(Episode 27)
Who is it?
It's me.
Let me in.
How come...
Did the police release you?
No, I escaped.
I...
I have something to tell you.
Can I come in?
What is it about?
Please open the door.
It's all because of me.
My father's dead.
I couldn't even go to the funeral.
In case the police might catch me.
If they get me now, I'll never get out again.
I must be getting punished.
I must be paying for...
everything I did.
I'll tell you everything.
From start to finish.
I'll even tell you how your mom died.
I'll tell you everything.
It'll be hard,
but can you hear me out?
Geum Tae Seong...
had the poolside security footage...
from the night Ji Eun died.
Let's get Eun Chae A to pay us more.
To prevent future problems, we can silence him forever.
I thought it would be fine...
if I got rid of that video.
I thought that would put an end to everything.
But in that car...
Your mother was in the car, and I had no idea she would be.
No, stop!
I'm so sorry.
I really am.
I'm sorry.
Why are you telling me this?
What is it you truly want?
After my father died,
I had this thought.
Everything I'd done...
Every bad thing...
I did it...
for my father and mother.
I thought that was why I put up with it all.
I thought I had covered up the death of Ji Eun and your mother...
for your sake.
But I was wrong.
It was all for me.
I was sick of being a nobody.
I wanted to have a different life.
I got greedy.
I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
How could I ask for that?
I just...
I thought that telling you the truth now...
would be the least I could do.
Do you mean that?
I do.
Fine.
Then tell the cops...
what you just told me.
So that the whole world finds out...
what happened to my mom and sister.
You reveal the truth.
Okay.
I'll do that.
I'll tell everyone what I did.
But right now,
no one will believe me.
I was framed as well.
I don't deserve to ask,
but if you'll...
let me stay here,
I'll sort it all out.
I have a plan.
I can't do anything if I'm caught now.
Call the police if you want to.
If you want me to be arrested,
I'll go with that.
My life...
is in your hands.
Okay.
Then be arrested.
Is this the police?
I want to make a report.
(Time)
Eat.
Just enough to stay alive.
Thanks.
If you're planning something else,
you'd better stop.
Because then both of us will really die.
Ji Hyeon.
Can I say goodbye to my dad before he's buried?
Never mind.
What right do I have?
Min Seok...
is at my place.
He will be...
for a while.
He's a wanted man.
You could get into trouble for hiding him.
I'll find a safer hiding place.
If you help,
won't you get into trouble just the same?
Min Seok and I are planning something.
You are?
Do you...
want in?
Did you get through to Lawyer Shin?
He said he'd take the fall...
and deal with Seol Ji Hyeon too,
but his father suddenly died.
So?
He will deal with it all.
Are you sure?
You know better than I do what he's like.
- You still haven't found him? - Not yet.
He wasn't at the funeral...
or at his place.
Where on earth is he?
Mr. Nam.
Can we have a chat?
You know that Shin Min Seok didn't try to kill...
Seol Ji Hyeon, don't you?
I'm not sure.
The police said it was his doing.
I heard that the same person...
who tried to kill Ji Hyeon tried to kill him too.
What are you talking about?
What is your point?
Don't you need...
a little insurance?
Pardon?
Shin Min Seok worked for the chairman,
but he's been cut loose...
and was even framed.
Who can guarantee that won't happen to you?
That's what I mean...
by offering you insurance.
So,
what is your offer?
Don't just work for the chairman.
Why not work for me too?
I'll pay you exactly three times your current salary.
I already have insurance.
Seol Ji Eun.
You confessed to killing her...
in your own words.
That's my handbag...
and the blood on it is Seol Ji Eun's.
The DNA testing is complete.
What are you doing?
The same evidence wasn't admissible then,
but it could be this time.
Depending on who investigates.
And on how the media reacts.
The fire in the cell that killed Kang In Bum.
I know that was you.
I also know you had made a deal with him.
I found that out while tapping Lawyer Shin's phone.
I kept that as insurance.
Of course, I told the chairman.
Ms. Eun.
Don't you need insurance?
Why don't you...
help us locate Lawyer Shin?
Welcome. Take a seat.
It's been difficult, hasn't it?
After Soo Ho died,
I could barely sleep at night.
