Who would believe me if I said

that I did nothing wrong?

Even my own daughter doesn't believe me.

SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE EDM SYSTEM

CHO YEON-JU LOG IN

SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE EDM SYSTEM

Why do they want me to request leave through this?

How can I guess the password when I know nothing about myself?

All right. Here they are.

What's all that?

The case documents you're assigned to this week.

While you extended your leave, other prosecutors took your cases.

Now that you're back, you're getting them back.

No way.

It'll take the whole day just to read them.

I can't finish them within this week. My gosh. What's this?

Five years for a rapist?

Then it'll be reduced to three years when they announce the verdict.

Are they encouraging people to rape more or what?

They're only fining him when he's filthy rich?

It won't damage him at all.

Gosh.

How will they reflect on themselves?

It looks like the victim of that case

is related to Songseong Group.

Songseong Group? What about it?

You know the group very well.

I know Songseong Construction which builds apartments.

What about that company?

They're not even the largest conglomerate.

What about this group?

So the rumor must be true.

I know. She thinks that the sentences

prosecutors decide based on protocols are a problem.

She even disregarded Songseong Group. Is she doing that to start a bloodbath?

Everyone's talking about it on the messenger too.

Some say she should wait until she takes leave

before she blows the whistle,

-and some say she shouldn't. -What are you talking about?

What do you mean by a messenger?

WE TRUST OUR ONLY HOPE, CHO YEON-JU!

WILL IT BE POSSIBLE?

VOTE LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR WHISTLEBLOWING YES, NO

I SUPPORT YOUR WHISTLEBLOWING!

WHAT GIVES MS. CHO THE RIGHT TO REFORM THE PROSECUTION?

Why are they making their own assumptions

and voting on my leave of absence?

My life is at stake here,

and I need to save the corrupt prosecution?

What is it?

Fish don't know that they live in the water.

Prosecutors who are slaves of power do not know what's right from wrong.

-Sorry? -Nice to meet you.

We're the prosecutors who have been in charge of minor cases

such as domestic violence and sexual abuse.

We're Prosecutors Kook, Young, and Soo.

There's light and shadow in Seoul Central DPO,

and we're the shadow.

We heard you were going to step up and expose the corrupt prosecutors.

We're here to root for you.

We became prosecutors

without any connections.

We're the "dirt spoons."

My father ran an electric shop all his life,

he lost his parents early in life,

and his parents

still farm on someone else's land.

Cheer up. We got your back.

We'll be your supporters.

But…

discreetly like your shadow.

Sure. Thank you.

I'll call you when I need help.

Let's go.

I shouldn't come in their sight at all.

Darn it.

Mr. Park and Mr. Cha have been covering for Ms. Cho,

but Ms. Cho is applying for a leave of absence soon.

So you'll need to cover for her a little longer.

Hey, we had to cover your cases because you didn't tell anyone about your leave.

And now you're taking time off again?

You should've just taken your leave earlier.

You used all your paid holidays, and you're applying for leave again.

How rude is that?

Tell me about it.

People these days think female prosecutors aren't competent,

but our department decided to embrace you.

And now you're stabbing us in the back.

I have some unavoidable reasons to take this leave,

so I have nothing to say,

but why would you bring up female prosecutors?

Then don't apply for a leave of absence.

Stop arguing about justice

when you can't even handle your own work.

Don't you agree?

Straighten out your life.

Aren't you being too harsh?

Am I not your senior?

What about my life?

Why straighten it? I'm actually asking out of curiosity.

Well, you were my senior in college,

but I passed the bar exam before you did!

That's enough!

What a sight.

Because you keep tossing cases to each other,

the cases got delayed.

Our department has the worst performance.

Then I'll be the one to be blamed. Shall I take time off from work too?

Fine! We should all take time off.

Why is everyone going on about my leave of absence?

How much work are we behind on because of me?

Then will you be okay with my leave of absence

when I finish all the work?

So you couldn't apply for a leave of absence?

I mean, all the prosecutors are swamped with a heavy workload.

This is a serious problem.

I was the top trainee at the training institute,

so why did I choose to become a prosecutor?

Their salaries are barely higher than the minimum cost of living.

-What's so good about being a prosecutor? -Let's see.

At least people don't look down on you, and you can take out loans easily.

I became a prosecutor for that?

I guess you wanted to prosecute someone.

Don't worry.

I'll help you figure out your work after I'm done today.

Okay. Thank you.

Gosh, I shouldn't have lost my temper.

I'm the center of attention.

How am I going to double as a chairman?

It's me. Is everything okay?

I guess something's up. What is it this time?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you later.

Did you call to ask if I was doing okay?

I wanted to ask you a favor too.

I went to see the culprit of the fire accident my father was in.

What?

The fire wasn't accidental but arson?

-That's right. -I can't believe it.

So what did he say?

Is he regretting what he did?

-No. -What a jerk.

But something felt off about him.

He talked as if it was someone else

that committed the crime.

