(Episode 110)
We both have to be questioned?
Only as persons of interest.
I won't go.
Then you'll end up a suspect.
Trust this one-time deputy head prosecutor.
Don't irritate the prosecution and make things worse.
You're the one who poisoned Ms. Ma.
Aren't you afraid?
What if I were to go in and tell them everything?
What are you saying? You asked me...
to get rid of Ms. Ma.
Don't you remember giving me the poison?
You said 1 or 2 drops would put her down peacefully.
We're free to say what we want.
Even if I gave you something worse than poison,
I didn't think you'd go through with it.
I only granted my dear love Ma Se Young's wish.
When I go in to be questioned,
shall I say you gave me the poison?
- Hey. - What?
Se Young.
Listen.
I know of...
a way that can get us both out.
Will you hear it?
What is it?
Seol...
Yu Gyeong.
You poisoned her?
Why would you make that stupid confession?
I'd dreamed of it for over 30 years.
If determination alone could kill, would I have stopped at once?
I'd have killed her 10, 20 times.
I know you have a long-standing grudge.
Words aren't enough...
to describe what I felt for Ms. Ma.
So...
I wanted to kill her.
You, the girl who looked exactly like the only woman my husband loved.
Your existence alone was too much for me,
and I had to accept your daughter too?
Is that why you tried to...
kill Mi So in a fire?
And as if that wasn't enough, you got Ji Ho...
to try to kill her again?
Yu Gyeong...
You're a witch, and one worse than a beast!
You tried to kill my daughter twice!
- I swear I'll kill you today. - Yu Gyeong!
You witch. Die!
Die, you witch!
Die!
Who gave you permission?
Who forgave you?
Why did you let go of your sanity?
I haven't forgiven you yet.
Why are you here looking like you've been saved?
You...
should never be blessed with the luxury...
of slowly losing your mind.
I can't let you die peacefully,
with no memory of what you did wrong.
Do you think anyone else has spent...
this long a time hating and resenting just one person?
I couldn't forgive Ma Hyun Duk who lost her memory without permission.
You know that...
intent to kill alone doesn't make you a murderer.
We all feel the urge to kill someone in our lifetime.
The day Ma Hyun Duk died.
Why did you go to the care home?
I had something to say to her.
That's why I went.
But Ms. Ma was already dead.
She was already dead?
(Cheonha Care Home)
Ma Hyun Duk.
Ma Hyun Duk. Get up.
Open your eyes.
You can't die like this.
Ma Hyun Duk!
She was already dead when I reached her room.
And her body was clean.
Why didn't you tell me sooner that you'd been there?
I thought my curse...
was what had killed her.
And I thought she deserved to die, whoever it was who did it.
I left her room to report it to Director Min.
I never imagined she'd have been poisoned.
Do you think...
Ji Ho did it?
It was either Ji Ho or Se Young or...
They could be accomplices?
We should find out soon.
But what's for sure is that...
they told the same story.
Both Ji Ho and Se Young...
named you as the culprit.
If you're sure she was poisoned, who do you think did it?
Vice-chairwoman Seol will have poisoned my adoptive mother.
She was your mother at one time.
That's why I was hesitant...
and reluctant to say this.
Why are you so convinced it was her?
Because she'd always told me...
to get rid of Ms. Ma.
Don't be ruined.
Don't be used so cruelly either.
Be the one to ruin them.
Ms. Ma and Ji Ho. Use them cruelly.
That's your way out.
She kept egging me on, as if casting a spell on me.
"Kill Ms. Ma. Take her down."
So you succumbed to her gas-lighting...
and poisoned Ms. Ma?
No!
I saw Ms. Seol at the care home that day.
Ms. Seol.
- What is it? - I must report it.
What?
Mother.
- Is she dead? - Yes.
I'll call Director Min.
Wait.
Did you...
kill her?
I'd have killed her a hundred times over if I'd wanted to.
Unfortunately for me, she was dead when I got here.
As her adoptive daughter, you should be prepared.
- Okay. - Anyway,
doesn't this work in your favor?
I still remember it so clearly.
My adoptive mother, my mother...
I saw Seol Yu Gyeong wipe her blood.
How am I to know you're telling the truth?
Isn't it your job to find the proof?
As a person of interest in the case,
I'm cooperating and telling everything I know.
So there are no witnesses or proof...
to back your story?
Wait.
I was heading to the parking lot, all shaken up,
and then I saw Yoo Ji Ho's car.
He must've been at the care home too.
It's possible he knew that...
