(Episode 116)
Mom, Mr. Kang just left.
He just left without saying goodbye?
Yes.
How could he just leave without waiting for me?
You punk.
Hey.
Hey...
- What's your father's name? - My dad?
His name is Park Tae Seob.
He was Pil Jeong's husband.
(Pil Jeong)
Hey, Pil Jeong.
Why did you leave without saying a word?
Something urgent came up.
I'm sorry.
I don't need to be worried, do I?
No.
I need to hang up now.
Once Ms. Oh finds out,
she won't be able to marry Suk Joon.
Suk Joon is innocent.
The culprit who killed her husband never got caught.
Do you really think Pil Jeong will be able to think he's innocent?
Does Suk Joon know about this?
Probably not.
That explains why he's still dating her.
Shouldn't we tell her?
What's the point of telling her when Suk Joon is innocent?
It'll only give her the wrong idea.
She'll find out sooner or later.
Suk Hwan, did you know that Park Tae Seob...
was Pil Jeong's husband? What about you, Mom?
We found out while looking for Min Ho.
We didn't say anything...
because we thought it would only create a commotion just like now.
How... How did you find out?
I saw his photo at Pil Jeong's house.
You had nothing to do with Park Tae Seob's death.
I was at the scene.
What would Pil Jeong think of me?
This is exactly why we were against you and Pil Jeong.
You went after Secretary Park because of me?
You were heading to the distribution center in Incheon.
And I overheard him saying he'll meet you there.
So I was worried something might happen to you.
Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I go there?
I have absolutely nothing to do with Secretary Park.
What do you want?
After the incident with Park Tae Seob,
you told me you had nothing to do with him.
But you trusted him with Min Ho.
That means you lied to me.
I clearly heard him ask you for money.
He used Min Ho to blackmail you, didn't he?
- What? - He blackmailed you...
and said he'll tell Dad about Min Ho, didn't he?
What are you talking about?
Are you trying to say I killed him?
You must've been pretty close...
seeing that you even trusted him with your own son.
You might not have killed him,
but I'm sure you know something about his death.
Are you writing a novel?
I went to the police station.
They still haven't found the culprit because there weren't any clues.
If you know anything about Park Tae Seob's death,
you should tell the cops.
That way, it'll help them catch the culprit.
I know nothing.
Then...
why did he ask you for money?
He didn't ask me for money!
You misheard him!
Back then, you told me the same thing.
But I don't believe you.
He left without saying anything, and he isn't even texting me back.
Do you think he's okay?
Yes, of course.
He might be having a hard time because of the articles.
But I'm sure he'll overcome that.
By the way, does Suk Joon know about your late husband?
- I told him. - I bet he was shocked.
Yes. After I heard what happened to Suk Joon,
I started feeling sorry for Tae Seob.
He wouldn't have been able to rest in peace.
You were busy living your life.
Plus, how can you catch the culprit when even the cops can't?
But still, I should've checked if the cops are still investigating.
But one day, he got murdered.
There were no witnesses.
So we still don't know who killed him.
When you were having a hard time because of what happened to you,
I was also going through a hard time because of my husband's death.
Our contract period isn't over yet.
You can't just cancel the advertisement.
You want to postpone the home shopping broadcast?
Is everything getting canceled?
The cable network wants to stop airing our advertisement.
People keep saying they feel uneasy about working with someone...
who was involved in a murder case.
This keeps happening even after we took down the article.
But where is the director?
He isn't here yet.
He still isn't here?
Did something happen to Suk Joon?
He suddenly left yesterday saying something urgent came up.
Is it because of the article?
He found out who the victim's family is.
Did the victim's family report it to the press?
Do they think he's the culprit?
How would you feel if you were the victim's family?
Wouldn't you be suspicious of Suk Joon?
He was framed.
And he got released for lack of evidence...
because he had nothing to do with that case.
Do you think the victim's family would also think that way?
It looks like you trust Suk Joon.
But I wonder how long that will last.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
How are things going with opening our store in Thailand?
We barely managed to convince them.
Fortunately, they didn't cancel the contract.
But they still wanted us to change the person in charge.
Why isn't Director Kang here?
I heard he didn't come to work.
We're losing money because of him.
He can't just not show up like this.
He's probably miserable right now.
How is he going to continue being a director?
We can't trust him to be the chairman.
I heard you found out who the victim's family is.
Don't try to bear with it all by yourself. Call me.
You didn't even go to work today. What do you plan to do?
I'm too scared to face Pil Jeong.
It wasn't your fault. You were also a victim.
I had a knife in my hand.
How am I going to explain that to her?
You don't need to tell her.
You're telling me not to tell her?
That's not going to help the cops catch the culprit.
It'll only make you guys have a hard time.
Do you think Ms. Oh will be able to look at you the same way?
Sometimes,
some things are better left unsaid.
Pil Jeong will find out one day.
Suk Joon's projects either got canceled,
or someone else took over.
He's not even the culprit.
Why are people reacting so sensitively?
