(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(All child actors were shot under supervision.)
It wasn't me.
I didn't put him up for this!
Something is wrong!
Let go of me! Let go!
- Let go! - Stay still!
Let go of me! I'm Jang Gi Yun!
Let go!
Seriously? Was Jang Gi Yun really behind it?
You saw the video.
Mr. Tak wouldn't move without the chairman's order, would he?
His job is to carry out Chairman Jang's orders.
I knew Chairman Jang had a nasty personality.
But if he really instigated murder...
That's terrible.
If Jang Gi Yun really did it,
- the agency would go down. - For real?
- Yes. - What do we do?
- We better start packing. - This is bad.
(Police)
Sung Gu. Why did you do it?
Why did you do something you weren't told to do?
Detective. I'm innocent.
I never tried to kill Yang Hee Chan.
Detective. Who does that without their superior's order?
Jang Gi Yun must've ordered the hit.
And Tak Sung Gu would've carried that order out.
Please investigate the case thoroughly.
Understood.
Detective. The video Jung Woo Hyuk handed over is fake.
It's been manipulated.
It's a manipulated fake video?
Quit being unreasonable!
Who would hand in a manipulated video to the police as evidence?
I formally request the video...
to be verified for its authenticity first.
- Chairman Jang! - Attorney Bong.
Understood.
Detective. The rest you can talk...
with my attorney.
Oh, my.
The chairman is in his office, yes?
Is he?
- Well... - He went out for a bit.
But we planned to have lunch together.
Where did he go?
You see...
The police arrested him for instigating...
Mr. Yang Hee Chan's murder.
What? The police did?
Yes.
That's nonsense!
Hee Jae. Let's talk in private.
What do you mean the police arrested Gi Yun?
It's as I told you.
He was arrested for instigating Mr. Yang's murder.
Did you do nothing as the police...
dragged Gi Yun away?
That's right.
You reported him to the police, didn't you?
To drive Gi Yun to a corner,
did you pin a fake crime on him and report him to the police?
If he's innocent, the police will release him.
It was Hee Jae.
Hee Jae must be using all sorts of means...
to put Gi Yun behind bars.
I can't believe Gi Yun got arrested by the police.
I hope he's all right.
Mr. Jang. You ordered Tak Sung Gu to murder Yang Hee Chan, right?
How much longer will you plead the Fifth?
With the evidential video,
you'll be taken into custody for questioning.
"Into custody for questioning?"
Being a big shot in this country must be a sin.
With my upcoming casino business,
people are trying to set me up and defame me.
Investigate Jung Woo Hyuk first.
He's doing this to frame me.
When Mr. Yang got into the hit-and-run accident,
Mr. Tak was working in his office.
I'm handing in CCTV footage from Mr. Tak's office...
as evidence.
Then what about Tak Sung Gu's video Jung Woo Hyuk handed in?
It's a fake video made with Deepfake technology.
Please verify the authenticity of that video first.
Darn it. Things have gotten complicated.
Until the video's authenticity is verified,
Jang Gi Yun is to be questioned without detention.
Understood.
Yes? What?
"A manipulated video?"
But releasing him is...
Then we must release Tak Sung Gu as well.
Create and hand in a fake video...
of Sung Gu at his office at the time he caused the accident.
Understood.
Jung Woo Hyuk. How dare you push me off the cliff like this?
Darn it.
Just wait.
I will pay back what you did to me.
Although you've escaped the crisis...
as I did as you ordered and created an alibi for Mr. Tak...
by turning in a fake video of him working in this office,
you'll fall into danger if the truth comes out.
Life is always dangerous. It's like gambling.
We can decide...
what to do when we actually face the danger.
If Sung Gu, the suspect, disappears,
their investigation will face a dead end.
Go off the grid as of this hour.
Stay hidden until I contact you.
All right. Understood.
Sung Gu.
Say that the police arrest you.
What will you tell them?
"The chairman didn't order the hit. I did it voluntarily."
"The chairman has nothing to do with Yang Hee Chan's accident."
What the...
What's this? Wasn't Jang Gi Yun undergoing an arrest investigation?
I know, right?
Why do you all look shocked?
I'm guessing you were worried about me.
The police concluded I was innocent and released me.
Jung Woo Hyuk is picking a fight to take over WJ Entertainment.
That Oh Na Hee incident...
and framing me for this accident.
But don't worry about a thing.
No matter how much Woo Hyuk harasses and defames me,
I'm indestructible.
Gi Yun was released?
But I turned in that video. How did that happen?
Gi Yun's attorney...
claimed that the video we turned in was fake...
and requested an authenticity verification.
Furthermore, they handed in a video...
of Mr. Tak working in his office...
when the hit-and-run accident happened as evidence.
