(Final Episode)

The warrant is out.

We won't have a second chance.
Let's give them a show.

There is something
you need to see, Chairwoman.

Mrs. Yun, you're under arrest for bribery,
embezzlement, and violation of the act

on the prevention
of flight of domestic property.

Mrs. Yun,

is your husband aware of this situation?

Is he aware of the charges
you're being arrested for?

How do you feel, Mrs. Yun?

We have to hurry
before the reporters storm in.

It's him!

Director Yun Jae-hui
was arrested at the Sungjin Gallery.

Have you heard the news?

Is it true that
you're not on good terms with Mrs. Yun?

- Are you involved in any of this?
- One comment, please.

What is happening?

I thought the warrant
was going to be denied.

This morning,
Seoul Central District Court issued

[CHARGES: BRIBERY, EMBEZZLEMENT]
an arrest warrant for Yun Jae-hui.

Judge Mun, who approved the warrant,

stated that
the evidence for the charges

are sufficient
to put her under custody.

The charges for her arrest

include bribery, embezzlement,

violation of the act on the prevention
of flight of domestic property, and

concealment of criminal proceeds.

Director Yun did not request
a pre-warrant hearing,

and it is speculated that
she might plead guilty for the charges.

You still haven't made up your mind?

Jun-hyeok.

What is the problem?

I told her I'd forgive her.

I told her I'd forgive her
so that we could start over.

Why did you?

Were you trying to use
her wrongdoings to cover up your own?

It's not that.

She did everything intentionally.

I only made a mistake.

There are plenty
who have done the same thing that I did.

Why do I have to suffer
when most get away with it?

I didn't know you were so weak.

For your own sake,

you should give up running for President.

Summon the referential witnesses.

Give Seo Han-suk
a confrontation with Yun Jae-hui.

If their accounts don't match,

request a search and seizure warrant and
get everything in their secret files.

Yes, sir.

[DIRECTOR YUN JAE-HUI UNDER ARREST,
"EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT FOR THE CHARGES"]

[THE SUNGJIN GROUP
REFUSES TO ISSUE A STATEMENT.]

[REPORTER HAN DONG-MIN, JBC]

This has the list of those responsible

for the Hyeongsan-dong tragedy.

I'll let you decide
whether to report this or not.

This is no time for golf practice.

We'd better stay on the low
before we find out

which boat will be safer to take.

What?

What do you think will happen

if Cho Gang-hyeon takes hold of
the secret files of the Sungjin family?

Congressmen Min and Kwak
are not answering calls.

[KWAN GI-HWAN]

[MIN SEONG-SIK]

That "hope" you speak of,

who is it for?

Just because I'm a bastard,

just because I am my father's son,

I've been the object of ridicule
all my life, and that's how I know

how it feels to be discriminated.

I don't want anyone to
suffer from discrimination, like I did.

And

that's the world I want to make.

Jun-hyeok,

let's not

trample on other people's dreams,

or pretend to know their pain,

or take advantage of their misery.

Let's stop living like that.

I think we'll have to
brace ourselves for an investigation.

Cho Gang-hyeon is
one of the dirtiest bastards out there.

If we blow one thing in our secret files,

his career will be ruined for good.

That might be a dangerous move

when we don't know exactly
how much information Jae-hui's given him.

He could counterattack.

SVP Kim of the legal team advised that

it is likely that they accused her for
more than what the evidence suggests.

They're probably aiming to
expand the investigation early on

so that they can request
a search and seizure warrant

or summon us as referential witnesses.

So, Jae-hui is but the bait,

and they're actually coming after Mother.

In that case,

she could pretend like they got her.

Let's go!

Daddy!

How have you been, Hyeon-wu?

Where's Mommy?

Now, say goodbye to your hosts.

Thank you for everything.

I'll bring Mommy along next time.

I'll see you, Hyeon-wu.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

We'll get going.

- Take care.
- You, too.

Is it okay to let him go just like that?

His father came to pick him up.
Nothing we can do about it.

Stay out of their business
if you don't want any trouble.

What are the reasons for
your voluntary appearance today?

Does this
have to do with Director Yun Jae-hui?

