(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)
(Episode 89)
Yes, I'm at the police station.
To make a report.
Let's not expect too much.
They'll probably all be acquitted.
Then I'll report them again.
I'll keep trying until it works. I won't give up.
Okay. Let's not give up, not ever.
Even if we are throwing raw eggs at a boulder, let's not stop.
Let's believe that one day, the boulder will crack.
Yes, let's do so.
(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)
I heard you had fallen ill, but you seem just fine.
They dared to portray me as a murderer.
They're even treating my successor Ji Ho...
as if he was found guilty already.
Why would the great Ma Hyun Duk...
care so much about a mere rumor?
I raised a fool who was unrelated to me as my own for over 30 years.
How dare he return the favor by betraying me?
You must still consider him a grandson.
As if I do. Ji Ho is my only grandson.
I see why you're angry.
Why don't we seize this opportunity...
to decide right from wrong?
"Right from wrong?"
(Cheonha Group Chairman Yoo Ji Ho)
We subpoena you...
as a person of interest in the deaths and possible murders...
of Jung Min Ja and Min Sun Jung.
Please come to Seoul District Prosecutors' Office by March 15, 10 a.m.
Mr. Yoon.
Who are you people? What are you doing in my office?
Joo Se Young, you're subpoenaed as a person of interest in the deaths...
and possible murders of Jung Min Ja and Min Sun Jung.
Darn it.
What did you just say?
You had who subpoenaed?
Yoo Ji Ho was subpoenaed as a person of interest.
Why you...
Thanks to your fake grandson,
you have a lot to worry about.
- Minister Joo. - Prosecutor General Kang...
insisted on even bringing you in for questioning.
I had a really hard time dissuading him.
(Cheonha Hospital)
The fool who did this to you.
I won't ever forgive him.
So get well soon.
What on earth is going on?
Why did Yoo In Ha name my Ji Ho...
as a treacherous murderer?
Goodness.
He must be so upset himself.
Will they end up finding out he's a fake?
Oh, dear...
Ms. Kang.
Goodness. What are you doing here?
Why are you so startled? Were you up to no good?
Couldn't you have at least made a sound?
What's this? Is it for me?
I thought you'd feel frustrated and worried.
It'll cool you right down.
Are you now officially a part-timer?
This is the job for me.
Come by for some chicken and beer.
Thanks. You're the only one who seems to care about me.
Will making them a person of interest be enough to find them guilty?
Lots of people go from persons of interest to suspects.
I gave all our evidence to the police,
and Minister Joo's helping as best he can.
It'll be different this time.
What if Ji Ho and Se Young refuse to show up?
That won't be easy.
With the media and the authorities watching closely,
if they refuse to cooperate,
it's as good as confirming the suspicion.
We must get them to pay this time.
(Yusimwon)
Your blood pressure's too high.
Try not to get too stressed out.
It's not the first time my blood pressure's too high.
Why don't you get a full physical checkup?
Why? Do you think I'm dying of something?
No. They say it's best to be safe than sorry.
I get a physical checkup every year.
I got checked up last year.
I have a slight case of diabetes and high blood pressure, but I'm fine.
You should get checked up this year too.
If anything minor shows up, you can get it treated.
And if there's nothing wrong with you, you can rest assured knowing you're well.
You should live a long, healthy life.
Were you asked to come in too?
You too, obviously?
Am I a scapegoat?
Why do you drag me into everything?
Don't show up, then. Why are you so upset?
You're thinking of a way to save your skin, aren't you?
What did you do this time?
We all have to fend for ourselves in the long run.
Find your own way out.
I knew you'd do this.
Why did you even want to get back with me?
That was your idea.
Plus, weren't you and I just allies of convenience?
Do you think I'll go down on my own?
I might just take both you and Ms. Ma down too.
Watch it.
Do you want me to report you for killing Hye Soo's aunt?
Don't forget that I have your Achilles' Heel.
Se Young. Do you want me to tell you...
exactly how Min Sun Jung died?
You did it once, so you can do it twice?
Wouldn't you rather become a murderer...
than let the truth out that you're not Ms. Ma's grandson?
Relax, Se Young.
What do Hye Soo and In Ha want right now?
It's for us to fight each other.
What else is there left to do?
There's still a way out for us both.
Our only way.
What is it? You'd better not talk nonsense.
Who could hurt both Hye Soo's aunt and Min Sun Jung?
There's just one other person.
Have you come up with a strategy to promote Femme Fatale?
Rather than launching a new brand,
shouldn't you be focusing on recovering our damaged reputation?
Yes, that's right.
What's going on?
Can you just tell us?
What happened?
Don't fall for groundless rumors. They're nothing but lies.
Chairman Yoo is the one who's lying.
Everything Mr. Yoo said on the live stream is true.