The police couldn't keep Chairman Jang in custody...
when Mr. Tak's alibi was proven.
The video Jang Gi Yun turned in is the real fake one.
Of course, we pointed that out strongly.
The police will verify the videos first.
It will take some time before the verification results...
are out for both videos.
Once again, Gi Yun slipped away like a snake.
While the videos are being verified,
he'll make the suspect, Tak Sung Gu, run away.
With that, the investigation will be at a dead end. He was after that.
Chairman Jang Gi Yun is sure daring.
Who knew he would hand in a fake video to the police?
He keeps escaping the hands of the law.
Can we really make him pay for his crimes?
Goodness. Hey, Chang Sung.
It's me, Sung Il. Why can't you recognize me again?
Really, dementia is the worst illness.
Just a minute ago, you were your old self.
But you've forgotten everything already.
I'm here, Father.
Ju Kyung. I'm bored.
What? You still recognize Ju Kyung...
even when you aren't in your sound mind.
Anyway, I heard Gi Yun got arrested and was sent to a police station...
for questioning.
He was released.
Already?
There was the video as evidence. How was he released that quickly?
Gi Yun claimed that the video was fabricated,
so he requested a detailed analysis.
What?
How can Gi Yun be that shameless?
There seems to be no way of punishing Gi Yun by the law.
Director Seo.
All we have to do is expose Chang Sung's existence...
to turn Gi Yun into the worst son in history.
Why do you let him get away with this?
Father's dementia has gotten worse.
Even if I expose that he's still alive,
Gi Yun won't suffer that hard.
Instead, it could give a ground for him to counterattack.
I must tread carefully.
Gi Yun and Hye Rim...
cannot do this to Chang Sung.
Especially Hye Rim. She just can't do this to him.
What about Mother?
She pretends like she's someone from a prestigious family...
with a great educational background, who had to run to a rural area...
when her family was ruined.
But that's not the truth.
A prestigious family? My foot.
She's an orphan...
who slaved away at a pig farm since when she was young.
Then, she got pregnant with a child of the farm owner who was married.
What? My mother-in-law?
Chang Sung went there on a business trip,
then fell for her at first sight.
Then, Hye Rim lived her life...
pretending Gi Yun was Chang Sung's son.
Chang Sung knew everything, but he took her in nonetheless...
and raised Gi Yun as if he were his own.
Father embraced Mother,
although he knew everything.
Chang Sung knew everything,
but he felt bad for Hye Rim and the baby in her womb.
So, he said he'd take them in as his responsibility.
Hye Rim lived a good life...
as the wife of a chairman,
thanks to Chang Sung.
So how can she treat him like this?
She's such an ungrateful woman.
I didn't know they shared a story like that.
I wanted to expose everything when Gi Yun kicked me out...
of WJ Entertainment.
But I decided to keep it quiet...
until the day I died, for Chang Sung's sake.
Those two owe their lives to Chang Sung,
but when I see how they treat him, I can't help but get mad.
I just can't contain my anger.
Yet Father was worried...
that something bad would happen to Gi Yun...
and blamed himself for not bringing him up well.
He had been tormented.
That's exactly why I'm infuriated.
I don't understand why he covers for a punk like Gi Yun,
calling him his son.
He's not even his real son!
Chairman Jang, why have things been chaotic around you lately?
First, a scandal about using Oh Na Hee to entertain a politician,
and then you were questioned by the police...
for instigating Mr. Yang's murder.
Will this cause inconvenience to the casino business?
There is no problem.
And people have been protesting to nullify the casino bill.
It's all because we don't have someone powerful behind us.
We need a new powerful connection like Yang Hee Chan...
to support us in the political world.
I'm looking for someone right now,
so don't worry about it.
Chairman Jang!
All of our lives depend on this casino business.
We got this far without any problem.
Don't let our hard work come to nothing.
I told you all not to worry!
It's me, Jang Gi Yun!
If I want something,
I always get it no matter what it is.
Also,
I never let anyone steal...
something I have in my hands. Okay?
Anyway, Mother. Is there a special occasion?
Why did you make so much food?
Gi Yun was questioned by the police today.
That innocent man must've been harassed so much.
He probably has no appetite,
so I need to do whatever I can to make sure he eats.
I'm glad to see his release so quickly.
Hee Jae worked with Jung Woo Hyuk...
and reported him to the police.
No way.
Hee Jae wouldn't do that as long as Soo A was around.
"Soo A?" Do you think she cares about Soo A?
She faked her own death...
and came back into our lives to steal Gi Yun's business.
You must be annoyed to see...
that Gi Yun got released by the police so quickly.
