- No, I didn't. - Ju Kyung!
- Come with us. - Embezzlement?
- I didn't do that! No! - Chairwoman Shin!
- Stop them!
- What's going on? - Jang Gi Yun, was it you?
Why would I do something like this?
I didn't do it!
- Chairwoman Shin! - Let go of me! What's with you?
- Let go of me! - Chairman Shin!
- I didn't do this! - Chairwoman Shin didn't do it!
- Let go of me! - She didn't do it!
Ju Kyung...
Then why am I suspicious of you?
I'm her husband.
Why would I do this to the mother of my daughter?
Ju Kyung.
Ye Kyung, don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
- What's he doing? - Hey.
- My gosh. - Hey, Woo Hyuk. Stop it.
- Good grief. - Mr. Jang.
- Don't do this. - Whenever you two meet,
you always end up grabbing each other by the neck.
If you two want to help Ju Kyung, stop making a scene!
Instead of fighting, run out and find out what this is about!
I won't let you live if you're behind this.
Where are you going?
You told me to run out and find out what was going on!
Darn it.
Goodness.
Nothing bad will happen to Chairwoman Shin.
Don't be alarmed and get back to work.
Goodness, things are never peaceful in this agency!
(WJ Entertainment)
(Chairwoman Shin Ju Kyung)
Oh my.
(Chairwoman Shin Ju Kyung)
Ju Kyung, this was my office to begin with.
I just took back what you stole from me.
So don't feel so grieved.
(Chairwoman Shin Ju Kyung)
We received...
an anonymous report on the Police Agency's website...
that you have misappropriated company funds.
These files are...
the proof.
This is nonsense.
I haven't bought any property in the US with our company's money.
Look. This is the contract. Isn't this your signature?
It's time to tell the truth.
I want a lawyer.
I didn't think she was the type.
But embezzlement?
Tell me about it.
My dad must feel devastated after getting betrayed by her!
Fate must be on our side.
Director Shin will go to prison...
and help us get the business back on track.
This is why you must always live a good life. Okay?
Then fate will come around and help you divinely.
You're right. Yes.
We must live a good life to be blessed!
Director Shin was arrested for embezzlement.
Great timing, isn't it?
- Embezzlement? - It was Gi Yun and Yang Hee Chan.
This was the same way they sent me to prison.
Goodness. This is amazing.
This is so interesting.
Everything is so dynamic that I almost forgot to breathe.
Shin Ju Kyung's embezzlement?
Ju Kyung misappropriated the agency's fund?
This was the evidence from an anonymous reporter.
Dad.
He must be in shock because of Ju Kyung.
I hear there is a high chance...
the anonymous reporter is an insider at the agency.
Do you have any idea who it could be?
I'm not sure.
I'll look into it.
- Attorney Kwon. - Yes?
Form her counsel with the best attorneys.
I can't let Ju Kyung rot in prison.
Yes.
Dad, she won't be able to return...
forever.
Jaclyn!
I hear Shin Ju Kyung is going to prison!
Word travels fast.
I have even better news.
What is it?
I missed you so much, Jaclyn.
The IP address of the anonymous reporter...
belongs to a company named Starcop?
What do they do?
It's a security company.
That agency is affiliated with your agency, WJ Entertainment.
What?
Jang Gi Yun, I knew it was you.
I found the anonymous reporter of your embezzlement suspicion.
Who was it?
Jang Gi Yun.
That's ridiculous.
The IP address of the reporter on the Police Agency's website...
was Starcop.
Starcop? The security company led by Mr. Tak Sung Gu?
Yes.
I'm sure Jang Gi Yun made Mr. Tak upload the false report.
He wouldn't do that no matter how much he hated me.
Hang in there.
I won't let you go to prison.
You can't have...
your baby in there.
Woo Hyuk.
Why are you so nice to me?
Well, I'm not being nice.
I'm just showing loyalty.
You'd do the same for me in a situation like this.
Bye.
I'm so touched.
I can't believe you made everything here for me, Mother.
Why would I?
Ms. Kim made everything.
Jaclyn, if you crave Korean food, I should make it myself.
How can I let anyone else do it?
Mother, do you like me that much?
Of course, I do.
You and I belong to the same world.
How can I put this? We're on the same level.
We speak the same language, and I feel at ease around you.
It's tough for people like us to mix...
with the poor, impoverished, and unsophisticated kind.
What is it, Mother?
Honey, I thought you were at the hospital.
I didn't feel well on the way, so I just came back.
Woman! Are you out of your mind?
Your pregnant daughter-in-law is under investigation by the police,
and you chose to call this vixen to share a table with her?
Don't you feel bad for Ju Kyung?
Why would I feel bad?
Why should I say sorry...
to that wicked girl who stole from the agency?
