Ms. Joo.
I need you to cooperate...
as a witness to Yoo Min Sung's accident.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m.,
come to Chief Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho's office...
at Seoul District Prosecutors' Office.
I'm a witness? Do you think I'll come in?
Then I'll have to name you...
as a suspect and get an arrest warrant.
Do you think...
I don't know you're trying to make me look guilty?
Did Hye Soo say...
she'd take you back if you sent me to prison?
I wasn't going to go this far.
But the more digging I did, the more guilty you looked.
You're much freakier than I thought.
You scumbag.
Se Young. Come to my office...
by 10 a.m. tomorrow.
I'll be waiting for you.
It's nice and cold.
Do you think Se Young was really behind it?
Do you think Ji Ho...
could've gotten Mr. Kim to lie?
Both are possible.
Ji Ho and Se Young are all full of lies.
If the investigation...
reveals that Se Young really killed my father...
Let's find out ourselves...
whether Se Young planned it or Ji Ho's setting her up.
How?
By going out there.
Goodness.
I can't go down like this.
Joo Se Young.
You must think.
You can get out.
You must.
(Prosecutors' Office)
(Chief Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho)
Sir.
Where's Se Young?
She's not here yet.
She refuses to give a witness statement?
I'll issue an arrest warrant soon.
Do you have proof?
He has proof?
Yes.
The money for Kim Sang Gu's mother's cancer operation.
Se Young paid it in cash in person at the hospital.
That was four years ago. How can he prove it?
There's a photo of Se Young meeting Mr. Ko...
at the hospital from early October four years ago...
on Kim's mother Park Soon Hee's phone.
That doesn't mean she ordered...
Mr. Yoo's car brakes to be tampered with.
I said the same thing to Ji Ho.
(Kim Sang Gu)
(Agreement to Fulfill Promise)
Kim Sang Gu will remember Joo Se Young paid for his mother's surgery...
and he promises to execute her commands.
This proves she helped someone out.
You can't use this...
to say she was involved in Yoo Min Sung's accident.
Whether it was just a good deed or not must be looked into.
To be honest, I didn't suspect Se Young at first.
But the more I look into it, the more it looks like it could be her.
Could Se Young have done something that dreadful?
It's mostly what Kim Sang Gu says.
Let's wait and see how things go.
The receipt for Kim's mother's operation.
Can you send it to me?
What do you need that for?
To find more conclusive proof.
You can do that?
Not on my own. I have people who will help.
Look.
The receipt for Kim Sang Gu's mother's surgery from four years ago.
They paid 20,000 dollars in cash in one go?
This is fishy.
Is this receipt one of yours?
(Medical Bill, Receipt)
Yes, it is. It's one of ours.
You probably won't have footage from four years ago, right?
No. We handle so much data, anything over six months is gone.
Is there anything else we can do? I really need to know about this.
I doubt many people pay 20,000 dollars in cash.
You're the chairwoman's grandson, right?
Yes.
I shouldn't be talking about this,
but if you came in person to ask,
it must be really important.
It is. I will repay you if you can help.
I was actually on duty that day.
It was a very young and elegant-looking lady.
She paid with a wad of 50-dollar bills.
Did she ask for a cash receipt?
She said no, that she couldn't be bothered.
She just said she was helping some pitiful person.
Do you remember anything about her outfit or accessories?
Oh, her brooch.
Cozy's red brooch that costs tens of thousands of dollars.
Cozy's red brooch?
Is this the one?
Yes.
- What about the brooch? - It's Joo Se Young.
She wore this brooch to my wedding.
Are you begging to be killed?
How dare you come here?
I'd rather you kill me.
- What? - Rather than go to prison,
I'd like you to kill me.
Do you think I can't kill you?
You killed my precious son and took him from me before his time.
Do you think I'll let you live?
Are you sure your son was "precious" to you?
- What? - Wasn't he a fool of a son...
whom you feared would...
get in the way of your precious grandson?
How dare you?
You should watch what you say!
You got rid of the woman...
who gave me life in case she got in my way.
I considered doing the same by getting rid of your son...
who was beneath your grandson.
If you want to, hit me to your heart's content.
Fine. Do you think I won't?
Die, you wench! Die!
Do you expect to live...
after killing my son?
Die!
I tried to kill him but I failed.
What?
Calm down a bit and sit down.
I'll explain.
Fine, you wench.
Let's see what you have to say.
You know that...
there was an accident,
but Mr. Yoo survived it.
So what?
He died out of the blue one day when he was in a coma.
Do you think that was a coincidence?
- What? - It's separate from the accident.
Did you never stop to think someone took Mr. Yoo...
off the ventilator?
It was definitely not me.
Then who would dare hurt my son?
