(Episode 36)
Hello, ma'am.
I should've visited you sooner,
but my upgraded title...
means I have more work to do.
It's a perfect way to become arrogant.
Welcome. It's somewhat late, but congratulations on the promotion.
Please scold me for my impudence.
I work for you.
Why would the public prosecutor general...
go on his knees in front of a lowly merchant?
I won't just go on my knees.
If I did any wrong, I must ask for forgiveness and accept a scolding.
You're my elder.
Ms. Seol, what do you think?
You insulted me and called me a toothless tiger.
I'll follow my husband's lead.
I will try to pick up his sense of humility.
Teach me if I am lacking in any way.
Was it you, Ms. Seol?
The person actually behind all this?
- Hold on tight. - Okay.
Gosh.
Are you okay?
Do you even see me?
Sorry. I just can't release all the pent-up anger.
- Hold it still. - Again?
- Hold it still. - Okay.
What do you want me to do for you?
The truth behind In Ha's accident.
I'd like you to cover it up.
How can I let live the person who tried to harm my baby?
That is not something this Ma Hyun Duk can do.
On top of the money you already have,
you'll have full legal authority...
of the prosecutor general.
If, however, you refuse my husband's offer,
no one will be able to prevent the aftermath.
You know me.
I may look all nice and gentle,
but I don't stop at anything when I'm angry.
Do not make an enemy of me.
I can swallow...
the whole of Cheonha Group, ma'am.
It's shrimp dim sum, your favorite.
This special treatment from you is making me feel elated.
I heard you were awesome today.
It's such a pity I wasn't there to watch.
He swallowed his pride for you.
You should really be grateful.
How could I refuse my angelic wife's plea?
Thank you, Dad.
Mother, try the spinach dim sum. It's delicious.
Is it?
It's good.
Do you think the chairwoman will let it go?
In Ha will have to do what the chairwoman says.
He sometimes goes off the rails when he's angry.
He is like that, but Se Young's dad got involved so he won't this time.
What brought you all the way here for some whiskey?
If you drink that in one go, you'll pass out.
I've never gotten drunk.
I just stay away from alcohol on purpose.
Go ahead.
I'm ready to be stabbed in the back.
Your real attacker.
I need to cover up that it's Se Young.
You said you'd become a shield that no spear in the world can penetrate.
Instead,
I'll give you a spear that can penetrate any shield in the world.
A shield turned into a spear because the prosecutor general went on his knees?
You want me to cover up that Se Young attacked me?
He put aside his pride as the prosecutor general...
and that's a very hard thing to do.
If I don't do as he says, he'll stand against me,
and not long after then, the whole company will suffer.
Have you already forgotten the sacrifice your father made?
I'm sure it tormented you terribly,
but you're the one who persuaded me...
to abandon your comatose father...
for the sake of Cheonha Group.
The greatest cause for a merchant...
must be business itself.
How must you hand out the cards so that you gain...
more than your opponent?
Darn it!
What is it?
You should've talked when we were together earlier.
The other hidden card with which we can move In Ha.
Don't forget that one, Mother.
Hye Soo?
That's right.
What can a girl in prison do?
There might be something she can do because she's there.
When you were sick, your husband...
didn't stop at anything.
That's true.
When their woman seems helplessly weak,
men think they must protect her.
- I'll keep that in mind. - Okay.
(Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho)
(Delete)
Goodness. How long were you there for?
Was it an urgent call from work?
Oh, it was Ms. An.
I forgot I have a morning meeting away from work.
Is she a workaholic like you?
Why'd she call this late?
It was urgent. I hope you understand.
Of course, I do.
Let's go back to bed, honey.
(A better tomorrow, correction with hope)
The real culprit was Se Young?
Yes.
There's proof too.
I was told the camera was broken.
It's not the original, but I found a copy.
Can I get out now?
You should.
Then why do you look upset?
You caught me again.
What is it? Talk to me, In Ha.
(Prosecutor's Office)
The person is unable to answer the phone.
Why won't Ji Ho pick up?
He'd better be here.
Is that all true?
You have to cover up what Se Young did?
I'm sorry.
You found proof...
but I have to remain the culprit?
Seol Yu Gyeong.