You were just stabbed in the back.
How can you feel fine?
Don't you feel betrayed?
I trust Ju Kyung!
She would never betray me.
Go home! Why are you still here?
I was leaving!
- Darn it. Go now! - Goodness, honey!
Go now!
- Don't ever come back here! - Honey!
- You can't throw food! - Get out of this house!
I thought you were in bad condition!
You seem energetic enough! Let's go.
- Let's go. - Darn it.
That pathetic woman.
What is this smell?
Who's that?
- She has food on her. - My gosh.
Japchae?
What's this smell?
- It smells. - Look at her shoes.
Woo Hyuk, the movie script for your audition is ready.
Hey, Woo Hyuk, what's with that face?
You look serious, like a killer who's out to kill someone.
What? Hey!
Who do you think you...
Jang Gi Yun! I knew it was you!
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Darn it. Let go of me!
- Why are you running amok again? - You dirty man.
Do you think you'll live after framing Ju Kyung for embezzlement?
Hey.
Do you have evidence that I was behind this?
I do.
Was it really you?
Did you really frame Ju Kyung?
No, Ye Kyung.
Hey, let go of me.
Let go of me! Darn it!
Good grief.
Ye Kyung, are you suspicious of me...
only because of what this crazy guy is saying?
You're making me sad!
Sad?
He says he has evidence!
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
She was so good to you.
How can you think...
of framing her and sending her to prison?
How do you call yourself human?
Good grief. It wasn't me!
Calm down, Ye Kyung.
I have evidence.
He's finished.
- You jerk. - Let's go.
Come on.
Darn it.
Finished, my foot.
What are you looking at? Close the door!
- Yes. - Yes.
- No. - I got it.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Darn it!
Evidence?
How ridiculous.
Goodness.
Was it really Gi Yun?
Did you hand over the evidence to the police?
No, not yet.
Why not?
I'm going to give it to...
someone powerful enough to get her out.
Who's that?
(IP Address Access Log)
(Korea, personal computer, Starcop)
Mr. Chairman, the IP address of the anonymous reporter...
who uploaded the files of Ju Kyung's embezzlement...
belonged to Starcop, the security company Jang Gi Yun made.
You must understand what that means.
The IP address alone isn't enough to prove that Ju Kyung is innocent,
so I'm here to see you.
Please help her.
Chairman Jang, you'll help her, won't you?
Attorney Kwon, come to my house immediately.
(Seoul Police Station)
Did he approach you through the social media?
Yes, he contacted my SNS account...
then said he was in business.
Really? What else?
Jin Bal! Mr. Wang!
- Goodness. - Hey, Na Hee.
Gosh, there's one more.
No, Jin Bal. It can't be.
You are the Chinese royal blood of the Qing Dynasty, right?
Wang Jin Bal is Korean.
He's not Chinese, but Korean?
That's impossible.
His name and age are all fake.
He's a fraud who approaches women...
through social media to extort money from them.
The women over there are his victims, just like you.
This can't be true.
A movie star. A star lecturer.
An attorney. A teacher. A civil servant.
Darn you.
He went after a variety of women too.
Do you see the woman showing her back wearing sunglasses?
She's an announcer.
What about this? Is this watch fake too?
Yes, look over there.
You!
Wang Jin Bal, you fraud!
Wang Jin Bal, you jerk!
Give me my money back!
- And my money! - Calm down!
- Give me my money too! - You!
Darn it!
Hey, I never blackmailed you for money.
You gave it to me because...
you were dying to be part of the royal family!
Your vanity is the crime, not me!
- You need to learn a lesson. - What are you saying?
- Take this! - Give me my money back!
- That hurts! - Darn you!
I told you to come home early because your dad wanted to see you.
Why are you so late?
Is he asleep?
- He's still waiting for you. - Still?
Dad, is something going on?
Why aren't you asleep yet?
There was someone besides Ju Kyung...
who embezzled our company's money.
What?
That's a lot. Who's this jerk?
I'll take care of this immediately.
You.
What?
Goodness, why would I embezzle our company's money?
You pushed the VK Media business without the board's approval...
under the agency's name...
and used our building and the hotel as collateral to take out a loan!
This is true misappropriation.
I told Attorney Kwon to prepare the evidence thoroughly.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to sue you.
Why are you doing this?
Bring Ju Kyung back now.
And do it yourself.
What?
I know you tried to lock her up by using a fake report...
and fake evidence.
Why did you do that? Why did you act like a fool?
Because you trusted Ju Kyung more than me.
Because you didn't believe in your only son...
and gave the chairpersonship to Shin Ju Kyung!
That's why I wanted to get rid of her...
from your life and mine! So what?
What a fool.
Don't you know you need her for your and the agency's safety?
Get her out now!
How am I going to do that?
How can I pull her out?
