(Episode 91)
Let me cut to the chase.
What was the real cause of death...
of my mother Um Sang Mi?
The real cause of death?
My mother...
was murdered.
What... Why would you think that?
It looks like there was a misunderstanding.
From what I recall, Um Sang Mi's cause of death...
was sepsis resulting from pneumonia.
Sepsis?
She could've gotten that...
from ingesting poisoned food.
Mr. Kwon.
I'm positive that did not happen.
Then...
do you know Min Hee Kyung?
Of course, I do.
And I know Lora's chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang...
was Um Sang Mi's ex-husband.
She came to see her often.
The nurses and the relatives of other patients...
judged her harshly...
for seducing a patient's husband.
Um Sang Mi scratched her, cursed at her, and spat on her.
She took a lot of abuse.
She just accepted it and took care of her.
That can't be. I heard...
that woman put a strange white powder in my mom's food.
The nurses saw it.
I know. It was a multivitamin.
A multivitamin?
(Chief Director Kwon Ju Hyung)
An imported powder vitamin was popular back then.
We had many good domestic brands,
but many people took that instead.
It was dissolved in water...
or mixed into food for people who refused to take them.
A multivitamin?
Nonsense.
What? Ju Hyung?
I was with him just now.
What did he say?
He asked if his mother was poisoned.
So?
I had nothing much to say.
I told him what I knew.
Thank you.
Let's have dinner sometime.
I'll take you somewhere nice.
Okay, bye.
- Hello, Father. - Come to my office.
I heard you met with Director Kim.
Director Kim Nam Jun of the nursing home.
Do you know him?
I do.
So that was why.
I know what you suspect.
Of course, you do.
However,
you played dumb.
You don't know anything.
I do too! Why wouldn't I?
Less than one year after my grandfather passed away,
my mom died.
I know she may have had psychological issues,
but she was healthy physically.
But she suddenly caught pneumonia and had sepsis?
At that young age?
There's no guarantee that young people don't get them.
Your mom...
was not well...
even when we got married.
She was perfectly fine and happy when she lived with me.
Even after she married you,
she was happy.
Until that woman...
Min Hee Kyung appeared.
Less than a year after my grandfather passed away,
you shipped me off to the US and sent my mom to a nursing home.
And soon thereafter,
after that woman Min Hee Kyung...
moved into our house,
my mom became sick and passed away.
Do you know why...
I came back from the US?
I came because I wanted to know...
why my mom... My poor mom who was disrespected...
for being a head case, died, and who killed her.
That was why I came.
I know you know...
how my mom...
ended up dying.
Please tell me.
Tell me!
Tell you what? She died because she was sick!
Why are you saying someone killed her...
and who?
You're old enough, so you should understand.
I was fooled...
by your grandfather.
You weren't fooled.
You pretended to be...
since you were after his fortune.
- Ju Hyung. - Just wait!
I will not...
sit still.
I'll uncover the truth...
behind my mom's death.
How and why my poor mom died.
I swear to you.
Father.
Do you know...
how your mother, my grandmother,
passed away?
If you found out...
how Grandmother passed away,
you wouldn't sit still either.
No matter how much you love Stepmother.
Come in.
Hi.
Hye Bin.
I came to see if you were working hard.
Okay.
You have to buy me some yummy food, okay?
Slow down. You'll get sick.
Sure. You did nothing wrong.
Both of us had bad luck when it came to our parents.
Gemma. It's been so long.
Have a seat.
Have a drink.
It's so nice being out.
You know, it's been so suffocating.
Mom, Dad, the housekeeper... Everyone has been watching me...
in case I cause trouble.
Ki Seok!
She insisted on coming here.
Have a seat.
That's right. Did you know?
This is huge.
Ju Hyung and Gemma...
are going out.
I've heard.
Poor you.
Gemma dumped you again.
Here's to the true victor, Kim Gemma!
Hye Bin.
Yoon Ki Seok, Yoon Hyun Seok,
Kwon Ju Hyung.
She conquered all three men. She's a true victor.
Here's to the true victor, Kim Gemma!
