[The characters, locations, incidents, organizations,]

[and background of this drama are fictional.]

[Episode 20]

Are you Chairman Joo Dan Tae?

You are under arrest for embezzlement, investment fraud,

and violation of the Capital Market Act.

- Arrest him. - What's going on?

What is going on?

What are you doing?

Why would I commit embezzlement?

I have never broken the law.

- Take him away. - Who sent you people?

Who ordered you to do this?

You're making a mistake!

Wait. Chairman Joo. What is going on? Investment fraud?

Attorney Lee, find out what's going on.

You can hire dozens of lawyers. Just get to the bottom of it.

- I did nothing wrong! - Chairman Joo.

Dr. Ha. Where is Dr. Ha?

Is Su Ryeon behind all of this?

Mom.

Do you have proof?

Why are you arresting me?

You sold Logan Lee's name...

and gave false information to the investors...

to receive investments.

Why would I sell Logan Lee's name?

He's my partner for our casino business.

Call Logan Lee now.

You can ask him yourself!

Were you looking for me?

Logan. Logan!

I'm glad you're here. There seems to be a misunderstanding.

Please sort out this ridiculous situation.

You still don't get it now, do you, Mr. Joo?

I'm the one who reported you,

Mr. Joo Dan Tae.

What? What did you say?

I am the one who reported you to the police.

You used my name to receive an investment?

You knew how to speak Korean?

I want him to be punished strictly according to the law.

I have never been involved with him...

for any type of business.

No, no. Logan. What are you saying?

We even signed a contract.

I even set my Myeongdong land as collateral to make a casino...

Will this be enough of an answer?

What is this? What...

I'll soon find out whether you're someone who'll take my hand...

and go far or grab my ankle and hold me back.

Or I could be the one to present an unpleasant surprise.

This is...

I told you, you were up for an unpleasant surprise.

You jerk!

Let go of me.

Grab him! Grab him now!

He's a swindler.

He's the real crook!

Let go of me. Hey, Gu h* Dong!

- Chairman Joo. Don't say anything! - Grab him. Let go of me!

- Grab Gu h* Dong. - Take the Fifth!

That punk. You jerk!

- Let go. He's the swindler! - Don't say anything!

Don't let him get away!

Gu h* Dong!

I'm sorry for calling so suddenly.

You were the only one to ask for a favor.

I never imagined you'd ask me for a favor.

I always thought you were living an elegant life.

How did you get into this mess?

I lived with a monster all this time.

I'm sorry for calling you for something like this.

I leeched off you for five years before graduating.

And you even paid for my tuition.

I'm glad I can finally pay you back.

Thank you.

What is going on?

Why are we going to the broadcasting station?

I was waiting for you.

I have something urgent to tell you.

Do you know Mr. Jung Doo Man of Happy Future Party?

No. I don't know him at all.

I knew it.

There's a rumor going around that you and Mr. Jung...

are having a secret affair.

What are you talking about?

Why would I meet someone like him?

I found out the reason today.

You asked me to find Seok Hoon and Seok Kyung's mom, right?

Did you find her?

I opened Joo Dan Tae's safe in his office today...

and found this photo.

Don't be shocked.

She is the one who gave birth to the twins.

I can't believe it.

How could this happen?

Where is she right now?

Welcome to "Reporter Kim's Eye".

Chairman Joo, the owner of...

the biggest investment company in Korea, J King Holdings,

has been arrested for embezzlement and investment fraud.

He used a casino business to attract huge investments...

in order to raise his stock prices.

The Public Prosecutors' Office carried out a search and seizure...

of J King Holdings' office located in Yeoksam-dong...

and summoned the people concerned for an investigation.

"Reporter Kim's Eye" will focus on this incident today.

The video of Chairman Joo of J King Holdings...

and Director Cheon of Cheong A having an affair...

- is going viral on the internet. - These two crossed the line.

They were caught in a villa...

Sir, is Chairman Joo really done for?

Will he get arrested?

Then what will happen to my Myeongdong land?

If the owner is arrested, it's as good as trash.

Sell everything before the stocks plummet.

Meanwhile, Cheong A Foundation is being investigated...

for fabricating grades...

and entrance exam irregularities.

