(Episode 44)
(Mom, I miss you.)
Mom, I miss you.
Han Byeol. Mom missed you too.
Han Byeol.
Mom.
Han Byeol.
Do you recognize me?
I was alive.
I'm sorry I was away for so long.
You know who caused Hye Soo's accident and can prove it?
How can I help you?
I'm sick of running and hiding.
I want to work at Cheonha again.
First, I have to see if the proof is worth it.
I'm sorry. I couldn't call you for so long.
Thank you for staying alive, Mom.
I was very sick.
That's why I couldn't see you.
I waited until I was well enough to see you again.
You came back to Han Byeol.
That's enough. Heart.
Heart.
Han Byeol.
This bracelet is Mom's, isn't it?
I cried so much because I missed you.
Dad gave it to me.
Your dad?
I lost it that day.
Was Ji Ho at the scene of my accident?
(Senior Executive VP Yoo In Ha)
(World-famous Designer Stella Jung's Take on the New Season)
Stella Jung.
Fantastic.
"Grab Stella Jung?"
(Stella Jung's 2023 cut-out unbalanced dress.)
She has flair but power too,
and it's sensitive but natural.
Ms. An?
Hi, In Ha.
Are you still at work?
Come to Ms. Seol's office now.
What? Ms. An?
Your uncle in Manhattan.
Did you say your goodbyes?
Yes.
Do you know...
just what you pulled and who you're up against?
The likes of you dared to turn me...
into Hye Soo's attempted murderer?
You know very well.
How could the likes of me...
do such a thing unless I was willing to risk my life?
You put it in motion?
Who made you do it? Chairwoman Ma?
What do I get in return for the answer?
You could beg for your life and I might not let you live.
You want to bargain?
Beg for forgiveness and tell the truth.
Or I will take you out.
If I die, the truth of who framed you for Jung Hye Soo's attempted murder...
and who was really behind it...
will vanish with the proof.
"The proof?"
How can I trust you?
- There is proof. - Se Young.
Let Ms. An work for me.
Why would you get involved?
I sent Ms. An to see you. We made a deal.
A deal?
Dashcam footage and a recording of her call with the real culprit.
She has both.
I saw them for myself.
(Call recording)
- Is everything ready? - They're on standby.
Put it in motion when Hye Soo moves on her own.
Yoo Ji Ho?
I'll ask you again.
Is this a warning or an elimination?
It's an elimination.
I understand.
Wait. We need an insurance policy.
If Hye Soo survives,
Seol Yu Gyeong has to be responsible for the accident.
"This is the end for us."
"In the afterlife, forget my face and my name."
"Rest in peace."
That is the last message Seol Yu Gyeong left Hye Soo.
Ji Ho tried to hurt Hye Soo?
Is that true?
How can you prove this call was made that day?
What's this?
Footage from Ms. An's dashboard camera from that day.
Ji Ho tried to kill Hye Soo.
Not just that.
He tried to frame me for her murder.
Where's Ms. An?
She's in there right now.
What are you doing here? We don't have an appointment.
You just barged in.
I have business with Ms. An.
You vanished suddenly,
so what are you doing here now, chatting with Ms. Seol?
Is it a secret gathering?
You seem to have the wrong idea.
I let Mr. Lee work for Mom for a while.
So I came here to discuss...
with Mom and Mr. Ko...
if they'd let Ms. An work for me instead.
Why? Is that a problem?
Ms. An.
Three years ago, after my accident,
you said Ms. Seol left me a message.
Were you involved with my car accident...
and was Ms. Seol the one responsible for it?
How many times must I say no?
I told you it wasn't me.
Don't you think you're being out of line?
You can't act like this just because In Ha has your back!
- Shut your mouth. - What?
I don't have the time for you right now.
An Hee Young, I want an answer.
Did you try to kill me?
Was Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong the one who gave the order?
I don't know anything.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
It wasn't me.
We were in the middle of a meeting. Please leave if you're done.
Excuse us for intruding. Let's go, Hye Soo.
There is something else.
Ms. An knows something.
Why did Ms. An come to see Ms. Seol in secret?
She has nowhere else to hide.
I bet she made a deal. With the proof.
What proof?
Actually, a bit earlier...
- Is everything ready? - They're on standby.
Put it in motion when Hye Soo moves on her own.
(Vice-chairwoman's Office)
Yoo Ji Ho?
It was really Yoo Ji Ho?
No way.
Why would he...
Was it because he thought...
I'd tell the world Se Young hurt you if I got out on parole?
The woman he loved would go to prison...
and he'd have to resign as prosecutor.
How could he try to kill me over that?
How is that possible?
How could a human being do such a thing?
Hye Soo. Try to calm down first.
We must be even calmer right now.
Let's say I can accept he wanted me gone.
But I'm Han Byeol's mom.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Let's sit back down.
Until we have concrete proof, don't make any decisions.
Don't get hurt too soon.
You misheard.
Erase all memory of the accident and video.
That's the only way you can work here.
I'll keep that in mind.
You have just one shot.
The chairwoman would've had you killed already.
Did you fall for Ms. Seol because...
she's less cruel than the chairwoman?
(Personal Details, Jung Ho Jin)
(Further comments)
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong, original name Yoo Min Joo)
Honey.
Leave it.
I have some papers to review. You go to bed.
Okay. Don't stay up too late.
Watch your health.
Honey.
(Personal Details, Jung Ho Jin)
"Jung Ho Jin?"
He's looking into my past.
He'd have told Ji Ho to do so.
I'm Seol Yu Gyeong.
I can't stop here.
