(Episode 113)
I'm from the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office.
Chairman Yoo Ji Ho.
You're under arrest as the suspect in Ma Hyun Duk's poisoning and murder.
Prosecutor Yoon!
I apologize.
Treat me like this,
and you'll come to regret it.
Please cooperate and come with us quietly.
Shall we?
Take him.
You were arrested for poisoning Ma Hyun Duk.
Did you really poison her?
There's talk it's because she realized you weren't her grandson.
Do you admit to that?
Put down the cameras.
Put them away before I smash them all!
- Any comments? - Do you admit the charges?
- Say something. - How do you feel?
Oh, dear. You can't drop the facade already, Ji Ho.
You have an image to upkeep.
It can't be.
Something's not right.
It can't be.
Mr. Ko said he had business.
How did you know I wanted a glass of wine?
I can tell what you want just at a glance.
You're the best.
I'd been wanting some wine as well.
- Can I have some too? - Of course.
- And me. - Hye Soo.
Well done on getting through the rough times.
- Well done. - Cheers.
- Good job. - Thank you.
Will Ji Ho's interrogation be underway?
Yes.
I should get over there...
and keep an eye on things.
Can Prosecutor Yoon be trusted?
Back when Ji Ho was a prosecutor,
Yoon was his investigator.
Yes. I think we should keep a close eye on him.
What do you think?
Our office is all about hierarchy.
As an investigator,
Yoon would've had no choice but to help Ji Ho,
but he's a prosecutor now.
We must trust him and give him a chance to live up to our trust.
Okay.
It's Ji Ho's mother.
At around 11 p.m. on April 23,
did you make Ma Hyun Duk drink poisoned pomegranate tea?
Chairman Yoo.
Tell the truth.
What did you do to Ms. Ma?
What do you expect me to say?
I don't know what you have on me,
but I didn't do anything.
Have this, Grandma.
- I brought your favorite. - Watch this.
My goodness. What a lovely color.
Just like a jewel.
In Ha.
What did you give me?
Do you still deny it?
This was faked.
I did not poison Ma Hyun Duk.
Are you denying the charge?
I didn't do anything. This is fake!
Do not say anything else, sir.
Mr. Kim.
I'm Cheonha Group's legal advisor Kim Seong Hoon.
You can speak with me now.
First, I'd like to have a private discussion with my client.
Very well.
You told Hye Soo you'd like to see me?
I heard you were released.
I'm glad you seem fine.
Skip the meaningless niceties.
Get to the point.
Is it true that...
my Ji Ho poisoned Ms. Ma?
Will you believe me if I say he did?
Maybe not others,
but if you say so, I'll believe it.
Why's that?
Because you made him Yoo Ji Ho in the first place.
You're the one...
who turned him into a monster.
The former statement is correct, but not the latter.
I turned Kang Ji Ho into Yoo Ji Ho,
but I never told him to become a monster.
That was his choice.
Then...
is it true?
Ma Hyun Duk and Min Sun Jung.
Ji Ho was involved in both of their deaths.
What should we do now?
He must pay the price and go back to being Kang Ji Ho.
Please help my Ji Ho. Please.
I'll pay the price instead.
I got too greedy...
and pushed him...
into the sewer thinking it was a bed of flowers.
Get on your feet.
No mother can pay the price for their child's crimes.
Ji Ho must pay for them himself.
If there's anything you can do, it's to persuade him to confess.
Ms. Seol!
What now? What'll happen to my Ji Ho?
Mr. Kim.
How much assets do I have?
The 50 million dollars you got from selling artwork.
You don't have much else under your name.
As you know, Ms. Ma left you a conditional inheritance,
and you lost your share to Yoo In Ha.
What's your involvement in this case?
Tell me the truth. Only then can I help you.
A lawyer's duty...
isn't to judge his client's actions or morals.
If the client's guilty, you get him a lesser sentence,
and if possible, get him off completely. That's your job.
Yes. It's exactly as you said.
And if you leak information...
I lose my license to practice law. I'm aware of that.
Very well, then.
I'll put my faith in you.
Let me tell you what I want.
Okay. Go ahead.
Make me not guilty.
Does that mean you're guilty?
Your insides will hurt later. You should eat as well.
Come on.
Take your time, Mother.
When a child goes astray,
it's always the mom's fault.
It's all on me. I'm the useless one.
Mother.
Now that you know,
talk to Ji Ho.
Tell him to admit everything and pay his dues.
He won't listen to me.
He lost his mind completely.