You lived with him and must've felt worse.
I haven't...
let him go yet.
Isn't that normal?
I'm curious.
Even when your son's dead,
will you go on ignoring the truth?
Right.
That's why I asked to see you.
I'll be honest.
I can't forgive Chairman Cheon.
From the second I found out Soo Ho existed,
I couldn't forgive him.
How it feels...
to raise a child born between my husband...
and another woman?
You will never understand.
I think that although our motivations are unlike,
we share a goal.
Which is why...
I'd like you to...
manage the foundation.
If you don't,
you could disappear without anyone knowing.
You could die.
You must...
become a director...
to gain enough power to fight the chairman.
I'm the one who exposed...
your foundation's corruption, causing your resignation.
And...
you want me to take over?
Like I said,
we have the same goal.
Welcome back.
You'll take over the foundation?
The article said Soo Ho's brother made the offer.
Focus on your own mess.
You're wanted and could be arrested at any moment.
If they made the offer, they'll have an ulterior motive.
It could be a trap.
I'm sure it is.
I'm not as naive and trusting as I used to be.
So don't worry about that.
Get up. We're going out.
Where?
What's this? Did you do this?
Yes.
Don't touch anything in my house.
- Okay, sorry. - If you want to stay,
just don't do anything, okay?
Follow me.
Where are we going?
Get in.
[VIU Ver] MBC E27 Time "You Would Never Be Happy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Thanks for coming, Ji Hyeon.
I'm sure...
he will be able to rest in peace at a good place.
I heard about everything.
You've been through a lot, haven't you?
I saw on the news that...
my Min Seok...
tried to kill someone or something.
It's not true, is it?
It's not.
You know...
he wouldn't do that.
Thank you.
Just a moment.
What are you doing here?
Are you on duty?
It doesn't look like you are.
We are.
You released Min Seok so he could kill me.
And you're on stakeout here?
What are you talking about?
If you don't know what I'm talking about,
should I explain it to you through the press?
I think it's going to happen that way anyway.
I told you not to drink.
Let's go.
What was that about?
This way.
Min Seok.
(Funeral Hall)
He's inside.
What are you going to do for me now?
When I have more faith in our relationship,
I'll consider giving you a position.
Mom,
I have to go now.
I'll be back soon...
after I sort out everything.
Yes, please keep in contact.
Min Seok,
make sure you don't skip your meals.
Thank you, Ji Hyeon.
You too.
Could you get in the car first?
I need a minute with Ji Hyeon.
Okay.
(Funeral Hall)
Where have you been?
I thought you really ran away.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to get rid of Seol Ji Hyeon yourself?
You better tell me now if you can't.
We can make you turn yourself in with that suicide note.
I will, no matter not.
How can I believe you?
I don't have a choice.
My father passed away,
but my mother has to live.
I'm going to take care of my mother for the rest of my life.
I am proceeding with the plan to kill Ji Hyeon.
Don't try to intervene and ruin the plan.
What if you're lying right now?
Then you can kill me.
Like how you tried last time.
What do you have to say?
We need to change the plan.
How so?
Chairman Cheon isn't easy to deal with.
We need a plan that is safer.
We can't afford to worry about that.
If you're scared, drop out of the plan.
We are going with the plan no matter what.
Do you really trust...
Lawyer Shin?
No.
I'm going to be careful with him.
Do you trust me?
I don't trust you.
Do you...
trust me?
No.
Ji Hyeon,
I'm sorry.
For what?
I didn't go to your sister and mother's funeral...
because I didn't want to.
I'm sure you didn't want to come today.
You're wrong.
I wanted to come.
It's not like your parents are strangers to me.
I've been seeing them for six years.
You're sorry?
Then behave that way.
If you're really that sorry.
Will you two be okay?
If anything happens, just let me know.
Sit and stay here.
Don't you dare come near my room.
Don't go near Cheon Soo Ho's room either.
What are you doing? I told you not to move.
I need to look for an escape route just in case someone breaks in.
We don't know what might happen right now.
What are you doing?
Just let me drink today.
No.
You don't deserve that.
I actually thought about...
what things would be like if we never broke up.
