(Episode 7)
Honey.
Darling.
I think...
I stepped in poop.
Why did you let things get so bad?
I didn't do anything.
She started the whole thing.
Who? The employee?
She's the tail.
If she's the tail, who's the head?
You know Assemblywoman Ji Hwa Ja, right?
That nasty woman dumped me in muddy water.
She set the whole thing up?
Yes. I walked right into her trap.
That's why that witch wavered when...
we offered her 100,000 dollars.
And she wept and pretended to be the victim?
Is there anything else I can find out for you?
Well, Director Kang the vet...
He went to find me a lawyer.
Joon Ho?
Yes. I need to talk to one.
What about me.
What should I do?
Don't get involved.
Those people planned this for a long time.
You could get trapped too.
What happens to you if you can't escape this?
I'll be humiliated...
and my life will be over.
He said his life will be over. You can't just do nothing.
What do you think?
I can't let this go.
I will save my husband.
However well they planned this, we have the gut feeling.
Let's use that.
What gut feeling?
The employee wavered when we offered 100,000 dollars.
- Let's offer 200,000. - That much?
Money's not an obstacle when you have a husband to save.
Yes. If only that were to work,
we can get Ji Hwa Ja too.
Go and talk to her.
On my own?
Dal Sook and I have to go and talk to that Ji Hwa Ja woman.
We're all women, so we might get through to her.
Okay. Let's go.
If the victim's adamant, there's no way out.
Especially if there are witnesses too.
That's why I came...
That's why I'm here to see you, Lawyer So.
Find us a way out.
I don't make anything on cases like that.
Criminal charges are hard to beat.
I can't just sit and do nothing...
when he's innocent.
Where's the evidence to prove he's innocent?
I can guarantee that.
You have two minutes left.
Do you want a 30-minute extension?
I'll ask you just one more thing then.
I'm going to get a divorce.
Can you tell me the one thing I must check?
Finances.
Check how much money goes in and out of your accounts.
If you think about it,
everything in life happens over money.
Money...
I was the only one who didn't know everything happens over money.
Hang on. If Heo Se was set up,
shouldn't we check that woman's account?
How can I do that?
The police might be able to if they investigate.
So, did the lawyer take the case?
Okay.
Insurance?
Why are we paying so much monthly premium?
What insurance is this?
The number for HC Insurance, please.
She took a few days off?
Yes.
Could you give me her phone number?
Let me call her.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message.
Her phone is turned off.
- Gosh. - What's going on?
What insurance?
Life insurance for married couples.
The wife pays for the husband,
and the husband pays for the wife.
Who is paying for whose policy then?
Kang Joon Ho is paying for Nam Mi Rae.
Can you explain in detail?
There's always a chance that you could get sick,
or in case you're hurt...
or die in unforeseen circumstances or an accident,
you get a million dollars.
You mean that if I die, my wife...
she gets a million dollars?
That's correct.
Director, are you okay?
Did your wife take out life insurance on you in secret?
She really stabbed me in the back.
So what?
They offered 100,000 dollars, so you'll switch sides?
You're really mad for money.
I can't give you any more, so if you want to change sides, go ahead.
I'll throw you all in prison.
Come in.
(Honest People Party, Ji Hwa Ja)
Welcome.
I'm Ji Hwa Ja.
What can I do for you?
We met at a year-end party once.
Oh, you're Assemblyman Tak's wife.
- Yes. - Come this way.
I'm so sorry.
There's nothing I can say, to be honest.
You were with him that day.
Who's this?
My friend.
She offered moral support, I was so scared.
I see.
Is Assemblyman Tak usually that fond of women?
Not at all. This is the first time in our life that this happened.
Really?
He'd been taking chances all evening.
He stole glances at the server's breast...
and touched her hand while offering her tips.
I thought that all men were the same.
Assemblyman Tak had a tendency to look down on women.
He always says women are so-and-so.
I got mocked too, because I'm a woman.
