(Episode 54)
What's going on?
What did she do?
What did my mom do?
Prosecutor Yoo. Tell me exactly what's going on.
I'll say this again.
Ms. Seol's under arrest...
for the solicitation of Yoo Min Sung's murder.
Will that do?
Let's go.
Ms. Seol.
Did you really give the order to have...
Mr. Yoo Min Sung killed?
No. I didn't do such a thing.
Come along.
Hye Soo. It wasn't her.
She and my dad were half-siblings. She wouldn't hurt her own family.
Ji Ho arrested Yu Gyeong and took her away?
Yes, ma'am.
I told Ji Ho to draw whatever picture he wanted...
and he got you involved?
What did he do?
We're a couple and we were on the same page.
Ms. An who used to be...
my mom's... No, Ms. Seo's secretary...
now works for me.
Ms. An.
She can be quite useful.
The three of us came up with a great virtual scenario.
Ms. Seol won't be able to get out of this one.
Okay. Thanks to her heartbroken fake daughter,
I might be able to get rid of Yu Gyeong, who has become a nuisance.
Let's wait and see how this plays out.
If this goes well,
I want Mom's title.
What?
I want to be Cheonha's vice-chairwoman.
I want to have everything that was my mom's.
You dream big. Where'd you get that from?
We may not be related,
but I watched and learned from Ms. Seol.
Fine, then.
Use the fake mother...
who raised you and then abandoned you to get all you want.
(Prosecutor's Office)
I got you a cup of extra-sour coffee.
You wasted your efforts.
I prefer a heavy roast with lots of body.
You're not here for a visit.
It's not like I want to be here.
Who was it?
Who so desperately wants to frame me for Yoo Min Sung's death?
The chairwoman? Min Sun Jung?
Or...
are you in on it too?
Why did you try to flee the cage?
The moment you leave my side,
you'll become prey for the wild beasts.
Four years ago on October 5, Mr. Yoo's inauguration day.
Someone saw you order the brakes of Mr. Yoo's car to be tampered with...
and came forward.
A witness?
On inauguration day,
I happened to hear Ms. Seol on the phone.
What did she say?
Listen very carefully.
Mr. Kim. Mess up the brakes of Mr. Yoo's car.
Say you have a family emergency and leave early.
No. Go straight to the airport.
I'll take care of the rest.
After the accident, Mr. Kim disappeared and couldn't be reached.
We should find something on the call history from back then.
(Call History)
This is your call history from that day.
An hour before the accident happened,
you talked to secretary Kim Sang Gu.
I made that call to tell him...
to bring Mr. Yoo to the ceremony on time.
Then...
Why did we find this in your office?
Honey, the brakes aren't working.
Why wouldn't they work?
Watch out! No!
Be careful!
You found this in my office?
If I really did want Yoo Min Sung dead,
would I have kept this in my office?
Do you think I'm that careless?
You know that...
people care more about what they see.
Hye Soo, you're Stella Jung.
I was astonished.
You really dealt a blow to Se Young.
Yoo Ji Ho is next,
and after him, it'll be your turn.
What did you say to me when you came back?
If you will give me power,
I'll become an even sharper blade.
Even if I must fight my own mother,
I will not let her off.
You said all that, and now...
you want to aim the blade at me?
Because you deceived me and the world.
Did you tell Ji Ho...
to get rid of Hye Soo?
Should I let her live, then? After all I did to protect the company?
Yu Gyeong and Hye Soo,
for as long as I live,
must be eliminated.
I heard it for myself.
You were behind it all.
Ms. Seol was taken for soliciting Yoo Min Sung's murder.
Are you behind that too?
I never said or did such a thing.
Did you dare come here to vent at me because Yu Gyeong, who doesn't even...
deserve to be your mom, was arrested?
You told all sorts of lies to cause a rift between us,
and made me waste years wallowing in hatred and resentment.
I don't know anything about that.
Bring me proof.
I will find the proof.
I'll expose your true colors,
Ma Hyun Duk.
Sure. Come at me all you want.
I value your courage.
Did you do it?
Do what?
Did you lie and say Ms. Seol...
wanted Mr. Yoo killed?
- Why do you think it was me? - Your eyes.
You used to look up to her with respect.
But that one day had changed to jealousy.
What about the look in your eyes?
You don't just look up to her as your boss.
Sometimes it turns to pity, compassion...
Ms. An!
Don't cross the line.
- I apologize. - One more thing.
Don't go after Ms. Seol anymore.
Wait.
Mr, Ko, you're mistaken.
What?
As one of the secretaries working at Cheonha, I'll obey you.
But it's different when it comes to dealing with Ms. Seol.
I want to crush that woman.
An Hee Young!
If it weren't for that, why would I cover for you?
I saw you that day.
Listen very carefully.
Mr. Kim.
Mess up the brakes of Mr. Yoo's car.
Say you have a family emergency and leave early.
No. Go straight to the airport.