No, no!

- Eun Byeol. - No!

- No! - Also, an anonymous informant...

has requested for a reinvestigation...

of the death of Min, who came in first place in Cheong A's 2020 exam.

We also received information that Min suffered from...

severe bullying from the students of Cheong A...

and was a victim of severe violence.

What's interesting is that all of the assailants...

are living in Hera Palace, the symbol of wealth in Gangnam.

They were apparently known as members of "Little Hera Club"...

and used their influence at school to get what they wanted...

- all this time. - What if I get expelled, Mom?

I was accepted because of Ms. Cheon too.

Don't worry. You have me.

Wait! Listen to me. What in the world are you doing?

No, Mom!

Let go!

Darn it! Let go of me!

Honey!

- Take them away. - Let go!

- Let go of me! - Mom!

- Let go. - Mom!

- Dad! - Mom.

Dad!

Dad!

What happened to Chairman Joo?

The investigation will take longer than expected.

They took all the secret ledgers in the office...

and there's nothing we can do.

I should've prevented this from the start.

Everyone at Hera Club has been arrested too.

I think they'll investigate Min Seol A's death as well.

The police raided Hera Palace and the place is a mess.

The police?

Ro Na. My daughter.

The police reopened...

the case regarding the death of Min at Hera Palace.

They're closing in on those who...

entered the building that day.

Police is especially looking at her contact history...

- within days of... - Is this the end?

They're focusing on Min's whereabouts days prior to her death.

The police is highly suspecting foul play and m*rder...

- It was clearly... - It was clearly...

- a coerced confession... - a coerced confession...

- under duress. - under duress.

If you have thoughts of your own, say something.

Why should we be here for questioning?

Shim Su Ryeon set this up to gain an advantage in her divorce.

The two are preparing to go to court to get divorced.

The bottom line is money.

The family is so filthy rich,

so Shim Su Ryeon...

is desperate to get leverage on her husband.

Why else would she have locked us up...

and threatened us?

What else could I've done to live?

I had to say what she wanted to hear.

Don't you think?

- Shim Su Ryeon's out of her mind. - Why should we be questioned?

Is there proof that the dead girl is her daughter?

You're suspected of taking bribes...

and doing favors for students for years.

Will you say anything about that?

Mr. Prosecutor.

I'm rich.

I could spend 100,000 dollars every month until I die...

and still have a fortune left.

So why...

would I accept a subpar student over some chump change?

My pride wouldn't allow that.

I wonder who the whistle-blower is.

Is it Gu h* Dong?

I can't confirm anything.

He's the only one who'd talk such nonsense.

But that fool...

is a fraud who took a job under a false identity.

He's trying to slander my foundation under his alias Gu h* Dong.

How will you explain how your daughter was accepted?

We obtained originals of her performance test and scores.

We even have the file you falsified yourself...

in evidence.

Is this what you call a scandal behind an entrance exam?

Classical music students...

are chosen according to future potential.

We listen to their voices...

and pick those who have most potential to improve.

A minor mistake that day isn't a reason to drop a student.

Is this what you call evidence?

Do you know the amount of harm you caused my foundation?

I will make an issue of this.

I'll sue for slander and compensation.

Everything.

What are you painting, Mom?

The house I'll live in later.

Isn't it pretty?

I prefer apartments.

Still, if you move, I'll move too.

I'll stick to you for the rest of my life.

Even after marriage.

I pity Mom so much.

Why are you here?

How dare you?

I was worried about you.

How two-faced.

You did that when you're worried for us?

You reported Dad, didn't you?

Are you trying to ruin our family?

Are you pleased to get your revenge?

Your dad...

is paying the price for what he did.

That's only right.

I'm sick of all that right and wrong.

Are we really a family?

Shouldn't a family cover-up for each other's mistakes?

Do you only value your biological daughter and not us?

We're your kids too.

You were our mom!

Was it all a lie?

No. No, it wasn't a lie.

I swear that I never once thought you weren't my kids.

If you really thought we were a family,

you couldn't have done this.

I don't want to see you. Get out.

Get out of our house!

- Get out! - Seok Kyung, get a grip.

Say something, Seok Hoon.

