(Episode 72)
What did you want to tell me?
Sun Hyuk. I'm getting engaged...
to Ms. Hwang.
What?
I'm going to use Ga Heun for my revenge.
What do you mean?
Say that again.
Do you need me to repeat it?
I need Ga Heun.
I need to get engaged to her...
in order to take Stepmom down.
Are you serious right now?
She isn't an object.
Why are you using her?
Why are you using her for your revenge?
Just hit me.
I deserve it, so hit me!
I said to hit me. Hit me!
You need to hit me...
so that I'll feel less guilty.
Mr. Oh.
It's not like you to do something so low.
Tell me why you're doing this.
I made a deal with Ji Na Hwang.
She agreed to save me from being fired.
I told you, we can stop it if we find the documents.
How could you make a deal like that regarding Ga Heun?
I had no choice.
Ji Na Hwang said she'd make sure...
I'm dismissed as president...
if I don't get engaged to Ms. Hwang.
What choice do I have?
Even still. How could you do this to me?
I know. I'm sorry.
But please trust me, Sun Hyuk.
This engagement is nothing more...
than an act.
You know better than anyone whether or not that's true.
Darn it!
(Ms. Ji Na Hwang)
Ha Jun and Ms. Hwang are getting engaged?
Yes, that's the plan.
So please cancel the vote to dismiss him.
He must explain how he used the two million dollars.
The higher up they are,
the stricter we must be about such matters.
You speak as if you're sure he was the one...
who spent that two million.
It's as if you wanted him to be entrapped.
What... What was that?
That's good.
Let's audit every executive while we're at it.
I have a feeling there will be someone else...
who will be caught as well.
I'll propose that myself.
No!
It'll all be confirmed...
if Ha Jun gathers the documents.
Then we'll cancel the vote and wait until then.
That would be best, right honey?
I proposed the vote, so I'll cancel it.
I plan to audit the executives later in the year.
Sure. That's good.
Regardless, I'm not pleased...
about the new local brand...
that you're launching.
I especially cannot condone creating problems like this...
immediately before the new brand...
enters the global market.
Since you were thinking of having Ms. Hwang...
get engaged to Ha Jun,
it's understandable that you were offended.
Have both of them...
agreed to the engagement?
Here they come.
I called them in together.
Ga Heun.
I was just about to tell the chairman...
that the two of you would be getting engaged.
Excuse me?
I'll explain everything.
What happened was...
Did you decide to use...
Ms. Geum's slush fund ledger for your revenge?
Yes. It was too valuable to use to cut a deal with her.
I'm sorry.
What deal did you make with my mom?
I did it because I need you for my revenge.
Ms. Hwang said if I didn't agree,
she would personally make sure I am dismissed.
And to be honest, I wanted to get engaged to you...
and beat Stepmom in this power struggle.
You should've told me though.
Fine.
Sorry for not telling you in advance.
I really am,
but our relationship is just for show anyway.
Our engagement won't be anything more than that.
Please give me some time.
You're rude.
I have nothing to say to you.
Doesn't what your daughter wants matter at all?
And what? A deal?
Is your daughter an object?
Mr. Cha. Watch your mouth.
I don't understand you at all.
How could you use Ga Heun to make a deal with Mr. Oh?
Mr. Oh and I chose to take the route that would be a win-win for us both.
And that was his engagement with Ga Heun.
A win-win?
And you use your daughter for that?
How fitting of a corporate predator.
Is Ga Heun really your daughter?
You couldn't use her in your negotiations if she...
Cha Sun Hyuk. I'm warning you.
Get out of Ga Heun's life.
I notified the press as instructed.
Finally,
I can take revenge for my husband's death 30 years ago.
Ms. Hwang.
Why don't you tell Miss Ga Heun about your plan...
to take revenge for your husband?
It may strain your relationship when she finds out later.
Ga Heun has already decided...
to leave me as Eun Jo.
Why should I tell her why I kept it from her?
- Still... - Today is the deadline...
for Ju Tae Sik to pay the Merchant of Venice, correct?
Yes, ma'am. He is hiding in his basement safe.
These are from the lawyer Baek Seung,
who's in prison.
He kept a detailed record of how Ju Tae Sik...
stole Ko Sang Man's house and mall.
I see.
I'll teach him what happens if you betray a friend's trust.
The merciless Merchant of Venice will teach him.
And...
I'll make him suffer everything that Ga Heun's family suffered.
How much longer must I stay here like this?
I'm hungry.
All I had were these vitamin drinks.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
What happened to me? It's all because of Hwang Chun Gil.