Shut your mouth, Jung Hye Soo.
Chairman Yoo. You stop making excuses and tell the truth.
You covered for Se Young who killed my aunt,
and then you poisoned Mr. Yoo's mother.
I did not. It's a lie.
Prove to us that you're not guilty.
How could you be suspected of murder?
This is preposterous.
I won't give money to a murderer.
Give me back my money!
Will you calm down?
I'm just a person of interest.
Who are you calling a murderer?
Don't get so worked up.
If you're so righteous, don't avoid the interrogation.
If you can't explain this away,
me and my fellow investors will all demand a refund.
(Cheonha Hospital)
Are you done?
I went with it because you wouldn't stop hounding me.
I'm exhausted.
You would be. You should get some rest.
Why? Is something bothering you?
Let's make a stop on the way.
Why did you replace Hye Soo with Kang Ju...
when you knew Hye Soo was Mi So?
It was to preserve...
the Cheonha Group I'd built up.
- What? - You were...
too much like the only woman my late husband loved.
I couldn't stand you,
and you expected me to put up with your daughter too?
Is that why you tried to...
kill Mi So in that fire?
As if that wasn't enough,
you got Ji Ho to harm her again?
Who else can I trust?
I have just you.
You wanted to make me chairwoman...
and put me in charge of the paper company?
Do you think I'll fall for it?
If you care for the company,
the wise thing to do is to get me out of here.
Not at all.
You're a long way off from paying your dues.
Seol Yu Gyeong.
You're such a hard person to get rid of.
I never thought...
you'd end up in a hospital bed in this state.
I was most excited when we were fighting.
We never backed down.
If the commander's formidable enough, even if they're your enemy,
they gain your respect.
Seol Yu Gyeong.
If you're going to be this weak which is so uncharacteristic of you,
I'd rather you just move on to the afterlife.
If you can't do that yourself, I'll send you off.
I won't wait long.
You go ahead,
view the fiery pits,
then welcome me when it's my time.
What? You don't like that idea?
If that's the case, then get well.
Grit your teeth and fight.
Do you feel better?
You got your way.
You named your ex-grandmother...
and ex-half brother a murderer.
That's...
what you made the world think. Did it make you feel better?
I wish it did.
I wish I felt great and relieved.
Why did it have to be you?
Why did it have to be Ji Ho?
I still can't believe that you...
hurt my mom...
and also Hye Soo's aunt.
You fool.
Do you still think you're my grandson?
Now you know I'm not, you should lie low and live quietly.
How dare you step up and threaten me?
How dare you...
attack Ji Ho yourself?
Because I believed I had to.
I thought I should be the one to do it...
to make you and Ji Ho face your mistakes.
If you even considered...
me as your grandmother,
and Ji Ho as your brother, you should've covered it up.
How could you go public?
Please, admit to what you did...
and pay the price.
That's the only way you'll ever gain any forgiveness...
and mercy.
Forgiveness means nothing to me.
Forgiving or being forgiven, to me,
doesn't exist.
Ma'am!
This is what I did and how I lived...
for the company and for my blood.
That's the life I chose,
and even for you now,
I won't go lightly anymore.
If you dare threaten the company...
or my family once more,
I myself...
will take you down.
Remember that.
(Yusimwon)
Grandma.
I heard you'd gone to the hospital and came over in case you were ill.
I'm fine.
I got a few basic tests done.
- Come inside. - Okay.
Even the back of his head annoys me.
When do the results come out?
In a few days.
I don't feel unwell, but I have so much on my mind,
I wanted to be sure I'm fine.
Try not to feel too bothered.
I'll take care of everything.
First of all, you need to placate our investors.
If they demand a refund, it'll dry up the cash flow...
and the company will struggle.
Yes. I know a few trusted investors.
The company you built up will withstand...
even the worst of storms.
Who am I? I'm your grandson.
Trust me...
and relax and paint some orchids.
How will you handle the questioning?
I'll deny all the charges.
Good. I'm sure you know how to handle things,
but remember, don't ever let your guard down.
I won't, Grandma.
What did you just say?
That I want to register you as our daughter.
Why out of the blue?
It's not out of the blue.
I'd discussed it with my wife.
But she's still in hospital.
Wouldn't it be a great gift for her when she wakes up?
If she were to see you're our legal daughter.
I'll think about it.
My wife's daughter is mine as well.
What's going on?
What are you doing here, Se Young?
You want to register her as your daughter as soon as you canceled my adoption?
- I'll let you talk. - Thanks.
You can't barge in here.
- Do you still have no manners? - Dad!
I'm no longer your dad. Where's your sense of reality?
Hye Soo isn't your daughter either.
She's the daughter of my wife and that makes her mine too.
Are you the one who got me subpoenaed?
If you commit a crime, you pay for it.
No one can be beyond the law.