Why did you come back into our lives?
You came back...
to ruin Gi Yun,
take Soo A, and steal his business, right?
- Yes. - What?
Gi Yun tried to kill me,
but Ye Kyung died in my place.
And you made me lose the baby I was pregnant with,
then I was sent to prison.
So? Don't you think I am entitled to get such revenge?
Things won't go according to your plan.
You've been blackmailing Gi Yun and me...
by using your father-in-law,
but that won't last too long.
If you do not cooperate with Gi Yun from this day on,
I will not sit on my hands for his sake!
A parent is supposed to reprimand their child when they do wrong.
But you're doing him worse...
with your twisted love.
It's not too late to admit to everything you did...
and receive your punishment for your son's sake!
I didn't do anything wrong, so why would I be punished?
Right, there was something I did wrong.
It was that I once considered...
a lowly girl like you as my daughter-in-law!
Did you just say I was lowly?
What about you?
You were an orphan too. How could you despise me like that?
You lived like a slave at a pig farm.
She was an orphan?
That's not all.
How can you do this to Father,
who raised Gi Yun like his own, knowing he wasn't a biological son?
Oh my gosh. Gi Yun wasn't Father's biological son?
No way.
Who told you this nonsense?
Mother, I cannot believe you're an orphan.
This is breaking my heart.
I knew you always grew on me,
and I always wondered why.
It was because you also had a dark history like me.
I said no!
I am an only daughter of an affluent family,
and Gi Yun is the chairman's biological son!
You don't have to lie anymore, Mother.
I understand everything.
Now that I found out you had a lowly and gloomy history,
I began to want to side with you even more.
I just said no!
Gi Yun!
Babe! I feel so bad for Mother.
I'll be really good to her from now on.
Our histories are similar.
Well, I didn't have to work at a pig farm.
Gi Yun!
Gosh, she was an orphan,
yet she despised me because I was adopted?
And what's with Gi Yun?
He wasn't even Father's real son, yet he put on so much air.
Good work, Hee Jae.
I wouldn't have found out if It weren't for you.
Both Gi Yun and Mother are...
nothing but a ball of inferiority complex.
I'm sorry, Gi Yun.
I wasn't trying to deceive you.
Mother, you weren't only daughter of an affluent family,
but an orphan.
Why did you lie to me too?
I was ashamed.
I wanted to forget that history.
I was so miserable that I wanted to hide that...
even from my own child.
That was why.
In the end,
I got my genes from a father who was addicted to alcohol and gambling...
and a mother who was a lowly orphan.
I was nothing but a disgusting, lowly man.
Who cares about your genes?
How you were raised was more important.
That was why I wanted to bring you up as the best.
I fed you and clothed you...
with only the best,
and you always got the best private tutors too.
I didn't want you...
to go through the poverty and contempt I experienced.
I wanted to do everything I could for you...
and help you rise to the top.
That is how you're in that position right now.
You have the right to enjoy everything...
and rule over the whole world.
Because you're my son, Gi Yun.
My dear Gi Yun.
You're all that I have.
Gi Yun.
(Jung Capital)
What could definitely destroy Jang Gi Yun...
is the corruption evidence in his safe.
Didn't you say the safe in his study disappeared?
Where could it be?
We must find that safe.
We have to find whatever we can...
to put Gi Yun in distress.
- Sung Il. - You scared me.
Chang Sung.
You got your memories back for a short while last night.
But it came back early today.
Is my dementia that bad?
Yes. It's on the bad side.
Sung Il.
I must meet with Gi Yun...
while I'm my old self.
Why?
I want to tell him...
that the sinful life he has lived until now...
can't be turned back.
But that he must change for the future.
If Gi Yun keeps living that way,
he will meet a miserable end.
Gi Yun had turned you...
into a dead man. He's an unfilial son.
And yet, you're worried about him?
Whether he's good or bad, Gi Yun is still my child.
He has done nothing wrong.
Because I failed...
to raise him well, things ended up like this.
Stop being mean.
While my mind is clear,
help me meet Gi Yun.
All right.
But not today. A few days later, okay?
Chang Sung.
I guess you want to defend Gi Yun since he's your son.
But I can't forgive him.
Gi Yun should've given Hee Chan...
a chance to turn himself in.
He put Hee Chan in that state...
when Hee Chan was determined to go to the police.
I really can't forgive him.
I will report to the media...
that you're alive.
- This is bad! - What?
What happened, Ji Tae?
Chairman Jang Chang Sung, Chairman Jang's father, is alive.
Ji Tae. Do you have so much free time...
after the weekend drama ended?
Did you lose some brain cells because you don't have any work?
Good grief. Where's the remote control?
