(Episode 72)
(In Ha's mother)
Hello, Mother.
Come straight home after work.
Bring In Ha with you.
Is something wrong?
What if Grandma...
were to find out that, in fact,
you killed Hye Soo's aunt and not herself?
Right now, she still thinks her filial grandson...
took the fall for what she did.
Why are both you and Chairwoman Seol...
so desperate to reveal what happened?
Chairwoman Seol too?
She told me to go tell Hye Soo the truth...
and beg for forgiveness.
My aunt's accident might not have been a hit-and-run?
I was having fermented skate and makgeolli with Ms. Kang...
and we got to talk about your aunt.
The day she died, she left saying she'd go to Yusimwon.
Yusimwon?
She met my grandma?
To ask her to give back Han Byeol?
Then why did she get into a hit-and-run in some strange place?
It's not that, Mom.
It wasn't Grandma, was it?
I went to Ms. Ma to ask but got nowhere.
But my hunch tells me something's up.
Mother.
Yes, hello. What are you doing here?
Is today some kind of special day?
I met In Ha's mom earlier for a drink.
What do you want?
Is it...
Yes, it's about my aunt.
Oh, dear...
What nonsense did I spew while I was drunk this time?
Just tell me what you know.
Are you sure my aunt said she'd go to Yusimwon that day?
I'm sure.
What?
You're mentioning Hye Soo's aunt too, out of the blue?
Have you met Hye Soo's aunt?
Are you interrogating your grandmother?
Just tell me the fact.
Your mother must've told you.
We never met.
Then why did she leave home to come here...
only to die in a hit-and-run somewhere else?
Why would you ask me?
Am I someone just anyone can meet?
Maybe she came by but wasn't allowed in.
And she died that day.
In Ha.
What are you imagining?
Do you think I hurt Hye Soo's aunt or something?
I really hope you didn't, Grandma.
I had nothing to do with Hye Soo's aunt's accident.
Believe me.
I want to.
We can see who visited Yusimwon?
The security footage would be gone by now,
but we can check the visitor log.
Even from four years ago?
Yes. These records are kept for up to five years.
Let's have a look.
(Yusimwon: Detailed Search)
Four years ago, November...
Hye Soo said her aunt's death anniversary's on the 27th.
The 27th.
Wait.
(Yusimwon: Detailed Search)
(Chairwoman Ma Hyun Duk's visitors)
Jung Min Ja. That's Hye Soo's aunt.
You said people can only enter with Grandma's permission.
Ms. Jung met Grandma that day.
(Chairwoman Ma Hyun Duk's visitors, Jung Min Ja, Joo Se Young)
Se Young came by right afterward.
What?
My aunt really met Ms. Ma before she died?
I checked the visitor log.
Grandma was there at the time.
Her name wouldn't be on record if Ms. Ma had refused to see her.
That's right.
Then why did Ms. Ma tell the both of you...
that she didn't meet my aunt?
That's suspicious.
Yes. It is suspicious.
What's weirder is that Se Young visited Yusimwon...
shortly after your aunt.
What on earth happened that day?
She told me to go tell Hye Soo the truth...
and beg for forgiveness.
What are you up to...
Seol Yu Gyeong?
(Cheonha Group Chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
(Cheonha Group Chairman Yoo Ji Ho)
Congratulations, Chairman Yoo.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Thanks, Vice-chairwoman Seol. I expect a lot from you.
Do your best.
I hope we can get along.
We'll do just fine.
- Yoo Ji Ho. - My gosh.
Darn it.
What are you doing here?
I'd like to ask what you're plotting.
"Plotting?"
You even tried to have me killed,
so what couldn't you do?
I do think, though, you've been making risky decisions.
Yes. I'll tell Hye Soo when the time is right.
The truth about her aunt's death.
You'll self-destruct?
I'll never give in to you...
and let myself be forced to step down.
Gosh.
Will you keep your mouth shut?
What?
I'm Yoo Ji Ho.
Cheonha Group's Ma Hyun Duk's successor.
Yes. Like you said,
I can ruin you or kill you.
You dare want my title when you're just a fake?
Don't even try to cause a rift...
between Hye Soo and me with some threat.
This is my final warning, Kang Ji Ho.
Tell her that her aunt didn't die in a hit-and-run.
Tell her that she died because of your mistake.
What if Grandma...
were to find out that, in fact,
you killed Hye Soo's aunt and not herself?
I wish I could crush his bones.
Se Young.
What are you doing here?
I want to confirm something.
Four years ago, November 27.
What day is that?
It's the day my aunt died.
Oh, that's right.
I heard she was killed in a hit-and-run.
Why did you come here to tell me that?
At 4:10 p.m. that day, my aunt went to Yusimwon...
and met Ms. Ma.
So what?
You were there that day too. At 4:15 p.m.
