Tell me your guess and assumption...
once again.
Did Ji Chang cause harm to that cursed Bae Do Eun...
as you suggested?
Why should my Ji Chang die?
We have to wait for the autopsy result,
so let's go to the NFS.
Hye Won.
Sung Yoon. Ji Chang was murdered.
Can you believe it?
This makes no sense.
Who would do this to Ji Chang?
I can smell a story here.
It'll make news.
Ji Chang was with me...
until two days ago.
This is all too sudden. I just can't believe it.
I was never a good grandmother to him,
so he must've passed away...
to get his revenge on me.
Grandmother.
This isn't the time to sit around idly.
Ji Chang died because of Lee Hye Won.
He tried his best to keep their marriage together...
until the end.
But that woman always wanted her way.
Tell me everything that happened...
between Ji Chang and Hye Won.
I'm not adding anything to the story...
to play a trick.
So, Hye Won said...
she'd hand over the voice recording...
of Bae Do Eun's murder instigation to the police,
insisting she was doing this for YJ with their divorce as her term.
That day, Hye Won got into a car accident,
and the voice recorder she wanted to give the police...
thankfully returned to Ji Chang.
But Hye Won...
continued to rile him and demanded the voice recorder.
Do you know where the voice recorder is?
I don't know its whereabouts,
but I don't think he scrapped it.
That voice recorder was the only way...
Ji Chang could keep that wicked Bae Do Eun on a leash,
so he must have hidden it away.
Bae Do Eun threatened him and said she'd expose her identity...
as Lee Hye Won's younger sister.
She said she'd disappear if he paid her what she wanted.
Ji Chang planned to take the deal.
His son, Yong Ki, was now born.
He probably had no choice but to comply with that wicked girl.
In order to keep his business and family safe,
he probably thought...
that covering everything up was the best choice he could make.
Everything I'm about to tell you now is just my speculation.
The facts may differ once you look into everything.
Ji Chang decided to make the deal,
but Bae Do Eun still couldn't be contained.
That was when he said this.
"Do you know how helpless it feels to sit on your hands..."
"and just watch the one who deserves to die?"
He said he should be excused to kill someone who deserved to die.
Ji Chang must have died...
trying to kill Bae Do Eun.
I heard he was found on a hill.
Someone evil like Bae Do Eun should disappear,
but if he tried to kill her...
If my speculations were correct, you must stop the investigation.
If this was exposed,
it would be like killing Ji Chang twice.
I can't let that happen.
That's impossible.
If what you said was true,
I couldn't let Ji Chang be known as someone who tried to murder.
You should go.
I have many calls to make.
If what Ji Eun said was true,
how did Ji Chang find Bae Do Eun?
It would mean that he found her before my backroom operation.
But Hye Won had also been looking for Bae Do Eun,
so he couldn't have found her hideout...
through Hye Won.
Could it be Yi Chul?
Has he been looking after Bae Do Eun?
If his father had been looking after her,
it would make sense if Ji Chang tailed his father.
Goodness.
(National Forensic Service)
(Autopsy Room, Authorized Personnel Only)
(National Forensic Service)
I appreciate Minister Cha's help.
Things began to move faster after he made a call...
to the director of the NFS...
to rush Ji Chang's autopsy.
This is something he should do.
(Postmortem Team 1)
I agree with the coroner on the cause of his death.
It was the impact on his head.
However, I don't think it was caused by falling off a cliff.
It must've been caused by a car accident.
"A car accident?"
I thought he was found on a hill.
He was.
I found livor mortis and glass shards on his body.
Someone must've caused the car accident...
and moved him to cover it up.
This person did a hit-and-run and abandoned his body too?
I must conduct a more detailed examination,
but there was one more oddity.
Unlike how car accidents usually are,
I can see hypodermic bleeding in his back area...
which is a little higher than the usual thigh area.
It would only make sense...
if the car drove into him and hit his back and head...
as he fell.
So, if he fell first and someone hit him with a car,
the acceleration would mean...
he fell from a high building.