I should put these feelings, these emotions...
into a poem.
The path of no return.
I saw a shining oasis
Far off in the horizon
I stopped to rest for a while
And dipped my feet in
But oh dear
It was my doom
I thought it was a flowery path
But oh dear
It was the path of no return
I followed the flower's scent
That sent chills down my spine
Who am I?
Where am I?
Oh dear
It was the scent
Of incense behind a screen
Who is standing there
Dressed in black?
Oh dear
You were the grim reaper
The cold breeze
Flies through the air and pierces my heart
However, do not fret
The hand is swifter than the eye
Ju Tae Sik.
Where's my money?
I'm not Ju Tae Sik.
Don't mess with me!
Please have mercy, dear Merchant of Venice.
The thing is, I was scammed.
If... If you'd wait a little,
I'll pay you back with interest.
In other words, you can't give me my money.
What did I say I'd do?
Begin.
No. Wait.
Please have mercy. Please.
Please have mercy. Please?
What... Why am I here?
I said I'd take your flesh...
without spilling a drop of blood.
Do you really plan...
to freeze my arm and cut it off?
Things are so convenient now.
Please, ma'am. Please have mercy.
Look. If I sell my mall,
my house, and my land,
it'll be enough to pay back the seven million that I borrowed.
Fine, I'll take them in place of the principal.
I'll take just enough flesh to equal one month's interest.
What?
No! Please have mercy.
Look. If you'd give me a little more time,
I'll do whatever it takes to pay it back.
There is no mercy for he who betrays trust.
No. No, please.
Please don't cut off my hand.
I need to be able to feed myself!
You need to be able to feed yourself.
Yes.
Please. I'm begging you. Please.
Then...
apologize to Ko Sang Man's family.
What? Sang Man's family?
How do you know...
Sang Man?
I owe him a very big debt.
But you stole his entire fortune...
as soon as he died.
You fooled his naive wife.
Mr. Ko must've trusted you because you were a friend.
How could you betray him?
It's not like I wanted to do it.
Soon Jung was...
just so clueless.
I sent that family 100,000 dollars,
but you took that from them too.
You even threatened her,
saying Mr. Ko's debt collected interest on top of interest.
How... How did you know that?
If you want to feed yourself with that hand,
confess to Mr. Ko's family about everything you did to them...
in detail and beg for forgiveness.
What will you do?
Will you beg for forgiveness or lose your hand?
Darn it.
Mr. Wang.
Okay, I'll do it. Yes, I'll do it. Definitely.
I'll do it no matter what. No matter what!
I'll do as you say!
Ju Tae Sik said he'd confess to everything?
Okay.
I'll go with my mom.
How did it go?
Bo Mi. We got our house back.
Really?
Ms. Bae. Eun Gyul.
Misery's over. Happiness has come.
What? What do you mean?
I came because you said we needed to go somewhere.
Where are we going?
It's our house. Ga Heun, we got our house back, didn't we?
What do you mean?
How can we get it back?
Come with me.
You'll see.
Mommy. Ga Heun. Bo Mi.
Let's go get our house back.
Yes!
How do you know Ji Na Hwang?
That's not Ji Na Hwang, that's Hwang Chun Gil.
The person I borrowed seven million dollars from.
What?
Hey. She even knows everything about Sang Man.
She knows that I tricked Soon Jung...
to forfeit her inheritance and stole the family fortune.
She knows about it all.
How could she know that?
I don't know.
That's how she is. She knows everything.
She says she owes Sang Man a huge debt.
Se Rin. I guess people should live...
like Sang Man.
What happens to us now?
Will we lose this house?
Quiet.
Hey. The thieves were caught.
What? Eun Jo. You knew?
Why are they kneeling?
Ju Tae Sik. Apologize to Bae Soon Jung.
What? Why would he apologize to me?
Soon Jung.
I'm terribly sorry.
When Sang Man died,
I stole the 500,000 dollars in his bank account.
I tricked you because you were so clueless,
and I got you to forfeit your inheritance...
and stole your family's entire fortune.
What are you...
What is this all about?
Tell her everything. Don't leave anything out.
Also,
the 100,000 dollars that you received...
were from her.
I got greedy and took that too.
When I said Sang Man had a debt with interest on interest,
I was lying in order to keep you from leaving.
Is that... Is that true?
I had no idea.
I was your housekeeper...
and was grateful that you fed me.
You were deceiving me all this time?
How could a person do something so despicable?
You said you won the lottery.
But that was my husband's money that you stole?
Soon Jung.
Did you know, Se Rin?
You mistreated Eun Gyul and me, knowing that?