Seol Yu Gyeong had poisoned my mother.
Chairman Yoo?
If you're sure she was poisoned, who do you think did it?
I'm almost sure who it was.
It was...
Seol Yu Gyeong.
Why are you so sure it was her?
She wanted me to fight for her from the start.
I want you to bring down Ms. Ma...
and become Cheonha Group's chairman.
And then I will take you down.
From that throne you took.
Isn't it too much for you?
The thing is,
what you're saying is rubbing me the wrong way.
You seem to underestimate me.
If you don't like being underestimated,
get rid of Ms. Ma soon.
She challenged me.
She used Se Young and my desires...
and hoped to get revenge for her 30-year grudge.
So, out of resentment for Ms. Ma,
she got to you and Ma Se Young and shook you up...
to complete her revenge without getting her hands dirty, is that it?
Exactly.
But when that didn't work,
she poisoned the old woman herself.
If you're wrong, you could be sued for making false accusations.
I saw it.
Ms. Seol was in the room...
pretending to be me.
I saw her...
poison my grandmother with my own eyes.
There were some oddities or discrepancies in their stories,
but a lot of it matched too.
Did you get the security footage?
The system was under repair that evening.
They want to make me guilty for Ms. Ma's poisoning.
They must've come up with the story...
after they were asked to come in.
I hoped they would fight each other,
but I got stabbed in the back instead.
I believe to the end that...
you're not the killer.
Can you...
acquit me with your belief alone?
I'll find proof. I swear.
Where are Ji Ho and Se Young?
They left after giving their statements.
Why are you saying my wife is guilty?
You only have their statements.
What are you up to, Prosecutor Yoon?
I'm just as flustered, sir.
Didn't you say you were gathering evidence on Yoo Ji Ho?
Yes, I was.
The slush fund, embezzlement, and then murder.
You said we just had to bring him in!
But then both he and Ma Se Young mentioned Ms. Seol.
Why did you even take them seriously?
The truth is, it's not just about their statements.
In Ms. Seol's office, we found the poison that was in the pomegranate tea.
What?
Well done, Se Young.
I hope that's the end of it.
It will be.
He'll be busy grilling Seol Yu Gyeong now.
Do you think you and I can take her down?
You bet it. She's done for now.
Your idea to leave the bottle of poison in her office was stellar.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
It'll be fine as long as you don't waver.
Why would I waver?
Your memories of her as your mom.
They always make you weak.
Those memories always made me nastier.
Because I want even more to remain Ma Se Young.
I hope that never changes.
I hope that...
you don't change your mind about deciding to take my side.
I won't. Cheers.
Why did you ask to see me here?
My mom poisoned Ms. Ma?
That's just nonsense.
It's not nonsense. It's a fact.
You and Se Young set a trap, didn't you?
The investigation will reveal...
if, like you said, Se Young and I set her up,
or if your mom actually did poison Ms. Ma.
It was you. You poisoned Ma Hyun Duk.
Bring the proof.
The more you find, the more devastated you'll become.
Everything will point to your mom being the killer.
Yoo Ji Ho.
I told you to leave my mom alone.
That if you did, you'd experience anything beyond your imagination...
that makes you think living is worse than death.
You said that when I was Kang Ji Ho.
It'll take you a while to wake up.
You always were Kang Ji Ho.
Don't be silly.
I am Yoo Ji Ho and will be forever.
I don't care if you're Kang Ji Ho or Yoo Ji Ho.
Every day will be torture.
You have no future anymore.
Because I will shred it for you.
Let's see what you can do.
It was Ms. Seol?
She poisoned my grandmother?
You won't believe it, but yes.
You saw her and so did Ji Ho?
Yes.
Let's say you did see her.
How did you know Ji Ho saw her too?
What do you think?
I was given information that that's what Ji Ho said.
You got the information? From whom?
You keep forgetting,
but I've been Ma Hyun Duk's daughter for a while now.
Do you enjoy using my dead grandmother's power...
to pretend to be her?
What?
I'll soon reveal...
that you and Ji Ho...
poisoned my grandmother.
(Seoul Western Detention)
Mom.
Are you well?
You're okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm glad you're here.
I was waiting for you.
Okay. We're ready to listen.
From now on, I need you to make Ji Ho...
and Se Young believe that I'm a guilty suspect.
What?
Why should we...
To make them lower their guard.
Hye Soo, meet with Kim Chang Seok, the MBS reporter.
- Okay. - Minister Joo...
will handle the legal side.
- And In Ha. - Yes.
Counterattack An Hee Young.