Then he's even worse. Is he a psychopath?

Anyway, I wanted to look into the case more,

so I want to see the case report.

-I heard only prosecutors had the access. -I see.

-Where did you say the fire occurred? -It was in Seopyung.

That's great. I'll ask Yu-jun.

I'm seeing him at home later anyway.

Why do you keep meeting him at home?

Mr. No and my car are there, so I have to go there anyway.

Why did you tell Mr. No to wait there?

Well, I can't tell him to wait in front of the prosecutors' office.

I don't want to brag about my double life to everyone.

I'm agitated enough

without you adding to it, so hang up.

Hello? Hey.

Darn it.

CHIEF RYU SEUNG-DUK

What nonsense is that?

Use your connections and smuggle me out of the country already.

I got tangled up with Hanju Group.

Things are looking bad.

Hold on.

Did you go to Hanju Group?

Are you out of your mind?

Who in Hanju Group?

Let's meet. I'll tell you in person.

All right. I'll see you there.

Why are there so many…

Gosh!

I'm sorry.

Bong-sik.

Isn't that you, Bong-sik?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Sorry about that.

Isn't that Kang Mi-na's copycat?

PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

PROSECUTOR CHO YEON-JU

They look the same?

Didn't anyone follow you around?

I can get out though, right?

Don't you worry.

She got run over while running after me…

She lost her memory due to the accident

and has no idea who she is. That was why she was there.

Kang Mi-na may not be Kang Mi-na.

Shall we give you a chance?

Bring me evidence,

and I'll spare your life.

Okay.

Mr. No.

You're here.

Shouldn't you be outside the prosecutors' office?

She says not to come.

She says people will see me if I wait in my car out front.

She says she's at the center of attention.

What if she's in danger again?

Even if she doesn't ride with you, you can still follow her

or something.

You're so mean.

What?

I'm the head of legal at Hanju.

I usually get driven around.

I've become a driver

after the last incident

and am following her around.

I took a nap out of exhaustion. Don't you feel sorry for me?

What if people see me following her in my car?

Don't you worry about me?

Of course, I worry about you too.

Sorry.

She should be here soon, so I'll get out of your hair.

Is she almost done?

She usually finishes around now.

My shoulder is really sore from driving so much.

Over here.

Will you squeeze right here?

Here.

My neck.

Where is this twerp?

Where did he go this time?

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Who are you?

Who are you, jerk?

Darn it. I didn't want to do this.

Why must you turn me into a bad guy?

Darn it.

Who are you? Who sent you?

Darn it.

Are you okay?

I told you not to use that arm.

Did you think I'd let you attack me twice?

It was you. You cut my brake line.

Whose side are you on?

There's more to life

than my side and someone else's side.

Apologies if I was out of line.

Actually

there is an old security camera

that has been up since before the garage was renovated.

The people here don't even know that it's a camera.

The resolution isn't very high,

but it does function.

There are many times when the person who really helps you

is neither on my side nor someone else's side.

Because I believe

people's lives are more important

than money, power, and things like that.

Furthermore,

I don't want things like that

happening in this family anymore.

"Anymore"?

My gosh. How old is this camera?

There's nowhere to connect a cable.

Then we can't watch it?

Don't you worry.

My dad had an electronics store.

Luckily, I think I can connect a TV to the AV port.

Why are there so many--

Are you okay?

Who sent you? Who are you?

Don't you know me?

You don't know who I am, do you?

What's going on?

POLICE

She's a prosecutor from the Central District Office.

Hello, officers.

He's a suspect I arrested.

Are you all right, ma'am?

Yes, of course.

I always end up fighting like this when arresting suspects…

No, that's not it. Here…

The huge scandal that Ryu Seung-duk, our dear prosecutor,

missed immediately before we arrested him?

You asked me to help with the Lee Bong-sik-gate…

I'll surprise him by catching him and…

Who are you?

Who am I?

Let's find out who's more fake.

It's just until she inherits all of Yumin family's money.

I'll return this life back to you after I upgrade it.

Or will you trust me, who is his legitimate daughter?

And he went to check the ledger at the Hanju Fashion factory.

And a fire broke out there.

Grandma!

Grandma…

PROSECUTOR WITH TWO HEARTS

Wait just a little longer, Grandma.

Are you all right?

What? What is it?

Who are you?

I'm okay, so don't worry.

You scared me.

Are you okay? Any serious injuries?

That was just a little prank. Don't make such a fuss.

This is no time for pranks.

Stop pretending you're Kang Mi-na. You need to stop.

-By the way, where is Lee Bong-sik? -Who?

That jerk from earlier. He's the one I've been trying to track down.

On the day of the accident, I got hit while chasing him.

Have you

regained your memory?

Seriously, where is this jerk?

-You can't go anywhere like that. -Gosh, I'm totally fine.

This is nothing to me.

-I'm totally okay-- -I'm not okay with it!

Stop getting hurt!

Just wait until you get your test results back, okay?