- How could you do that? - Soon Jung.
- Eun Jo was so good to you! - Soon Jung.
You called me a parasite...
for leeching off of you!
How could you say that after stealing...
my husband's entire fortune?
You two are the real parasites!
You two are monsters!
Honey. Honey... I'm so sorry.
We've been living like this because I was so stupid!
Mommy. Don't cry, Mommy.
We got our house back.
I'm sorry...
it took me so long.
Mommy.
Honey...
You two are lower than scum.
I want to do to you...
exactly as you did to Eun Gyul and his mom.
You should be grateful this is all we're doing.
Ga Heun, is this why...
Is this why...
You lived in luxury in this house for all those years...
without realizing this day would come.
Eun Jo.
You were hiding your real identity...
to get revenge on my dad, weren't you?
Se Rin.
You had evidence to prove the truth of my dad's death,
but you stayed quiet for five years.
Your dad will pay for that.
Be good to him while you can until then.
Don't cry, Dad.
Don't cry.
Se Rin.
What do we do now?
These are the eggs I borrowed from you until now.
I added more for interest.
Eun Gyul, Ga Heun, let's go inside.
Se Rin.
Where do we go now?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
- Se Rin. - Dad.
So you're saying...
Tae Sik had stolen Mr. Ko's fortune?
Yes, that's right. How many times are you going to ask?
This is just so shocking and unbelievable.
I'm just so happy, that's why.
So? Ga Heun's mom...
I mean, your boss...
got Soon Jung's house and fortune back for her.
Yes. Eun Gyul and his mom can be happy now.
My goodness gracious.
Things like this actually do happen. It's like a dream.
My gosh. That was so great of Ji Na Hwang.
Like mother, like daughter.
That must've been why Ga Heun was so good...
to Soon Jung and Eun Gyul all this time.
Hold on. I heard Ga Heun and Ha Jun...
are getting engaged.
There was a huge article about it.
Then what happens to Sun Hyuk?
This... This is wrong!
That's all an act.
Hey.
Why are you home?
You should've slept over since your mom got the house back.
I can't do that. You're here alone.
Mom.
Thank you...
for getting our house back for my family.
I didn't do it. You did.
You obtained one of the rewards of the revenge you planned...
with grit and determination for five years.
Don't forget.
I hope every aspect of your revenge comes true.
Anyway, I'm glad because you look...
very happy today.
I won't forget all that you did.
You are forever my mom.
You know that, right?
Thanks for saying that.
I want to be with you like this...
for years to come as well.
I know it's selfish of me, but I wish you wouldn't leave me.
(Ko Eun Jo? Fake Ga Heun is Hwang Ga Heun)
Why is Hwang Ga Heun living a fake life?
Who is she for real?
Something smells fishy.
Who knows?
Se Rin may stay loyal to you in prison.
I can't go back to prison.
Not after all I did to get Se Rin!
Exactly!
Don't say a peep about me.
Especially not to Ha Ra.
That's right. She didn't want Ha Ra to know...
who she was.
Is it because she might be exposed as a fake?
No, no. That doesn't explain it enough.
There's definitely more.
So... Ga Heun...
looks identical...
to my friend Eun Jo, who died.
Hwang Ga Heun and the dead Ko Eun Jo look identical?
Wait. Hwang Ga Heun is Ko Eun Jo.
Why did it take me this long to figure it out?
(Hwang Ga Heun is Ko Eun Jo!)
This is getting interesting.
The friend that they killed came back to life.
Se Rin and Ha Ra must be shaking in their boots.
("Hwaipeu's Hwang Ga Heun and Jewang's Oh Ha Jun")
Ga Heun, you're getting engaged to Ha Jun?
And it's as soon as he finds out what my mom did too.
This means they plan to take her down together.
Eun Jo. I wasn't the only target...
of your revenge.
You want to destroy both my mom and me.
I can't let you do that.
We need to talk.
Didn't you hear me?
Just because you're enemies with my mom,
you won't treat me like a sister either?
Forget treating you like my sister. I won't treat you like a person.
Ha Ra. Did you try to hurt Grandma?
What?
I'm restraining myself from killing you right this instant,
so don't mess with me.
Ha Jun. You're not the type to restrain yourself.
Why? Are you warming yourself up to get revenge...
on my mom and me?
That's right. I plan to destroy you and Stepmom...
in the most humiliating and degrading way possible.
That's all I think about all day.
Even when you play a game, you need to build it up nicely...
to mess them up big time.
I'll make sure...
you and your mom can't go anywhere without hiding your faces in shame.