"Counterattack?"
Figure out what she did in my office.
(Hangang Capital CEO Stanley)
Come in.
Take a seat.
Why am I here?
As a major shareholder, I took a look into Cheonha's finances.
You sold Cheonha Gallery's paintings to amass a slush fund.
And all that was done in your name.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Then I'll help you understand.
It should be on now.
This is Kim Chang Seok's In-depth Report.
Cheonha's Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong...
was arrested for Ma Hyun Duk's suspected poisoning,
and is currently in a detention cell.
According to the prosecution,
there is evidence that is almost incriminating.
Here's an interview with care home director Min Soo Hyuk.
About an hour before Ms. Ma died,
Vice-chairwoman Seol came to the care home.
She wasn't Ms. Ma's legal guardian,
but I permitted a visit because she's the vice-chairwoman.
The snacks and pomegranate tea that she'd brought...
had been poisoned.
Director Min's good enough to take up acting.
That's not all.
- Nothing's sweeter than money. - Ms. Ma's personal journal...
had blood on it.
Tests concluded that the blood contained a lethal poison.
A bottle of the poison identical to...
what Ma Hyun Duk had taken...
was found in Ms. Seol's office.
With so much evidence and even a witness pointing to her guilt...
Seol Yu Gyeong.
It looks like Seol Yu Gyeong...
You're paying for abandoning me.
It won't be let off easily.
Now rot in prison for what you didn't do.
It's said that...
Branded a murderer.
Seol had a personal grudge.
The late chairman Yoo Hyung Seok's long-lost daughter Seol Yu Gyeong.
And his second wife Ma Hyun Duk.
Did Seol Yu Gyeong...
really poison Ms. Ma?
It's said there are many stories yet untold about them.
What does this have to do with me?
This report only proves...
Ms. Seol poisoned Ms. Ma.
Why did we have to watch this together?
Because I know...
you have the real evidence somewhere.
What do you say?
Will you admit to embezzlement and pay the price,
or...
will you tell me who actually poisoned...
my grandmother?
There's no way I'd have evidence like that.
Ms. An.
Do you think I don't know?
You put the bottle of poison in Ms. Seol's office.
Do you think we're clueless?
The proof that...
Ji Ho poisoned Ma Hyun Duk.
Bring it immediately.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
Ms. An.
I'll say it one last time.
The proof that Ji Ho poisoned Ma Hyun Duk.
Bring it immediately.
I need time to think.
My life depends on this decision.
It would be best...
not to take too long.
The decision you make will decide if you live or die.
Who do you think can protect you?
I'm sure...
it won't be Ji Ho.
(Cheonha Group Chairman Yoo Ji Ho)
The person who handled the transactions...
and sold the forgeries as if they were originals.
One person did it all.
An Hee Young?
You hid a camera in the chairman's office?
That's not the issue here.
Ji Ho decided to make you a scapegoat.
I asked to meet you here to avoid scrutiny.
I feel more at ease here too.
It will look like we're doing an interview about fashion.
You know Ms. Seol is my mother, don't you?
Yes, I do.
I also know the situation she's in.
Can you help?
Ms. Seol has helped me a lot since my rookie days.
She gave me many exclusives.
I'll repay the favor. What can I do?
I didn't think so, but is this true?
There must be something.
(Report on Ma Hyun Duk's Poisoning)
(MBS In-depth Report, Extra Episode on Ma's Poisoning)
(Ma Hyun Duk, Seol Yu Gyeong, Stella Jang, Ma Se Young Bad Blood)
What are you so afraid of?
We made Seol Yu Gyeong look guilty of Ma Hyun Duk's murder.
It's trial and prison for her.
Her husband is Minister of Justice.
You think that'll happen?
The prosecution has our statements and evidence too.
Even the care home director said Seol Yu Gyeong was guilty.
The poison was found in her office. She can't get out of that.
What if the TV show reveals all about her and Ma Hyun Duk?
Articles say it'll mention me and Hye Soo too.
Oh, that's what you're afraid of.
You're afraid the whole world will find out that Ma Hyun Duk...
swapped you for Hye Soo, and that you went on...
living as Seol Yu Gyeong's daughter despite knowing the truth.
Do something about it.
(Game of Witches)
Her real name's Cha Kang Ju?
Is she not actually Ma Se Young?
I can't let this happen.
Chairman Yoo asked to appear on TV.
Yoo Ji Ho?
He's trying to save just himself?
Cover up one issue with another.
What does that mean?
Use the exact same trick Ji Ho did.
