(Episode 118)
(Shine International)
Don't.
Mr. Hwang. I'm not doing this to clear my father's name.
You deserve compensation for what he did to you.
You didn't suffer for 15 years to do this.
This isn't why you waited 15 years.
This won't be compensation or revenge.
Siding with Do Hyun will only create another Chi Hwan.
You suffered under Mr. Kang for 15 years,
and now you're helping create another monster.
Don't you think that's just pointless and sad?
You're being such a nuisance.
What did I do that you got in my way?
Step aside. I have to be somewhere.
Get out of my way.
Hwang Tae Yong.
You chose Do Hyun?
(Senior Executive VP Moon Do Hyun)
Mr. Hwang.
You're right on time.
I take being on time very seriously.
Where's the cash?
Have a look.
You're not messing with me, are you?
I've been duped many times, so I'm quite suspicious.
I wouldn't dare.
You'll keep your side of the bargain, right?
You needn't even ask.
Here's your lifeline.
- And the original? - What do you take me for?
I gave up a lot for this.
Use that wisely,
and from now on...
Watch out for hidden cameras.
Thanks for the advice.
Then adios.
See you later.
We'll never meet again.
Mr. Hwang chose the money after all.
Yes.
I guess I'd had my hopes up.
I feel let down.
Hello, Mr. Cho.
What? A live broadcast to look for him?
(Yoon Sol: Hwang chose Do Hyun.)
My word. What's this?
Chi Hwan's mini-me acts just like his namesake.
I should eliminate that punk.
Let's do this!
Mr. Cho.
Hello, Ms. Yoon.
Why are you suddenly doing a live broadcast?
The trailer got quite a lot of interest,
and as soon as word got out that Kang escaped from lockup,
I got orders from the boss.
We'll run a one-hour live special...
and ask for tips on Kang Chi Hwan's whereabouts.
- You'll ask for tips? - Yes.
We're going to interview people related to the case as well,
so I called everyone with some kind of connection.
But the cabin fire is the only case Kang Chi Hwan was...
actively responsible for,
and we don't yet know the truth behind Chairman Jeon's death.
If you were to broadcast a live show...
I get how you feel about it, but we already have the police on board.
If this were to lead to his arrest, that would be a good thing.
But Mr. Cho...
Sorry. I'm extremely busy right now.
If you have any questions, go to my assistant producer.
Bye.
Mr. Cho!
Sol.
We can't let this happen.
It'll be way more aggressive than what we filmed before.
A live broadcast asking for tips...
The TV station would want to use this to its advantage.
If this airs as planned,
my father will be branded a serial killer.
And Do Hyun will no longer be a suspect.
Don't worry. He can't pull that off.
- Do you think so? - Listen.
Kang Chi Hwan... Mr. Kang.
He ended up like this...
because he covered up one crime with another.
Do Hyun's crimes will come to light eventually.
If he were to see the show, I hope he'd call to explain himself.
Where could he be?
Do you think...
he's even alive?
This is Soon Young.
She is the girl who painted your face on my wall.
Her presence lit up the whole village.
She had a lovely smile and was bright like the sun.
Thanks to her, I talked to you every single day.
That's why I'm still around.
Or I'd have gone long ago.
If only she were still alive.
Like you.
Soon Young. My son Hyeok is back.
Hyeok, you should say thank you.
I helped her give birth to her daughter.
I don't even know if her kid's alive or not.
When she was in her mother's womb, she didn't know her father,
Then, she lost her mom the day she was born.
What kind of karma is that?
(Exploring Cases)
(A treacherous murderer)
(A lowly hypocrite)
He deserves to die.
Isn't this him?
Look. It's him, isn't it?
Hey, it is. Han, come over here.
- Take a look. - Isn't this him?
Goodness. It is him.
My word.
It's him. It is him.
- Ms. Song. - What?
That Kim guy. Is he still with you?
Who's Kim?
Hyeok. Is he still around or not?
Just say yes or no.
Why are you asking for my son?
Murder? Don't be stupid.
My Hyeok's such a good boy.
He was so smart. He always came first in his year.
I ran out of room on the wall to put up his certificates.
That's what a good boy he was.
Ma'am, this isn't safe. Will you please cooperate?
As if I'd cooperate.
What? A good son who cares so much for his mom...
set fire to some place and killed his father-in-law?
That's nonsense.
Even a moron would see through that story.
Will you stop it?
Where did he go?
