KIM HO RAN, KANG WOO JOO
Now do you see why?
Why you're not qualified?
You claimed that she's the only one that's left of your bloodline.
But she doesn't have a single drop of your blood in her body.
So this was it? The secret that you've been trying to hide.
Or...
is there more that you want to hide?
Even if you wish to back out now,
I will go through with it until the end.
Whatever the truth is, this is only the beginning,
Chairwoman Kim.
SUBJECT A IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY RELATED TO SUBJECT B.
Die, die!
Die.
So you did that on purpose.
Who are you?
Prosecutor Park Hae Jin from Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.
You're suspected of tax evasion...
and creating a slush fund.
This is a search and seizure warrant.
Prosecutor Park Hae Jin.
You're making a huge mistake right now.
We'll see what the investigation says.
Team One search the chairwoman's office and the secretary's office.
Team 2 search D.O Art Center and Team 3 go to the finance department.
Confiscate everything.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
LIE AFTER LIE
EPISODE 15
What is it?
I think I should just leave.
But you came all the way here.
Woo Joo hasn't opened her heart to me yet.
So she might feel uncomfortable around me.
You tell her instead of me.
PATIENT: KANG WOO JOO
Where's your aunt?
She went to the bathroom.
Were you drawing something?
Yes.
Here.
Ms. Ji wanted to give this to you.
Woo Joo.
To be honest,
she came right in front of the door but just left.
The doctor...
told us that you and Ms. Ji can have the surgery.
But of course,
your decision is the most important.
Dad.
Yes?
If I get the surgery,
will I really get better?
Of course.
Then...
what happens to Ms. Ji?
Won't it hurt Ms. Ji?
I think Woo Joo is opening her heart to you.
Thank goodness.
Woo Joo,
I promise you that I'll prove my innocence.
I will keep that promise no matter what.
HORIM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
WOO JOO THIS IS MOM. I DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE...
Woo Joo.
This is Mom.
I don't have the courage to face you so I'm writing this letter to you.
I...
made such a big mistake with you.
Mom, don't leave.
Take me with you.
Mom, Mom! Mom.
Mom!
I promised to be with you forever.
But I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most.
Then I didn't want Ms. Ji getting closer to you.
Because I was jealous.
So when I found out that she was a convicted murderer,
I told everyone.
I told your grandma and Dad.
And I told you unintentionally.
But it seems it's not true.
It seems that she was wrongly accused...
of something she didn't do.
Maybe the Ms. Ji you saw with your eyes...
is the real her. That's what I wanted to tell you.
And I'm really sorry.
EASTERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
It's time, ma'am.
Stay in the car.
You're being summoned by the prosecution today.
So I wanted to send you off myself.
Unfortunately, it won't go as you wish.
Because I'll be out soon.
Let's talk about the kid's surgery then.
I didn't know Gi Bum wasn't your real son.
You were obsessed about your own flesh and blood.
All right.
Gi Bum wasn't my biological son.
But he was more than that.
Because I raised him as my own.
Then why did you lie about it?
Because you were afraid people would condemn you?
Or did you think it would hurt D.O Group's reputation?
Was that the only reason you wanted to keep this as a secret?
Shut your mouth.
Did you kill Mr. Yoon to protect something that's of zero value?
Who says so?
You killed Mr. Yoon.
You just didn't do it with a knife like you did with my son.
Isn't this odd?
You never once suspected that someone else other than me...
could have killed him.
What now? Are you about to lie and tell me you didn't do it?
Do you think you could change my mind?
Are you sure you aren't hoping that I'm the culprit?
Just you wait.
I'm going to make sure...
I find the truth behind this.
Hey, there's Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran!
- Come on over! Hurry! - It's Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran!
Do you admit to your charge of tax evasion?
- What's your plan? - Do you admit to your charges?
Please share your opinion.
- Tell us something! - You do admit, don't you?
Say something!
Is it true that you created a slush fund?
- Tell us if it's true. - Did you really evade taxes?
- What's your plan now? - Do you admit to your charges?
This is obviously an attempt of malicious slander.
I'll make sure I clear my charges in cooperation with the investigation.
I'm sorry for causing much concern.
- Did you really make a slush fund? - Do you admit?
- Tell us yes or no! - Did you really do that?
Tell us something for sure!
Hey, who's that?
I brought him in myself while he was gambling.
The stake was unbelievably high.
- Goodness. - Something already smells fishy.
I really didn't...
Quiet.
I've seen him somewhere before.
Gosh, darn it.
HORIM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, Mr. Kang.