Like you said,
we would be paying off our debts together,
living together in a small rented apartment.
What if we just lived a normal life...
and didn't care about the money.
What if I actually fought...
for the truth about Ji Eun...
from the start until the end.
Do you think we would've been happy that way?
No.
You would never be happy.
Even if you made a different choice,
you would still be regretting...
and feeling sorry for yourself.
Do you not regret our current situation?
- No, I don't regret it. - I see.
That's more like you.
What if...
this doesn't work?
What then?
It'll work out.
I'll make sure it does.
When did you find out Soo Ho was sick?
Only recently.
Shortly before he died.
You should've told me.
I'm his father.
Would that have changed anything?
Soo Ho...
would've died anyway...
because of you.
I don't know what you heard to make you say that.
Why are you here?
To hold you responsible for Soo Ho's death.
But what use is that?
The living must go on living.
Lawyer Shin once said something.
"When a war breaks out, someone dies."
"That's why I don't want a war."
I feel the same.
The speculations you heard about me.
If you don't make a thing of it,
there will be no war.
Shall I tell you what Lawyer Shin is up to?
Are you ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
If he can't kill Seol Ji Hyeon,
he'll try to make a deal with you.
You know he looked into W Group's corruption...
since he was a fledgling prosecutor, don't you?
He said he'd give his files to prosecutors...
and have them search the Future Planning Team.
Window dressing, slush funds, embezzlement,
breach of trust, tax fraud.
Every corruption W Group committed...
is mentioned in that ledger.
Why are you telling me this?
I just told you.
I just...
don't want a war to break out.
(Episode 28 will air shortly.)
Yes, sir. We'll move it elsewhere.
What are you...
You should drive more carefully.
You can't die before you pay for your sins.
Don't touch that! What do you think you're doing?
I'm still working on it.
I also need some insurance, you see.
Just how much can I trust you?
Can you not trust me?
My gosh.
Just sit back and watch.
Tell the chairman...
that I want to make a deal.
I will notify you of the time and place of the meeting point.
Were you unaware of how important it was?
How could you let them take it?
I apologize, sir.
Eun Chae A tricked me.
That's the only explanation.
They want you to come alone, sir. What will you do?
I'll see about that.
We might make a deal or go into war.
Have you been here before?
This is the place...
of Soo Ho's last moments.
Beneath the cold water here,
he must've been in agony.
He was so sick too.
He jumped in, trying to save me.
Your son.
Soo Ho...
took responsibility for everything until the end.
Even until his last moment.
What will you do?
You are his father, right?
If you are,
reveal the truth...
behind your son's death.
And take responsibility...
for everything you've done so far.
I clearly told you that you are the one who must be responsible.
Am I?
Then I guess it can't be helped.
We're going to run an ad.
We'll promise to pay 100,000 dollars...
to the person who brings the ledger on W Group's corruption.
We'll hide the ledger...
in the building of W Foundation,
W Food, and other affiliates of the group...
including W Hotel, the loading dock,
and the seaside here.
It's where Ji Hyeon's mother and sister...
and Mr. Cheon died.
Did this plan come out of your head?
I don't think you will benefit from this.
Rather, you will suffer from it.
I'm curious to find out how much more I can suffer.
We'll publish the ad in two days.
We'll use the press and social media.
Until then,
I'll give you a chance...
to act like Soo Ho's father.
This will be your last chance.
Cheon Soo Cheol.
You're the only son I have left now.
It means you're the only person who can inherit the company...
I've devoted my whole life for.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Of course, I understand.
Get some rest, sir.
What's going on?
Well, things kind of...
Tell me right now.
Ji Wan.
Why are you here alone?
All the other kids are playing over there.
Do you think that flower is dead or alive?
Is it alive?
No, it's not.
No,
this flower is actually asleep right now.
It will wake up...
when we give it some water.
- Should we give it some water? - Yes.
Come back alive.
Wait, where's Uncle?
The uncle that I would like as my dad.
He...
had to go somewhere far away.
So, he won't be able to visit anymore.
Where did he go?
Right here.
Should we make new friends for the flower?
Yes.
Then, should we plant some seeds together?
Yes.
1, 2, 3.
Should we plant it over here?
Is there anything else you want to do?
