(Episode 34)
(Legal advice, Woo Ji Hwan)
You'd have taken the fall if you hadn't been prepared.
Did you bring the fake pills to swap them with?
Of course I did.
Okay, then.
Will you give this video to the police?
No.
I'll keep it safe for now.
Then you'll let them arrest you?
You have the pills and video evidence.
Why play along when it's so clear you're not guilty?
While I'm detained,
I need you to do something for me.
What's in here?
The dashcam footage.
The dashcam footage?
Proof that it wasn't Tae Hyung...
who caught the serial killer.
(National Harmony Party, Nam Tae Hyung)
I told you to sort things out and you made it worse?
Are you trying to ruin your chances?
It's not true, sir.
There's a conspiracy.
There's a conspiracy? You say that after watching the clip?
I'll find the taxi driver...
Anyone can see you took the credit after doing nothing at all.
What good will meeting the taxi driver do?
Still, if he were to speak on my behalf...
Quit complaining and go to Woo Ji Hwan.
Plead with him or beg.
Make him say you're the actual hero.
Don't just stand there.
You put the whole party in a difficult situation.
Must you hurt our other candidates who are also running too?
I'll do as you say.
Mr. Woo, come on out.
You're free to go.
You say that so easily.
Shouldn't you at least apologize?
I'm sorry.
I won't let this go.
Find out who framed me and why.
When you catch the person,
give him a message.
That he'll pay dearly one day...
for abusing his power.
What happened?
His drug test came back negative and the pills were vitamins.
We had no reason to charge him.
You said you got the tip from a reliable source.
Darn it.
(Serving the people by the book)
Why was he released already?
Is this how you do your job?
You said you got the drugs from a reliable dealer. Why is he out?
I apologize.
What are you even doing?
Do you expect me to believe you didn't check the pills?
What now? The video's already giving me a headache.
I can't even get him locked up for the drug charges!
Hey, Ji Hwan. I'm glad you're out.
It was just for half a day, but you were locked up.
Shouldn't you have some tofu?
Okay. Take care.
Bye.
What happened to Ji Hwan? Why was he arrested?
Why did the police take him?
- Oh... - There's no way he'd have drugs.
That's why they released him.
I just talked to him, so don't worry.
How can I not worry when weird stuff keeps happening?
Ji Hwan was arrested and you opened for lunch?
He told me to go on as if things were normal.
Did he plan all this?
Did he get arrested on purpose?
You knew and didn't stop him?
Why are you like this too?
We're the only ones who can stop him now.
Jin Ho.
Ji Hwan's beyond stopping now.
I didn't want to say this,
but I don't think he'll go back to the old Ji Hwan.
So we should sit and do nothing?
This isn't how he does things. You know that.
Ju Hong.
Sol.
Why are you denying it?
It shows that Tae Hyung lied.
Why are you like this too, Father?
What'll you do about it now?
After all the bragging he did for catching a serial killer.
Will he get elected after this?
The video could've come from the rival party...
who's trying to smear his good name.
- Are your eyes not working? - Father.
Ji Hwan practically caught the guy,
and Tae Hyung jumped in and took the credit...
Why do you even keep those eyeballs in those sockets?
Whose side are you on?
- Ms. Ham. - What is it?
Tell me.
Hello.
I wondered whom to visit first, but you're both here.
- Ji Hwan's in Mother's office? - Yes.
I just want to save Sol's life.
You want to marry to save a child?
I cannot allow that.
A transplant requires a lengthy process.
There's no time for that.
Why isn't there? It's not like she'll die soon.
I have no other family left.
I lost my mother and sister.
That made me even more desperate to save my daughter.
I won't allow it.
Then Candidate Nam will fall.
Only I can explain away the video.
Allow me to marry Tae Hee, and I will sort it out.
Quit with the nonsense.
Keep your voice down.
He planned all this.
If we talk about planning, I think you're ahead of me on that.
- Shut your mouth. - Say the word...
and to the video,
I'll add that you framed me for having drugs.
I'll see to it that you never recover.
- Shall I do that? - How dare you threaten him?
Ask your son whether it's an empty threat.
Woo Ji Hwan.
Will you let Tae Hee out...
and allow us to marry?
That's all I need to know.
Shut your mouth.
"Candidate Nam identified the criminal first."
"I just happened to be there and jumped in to help."
"It was Candidate Nam..."