Even so, you can't give up until the very end.
He's your son.
Mother. You cannot...
give up until the end.
I won't tape or record this.
At one time,
you were my most trusted junior.
I was also your son-in-law.
I heard from your lawyer that...
you insist you're not guilty.
Yes, because I'm not.
We have incriminating evidence.
The video.
Come on.
Videos can easily be faked.
Stop being so stubborn.
You should know better than that.
You're only wasting time.
Am I now?
Are you still insisting that my wife...
poisoned Ma Hyun Duk?
I'm not insisting.
I'm only saying what I saw.
- Kang Ji Ho! - It's Yoo Ji Ho!
He says he's not guilty?
The shameless fool. Is that even possible?
Even if you're known for winning 99 percent of your cases,
there's incriminating evidence.
Even if the video incriminates him,
we'll stall by denying its integrity...
and find another way.
I'm sure you would.
Your family served Cheonha Group for generations.
And you were extremely close to Ms. Ma.
- Yes, I was. - But...
you'll get Yoo Ji Ho a non-guilty verdict...
when he clearly killed Ms. Ma?
I'm only doing my duty as the company's legal advisor.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Come in.
- Hello. Have a seat. - Thanks.
You've worked for Cheonha for 20 years now.
We started working here at around the same time.
Yes. I've worked alongside you just as long as I have with Ms. Ma.
Ji Ho wants to go free, doesn't he?
Yes.
You must also know he's clearly guilty.
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to share any details.
There's a lot you can do without your license.
What do you mean?
How about becoming CEO of a Cheonha subsidiary?
I'm aware you're not someone who cares about titles,
but if Ji Ho really did poison Ms. Ma,
wouldn't it be wrong to clear his name?
I should get him some clean underwear.
Hi, Han Byeol. Is Mom at home?
I came home for a while,
to do some cleaning and get some clean clothes.
When will you be back?
I might be a little late.
I have to drop by somewhere.
Will you visit Dad?
Well, Han Byeol...
Have a safe trip, Grandma.
Okay, I will.
Bye.
The little girl notices everything.
What's this?
(Seoul Central Detention)
Mom.
My gosh.
Mom.
My poor baby.
Oh, dear.
My goodness. Your skin's so rough.
You care that much about me and you left me alone at home?
You're not the son I knew.
You keep doing bad things and I want you to come around.
I'm thinking straight.
What's this bag for?
Did Hye Soo kick you out?
No. She's so nice to me.
I brought you some underwear but they won't take it.
I put some money in your account.
I can get anything I need here. And I'll be out soon anyway.
This isn't a boot camp.
And when is a company chairman ever strapped for cash?
You'll be out soon?
The news and internet...
won't stop talking about how you killed Ms. Ma.
They say you'll get 20 years to life...
Mom.
I'm innocent. I didn't do anything.
Don't believe what everyone else says.
Did you really not do anything?
Even if I did, I'll make it look like I didn't.
Mom.
Listen to me.
It's time to stop.
If you did something, don't cover it up or run away.
Now I know what it is I must do for you.
What are you doing, Mom?
Your son's on a precipice,
and you want to push him?
I'm trying to save you, so you don't go any further!
If you take a step forward, you really will fall.
I want to turn myself in...
and serve time in prison instead.
What did you do that you'd turn yourself in?
I turned you into Ms. Ma's fake grandson.
I sent you down a wrongful path,
and out of greed,
I sent my precious son...
to his own ruin.
One lie snowballed,
and we kept lying.
I turned my own son into a murderer.
Stop it. Don't ruin my chances.
How did you end up like this?
It's my fault.
This must be the price I must pay.
If all you'll do is whine,
don't come here again, okay?
I'm done.
Ji Ho.
Ji Ho!
Ji Ho.
Oh, dear.
Did you see Ji Ho?
Does he still insist he's innocent?
Oh, well.
I didn't get to pass him his underwear.
Don't worry too much. He can buy what he needs.
Yes. He only told me off for visiting.
What's this?
I found it in Ji Ho's bag of clothes.
I don't get why he'd hidden a flask in there.
Mother, do you mind if I borrow this?
Have this, Grandma.
I brought your favorite.
My goodness.
What a lovely color.
Just like a jewel.
It's the same flask.
What do you mean?
This flask...
is the one Ji Ho brought Ms. Ma's pomegranate tea in.
If we send it to Forensics and have it tested,
they'll say if it contained poison and if it's the one that killed Ms. Ma.
Then did my Ji Ho really do it?
What did you give me?
