(Episode 110)
Just a moment.
Hello?
- What? - What's wrong?
Kyung Shin just turned herself in.
Okay, bye.
She's arrested and confined in a detention center.
I'm relieved.
I was worried that Kyung Shin might do something bad to herself.
After what happened to Seung Mi,
she should be too ashamed to die.
She should stay alive and pay for what she did.
I heard she went to the sanitarium where Seung Mi's mother is at...
and gave her all the money she had left.
She asked the nurse to take good care of her until she passes away.
I guess she was reminded of her own mother.
When is the prosecution going to start investigating her?
I heard she's getting investigated today.
What if she lies and says...
you told her to do everything just so she could get out of it?
Then they might start investigating you as well.
If they want me there, then I'll just have to go.
The prosecution is going to try their best...
to make you guilty of something as well.
I'm worried that you might end up going to jail.
My goodness, that's enough.
I'm Jang Kyung Hwan of Special Crimes Department One...
of Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Are you Ms. Choi Kyung Shin?
I can't believe this.
Ji Young's in-laws must be completely shocked.
What's going to happen to Sung Nam now that he even murdered someone?
He'll have to do his time in prison.
He's guilty of theft and robbery, so he'll be given a long sentence.
My gosh, why couldn't he live a good life?
Imagine how upset his late father would be if he knew about this.
My goodness.
You helped him out so much.
Why couldn't he just get to his senses?
It's all my fault.
I should've met him in person and told him...
to live a diligent life.
I could've even offered him a job here at our restaurant.
My goodness, you talk like a philanthropist.
Why would you be the one to talk some sense into him?
And it's not like he would've listened to you.
She's right. He was never capable of thinking straight.
He made Ji Young become a surrogate so that he could earn money.
That already shows that he's not human.
He's just reaping what he sowed.
But Jenny must feel really upset...
because of what happened to her mom.
- Does Jenny know? - I'm pretty sure she does.
("Choi Kyung Shin Turns Herself in and Starts Getting Investigated")
(The former chairwoman of A One Group, Choi Kyung Shin,)
(turned herself in to the prosecution today.)
You can never predict what will happen in life.
I know.
She was sitting right there just until yesterday.
I feel so sorry for her.
I can't believe it.
I heard Ms. Kim has a sick mother.
What's going to happen to her?
Ms. Choi apparently gave all her money to the sanitarium...
and asked them to take good care of her until she passes away...
before she went and turned herself in.
That was loyal of her.
Yes.
I didn't know a witch like her could feel sad.
Hey, Bong Kyu.
What? Really?
Okay, bye.
Bong Kyu wants to treat me to dinner later.
- She wants to you to come as well. - Really?
Why are you suddenly so close with Bong Kyu now?
The thing is, after she came back from the blind date that day...
- Do you want me to buy it? - No.
How did it go?
Did you meet Jae Min?
We're going to meet again.
I'm so happy for you.
I heard that jerk is your first love.
Hey, why would you call him "that jerk"?
Thanks, Mi Hyun.
I thought you actually dated Jae Min.
No, we were always friends.
Really?
I guess I was mistaken.
Thank you so much, my sister-in-law.
Don't mention in, my sister-in-law.
What's going on? Did you guys make up with each other?
- Yes. - Yes.
This is great.
What?
Did you guys become enemies because of that guy?
Yes. But now that they hit it off thanks to me,
we were able to recover our friendship.
- That's great. - Yes, I know.
- I'm so happy for you. - Me too.
We don't fight anymore.
Hyun Joon, I looked into it a little.
And that prosecutor is apparently really thirsty for success.
Then he'll try his best to make something out of this case.
You and Dad's fate is in Kyung Shin's hands.
Let me ask you one more time.
Who else participated in making this paper company?
Chairman Shin and Vice-Chairman Shin were also involved in this, right?
No.
Are you saying you did this without the chairman's permission?
Is that even possible?
I'm saying I did it by myself because that's the truth.
That makes no sense.
This kind of stuff isn't possible without the chairman's consent.
Be honest with me.
He asked you to take responsibility for everything, didn't he?
No.
I heard your husband even filed for divorce...
after he found out that you're Jenny's mother.
What did he promise you in return?
Money?
I wasn't promised anything.
If you hide your accomplice,
it could result in a longer sentence.
It'll be better for you to be honest.
Chairman Shin and Vice-Chairman Shin helped you...
embezzle all that money, didn't they?
Do you really think they actually have the guts to do that?
They're very conscious about keeping their conscience.
That kind of stuff requires cooperation, you know.
Okay, fine. Let's move on.
Then why did you transfer your money to Bermuda and Switzerland?
Were you trying to siphon off money abroad?
No.
I was planning on bringing it back soon.
I only had the money transferred abroad...
for the sake of doing business.