"who identified and arrested him."
I could tell the press that if you want.
Candidate Nam's fall or my marriage to Tae Hee.
Which of the two options do you dislike less?
The election is the day after tomorrow,
so I'll need to hear from you by tomorrow.
I'll leave you to discuss the matter.
We shouldn't have to hurt Sol too.
- Is it tasty? - Yes.
Why aren't you eating?
I was busy watching you eat and forgot.
I will eat now.
Did you and my dad fight?
Yes. How did you know?
You fought that day because of me.
Because I followed some woman.
It's not about that.
I know that Dad was so angry,
he said some nasty things to you too.
I'll try and tell him it was bad of him.
Don't be too upset.
I was sick ever since I was born,
and I don't have a mom,
so Dad gets really upset if something happens to me.
I see.
If you try to patch things up with him,
I bet he'll be really pleased.
Dad.
What are you doing?
Don't see Sol anymore.
Must I spell everything out to you?
Please, don't get involved in anything I do.
Did you release that video?
I remember when you came to the ER after the accident.
You scraped your arms and legs,
but you looked happy.
I didn't know it was because...
you helped an old woman keep her savings.
I didn't know it was because you caught a serial killer.
- Stop it. - You said then...
that even if no one else knew,
the fact that you'd done good...
was enough.
- You don't know what you're saying. - That's what you're like.
- I'm so sick of this. - Please.
Come back to being the Ji Hwan Sol and I know.
Please.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Grandfather.
- Let's go. - What?
Pack your stuff.
Are you giving your blessing?
You'll really let me marry Ji Hwan?
My gosh... What's going on?
I hadn't heard you'd been discharged and you're back?
Grandfather came to get me, so here I am.
Did she take a weird pill while she was away?
I expected her to scream.
Why is she so different from before?
I'll go up and unpack first.
Wait. So...
The only way that I can survive here now is...
Yes, that's it.
I must brownnose everyone.
Ms. Nam.
I'll make a nice cup of coffee and bring it up to you.
You must crave a cup right now after your stay in the hospital.
I'll be right up. It won't take long!
Ms. Ham. Guess what?
The chairman just brought Ms. Nam home.
What?
Okay, hang up.
Is the old man going senile or what?
"I'm in awe of his skill to take credit from others."
"He wants to be an assemblyman?"
"The motorcyclist needs to come forward."
"He looks normal so why..."
Your grandfather brought Tae Hee home.
What?
We shouldn't lose control.
With too many people watching, we can't send Ji Hwan away.
What was he talking about earlier? Was he framed for having drugs?
I don't know.
You really don't know?
I don't. How would I know that?
I'd rather step down than let Ji Hwan take the upper hand.
How can you say that?
You want me to go to him and beg, then?
Stay calm. You won't solve anything by getting agitated.
Can we come up with something by staying calm?
- Let's get help. - Mother.
Let's overcome the crisis and regroup.
You can make it to the vote if Ji Hwan will talk to the press.
This could become an opportunity.
Swallow your pride just this once.
And I'll take care of Ji Hwan so he never bothers you again.
Welcome home.
You look extremely happy.
I am. It's so nice to be back home.
Do you know what kind of mess you created for us?
Didn't I actually provide you with a way out?
- What? - You need Ji Hwan...
to speak to the press if Tae Hyung's to stay on track.
Watch your place. I'm barely holding back as is.
Come and sit down, everyone.
There is only one way out.
Go to Ji Hwan.
And you, arrange for Ji Hwan...
to marry Tae Hee.
Father, that's...
Do you want to see Tae Hyung fall?
I don't, but I can't allow Tae Hee to marry Ji Hwan.
I'll find a solution. Leave it to me.
Polls show Tae Hyung's popularity is plummeting.
What solution is there?
He lied to too many people to find another solution now.
No, even so, I can't let Tae Hee marry Ji Hwan.
Let's deal with the election first.
That's not what we agreed on.
Keep your mouth shut.
Go to Ji Hwan and ask for his help.
I need time to think.
Think all you want.
But that's the only option.
(Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan, Mom's Seolleongtang)
Did he say he'll let me marry Tae Hee?
Let's make one thing clear.
Until after the election, don't mention your demands.
What?
To me, that sounds like you'll change your tune after the election.
How would I look if you go public before I'm elected?
People will only think we colluded.
Today too, other than what you agreed to tell the press,
don't say anything else.