Are you aware
that the stock prices are swaying?

What are the reasons for
your voluntary appearance?

Did Director Yun tell you anything
before the arrest?

I'm sorry about
what's happening right now.

But of course,

you never loved your stepmother, so…

You know Jae-hui's
only been using you, right?

I know she had to give your mother
the choice over the CIO directorship

and raise funds for your--

Is that what she said?

It is true that Mother wanted
the control over the CIO.

That would help her handle
higher government officials.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who's director
as long as she's the one in control.

Don't you agree?

My wife had a phone call with No Yeong-ju
the night she committed suicide.

I'm sure you already know

who No Yeong-ju was and how she died.

But to have a phone call with
someone who'd been dead for a month…

There are not many
that can arrange such a thing.

Save your wife and
free yourself from the Sungjin family.

They never treat you properly
as a family member, anyway.

If you help me
take down your stepmother,

I'll persuade your wife
so that you two can start over.

A stepmother is also a mother.

Are you telling me
to betray my own mother?

That's low.

You're not doing all this
just to help Jae-hui.

What do you want?

The secret files of the Sungjin family?

Have some conscience.

It's a real shame that you're
using your dead wife's name in this.

- You little punk!
- Think about it.

Take the time
and think about your decision

to side with Jae-hui
and against my mother.

You'd better think carefully.

I'll ask again.

Did you admit to Yun Jae-hui

that you had ordered
the murder of Kim Yi-seol?

Hasn't it been 30 minutes?
Since we started?

Yes, Madam.

It's been 37 minutes.

I feel bad
that your efforts will be in vain.

There won't even be a trial for this.

Are you scared?

You will lose Hyeon-wu

and be kicked out
without a single penny for alimony.

You will also pay for tampering with
the reputation of the Sungjin family.

You've killed many innocent people
to acquire your wealth.

And all of your crimes will be revealed.

Good luck with everything.

You'd better brace yourself.

You have
a lot of trouble coming your way.

How do you suggest I pay

for having Kim Yi-seol murdered?

To protect this family, I had
Kim Yi-seol and No Yeong-ju murdered

and drove Kwon Min-seon to suicide.

I was also responsible for
the deaths in the Hyeongsan-dong tragedy.

Tell me.

What should I do
to pay for everything I've done?

Why are you doing this?

Are you saying such unspeakable things
just to pressure him?

He wants to change.

Exactly how and how much
do you want to change?

How will you pay for
your own past wrongdoings?

If my methods are wrong,
then how are yours going to be different?

You're not prepared to risk anything.

You should remember that

pointing out the wrong
doesn't solve anything.

Myeongseong Industries should

back out from
the demolition of Hyeongsan Area 5.

What?

You'll have to make
five new corporate bodies.

They will

be the subcontractors in the demolition
and divide up the area

that Myeongseong is responsible for.

What do you…

Why would you
make things so complicated?

That way, should any issues
come up regarding the demolition,

Myeongseong Industries

and Father will be
free from any allegations.

I'll get it done and report back to you.

Why did you file for
a review on legality of custody?

Do you think it is fair that
you're being released from custody?

Why did you change your mind
all of a sudden?

How do you think it was possible
for you to be released from custody?

Is it true that you are
not on good terms with each other?

A review on legality of custody
is a right protected by law.

Let me just say that it was
the court's decision to temporarily

release her from custody
after a careful review of her charges.

I'll be answering
any further questions at a later time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Could you elaborate
on the reasons behind this?

One more comment, please.

How can this even happen
without me knowing?

You decided to go against the family.
And you know what we're capable of.

You're pathetic.

What about Hyeon-wu?

Where's Hyeon-wu?

Sir, are you rejoining Seo Han-suk?

Remember who you're talking to.

Why would you release Jae-hui like that
if you're not joining them?

The accused filed for it,
and the court approved it, not me.

You assigned another prosecutor
on the case, didn't you?

So that I wouldn't find out.

Jung Jun-hyeok abandoned his wife
and took Seo Han-suk's side.

That bastard's determined.

We can take a step back for now and wait.

And when we see a chance

to actually win, we can try again.

Think about it.

I might be dead
even before the fight begins.