Was that such a wrong thing to do?
You must know the law very well.
If you're found guilty of trying to siphon money abroad,
you'll be sentenced to life since it exceeds 20 million dollars.
I'm saying it's not true because it's not.
Let's see who's going to win.
I don't think it's going to be that hard to prove it anyway.
Now, what's next?
It says here that you even hacked into the server system...
of Mr. Shin Sang Hyuk's company.
Hey.
I just got a briefing from the Legal Team.
The prosecution apparently tried to accuse...
you and Dad just like what we had expected.
But Kyung Shin kept denying it...
and told them that she's fully responsible for everything.
I'm relieved.
Okay, bye.
I was worried, but I guess she at least has some conscience.
But then again, she wouldn't even be human if she lied.
Are you okay?
Yes, thank you.
You don't need to hold onto me. I can walk properly.
You drank a lot. Let me help you.
It must be hard for you.
Do you think it's because you still have feelings for Kyung Shin?
No, I don't have any feelings left for her. I'm sick of her.
Really?
Does this make you feel uncomfortable?
Yes.
At least for now.
You're like an unconquerable fortress.
I used to like you back when we were in university.
Thanks.
"Thanks."
What a lame answer.
I'm so grateful that...
she told the truth to the prosecution.
Yes, it's such a relief.
If Kyung Shin ended up blaming Dad for everything she did,
it would've been really hard to prove his innocence.
Does Kyung Shin have enough money to hire an attorney?
I think she's going to use a public defender.
Really?
(Seoul Prison)
I'm Attorney Song Tae Joon, and I'll be defending you.
I'm here because of Chairman Shin Sang Hyuk.
Chairman Shin Sang Hyuk?
Yes, he's also my friend.
You're his sister-in-law, so I'll do the best I can.
I'm so grateful.
But it's okay.
Tell him that I'll take care of my own matters.
I asked the Legal Team to bring back...
all the money that Kyung Shin had transferred abroad.
The money was never ours,
so I'm going to claw all the money back...
and use that money to pay all the subcontractors that...
weren't properly paid due to cost reduction.
Great.
And I took care of the bank loans...
by offering Lotieler's credit as collateral.
And I also met up with all the factory and store owners...
and had a discussion about how we're planning to correct things.
And it turns out that you hadn't completely lost their trust.
So we're slowly starting to talk things out.
Okay, that's a big relief.
Try to come up with ways in how we can benefit them.
- Okay. - My goodness.
You're going through an awful lot trying to clean up...
the mess that your sister-in-law made.
How are things going with her preparation for the trial?
I don't know.
I sent her an attorney from a law firm, but she sent him back.
What?
Is she going to go to trial without an attorney?
I think she's going to use a public defender.
My goodness, I guess she wanted to protect her pride.
But what can a public defender do?
She should think about getting out of...
prison as soon as possible for Tae Woong's sake.
Is Tae Woong okay?
The nanny and Ji Young are taking care of him.
But he keeps asking for his mom.
I feel sorry for him every time I see him.
When's the trial?
It's on Wednesday the week after the next.
- Tae Woong. - Uncle Sang Hyuk.
Come here, you adorable boy.
How about you, me, and Aunt Ji Young go outside and play?
Where's my mom?
Can you tell her to hurry up and come back?
Your mom went to the US for a business trip.
Let's go outside and play.
Yes, you should go play with him outside.
He keeps complaining that his mom's not coming back.
So go play with him.
Okay.
Tae Woong.
Let's go play with me.
Bye.
Prisoner 3866.
(Seoul Family Court, Verdict)
(The plaintiff and defendant shall get a divorce.)
(The plaintiff will be given parental and custodial rights.)
- Do you want to sit over there? - Sure, let's sit down for a while.
I'm so ironic.
In what way?
I was going to have a baby alone and raise it all by myself.
But I feel reassured now that you're here with us.
I'm glad that she can grow up with a dad.
I'm starting to think that I was only trying to deceive myself.
Should we get married?
I want to get married...
and become Soo Ji's legal father...
and your husband.
I'm not sure. I don't really have positive views on marriage.
I know I lack a lot of stuff,
but I promise that I'll be the best husband.
I can even risk my life...
for you and Soo Ji.
Please give me a chance.
(Court)
Prosecutor, please state your final opinion.
I ask you, Your Honor,
to sentence the defendant, Choi Kyung Shin,
to two years of imprisonment...
for obstruction of business using computer intrusion.
And as for siphoning money abroad,
I'd like you to sentence her to 15 years of imprisonment...
due to the fact that it exceeds over 20 million dollars.
Attorney, would you like to make a final plead?
Yes, Your Honor.
The defendant, Choi Kyung Shin,
admits to her charges of dereliction of duty.
However, the establishment of JNC Company...
wasn't a means to siphon money abroad.