Hello. You all must be Woo Joo's friends.
What's going on?
I thought Woo Joo might miss her friends,
so I asked Mi Jin for help.
- Goodness, hello. - Hello.
I went to get something to drink.
- We miss Woo Joo so much. - We miss Woo Joo so much.
Okay, let's go.
- Please, let's go. - Sure.
Excuse me for a second.
Yes, Detective Kwon.
What?
Yes, I understand. Okay.
Something just came up.
Don't worry about it and go. I'll stay here.
I'll talk to you when I get back.
- Detective Kwon. - Hey, Mr. Kang.
- Where is he? - Over there.
Here. Take a look at this.
It's him, isn't he?
What's his identity?
He's from Yanbian.
His name is Hwang Deok Man, but everyone around calls him Hwang.
He has eight convictions like violence and attempted murder.
Your friends who got caught with you told us...
you showed up with a huge amount of money from time to time.
Where did you get that?
My gosh, man.
Do I have to tell you where I got my money from?
You have no job or any means of making a living. Did you steal it?
This darned world. Hey.
Does a guy who looks like this...
seem like he's nothing but a thief?
How much did you get for killing a person?
What?
Yoon Sang Kyu.
You killed him, didn't you?
What's he saying?
There's no way you wouldn't know about it.
This is you, isn't it?
I looked up the history of your cell phone signal,
and you were around the area...
at the time of Yoon Sang Kyu's death.
Man, if I was nearby, does that automatically mean...
I killed him?
You didn't do this alone, did you?
Someone put you up for this.
What is this guy trying to say?
Was it Kim Ho Ran?
He won't open his mouth no matter what we do.
We can't begin the investigation just with the security footage,
let alone charge him for murder.
Then...
If we have no hard evidence, we'll need his confession.
May I see his belongings?
- His belongings? - Yes.
Everyone in the class signed it wishing you to get better soon.
Jin Gook came up with the idea.
Don't tell her that. You're making me embarrassed.
I wrote this.
WOO JOO, IT FEELS SO EMPTY LIKE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS GONE.
Thanks, guys.
Come back soon. The four of us have to go around as a whole group.
Okay.
Right, why don't we put up a performance...
with this song for our school festival? Take a look.
I'm a tough girl, I'm a tough girl.
Will you please get lost?
Guys, can you choose a mixed group?
I want to do this with Woo Joo too.
What? You're going to dance, Jin Gook?
Yes, Dancing Machine is my nickname. Want to see?
- What is he doing? - What is that?
What is he doing?
Look.
- And 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. - My gosh.
- What's he saying? - It seems too tough for him.
What is that?
I haven't seen Woo Joo laugh like that for a while.
Are things still awkward between you and Woo Joo?
That little girl must've been shocked.
She heard that I'm a murderer.
Now that everything happened,
just tell her that you're her biological mother.
Then she might want to trust you a little.
No.
What's more important is for her to get better...
before I ask her to trust me.
I'll save her life first, then tell her later.
Later? When?
I heard this surgery is very tough...
on the day of the ethics committee.
What if something bad happens to you?
No way.
And I promised Ji Min...
that I'll save Woo Joo and live through it myself.
Come on, Mi Jin. There are so many things I want to do.
And when the surgery is finished,
I'm going to introduce myself...
to Ji Min's parents without telling them any lies.
And I'm going to go on a trip with Woo Joo and Ji Min too.
I haven't gone on my honeymoon trip yet.
I need to go...
to Woo Joo's school entrance and graduation ceremonies,
wake up with her every single day,
and even sleep by her side.
In order to do that,
I have to live.
You have purchased over 20 pieces of Artist Kim Hyang Gi's works...
just in the last year.
So?
She isn't an artist who gets a lot of attention in the industry.
Why have you been buying her works at a high price?
I caught her potential as an artist...
and made an investment.
Yet you left such valuable pieces...
just sitting around in a storage?
And it costs about one million dollars.
I didn't know about that.
I believed the keeper would take good care of them.
Actually, I found a new keeper after the news report.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Isn't it that you just neglected them...
because they were for your slush fund?
I understand that you can take it the wrong way.
But I really didn't know about it.
And yet, it was my mistake.
But I still don't think it requires a prosecution investigation.
I spent my own money to buy the paintings.
Do I have to put up with this insult...
for neglecting them?
It wasn't your personal money.
All the paintings you've bought...
are in the name of D.O Art Center.
I just want to share valuable artworks with others.
What's wrong about that?
Have you even met with Kim Hyang Gi before?