Are you saying the primary cause of his death...
was a fall?
"A fall?"
Why am I here?
The passport will take a few days,
so you can stay there for a while.
Come upstairs. I'm on the 10th floor, Room 1004.
Room 1004? Nice number.
I'll be there soon.
Then, was it Bae Do Eun?
Does this mean someone killed Ji Chang?
I cannot tell if he fell on his own will or at someone else's.
This means there are...
two culprits.
(Baek Sung Yoon Law Office, Stella Tteokbokki)
(Nothing is impossible.)
It must've been Bae Do Eun...
who caused Yoon Ji Chang's fall.
Your husband wouldn't kill himself.
On top of that, she was hit by a dump truck...
near YJ Resort.
I had lost Yoon Ji Chang near that building,
so the locations match.
Sung Yoon, the medical examiner said...
it had been three days since Ji Chang was there.
So this happened to him on the night I went to find him there.
If I had gone there a little earlier,
I would've found him.
Then, he wouldn't have been in a hit-and-run accident.
No, I kept thinking if I hadn't lost him...
and searched through that building,
I probably could've stopped this tragedy.
My head is about to burst.
Hye Won, this is a case of murder and accidental mortality,
but the investigation is stalled.
I think someone powerful is stopping this.
The case should be either covered up or investigated.
It looked like Yoon Ji Chang couldn't have run Bae Do Eun over.
Then, who else must get rid of her?
Your in-laws, right?
Sung Yoon, I think everything is possible.
Ji Chang could've tried to kill Hye Ji,
or my in-laws could have tried to get rid of her.
Yes, I also don't think that's far-fetched.
But Hye Won,
I knew you were lonelier and more heartbroken...
because you loved Yoon Ji Chang so much.
Because I also...
have made someone lonely and heartbroken...
even though I said I loved her.
I learned that trust was necessary to love.
I didn't deserve to cry, so I couldn't.
But I hope you won't go through such sad incidents anymore.
You should run away from your guilty conscience...
and forget everything.
That's the only way you can live on.
Brace yourself for your son.
Stop blaming yourself.
It's okay.
You're a familiar face.
Come on. We both know what's up.
The late Director Yoon's wife and that attorney are...
having an affair, right?
I can turn something hard into something easy...
and something easy into something easier.
Do you want my support?
You must've taken after your politician father.
You're rather friendly.
I took after my father and learned how to play politics.
It's true that something smells fishy,
so you'll run the story as a negative scandal?
A negative campaign means making up someone's fault.
Lee Hye Won already is at fault for lurking around Ji Chang.
I can make the story look like a crime of passion.
Two words stronger than your pen are...
wire transfer, right?
Are you making a report or trying to slander her?
Get your story straight.
Do I have to state the obvious?
I'll give you an advantage too.
You always wanted to be in the politics department.
How long will you keep writing these gossips?
(The late Yoon Ji Chang, Wife: Lee Hye Won, Son: Yoon Yong Ki)
(Our deepest condolences.)
I'm so heartbroken and speechless.
It must've been hard for him to leave this world,
leaving his young son behind.
That poor man.
But Hye Won,
you must stay strong...
for your son, Yong Ki's sake.
(The late Yoon Ji Chang)
How dare you come here?
How brazen of you two.
You caused your husband's death and showed up here?
Drag them out of here!
Ma'am, you're crossing the line.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Why are you taking out your anger on the innocent Hye Won?
"Taking out anger?"
Do I have to state...
everything these two brazen sisters have done to my family?
That wasn't Hye Won's fault.
She has lost her husband now.
Please have mercy on her.
Drag these two out of here.
Let go of me.
This is my husband's funeral. Why do I have to go?
Let go of me.
You better leave before I expose everything.
I'm appalled by the sight of you.
I'll leave with Yong Ki as soon as Ji Chang's funeral is over.
Please let me stay for his funeral.
I could understand that I fell out of your favor.
So, please let me stay for his funeral.
I have to be here as he passes away.
You were the reason...
why Ji Chang took his own life.
He left a suicide note...
and took his life because of you!