You saw my aunt, didn't you?
No.
I have no idea. I didn't see your aunt.
Then my aunt arrived, met Ms. Ma, and left within five minutes?
Without even passing you by?
I don't know, I don't remember.
How can I remember everything from four years ago?
I'd gone to tell Ms. Ma I'd break off...
my engagement to In Ha.
How do you remember that when it was four years ago?
Are you pretending to be a detective?
That issue was most important to me at the time.
Are you saying I did something to your aunt?
You're more than capable.
Why would I even try?
I was already engaged to Ji Ho then,
and Han Byeol was at Yusimwon too.
Why would I need to hurt your aunt?
That's what I must look into now.
What happened that day.
Se Young.
If you had something to do with my aunt's death,
this time I'll kill you myself.
Hye Soo, you can kill someone?
I can do everything you can.
Actually, I'll become worse than you.
That's the only way to deal with the likes of you.
This should be fun.
Have a go.
I wonder if you really can kill me.
Hye Soo's looking into her aunt's death? So what?
You know already. As usual.
What's your point?
Stop her.
With all your power and connections.
Why are you worried about me?
Hye Soo came to see me.
She even knew...
her aunt and I visited Yusimwon...
on the same day at around the same time.
I guess In Ha found that out for her.
You can't excuse In Ha anymore...
just because he's your grandson.
He's truly and completely on Hye Soo's side.
And you?
You have a video of Hye Soo's aunt.
You pose the biggest threat to me.
How can you be sure I won't take you out first?
The moment I use that video as a chip,
you'd do all you can to kill me off.
Naturally.
Why would I do anything stupid when I know that?
That video is your Achilles' heel...
and my life vest.
Yes. Keep that life vest safe.
The day that comes out is the day you die.
Don't worry about me at all...
and silence those who know about Hye Soo's aunt's accident.
- At the same time... - What?
You need to stop Hye Soo...
and In Ha from snooping around.
I thought I'd give you some advice.
I had no idea you cared so much about me.
I think sharing a secret...
puts us in the same boat...
Ms. Ma.
You did some growing up.
Lee Kyung Won. Were you snooping?
No.
I had a cup of tea in the kitchen and was just coming over...
to tell Ms. Ma your time was up.
I sent you to work for In Ha to be my spy.
Once a slave, always a slave.
Did In Ha steal your soul?
You work for him and Hye Soo in the open now.
Thanks for introducing me to Mr. Ko.
That's how I got to work with a great guy like Mr. Yoo.
I'm also pleased to be able to help Hye Soo.
Okay.
I'll consider you a prodigal son who is yet to come home.
The day will come when you kneel at my feet...
and beg me to let you work for me.
(Yusimwon)
Hye Soo's looking into her aunt's death?
Leave right away.
- Ma'am! - What are you doing?
Let go of me!
No one must speak of what happened that day.
Right. Don't worry.
The evidence is all gone.
And even if the truth were to come out,
I'll take the fall for you.
Yes.
You did that for me that day as well.
When I reached Yusimwon,
Hye Soo's aunt was on the ground by the stairs.
I was about to take her to a hospital...
when she suddenly attacked me.
I pushed her hard to defend myself,
and she fell and had a brain hemorrhage.
It killed her.
Yes.
You protected me that day.
Can you do that again?
Of course, I can.
What do you want me to do, Grandma?
Se Young saw what happened.
She took a video too.
She has been threatening me with it at every turn.
To make me allow her to leave In Ha...
and marry you instead,
she used the video to make a deal.
That's what she did.
What a brat.
She dare resorted to such lowly tactics?
If you care for me,
get the video from Se Young.
Okay. But...
what do I get in return, Grandma?
What do you want?
You know so very well.
I said it's not yet the time to abandon Seol Yu Gyeong.
Then acknowledge me...
as your successor.
You want me to promise I'll replace Yu Gyeong with you?
Yes.
Instead of In Ha who betrayed you to side with her and Hye Soo,
acknowledge me, officially.
Okay.
I'll do that.
Do you and I...
still have a reason to chat over a drink?
Let me pour you one.
As long as you live to die and die to live,
you'll be my role model.
I thought you'd take me for a traitor.
Who isn't a traitor?
I betray myself all the time too.
You want to be a good, law-abiding person,
but you go against it?
I believe you're the same too.
Get to the point.
Your angelic wife is playing a very risky game.
A risky game?
Do you remember Hye Soo's aunt's hit-and-run?
I believe it happened four years ago.
- What about it? - That accident...
involves my grandmother, me, Se Young,
and Ms. Seol.
We're in it together and there's no getting out.
If one person messes up,
they'll take the other three down too.
Talk to me so I can explain.
Honey.
You're like...
a raw onion that keeps shedding another layer.
What do you mean?
Hye Soo's aunt.
It wasn't a hit-and-run accident?
