(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(All child actors were shot under supervision.)
He loved and trusted me. Why would I kill him?
I didn't kill him.
I didn't do it!
Why are you doing this to me?
- Ju Kyung! - What?
Ju Kyung! One moment.
Ju Kyung.
Help!
Ju Kyung.
Ju Kyung!
Hurry up.
- Goodness, no. - Ju Kyung.
Ju Kyung.
What if she loses her baby?
That poor girl.
Shin Ju Kyung.
You brought this on yourself.
Ju Kyung!
Will someone help her?
No, Gi Yun never wanted that child either.
Don't mourn for the baby or feel bad for her.
Take the defendant to the hospital immediately.
The court is adjourned today.
(Judge's Bench)
Ju Kyung, no! Wake up!
Hurry!
Doctor, how is she?
She'll wake up soon.
She has become frail due to high stress and malnutrition.
What about the baby?
She had a miscarriage.
Poor Ju Kyung.
She'd be devastated if she lost the baby,
and she did.
What's she going to do now, Woo Hyuk?
Weren't you nervous when you stood there as a witness?
- Goodness. - Goodness.
Why would I be nervous? I stood there to state the truth.
I even felt relieved to spill out the whole truth.
I felt so bad for Ju Kyung.
I called Ye Kyung, and she said she lost her baby.
I feel bad for that unborn baby...
and Ju Kyung, who probably isn't getting the rest she needs...
because she's in jail.
Why do you feel bad for her?
She's the murderer of her father-in-law!
Goodness, hey! The baby she carried was...
one of your family's.
Don't you feel heartbroken to hear that she lost her baby?
No, if she hadn't lost the baby,
she would've used the baby to hold Gi Yun back from success.
I was already sick and tired of the painful days...
of seeing that girl as a stumbling block in Gi Yun's life.
Why do you look at me like that?
Have you always been that harsh?
She's your daughter-in-law.
Who do you think made me this harsh?
It was her, Ju Kyung!
I shudder whenever I think of her!
All right.
Director Shin had a miscarriage.
Don't you feel bad for her?
Why should I feel bad for her?
She's an idiot for letting that happen to herself.
Jaclyn!
You were going to shake Jang Gi Yun to take WJ Entertainment,
not throwing Director Shin in prison.
Seung Pil, why are you suddenly acting so kind?
You made me approach Gi Yun to get your revenge.
Yes, I did!
That's why I regret getting you involved in this.
Na Seung Pil. Have you ever been abandoned by your family?
You've never lived...
as a kid in a strange land, trampled by everyone, have you?
I had to leave first before I was left behind,
and I had to trample on them first before I got trampled on to survive.
No! My poor baby!
I feel so bad for my poor baby.
Stop crying, Ju Kyung.
You'll end up hurting yourself.
No...
No.
I couldn't have lost my baby.
I need to see the doctor.
I need to see the doctor!
I'm going to ask what really happened to my baby!
It's true, Ju Kyung.
Let go of me!
I couldn't have lost my baby!
Pull yourself together!
You're an undertrial who's arrested for murder,
and you lost your baby during the trial.
You can't cry like a weakling right now.
Think of Soo A!
She's waiting for you. Think of her and pull it together!
Soo A...
My Soo A... Oh no...
This is too hard.
I'm so scared and broken.
I'm sorry.
You're deeply troubled,
but there's nothing I can do.
The founder, Chairman Jang, has passed away,
and the new chairwoman, Shin Ju Kyung,
is on trial for murder, which puts us in a crisis.
We have no choice but to leave the company to President Jang.
His many projects did our agency a lot of damage.
It's not right to place him...
as chairman, no matter the crisis we're in.
I agree with you.
Chairwoman Shin's trial isn't over, and her sentence isn't decided.
It would be a hasty decision to appoint Mr. Jang...
as the next chairman.
Hey, directors.
I'll find an investor and save this agency from dying,
so stop complaining and appoint me as the chairman!
What's with him?
(Jang Gi Yun)
So these are...
contract cancellations for the projects our actors were in...
and damage claims after our image was destroyed?
Yes.
And I also overheard the Finance Team saying...
we may not be able to pay our employees this month.
We're temporarily in a tough spot...
because our stock price dropped, and we're low on cash.
Our staff is wondering if our agency will go down.
Why would our agency go down?
WJ Entertainment will never go down as long as I'm around!
Of course, it won't.
