(Episode 83)
You both look lovely.
- Is everything ready? - Yes.
Our engagement is just a formality.
Please prepare well for the press conference.
Are you not here yet?
Hurry over. I feel so nervous.
I'm just about to leave. You haven't had breakfast, have you?
Of course not. I was too nervous to eat.
Porridge? Sounds good.
Oh, In Ha's favorite is abalone porridge.
Anything will do.
Hye Soo, what porridge do you like?
Porridge?
I'm thinking of getting some on the way.
I'm not that hungry.
Ms. Seol. Hye Soo likes vegetable porridge.
Okay, I'll get you some.
I didn't feel like it.
Accept it, for your mom who wants to bring her child food.
I brought some porridge in case In Ha and Hye Soo...
don't get to eat during the ceremony.
And give this to Ms. Min.
She must have starved with all the nerves.
Okay.
(Min Sun Jung)
Well done, Ms. An.
Today's press conference...
I don't feel like it, but food will keep me going.
If I can't eat rice, I'll have porridge instead.
It tastes good.
I think everyone's here. Shouldn't we begin?
The ceremony will begin soon.
The kids must be nervous. I'll check on them.
Where's Mom?
She could've gone to the hall.
There's only one way to get to the hall from the waiting room.
She didn't come that way.
(Son)
Do you think something happened?
What? She hasn't come back?
Where did you see Ms. Min?
She went up the stairs.
I thought she was going to get some air to help with the nerves.
Mom.
Mom!
- Mom! - Mother!
- Mom!
Oh, no! Is she okay?
- Call for help. - I'll call it in.
Can someone call for help?
Mom.
No...
Mom.
Mom!
Mom.
Mom. Are you...
Rest in peace...
step-mom.
Let's go!
It looks like something happened.
Ma'am. Ms. Min jumped from the roof.
- What? - She what?
(Cheonha Hospital)
How could she die like this?
She survived the car crash she was in with Dad.
So why would she kill herself?
How could she jump in front of her son?
What kind of mother does that?
I don't believe she did it willingly.
She wouldn't leave you alone.
There's no way.
But you saw it too.
How can I not believe what I saw?
You said we shouldn't let our kids waste away fighting for revenge.
You said we should do it for them because we're moms.
And you killed yourself?
Sun Jung, you're not that kind of person.
There has to be a secret to your death.
I'll find out...
who did this to you.
She was the strongest, most passionate,
and most energetic person I knew.
She'd have willingly died for you,
but she'd never take her own life before the press conference.
Do you think someone harmed her?
In Ha and I saw her jump.
No one forced her.
She willingly...
Why?
How?
Who do you think harmed my mom?
Those who wanted to cancel the press conference.
Was it Ji Ho and Se Young again?
We can't leave out Ms. Ma.
(Poison, Joo Se Young)
Why are you here dressed in black?
Is your GPS broken?
- It was you, wasn't it? - What was?
Min Sun Jung. My step-mother.
Did you push her?
Does the Cheonha chairman have nothing better to do?
Or do you miss being a prosecutor where you could show off?
How dare you interrogate me?
Let's call it an ex-chief prosecutor's hunch.
Min Sun Jung, who was planning a surprise press conference,
offed herself?
It makes no sense at all.
Does it make sense that a chief prosecutor...
who was fired for killing his own father...
became Cheonha Group's chairman?
Are you upset?
That you lost out on becoming a chairman's wife?
You don't know me at all, Ji Ho.
Do you think I'd be satisfied with being a chairman's wife?
I'll bring you down...
and become chairwoman myself.
I'm going to take your title.
You dream big for a murderer.
- You're a pot calling the kettle black. - What?
You're doing your best to frame...
someone else so you can remain chairman.
You're the real killer, aren't you?
Disguising her murder as a suicide.
It was your doing.
Not at all, Se Young.
You did it.
No. You did it.
It's the video she told me to watch after the press conference.
It's all she left to me.
It'll contain what she wanted to say to you.
We should watch...
and take it to heart.
Later. I'll watch it later.
Okay.
Watch it when you're ready.
You went to the cemetery?
Yes. I had to see her off.
We had a relationship too weird to call a friendship,
but at least I could talk to her.
Okay. Get some rest. You might fall ill too.
Wait. Ji Ho.
Something bothers me.
Your son might be punished soon.
Are you talking nonsense when you're sober?
What did my precious son do that he'd be punished?
Don't blame me,
and don't be too upset for him.
We reap what we sow.
Why do you think she said you'd be punished?
I think...
she was jealous.
What do you mean?
In Ha...
isn't actually Ms. Ma's grandson.
Is that true?
The late Yoo Min Sung wasn't In Ha's biological father.
My gosh.
What does all this mean?
What do you think it means?
Your son is the sole heir to Cheonha Group.
Since we're on the topic...
You and I know the truth.
Even the heavens know you're a fake so how...
Will you keep your mouth shut?
