(Episode 6)
Why don't you visit Suk Joon and give him some side dishes?
The housekeeper does that for me.
He's studying very hard.
Can't you show him some support by going there yourself?
I'm busy.
Back when Suk Hwan studied for the bar exam,
you cooked new side dishes for him every single week.
That's because I wanted him to pass.
Then what about Suk Joon?
Suk Hwan.
I wanted Suk Hwan to pass the exam.
Must you be so selfish?
Don't expect too much from me.
What is your problem?
Mom, it's Mr. Ha.
- Answer the phone. - Okay.
How did it go?
I killed 2 birds with 1 stone, sir.
You killed 2 birds with 1 stone?
Mom, the skies must've helped.
You're right.
Mr. Ha does a great job, doesn't he?
It's as if he can read our minds.
Suk Joon went there?
Yes. What should I do, ma'am?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Kill Secretary Park...
and put the blame on Suk Joon.
Make sure Suk Hwan doesn't find out about this.
Okay, ma'am.
We just need to frame Suk Joon as the murderer now.
Suk Joon is going to go to prison...
for the murder of Secretary Park.
Once he goes to prison, he won't be able to take the bar,
and Dad will no longer favor him.
- Keep a straight face. - Okay.
And make sure you don't make any mistakes.
Of course.
But did Mr. Ha fail to find out the location of the orphanage?
That doesn't matter anymore now that Secretary Park is gone.
I guess you're right.
Hey.
(Hyeju Hospital)
Sir. Sir.
- Did you call his family? - No, his cell phone was broken.
- Get ready for surgery. Hurry. - Okay.
Mom.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Why were you with that guy?
Well...
Before you go home,
you need to tell us your name and a few other stuff.
Why?
He was at the scene of the accident.
You'll need to get investigated later on.
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.
Hey, do you think I'm crazy?
Why would I go there?
I have absolutely nothing to do with Secretary Park.
Park Tae Seob came to your office...
and blackmailed you for money.
What are you talking about? You're being weird.
I heard him loud and clear.
That guy just wanted compensation for giving up his land in Incheon.
But you mistook him for Secretary Park.
Suk Hwan's right. You totally got the wrong idea.
Why would he have anything to do with Secretary Park?
- But... - My gosh.
You just got yourself involved in Secretary Park's gang fight.
If your dad finds out about this, he'll be very worried.
So let's just keep it a secret.
Hello?
Yes, that's right.
He's at the hospital?
Are you Park Tae Seob's guardian?
Yes.
He had a cerebral hemorrhage, so we had him undergo surgery.
He also had severe abdominal bleeding...
due to the wound on his stomach.
Was it a car accident?
According to the cops, he was beaten up.
- He was beaten up? - We did surgery on him.
But he was in a severe condition.
So we can't guarantee if he'll live or not.
We'll have to hope for a miracle.
Honey.
(Intensive Care Unit)
Are you Mr. Park Tae Seob's guardian?
Yes, he's my husband.
Who did that to him?
We're still investigating.
Your husband was unconscious with another person...
at the scene of the accident.
Did he do this to him?
We're still trying to find out.
We're identifying the knife that was found at the scene.
Has your husband ever told you anything unusual?
He told me he's expecting to get paid.
From whom?
I don't know.
Okay, thank you.
If you remember anything, please call this number.
Thank you.
(Chairman Kang Tae Su)
Do you think you'll meet the sales goal...
for the first half of the year?
Yes.
I was worried because the economy isn't doing so well.
But fortunately, people seem to like our new brand.
You mean the golf apparel brand that you came up with?
Yes.
If you see an increase in sales, I'll give you a promotion.
Thank you.
Mom, Dad's going to give me a promotion.
You should've been promoted ages ago.
It's not good to get promoted too quickly.
Why did you want to see me as well?
Suk Hwan managed to settle with the residents in Incheon,
so I figured we should celebrate.
Thank you, Dad. Let's go.
Honey, can you hear me?
Please wake up.
Do... Do you recognize me?
I'm just glad you're awake. I'll bring your doctor.
Min Ho... Min Ho...
Min Ho? Do you want to see him?
He's not...
my son.
What are you talking about?
He's not... He's not my child.
Honey.
Honey! Honey!
Excuse me!
Doctor! Please help!
Over here!
What happened?
Check his vitals.
He's gone.
(Intensive Care Unit)
- Ms. Oh. - Pil Jeong.
Mom.
Min Ho. Min Ho.
What about your husband? Is he okay?
Where is he right now?
Is he in the OR?
My husband is dead.