Here's a breaking news.
- It's all over the news. - With the tip-off that WJ's...
Chairman Jang Chang Sung, the deceased whose funeral was held,
is alive,
a video of him proving he is alive...
has been opened to the media, leaving many in shock.
See that? Chairman Jang Chang Sung is alive.
My gosh.
This can't be true.
I even attended Chairman Jang's funeral.
So did all of us.
What on earth is happening?
Can't that be a fake video?
Or a video that was taken when he was alive?
Chairman Jang Chang Sung is going to do a livestream tonight.
So he must be alive.
If Jang Gi Yun put on this show and declared his living father dead,
it's the end of him.
He will become the icon of immorality.
Whether Ms. Hong Hye Rim, Chairman Jang's wife,
knew he was alive or not...
- Oh, no! - What's with all the ruckus?
Ms. Hong is aware of this situation...
- You see... - Get out of my way!
but refuses any sort of interview.
Chairman Jang Chang Sung will soon make...
an official announcement through a livestream.
With the continuous tip-off that the late Chairman Jang Chang Sung...
of WJ Entertainment is alive,
it has become the topic of conversation.
- According to the tip-off, - Hee Jae.
- Was this you? - Chairman Jang Gi Yun...
made his father...
look like he was dead and had hidden him all along.
If everything turns out to be true...
- Seriously, go back! - Quiet down!
There are no interviews today!
- Chairman Jang! - What do you have to say?
- Is your father really alive? - Stop pushing!
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Send in more security guards. Make them stop the reporters.
Are you in there?
Seo Hee Jae. How dare you stab me in the back?
No interviews are allowed!
Give us a statement, Chairman Jang!
Put that down!
What is the truth? Please tell us!
Mom! Chairman Jang Chang Sung is alive.
I told you to attend the store.
- So what's with this nonsense? - Bit Na.
How did you know Chairman Jang was alive?
I'm not the only one who knows.
It's on the news. The whole world knows.
What?
Woo Hyuk. Is Chairman Jang alive?
Didn't he pass away?
No. Jang Gi Yun...
lied and held Chairman Jang's funeral...
to take the chairman position from Ju Kyung.
My goodness.
How could he deceive others...
by telling them his living father was dead?
Honey. Did you know about it?
That Gi Yun was the worst immoral son?
Now that the world knows Chairman Jang is alive,
Jang Gi Yun won't sit still and do nothing.
With the tip-off that Chairman Jang Chang Sung is alive,
a video of him proving he is alive has been opened...
- to the media, - It's goodbye to Jang Gi Yun.
leaving many in shock.
If only that would happen.
Jang Gi Yun will slip out again one way or another.
When I exposed the wine and dine with the politician,
he counterattacked and said it was a self-fabricated scenario.
Do I look like someone who would come up with a story?
No, you don't.
Thanks for saying that.
Only smart people can plot a self-fabricated scenario.
I don't think you're capable of doing that.
With the continuous tip-off that the late Chairman Jang Chang Sung...
- of WJ Entertainment is alive, - Hee Jae just had to expose that...
- it has become the topic... - Chairman Jang...
was alive, didn't she?
How could she?
That disgusting wench.
I wonder if it was really Hee Jae who made the tip-off.
Who else could it have been?
Mother. The biggest problem right now isn't the news.
It's Father's upcoming livestream.
Hee Jae must've ordered him to do it.
Your father-in-law always listened...
to Ju Kyung ever since way back.
- Did you tuck Soo A into bed? - Yes.
I warned you, didn't I?
That I would punish you if you ran wild.
Are you scared?
Scared because the world knows Father is alive?
I guess you're not scared.
Soo A will soon find out that her grandpa is alive and not dead.
Have you not thought about how shocked she would be?
And you still call yourself a mom?
Seo Hee Jae. It was you, right?
The one who took a video of Dad and exposed it to the media.
It wasn't me.
But it was a truth that would come to light one day.
That day only came sooner, didn't it?
Jang Gi Yun. It's not too late to turn yourself in now.
Confess all your crimes to the police.
Why should I do that? Nothing scares me now that...
everyone knows Dad is alive.
Seo Hee Jae. Do you want me to kill you again?
Babe! Father is on a live-stream channel!
(Live, 23,000 watching)
(The Elegant Empire)
You'll never win against me.
Do try as much as you can to run amok,
and I'll trample on you every single time.
Tak Sung Gu works for Gi Yun.
He must know a lot about Gi Yun too.
I'm sure he probably knows where the missing safe is.
I will never forgive.
I need to throw Hee Jae into a trap she can't escape from.
When I fight against a lunatic, I must also become a lunatic.
This is the last stage of my war with Gi Yun.