Can you understand her or what she did to us?

Why did you come here? You knew it wouldn't end well.

I'm very sorry for you both.

But...

it was something I had to do.

Only then could I forgive you...

and go back.

I know I'm the reason of your reckless behaviors.

And that penalty.

I'll pay for it for the rest of my life.

Until I die, as your mom...

You can let that dead brat call you mom.

We need time.

We're trying to understand you,

so leave for now.

I'm here, so don't worry too much and leave.

I will take good care of the kids.

Thank you.

If something happens to them,

please call me.

I will.

Ro Na.

Ro Na. Bae Ro Na.

What are you doing here?

Where's Ro Na?

Ro Na.

Where's Ro Na.

Did you do something to her?

What do you think I did?

Su Ryeon!

If you so much as touched her hair,

I really won't let it go.

What will you do, then?

Will you k*ll me too?

I see you value your daughter's life.

Tell me. Where is Ro Na?

Seol A said you were nice and was grateful toward you.

When she was abandoned by the only person she trusted,

did you stop to think just once how she must've felt?

I'm a thousand times more disgusted...

than when I thought Seo Jin had k*lled her.

Nothing happened to Ro Na, right?

If something happens to her, I'll die.

I'd rather you k*ll me and leave her alone.

No.

You need to feel what it's like to lose a child.

Isn't it only fair for you to go through the same thing?

Su Ryeon. It's all my fault.

I did it, so please leave Ro Na alone.

She didn't do anything wrong.

My daughter is my life.

I was drunk and out of my mind that night.

I wasn't in my right mind.

The day you told me Seol A was your daughter,

that's when I remembered.

I couldn't believe what I'd done.

It's true, please, believe me.

Turn yourself in.

- What? - Admit to what you did...

- and pay the price. - What about Ro Na, then?

Must she be branded as a m*rder*r's daughter for life?

No, no.

That will k*ll her.

You know very well what Ro Na's like.

So why did you do such a thing?

Why did you do something you can't turn back for a spot in Cheong A?

Su Ryeon. Seol A's already dead.

The living must go on.

I'll be really good to you.

I'll make it up to you and Seol A for the rest of my life.

Please, Su Ryeon.

Is it okay for the rest to just move on?

Is it over if you just cover it up?

Is that why you sided with Dan Tae?

How could you betray me? How could you?

I will expose...

the whole truth.

The fact that Seol A had a mom too.

I'll prove it.

Su Ryeon. You can't, please.

I beg of you.

Ro Na can't find out. Please don't.

Give me some time.

I'll send her abroad so she won't find out.

Then I'll turn myself in as you say.

I promise. Please, Su Ryeon.

Please, help me.

Ms. Shim, I got the ice cream.

Mom. What are you doing?

Ro Na.

Why didn't you answer your phone? I was so worried.

I left my phone at home.

What's up with you?

Can you tell me?

No, it's nothing.

Go to your room and rest.

I'll explain.

Your mom can't seem to tell you herself.

Su Ryeon.

Stop it.

I get it. I'll do as you say tomorrow.

So please, please stop.

Don't. Stop here.

You'd better...

keep your word.

I have to go.

Mom, are you okay?

Yes.

I feel a bit dizzy.

I need to get some rest.

Mom. Did you see the news?

Hera Palace was turned upside-down.

Min Seol A, the girl who got into Cheong A in first place.

Apparently, she died in Hera Palace.

It was possibly m*rder, not suicide.

I don't know what's going on.

We lived in her apartment for a while.

Mr. Joo, Ms. Cheon,

even Jenny and Min Hyuk's parents...

are all being questioned by the police.

I need some rest.

What should I do, Ro Na?

If I turn myself in, the whole world will come for us.

It's all over.

Mom ruined your life.

[Cheong A Arts High School Performance exam, 2020]

Is it true Ha Eun Byeol got in illicitly?

She well and truly ruined her entrance exam.

The mom who shielded her is being grilled by prosecutors.

Is this how she'll get kicked out? Oh, dear.

I hated how she acted like a princess.

Her social media and personal details got hacked.

I bet she can't show her face again.

Over 50,000 people signed a petition to have her expelled.