Shall we order?
Let's wait until Suk Joon arrives.
You called Suk Joon?
I felt bad to leave him out.
That's good.
Park Tae Seob is dead.
Hey, you're here.
Suk Joon, what happened to your face? Did you get hurt?
No.
Did you fight with someone?
No, not exactly.
- What's going on? - Mr. Kang Suk Joon.
You're under arrest as the suspect of Park Tae Seob's murder.
You have the right to remain silent, and you may hire an attorney.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.
He died?
What... What are you talking about?
- Who died? - Secretary Park.
- What? - It wasn't me.
I was only trying to help him.
We found your fingerprints on the knife.
I know nothing about it.
Mom. Suk Hwan.
It wasn't me. It wasn't me!
What kind of nonsense is this?
I won't let you take him. Uncuff him right now!
This is an obstruction of justice, sir.
- Let's go. - Suk Joon!
Suk Joon! Suk Joon!
You punks! Which police station are you from?
So that's why you called him here?
You're the best, Mom.
I didn't stab him. I didn't hit him either.
We found your fingerprints on this knife.
I know nothing about it.
Do you expect us to believe that?
I swear.
Then why did you go after Park Tae Seob?
That's because...
I thought he blackmailed my brother for money.
Did he really blackmail him?
I checked with Kang Suk Hwan.
And he was never blackmailed.
My gosh.
This is slander. Someone is trying to frame him.
I want you to do everything you can to get him released.
They found his fingerprints on the knife, so it won't be easy.
I'll look into what I can do, but it might be better...
to settle with the victim's family just in case.
Why would we settle when Suk Joon is innocent?
Stop getting so worked up and calm down.
How do you expect me to calm down?
Honey, would you have acted the same way for Suk Hwan?
- What? - If it were Suk Hwan,
you would've treated him like a criminal...
and eventually cut ties with him.
Why would you bring that up in this situation?
Because you're being unreasonable.
They found evidence.
The police arrested him for a reason.
Are you saying Suk Joon actually killed someone?
The cops will figure that out.
I need to meet Suk Joon.
Sir, wait.
I don't think you should go to the police station.
What if the press cause a huge fuss about this?
Don't you care how devastating it will be to the company?
I'll go instead, sir.
Yes, get me the fastest ticket you can.
What's up?
Why are you going to England?
To meet a rich guy.
What's with that look on your face? Do I look pathetic to you?
Eun Ju, you're beautiful and competent.
You're already a gem.
Why do you keep trying to depend on a guy?
Don't get arrogant with me.
Live your life the way you want to. I'll live my life the way I want to.
I'll leave you guys to talk.
Did you have an affair with a married man?
Are the rumors true?
Did you quit because you got humiliated?
Is that why you're running away to England?
Gosh, no. That's not what it is.
Why would you date a married man? You're better than that.
Mom, please.
It meant nothing.
I'm sick of teaching.
I'm going to England so I could have a better life.
Eun Ju, do you promise?
Yes.
Thank you for coming.
This is the amount of money Park Tae Seob borrowed from us.
I'm sorry he passed away.
But we still need this money back.
Listen. Can't you see that she's still mourning?
That's why I'm being polite.
Who are you?
I'm an attorney working for the company.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
But Mr. Kang also needs to receive treatment for four weeks.
So I think both sides are to blame for what happened.
You think both sides are responsible?
Her husband got beaten up to death.
How could anyone beat someone up like that?
The cops are still investigating.
But we'll pay compensation and even cover the funeral expenses.
A person died.
Shouldn't the assailant come and ask for forgiveness?
I'm not going to settle.
If he's guilty, he should get punished for it.
The verdict hasn't been made yet.
We just heard you're not doing well financially.
So we figured we could help.
Call me if you change your mind.
If you're going to give your husband a proper funeral,
you'd better pay us back first.
Otherwise, we'll make sure his coffin stays here.
She doesn't have any money.
The guy who just came was willing to give you money.
Take the money and give it to us.
Get out right now.
Get out. Leave. Go!
We're not leaving until we get paid!
- This is nice. - Whatever. Let's just stay.
Darn it.
- What did she say? - She refused the offer.
But she's getting pressured by loan sharks.
So she'll eventually come around.
I told her we just wanted to help.
So once she takes the money,
we can later on say it was money for settlement.
What about those guys who assaulted Park Tae Seob?
We're still searching for them, but there weren't any CCTVs.
So it won't be easy.
My goodness.
How did Suk Joon get involved in something like this?
I told the boys to stay hidden.
Mr. Ha.