For your fake daughter, you'll abandon your real one twice?
You should be made deputy chief prosecutor.
I'm not good enough yet.
Excessive humility can become arrogance.
You made me prosecutor general.
Making you a deputy chief isn't enough.
If I could have my way, I'd make you chief prosecutor...
If I jump too high, I'll have to waste that much time fending off...
the poisoned darts of envy.
You are quite clever.
- Here you are. - Se Young.
What are you doing here?
My husband wouldn't answer his phone.
I came to drag him home since it's time to clock off.
How'd you know he was here?
Don't you know?
He can't escape me.
You're married and you still chase him around?
Tell me what to do.
I'd love to have my angel of a wife follow me around.
- You just have to be handsome. - What?
Do you think you're better-looking than my dad?
Sorry, I'll correct myself.
I don't know what to do.
Women are unfathomable.
I said we should eat out.
My nausea's getting worse,
and I can't eat at restaurants because I can't stand the smell.
Then it must be hard to cook too.
Shall I order you something?
I'm not hungry.
You should eat something for Sarang's sake. I'll order some food.
(Joo Se Young, 10 missed calls)
What's this? You called me ten times?
Because you didn't pick up.
I didn't because I must've been busy.
You could've sent a text.
Did you have to go to my office and then your father's?
Why are you like this these days?
What am I like?
I get that you're pregnant and on edge,
but your father is almost done helping cover up In Ha's accident.
What are you so worried about?
I don't know.
I think something's going on.
I think both you and Mom have your own secrets.
What about me and Mother?
You talk to my mom behind my back.
Why would we do that?
How can the two people I love the most...
in the whole world share a secret?
I had to talk to her about how to wrap up In Ha's case.
In Ha's case?
Didn't Dad take care of it by getting involved?
What if...
Hye Soo were to learn the truth?
What?
Even if she did, what could she do from her cell?
She can do something massive.
Why did you come here first? Do you have something to report?
Mom, come and sit down.
I feel so uneasy because of In Ha.
In Ha won't be able to make a move with the chairwoman watching him.
There's someone other than the chairwoman who can shake him up even more.
Jung Hye Soo.
I'm trying to think of a plan.
You can't just think.
Let's say the chairwoman silences In Ha.
What if Hye Soo applies for a retrial?
She could do that.
You knew that?
Then why are you just sitting here?
Do you want me to do even more to Hye Soo?
Do you want to see me lose my mind?
Se Young, stop it.
Even if the chairwoman silences In Ha, it won't be over.
Who will silence Hye Soo? Who else but you?
Mom. Silence Hye Soo.
Only you can do it. Please.
Make it so Hye Soo can't apply for a retrial or do anything.
If Hye Soo cares about In Ha's position, she won't be able to apply for a retrial.
I need you to take care of it now.
Prove to me properly that you love me more than Hye Soo.
Cut Hye Soo lose once and for all.
Doesn't it look good, Han Byeol?
I bet you've never seen pork cutlet like this.
What is it? You like pork cutlet.
Mom likes it too.
I heard you went to see her.
I want to see her again.
I do too.
Next time, I'll take you to see your mom.
- Will you really? - Yes.
You need to eat well and stay healthy if you're to make your mom happy, right?
Good.
- It's good. - Is it good?
Then let's come back here again.
Next time, I'll come hand-in-hand with Mom.
Right. We must come hand-in-hand with your mom.
She'll get out soon.
How do you know that?
Because I believe good people always win.
I'll believe that too.
Open wide.
You're a good girl.
Shall we buy your grandma some?
- Yes. - Okay.
Hey, 2486, whose is this?
Is it for your lover? Who is it for?
- You know me, don't you? - Did you borrow from a loan shark?
Oh, from lock-up.
Your mom's Seol the Witch?
"Seol the Witch?"
What, you don't know anything about Seol Yu Gyeong?
Do you know Ms. Seol?
I do. I know a great deal about her.
Who told you to pass me the test results?
Are you naive or what?
Nothing in our world's for free.
Let's go.
- I just... - Inmate 1004, you have a visitor.
Let's keep this brief.
Was In Ha here to see you?
You know the truth, then.
I won't ask what you plan to do.
Because you won't do anything, Hye Soo.
Why do you think I won't do anything?