- By my husband? - Yes.
That's why he took advantage of the employee...
And he ended up in trouble.
Did you see Assemblyman Tak molest the employee?
No, not at first.
I heard a strange noise inside, and when I went in...
I'm too embarrassed to describe what I saw.
Is there anything you could do to help him?
My husband wants to give everything up...
and go back to his life.
Please. They have two girls in high school.
You can save a family here.
I want to help,
but I'm on our district's Women's Rights Committee.
I can't take your husband's side.
There's nothing more I can say.
Sorry.
I'd like to take this.
I'm glad we met her. I'm positive.
She set it all up.
I think so too.
How could she have gone in when she heard a commotion?
She was waiting outside.
A man who considers his two daughters his heirs...
humiliates women?
A man who's careful never to touch women...
touched an employee's hand to give tips?
They're all lies.
We know what happened now, but how do we prove it?
What kind of a name is Ji Hwa Ja?
Jihwaja is a song that...
people sing when the country's peaceful and prosperous.
She changed her name to that when she got into politics.
She's such a schemer.
Guess what her name used to be.
- What was it? - Jin Ah.
Jin Ah? That's a nice name. Why change it?
Say it with her surname.
Ji Jin Ah.
See, what did I say?
I told you to trust Dad.
It's all circumstantial.
We need proof.
Hello.
The employee's gone.
I can't reach her, and she's not at home.
She disappeared.
She's the only one who has proof.
Should we go heads-on?
- Heads-on? - Heads-on?
I worked with building supplies my whole life.
I can't do sales.
And not at a supermarket of all places.
It wasn't easy for me to get you that job opening.
I did the best within my power.
Be grateful that you have a job...
and work hard.
Welcome.
Do you see this is rotten?
Manager, you're needed at the cashier.
Do you see this, this and this? They're all rotting.
- You ate three. - Yes.
Then I noticed they were rotting.
- When did you buy them? - Yesterday.
Then you should've brought them back yesterday.
They were all fine when I ate three.
I want a refund.
We'll pay you for the rotten four.
I want a full refund.
You ate 3 and 4 of them are fine.
Pay her for four peaches.
How can I eat what's rotten?
That's why you should've brought them yesterday.
- Darn you all. - Gosh.
Do you think you can afford to be picky?
Didn't you see Germany in the recent World Cup?
Even the goalkeeper joined the offense.
And what happened?
They lost to us by 2-0.
You go out and die on the battlefield.
Gosh.
Isn't that how determined you were when you blackmailed me?
Come in.
When do you leave?
- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?
Tell Mom before you go.
And watch her cry?
No, I can't do that.
Even so. You don't know when you'll return.
I wrote a letter. Pass it to Mom for me.
Leave it on your desk...
so she'll find it.
You're afraid too, aren't you?
Why should I deal with the aftermath of your problems?
- See you. - The night shift?
Yes.
Will you see me before you go?
(Jeil Hospital)
When at work, don't think about anything else.
Concentrate on the patients.
(Baek Hyeon U)
I don't want to get married...
or date anyone. Even less so...
with someone this young whom I work with.
And of course I don't like you.
An ER nurse in the US is very specialized.
That's why he's trying so hard.
If you just pass the US Emergency Medicine Exam,
it's a huge deal.
US Emergency Medicine?
- Is someone studying for it? - Nurse Baek.
That's why he stays late to study.
If he passes the exam, will he go to the US?
Of course he will.
Why else would he take it?
This nurse I worked with at Hanguk University Hospital...
finally passed after studying for five years.
She says the working conditions...
are great and tells me to try it,
but I can't handle English.
I just don't like it.
Come in.
Nurse Kim, what is it?
Is it because of me?
Are you studying...
to go to America to get away from me?
Do you dislike me that much?
Am I that disgusting?
There's no choice.
You can't go. I won't let you go.
Don't read this. You don't need to.
Nurse Kim, I...
Nurse Kim.