What do you mean?
Do you want to see his suicide note?
The least I want to do now is rip you apart into pieces.
What are you doing? Drag out this detestable girl!
Hye Won. Ma'am!
Grandmother!
("YJ's Yoon Ji Chang's Suicide! Wife in an Affair with a Lawyer")
(Cha Ji Eun's backroom operation)
It smells like a huge scoop.
(Attach image)
("YJ's Yoon Ji Chang's Suicide! Wife in an Affair with a Lawyer")
Is this fake news with forged photos?
Who would benefit the most from Director Yoon's death?
Stop reading that fake news.
What if it's true?
Don't you understand how your eldest girl is built,
even though you gave birth to her?
She was someone who would keep any immorality away from her.
That story is complete nonsense.
Right? Yes.
Why would she have an affair with that lousy Attorney Baek...
if she had a rich guy like Yoon Ji Chang as a husband?
No.
Her in-laws were harsh on her,
so she could've fallen for someone else.
There's clear evidence.
These photos were all fabricated.
Gosh, why did my eldest son-in-law kill himself?
You haven't even met him. "Eldest son-in-law?"
That doesn't matter. If he was Hye Won's husband,
he was my eldest son-in-law.
No matter what the reason is,
he's now gone, casting a shadow over your eldest girl's life.
She had a son with him.
Her in-laws wouldn't ignore her.
The rich can be much more brutal.
They could take the kid away and kick her out.
No way.
Her in-laws wouldn't kick her out pennilessly...
Should we go to her in-laws for a head start?
I mean, I'm Hye Won's mother.
We should help her live a better life.
Totally agreed.
We're the best in Korea at twisting people's words...
and blackmailing people.
Bring me a notebook and a pen.
What?
Bring me some paper to write on.
We can't just say random things,
so let's write down what we're going to say.
When are you going to use the memo app...
on your phone?
In times like these.
I must've been born to make deals.
My gosh.
I really find it hard to follow your universe.
Anyway, from now on, I'll call you EE.
"EE?"
Extortion Expert.
Gosh, well, it's nice to be seen as an expert.
You're top-notch when it comes to your words.
I'm not just top-notch when it comes to my words.
Haven't you seen my killer body?
You're absurd.
You sound like a crazy man who's full of himself.
Darn it.
I'll sue all of you...
for defamation and trespassing.
We have a right to know, so tell us the truth.
If you didn't have an affair, you must have lots to say...
as an attorney who respects the law.
Why do you not wish to have an interview?
(Nothing is impossible.)
My gosh.
I'll only do an interview if your claims make any sense.
What?
Stay right there.
No, stay right there.
Cha Ji Eun is calling.
You know what?
A dumbhead like me can always cause the biggest trouble.
I will find evidence that you were bought out by Cha Ji Eun.
You better be ready.
Who do you think you are to slap me?
You don't deserve to do this!
No, I have every right.
I have more than enough rights.
You had an affair with him.
I can do much worse than just slapping you!
You don't get to say that as a fellow adulteress.
Why do you do this to me?
You already know about my pent-up anger!
Why should you be angry at me if you had an affair with him?
You were the one who offended me, so why should you be angry?
I will have nothing left in my life...
if I don't ruin your life!
This is more than absurd. I'm appalled.
You ruined everything because you dared...
to covet something you didn't deserve.
Ji Chang was mine!
If you had taken him from me, you should've kept him alive.
You killed Ji Chang.
He died because of you. Am I wrong?
Fine, I killed him.
He died because of me.
Bring him back.
Bring Ji Chang back!
Bring him to me now!
Hye Won, this is bad.
My mom must've gone mad.
She took Yong Ki...
(Hankang Medical Center)
What are you talking about?
I already told you.
Honorary Chairwoman Kim Myung Ae...
took him to a different hospital.
I'm his mother.
You can't do this without my consent.
Tell me where he went to.
I don't know that.
Tell me where she took my baby!
Tell me now!
Where is he?
(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)
Hey, I have to get inside.
I have to meet Grandmother.