That person's the real killer.
My only crime was ordering the brakes to be tampered with.
How am I to believe you?
If you're the woman you claim to be and see far and wide from your room,
think about it.
I'd gotten all I'd wanted by then.
Why would I risk it all by trying to kill Mr. Yoo again?
Without having to kill your son,
I got you into trouble for toying with my life...
and for extinguishing the life of my birth mother.
And the mother I loved more than anyone had become...
the managing director.
Joo Se Young.
Why did you go that far?
But that's all I did.
I didn't go too far.
You didn't kill my son Min Sung?
That's the point.
Someone else killed him.
You need to go after the right person.
Oh, there's one more thing you mustn't forget.
I know quite a few of your weaknesses.
If I go to prison, I won't be going alone.
You still threaten people who are out of your league.
It might be better for you to kill me...
than let me go to prison.
I hope you make a wise decision, ma'am.
Where's Ms. Joo?
She hasn't come to work yet.
What's going on? A chief prosecutor came in person?
I have a warrant for Joo Se Young's arrest.
Where is she?
I thought she'd be with you, answering questions as a witness.
- Did she not appear? - That's right.
Why are you arresting her instead of demanding she come in?
Do you have proof against her?
Mr. Yoon.
What?
Joo Se Young turned herself in?
She turned herself in?
(Prosecutors' Office)
I thought you'd run away but you turned yourself in?
Is this courage or bravado?
I have nowhere to hide.
Right. And if you turn yourself in, that's considered in the sentencing.
Why did you do it?
Why did you order Mr. Yoo's car brakes to be tampered with?
Because I'd read the chairwoman's mind.
That she considered her grandson Yoo In Ha more capable...
and worthy than her son to inherit the Cheonha crown.
So you got her son out of the way for her?
Did you think that would please Ms. Ma?
That's half the reason.
What's the other half?
I wanted her to feel the pain...
of having her heart ripped.
What does that mean?
When the chairwoman told me...
she'd gotten rid of my birth mother, the woman...
who had given me life without my permission,
I'd made up my mind.
That she should feel...
exactly how I'd felt.
Also,
I needed Yoo Min Sung gone...
if either my mom or In Ha...
were to become a managing director instead.
You thought you'd be able to marry In Ha soon.
I did at the time.
The feelings you had for the chairwoman...
who'd put you in Hye Soo's place weren't entirely gratitude?
Part of you wanted to get back at her for toying with your life...
and taking your birth mother's life?
Was that the motive for murder?
It was the motive with which I got Mr. Ko...
to tell Mr. Kim to tamper with the brakes.
I never said murder.
It wasn't a motive for murder?
- Are you playing word games? - Have you forgotten?
Did Mr. Yoo die in the car accident?
He was in a coma.
He died much later.
I'm an attempted murderer.
The real killer is someone else.
Of course, Se Young.
There's no way you'd turn yourself in for no reason.
So what? You only admit to ordering the car be messed with?
You won't accept the murder charge?
Correct.
Don't you play with me.
She admits to tampering with the brakes...
but not to causing murder?
Not bad. That's quite persuasive.
This is getting interesting.
Se Young's saying she ordered something be done to the brakes...
but not to commit murder?
Yes. After the accident,
both Min Sung and Sun Jung...
were in a coma.
How is that different?
I lived and Min Sung died.
She had the intention to kill.
But the accident wasn't the direct cause of death?
- That makes no sense. - Wait.
Se Young might be telling the truth.
What?
In Ha, what is it?
What are you talking about?
The day my father died.
I thought...
someone could've done something to him.
That day,
the doctor wearing leather gloves.
I think it was Mr. Ko.
Do you think Mr. Ko turned off the ventilator?
He was probably just obeying an order.
Mr. Ko said...
he ordered Mr. Kim to tamper with the car brakes...
to get revenge for what happened to his father.
Because Mr. Yoo had ordered his father to be killed.
But...
he said you knew about it.
How much did you know?
After Mr. Yoo had died,
I'd asked Sung Jae.
Was this not a coincidence too?
Was it you?
For as long as Mr. Yoo lives, your Pandora's Box...
will never stay sealed forever.
I'd considered Sung Jae could've turned off the ventilator,
but I never thought someone else could've been behind it.
How could you pretend not to know?
Seol Yu Gyeong, you're just as evil!
Mom, fighting among ourselves won't help at all.
First, we must find out who eventually killed Dad. Right?
Yes. We must find out.
I think Mr. Yoo's real killer...
tried to make me look guilty.
I want to believe it wasn't Se Young.
She caused the accident...
and for that alone, I'll never forgive her.
She will pay for that, Mother.
Now we must find out who took Mr. Yoo off the ventilator.
