(Episode 37)
Will you say it again in front of the person in question?
So...
This Woo Ji Hwan came to me...
and told me to hand over my dashcam footage.
He said it would show him catching the serial killer.
And? Did you give it to him?
Yes.
He said we could get a million dollars if we showed it...
to Chairman Nam and offered to give me half.
This isn't true. There's no way Ji Hwan would do that.
Thank you for coming forward.
Mother.
Come with me.
He did that, then pretended to help Tae Hyung...
with a press conference.
He released the video and offered to "help" clean it up.
To use that to marry Tae Hee.
I never told him we should see the chairman.
There's nothing more to hear.
Get him out of my house.
Will you hear me out too?
Get him out of my house.
- Sir. - That's enough. Get out!
There must be a mistake. Why would Ji Hwan do such a thing?
There's no way he'd do that for money of all things.
At first, he did it for money,
but then he could've changed his mind.
"Oh, forget about 500,000 dollars."
"A video like this, if used well,"
"could make me part of the family." That's what he thought.
Am I wrong?
- Mother. - Father, go and rest.
I'll take care of it from here.
You're never short of things to say, so why are you so quiet now?
I will prove I didn't do such a thing.
Don't bother.
Proving what you're really like to my father-in-law...
was all I needed.
Don't even think of staying, okay?
Wait.
I thought you'd send a congratulatory text on my election.
You're here to complain?
You must know by now that Ji Hwan's on my side.
- So? - You wanted to expose me...
and reveal what I did.
There's no need to do that now.
I'm here to suggest a truce.
There were some problems along the way,
but I won in the end.
More than anyone, I want you to congratulate me.
I didn't vote for you.
I know. But you will next time.
The past doesn't matter.
Isn't it more important who you spend the future with?
I have nothing to say if you expect me to congratulate you.
- If that's all... - Date me.
Wouldn't it be nice to date an assemblyman?
I hate people who talk nonsense at the wrong times.
You shouldn't say such terrible things when you never know...
how things will turn out.
A future with someone who upsets me the more we talk?
Forget it.
Let's show the others.
Ji Hwan and Tae Hee shouldn't be the only ones to drop a bombshell.
What kind of idea is that?
If I were to date you,
Ji Hwan would feel messed up.
You have nothing to lose.
If we can get Ji Hwan to break up with Tae Hee,
you'll owe me then.
If they still don't break up,
you might as well show him by being my girlfriend.
Wouldn't that be decent payback in itself?
If you're a human being,
speak so another one can understand.
Him losing Tae Hee and then you in succession.
That's the ideal outcome I have planned for Ji Hwan.
If you say that again,
I'll treat you like the jerk you are.
Oh, dear.
It must be hard to stay sane while going up against him,
but Ji Hwan's really making me miserable.
Ji Hwan.
I'll take another day off to decorate Sol's room.
What's her favorite color?
I want to get her a desk and bed...
that she'll like.
Let's see.
Wouldn't it be best to cater to her taste?
No. How about I take her shopping?
I'll do that. I should let her pick things out.
Are you listening?
I think we should first sort out what just happened.
I don't care even if worse were to happen.
I trust you.
Let's go ahead with what we're doing.
- Ji Hwan? - I'll take care of it.
Let's talk later.
You're not giving up, are you?
Are you?
I wouldn't have started if I were to give up like this.
Okay. Let's talk again soon.
I told you to wait until I call you.
How much longer must I wait?
We're almost there. Just wait.
I can't. Get over here now.
- Hey. - If you're not here by five,
I'll go straight to the doctor. That's final.
You remember this coat, don't you?
Nine years ago, when Tae Hyung caused the accident,
you wore it.
What are you talking about?
The blood on the sleeve.
If we were to test the DNA,
it would show who got Ji Hwan's mother in trouble.
If Ji Hwan were to get this coat,
could either of you get away with it?
You brought me something that should be in the trash...
to talk nonsense?
Give it to me.
You burned it yourself in the backyard.
I looked for it everywhere at work...
and it was right under my nose.
She thinks she's clever.
This isn't fair.
I told you clearly...
that you can have it only when my marriage...
is steadfast.
You dared to toy with me?
This wouldn't be happening if you'd kept your word.
- Bring me the coat. - Then leave Ji Hwan alone.
Bring the coat first.
Approve of him first.
How dare you try to beat me?