I'll answer the rest of the questions.
- See you later. - No, wait.
You haven't yet said the most important thing.
You need to ask for my help.
- What? - "Help me."
Say "please." To me.
Help me.
(National Harmony Party)
I am Woo Ji Hwan, a lawyer.
Regarding the video about...
the serial killer's arrest, I would like to explain.
The bottom line is...
all the assumptions about Candidate Nam...
are false and ungrounded.
The short clip makes it look like I apprehended the culprit,
but if you see this video, you will get what I mean.
Keep still!
At the time,
I wasn't aware he was into voice phishing...
or that he was a serial killer.
If I had, I'd have stayed away.
I happened to meet Candidate Nam on his way to work,
and he asked me to stop the motorcyclist.
I just followed him, not knowing what it was about.
As you saw in the video,
It was Candidate Nam who risked his safety...
and maybe even his life to apprehend the criminal.
Candidate Nam...
never lied about anything.
I hope that explains away any misunderstanding.
Candidate Nam did his duty as a prosecutor...
even when no one was there to watch.
He deserves applause and I hope that's what he gets.
Yes. I released that video.
In return for explaining what happened to get him elected,
I asked them to let me marry Tae Hee. I arranged it all.
Must he really go this far...
to marry her?
Dr. Baek, did you hear the news?
WIDE's chairman's granddaughter is getting married.
- What? - To a dirt-poor lawyer, I think.
People online are calling him a male Cinderella.
Hello, it's Baek Ju Hong.
(WIDE's Heiress Refuses Advances from the Rich to Marry a Poor Lawyer!)
You said you'd keep quiet until the election's over.
Did you just stab me in the back?
I didn't mean anything else. I just want you to honor our deal.
- What? - I do feel bad for you,
but I did what was best for me.
What's going on?
What is it now?
Read this.
The lawyer Tae Hee's going to marry is Ji Hwan.
(WIDE's Heiress Refuses Advances from the Rich to Marry a Poor Lawyer!)
What has Ju Hong been up to?
Did she not know this was happening?
Is that why he made such a huge show of breaking up with Ju Hong?
Don't sigh. It's for the best.
Maybe for us, but why Tae Hee of all people?
They're not close but she's still Ju Hong's friend. It's not right.
My goodness.
What are you doing here, Dr. Baek?
I'm here to see the chairman.
The chairman?
As soon as you broke up with the seolleongtang lawyer,
news of his engagement to Ms. Nam came out. You must be so upset.
You look so haggard.
Hello. Come into my study.
You don't have to serve any tea.
What?
What's going on?
What are they about to discuss that they're both so grim?
Since you saved my life,
you want me to do you a favor?
Don't allow Ji Hwan to marry Tae Hee.
You must stop them.
If you don't, they'll both suffer down the line.
Let me ask you something.
Why did Ji Hwan change so suddenly?
He said it's about his daughter.
Is that true?
I need to know...
if I'm to object or not.
That's how desperately I want to marry Tae Hee.
Forget it. Come to my office now.
Very well.
Why are you so polite?
You should tear them apart.
I must do this much to become a member of their family.
I'll have the article taken down. Don't worry.
What's the point in doing that? Others will repeat what was said.
They can post it a million times.
There won't be a wedding.
Hello, Reporter Kim.
The article about my daughter's marriage.
There's a problem with it.
Yes.
- Hang up. - What are you doing?
Hang up.
Before I expose what Tae Hyung did.
I'm really sorry. Can I call you back later?
What did Tae Hyung do?
You don't know enough to talk like that.
Do you remember this coat?
You wore it nine years ago, the night he caused the car accident.
What are you talking about?
The blood on this sleeve.
If I were to have it tested,
we could reveal right away who got Ji Hwan's mother hurt.
- What? - If I were to give this to Ji Hwan,
what would happen then?
If Ji Hwan were to get his hands on this,
could you and Tae Hyung...
both get away with what you did?
I'll do as you say. It's your call.
Shall I give this coat to Ji Hwan?
(The Secret House)
Look after Ju Hong.
It's good that you two broke up.
She'll come to her senses once she gets back on track.
Now do you remember?
Is that true? Is what Tae Hee said true?
Where are we going?
You're the ones who drove me this far.
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
I took care of Tae Hee.
What exactly did you do?
Do not weaken and keep laughing as you are now.
The good times will end soon.