I'll take care of the rest.
You have taught me well.
Of course, I have a recording too.
I'm being nice enough to cover for you.
Lie low and enjoy the benefits.
Ms. Jung.
No, Director Jung.
Can I have a word?
I really wanted a beer.
I'm chief secretary for a reason.
You can crack jokes too?
Do you know something about Mr. Yoo's...
car accident?
- Seol Yu Gyeong did it? - Who told you?
Yoo Ji Ho did.
- Was she arrested? - Yes.
I should've seen it myself. I missed out.
They suspect her, but we don't know the truth yet. They must find out.
She killed your father and I almost died too.
Don't you defend her.
I'd love to crush her to death.
I will kill her myself.
Mom!
You don't believe me, do you?
You don't think she did it?
I don't, actually.
But she's a suspect.
That means there's a possibility!
Don't stop me, son.
It's definitely not Ms. Seol.
Who was it? Who...
killed my father?
It was me.
I'm responsible.
What?
I was the one...
who gave the order that the brakes be sabotaged.
- Why? - I wanted...
Yoo Min Sung dead.
Ms. Min was collateral damage I didn't foresee or expect.
Mr. Yoo was the chairwoman's son.
You serve the chairwoman so loyally.
Why would you do such a thing? Did you have a grudge?
My father knew many Cheonha family secrets.
When he got dementia, he began to...
bring them up without knowing.
He said that the reason...
Yoo Min Sung avoided execution for using drugs in Singapore...
was because...
Seol Yu Gyeong's daughter Mi So was sacrificed in a fire.
He told me...
to serve Ms. Seol and Mi So and make up for what had been done.
That Mi So...
was me?
Yes.
It's you.
That night,
I saw it.
My father was asleep.
Who are you?
Father.
Father!
I looked into it and found out that Yoo Min Sung...
had sent someone.
I'd betrayed Ms. Seol...
and swapped 12-year-old you and Cha Kang Ju...
to keep my father alive.
The person who swapped the DNA results at the chairwoman's command...
was you?
It was me.
I apologize.
And out of guilt, you told me who I was...
when I was in prison?
I didn't dare tell Ms. Seol,
but I wanted to tell you somehow.
For all those years,
how could you force...
a mother and daughter to stay apart?
How could you just watch knowing all this?
I apologize.
Was Ms. Seol dragged off...
when she knew nothing about the car accident?
She knows that I was behind it.
Why is she keeping quiet?
Why is she letting herself be framed wrongfully?
Why did she forgive you?
I can't ever do that.
I'll reveal Ms. Seol's innocence...
and pay the price.
After that,
I'll accept any punishment you deal out for me.
Save Ms. Seol first.
Whether I decide to make you pay or forgive you...
is a later matter.
I'll do that with my life,
Director Jung.
I didn't think you'd come to see me.
Why won't you do anything?
- What? - You called her angelic...
and gave everyone else goosebumps, acting like a doting husband.
And she was brought in for instigating a murder,
not just some puny crime.
That's why politics is hard.
Keeping work from my private life requires a delicate balance.
Did you not just set her up with my grandmother and Ji Ho?
What are you talking about? We have a witness.
A witness?
Someone overheard Ms. Seol call someone and tell them...
to tamper with the brakes.
It's not strange that a secretary overheard that.
A secretary?
If it was four years ago... Ms. An?
Witness statements aren't completely accurate.
But it does rouse suspicion.
Your mother's back alive,
and the chairwoman doesn't want to be branded a mom who killed her son,
so she asked us to reopen the case.
It just so happens...
that Ms. An works for Se Young right now.
Oh, does she?
I forgot I had a very important meeting.
Thanks for sparing your time, sir.
Hey, In Ha.
Have you decided to work for me?
I got my old job back.
I can help on weekends.
That would be great.
In return, you have to let me sleep here sometimes.
You said you got your job back.
I don't get paid a whole lot.
You still have the standards of a rich ex-heir.
Did you come here to say just that?
No. I have to tell Sun Mi I can't work for her anymore.
I came by to see her and you both.
And someone I'm waiting for.
Who's that?
Hello, Mother.
Gosh. Hello, Hye Soo.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see In Ha.
He said he had something to tell you, so I decided to join him.
Are you really dating? I heard you're engaged.
We can talk about that later.
Can Hye Soo and I have a chat?
Yes, of course you can.
I'll walk around the block and get some fresh air.
- Enjoy your date. - Take care.
Bye.
Ms. An's a fake witness.
How can you be so sure?
I just met Mr. Ko.
What did he say?
Ms. Seol's definitely not guilty.
How does he know that?
My mother went to see Ms. Seol.
Did she really? We must hurry.
Hye Soo.
(Prosecutor's Office)
I knew it was you.
I knew you'd kill my husband.
My real name is Yoo Min Joo.
My mother was Chairman Yoo Hyung Seok's first wife.
Are you bragging that you're the legitimate heir to Cheonha Group?