No.
Do I have to meet the painter just to buy her paintings?
As I was saying,
she's just a painter whom I sponsor.
Go ahead and make a call.
The person you have reached is not available.
- Transferring to voicemail. - Darn it. This is urgent.
Why isn't she answering her phone?
The person you have reached is not available.
- Transferring to voicemail. - Darn it.
You will be charged after the tone.
This is Hwang speaking.
The thing is, something's come up.
And I'm at the police station now.
Can you please send someone...
to get me out of here?
I'll wait.
I don't think Kim Ho Ran will come clean.
Why not?
Prosecutor Park says she's very shrewd.
He checked all her accounts,
but he couldn't trace the flow of the money.
Are you saying it wasn't for money laundering?
Yes. Kim Hyang Gi got all the money.
- What about Kim Hyang Gi's account? - They tried to trace it.
But the money went from an US bank to a Vietnamese bank,
so it's not easy to track it.
It might be buried just like this.
Okay. Bye.
Ji Min.
- You're here. - What's the matter?
Where were you off to in such a rush?
The suspect in Yoon Sang Kyu's murder case is caught.
Really?
But he wouldn't talk.
So they couldn't even request a warrant yet.
What's all this?
These are the suspect's possessions found in his bag.
I was checking them just in case.
What is it?
Gosh.
I can finally breathe now.
Chairwoman Kim.
Thank you so much.
Chairwoman Kim wants to see you.
Why are you pulling over here?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Do you think Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran can save you?
Gosh, what's with this jerk?
Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran of D.O Cosmetics...
was summoned to the prosecutor's office yesterday,
and she's being questioned by prosecution for over 20 hours.
I apologize.
How much money can you make a day in gambling?
You don't seem to be that well off.
I wonder how you could afford an expensive watch like this.
What? Do you think I can't afford things like that?
You didn't buy it.
Did you not know?
They keep a record of purchasers for a high-priced watch like this.
There are only three people who own this watch in this country.
So I checked the record...
to see if you bought this watch yourself.
And do you know whose name showed up?
Jeon Gi Bum.
Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's son...
who was stabbed to death by his wife 10 years ago.
That Jeon Gi Bum.
It wasn't me.
It's you, isn't it?
Do you remember me?
Unit 803 of Line Studio Apartment.
It's you, right?
When I passed out,
you put the knife in my hand...
to frame me for murder.
Jeon Gi Bum...
You killed him, right?
No, I didn't kill him.
What about the watch then?
He was wearing the watch that night.
Why do you have the watch?
You killed both Yoon Sang Kyu and Jeon Gi Bum.
You did it all.
I didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum.
So you killed Yoon Sang Kyu, but not Jeon Gi Bum?
You can't keep denying it. If we find evidence,
you will end up with a heavier punishment.
It's not too late to cooperate with the investigation.
Then I'll help you get your sentences commuted.
You still don't want to talk.
Fine.
It's all over for you anyway.
You killed Yoon Sang Kyu...
and Jeon Gi Bum.
I'll make you pay for your sin.
Wait.
Wait a second.
It was a mistake.
I was...
going to steal his document and leave.
But he saw my face.
I didn't mean to kill him.
But I really didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum.
Then how will you explain the watch?
Tell me.
That's...
because I was at the scene that day.
Something came up that day,
so I arrived a little late.
When I got there, the whole thing had already happened.
So I just took the watch and left.
- Do you expect me to believe that? - I'm serious.
Why did you go there?
You went there to kill Jeon Gi Bum, you jerk!
I said I didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum!
You arrived a little late.
That's what you just said.
You were a little late that day.
So you were abetted by someone...
and you were suppose to kill Jeon Gi Bum at a certain time.
Am I right?
Do you want to be arrested for the murder of...
both Yoon Sang Kyu and Jeon Gi Bum?
Or do you want to prove to us that you didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum...
and be charged with manslaughter over Yoon Sang Kyu's death?
PAWNSHOP
Is this the one?
- It's me, Hwang. - Yes, Chairwoman.
Is today the day?
Hwang?
He was arrested for gambling.
And I think Kang Ji Min caught on to something.
Today is the day.
So?
He confessed most of it.
It's unit 803, Line Studio Apartment.
How much did he tell?
He told them that he killed Yoon Sang Kyu by mistake...
and that he didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum.
He dared to mention your name.
Make it clean.
It should be a perfect crime.
I'll do everything in my power to stop him.
Make sure it looks like my daughter-in-law is the killer.
So this was it? The secret that you've been trying to hide.