So? Did you decide to get engaged to Ga Heun for your revenge?
Fine. Good luck with that.
Since you're with Ga Heun,
I'll try to make things work with my husband.
Thanks for that.
Ha Ra.
Congratulations on your divorce lawsuit.
My engagement to Ms. Hwang...
is just one big show.
It's my big move to kick you and your mom out of the family.
And your divorce from Sun Hyuk is a reality.
Chairman Han.
Master Ha Jun and Ga Heun are getting engaged.
It's all over the news.
Aren't you happy?
Finally, some good news.
Based on my 30 years of experience working for you,
the tigress in the finance industry,
this isn't just an engagement.
No matter how hard Geum tries to get rid of Master Ha Jun,
he has the mighty Hwang Ga Heun backing him now,
which means he has the global Hwaipeu Fund...
backing him like an indestructible iron fort.
That's right.
Now, it'll just be a matter of time before Master Ha Jun...
and Ga Heun join hands and kick out Geum and her daughter.
You don't have to worry about Master Ha Jun anymore.
I can die a happy woman now.
No, you can't die.
You have to see them get married,
and you have to meet your great-grandchildren.
Above all, you have to see Geum and her daughter get kicked out...
and Master Ha Jun become chairman.
In light of that...
You need to be healthy.
I have to watch that evil witch walk out of here...
with my own eyes.
Oh my gosh. Chairman Han.
Hearing the good news about Master Ha Jun...
must have given you energy.
My gosh. Goodness.
There's definitely more going on.
She seems troubled because of it.
Why won't she tell me?
Why?
Sun Hyuk.
You haven't heard yet, right?
I have huge happy news.
Really? By the way, where are Eun Gyul and Mother?
Did they go somewhere?
That's the huge happy news.
They went back to their house.
You don't have to go through with the complaint...
about Se Rin's dad.
No. He needs to be punished more, so should we do it?
What do you mean?
Are you saying Mother and Eun Gyul went back to that house?
Yes. My boss got their house back for them.
Do you know what happened?
Se Rin's dad stole Eun Jo's dad's money when he passed,
and he forced her clueless mom to forfeit her inheritance...
and stole their entire fortune.
Are you sure?
It's shocking, right?
I was livid when I first heard.
Anyway, Ms. Hwang and Ga Heun...
punished Se Rin's dad and got the house back for them.
The mall and the entire fortune that Mr. Ko had made.
Isn't that awesome?
Their entire fortune?
That's great, but why?
Why did Ji Na Hwang do that?
What's her relationship with Eun Jo's family?
Well... So, the thing is...
That's right.
Ms. Hwang says she owed Eun Jo's dad...
for something really huge a long time ago.
She said she got it back for them to repay him.
She knew Eun Jo's father?
Does that mean Ga Heun knew him too?
What? Well... Maybe.
Bo Mi. Did Ga Heun tell you something else?
Like what?
What could be bigger than what happened today?
Mom's done setting the table.
Come out so we can eat.
Hey, Chang Seok. Did you look into what I asked?
Yes. I just texted you the address.
Okay, thanks.
(Reform Private Detective)
(Personal Loans, Credit Cards)
The person you have reached...
Darn it.
Why won't Father answer his phone?
Why did he suddenly close the mall for renovations?
Darn it.
Wook Do. Why are you coming in so late?
What brings you here so early?
(Reform)
Are you even looking for the real Ga Heun?
Why haven't you reported in yet?
It's not that easy to find someone.
Then when can you find her?
I'll find her when I find her.
But you need to give me better intel...
for me to find her sooner.
What nonsense is that?
Are you saying I gave you the wrong intel?
That's right. You gave me the wrong intel,
so I used my brain to come to a conclusion.
Want to hear it?
What conclusion?
Hwang Ga Heun is...
Ko Eun Jo, whom you killed five years ago,
isn't she?
What nonsense is that?
What do you mean, she's Eun Jo?
(Hwang Ga Heun is Ko Eun Jo!)
I'm right! Ko Eun Jo!
Why are you talking about Eun Jo?
Why are you two talking about Eun Jo?
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
My life is over if Sun Hyuk finds out.
Do something about him.
I'll take care of everything.
Don't touch Sun Hyuk. Got that?
Don't you dare touch him!
I won't let anyone get in my way. I don't care who it is.
I'll get rid of them all.
How is she? Is she responding at all?
I'm sorry, but I don't see any hope right now.
What is this? "Hwang Ga Heun is Ko Eun Jo."
I shouldn't have given up back then.
What did you give up on?
Ga Heun is Sun Hyuk's late first love?