Get Ha Eun Byeol's out!

[Reference Room]

How many times must I say?

There was a party that night,

and that's where we all were.

For a short while...

I saw about 20 people that day with golf bags in our elevator.

How many hours do you keep a person here?

You created a paper company to launder your slush fund.

This document is from Logan Lee.

He gave it to Mr. Joo himself...

when he visited J King Holdings.

Mr. Lawyer, as you know.

this isn't a question that you can answer in his place.

I know, but...

Did you accept money or valuables from parents in return...

for accepting a student?

No.

What's this doctored file...

we found on your computer about the entrance exam scores?

I never made such a file.

Then who made this?

I have no idea.

[Suspect Interrogation]

Why was it found in your office if you never made the file?

I never saw that document before.

Sir. You've been at work for a long time.

How about a break?

You did well, Ms. Cheon.

Get a good night's sleep.

I'll prepare for the next round of questioning.

You did well too, Mr. Park.

Dr. Ha's also at the police station...

giving a witness statement.

I'm tired. Let's go home.

Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol?

Eun Byeol. Eun Byeol!

Eun Byeol. What's wrong? Eun Byeol!

Eun Byeol! Wake up! No!

Eun Byeol!

Oxygen saturation's falling.

Eun Byeol, you can't die! Eun Byeol!

If you die... Mom will die too!

Are we there yet? She's dying!

Eun Byeol!

- She overdosed. - Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol! What's wrong with her?

Eun Byeol! Eun Byeol, Mom's here.

Eun Byeol. Eun Byeol!

Why is she so cold?

Vitals.

Hurry, do something.

She's so cold.

Quickly.

- The rate's going too fast. - Intubate!

Okay.



- Not yet. - 250 joules.



Mom!

[2020 Cheong A Arts High School Admission Ceremony]

She's back.

Eun Byeol.

Ms. Cheon!

Where are you?

Where are you right now, Shim Su Ryeon?

Cheon Seo Jin.

Please.

Please stop now.

Please stop.

I'm begging you.

Please save...

my daughter Eun Byeol.

I really didn't k*ll your daughter.

I know...

you didn't k*ll her.

What is it?

I'm sorry sir. Someone's blocking the car.

What do you want?

I waited to ask you for a favor.

You knew it?

Then why are you doing this?

Then...

do you think that makes you innocent?

You disrespected Seol A, confined and threatened her,

and even made a fake will to insult her death.

On top of that, you even had an affair with my husband.

Before my two eyes.

What's so unfair about everything?

So?

You're willing to keep going?

My daughter almost k*lled herself!

Will you be satisfied if she dies?

That's your problem.

Didn't you bring all of this upon yourself?

Please stop.

Please stop now.

This is a problem between us adults.

Do you have the right to hurt my daughter?

Did you have the right...

to hurt Seol A?

Your daughter will suffer just the same as her.

I have no intention of stopping.

I'll submit all the evidence I gathered to the police...

and even if they refuse, I'll keep trying again and again.

I'm willing to do anything to prove your sins.

If you really want to protect Eun Byeol,

admit to your sins and receive punishment.

Step down as the director and never teach again.

I can't do that.

Do you know how I got that position? That's all I have!

You still can't give up that position?

Even when your daughter is dying?

Is your ambition and greed more important than your child?

Stop blabbering. What do you know?

You'd better get a grip if you want to save your child.

You're a mom too.

Give up everything and pay for your sins...

for you and Eun Byeol's sake.

If you don't, I don't care...

if Eun Byeol gets hurt or not.

Fine. Go on and try it.

Let's see who wins in the end.

I won't let you have your way.

Is that so?

Oh. I almost forgot.

I'm sorry for revealing the video of you...

and Joo Dan Tae's affair.

What?

I know it's over between you two. I guess I was thoughtless.

You didn't know?

Joo Dan Tae has already fallen for Oh Yoon Hee.

That's nonsense.

Why would he fall for a wench like Oh Yoon Hee?

Do you think you can fool me with your rubbish?

Do you still trust Joo Dan Tae?

Then go check for yourself.

You left Eun Byeol like that just for a jerk like him?

I pity you, Cheon Seo Jin.

Get rid of...