Then will the two of you
fight them on your own?

Listen, Jeong-ho.

It was Seo Han-suk

that killed the woman
who was my wife for 25 years.

You still don't trust me?

Hyeon-wu!

- Hyeon-wu!
- Hyeon-wu's not here.

He's at the family home.

Bring him back right now.

He's my son.

Did you think
that you could keep Hyeon-wu?

You don't deserve to be his father.

What?

Will you tell everyone
that I raped Yi-seol

so that you'll keep Hyeon-wu?

You couldn't go that far.
You're his mother.

So just keep quiet and wait.

I'll give you the divorce.

Stop, the two of you.

We need to be discussing what's happening

and what we're going to do about it.

So,

is Jung Jun-hyeok going against Madam Seo

in order to protect Yun Jae-hui?

That cannot be the case.

Then,

is Madam Seo forgiving Yun Jae-hui
to protect Sungjin?

Madam Seo is never so benign.

But it is certain that

Cho Gang-hyeon has taken a step back.

So, what do we have to do now?

Did you call for me, Mr. Jung?

Welcome. Take a seat.

Have you heard the news?

I did, about your wife.

How do you think everything will go?

Well,

my duty is to follow your orders,

- so I only--
- Exactly.

I need to find a solution
to all this as soon as possible,

but as of late,
I have been deeply troubled

and unable to focus.

Since you told me that story
between you and Jae-hui, you know.

That was…

I only did that for you…

Now, listen.

If the wife of Jung Jun-hyeok

was sexually harassed
by a former minister,

wouldn't that be newsworthy?

Yu Jin-seok pressured Cho Gang-hyeon to

conduct an investigation on Yun Jae-hui,
fearing she'd reveal the truth.

I think that will

make a nice story for the news.

How does it sound?

Please, have mercy.

Forgive me, please.

Hello?

Jae-hui.

Yeah.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Are you alone?

Yes.

How about Hyeon-wu?

Cho Gang-hyeon said

we'd better take a step back
and wait for another opportunity.

I'm sure we can get through this.

Everything will be okay.

Sure. It will.

Everything will go as planned.

It is bound to happen.

In the end, everyone will

pay for what they've done.

That has to happen.

The average rent nationwide
has gone over 800,000 won.

The average rent for apartments
has increased by more than 10% in a year.

Get back to work.

This is exclusive.

What is this?

Let's get back to work.

[BREAKING NEWS,
ILLEGAL TRAFFICKING OF NEWBORN BABIES]

[THE SUSPECT HAS BEEN APPREHENDED.]

[THE WIFE OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
ON THE CLIENT LIST]

What a shameless bastard!

He's making his own son a bastard
to cover up his crime.

There is no chance
we can we win against somebody so vile.

That's why

you should play along with him
and get what you want.

The CIO directorship.

Will you let Min take it?

And who knows?

If you wait long enough,

an opportunity might come along
to beat Sungjin.

[RENUMCIATION OF CHILD CUSTODY]

[DIVORCE AGREEMENT
HUSBAND: JUNG JUN-HYEOK]

The media will say
Kim Yi-seol threatened to reveal

your illegal adoption
and demanded money from you.

Park Yong-seob, who murdered her
targeting the money, will be arrested.

Luckily, there was a record
that Kim Yi-seol

was issued a check
from the Sungjin Foundation.

I heard you told them
to keep that record.

You were going to
use it against her, right?

Are you not afraid that

your lies will be exposed some day?

Were you afraid

when you adopted Hyeon-wu behind my back?

Yes.

I was scared.

I was anxious.

That makes you even worse.

You knew what you were doing was bad.

You've trampled on other people's dreams,

pretended to know their pain,

and take advantage of their misery.

That's how you've lived.

And you won't just let
everything go to waste, right?

Good for you.

You don't have to be
anxious or scared anymore.

Sign the papers.
I'll send Secretary Go later.

It's Father's birthday today, and I'm
going to attend the party with Hyeon-wu.

Do you want Hyeon-wu
to live the way you did?

Do you want Hyeon-wu to suffer everything

that you had to go through in the family?

Will you…

be okay with that?

I don't think
that's your problem anymore.