Ms. Ma thinks...
she killed the woman,
but Se Young's the killer.
And you and Ji Ho covered it up?
What am I to you?
Why do you make me feel so alone?
I'm sorry.
I was busy covering for Se Young at the time.
I didn't want to involve you too.
I want to know all about what happens to you...
and all about what you want to do.
I want you to rely on me more than anyone...
and I want you to need me.
I know you're the best ally I could have.
I'll tell you everything from now on.
You're right next to me,
but it feels like...
there's an invisible wall.
Honey. Please don't do this to me.
What?
Se Young has a video related to Hye Soo's aunt?
Yes. I think it's related to Ms. Ma as well.
Hye Soo's aunt's accident.
What did Se Young say?
She feigned ignorance, of course.
But I got the impression she knows something.
She seemed anxious.
I think she has a video related to your aunt's accident.
- A video? - Yes.
She used it to threaten Grandma.
We must get that first.
Yes. Kyung Won and I will work on that.
I have to see someone too.
(A better tomorrow, correction with hope)
I didn't think you'd visit.
You were sentenced to five years?
Yes. I deserve it.
I want to ask you something.
I trust you won't lie.
Go ahead.
Four years ago.
You were Ms. Ma's closest and most trusted person.
You know about my aunt's hit-and-run accident, don't you?
I won't say much.
If In Ha or Hye Soo comes to ask you...
about her aunt's death, keep your mouth shut.
I don't work for you any longer.
What? You ungrateful fool.
Do you know why I let you live...
when you killed my son Min Sung?
I don't.
You would've killed me many times over.
I'd found out that...
Min Sung had ordered your father to be killed.
I'd wanted to get rid of you right then and there,
but as a son,
I see you had no choice but to get revenge.
That's how I decided to see it.
I apologize.
Right now,
I'm doing my very best...
to not have you killed off.
So you...
must do as I say.
What do you want from me?
The truth you know. Keep it hidden.
I don't know much.
You do know something, then.
Mr. Ko. Please help me.
My aunt didn't die...
in a hit-and-run, did she?
If...
Ms. Ma had anything to do with her death,
they'd have tried to make it look accidental.
Look into Ms. An.
- You asked to see me? - Take a seat.
I just got back from visiting Mr. Ko.
Why would you tell me that?
I'm dropping a hint to discourage you from lying.
Jung Min Ja. Do you remember her?
Jung Min Ja?
I don't really...
She was killed wrongfully...
and it might have been covered up with a hit-and-run...
and you don't even remember her name?
I don't know what you're talking...
How about this? November 27, 2019.
My aunt visited Yusimwon...
and died in a hit-and-run accident.
Ms. Ma did something to her...
and you cleaned it up, didn't you, An Hee Young?
Do you know how many things I do for Ms. Ma...
and the people I serve in a year?
What?
I don't know if your aunt was involved in some unfortunate manner,
but our job doesn't allow us the luxury of remembering every name...
Director.
People even bury stray cats...
and want to leave something to remember them.
How could you not remember?
Jung Min Ja, my aunt!
Remember her. Call on your memory.
Ms. Ma hurt her,
and you cleaned up, didn't you?
Tell me!
What are you up to this time that you want us to have some wine?
It's time we sort out the situation with a cool mind.
What situation?
Why are you trying to distract me with your fancy words?
Who do you want to get back at the most, other than me?
Hye Soo and Seol Yu Gyeong.
Yes, especially Seol Yu Gyeong.
I want to topple her too.
And you want Hye Soo?
Let's refrain from upsetting each other tonight.
What are you getting at?
People with a common enemy can become allies to get what they want.
Until we bring Seol Yu Gyeong down,
how about a truce between us two?
A truce?
A symbiotic relationship.
Yes, a symbiotic relationship.
It's a very alluring suggestion.
Cheers.
Why did you suddenly want to see me alone?
Is there some secret?
Have you heard anything about Hye Soo's aunt's death?
Why are you asking me about that?
Hye Soo and In Ha think there's a secret to the accident.
A secret?
I think Ms. Ma's involved.
This could put both In Ha and Hye Soo in danger.
They're our kids. We must protect them.
Ma Hyun Duk, you evil witch!
What do you think you're doing, Hye Soo?
Answer my question.
Jung Min Ja, my aunt.
Did you kill her?
What?
I'll show no mercy.
You're evil.
I'll count to three.
- One. - No.
I really don't know anything.
- Two. - Wait.
I really don't know a thing. I don't, I swear.
- Three. - No!
(Yusimwon)
(Game of Witches)
Grandma! How could you do this to me?
Show yourself, Grandma!
Did Ms. Ma tell you to delete the video from my phone?
What are you doing?
You and I both should just go down together.
I won't be able to stop Hye Soo,
but I want to protect her.
I need someone to look over her.