Can you not give in to me just once?
I won't repeat myself.
Bring me that coat.
- Mother. - You don't have much time.
The upstairs gym.
I'm emptying it.
I'll decorate it for Sol.
The deal's as good as off.
Wake up from your pipe dream.
No. I'll prove you set a trap.
Your grandfather had the last word. Give up and move on.
You can set many more such traps but they won't work.
You should be the one to stop.
Ma'am!
You called for me, Ms. Ham?
The gym's becoming a storage room.
Put everything we don't use...
in that room without fail.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you thinking about?
Is something bothering you?
Ji Hwan.
Remember the taxi driver who came to see me?
A taxi driver?
Oh, the dashcam footage guy.
Ms. Ham bought him.
You got caught?
Is everything ruined?
I can't let that happen.
You said she found out.
I think I should use the guy to my advantage.
I'd like to know where he goes.
Can you track him down?
I can but...
what will you do when you find him?
I'll explain later. Let's get to it.
Okay.
Are you Mr. Woo Ji Hwan?
What brought you here?
Do you need legal advice?
I came to ask if you want to make some money.
- What? - Aren't you the one...
who actually caught the serial killer?
Will you just let it go...
when you have a witness right here?
Get to the point, please.
I have something worth quite a lot.
Dashcam footage from that day.
Dashcam footage?
It shows you in all your glory.
Let's use that...
to get 500,000 dollars and halve it.
Or shall we ask for a million and keep 500,000 each?
It's been a while since we got to eat in comfort.
If we'd known, we should've eaten at a hotel.
Sandwiches are nice and light.
I still have lots of people to thank, so I'm short on time.
We took care of Ji Hwan...
for good, right?
Your grandfather made up his mind.
There's no way he can come back.
And Tae Hee?
She got unexpectedly cornered,
so she'll complain but it won't last.
Don't worry.
I can't relax until their marriage is canceled and she's in the US.
It's not over until then.
I'll send Ji Hwan away too.
I'll see to it that he loses his restaurant...
and office and ends up on the street.
He won't last this one out.
Sol.
I was going to pick you up,
but something came up and I couldn't.
I bought your favorite ice cream.
Where is she?
Sol.
Sol?
Where did she go instead of coming home?
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Sol, how did you find your way here?
Did you come here on your own?
You should've called. It's far away from your school.
What did you take?
A bus.
- On your own? - Yes.
Your dad will be worried.
Come inside.
Why are you sweating so much?
- Sol. - I have a fever.
Let's go to the ER.
Don't scold her.
She came because she's sick, not to see me.
Sol.
Her doctor will be here soon.
Okay.
What she's doing is a cry for attention.
She tried talking and it didn't work,
so she's showing you she's suffering.
I can't put up with all her tantrums.
- Why not? - Forget it.
Even if it takes a while,
can't you tend to her first?
She's not even ten yet.
- I know that. - And you're doing this?
How could you...
How could you tell her you'll marry Tae Hee?
How is she to accept that?
I'm her dad.
I care for her more than anyone,
and I worry about her more.
So you just be her doctor. That's all I need.
What is this?
Assemblyman Nam bought us a safe.
And?
I'd put it in storage because you made such a fuss,
and I unpacked it today to check it out.
I found this inside it.
What is it?
- Money. - Money?
He's such a nuisance.
Return it to him.
I don't think that's my job.
Was this in there all along?
Yes.
We never thanked him.
He must think we spent it.
We won't thank him. I'm returning it.
You'll do that now?
Be careful. Don't lose it on the way.
Oh, dear.
Life is so unfair.
She hates the guy who likes her,
and can't get over the guy who dislikes her.
Goodness.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
You're being unreasonable.
I can't schedule the surgery when the kid has other issues.
You made it sound like it wouldn't take long.
Give me more time.
Pay me first, then.
How can I pay you before the surgery?
Then I'll go to the doctor.
Are you crazy?
You're the crazy one who hired me to be a stand-in donor.
Hey.
What was that about?
I think it's the same woman.
You're the one who isn't sticking to the deal.
If this gets out,
it won't be just me who goes down.
I know that.
Pay me first.
Tae Hee.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
- Are you sure? - You can go on your way.
Get back to your job.
She wants to be paid?
What for?
I told him to come to a nearby cafe.
A cafe?
Him coming to your office would look...
We can't give him money in a public place.