Oh, and Jeong-ho

will face an internal investigation

for having an affair with you.

Just letting you know.

Guys!

Hi, Eun-jeong.

Hyeon-wu's here.

What's up, auntie?

Hyeon-wu,

how have you been?

Did you miss me?

I missed you so much.

- I missed you.
- You did?

- Let's go.
- Okay.

I've always wondered whether
she's actually dumb or pretending to be.

Now, I see she's the kind of character
that this family needs.

The innocent girl that believes
what she wants

without a worry in the world.

You must think you're
above everybody in the world.

Did you threaten him?

What did you tell him
to turn him into a monster?

Are you blaming me, again?

Why don't you just kick him out?

You've always hated him.
Stop using him to your advantage.

You say almost the exact
same things that Kim Yi-seol said.

I asked to see you
to make one last request.

Jae-hui said
everything's taken care of.

Nothing's been taken care of.

I only decided not to

give her any more trouble.

To get rid of
troublemakers like you from sight.

That's how we take care of things.

Look at the painting.

How would you feel if you were
passing by a helpless woman and her child

without offering a helping hand?

At first,
you might feel sorry and guilty.

But the human heart is weak
and cannot bear such feelings for long.

Sympathy would soon turn into hatred.

You'd find yourself
hating all those like her,

who once had your sympathy,

for giving you an emotional burden.

You'd want them out of your sight.

I understand that.

That woman probably would, too.

She'd probably understand
how the passerby would feel.

She'd be sad and hurt.

But she'd also worry for the passerby.

Just like I worry for Mrs. Yun.

And that's why I ask you

to let go of Mrs. Yun.

She's striving so hard
for her own greed.

I can't stop her.

You're using her greed

and her desire for success

to your advantage.

You fear that

she might not believe you
even after hearing your story

and never got to
tell her about your past.

You have no right to tell me that.

You probably don't understand
what it is I feel.

Because you've never
truly cared for anyone,

and nobody's cared for you,
either.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Please let go of Mrs. Yun.

If you free Mrs. Yun and Hyeon-wu,

I won't give you any more trouble.

She scared me

with her words and her gaze.

But then…

Do you know how I overcame that fear?

It was you.

Thanks to your pathetic greed.

It is your vanity that makes you

pity your humble self while
believing yourself just and honorable.

And just as I had expected,
you abandoned and mocked

Kim Yi-seol and her scars
in order to protect yourself.

It's not I,
but you that caused her death.

Till the very moment she died,
she cared for you

and you…

abandoned her.

The same goes for Jun-hyeok.

I did not turn him into a monster.
His own greed did.

I see that you truly loved him.

Will you be able to
handle what's to come?

Soon, you'll forget this feeling of guilt

and repeat the same wrongs of the past.

You'll meet
somebody just like her once again

and toy around with her.

And when you're done,
you'll hurt and abandon her.

You will continue
to point fingers at others

pretending to be just and honorable.

As hideous as you are,
you still want to carry on?

I'll give one last chance
to save your dignity.

I'd like to begin
with my sincerest words of apology.

I am a terrible a husband for failing
to understand my beloved wife.

My wife so desperately wanted a child

and committed

the crime of illegal adoption,
and I was not there with her

to soothe her and stop her.

I am at fault for this. I am to blame.

And so I ask you

to stop directing your criticism at her.

I ask you with all my heart.

["IT IS ALL MY FAULT.

I need your support
so that I can

Once again, I give you
my sincerest apology.

Thank you.

What a bummer!

Let's eat.

The chow's no good today.

I'm starving.

What's wrong with her?

Does she want us
to bring her food or what?

Maybe she thinks she's still a somebody.

- What is she in for, anyway?
- She shot at her mother-in-law.

Apparently, she bought her son.

- She's not even human.
- Disgusting.

What?

- Has she gone crazy?
- What was that?

You want a good beating?

You bitch!

Bitches like you don't deserve to live.

Die!

Kill her.

- Miss?
- Hello, Eun-jeong.

When is
Hyeon-wu's elementary school orientation?

Next Thursday.

I'm not sure if he has all he needs.

- I'll go up and see.
- Sure.