Shim Su Ryeon.

What did you say?

You want me to k*ll Shim Su Ryeon?

Shim Su Ryeon isn't...

someone you should underestimate.

No, she already has too much power in her hands.

What do you mean?

Logan Lee was the one who was helping her.

She joined hands with Logan Lee.

I checked with my own eyes.

I know. He's the one who reported me to the police.

I'm so furious I found out too late.

Yet you won't do anything about it?

Shim Su Ryeon is really a terrifying woman.

This fight won't be easy.

You must stop it now. Or else,

you and I are both done for.

But can I ask why?

Why are you so desperate to k*ll Shim Su Ryeon?

I'm just curious.

That's because...

Su Ryeon found out about our relationship.

She even knows I'm helping you right now.

We have no choice.

She has lost her mind. She's even threatening Ro Na.

She might get both of us arrested for embezzlement.

I won't let them get away with it.

Shim Su Ryeon and that punk Logan Lee.

Su Ryeon now thinks...

you and I have become one.

She thinks we're both her enemy she must get revenge.

We can't just sit back and do nothing.

Don't worry.

You've fallen in danger while helping me.

Of course, I'll protect you.

Leave Shim Su Ryeon up to me.

It won't take long.

Oh Yoon Hee!

Explain why you're here with him.

Tell me! What were you doing with him?

- Let go! - What are you doing?

What's your relationship with him?

Did you sleep with him? Did you?

Did you sleep with him?

Tell me yourself. Tell me now!

Take your hands off my woman!

What?

What did you just say?

How could you do this to me? How?

You deceived me?

You said it wasn't Oh Yoon Hee. How dare you fool me?

How dare you?

Stop it!

I'm sick and tired of you.

Do you even have the time to be jealous right now?

Go and protect your foundation instead.

Stop being so clingy!

Joo Dan Tae. You scum!

Stop!

[Part 2 will shortly begin.]

Get up. Let's go.

I said I'm not going.

How can I go to school when our family is a mess?

Listen to me. This is more serious than you think.

I'm your guardian as of today, so just do as I say.

Why are you the guardian when I'm here?

Are you okay, Dad?

Everything is okay, right? Will our family be fine?

Is what they said on the news true?

I'll take care of that, so don't worry about it.

Get to school.

You must stay more confident in this type of situation.

Show them that no one can mess with us.

I don't care about anything else.

I don't care who you meet...

or how much you're criticized.

But I can't tolerate with our family becoming poor.

[Cheong A Arts High School]

Is this why they say "Birds of a feather flock together"?

How brazen of them.

If it were me, I'd be so embarrassed to come to school.

- Their parents are nasty too. - How despicable.

My goodness, you give me the creeps.

You really came to school?

His sense of shamelessness is scaring me.

Look at this dude.

How dare you block my way?

Why? Do you have a problem? Hit me then.

Hit me. Go on.

Hit me.

Seok Hoon, you know how to control your temper now.

I saw the news yesterday and your family is about to be ruined.

His dad is a total swindler.

He even had a nasty affair.

What will happen now?

Will you and Eun Byeol become sisters?

"Joo" Eun Byeol?

Hey! Stop it.

I know. Aren't you guys our friends?

We already have enough to worry about.

You really must be worried.

Since the news said Min Seol A was tormented...

by you and your parents.

Look at Ha Eun Byeol.

She's too embarrassed to come to school.

Shut your mouth!

You piece of trash!

You little...

- You piece of trash! - You piece of trash!

- You piece of trash! - You piece of trash!

- You piece of trash! - You piece of trash!

- You piece of trash! - You piece of trash!

Stop it!

How brazen.

Do you think you guys did nothing wrong?

You looked on and did nothing when they were the assailants.

Now that the situation has changed, you're bullying them?

You guys are the same.

Hey. Are you trying to protect Seok Hoon since he's your boyfriend?

Ro Na. Seok Hoon's era is over.

Why don't we go out now?

Don't we look good together?

Don't we make a good couple?

Hey, stop it!

Hey!

You wench!

Come over here!

Stop!

What are you doing at this sacred school?

They picked a fight and threw trash at us first!

That's not true. Seok Kyung grabbed her by the hair first.