What do you think? It's poison, Grandma.
You poisoned me? You...
This flask...
contained the poisoned pomegranate tea he gave Ms. Ma?
Oh, dear.
How are things going?
The video only shows the back of your head,
but anyone can tell it's you,
so I'm wondering how to explain it.
Say it was filmed illegally and must be stricken from evidence.
And it only has the back of my head.
Say they hired a lookalike and had him...
pretend to be me to film the video.
My only charge will be for perjury so I could frame...
Seol Yu Gyeong.
(Seoul Central Detention)
It's good to see you like this.
You should've been more law-abiding.
How is life here?
You should know, you've been here too.
Money goes a long way here.
I'm treated like a king.
What a joke. I can see through your lies.
It's true.
On my first day...
Boss, he looks so ordinary.
Is he more handsome than me?
Yes.
No.
The new boy looks like a pimp.
Ma Se Young once called me pretty,
but I don't deserve to be called a pimp.
Boys. He needs some looking after.
- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.
Wait.
You lot.
Don't you know who I am?
Wait. Didn't they say he's a chairman?
As long as I'm here, I'll take good care of you,
since we're cellmates.
Don't irritate me, okay?
Hey. You won't do as I say?
You.
I'll take a little better care of you.
- How? - While I'm here,
I'll make sure your account is full.
Spend freely.
Okay, then, Chairman.
Sit over here.
That's the spirit.
- Oh, dear. - Boys.
Serve him well from now on.
- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.
You can all sit down. Go ahead.
That's the power of money.
Then you won't need my help.
You have all you need.
Don't say that. I need your help most of all.
Why is that?
Think of how to get me out of here.
Why should I do that?
If you don't, I'll name you an accomplice...
No, I'll say you're the mastermind and put the blame on you.
You're the one who told me to kill Ms. Ma.
Is there proof?
I can find it,
or make it. You know how it works.
That's not all.
Think of Hye Soo's aunt.
You could go down for so many things.
Ma Se Young.
I won't go down on my own.
So you'd better find a way to get me off.
Forget that.
Seol Yu Gyeong's going to talk to the press.
What?
I'm sure...
you can guess what about.
Think of how to deal with that.
I'm sorry.
This is the only place where we can talk in private.
Sure. I understand.
What does Ji Ho...
want me to do?
Talk to the press.
As in a press conference?
What could I say and how?
Of course, you must contradict what Ms. Seol will say...
at her press conference.
What is Ms. Seol going to say?
Keep in mind this was impossibly hard to get.
This is what Ms. Seol's going to say?
Yes.
"The person who turned Kang Ji Ho into Yoo Ji Ho..."
"was me, Seol Yu Gyeong?"
What should we do about this?
Chairman Yoo pleaded...
that if you care for him,
you'd tell the press that this is not true.
About all the rumors,
to clarify what the truth is...
Ms. Seol. It's time.
You'll suffer the consequences. Are you sure you'll be okay?
I'm prepared.
We need to send Ji Ho from lockup to prison,
and this is the best way.
You're as strong as always.
(Cheonha Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong Press Conference)
- What will she say? - Is this staged?
(Cheonha Chairman Yoo Ji Ho's Mother Kang Gong Sook Press Conference)
As Chairman Yoo Ji Ho's biological mother,
I will tell you the truth.
My son Yoo Ji Ho is the late Ma Hyun Duk's...
biological grandson.
This is driving me crazy.
I'm Cheonha Group's Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong.
I arranged this press conference to tell the truth...
about all that was mentioned...
on live streams and on TV.
I wished to do so in person.
The Yoo Ji Ho who's currently in lockup...
is Kang Ji Ho, not Yoo Ji Ho.
How am I so sure?
Because I myself turned him from Kang Ji Ho into Yoo Ji Ho.
Did you forge the DNA report?
Yes, I did.
At another location,
Chairman Yoo's mother Kang Gong Sook...
is going to announce he is Yoo Min Sung's son.
What do you say about that?
(Kang Gong Sook Press Conference)
Dear members of the public.
As the birth mother of Cheonha Group's chairman Yoo Ji Ho,
I swear only to tell the truth.
My son Yoo Ji Ho is the late Ma Hyun Duk's...
grandson.
(Game of Witches)
Let's get back together.
I'll think about it.
If I go down, you won't be safe either!
Don't let Ji Ho sway you any longer.
I already cut ties with him.
Be sure to cut him off completely.
Did you witness Seol Yu Gyeong poison Ma Hyun Duk?
Ms. Ma?