Or is there more that you want to hide?
He confessed most of it.
He told them that he killed Yoon Sang Kyu by mistake...
and that he didn't kill Jeon Gi Bum.
Even if you wish to back out now,
I will go through with it until the end.
He dared to mention your name.
I'll do everything in my power to stop him.
Whatever that is, this is only the beginning,
Chairwoman Kim.
PUBLIC SAFETY, PUBLIC HAPPINESS
How did it go?
It's Chairwoman Kim’s arrest warrant for instigating murder.
Let's go.
I want to turn myself in.
I hired someone to kill a man.
You are under arrest for instigating the murder of...
Jeon Gi Bum and Yoon Sang Kyu.
You have the right to remain silent and to an attorney.
Anything you say can be used against you...
Breaking news.
Chairwoman Kim of D.O Cosmetics turned herself in to the police...
for instigating the murder of...
the former vice president Jeon Gi Bum.
The murder of Jeon Gi Bum isn't the only case she's related to.
Two months ago, a man in his 50s threw himself off the roof.
But it turned out that she was responsible for his death as well.
The police arrested Mr. Hwang...
who was hired by Chairwoman Kim.
And it seems this put pressure on her...
to turn herself in.
Look. Chairwoman Kim hired someone to kill her son.
So her daughter-in-law was framed?
It looks like she will be sentenced to over 10 years in prison.
She's been the most respected mentor among university students.
She was also known as a CEO with integrity and honesty.
She even appeared on a television show a few days ago...
to say that she had suffered very much to overcome...
after the death of former Vice President Jeon Gi Bum.
This is shocking news for everyone...
since many people had sent their condolences and support to her.
The police announced that...
they will confirm the facts before they decide...
whether or not to request an arrest warrant for Chairwoman Kim.
We'll be back with more information...
when the investigation ends.
This is a warrant of arrest. Come with us.
Make it clean.
Make sure it looks like my daughter-in-law is the killer.
It should be a perfect crime.
This is your voice, isn't it?
We even found the burner phone you used to talk to Hwang...
in your office.
Now it's your turn to talk, Ms. Kim Ho Ran.
- Hey. - You're here.
She only wants to talk to someone who's involved in this.
Are you trying to lie to me again?
Why did you want to talk to me?
I ordered him to do it.
To kill Yoon Sang Kyu.
And Gi Bum too.
I told him to kill both.
Hwang killed both of them.
Why?
Because they both fell short of my expectations.
I see why you wanted Yoon Sang Kyu dead.
But your son?
He wasn't your biological son, but how could you?
It was for his own good.
I told you not to talk back at me.
Come here. Come here!
I told you not to do anything!
Come here.
Come here!
Just don't do anything. I told you not to, didn't I?
- Didn't I? - Please.
Mom.
We relied on each other all those years.
So what went wrong?
Mom.
Mom, please help me.
Help me.
Mom, I'm so scared.
Dad is standing right there. He's looking at me.
You fool. Just forget everything.
Stand up!
I'm scared!
I'm scared. Please...
Please don't give up on me.
Please. Please don't give up on me.
Mom...
He...
had been awfully sick.
He didn't go a day without drinking and taking drugs.
He was in such bad condition that there was nothing I could do.
Then he ended up...
using the company's fund to pay for his drugs.
That's when I realized...
the Gi Bum I loved had died long ago.
I couldn't let him take charge of D.O Group.
I put out my life to build up D.O Group.
I couldn't bear to see it collapse...
in his hands.
Even so, how could you kill your son?
I wanted to end his painful life.
Why did you kill your husband?
I didn't kill him.
People call me...
the murderer who killed Vice President Jeon Gi Bum.
But...
I did not kill my husband.
I promise.
That I'm not such a person.
I'll do everything I can...
to show you that it's true.
I'll be sure...
to keep my promise.
Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran shocked the world...
by revealing the instigation of her son's murder,
then she confessed everything she has done.
She let a contract killer who's known as Hwang know...
the whereabouts of Vice President Jeon,
then dreamed of committing a perfect crime...
by putting the blame on her daughter-in-law.
Isn't she that woman who was always on TV for doing good stuff?
Tell me about it.
I feel so bad for her daughter-in-law.
- Goodness. - She stated that she did this...
to prevent the collapse of her company.
We were about to go to the hospital.
- Yes. - What brings you here?
I have something to tell you.
- What? - What?
JI DONG RI
Dad.
Are you watching me from there?
Your daughter...
has been found innocent.
I can...
now stand confidently...
before my Woo Joo.