She's right. We need to be strong, Mom.
Okay.
We must find that person.
(Late Ko Cheol Man)
Sung Jae?
Mr. Lee. Look around.
I think Mr. Ko was here.
He's not here.
I think Mr. Ko left it.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
I haven't seen you in a while.
At this rate, I might forget what you look like.
I'm not that pleasing to look at.
I heard your wife returned home.
She must have you wrapped around her little finger.
I'm letting her think she does.
My angelic wife is too hard to appease...
once she gets upset.
Minister Joo.
How are we to achieve greater things...
if you can't free yourself from your wife's control?
Do you want to plot something else?
Me, "plot?"
I guess I was too focused on the game.
My tongue slipped.
Minister Joo.
You don't seem to be at all worried about your daughter.
My Se Young?
Why wouldn't I be worried?
You have quite an impressive grandson who's taking...
strict legal action against his own wife.
I was unable to even tell him to go lightly on her.
I'll see if I can get to Ji Ho.
See if you can...
act like a loving father for once.
Why are you suddenly showing concern...
for my daughter?
I should.
She's my grandson's wife.
Does Se Young...
have something on you?
Minister Joo.
It was a joke. Don't take it too seriously.
You two must be really close.
You're drinking buddies.
Enjoy the chicken and have a good time.
And don't fight.
Min Sung's wife and madam.
Thank you for coming over.
You're way too drunk.
Why did you ask to see me?
What is going on?
Your daughter-in-law Joo Se Young...
is responsible for ordering Min Sung's car to be tampered with but...
But?
Someone else, the real killer turned off the ventilator.
Was that...
not a dream?
What'll you do with Se Young?
She turned herself in.
She admitted to ordering the brakes to be tampered with,
but claimed she had no intent to murder.
That's most likely true.
- Grandmother. - Take everything into account...
and see to it she's sentenced to less than three years.
And then let her off on probation.
Grandmother.
Did she blackmail you?
Even when hunting a mouse, you must give it room to run.
You'll forgive Se Young?
As if I would.
She confessed to my face that...
she gave the order to tamper with the brakes.
I'll see to it her life becomes a worse prison.
I'll make her see that living can be more painful than death.
Until she sees the worst...
and begs me to kill her instead.
Then...
what do I get in return?
That's it, Ji Ho.
You must never give me anything for free.
That's business.
I'm getting a little bored of playing with power.
Play just a little more.
I'll make you a deputy head.
That doesn't sound too bad.
I'll have a place to fall back on.
It's a very alluring offer.
- Grandma. - I couldn't sleep a wink...
and you're sleeping until this hour?
How could you?
You'll get engaged to and marry whom?
It feels like I'm home.
You're still quite energetic.
You can't marry Hye Soo. Never.
I will marry her, at any cost.
You scoundrel.
You don't care about me at all, do you?
You coldhearted fool.
I loved you so much.
How dare you?
Why does my ear tickle? Is someone badmouthing me?
You felt that?
I was grumbling to myself that you were eating my share.
It tastes even better because you cooked it.
Eat all you want.
My special Ji Ho...
can't get found out.
What is it that you don't want people to find out about Ji Ho?
I heard it.
What?
My Ji Ho...
Ji Ho, what? What about Ji Ho?
I heard him talk to Mr. Ko.
What about?
Ms. Kang?
You should finish your story.
What are you thinking about, Mother?
No.
I'm sure it was just Kang being drunk.
- "Kang?" - You had a drink with Ji Ho's mother?
Yes. She called me half-drunk and asked me to join her.
What did she say?
It can't be.
- Tell us, Mom. - Yes, Mother.
She said...
Ms. Kang. Wake up.
- Yes. - Min Sung.
The day he was taken off the ventilator,
Ji Ho talked to Mr. Ko.
"Yoo Min Sung."
"Make sure he goes to a place..."
"where he can't return from."
Is that true?
Really, Mom?
I don't know if it was a drunk rambling or the truth coming out.
But that's what she said.
(Seoul Central Detention)
You'll stand trial.
You've decided to send me to prison?
Of course not.
You're married to a chief prosecutor...
who's also Cheonha's chairman's grandson, and your father's Minister of Justice.
Get to the point.
I'll let you off on probation.
What's the condition?
I'm glad I'm getting across.
Sign this.
(Confirmation of Consensual Divorce)
(Husband: Yoo Ji Ho)
You want me to sign the divorce papers?
(Game of Witches)
Be my mom again. Please don't abandon me.
There's no going back. Leave.
Ji Ho was really the person who had my father killed?
Wait. I have a plan.
Se Young signed the divorce papers?
I'm warning you that I won't go down without a fight.
Yoo Ji Ho. I won't let you off.