I was so darn stupid.
I won't ask you for help again.
I'll forget that you ever were my dad.
Darn it.
Why does everyone treat me like this?
Why am I always being persecuted?
I did nothing wrong. I was forced to make those choices.
Ji Ho, I'll do as you say.
Good. You're doing the right thing.
This is the only way out for us both.
(Prosecutors' Office)
Here they are.
(Prosecutors' Office)
Chairman Yoo.
People say you were summoned as a person of interest,
but they actually think you're a suspect.
What do you say about that?
It's fine.
I'll say this.
To the people who supported...
Cheonha Group, Ma Hyun Duk, and then me in turn,
I apologize sincerely for causing concern.
Look at that show he's putting on.
He should do acting instead of doing law and business.
As chairman of Cheonha Group,
I swear on Cheonha Group's honor.
Before I became chairman,
I worked in this very building.
I gave my all to uphold the law and justice.
Would I have changed my values or ways...
just because I became chairman?
I did nothing to be ashamed of.
You're a fraud! You're lying!
- Chairman. Any further comments? - Let's go.
I'll get you a new coat.
These scumbags.
Is Se Young a no-show?
I thought you'd ditched me.
As if I would.
I said I'd come. Have some trust.
It's the first time since our divorce that I'm pleased to see you.
Let's do this, Mr. Yoon.
The questioning.
I did nothing illegal.
But I do know who harmed Jung Min Ja and Min Sun Jung.
I'm blameless.
If I so much as utter one lie, I wouldn't mind...
if I were struck by lightning.
But I do know who brought about the deaths of Jung Min Ja...
and Min Sun Jung.
Who is it?
It's Ma Hyun Duk.
Are you sure? It's Ma Hyun Duk?
Yes. I'm sure.
It's Ma Hyun Duk.
Ji Ho and Se Young both named Ms. Ma as the killer?
They insist she killed...
both Jung Min Ja and Min Sun Jung.
It's true that Ms. Ma was involved,
but it was Se Young who dealt my aunt the final blow.
And Ji Ho was the one who planned In Ha's mother's murder.
There's no proof.
There's nothing to say Ms. Ma is guilty either.
They both submitted proof.
They handed in the video.
The one we all saw.
- Ma'am! - What are you doing?
- Ma'am. - Let go of me!
My aunt was still alive at the time.
We haven't found anything to prove that.
Do the prosecutors...
believe Ms. Ma killed Hye Soo's aunt?
The video is clear proof.
What about the proof that Ms. Ma killed Ms. Min?
They have nothing.
I can't say they have crucial evidence,
but there's enough to say she incited it.
There's proof...
on my phone that my grandmother incited Ms. Min's murder.
Show it to me yourself.
What's this?
It's a hallucinogenic drug made with dried mushrooms.
It comes in useful...
when there's someone you wish to get rid of.
I hope you won't have to use it,
but in life, things tend to not always go how you'd like.
Sir.
This recording alone isn't enough to say...
that Ms. Ma planned and ordered Min Sun Jung's death.
Then how about...
you question chief secretary An Hee Young?
She'll have given...
Ms. An a more direct order.
I didn't know the porridge was for Ms. Min.
I was only told...
to pick up the porridge and swap it with what Ms. Seol had brought.
By Ms. Ma.
Min Sun Jung's second autopsy showed...
she'd ingested psilocybin, magic mushroom powder.
Didn't you add that to the porridge?
I did not.
I don't even know what psilocybin looks like.
Something's not right.
Their statements are too perfect, as if they discussed it.
They probably did.
Ji Ho and Se Young...
are framing Ms. Ma to save themselves.
I recorded Ms. An slipping up and saying...
Ji Ho added the powder to the porridge.
I gave it to the police when I reported them.
What are you talking about? This is news to me.
- Hello, Minister. - Mr. Yoon.
Did the police...
send you everything Yoo In Ha gave them?
- Yes. - What about Ms. An's recording?
There wasn't one.
I'll see if anything got left out...
and call you back.
Check right now.
The minister asked about Ms. An's recording.
- As you thought... - Did you take care of it?
Yes.
Mr. Yoon.
Look far ahead.
I told you, I need a right-hand man.
First, take down my grandma.
You'll end up doing something...
not even a chief prosecutor, deputy head of the branch,
or prosecutor general could do.
Imagine...
your bright future.
You'll get to take down Ma Hyun Duk.
Wouldn't that be exciting?
Isn't that so thrilling?
(Game of Witches)
How dare you think you can take me in? Don't touch me!
Let's keep this quiet. Please cooperate.
Where's the psilocybin packet we got from Ji Ho's office?
There is a secret safe,
but only Ms. Seol has the code.
There must be some kind of proof somewhere.
If this is true, it's clear proof that Se Young's the culprit.