The aftermath of revealing the truth will be too great,
and too many of those whom you love will get hurt.
Like whom?
You who came to silence your real daughter for your fake one?
If you're my real daughter,
how could I leave you in here?
Right. There's no way you would.
If I were your real daughter, you wouldn't be able to tell me not to do anything...
when there's a way to clear my name.
You'd do all you could to get me out of here.
Yes, that's right.
I'm not your mom.
So don't even think I'll get you out of here.
And stop In Ha from going too far.
Only you can do that.
The moment In Ha discloses the truth,
my daughter Se Young, Ji Ho, my husband, and I will crumble.
You reap what you sow. What does that have to do with me?
Then In Ha, the chairwoman,
and Cheonha Group will crumble too.
Like a set of dominos.
Is that what you want?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
I abandoned you too.
For the company and Grandma.
I regret that, Dad.
I've fallen in love.
That woman...
is doing time for trying to hurt me.
What should I do this time?
Will you tell me, Dad?
You're so cruel.
How could you come here to say that?
Did you ever stop to think...
how wronged I feel and what would happen to my future?
Of course, I did.
You tormented me too much in the past.
The sweet, naive side of me that I'd forgotten.
You reminded me of that and it was agony.
If it was so agonizing,
why did you smile so warmly and hug me?
Yes. It was all a lie.
That was the only way I could...
forget for a while that I'm a witch...
who can drive anyone to ruin.
All that...
was a lie?
Have you forgotten?
I stole the man you loved and your daughter...
from you to give to my daughter.
To stay alive,
I got sweet little you to give me a kidney too.
And I made you look guilty for In Ha's attempted murder.
That's what I'm like.
So pull yourself together.
Why are you trying so hard to make me hate you?
Forget the Seol Yu Gyeong burrowed deep into your heart.
That'll help you face reality clearly...
and stop In Ha and control your fury.
For now, focus on surviving.
What if I refuse?
Then In Ha and Han Byeol will get hurt.
I'll see to it myself that you never see your child again.
This is what you're like.
Now I can actually believe...
that you abandoned your daughter.
Fine. Think whatever you want.
The woman before you isn't the old Seol Yu Gyeong.
Keep that in mind.
Don't come here again.
Even if you really are my mother,
I don't want you.
I'm sorry, Hye Soo. This was all I could do.
Don't forgive me.
Let your hatred for me make you stronger.
Protect yourself and move on.
(Restricted Area)
I wondered why my request was denied.
You got here first.
Inmates are allowed only one visitor a day.
The bird who wakes earlier flies further.
You should've hurried.
You're so shameless.
Whose fault is it that Hye Soo's here?
I've known her for over 20 years.
It'll take a while for us to cut ties.
I have stuff to take care of.
In Ha.
You haven't lost your memory, have you?
She must have some passion left in her if she's crying.
Inmate 1004, you were summoned.
In Ha.
I asked the warden for a favor to let me see you.
For just five minutes.
What do you want to do? Have you made up your mind?
What about you?
I want to get out of here soon.
Then I just need to expose Se Young...
and submit the evidence to the prosecution.
Do you really think so?
Who's the prosecutor general?
Have you forgotten why I had to be guilty?
If you show the proof, not just me but Han Byeol, you,
and Cheonha Group will be in danger.
Inmate 1004, your time's up.
Okay, we'll be done soon.
Hye Soo. Should we not do anything because it's dangerous?
We can't do that.
I'll find another way.
A way to reveal the truth without hurting me,
you, or Han Byeol.
A way to reveal the truth...
without hurting anyone.
I have an announcement to make.
In Ha's memory returned.
Yes.
My memory has returned.
I remembered...
who hurt me.
And who turned Hye Soo...
into the culprit.
Who is that, Director Yoo?
(Game of Witches)
What? Parole?
Dad permitted it too?
There's no other way.
So you'll just let Hye Soo go?
Have you forgotten that you played a role in it?
His half-brother was lying in a pool of blood,
but Yoo Ji Ho the prosecutor left him and ran away.
How's that for a killer headline?
You'd better be afraid, Se Young.
Once I get out, I'll get my mom back.
Do you think I can't do it?
Wait and see, Joo Se Young.