You have Assemblyman Yang behind you!
He'd do what he could since he helped you put her in!
Do you have to take things this far?
Must you abandon me and have Ju Kyung by your side?
Am I even your real son?
I won't give you too much time.
If you don't bring Ju Kyung here by tomorrow,
I will report you to the police.
You can't barge in like this at this late hour.
Sit down. What brings you here this late?
Ms. Woo, please give us some privacy.
What is it? Why are you asking me to leave?
Please!
Okay, fine.
How dare you scream at me?
Those who have affairs don't have a conscience...
or manners! Good grief.
What brings you here this late?
Please get Shin Ju Kyung out.
If you don't, I'll die.
- What? What are you talking about? - Please hurry.
Assemblyman Yang, we don't have enough time.
You've been through a lot.
Ye Kyung had to be on set, so she couldn't come.
She said she'd see you at home.
Okay.
Do you want to eat something?
No, I want to go home.
You shouldn't go home for a while.
I don't want you to go back to where Jang Gi Yun is...
after he framed you like that.
Who knows what he'll do to you now?
Jang Gi Yun isn't the only one who lives there.
Soo A and Father are there too.
My family is there.
Wait up. I brought the company car.
How was Shin Ju Kyung suddenly released for lack of evidence?
Something urgent must have come up for Jang Gi Yun.
Something so urgent that he had to pull Director Shin out.
So why did he frame someone innocent and send her to prison?
Are you saying Jang Gi Yun...
framed Shin Ju Kyung?
You already knew. Don't play dumb.
You know everything, but you're enjoying this.
You play dumb knowing the kind of atrocities Gi Yun is up to.
Isn't that so?
Oh, dear. You got me.
All I want to do is use Jang Gi Yun...
to get WJ Entertainment in my hands...
without getting any blood on my hands.
Is that so?
Then be careful not to let me catch you otherwise.
What else do you think you know?
Your feelings for Gi Yun.
I'll first need to have feelings for you to catch them.
Goodness, Ms. Shin.
Is someone here?
How... Why are you... Why aren't you in prison?
Why would an innocent person go to prison?
What? What's going on?
What happens to Gi Yun if she doesn't go to prison?
Goodness.
It must've been tough.
Do you feel all right?
Yes.
You know that we need you, right?
This family, the agency, and I need you.
Yes, Father.
(Entertainment Industry Business Management Analysis)
I hope your dad dies...
just like my foster parents did in the US!
Then things would be much easier.
We could have WJ Entertainment too.
Could luck strike me, and my dad...
suddenly dies?
If luck will not come to me,
I will make it.
Good morning.
Director Shin! No, Chairwoman Shin!
What happened?
She was found innocent.
I'm so glad! My gosh.
I totally believed that you were innocent!
Yes.
Thank you, everyone.
My gosh.
Goodness.
Thank you, Woo Hyuk.
Dad.
You must be troubled because of this foolish son.
I never wanted to be your disappointment.
That's why...
this is so painful...
and hard for me too.
You never give me your approval.
And my life is...
in so much pain.
I just want to...
end everything now.
All this pain...
and agony.
Grandpa! Are you in pain?
Yes.
This. Give this...
to your mommy.
You can't let anyone else have it.
It has to be your mommy. Okay?
Okay, Grandpa.
I'm feeling sleepy, Soo A.
I'm feeling sleepy.
Teddy Girl, please keep this until I give this to Mommy.
Gi Yun!
He saw me.
Why?
I'm home.
I tell you to come early and make dinner, but you're always late.
- Wake the chairman up for dinner. - Yes.
I didn't see you at work all day.
Were you with that woman?
It's none of your business.
Soo A.
Mommy, I have something to give you.
Let's do it later. I have to wake Grandpa first.
Where's Dad?
He's been asleep all day.
- Really? - Yes.
Father, please come and eat.
Father?
Goodness.
My gosh! Father! What's wrong?
Ju Kyung!
Father, should I call Dr. Oh?
Father!
What's this sound? My goodness.
Father!
Ju Kyung...
Father, what's wrong?
Father!
Honey!
- What did you do to him? - What?
Honey! My goodness!
Oh no!
Goodness, honey.
Honey.
- Oh no. - Soo A, come to the room with me.
Gi Yun!
Call 911! Now!
Goodness, honey.
Hello?
Is this 911?
Oh no...
Honey!
Honey, no...
Oh no.
No...
(The Elegant Empire)
You're under arrest for suspicions of patricide.
What? Patricide?
Don't worry.
The whole world and I know you're innocent.
You'll be released soon.
Jang Gi Yun is stopping Ju Kyung from seeing an attorney.
No one wants to take it because they know they'll lose.
The reporter and the witness, Hong Hye Rim.
My mother-in-law reported me?