EUN SE MI HAS SENT YOU A PHOTO.
This is Eun Se Mi.
I'm sorry for everything.
And I thought...
I should let you know how Woo Joo feels.
Goodness.
Things must've been very tough.
- Come on in. - My gosh.
Woo Joo.
Your teacher...
has been cleared of her false charges.
Yes, you watched the news too, didn't you?
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be sorry.
Because I...
misunderstood you...
and...
hated you.
No, I'm sorry.
I shocked you...
and broke your heart.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, when will she tell her that she's her biological mother?
Eun Su told us not to tell her.
She doesn't want Woo Joo to be shocked before her surgery.
She's right.
It'll be shocking to find out that woman is her mom,
but she'll also be shocked that Ji Min isn't her real dad.
Stop calling her "that woman." She's your sister-in-law.
What?
Doctor, have you found anyone yet?
Please, I ask of you.
Please find another donor before the day of the surgery.
Thank you.
Did you pick one?
Which do you think is prettier? This one...
or this one?
You are.
What? I'm only stating the obvious.
Gosh, I'm sorry.
I'll come back next time. I'm sorry.
- I'll take both. - Sure.
Even when I take another step.
I still long for you in the same distance.
I hope my feelings won't grow tired.
And begin to hate you.
I have no choice but to long for you again and again.
In my sad love.
How much more do I have to be in pain.
To hold onto you?
When did you prepare all this?
Mi Jin helped me with this.
To congratulate you.
Are you serious? Is this the wine we made that day?
Yes.
I know a thing or two about wine,
but this is the best wine I've ever had.
Thank you.
I didn't understand...
why I had to go through all the thorny paths.
I guess it was to reach this road full of flowers.
If it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have come this far.
One moment.
FAMILY RELATION CERTIFICATE
JI EUN SU, KANG JI MIN, KANG WOO JOO
We're a family now.
FAMILY RELATION CERTIFICATE
Eun Su.
Give me your left hand.
You need to put this on my finger.
Kang Ji Min has turned his life around!
What was that?
You got blamed for messing with Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.
You even had to give up your show.
And you were put under pressure to keep quiet by the higher-ups.
You've got through all the hardships. And look at you.
Everyone is full of praise for your professional attitude.
You're the best.
Reporter Park deserves all the praise.
Is Ms. Ji Eun Su happy about it?
- Sure. - Congratulations.
Good luck!
Get back to work.
Hello, Eun Su.
Actually, I was going to be there today.
Let me see.
Come on in.
Hello, Woo Joo.
I know you.
You presented the prizes at the art contest.
Gosh, Woo Joo. You have such a good memory.
Do you know him, Ms. Ji?
I've known him since when I was little.
You must know what she looked like when she was little.
Sure.
She was really pretty.
- Like you. - What?
She looked just like you.
That's amazing.
Here. This is for you.
I hope you will get better soon.
Thank you.
Congratulations on clearing your name.
Now I wouldn't ask for anything more in my life...
as long as Woo Joo is healthy.
When is the operation?
The end of this month.
I'll come again.
Mr. Ji.
You must be happy.
JI DONG RI
I will take you to a place...
that's closer to us.
Woo Joo, I'll be right there. Wait a little more.
I'll see you then. Bye.
IS 6049 THE 4TH ROOM ON THE 6TH FLOOR?
What do you want?
I have something to tell you.
- We should take out 6049, right? - What?
- I said 6049. - I see.
Excuse me. About the number you just mentioned.
What is it?
You mean No. 049 in Row 6?
It's the number of the urn placed in here. What about it?
JI DONG RI
Is this it?
I apologize for what I've done.
I had to do as I was told.
What is it that you want to tell me?
Actually,
I need to tell you something...
about what happened 10 years ago.
What is it that you want to tell me about what happened 10 years ago?
Do you...
know something?
Well...
Actually...
LIE AFTER LIE
Why me?
Why did you do this to me?
Because you lied to me.
Your lie made me come this far.
I thought you were on my side, but you betrayed me.
Mom, Mom, Mom.
I'm scared. I'm scared. Please help me.
You're still lying.
It's your fault! It's because you lied!
This is a chance for us.
You shouldn't be so relieved. Because it isn't over yet.
She signed off on organ and body donation.
Dad.
I'm going to stay right here to keep you safe.
I'm going to be with you the whole time.
So you don't have to be afraid.
I was lucky enough to be with you and Woo Joo.
That means I already had a miracle.
So don't grieve for me even if anything happens.
I love you.