Quiet down!

The school is chaotic enough already.

Who told you to fight like this?

Get back to your classrooms. Now!

Get going!

Joo Seok Hoon, Joo Seok Kyung,

Yoo Jenny, Lee Min Hyuk, stop.

You can't just leave like this.

Aren't you going to clean up this trash?

We didn't do it. They threw the trash at us.

We're victims.

How dare you talk back to your teacher?

You all get two penalty points.

Also, clean the bathrooms after class today.

Bae Ro Na. Why are you staring at me like that?

Aren't you friends with them?

Come here and pick up the trash.

Now.

You know that you're the worst, right?

Eun Byeol.

Mom won't go down like this.

I promise I'll rise back up.

You trust me, right?

Are you listening to me?

My daughter, Eun Byeol. You should get up...

and eat something nice with me.

I'll make pasta and wait for you.

- Search thoroughly! - Yes, sir!

Where's the guest in this room?

He already checked out.

Go to the airport right away.

Yes, sir.

Catch him and bring him to me at all costs!

Yes, sir.

Did you take all my stuff out of the hotel?

Good work, Mr. Hong. I'll see you in the US.

You should be careful too.

It seems like Oh Yoon Hee told Joo Dan Tae about our relationship.

Well...

She had nowhere else to go.

Did you report Oh Yoon Hee to the police?

She promised she'd turn herself in today.

Do you think she'll keep that promise?

She'll never turn herself in voluntarily.

That's...

up to her.

I will keep...

the promise I made with Seol A.

Let's go to the States together.

The only thing left is for you to become happy.

I promised Seol A...

that I'd make sure her mom becomes happy too.

I can't leave.

Joo Dan Tae is after you right now.

You shouldn't be here at least until...

he's punished by the law.

Then what about Seok Hoon and Seok Kyung?

I'm their mom.

Do you think...

they want you as their mom?

There are things you can't change.

Didn't you know you wouldn't be able to go back to them...

the moment you decided to avenge for Seol A?

I can't leave my children in his hands.

It's a plane ticket for tonight.

I've prepared everything.

You must not put this off any longer.

I told Hye In that you're coming too.

Thank you.

I mean it.

I'll wait until you come.

I won't leave alone.

I'm so tired.

You told us not to worry. What is all this?

I can't believe I got investigated by the cops.

I'm the most honest and just woman ever.

You're the exact opposite of that.

Why are you taking it out on my husband?

He even bought you hangover soup.

We all got investigated all night.

Gosh, I don't even have the strength to keep my eyes open.

What...

And I helped you get summoned as a witness.

I don't get why you're so angry.

Did you do something that we don't know about?

Why were you so intimidated in front of the police?

It was so embarrassing.

Watch what you say. I wasn't intimidated.

I'm a lawyer for goodness' sake.

I'm already pretty upset that I had to get investigated...

by the police.

Min Hyuk shouldn't have hung around with those terrible kids.

Not a single person in our family...

is capable of doing something so horrible.

Are you blaming this on Jenny?

Then do you think it was Min Hyuk's fault?

How dare you!

What are you all staring at?

You're being too obvious, you know.

What? Is it your first time to see a celebrity?

Our names made it to the top real-time search list,

and our faces came out on every news channel.

We've become celebrities now.

We'll only end up embarrassing ourselves here. Let's go.

Honey, you must be tired.

You're here.

Where's her mother?

She went to take care of something.

What does she need to do when her daughter is in this state?

They washed out her stomach,

and her pulse and breathing are back to normal.

Shut your mouth and just go to your boss.

I'm sorry, Eun Byeol.

I'm sorry I wasn't there...

to protect you.

I'm sorry, Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol, are you awake?

It's me, your dad. Can you recognize me?

Eun Byeol, why did you do that? Why would you that to yourself?

Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol?

Of course.

I'll make sure not to ruin the reputation of our foundation.

You trust me, right?

It'd be great...

if you show the prosecution that you're strongly against...

the investigation.

I'll call you again.

How can you be here right now...

after what happened to Eun Byeol?

Are you blaming it all on me?

Do you think you didn't do anything wrong?

Eun Byeol...

Eun Byeol won't talk.