(WJ Entertainment)
Ju Kyung even lost the baby because of you,
yet you wouldn't even visit her?
If you're her husband, you need to see how hurt she is...
and if her health is all right!
Tell Ju Kyung...
that I'm busy with the agency,
so she needs to manage on her own.
You're the cause of everything. Don't you feel bad for her?
If you feel that bad, you can have her!
You can take what I've thrown out...
and pity her as much as you like!
What?
She's not something you throw away or give to someone!
I am too busy...
to deal with you right now.
What are you doing, Mr. Cho? Get him out of here.
Yes.
- Let's go, Woo Hyuk. - Let go of me!
You jerk.
Jang Gi Yun, you're less than human.
(WJ Entertainment)
I finally kicked out Ju Kyung, that eyesore,
and Jung Woo Hyuk began to act up now.
I need to become the chairman soon.
This agency is all that I am. I can't let this go down.
- I'm here. - Come here.
Hey.
(Bora Kindergarten)
- Let's go. - I can walk.
Hi, Soo A. I came instead of your grandma. Hop in.
Will you keep living at my home?
Yes.
Did you get Mommy's permission?
Why do I need your mom's permission?
I get my friend's permission when I visit her home.
This tiny little girl is too particular.
Of course, I got her permission.
Let's go.
(Bora Kindergarten)
- Grandma. - Hey.
My pumpkin.
Wait, why is she here?
I'm not just here. I live here.
Hey, Jaclyn.
This isn't right, okay?
How can you barge in and settle down while Ju Kyung is gone?
This is ridiculous!
Where's your conscience?
Old lady, I'll do what I want with my conscience.
I was patient with your rudeness...
because you were Mother's friend and Assemblyman Yang's wife.
But I won't condone your behavior anymore.
I can't believe this.
Hey, what are you going to do?
Get out! Get out of my home now!
What?
No, you get out.
Get out!
Shut up, both of you!
What are you two doing with Soo A here?
Hey, Hye Rim!
Kick out that rude thing right now.
That little...
Young Ran. Gi Yun's struggling because the company is in a pinch.
If I must kick her out, I will after we get her investment.
Good gracious. Calm down.
Grandma. What's a miscarriage?
My friend said Mommy had a miscarriage.
What?
Oh, you see...
Soo A. It means your baby sibling inside Mommy's tummy...
went to paradise.
Then Mommy must be really upset.
What if Mommy cries a lot after sending the baby...
to paradise alone?
I feel bad for Mommy and the baby.
So...
while Mommy's not here, listen to me and your daddy.
Only then will Mommy not be troubled by you. Okay?
Seriously.
That girl is much more mature than us adults.
Dig in, will you?
Aren't you going back to the holding cell tomorrow?
Eating will help you get your energy back.
What will happen to me?
If I get falsely charged with murder and go to jail...
When will I be able to see Soo A?
Don't think about going to jail.
Think about proving your innocence.
Eat for Soo A's sake.
He's right. Eat, Ju Kyung.
You have to eat to fight your husband... No.
That jerk Jang Gi Yun who put you in this situation.
Here. Eat.
This ring is just to my taste.
I thought you would give me the investment plan first...
with how bad the company was doing.
Didn't I tell you?
That you were more important to me than the investment.
Let's get the order straight.
What order?
Divorce Shin Ju Kyung first.
I'll send 100 million dollars as soon as you're divorced.
Jaclyn. Do you think Ju Kyung will agree to the divorce right now?
She's on trial for murder and even had a miscarriage.
With how enraged she is, she won't divorce me, will she?
Find a way to make her do it.
It's a divorce in exchange for 100 million dollars.
It's the least you should do, no?
I'll accept the ring after that.
I heard you were hungry.
But cooking rice was time-consuming, so I made a sandwich.
I'm sick and tired of Western food.
Make me a simple handmade sujebi.
A handmade sujebi all of a sudden?
Didn't you promise to make me anything...
like your daughter if I asked?
Was that a lie?
Just make it.
What an arrogant wench.
Gosh, you look great in that prison garb.
So amazing.
Goodness.
Out of all the clothes you've worn until now,
that one looks the best on you.
So it's true that...
people have clothes that suit them perfectly.
What about Soo A? Is she doing well?
What?
Are you worried that I threw her into an orphanage...
like your parents did?
- What? - You're not her only parent.
I'm Soo A's dad.
I'm looking after her well while struggling to protect...
the company and family you made a mess of.