I want to play the piano.
- Really? - Yes.
Should we go and play the piano together?
Yes, after finishing this.
Sure.
Because of you,
I'll spend the happiest time of my life...
as I prepare to die.
I hope...
you don't mourn me for too long.
I'd feel too bad.
Don't let my death...
stop you from what you were doing.
That will complete my life.
It will complete my death too.
What's going on?
I heard that Shin Min Seok was hiding here.
Lee, go and check upstairs.
Kim, search thoroughly.
What do you think you're doing?
What are you looking for?
Think about it. He wouldn't be here.
- Did you check upstairs? - Yes, he's not there.
Where is he?
- You can't go in here. - Is someone inside?
I said you can't!
- Look for him. - Yes, sir.
Don't you dare touch them.
Don't touch them!
Stop it right now!
Don't do this.
Stop, please.
- We're done. - Yes, sir.
What I want to do before I'm fully paralyzed.
One, eat together.
I just dropped by on the way home.
I thought we could grab a bite if you haven't eaten yet.
I'm not hungry, you go ahead.
Let's eat together if you haven't eaten yet.
(I tried making hachis parmentier, eat it for breakfast.)
Eat it for breakfast.
I planned an outdoor event with my employees before I leave.
I was wondering if you could come along too.
No...
I want you to come with me.
Please.
Two, travel with her.
Soo Ho, you did everything you could.
You tried your best.
Thank you for telling me that.
Three, say thank you.
Thank you so much.
Four.
Give her a necklace.
No.
Put it on her.
Five.
To live my life...
for someone else.
[VIU Ver] MBC E28 Time "Let’s End It Here" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
There's no way they would hide the ledger there.
Why did you have to let that be taken away in the first place?
I'm sorry, sir.
What's going on?
Do you know how much trouble you've been giving to my father?
You tricked him...
and took the ledger with you.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
All I did was...
give Chairman Cheon advice to be careful with Lawyer Shin.
- Isn't that true? - It's true.
This woman can't seem to understand the situation.
There is a war going on because of you.
Keep playing stupid.
Let's see what really happens.
I'm different than my father.
I'm ignorant, you see.
So?
What are you going to do?
You can't find someone who's wealthy without a speck of dirt.
I'll see how much dirt I can find from your side.
Your father will be taken aback by that, won't he?
So let's try not to go there.
We will only be causing harm to this country's economy...
if we start this fight.
I will...
turn a blind eye...
on how you started a fire to kill someone...
and the fact that you killed Seol Ji Eun.
Let's finish this off quietly. Isn't it better that way?
So, tell me...
where Shin Min Seok and the ledger are.
With this, I can reveal the truth and fight against the chairman.
Actually, you don't need that to fight for the truth.
You just didn't want to all this while.
You are the one who makes a choice in the end.
I brought something to eat.
I thought there wouldn't be anything to eat here.
Is that...
the ledger that proves the group's corruption?
Authorities will verify the truth,
but it will arouse speculations.
We will be able to prevent...
the chairman from hiding the truth with his wealth.
Will it be your turn after that?
You said you will reveal what you did to the public.
You have to keep your promise.
Or...
Is it your turn, Chae A?
We will reveal the truth, both Eun Chae A and I.
You will, right?
We should reveal the truth behind Soo Ho's death first.
You should eat first.
You need energy to survive in this war.
The chef put in an extra effort to make this for you.
Eat up.
Thank you, you should have some too.
No.
I already ate.
I am still waiting for your reply.
After this is over,
will you let the public know...
the truth about what you did?
A tangled yarn...
is still a yarn when it's untangled.
We should untangle it together.
You and me.
And you too, Mr. Shin.
Sorry, but I don't feel like eating.
Ji Hyeon, you should eat too.
To be frank,
I can't read you.
You being like this...
feels very strange.
Who knows if you poisoned all the food here?
The Eun Chae A I know keeps secrets...
and hides the truth.
So...
you have trouble trusting me?
I understand.
Even I don't trust myself.
But what can we do?
We have a common enemy.
We must fight together.
Thanks for this.
Can we trust Eun Chae A?
If she's not stupid, she'll take our side.
Don't you think so?