Hye Bin.
Yoon Ki Seok, Yoon Hyun Seok,
Kwon Ju Hyung.
She conquered all three men. She's a true victor.
(Detective Oh Jun Sang)
Hello, detective.
Tomorrow is the last day of trial for your mother's case.
It's at 11 a.m. Are you coming?
It's not like they'll put Kwon Hyuk Sang on the stand.
I don't want to watch that farce of a trial.
I understand.
I'll go and watch, and let you know once they render a verdict.
Thank you.
Mom.
Tomorrow is the last day of trial...
for the man who ran you down.
They say he'll probably go to jail.
Although Kwon Hyuk Sang is the one who deserves to be punished.
Just wait!
I will not sit still.
I'll uncover the truth...
behind my mom's death.
How and why my poor mom died.
I swear to you.
Father.
Do you know...
how your mother, my grandmother,
passed away?
If you found out...
how Grandmother passed away,
you wouldn't sit still either.
No matter how much you love Stepmother.
She tried to kill her own daughter.
What about her mother-in-law who was a thorn in her side?
What about your first wife?
Do you still say the suspicions aren't reasonable?
I won't live with you anymore.
You two are the same.
Murderers.
- Soo Yeon. - I can look...
the other way and ignore everything that you've done!
But...
if Hee Kyung...
really killed our Mom,
I will not forgive her.
I'll uncover the truth and make her pay.
I'll punish her!
You said you were having a drink to help you sleep.
Do you plan to drink the entire bottle?
Pour me some.
Ju Hyung...
met with Director Kim Nam Jun.
He asked him how his mom died.
What the cause of death was.
That stupid idiot.
Do you feel guilty, Hee Kyung?
You should be careful for the time being...
if you don't want Ju Hyung to catch you.
What are you saying?
You should know exactly what I'm saying.
Are you saying I killed his mom?
Didn't you?
Me? Not you?
What?
If anyone killed her, it would've been you, not me.
Because you benefited the most from her death.
Don't be absurd.
You, not I, inherited her entire fortune...
when she died.
She was going to die anyway.
All I had to do was wait.
Why would I have gotten blood on my hands?
Don't you agree?
Because you were crazy about me back then.
Because you were nervous that I may leave you.
Because you couldn't get a divorce.
That was why you killed her.
I plan...
to get a divorce.
- Divorce? - Yes.
I'm going to get a divorce.
You jerk.
What did I do wrong?
- You... - I fell for your trick...
and was married to a woman who could barely function for years.
How much longer must I stay married to her?
I'm human too. I'm a man too!
Give me a break. It was you.
You killed her.
You drugged her food...
when you visited her in the nursing home.
I know that.
I told you, they were vitamins!
What? Vitamins?
You don't believe me?
I'm sure.
I was very good to her.
Because I felt bad for her as a fellow woman.
Because I pitied her.
Mother?
She absolutely despised me.
She called me a witch, a venomous snake,
and all sorts of nasty things.
But I felt sorry for her as well.
Is it a sin...
to be a woman?
She's right.
It's a misunderstanding.
Hee Kyung was different back then.
She may have been obsessed with succeeding,
but she wasn't vile enough to kill a person.
She was innocent.
She became like this because of Gemma.
Her nightmare of a past resurfaced.
If Gemma hadn't shown up,
Hee Kyung wouldn't have changed like this.
If only that brat Gemma hadn't shown up.
What is it at this hour?
Sir. You know that the trial is at 11 a.m. tomorrow, right?
But he's asking for a deposit by 10 a.m.
A million dollars.
He's threatening to say you hired him if you don't pay him.
What? That...
That's utterly ridiculous.
I said I'd pay him once the trial was over.
He says he can't trust you and wants it before the trial.
The trial is at 11 a.m.
A million dollars by 10 a.m.?
He should at least give me time to get the money together.
He's trying to mess with me. No.
He's saying he'll report me to the police.
What should we do?
Should I just have him killed? No one will be the wiser.
I have a feeling he'll constantly be a pain in the neck.
Wait until morning.
I'll decide then.