She gave us an order to keep you out.
Where's my son?
You can't do this to me!
You'll never take my son from me!
Where's my son? Grandmother!
Father, please help me.
Grandmother took my son to another hospital...
without telling me.
I can't live without him.
Please help me find Yong Ki.
Open the door. And you may all leave.
Listen to me before you go in.
I'm only letting you in because you'll only give up...
once you are persuaded.
She wasn't someone who'd give up just because we kept her out,
so I let her in.
You must abandon unnecessary sympathy.
Their ties ended...
the moment Ji Chang died.
And she was the reason Ji Chang took his own life.
I know you were behind the absurd article that said...
I had an affair and caused Ji Chang's suicide.
It was fake news.
Watch what you say!
I'm not scared of anything at this point.
Hye Won, I know you are at your worst,
but nothing good will come from fighting my mom.
You should calm down and sit down.
I said I'd take my son and leave!
There's nothing I want from this family,
not even a speck of dust.
I'm standing at the edge of a cliff...
and out of my mind!
I'd barely consider letting you live even if you dropped and begged.
That attorney, Baek Sung Yoon, must be your sturdy support.
Enough is enough!
I knew you'd do anything to get your way.
But I will not hold back for much longer.
You can do whatever you want and anything you wish!
But you can't take my son, not my Yong Ki!
Not my son!
You may have given him birth,
but Yong Ki is Ji Chang's son.
The world crashed and collapsed for all of us.
Ji Chang was a husband of a few years for you,
but for the Yoon family, he was our only eldest son.
Now that you have a child,
you must understand how we feel.
I may not have the right to say anything as the man...
who brought Bae Do Eun here.
But your position is different.
If you considered everything your sister did to my family,
it would be logical for you to back off quietly.
I will.
And I have backed off as much as I should.
But Father, not my son.
Not my son, Yong Ki.
He won't be happier just because you raise him.
I won't let you raise Ji Chang's son,
my grandson.
No, I can't.
I'm doing my best to keep myself together...
and hold myself back, so do not rub me the wrong way.
I guess words won't have a way with you.
You can't take my son, Yong Ki, away from me!
Who are you?
Her man on the side?
I'm Ms. Lee's attorney.
How dare someone like you come into my house?
Ma'am, I came here to make this clear.
If you kidnap a child without the mother's consent,
you will be imprisoned for up to ten years...
according to Article 287 of the Criminal Code.
Stop talking nonsense and leave right now!
Hey, Chairman Yoon.
You people are the ones talking and doing nonsense!
How can you take a child away from his mother?
Let's go, Hye Won.
We can deal with these absurd people by the law.
Don't worry.
Korea is a country governed by the law.
(Authorized Personnel Only)
Ms. Bae Do Eun woke up.
Hye Won, what took you so long?
I was worried about you.
You must be angry because I didn't listen to you.
I shouldn't have stood up in the passenger's seat.
But it was a relief...
that only I got hurt.
You were driving, though. You aren't hurt, are you?
I got worried and asked the nurse,
but she said she didn't know.
I remembered that...
we got into a car accident on the way to our trip.
But I couldn't remember where we were headed.
The wind was so nice.
Right?
What if...
I was born as your older sister...
and you, my younger sister?
You would've bossed me around so much.
You still do now.
I love how my sister always does everything I want.
My scarf!
Watch out, Hye Ji!
I don't remember anything else after that.
Did I fall off the car while trying to catch the scarf?
But I must've had the seat belt on.
What are you talking about?
Why do you sound so angry?
Were my memories all messed up...
because I hurt my head?
Anyway, Hye Won.
Why do the nurses call me Bae Do Eun?
My name is Hye Ji.
Lee Hye Ji.
(The Two Sisters)
What if she isn't delusional but just lying?
What am I supposed to do now?
A girl who deserves to die should be done away with.
Do you want to raise your son...
as the child of someone who tried to murder?
Are you telling me to come into the YJ family...
and give you my life as the collateral?
So, Lee Hye Won needs my help now?
We'll meet very soon.