Whatever happens.
I'll take her to her school bus stop.
Okay. Bye, Han Byeol.
Let's go.
Thanks for coming back.
I can't believe you did it.
Do what?
Put it in motion when Hye Soo moves on her own.
Is this a warning or an elimination?
It's an elimination.
Where'd you get this? Who gave it to you?
If Hye Soo survives,
Seol Yu Gyeong has to be responsible for the accident.
Don't think of denying it.
I also have dashcam footage of it.
I have two questions.
One.
Why did you try to kill Hye Soo?
You wanted her dead too, Se Young.
- What? - Dashcam footage from my car...
shows you driving toward Hye Soo and swerving at the last minute.
So very clearly.
Weren't you pleased too?
Your man,
your husband tried to take out Hye Soo.
I bet you grinned.
Yes.
"I see."
"My husband didn't come all the way here out of concern..."
"for his ex and to watch her..."
"from a distance as she got released from prison."
"Just like me, he wanted Hye Soo dead too."
Ji Ho, you were right.
You and I are both nutjobs.
We're beyond bad.
You and I have become devils.
No. I thought of it but never managed to put it into action.
Ji Ho.
You actually tried to kill Hye Soo.
You're the real devil.
Yes. I've become a devil.
Because I had to.
I need Hye Soo dead...
to protect what's mine.
I need Hye Soo dead...
to climb to the highest peak where I want to be.
So why are you acting like you don't want her dead at all?
Why does it look like you just can't wait to have an affair with her?
What changed you?
Han Byeol got sick thinking her mom's dead.
Now that Hye Soo's back, I have to make Han Byeol better.
You'll use Han Byeol as an excuse to keep seeing Hye Soo?
Will you stop it? I'm exhausted.
Wait.
I have one more question to ask.
Why did you frame my mom?
It was just insurance of sorts...
in case Hye Soo survived.
What?
Insurance?
Everyone wanted Hye Soo dead,
but who could I have put the blame on?
You? Your father? My grandmother?
A process of elimination left just one person.
Even so, how could you attack her?
Do you think she'll let you go?
What?
Is she a sleeping lion or something?
Here's your chicken. Enjoy.
Hye Soo.
You're here early. You said you'd visit in the afternoon.
I had to visit early. My best friend opened her own store.
You have a lot of customers.
Ms. Jin, you'll get rich real soon.
Thanks.
The new menu is really popular.
- Take a seat. - No, I'm here to help.
You don't have to.
Sit and relax and just hang out.
Sun Mi, I'm fine. I can handle it.
Working will help take my mind off things.
You know what a hard worker I used to be.
Sweetie, which table is this for?
"Sweetie?"
Since when?
We haven't been together that long. Just about 500 days?
Actually, it's been 536 days. So it's 12,864 hours.
You've been counting?
Try the food, Hye Soo.
All this happened underneath my nose.
Hey. How is this so good?
I'll let you off because the chicken's amazing.
Isn't it nice?
Try it with the sauce.
It tastes even better because you two made it for me.
Congratulations, you two.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
(Joo Se Young)
What is it now?
(File on Seol Yu Gyeong of Cheonha Group)
(Further comments)
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong, original name Yoo Min Joo)
The chief prosecutor found this.
On my orders.
I'd heard that rumors were going about.
I guess some were true.
You knew nothing about this?
Of course not.
I did cherish Yu Gyeong,
but how could I have known every detail of her personal life?
Enough with the word games!
Has becoming a minister...
made you forget all notions of hierarchy?
Minister Joo, have you forgotten who I am?
How could I?
You're Cheonha's honorary chairwoman Ma Hyun Duk.
You helped me marry Yu Gyeong 27 years ago,
and told me then that she was...
a noblewoman...
who'd never had a boyfriend let alone a live-in lover.
Because that's what I thought at the time!
Either Yu Gyeong had duped me or I'd been mistaken.
Did you not deceive me when you knew all along?
Come on, now.
You had a crush on Yu Gyeong since you were in university.
You even divorced your first wife because you never got over her.
You're the one who asked me to help you marry Yu Gyeong.
Did Yu Gyeong want it or...
did you force her?
What more is there?
Does she really have a hidden love child?
You're the one with the questions.
You'd do better at finding the answers yourself.
Why did you want to see me?
What's this?
What you want to know the most.
What you're looking for like crazy.
What?
Is it...
Who really tried to kill you.
The proof is right there.
Why did you tell my husband about part of my past?
I got a little worried that...
you'd forgotten.
I forgot? What?
That not only do I know all about your past...
but I also have the evidence.
Compared to what you did,
my past is just a pitiful woman's sob story.
There's not much value to it.
By what I did,
do you mean...
the accident I set up...
to try to kill Hye Soo?
Yoo Ji Ho, you...
How could you try to kill Hye Soo?
How could you make her hate me? Why?
I'll tell you...
the reason.
Because Jung Hye Soo...
is the biological daughter of Yoo Min Joo, born of Yoo Hyung Seok...
and his first wife.
That's you, Seol Yu Gyeong.
She's the only full-blooded heir to Cheonha Group.
Yoo Ji Ho.
Hye Soo is my biological daughter?
Yes.
That is the truth.
(Game of Witches)
Who is my daughter?
Is it Cha Kang Ju who became Joo Se Young...
or is it Jung Hye Soo whose DNA report you swapped out?
What would make you want to...
kill the woman you dated for ten years and had your daughter?
Were you afraid I'd ruin your bright future?
You tried to kill my daughter twice?
I will kill you myself today!
Yu Gyeong...
Die! Just die!