He went to the market to get me new shoes.
That's how sweet a boy Hyeok is.
He's not sweet.
They say he's the worst kind of monster.
He set a fire and killed someone, then he poisoned his father-in-law.
He's a serial killer.
You can't go saying stuff like that. Don't you call my son that.
If he's not arrested now, he'll bring our whole village down.
Tell the truth already.
You could end up dead too!
A whole load of fools are here...
to take away a son who came to be with his mom.
Are you trying to rip a family apart?
You good-for-nothing punks.
Who do you think you are to do this to us?
I can't live without my son.
I'd rather you kill me first. Kill me and then take my son!
I apologize for the sudden call.
We didn't expect Mr. Kang to escape,
and that led to us having to do a live broadcast.
Your faces will be blurred and your voices altered.
I promise your identities will be kept secret.
Not all of you will be asked to come on stage.
I'd be grateful if you follow our instructions...
as things go on.
What on earth is going on? Is everything okay?
Don't worry too much. It'll all be fine.
Do Hyun won't get into trouble, will he?
That's what I'm worried about.
Don't worry, Mom. The truth will come out today.
Do Hyun. Are you sure it'll be okay?
I feel so uneasy.
Think of the questions they asked us before.
Don't worry. Today's show isn't about us.
Still, those people kept coming after us.
Are you sure we'll be okay?
(Exploring Cases)
Just do as I say.
We'll say you started the fire by mistake,
and Kang Chi Hwan destroyed the evidence to cover his tracks.
Oh, okay.
We won't be the ones to be judged today.
It'll be Kang Chi Hwan.
You should've reported to me as soon as the deed was done.
How did things go yesterday?
It went well.
Good job.
The tragedy began 28 years ago.
Kang Chi Hwan's mother died...
in the Youngchoon Market fire,
and he vowed to make Mujeong Construction's Chairman Jeon pay.
(Exploring Cases)
(The two-faced rich son-in-law, Part 1)
To marry the chairman's only daughter,
Kang framed the late stage director Yoon Yi Chang for doing drugs...
and sent him to prison.
In the process,
he even killed the woman he loved who was pregnant with his child.
(Lee Soon Young)
"Lee Soon Young?"
(Lee Soon Young)
(Pregnancy Diary)
(The greatest gift of my life, Hae In)
We and our baby can be poor but happy.
This baby is a symbol of our love.
Get rid of it!
It's over between us.
This isn't the real you. Why are you so cruel?
Get rid of the baby.
Don't do this.
I told you to get rid of it.
This is the last time I'm nice about it.
Next time, even I don't know what I'll do.
(The greatest gift of my life, Hae In)
Thank you.
Hyeok.
Wherever you go, eat on time and look after yourself.
Whatever others say, you're my precious son, all right?
In order to be successful,
Kang Chi Hwan stopped at nothing to get to his final target,
who was his father-in-law, the late Chairman Jeon Sang Chul.
Jeon was found dead in his room on September 30.
His cause of death was shock induced by a sleeping aid overdose.
Autopsy results showed...
the same substance was used in the fire that killed Yoon Yi Chang.
Is that a coincidence?
Someone who worked closely with Kang...
told us something shocking.
Let's welcome him to the studio.
Excuse me.
We're broadcasting live, so I need to take your phone.
(Exploring Cases)
What was the relationship like...
between Kang and his late father-in-law?
To put it simply, they were like a master and slave.
The late chairman never acknowledged Kang as a son-in-law.
He was verbally abusive and said Kang wasn't worthy of his family.
Insult and disdain was an everyday thing.
Right before the murder,
the chairman had stripped Kang of his VP title,
kicked him out of the house,
and his wife had demanded a divorce.
Kang practically worked his way into the son-in-law position,
and he must've been in despair.
Yes.
Shortly before he was killed,
the chairman was attacked once at his favorite hunting ground,
and he was admitted to a hospital in a coma.
Give me Hwang Tae Yong's number.
Do you think Kang had a motive to murder the chairman?
Yes.
I gave police evidence I got from an anonymous source.
When his first murder attempt in the hunting ground failed,
I think he went back to a method he was familiar with.
This photo.
Was it actually taken on site and not a forgery?
Right.
I couldn't believe it myself.
To reveal the truth,
I came here today with a heavy heart.
Thank you for making the tough call.
Mr. Hwang? Hello, it's Kang Se Na.
You took Do Hyun's money yesterday.
What? Oh, so what?