What?

She's awake?

She's regained her consciousness, but she won't say anything.

I think she has psychogenic aphasia.

"Aphasia"?

It's probably temporary since she just woke up.

Don't worry.

I'll have her receive treatment...

once I deal with the foundation.

I'm busy. You should go.

Seo Jin.

Please get to your senses.

How can the foundation matter in this situation?

It matters.

Eun Byeol will get better...

once everything returns to normal.

She'll go to school,

eat well, and fervently practice singing.

I trust my daughter.

I'm going to make her quit school...

and take her to my hometown.

I don't want to be the director of Cheong A Medical Center.

You two-faced jerk.

You always act just and conscientious.

But stop being so pretentious.

You denied having done anything to Min Seol A...

when the cops asked you about her.

You obviously don't want to end up becoming a criminal.

You're no different from the other Hera Club members.

No, you're even worse.

You're so quick to condemn others,

and you only care about the well-being of yourself.

Stop acting like you care about Eun Byeol.

I'm the only person who can protect her.

Yes, that's right!

I'm surprised you didn't know that earlier.

That's exactly who I am.

But I won't give up on Eun Byeol.

I won't let you raise her anymore.

Hello, sir.

It's me, Cheon Seo Jin.

I called to ask you for help.

The irregularities regarding the foundation...

Please help me out.

It's me, Yoon Hee.

Is everything okay?

I was getting worried and was just about to call.

What are you going to do about Su Ryeon?

I'm so nervous.

Who knows what she might do?

Why are you so nervous? I'm Joo Dan Tae.

She tried so hard to destroy me, but see? I'm fine.

Su Ryeon will never be able to beat me.

Don't worry and just wait.

Yes?

Is this Unit 4502? Please come down and take your parcel.

I'm busy right now. I'll go pick it up later.

Hello?

Ms. Oh Yoon Hee, I'm calling from Gangnam Police Station.

What's the matter?

You must visit the station...

to answer some questions regarding J King Holdings.

Okay, I will.

You have until today to turn yourself in.

If you don't, I won't be able to guarantee anything.

You need to feel what it's like to lose a child.

Isn't it only fair for you to go through the same thing?

Aren't you ready yet?

I don't intend to forgive you.

Hurry up and go to the police station now.

[Su Ryeon]

If you refuse to cooperate, Ro Na will end up...

just like Seol A.

Please don't do this.

If you do anything to my daughter,

I swear I won't stand still.

With classical singing in the very center,

- we are learning... - Ro Na! Ro Na!

Mom.

Are you okay?

Nothing happened, right?

What's the matter?

Why would I not be okay?

Is Ro Na's mother crazy? What's wrong with her?

Ms. Oh, you can't just barge in here during class.

Ro Na and the kids had a fight,

but I didn't hit or scold her.

I'm sorry.

Mom, what's the matter?

You told me that everything was okay.

Why would you come all the way to school?

You're embarrassing me.

I'm sorry.

I must've been out of it.

I just got really anxious, you see.

Don't ever come home alone after school, okay?

Don't meet anyone. Don't go to the academy either.

Come home right after school.

Mom, are you going somewhere?

Mom.

Is it because of Ms. Shim?

I don't know what's going on,

but can't you just apologize?

She seems so sad these days.

That's none of your business.

Just worry about your own mother.

To be honest,

I had a really hard time when I quit school,

and I even thought of committing suicide.

A car was speeding toward me,

and I didn't want to move.

Ro Na, are you okay?

Ms. Shim saved my life.

She gave me a tight hug,

and it felt like...

she was telling me...

to stay alive no matter what.

So if you did anything wrong,

just apologize to her first.

Do me a favor.

Mom. Mom!

[Seoul Gangnam Police Station]

What am I thinking?

I need to get to my senses.

You have until 6pm today.

I won't wait any longer.

Su Ryeon.

[My friend]

[My friend]

[My friend]

[Ms. Yang]

Ms. Yang, what's the matter?

Ms. Shim, the chairman took the kids to his study again!

Seok Hoon! Seok Kyung!

[Su Ryeon]

The receiver cannot be reached. Please leave a message...

Su Ryeon.

Su Ryeon.