You're one scary guy.
- I'm impressed. - Thank you, sir.
How did you...
think of killing Park Tae Seob and framing it on Suk Joon?
Pardon?
I figured that'd be the best for both of you.
You never disappoint me, Mr. Ha.
I'll promote you as soon as I get promoted.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, Mom,
what if Mr. Ha also betrays us like Secretary Park?
Do you think I'll let that happen again?
I told the boys to stay hidden.
Mr. Ha. You're one scary guy.
- I'm impressed. - Thank you, sir.
How did you...
think of killing Park Tae Seob and framing it on Suk Joon?
Pardon?
I figured that'd be the best for both of you.
You're so smart, Mom.
Excellent.
I guess they're really going to stay.
How is Min Ho?
He just went to bed.
Every time my husband...
gave me a hard time,
I prayed so many times...
that he'd just die.
But...
you see,
he also lived a difficult life himself.
That's probably why...
he gave you such a hard time.
But he still shouldn't have died like this.
He already had a sad life.
He didn't deserve to die such a miserable death.
What's the matter?
I want to see the guy who killed my husband.
I want him to apologize before the funeral ends.
That might at least resolve my husband's grudge.
Pil Jeong. Pil Jeong.
His fingerprints are the only evidence we found.
Someone could've put the knife in his hands...
to frame him for Park Tae Seob's murder.
Can you give me a name?
Well...
Park Tae Seob's cell phone is completely broken.
So we asked the telecom company for his call logs.
But right now, the only evidence we have...
are Kang Suk Joon's fingerprints.
It was his first offense and accidental.
So he won't get a long sentence.
I'm sure you know that. You're an attorney.
He needs to get acquitted.
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.
Then the guy who did this should come and apologize.
I want to ask him...
what my husband did to deserve...
I want to ask if he really needed to kill him like that.
According to what we've looked into regarding your husband,
he scammed people and took out a private loan to gamble.
He even blackmailed his clients.
- He was a bad seed. - Is that why he killed him?
Does that mean he deserves to die?
I don't feel comfortable saying this about someone who's dead.
But your husband had a lot of criminal records.
If he had lived a decent life, this wouldn't have happened to him.
So please go back and wait for the investigation to end.
Have you lost your mind?
How much does he owe you? I'll get that money for you.
They're willing to pay for his death,
so he can use that to pay you back.
I can't believe you guys are the only guests at his funeral.
I'm so sick and tired of him!
I don't feel sad or sorry for him at all!
Why should I?
I've done enough!
You're... You're really going to pay us back, right?
- Hey, let's go get some fresh air. - Let's go.
You idiot. You fool.
They don't even respect you at your own funeral.
Why did you live such a futile life?
It all becomes meaningless once you die.
What in the world did you to get yourself in this mess?
You promised us a good life, and this is what you give us?
Tell me.
At least give me an excuse,
you jerk!
Mom!
No, he didn't blackmail me.
That's not true at all. He came to say hello a few times.
Suk Joon just got the wrong idea.
You saw Secretary Park as well. He told you he came to say hello.
Are you blaming Suk Hwan for what happened to Suk Joon?
He went there for Suk Hwan.
He got himself into this mess because of a misunderstanding.
My goodness.
It really hurts to see him go through this.
If I could get punished on his behalf,
I'd be more than willing to do so.
It's best to have his sentence reduced...
or have him get released on probation.
I won't let Suk Joon become an ex-convict.
We never know.
There's a slim chance for him to get acquitted.
But I'll also try to figure out a way to get him released.
You need to sign the severance pay documents.
So please come to the school.
Okay.
- Oh, wait. - Yes?
Is Ms. Oh Pil Jeong still teaching there?
She took a few days off for personal reasons.
But this month is going to be her last month working here.
Okay, bye.
The situation isn't in our favor.
There were no CCTVs or witnesses at the scene of the accident.
The evidence that was found by the police...
are all very unfavorable to you.
Look at her.
She's unbelievable.
(We'd like to thank Kang Seo Jun for making a special appearance.)
(Mom Has an Affair)
- My husband is dead. - What do you want me to do?
Eun Ju, please. Let me keep my job as a teacher.
The autopsy results are out.
There won't be a way to prove it.
Do you really think Suk Joon killed that person?
- I'm going to prove I'm innocent. - Just stop!
I've always hated you.
You'll always be my son.
Don't try to get me involved.
- Did you take care of everything? - You mean you weren't alone?
I had nothing to do with Park Tae Seob.
- Are you doubting Suk Hwan? - You can keep trusting him, Mom.