Seriously.
This is so annoying.
What is this?
It's me, Tae Gil.
Soo Yeon.
I just can't sleep with your aunt.
She is extremely active.
Then sleep here and go back in...
before she wakes up.
Come here.
Okay.
- Tae Gil. - Yes?
Don't cross the line, okay?
Okay.
Tae Gil. Are you asleep?
That was quick.
Where is she?
Is she making breakfast?
Goodness.
Why you little brats.
Get up! Wake up right now!
Get in here. Now.
Tae Gil. What am I in this family?
What?
What am I?
Well... The eldest member.
The leader.
So how could you defy the rules of the home...
and sleep together?
You're a man and a woman.
We didn't do anything.
We literally just slept. I swear.
That's right.
We really didn't do anything. Not a thing.
This won't do. It really won't.
From today on, the two of you...
sleep here.
Let me.
How much do you need?
I know you didn't sleep a wink last night...
after you got that call.
Tell me. How much do you need?
What do you know? Why are you being cheeky?
I know from experience,
so set aside your pride and tell me.
However,
ask nicely.
Ask nicely?
Mind your own business. I'll handle it.
You're too proud. That's why you're beneath me.
You're too stiff to bend when you need to bend.
You insist on snapping in two.
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
You know that the trial is at 11 a.m. tomorrow, right?
But he's asking for a deposit by 10 a.m.
A million dollars.
He's threatening to say...
you hired him if you don't pay him.
What should we do?
Should I just have him killed?
No one will be the wiser.
It's me.
Get rid of him.
Still no word?
It starts at 11 a.m., so we'll have a verdict soon.
They wouldn't just let him go because he confessed, would they?
They can't do that. A person died.
If they do,
I'll protest and demand that they bring my sister back.
Give Gemma a call.
Ask if that detective called.
What do you mean?
He didn't show up in court?
You said the trial was at 11 a.m.
I'm checking with the detention center.
I'll call you back.
What's wrong?
Is it about the trial for your mother's case?
It starts at 11 a.m.,
but the suspect still hasn't arrived.
What's going on?
Hello, Detective Oh.
They said he died.
What was that?
Would you say that again?
That man who turned himself in for killing your mother...
was found dead in the detention center.
That's absurd.
They said it was suicide,
but I can't believe that.
Gemma.
He's dead.
He killed himself in the detention center.
The hit-and-run driver awaiting his verdict...
hanged himself and died an hour before the trial.
Oh no.
They found a suicide note near him which they think he wrote.
Park Soo Yeon is on the scene.
Around 10:30 a.m. today,
there was an unexpected suicide in a detention center.
Although first responders arrived within five minutes,
he was already dead.
How could that happen?
Wait. The trial for the hit-and-run driver...
who killed Gemma's mother is today too.
You don't think... No, right?
What?
Good work.
Turn off your phone for the time being.
Come in Ms. Kim.
What is it?
Murderer. How could you go this far?
You staged an accident to kill my mom,
and now you kill the man who was going to trial?
Why? Were you afraid they'd find out you were behind it?
That all of your other crimes would come to light as well?
You're a monster.
You're a murderer!
I don't know what you're thinking.
I don't have special powers.
How could I do something to a man locked up behind bars?
We brought you back to work,
but you're writing fiction instead.
I saw it...
when I showed him your photo at the detention center.
He was surprised when he saw your face.
He was scared.
Watch your mouth.
You'll get hurt.
I've gone very easy on you.
You nearly died.
You should thank the stars and behave.
I hear you may end up becoming my daughter-in-law.
But then again, you can't help being that way.
You get it from your mom, Hee Kyung.
She's not my mom.
You killed my mom!
Denying it...
doesn't change your DNA.
Shut it, you murderer.
What are you doing?
Ms. Yeo.
Take Gemma out of here.
Let's go, Gemma.
You told me to be dignified,
but look at you. What a disgrace.
Did you have to be so messy...
and deal with it like this...
because you were too cheap to pay a little money?
(We appreciate Lee Sun Young and...)
(Park Soo Yeon for their guest appearance.)