I'm saying your husband and I were half-siblings that shared a father.
Whether we got along or not,
even before I approached the chairwoman,
I knew that Min Sung was my half-brother.
It might not be that.
You could've found out after Min Sung's death.
You can brag about it all you want,
but you didn't even recognize Hye Soo.
How will you prove you didn't kill my husband?
If it wasn't you, prove it.
What I can say for sure is that it wasn't me.
Does denying it clear you of murder?
Trust me. I didn't do it.
Let's both just die. I'll kill us both.
Let's ask Min Sung if you killed him!
Please, calm down. Relax and sit down.
Min Sun Jung.
Do me a favor.
I want you to be Hye Soo's mom.
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for what I did.
I'll make the chairwoman pay and then pay my dues.
So I need you...
to be Hye Soo's mom.
Don't ever think of dying again.
Do that for me.
Do you promise?
Chief Prosecutor Yoo?
This is Ko Sung Jae.
Yes, Mr. Ko. It's pretty late for a call.
I know you're the one behind this whole plot.
What do you mean?
Because I'm the one who ordered the car's brakes be tampered with.
Of course, I can prove it too.
I'll turn myself in right now.
Oh, and Ms. An's here with me too.
She'll say she was forced to make a false statement,
so release innocent Ms. Seol...
right away.
Mr. Ko is guilty?
He'll turn himself in so I must release Ms. Seol?
He even knows I made Ms. An lie.
I can't let him go to my office.
Mr. Ko.
You work for my grandmother.
If word gets out that her secretary killed my father,
wouldn't that cause a huge misunderstanding?
Come and see me before you turn yourself in.
I'll do that.
I'll text you a location.
Ji Ho.
Is something wrong?
Mr. Ko called.
He said he caused my dad's accident and that he'll turn himself in.
If he gets Ms. An to say she gave a false statement...
He can't. We must stop him at all costs.
You bet we must.
I won't let anyone ruin my plan.
(Prosecutor's Office)
- Mother. - Mom, are you okay?
- Did you two fight? - Seol Yu Gyeong.
I came over here determined to pluck her heart out of her chest.
But when she teared up and said...
she wants me to look after you...
She asked me...
to be your mom and my heart broke.
I forgot why I'd even come here...
and shook her hand.
I lost my mind.
Mother. Ms. Seol isn't guilty.
Believe that much.
Do you know who really did it?
I think she knows.
Tell me who that scumbag is.
Give me a little time.
That's the only way to save Ms. Seol.
What?
Yes, Mr. Ko. I'm on my way. Wait there.
I'm not far off.
Tell him not to meet anyone else.
Mr. Ko?
Yes. He just said "Mr. Ko," didn't he?
Yes. I heard it too.
Why are they meeting elsewhere?
Ji Ho and Se Young would've planned something.
I think Mr. Ko's in danger.
Kyung Won, can you locate Mr. Ko?
Send me his location.
(Director Jung Hye Soo)
Hello, Ms. Jung.
I'm going to meet Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho.
Yes. Ms. An's also...
Ji Ho!
- He's still alive, right? - Yes. Let's move him.
He said Ms. An was in his car.
I think he drugged her. She's unconscious.
Keep an eye on her when she wakes up.
I'll take care of Mr. Ko.
I know of a good spot.
I'll text you the address. Take him there.
This is where he is.
It's his phone.
I don't see his car.
It's Ji Ho and Se Young.
They took care of Mr. Ko to frame Ms. Seol as the culprit.
Yoo Ji Ho.
Joo Se Young.
(Prosecutor's Office)
Mr. Ko's missing? What do you mean?
He told me everything.
That he caused Yoo Min Sung's accident.
And that he swapped my DNA results.
Why did you forgive someone who'd committed so many crimes?
Why are you taking the blame for what he did?
Mr. Ko saved you from a fire when you were four.
The chairwoman told Mr. Ko's father to kill you,
but Mr. Ko saved you.
He begged his father not to commit murder.
He saved my life but replaced me with a fake.
When I first found out Mr. Ko had done that,
I couldn't forgive him either.
He knew you'd sent me to prison instead of your fake daughter...
and he still kept quiet.
Hye Soo. Save Mr. Ko.
Ji Ho and Se Young must've set a trap.
If Mr. Ko comes back alive, let's ask him.
We can both ask him why he did what he did.
You care for him a whole lot.
If it hadn't been for him, I'd have lost you forever.
Whether you hate or resent me.
at least you're alive and before me now.
That alone is enough of a reason to forgive him.
(Game of Witches)
So what if you save Ms. Seol?
The chairwoman will kill you anyway.
Say Seol Yu Gyeong was behind Yoo Min Sung's accident.
You made her say she witnessed the instigation?
How could you turn your mom into a murderer?
She's no longer my mom. She's yours.
Yoo Ji Ho. You're a chief prosecutor and you do this?
I will see that you crash and burn.