It should rather be viewed as a domestic case instead.
That's because there are no records of her...
having spent money abroad whatsoever.
And it can also be proved...
by the fact that she never tried to go abroad.
Therefore, I'd like to point out...
that JNC Company was established to siphon money...
within domestic borders.
That is all.
Defendant, please begin your final testimony.
The sentence hearing will be held on the fifth next month.
And I'd like both the prosecution and attorney to hand in...
any additional documents before that date.
Everyone, please stand.
- You, filthy jerk. - Prisoner 3866.
15 years?
How much of that sentence can be reduced?
I'm not sure. The public defender is doing his best.
Is there no way for us to help?
She won't accept an attorney.
I hate her for what she did,
but I pity her that she'll have to be in prison for over 10 years.
She needs to pay for what she did.
("Choi Kyung Shin's First Trial Begins Today")
(A One Group's former chairwoman's first trial was held today.)
How did Kyung Shin end up like this?
She used to be a decent person.
Hey, Hye Rim.
Yes?
I... Well...
What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?
I told my mom that Soo Ji is my daughter.
I'm sorry for doing that without your consent.
But you see, my mom really wishes to see her.
Can I please show her just once?
I showed her Soo Ji's photo,
and she started crying.
What?
Did you go to the hearing?
Yes.
I hope things work out.
I heard you're finally divorced.
Does that mean you're single now?
Yes.
You're just like me now.
Congratulations on being single again.
Don't put on a straight face. There's no need to be so serious.
In the end, we're all alone.
Don't get drunk today.
There won't be anyone to take you home.
Yes, I know that.
I'm just drinking with one cold-hearted guy.
- Let's not start again. - I'm leaving.
- What? - I'm going to the US.
It's like a sabbatical year for me.
The head office gave me some time off.
Really? I should congratulate you.
Yes. To be honest, I was wondering if I should go or not.
But you helped me come to my decision.
You made it clear that we're friends.
I'm sorry. I'm not in the place to date anyone right now.
I know. I guess we weren't meant to be this time around.
My goodness.
This is unbelievable. How crazy.
She's so pretty. My goodness.
What am I going to do?
She looks just like Jin Kook back when he was a baby.
Really? Does she look like me?
Yes, she's so pretty. I'm about to go crazy.
Who do you like better? Her or me?
Get lost.
My gosh, you're so lovely and cute.
How adorable.
I only had a son,
so it was my wish to have a daughter whom I could doll up.
These are so pretty.
Look at this. She'll wear these shoes and put this on.
They're so pretty.
I'm having so much fun.
I even went this far because I wanted a daughter.
Who is she?
Him.
What?
- Me? - Yes.
I really wanted to make him wear a dress.
Everyone we met thought he was a daughter.
By the way, when are you going to get married?
You should hurry up and get married.
Mom, it's too early for that.
We'll talk about it on our own.
Hye Rim, can you please marry him?
If you marry him,
I'll give you anything you want.
I'll do everything for you, and I promise I won't be a bother.
I won't even come over if you don't want me here.
I won't even call you either.
I won't be that mean mother-in-law.
- Mother. - Mom, what's wrong with you?
Stay still.
I'm not saying this because he's my son,
but he's seriously a really good guy.
You're the only girl he's ever liked ever since university.
He'll even die if you ask him to.
Hye Rim, he won't make you suffer.
But if he does,
I'll take him out of our family registry.
Hye Rim.
Can you please trust my son and give him a chance?
Everyone, please be seated.

(Attorney, Defendant)
I'm glad it ended there.
I was worried that she'd get sentenced to life imprisonment.
Yes.
I guess...
she'll be transferred to prison soon.
(Person-centered correction practice)
Someone's here.
How ill-mannered are you?
You should introduce yourself.
- What did she do? - She committed an economic offense.
She committed an economic offense?
She's a corrupt brat?
No wonder her face is so pale.
- Hey, wake her up. - Okay.
Hey, our boss wants to talk to you.
Are you deaf?
Get up.
I can't be bothered. Go have fun on your own.
My gosh.
Did she just ignore me?
She must not know who you are yet.
Listen. She's in here for murder.
She beat her husband to death.
You better get up.
What do you want?
Do you want to die?
You little brat.
- Fine, go ahead and hit me! - Hey!
- Hit me! - What the...
Go ahead and beat me up!
What a crazy witch.
You better just leave me alone...
if you want to leave this place without any trouble.
Let's see who wins.
You can use physical power, and I'll use my head.
Let's see...
who will win.
My gosh.
(I am also Mother)
Can you tell my mom to come back quickly?
She's in the US.
It's going to take a long time for her to come back.
My gosh.
Hyun Joon, why are you making things so uncomfortable?
What's all the fuss?
- Honey, what's wrong? - I think I'm having contractions.
What?