What are you here for?
Here. Take a look at it.
(Divorce Application with Parental Authority)
Divorce?
Oh, right. Here.
I brought your seal. Stamp it on the paper.
Jang Gi Yun. Do you really want to ask for a divorce from someone...
in the holding cell for false charges?
I knew you had no sense of conscience.
But you're really the worst.
Why on earth would I divorce you?
For Soo A's sake.
Think of Soo A, and stamp your seal on it.
Is that so? Thanks for bringing it up.
Did you not think about the pain our divorce will cause Soo A?
Do you think I lived with you out of love?
I put up with our marriage because I didn't want Soo A...
to see her parents get a divorce.
If you thought so dearly of Soo A,
you should've done better and not caused this wreck.
You'll rot behind bars for at least 20 years...
if you get charged with patricide and foul play.
Think of this...
as rewarding me for raising Soo A well until then.
Return the stocks Dad gave you.
Divorce me without a word.
And, of course, you know there won't be any alimony, right?
"Return the stocks?"
So you'll take every penny of mine as we divorce?
And no alimony?
Why would I go through such a trashy divorce?
Quit dreaming about getting a divorce.
Hey, come on. Gosh.
I'll come again.
Think carefully about...
what is best for Soo A again. All right?
Jang Gi Yun!
(Civil Service Center)
Oh, hey. Are you here to visit Shin Ju Kyung?
But too bad.
I've already visited her today.
Why the heck are you here? You have no right to see her.
I demanded a divorce.
But Ju Kyung refused and held out.
"A divorce?"
Who are you to ask for one first?
She's barely hanging in there with her trial and miscarriage.
But a divorce?
Good grief. Really.
Aren't you praying for Shin Ju Kyung to get a divorce?
So why are you raging with fury?
- What? - You like Ju Kyung, don't you?
And she likes you back.
We're not in the relationship you're thinking of.
Come on. Let's be honest.
If you have no feelings for her,
what kind of crazy guy...
looks for an attorney for a losing case...
and visits her, just like you?
What kind of crazy guy with no feelings...
would drop everything and go far for one woman, just like you?
Because she's a nice woman!
I can't let a nice woman suffer because of a bad guy.
Anyone...
will go crazy if a nice woman...
suffers because of a bad guy, just like me.
Goodness. Hey.
You won't find an attorney.
Even if you do, you guys can't win.
Say that the deity comes. He still can't overturn this trial.
The law will take care of that.
"The law?"
That doesn't belong to you.
It belongs to wealthy people like me.
You see, the law...
is on the side of the wealthy and powerful like me.
Do you understand?
(Civil Service Center)
Goodness.
Give me everything from top to bottom.
You know my size, right?
Yes.
Jaclyn. Are you only buying for yourself?
What about mine?
Jaclyn! Can't you hear me?
What? Did you say something?
I asked if you were only buying yours.
Give me a moment.
Yes?
All right. I'll be there soon.
Mother, something came up at the gallery, so I must go.
Please take my stuff back home.
- Thank you. - Hey, Jaclyn.
Then give me your credit card! Hey!
Darn it!
Honey.
It seems like Ju Kyung can't find an attorney.
Do you know anyone?
I know lots of attorneys, but no one she can work with.
Why not? Goodness.
She lost her baby, and there's Soo A too.
What if she's imprisoned for a long time? That poor girl.
"That poor girl?" How can you say that about her?
If she committed a crime, she should be punished.
Good grief.
But still, help her out!
Please, Mr. Prominent Politician?
She killed her father-in-law!
Things will become very troublesome if I find an attorney and help her!
My votes. I'll lose my votes!
You and your votes!
Gi Yun went to see Ju Kyung and demanded divorce?
He did, that lunatic.
How can he do this?
I'm so angry because there's nothing I can do for her.
Should I go beg Gi Yun and ask him to help her?
Do you think he'll say yes?
I haven't tried it yet!
If I do, things may change.
You're really going to beg him?
I need to do something! I couldn't even find an attorney.
What are you here to say?
I'm not in good condition, so keep it short.
Gi Yun, please help Ju Kyung.
Please think of Soo A and help her.
Ms. Hong.
Please say that you didn't see her kill him...
and that you gave the wrong testimony.
Then she can reduce her sentence to an involuntary homicide.
Then she'll be put on probation, so she won't have to go to prison.
Please help her.
Are you asking me to bear false witness...
and say that I bore false witness?