Right. Even walls have ears.
I tell myself to be careful but I keep forgetting.
Look at yourself in the mirror each morning and remind yourself.
"My Ji Ho is Ma Hyun Duk's only grandson."
"Cheonha Group belongs to Ji Ho." Okay?
I have to go out.
Wait. Ji Ho.
Did you really have nothing to do with it?
With what?
I thought about it,
and I just don't think In Ha's mom would've killed herself.
Do you think someone killed her, then?
And you think that was me?
It wasn't, was it?
No, right?
Mom.
Trust me. It was not me.
I'm busy working for Ms. Ma,
so I can't be with Mr. Yoo.
He must be so sad.
I can't believe this happened.
Why did that cheerful, bright person do that?
I think I was the last person to see her alive.
Did she look unusual or different than any other time?
Did she look anxious?
No.
When I passed her the porridge,
she was busy studying her script.
Then why...
Why did she go up on the roof?
The autopsy shows...
nothing that points to a possible murder.
Any drugs?
We didn't find any drugs...
or medication in her system that would suggest murder.
We only proved that...
Ms. Min had been taking...
sleeping pills and antidepressants for a long time.
Do you mean...
my mom...
killed herself in a drugged haze?
The conclusion will be...
that she took her own life while hallucinating.
You know better than anyone that she wouldn't do that.
I can't let Sun Jung go like this.
You don't think it was suicide?
The porridge I had Mr. Lee pass to her was abalone porridge.
But the porridge she'd eaten before heading to the roof...
was mushroom porridge. Why is that?
It could've been swapped out.
Sung Jae. Look into it in secret.
I must find out why she died so suddenly.
I understand.
Seol Yu Gyeong...
wants to look into Min Sun Jung's suicide?
(Cheonha Group Chairman Yoo Ji Ho)
Ms. An, come in.
Yes, sir.
You're scaring me, Hye Soo.
She died after eating the porridge you gave her.
You really have no idea?
Are you saying I gave Mr. Yoo's mother tainted porridge?
It's possible.
Before you gave Mom the mushroom porridge,
think if anything else happened.
I saw Ms. An leave the waiting room.
She was carrying an identical bag of porridge.
I don't know where to start.
You must wonder why I'm recording this.
I wanted to wish you and Hye Soo...
a lovely life together filled with love.
In Ha and Hye Soo.
If you think you're first cousins,
you're wrong.
In Ha's not Yoo Min Sung's biological son.
Son. You must be so surprised.
I loved this other man.
Your birth father's name is Do Chan Ho.
He moved to the US long ago.
I don't have the guts to say this to your face,
so I'm recording this instead, and I won't ask you to understand.
If Ms. Ma were to find this out,
you'll lose out on being a rich heir...
and successor of a huge company.
But...
you gain the right to love Hye Soo.
I believe that my son In Ha...
values his love for Hye Soo more than...
the right to inherit a huge fortune.
That's why I decided to tell you the painful truth.
Don't give up.
Don't let Hye Soo go.
Hold onto her tight.
Son. I love you.
And I bless your love too.
With all my heart.
Mr. Ko.
You're the chief secretary now.
I'm glad you're okay.
I know you mean that.
Why did you want to see me?
There's a listening device.
Is this room safe?
It's the safest room in the whole building.
Yoo Ji Ho that scumbag.
He's chairman now but he hasn't changed.
He's my master now and I don't like what you just said.
The day Ms. Min jumped to her death,
there was an issue with her porridge.
You're crossing the line.
No. You need to tell me.
Because I want to know.
Isn't it Seol Yu Gyeong who wants to know?
It's the same thing.
As chief secretary, I can tell you this.
I will not and cannot tell you.
Okay.
Don't tell me.
But if I'm asking the right question, all you have to do is nod.
The porridge Ms. Min ate.
Did you swap it out?
Did you put something in it?
No.
Who put you up to it?
Was it Yoo Ji Ho?
Joo Se Young?
Ms. Ma?
Seol Yu Gyeong thinks Min Sun Jung was killed.
That it wasn't suicide.
I heard the autopsy results pointed to suicide.
There are always people out there who believe the truth is false.
I'll be the first person she suspects.
Then I'll be the first person they come to.
Correct.
What do you want me to do?
- Tell the truth. - What?
Tell them who told you to swap the porridge.
Are you serious?
Yes.
You want me to tell them you gave the order?
Come on. You should know better than that.
Who's behind me?
My grandma always has my back.
Ms. Ma Hyun Duk.
I'm just her puppet.
Even at this moment, the real chairman...
is Ma Hyun Duk.
So of course, Min Sun Jung's real killer...
is Ma Hyun Duk.
Don't you agree, Grandma?
(Game of Witches)
Grandma!
Now you're just my sworn enemy who killed my mother.
There's a listening device in Ms. Seol's office?
We can use it against them.
They'll think we suspect Ms. Ma.
Leave Cheonha Group to me now, Grandma.