(Head Nurse Baek Hyeon U)
It's in Korean.
You idiot.
Nurse Kim.
You know,
my parents are dead and I have no siblings.
I'm all alone on this planet.
I feel lonely sometimes, but there's no pressure either.
That's why I will...
go to America.
I'll go, see and learn a lot...
You don't have to...
go to America to learn.
I will be your mom and your dad.
So you don't feel lonely.
How old are you, Nurse Kim?
25.
If I'd gotten married young, I'd have a daughter your age.
How can you be my mom and dad?
Does age matter that much?
Nurse Kim.
This is our last conversation on this topic.
If you bring it up again, I'll send you to another ward.
Get out.
Let's go inside.
Dad.
- Girls. - Dad.
Il Lan, Yi Ran.
Are you okay? Do you eat on time?
Yes, I ate.
We brought food. Eat this.
Why did you bring so much?
So you can eat a lot.
I'm sorry.
That you must see me like this.
We know you aren't that kind of person.
The whole world can mock you,
but we trust you.
Thanks.
I know for sure now that I met Ji Hwa Ja.
That she planned everything.
I'll get you out of here, so hang in there.
Did you go to see her?
Thank you.
For trusting me.
You too, girls.
I was so afraid that you wouldn't believe me.
- Dad. - Dad.
This is...
how precious a family is.
Don't cry.
Don't let the girls see you cry.
You can manage.
Okay.
I have an idea of my own,
so don't worry and go rest.
You need to rest yourself.
You don't look good on TV when you're thin.
You aren't that handsome already, and now all I see is your nose.
Okay.
Eat up, Dad.
Chew slowly.
Have some eel.
Get in the car.
What business do we have that you asked to see me?
Must you...
go this far?
You should've just yielded to me.
I'll give it all up.
I'll give in.
Just let me stay on the council.
You're so naive, aren't you?
You don't cut weeds, you pull them out by the roots.
So they don't cause further problems.
That's why I prepared something.
The assemblywomen seem to like me too.
I can be quite passionate sometimes.
Shall I show you what it means to be passionate?
You spoke a bit too freely.
You cut out all the other parts.
That's so scary.
You shouldn't be scared over this.
There's one final card in my deck.
I'll release this tomorrow and bury you for good.
Behind that face of yours that looks so kind and gentle...
hides a viper.
Why didn't I know?
You don't know women at all.
You can't...
see through women even if they're made of glass.
Until the woman coughs it up,
you can never know.
Assemblywoman Ji.
Thank you so much for putting me in here.
I was only in here for a day,
but I found the answer I hadn't been able to in 10 years.
I knew politics has its problems...
and it's full of trickery,
but I didn't know it was this bad.
You are trash.
People like you shouldn't be in politics.
The people won't be happy.
That's why...
I made up my mind.
I will, on my name,
put you in silver bracelets...
and send you to prison.
Why?
Look.
Do you think I won't be able to?
Assemblyman Tak.
Will you be this confident in front of a judge too?
Let's wait and see.
The employee went into hiding.
It's clear that she took a payment.
Kang Joon Ho.
What idiot would have the money wired to her account?
It would leave a trace.
You left a trace each month.
- What trace. - Why didn't you tell me?
About the life insurance policy on me.
Oh, that. I didn't tell you?
If I die, a huge amount...
goes straight into your account.
How do you think...
- I felt when I found out? - How did you feel?
I was so disgusted that I threw up.
Is it something to throw up over?
Also,
the money is for me, so of course I should be alive.
Who should die for the money? You.
Why should it be on my life?
If you die, we'll have no income.
Dong Hyun and I need to live off something.
Isn't that what insurance is for?
Why not take it out on your life?
Why waste money on expensive premiums?
We don't get it back.
Wait.
It looks like you're upset that I'll get all the money if you die.
Who else should it go to?
Your mother?
Will you take it with you when you die?
Okay. This is the last time...