Tell him to come here after work hours.
Yes, ma'am.
Darn it. Won't security do their job?
Don't blame the innocent guards.
I pretended to be an employee...
in case they stopped me.
- Come with me. - Leave him.
Get back to work.
Okay.
Why are you here?
You met my father-in-law...
and told him all sorts of things...
including how An Kyung Sun was still alive.
I didn't make anything up, so don't complain.
Pass this on for me.
What are you talking about?
Your son gave it to me to congratulate me on opening a store.
Don't just give him the money.
Tell him also to stop coming after my daughter.
Watch what you say. Who's after whom?
Can't you tell what that means?
Don't you know your son at all?
He can't marry Ju Hong, whatever happens.
You must know very well why not.
I've done my part.
Keep a rein on your son from now on.
What were you talking about?
Why can't Ju Hong and I...
Ask your mother if you want to know.
What was that about?
Do you and Mr. Baek have a problem?
No, we don't.
He talked as if there's a reason I can't be with Ju Hong.
Why did you go and give him this?
They don't deserve such a sum.
Be careful and don't cause any trouble.
I will marry Ju Hong, whatever you say.
- What? - After Tae Hee's sorted out.
I found a lawyer to get her marriage license revoked.
Call him.
You can't marry Ju Hong.
Why not?
Give me a reason I can accept.
Gosh...
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Let her drink lots of water...
- and get a lot of quality sleep. - Okay.
It won't be good for her if she keeps having fevers.
She needs to be free of stress...
if she's to get through this.
I understand. Thank you.
Dad.
Hi, Sol. How do you feel?
I feel much better now.
That's good to hear,
but you should've called me, not come here on your own.
What if you got lost?
Ju Hong.
Your fever went away while you slept.
I'll take her home. Thanks.
Try not to get sick and enjoy your dinner.
Can I eat with you?
I want to.
Let's go home, Sol. Get up.
- Hi, Jin Ho. - The taxi driver.
He's on his way to Ms. Ham's office.
Is he?
Okay, I'll come right over.
Hey, Jin Ho.
Can you come to the hospital for Sol?
Okay, thanks.
Sol. Jin Ho's on his way. Wait for him.
Don't bother Jin Ho. I get off soon. I'll take her home.
No. Let Jin Ho get her.
Okay, Sol? Go home with Jin Ho.
- Let's call Jin Ho. - What?
Tell him not to bother so you can take me.
Okay.
Shall we do that?
I said I have nothing more to say to you.
Why do you keep pestering me?
I have something urgent to tell you.
You must see for yourself.
I have no reason to talk to you.
Your money is at stake.
What? My money?
Can you come over to your company?
Be here and you'll see for yourself.
No. I won't be there.
Who was that on the phone?
Did someone ask for a loan?
Did everyone leave for the day?
Yes. I checked.
Take a seat.
I just came here to get paid.
Sign this first.
Sign what?
I can't be sure what you'll blabber...
once you leave my office.
What would I even say?
I'd be digging my own grave.
Yes, but I saw too many people do that.
Go on. Sign the contract.
If you go against your word, you'll be brought back here.
And if that happens,
I can't guarantee your safety.
Do you understand?
Of course.
Move far away, where we won't meet again. Okay?
I have something worth quite a lot.
Dashcam footage from that day.
Dashcam footage?
It shows you in all your glory.
Let's use that...
to get 500,000 dollars and halve it.
Or shall we ask for a million and keep 500,000 each?
What's that?
Darn it.
Stop!
My goodness.
How dare you keep coming in here?
So I was right.
You bought him to frame me.
So what? Are you upset?
I'll tell the chairman the truth.
Will you play him that same recording?
I can always say it was made up.
No. I'll go to the chairman...
and show him I didn't do anything.
As if the old man would believe you.
The chairman has been powerless for a long time.
I've been manipulating him for ages.
What do you think you can show him?
Is that what you think?
Father. What are you doing here?
Woo Ji Hwan, you...
See?
You can't beat me ever again.
(The Secret House)
What happened that they're all so serious?
How did you ruin it so badly?
How will we stop him now?
We have to get rid of the root cause.
Do you think I'll accept you because...
you pretend to help Tae Hyung?
Can you stop suspecting me...
and take my sincerity for what it is?
This will be the last time we discuss this.
What does that mean?
You know very well what it means.