Apparently, the victim's family might've reported it to the press.
Do you think they kept accusing him as the culprit?
In their eyes,
they probably think of the suspect as the murderer.
Yes, probably.
There was also a suspect when my late husband died.
And I also thought the same thing when I heard the suspect...
got released due to lack of evidence.
I'm worried about Suk Joon.
Gosh, why do I crave sujebi so much?
I put the curtain in the laundry basket.
If you hang it out in the sun, it'll dry really well.
"The curtain"?
You came home early today.
Tae Woo is busy working hard. Are you just going to take a break?
I'd love to wash it,
but my back hurts.
Then are you telling me to do it instead?
My back hurts more.
Then I'll go take it to the dry cleaner's.
What? Hey, wait! Where are you going?
Is she ignoring me now...
because Tae Woo keeps sticking up for her?
Don't you eat properly at Tae Woo's place?
I suddenly craved Pil Jeong's perilla seed sujebi.
Why did you come alone?
Tae Woo is going to come after work.
The smell of pizza made me feel sick,
but I feel so much better now.
It's nice and savory.
Where are the kids?
They're having fun in their room.
Is Tae Woo's mother mean to you?
She asked me to wash the curtain,
but I shouldn't be carrying anything heavy.
What? Who washes curtains at home these days?
What a horrible woman.
I know. She's horrible.
- My goodness. - I'm going to have one more bowl.
- I'm here. - Hey, welcome.
Tae Woo.
What do you think about our outfits?
They look nice. They look like matching outfits.
Pil Jeong designed these.
She gave them to us as gifts.
I didn't know Pil Jeong knew how to design clothes.
It's comfortable. I wear it really often.
Thank you.
- Don't mention it. Have a seat. - Yes, sit down.
By the way, don't you think your mother is a bit too...
Dad.
Do you want more sujebi?
No, I'm good.
- Is there some left for me? - Of course. I'll get you a bowl.
What were you going to say about my mom earlier?
I was going to ask if she's mean to Soon Jeong.
I'm making sure she doesn't do that.
I like your attitude. You really are the best.
- You're pregnant, aren't you? - What?
No, I'm not.
You normally love pizza.
How could the smell of pizza make you feel sick?
And I bet you craved sujebi because you're pregnant.
Yes, I'm pregnant.
I really can't fool you.
But why do you look so down?
I signed a premarital agreement and promised Tae Woo's mother...
that I won't get pregnant for a year.
You signed a premarital agreement?
I can't believe it.
No, don't get me wrong. I only signed it...
because I didn't plan on getting pregnant before marriage.
Does Tae Woo know?
He doesn't know you're pregnant, does he?
Let me think about it before I tell him.
I don't know what was written on that premarital agreement.
But don't think of doing anything absurd, okay?
Okay.
I can't believe Pil Jeong was the victim's wife.
How is this possible?
I don't know how I'm going to face Pil Jeong.
This is all because the culprit didn't get caught.
I was going to look into the case...
so I can confidently face Pil Jeong.
But I'm worried...
she might hate and resent me if she ever finds out.
She trusts you.
Her husband got murdered. It's not that simple.
Don't think of it too negatively.
This is causing a lot of damage to the company, isn't it?
The advertisement for the cable network...
and the home shopping broadcast all got delayed.
And as for our business in Thailand,
you were removed from the team, and Ms. Lee took your place.
Are you going to tell Ms. Oh?
I should tell her, but I'm scared.
(Pil Jeong)
- Have a snack. - Okay.
Here.
Did you ask?
What?
Did you ask if Dad used to work at LX Group?
No. Your dad didn't work at LX.
My grandpa at Hannam-dong seemed pretty confident about it.
Can you check if there used to be...
an employee named Park Tae Seob in this company?
"Park Tae Seob"?
Yes, I think my husband used to work here,
and I'd like to double-check.
This is his personal information.
Okay, I'll call you after I check.
- Thank you. - No worries.
You became the chairman, so I figured I should pay a visit.
I'll be right upstairs.
Excuse me.
Where did I see that guy?
Come in.
I came to get a checkup,
and I thought I'd drop by since it's lunchtime.
Thank you. Have a seat.
How are you doing?
As you can see, I'm doing fine.
Did you hear about Ms. Oh?
I'm surrounded by informants, so I can't help but hear about her.
Then I'm guessing you also heard about Suk Joon.
Yes, I heard. Ms. Oh is there to support him,
so I'm sure he'll get through this.
He's struggling a lot more than expected.
I heard he didn't even come to work yesterday.
Really?
It's regarding a person's death, so I guess it's not easy on him.
I don't understand why they need to overcome so many hurdles.
We haven't seen any progress with Park Tae Seob's murder.
But recently, the suspect who got arrested back then...
came and asked if the culprit got caught.
Suk Joon.
Pil Jeong.
I'm sorry to tell you this.
But your incident reminded me...
of my late husband's death.
He died a wrongful death.
And I promised to find the culprit no matter what.
But I was too indifferent.