Stop talking nonsense and go!
Ye Kyung.
I'll consider it in a positive light.
Really?
But I do have a term.
A term?
Divorce.
Tell her that I may let her be put on probation...
if she signs the divorce papers.
Yes, it's better to live as a divorcee than a murderer.
Ye Kyung.
The only way Ju Kyung can avoid living as a murderer is...
by divorcing me.
I'm not going to do that.
How could I say my witness was false?
What about my dignity?
Mom.
Now, this divorce is worth 100 million dollars.
We're exchanging your false witness with a divorce worth 100 million.
And telling the court you bore false witness isn't a big deal.
You don't even need to go to court.
All you have to do is simply turn in some paperwork with the attorney.
But still, it doesn't feel right.
Can't you do that for your son?
I'll take Ju Kyung's stocks and give some to you.
And you can also have all of Dad's death benefits.
I can have the stocks...
and the death benefits?
Once you tell the court about your false witness,
I'll have the media report you as a wonderful mother-in-law...
who forgives her daughter-in-law for murdering her husband...
for her granddaughter's sake.
I'm going to be the center of this wonderful story?
Of course. That way, WJ Entertainment can save our image.
I really won't have to go to court...
and turn in just some paperwork?
I'm telling you, Mom.
They had a fight.
Soo A, why did you fight with your friend?
She was my best friend,
but she teased me and said Mommy was a murderer.
Other kids said they wouldn't play with me...
if I played with you.
What happened to Soo A?
Go to your room and get some rest.
Okay.
Goodness.
What happened to her?
Her friend teased her and said...
her mom was a murderer, so she got into a fight.
How do kids like her know that and end up in a fight?
Goodness.
Your mommy needs to see how hurt you are...
to make her worry and come home quickly.
- Really? - Of course.
Why did you take these photos?
Show it to your wife.
And?
Her heart would break.
Let her know that her friends hit and bullied her daughter...
because they knew she was a murderer's daughter.
Then Ju Kyung won't hold out and sign the divorce papers.
Jaclyn, you're so clever.
Ju Kyung, Gi Yun will stop you from going to prison if you divorce him.
No.
I won't give him what he wants.
Ju Kyung!
If you get sentenced to 20 years, you'll be over 50 when you come out.
Can you live until then without seeing Soo A?
You need to clear up the suspicions surrounding your murder.
Do you want Soo A to live as a murderer's daughter?
Divorcing him is the only way for you to live...
and for Soo A to live.
You need to clear up the suspicions surrounding your murder.
Do you want Soo A to live as a murderer's daughter?
Divorcing him is the only way for you to live...
and for Soo A to live.
Soo A.
Is this really the best decision I can make for you?
(Dongbu Detention Center)
What is it?
Do you still feel that it's unfair that I'm demanding a divorce?
Look.
What happened to her?
At the kindergarten,
her friends hit and bullied her...
because she's a murderer's daughter.
Goodness, Soo A.
If you're her mom, don't let her live as a murderer's daughter.
Once Mom claims her witness is false...
and I make use of the media, it'll all end as an involuntary homicide.
I also don't want you...
to go to prison as a murderer for Soo A's sake.
Now.
Seal it.
(Shin Ju Kyung)
That's it.
Good. This is...
the stock transfer agreement.
And this will change the beneficiary for Dad's life insurance.
Give that to me.
The stock transfer agreement.
And the beneficiary change request.
Goodness, all done.
Everything is finally over.
You had a last bit of conscience as Soo A's mother.
Right.
So your manslaughter will be covered up...
but not your embezzlement.
What embezzlement?
Come on. The embezzlement that ended...
thanks to Dad for lack of evidence.
What was that?
The sentence for it will only be a couple of months.
Before you get released after your sentence,
you better atone for your sins in jail.
- Jang Gi Yun! - Hey.
Didn't you promise not to send me to jail?
This is different from what you said!
You're not human!
Jang Gi Yun!
Let go of me!
Jang Gi Yun!
(Civil Service Center)
(Divorce Application with Parental Authority)
Shin Ju Kyung.
I'm done with her.
(Civil Service Center)
(The Elegant Empire)
Call me Mommy now.
I'm as scary as your daddy.
Soo A. Are you doing well?
I'll be released after a few months. Wait for me.
Do you think Director Shin will be able to return to WJ?
Think carefully. You'll become NA Entertainment's first actor.