What will she gain from siding with Seol Ji Hyeon or Shin Min Seok?
It's her loss if she fights us.
Last time...
If you're going to disagree, please just go home.
I'm right.
Eun Chae A's just like me.
I can tell.
You're not like us. That's why you don't understand.
Wait just a bit.
You'll see I'm right.
Hello?
I sent the address.
Okay, got it.
See, I was right.
She's like me.
What'll you do now?
Once you help Seol Ji Hyeon reveal the truth,
you'll have to confess to...
everything you did.
I guess.
Is that the best for everyone?
You told me last time that...
the reason you covered up the first case was...
because it was best for everyone.
Is this the same?
There never was an option best for everyone.
Whatever choice we make,
it's only best for one party.
Is that a bad thing?
All human beings live for themselves anyway.
If there is another way out,
what then?
What if there is...
the best option for yourself?
What do you mean?
What were you two talking about?
We were talking about what the best option would be.
How should it end for it to be beautiful?
I should get going.
Father.
- I found the ledger. - What?
It seems that Eun Chae A was hiding Lawyer Shin.
How do you know that?
There's always a way.
How did you find out?
I threatened Chae A, a bit harshly this time.
Sit this out. I'll deal with it myself.
You were really hard to find.
Look for the ledger.
Where's the ledger?
What'll you do if I tell you?
Will you try to kill me and Ji Hyeon too?
I asked where the ledger is.
Ji Hyeon, where's the ledger?
Stay there! Don't move!
- Min Seok. - Stay still.
- Are you crazy? - Move.
- What are you doing? - Don't move!
- You're crazy. - Hey!
Don't come downstairs.
I have many bullets left.
Let's end it here.
Calm down.
I think we can talk this out.
What, talk?
How? When did we ever talk?
Forget it. I want a deal.
The ledger won't get out.
It was just an insurance policy.
What do you mean?
Sorry, Ji Hyeon.
I needed to use you and Chae A to clear my name.
So to get the ledger, you used both...
Seol Ji Hyeon and Eun Chae A?
People like me can never win any other way.
What is it you really want?
What is it that you really want?
I did everything you said.
I covered up what Soo Ho did,
and I did my best to silence Ji Hyeon.
But you.
What did you do to me?
You framed me and tried to have me killed!
Am I wrong?
Am I?
Yes.
You followed my orders.
I give you that.
Now you give me that?
Very well.
I'll tell you what it is I want.
What I want...
is for you to keep your word.
The 10 million dollars you promised me.
I want it now.
- What are you... - Quiet!
Be quiet.
Then...
the ledger disappears forever.
And Ji Hyeon...
I'll kill her in front of you.
When I get the money,
I'll leave with my mom forever.
Where no one can find me.
Are you crazy? What are you talking about?
Keep quiet.
How can I believe you?
You could be using me.
Like you used Chae A and Ji Hyeon.
Yes, I'm using you.
To get out of this crazy pit,
using you is the only way.
Am I wrong?
Sir.
You're Soo Ho's father.
Will you sell him for 10 million?
It's not too late.
Reveal the truth surrounding his death...
and pay for what you did.
For the sake of your dead son!
It's not too late for you.
Say you'll stop right now.
Do you know why I wanted you dead?
For as long as you were with Soo Ho,
he'd lose everything and become unhappy.
Now you're trying to...
ruin my company and make Soo Cheol unhappy.
My goodness.
I feel bad for them.
For Soo Ho and Soo Cheol who had to...
grow up around you.
Admit to it!
That it's all your fault.
Admit to it all...
and promise you'll stop what you were doing.
Promise you'll move far away and live as if you're dead.
Then I'll let you live.
Go on.
Beg for your life.
I'll fight to the end.
Until I die.
Even after I die.
Like Soo Ho.
Wire the 10 million.
It's me.
Do you have Shin Min Seok's account?
Wire 10 million to it now. The chairman's order.
Why are you insisting on doing this?
Soo Ho's dead now.
You have an option of...
ending it here,
the easy way.
If you were me,
could you end it easily?
My sister,
our mom,
and my husband died.
Okay.
I got the money.
What do you want now?
Do you want her dead?
Kill her for me.
In front of me.