I put up with your talk.
What's this?
I sold the apartment and closed all my accounts.
That's exactly half.
Move out as soon as possible.
Were you that upset about the insurance?
Yes.
I paid the insurance premium on a life policy taken out on me.
If I die, you get the money...
and I had no clue!
Wouldn't you feel bothered?
No.
I think I'd be pleased.
- You'd be pleased? - Yes.
Isn't it great to think you cared for your family in death?
As a man, if you can't save your country,
you should at least save your family.
If I were a man, I think I'd feel proud.
Are you not a man?
Why must I feel guilty now?
You've been studying hard. Do you have an exam?
Mom. I think instinct is really scary.
- Why? - I looked it up online.
You move without you knowing.
Now that I know you're getting divorced,
I'm finding my own way to survive.
So you're studying hard?
That's survival instinct.
Do you feel anxious that we're getting divorced?
No. I don't feel anxious.
I just wonder what'll happen to me.
Is it okay to get on with my life?
You do feel uneasy then.
I don't think about it much.
You just said so.
That instinct is moving without you knowing.
Bingo.
Just remember one thing.
To me and Dad, you are our priority.
Now I feel really uneasy.
Say I'm your first priority. I'm top of the list.
Okay, you're on the top.
With Assemblyman Tak denying all charges,
new evidence has come to light.
This new evidence is a photo from the scene.
With something this critical,
Assemblyman Tak can no longer deny his charges.
Another piece of evidence, a recording, was also released.
We'll play it for you.
The assemblywomen seem to like me too.
I can be quite passionate sometimes.
Shall I show you what it means to be passionate?
You go to your room.
She happened to come in and take that photo?
That's impossible.
That is proof that she was well-prepared.
What'll you do?
Let's just barge in and grab her by the throat.
We can't do that.
We must be sly and set our own trap.
How?
There's no time. Talk on the way.
- Gosh. - Tell us what you'll do.
No. I'll just come with you.
You stay out of it and study.
Just go to school instead.
And fight and say your dad's innocent.
If you can't do that, be good and stay at home.
"You stay out of it and study."
They slacked off when they were in school.
This makes me think humans are just like frogs.
They forget what they used to be like.
Like I told Director Kang, cases like this are tough.
It's tough as it is and now, there's a photo and a recording.
It's impossible.
The recording is an edited version...
that's totally out of context.
Have a listen to this.
I didn't say much.
I'm not surprised. You people are all the same.
But this isn't enough.
The judge might take it into consideration,
but it won't clear you.
The circumstantial evidence is stacked against you.
Look, you're like a mole.
Someone blocked your way out with a photo.
There's no room for you to maneuver.
Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual solicitation.
I hate all those cases.
It is a mess, but you can't prove your innocence.
It would be easier to turn a mountain upside-down.
What you need is something powerful.
Why not just...
admit to it and settle?
I can't do that.
Don't yell at me.
Then take this pen and...
record your remorse.
Lawyer So.
Go to Hanguk University Hospital...
and meet Professor Go Chi Yeol.
Professor Go Chi Yeol?
Yes.
He knows very well about me.
He can help.
I'm not sure how he can help.
You can't mess up, Dal Sook.
You must be secretive.
Okay.
Mi Rae, don't you interrupt with your nonsense.
You can't say that.
My nonsense is what got us our lead.
Still, be careful.
What's the phrase again?
- Pitch an enemy against an enemy. - Right, enemy against an enemy.
We're using one group against another.
We need to be careful.
Okay, I got the point.
Let's go.
(In the East Sea)
What man can't even swim?
Yes?
Look.
I have nothing more to say, so get out.
Do you really have nothing to say?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
If it's to prove my innocence,
I will do anything.
The evidence that will clear you.
Go and listen to it.
- Don't film us. Don't. - I'm...
Do you come here to play?
You eat and chat with a friend...
and make calls during work hours.
Hasn't Nurse Baek been a bit odd these days?