Are you watching him on TV right now?
You're asking if I'm watching him on TV?
Don't you wonder what'll happen after the show ends?
Do Hyun is much younger and smarter than Kang Chi Hwan.
Jeon Sang Chul and Kang Chi Hwan are gone,
and his future is as smooth as a highway with no obstacles.
But you happen to know all his dirty secrets.
Do you think he'll leave you alone?
By the way, the thugs who raided your office.
Do Hyun sent them. You didn't know that, did you?
Another 15 years in a psych ward.
Avoid it if you can.
Se Na.
Go and tell your smart boyfriend...
that he acted like the thug first.
Siding with Do Hyun will only create another Chi Hwan.
You suffered under Mr. Kang for 15 years,
and now you're helping create another monster.
Don't you think that's just pointless and sad?
Right.
I can't help create Kang Chi Hwan number two.
Ho Bbang.
Do it.
Yes, boss.
Mr. Moon, you were the lead prosecutor on the cabin fire case four years ago.
Are you aware there's suspicion you faked details...
and tampered with evidence to frame Yoon Sol and make her guilty?
Yes, I am.
And it's utterly understandable that people are mistaken.
They're mistaken?
Can you tell me what they're mistaken about?
The cabin fire was a meticulous plan...
that Kang Chi Hwan set up on his own.
His only daughter got dragged into it,
and that led to the tampering of many pieces of evidence.
As the lead prosecutor of the case,
I should've looked more carefully...
and double-checked to see if the evidence was contaminated.
It sounds like...
you're saying Kang tampered with the evidence. Is that true?
Yes.
I failed to notice the fabricated evidence,
and as Kang wanted,
I closed the case.
Why did you take a job...
as Shine's legal director afterward?
That was part of Kang's plan...
as he'd noticed during the trial how incompetent I was.
He used me completely.
(Viewer sent in a video)
Excuse me.
(Video about liquid sleeping aid)
We just received a shocking tip from a viewer.
It's a video about the liquid sleeping aid.
(Video, September 29, 2023, 9:05 p.m.)
What's that?
What did you buy on September 29?
It looks like some kind of drug. Is that right?
It's not. What are you saying? What drug?
Are you calling me a trafficker?
Mister.
What you just gave that guy called Moon Do Hyun.
Was it something good?
Look at you.
Are you an addict?
If you have something nice, I'd like some too.
Too bad. All I've got left is sleeping medication.
Sleeping medication?
But it looked like water.
It's a liquid sleeping aid that I barely got from Europe.
Even handsome men need it.
The seller clearly said...
"liquid sleeping aid."
Why did you purchase it?
I don't know about that.
The day before Chairman Jeon was killed,
around the time you can't provide an alibi,
you bought a vial of liquid sleeping aid and we have a video of it.
Is that a coincidence?
Even if I bought sleeping medication,
it does not prove I killed the chairman.
(We have proof!)
(Kang, Moon, liquid sleeping aid)
(Photos obtained!)
Our team managed to find a photo of the liquid sleeping aid...
found in the suspect Kang Chi Hwan's belongings.
Let's have a look.
(Evidence 1)
Why did he buy a liquid sleeping aid?
- Why? - Why?
He killed the chairman.
I didn't like his looks from the start.
It's the same container.
I zoomed in, and it's the same brand. Good luck.
Even at a glance, both containers look the same.
I'll ask you again.
Why did you buy the liquid sleeping aid?
I won't answer.
Moon Do Hyun.
You killed...
You killed my dad.
- Oh, dear. - Mi Kang!
Pull yourself together.
Mi Kang.
Mi Kang!
Mi Kang.
- Paramedics? - Are you okay?
I'm in an MBS waiting room.
- It can't be true. - Someone just fainted.
- Something's not right. - Please help.
My Do Hyun...
Mi Kang!
What should we do?
Mi Kang. Wake up.
Hello?
It's me.
I did things...
no human being...
should ever do.
I'm sorry.
Where are you?
I'm ashamed...
to be alive.
Hello?
Who was it?
What's wrong?
It was him.
What?
It was my father.
(Meant to be)
(Special thanks to Park Choong Sun.)
It wasn't you.
You told me you didn't do it.
I need you to come with me to the station.
I think that was him saying goodbye.
I should go to him, Jin Woo.
It wasn't me. Your husband Kang Chi Hwan killed him!
Shut your darn mouth.
Yi Chang. Please save Sol.