He was my husband, and I feel so bad.
Back then,
there was a suspect who got accused for murdering my husband.
Did you hear about the suspect?
I went to the police station to ask if he really killed my husband.
But he refused to meet me.
He also got released due to lack of evidence.
Back then, I thought it was absurd.
But after I heard what happened to you,
I started thinking...
he also might've been accused for something he didn't do.
Did you meet the victim's family?
I don't know what they said to you,
but don't let it get to you.
I'm sure they had no choice but to do what they did.
Hey.
- Pil Jeong, the thing is... - By the way,
the suspect who was accused for my husband's murder...
apparently asked the police if the culprit got caught.
Do you think he asked so he could clear his name?
We were worried about Mr. Ha for nothing.
Nothing is happening.
You're right.
Then who sent you that wallet?
Like you said,
it was probably one of the guys who took care of Mr. Ha's body.
I should ask someone to look into it.
It looks like Suk Joon has been...
going to the police station to look into the case.
He can keep trying, but that won't get his name cleared.
Regardless of what's going on,
Father will still support Suk Joon at the shareholders' meeting.
The major shareholders are all on my side.
It's too early to be at ease.
If your father supports Suk Joon,
he'll have just as many shares as you.
Then what should we do?
Richard Kim owns seven percent,
so we'll have the upper hand once we get him to side with us.
But didn't you say it's impossible to meet him?
I'm asking around to find a way.
Do everything you can to find Richard Kim.
Hey, Pil Jeong.
Do not worry
Let's sing together
Just bury all your painful memories
Deep down in your heart
What happened in the past
All happened for a reason
Let's sing together
And say we dreamt of our future with no regrets
Suk Joon.
Everything will be just fine, so don't worry too much.
Now, just let go of the past...
and come to work tomorrow, okay?
Pil Jeong.
Thank you.
I have something to tell you tomorrow.
I'll see you at work.
Do you think the director is going to skip work again?
I don't know.
People are more suspicious of him because he isn't coming to work.
He had nothing to do with that case.
Why are you getting angry at me?
Sorry.
Sir.
I'm sorry for worrying you guys.
Are you okay?
Yes. Give me the files regarding the advertisement cancelation.
I'll also try calling the home shopping company.
I'm glad you're back.
I'll talk to you tonight.
Okay.
(Lee Tae Bong, 39 years old,)
(Incheon Logistics Center Construction Site)
"Incheon Logistics Center Construction Site"?
This is from an unidentified number.
- Here's the file you asked for. - Thanks.
Are you okay now?
Yes.
Did you find a guy named Park Tae Seob?
Yes.
But I have to say, there are a lot of people asking me about him.
Recently, Ms. Lee Eun Ju...
also asked me to look into an employee named Park Tae Seob.
Ms. Lee Eun Ju?
Yes.
Is Park Tae Seob really your husband?
Yes.
I found one guy that matches the information you gave me.
Here's a copy.
Thank you.
I'm only giving you this because he's your husband.
Don't tell anyone I gave you this.
(Name: Park Tae Seob)
(Social Security Number: 760206-105772)
This is Tae Seob's social security number.
(Vice-chairperson's secretary)
He used to be the vice-chairperson's secretary?
My grandpa at Hannam-dong...
asked me Dad's name, so I told him.
And he told me his name sounds familiar.
He thinks he used to be my grandma's secretary.
The person who died was my mom's secretary.
By the way,
the suspect who was accused for my husband's murder...
apparently asked the police if the culprit got caught.
I went to check if they caught the culprit.
But they still don't know who it is.
(Qualifications: Driver's license, Data processing license)
I'm Park Tae Seob's wife.
Where is the culprit? I need to meet him.
He's still getting investigated, so please go back.
Where is the culprit? Where is he?
He won't want to meet you.
I can easily tell you guys are rich.
But how could you try to pay me to make up for my husband's death?
I told you we just want to help.
(LX Group Legal Team Manager, Kim Dae Geon)
I'm very sorry for your loss.
The cops are still investigating.
But we'll pay compensation and even cover the funeral expenses.
Excuse me.
He was the attorney that came to the funeral.
Recently, Ms. Lee Eun Ju...
also asked me to look into an employee named Park Tae Seob.
Does that mean Eun Ju also knows?
Don't you know how to knock?
I heard you asked HR about a guy named Park Tae Seob.
What about that?
My late husband's name was Park Tae Seob.
He worked here 13 years ago.
So you found out.
Does that mean the case that Suk Joon was involved in...
Yes, you guessed right.
What?
Suk Joon was the suspect of your late husband's murder case.
(Mom Has an Affair)
I told you, didn't I?
This is why I told you you guys can't be together.
I know what you're thinking, Pil Jeong.
To be honest, I'm really confused.
I don't know how to take this.
You're not thinking of doing anything absurd, right?
The chairman's wife and eldest son are both very suspicious.
Isn't this Lee Tae Bong's number?
He's in prison?
I'm going to catch the culprit no matter what.