Su Ryeon, are you okay? Su Ryeon.

What? Su Ryeon.

Su Ryeon.

Su Ryeon. Su Ryeon.

Su Ryeon, wake up! Su Ryeon, don't die!

No, please! Don't die! Please don't die!

My goodness, what happened?

- My gosh, what's going on? - Did someone get hurt?

You're under arrest for committing m*rder.

You may plead the Fifth, and you have the right to an attorney.

And you may request the court to review the legality of your arrest.

Ms. Yang, what happened?

Ms. Shim...

Take her.

Did you k*ll her?

You k*lled my wife?

How in the world could you do this?

Hurry up and take her away.

- Mom. - Mom.

- Mom. - Mom.

- Get off me! - Mom!

- Mom. - Mom.

- Mom! - Mom.

- Mom. - Let me go!

- Mom. - Mom.

Will you please let go?

Get off me!

- Mom! - Mom.

- Mom. - Mom.

- Mom! Mom! - Get off me!

- Calm down. - Mom!

- Calm down! - Mom!

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down.

There was a m*rder incident at the penthouse?

How could something like that happen in Hera Palace?

Is this a lie?

Is that... Is that really Su Ryeon?

My goodness, what is this mess?

Isn't that Oh Yoon Hee?

No way.

Wait, so she k*lled Su Ryeon?

That crazy witch! She's not even human!

I can't believe this.

Search the entire place.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Look at how she photoshopped her face into the family photo.

She was a complete stalker.

This is creepy.

Gosh, what is all this?

Look at all these expensive bags and clothes.

There's a knife missing.

It's the one that was used to k*ll the victim.

Take it as evidence.

Who are you people?

- Are you Oh Yoon Hee's daughter? - Yes.

Why?

What are you doing at my house?

What about my mom?

Where is she?

We repeat the announcement.

Please come to Gate One.

[Sir, you need to see this.]

Your attention, please.

Korean Airline...

Another horrible incident occurred at Hera Palace,

the most expensive apartment in Gangnam.

Shim got m*rder*d in her penthouse,

and Oh, another resident of the apartment, got arrested.

Shim, the resident of the penthouse,

died at the scene due to excessive bleeding.

Taxi!

Taxi!

I was on my way home after grocery shopping,

and I saw the woman from the 45th floor...

using a card key to enter the penthouse.

I thought something was strange,

and I suddenly heard a scream inside the house.

I ran inside, and Ms. Shim...

She's the one who k*lled her. I saw it.

I saw her stabbing Ms. Shim with a knife.

I was preparing to get divorced with my wife.

My wife was seeing another man...

and in order to go to the States with him,

she kept demanding a divorce.

But once Oh Yoon Hee found out...

that we were getting a divorce,

that's when her obsession started.

She called me continuously...

as if...

she was my wife.

And she even sneaked into our bedroom one night.

I was so shocked.

Are you talking about this?

Oh, yes.

I installed a CCTV in our bedroom because we had many valuables,

and she was caught on tape.

She was wearing your late wife's dress?

Were you ever threatened directly?

Oh. She even said this to me.

I recorded it just in case.

I waited to ask you for a favor.

Get rid of...

Shim Su Ryeon.

Why were you so fixated on k*lling Shim Su Ryeon?

Because you wanted Joo Dan Tae and the penthouse?

Did Joo Dan Tae say that?

Did he tell you...

that I wanted to have him?

We have clear proof.

We found your fingerprints...

smothered all over the knife used to k*ll Shim Su Ryeon.

This is your knife, right?

Answer me, Ms. Oh.

Did you k*ll Shim Su Ryeon with this knife?

We even have a witness, so it's no use to deny it.

Yes.

I k*lled her.

What? What did you say?

I k*lled her.

I...

hated Su Ryeon...

to death.

[The Penthouse]

Oh Yoon Hee k*lled Su Ryeon?

I admit to all my charges.

Mom... Mom!

Dad, are you really okay with this?

I'm just trying to return everything back to its place.

I envy Chairman Joo and Seo Jin.

What are you talking about? Be more specific!

Su Ryeon told me everything before she died.

It's truly amazing.

The skies will eventually side with the rich.