Hyeon-wu!

Auntie's here!

[JUNG JUN-HYEOK ANNOUNCED

Thanks. I'll call you later.

[EVICTION NOTICE]

[TO KIM YI-SEOL]

Careful.

What do you want?

Welcome.

- Let's try them on.
- Okay.

Welcome.

Stand up.

Stand up.

- Aren't they too big?
- I think so, too.

Can we have a smaller size?

Let's try another pair.

- Let's try the backpack.
- Sure.

Let me see.

- It's perfect.
- It looks good on you.

Wait a second.

It looks nice.

It'll look good on you.

- Nice.
- Cute, right?

[GO SEON-MI / TWO ATTACHED FILES]

[AMOR FATI NURSING HOME]

Sir, why don't you go
have a meal and then come back?

You're always skipping meals like this,
waiting for your daughter.

She'll be sad if she finds out.

You shouldn't have waited.

But you came.

I know

you waited for me everyday.

What if I

never came

to visit you ever?

But I know you.

I know you wouldn't abandon me.

Park Yong-seob is having his third trial.

Will you come

to testify?

That might make things worse for him.

Would anybody

believe what I say?

I want to bring Hyeon-wu back,

but when I think of
how I wronged Yi-seol,

I…

want to leave

and hide somewhere.

Until the day I die,

I'll stay in hiding.

Then, I wish I could

just vanish into thin air.

I wish.

I wish for the same thing.

But we're the only ones

who can help him.

I'll take that.

Hello!

Hi, Eun-yeong.

Can I have two Gimbap*?
(A dish made with rice and stuffing)

Okay. Just a minute.

How are things going with moving?

Not good.

We're still waiting for the compensation.

Everybody's suffering, I guess.

I just cooked these.

- Bring these home.
- They're too small.

Don't worry.
You don't have to pay for these.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

- I'll see you around.
- See you.

Take care.

I heard Yong-seob's
having his third trial.

Yes.

Don't stress over giving testimony.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

You've pulled through,
so I know you can do this.

I'd like to welcome you all

to our new party house.

- How are you, Congressman?
- Oh.

Sir!

Welcome, Professor.

The night is young,

so let's get started
and blow our stress away!

Sir!

Welcome.

Good.

Give me just two minutes.

Hey, where are you?

I'm dropping by the office for a bit.
It won't take long.

I'll be there soon.

Okay.

[AREA 5 REDEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION]

Do you work for the demolition company?

What is it?

Hello. My name is Do Eun-yeong,
and I'm a resident of Area 5.

I need your help
with some tenancy issues.

I can't help you. I'm not the boss here.

Could you delay the demolition
until we've gotten our compensation?

Well, then,

go wait in the car.

I'll take you to my boss
when I'm done here.

Okay?

Thank you.

Don't do this.

It won't help to ask them. Don't go.

Hey.

I'm out for a bit.

The key? It should be there.

Okay. I'm on my way.

What? Where's that girl?

- See you tomorrow.
- Okay.

See you guys.

How are you?

I'm well. Thanks.

I won't have any problem working.

You're always so hard at work.

You would always come in early
and go home late.

This might be tough for you.

I understand you because I'm a friend.

But the students' parents are different.

There are a few that are
not happy about you joining us.

Will you be okay?

Of course.

Thank you for the opportunity.

[DONORS' EXHIBIT]

[DONOR:
PROSECUTOR GENERAL CHO GANG-HYEON]

Why did you

say that yesterday?

That it wouldn't help to ask.

I kept

thinking about it.

I'm sorry.

That was all I could say.

I was upset that a stranger found out

about what I'm going through.

I'm sorry I pretended to know.

I was scared that I might
repeat the same mistake from the past.

I couldn't help it.

I also felt thankful.

It put my heart at ease.

I used to think it was all my fault

that I have to go through this misery.

That made me anxious.

When you told me that,
I felt hopeless for a second.

But now I know it's not my fault.

So that felt good.

I wonder what happened
to the people that lived here.

I wonder how they are now.

I'm curious to know.

Life must have been tough for them.

Still,

they won't live in poverty forever.

Things will change, right?

They should.

They will.