Wait until you find out it's nothing serious.

Please.

You're persistent.

Are we good now? I knew it.

There isn't a single fracture in my skull.

I'm relieved. You're not hurt,

and you've regained your memory.

What about your family? Is there anyone you should contact?

No.

If you have no family,

what about people you're close to? Anyone?

There's no one!

I'm sorry if I offended you.

By the way, is your arm okay?

Have you ever punched anyone with that arm?

I work out a lot.

I have a six-pack.

Can you punch someone with it?

It's useless.

If you have no fat, you're more likely to die from a stab wound.

Why did you suddenly show up?

Why were you wandering alone?

It's not like you ever cared about me roaming around alone.

What's gotten into you?

It's not like you'll listen to me if I tell you not to go around alone.

Who knows? Had you said that, I might have listened to you.

Goodness. I won't blame you for my injury,

-so don't you worry. -Okay!

I didn't expect you to say "okay" right away.

Seriously though, where's Lee Bong-sik now?

He's at the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Why did you take him there?

Because you'd get in trouble if he said something stupid to the police.

Why are you in such a rush?

Until the lead prosecutor

on the case gets there, they'll just leave him alone.

No.

Someone will come running once they find out he's been caught.

Who?

My real target.

Is Yeon-ju on my side? Or is she my enemy?

I'm telling you. It was crazy.

That scumbag grabbed a brick

and smashed the top of her head with it.

But Ms. Cho got up right away

even though she was bleeding.

Then she started sprinting, jumped into the air,

and gave him a good kick in the chest.

Finished.

Sir.

I didn't see you.

What's with all this fuss over catching him?

This means I can't even hide him away. Darn it.

I was investigating that person's corrupt deeds.

Does that investigation matter more than your well-being?

My reason is similar to yours.

Help! Please help us.

HANJU MEDICAL CENTER

Please. I don't even remember how many hospitals I've been to.

Please don't kick us out.

I couldn't even find an ambulance,

let alone a bed.

Grandma…

I'm sorry, Grandma. This is all my fault.

Grandma…

Yeon-ju.

This is not your fault.

Grandma…

I stepped in on my own accord.

You know,

nothing can be solely blamed

on one person.

I would've stepped in…

Grandma.

I still would have stepped in

even if you had tried to stop me.

Grandma.

You're suffering

and can't even do anything

because of us.

I don't want to see you live like this

for the rest of your life.

Grandma.

No, Grandma.

HANJU MEDICAL CENTER

-Sir. -Goodness.

No one takes that road except for the people

who work at the factory.

We don't even have a witness.

There is nothing we can do.

There must be some speed cameras

along the road.

The cameras in the area don't even work.

It's just for show.

You see, we're short-staffed at the moment.

Just go home and wait.

We'll call you if anything turns up.

They had no intention of investigating it to begin with.

Obviously, they never called me.

I told myself I was done

desperately begging others for help.

So I studied like crazy and became a prosecutor.

To meet that person.

I was told a prosecutor at the Seopyung Prosecutors' Office

stopped the police from investigating the case.

The rumors that I took bribes and did favors for those with power

to climb the ladder quickly led him to me,

so he suddenly came to see me one day.

You look familiar for some reason.

I heard you were at the Central District Office.

Right. I've seen you many times from afar, sir.

Is that so?

Right.

There are many junior prosecutors who work under me.

Here.

I've heard so much about you.

Everyone says you're the most

capable prosecutor in Seopyung.

You see,

this won't be hard for you at all.

My acquaintance's son

hit someone with his car and ran away,

so he's in serious trouble now.

A hit-and-run?

It happens to quite a lot of rich kids.

There aren't many places in this country where you can speed.

So they drive their sports cars on empty roads and…

-Anyway, let's drink. -Yes, sir.

But you see,

this is a good opportunity

for prosecutors like us.

Don't you want to return to Seoul?

You must feel cooped up here.

Right.

So I thought that must be what happened with my grandma.

When you're lonely

You're the best!

That's right.

You're the best.

Gosh. You're the best too.

You're the best.

It turned out that he was a hyena who cleaned up after Hanju Group.

Sing something else!

I don't know who hit my grandma, but I'm certain

he was cleaning up after Hanju then too.

That must be why you contacted me, the head of Hanju's legal team.

You wanted to sound me out about Ryu Seung-duk

and Hanju's connection.

Yes.

And you called me to take her

to the Seoul Central DPO.

The doctor said she needed to be careful,

but she insisted on leaving.

You said you hated hospitals,

but you went to her side at lightning speed.

I heard nothing from you since then,

but you only called me to drive her to the DPO?

Well, I'd have driven her myself

if my arm was okay, but…

That's not what I'm talking about.

Then why didn't you call me when you got hurt?

Who's been your guardian in Korea

ever since your father passed away?

It's always been me.

What if you'd been hit by a brick too?

And look what happened to your arm!

Are you hurt anywhere else?

No, I'm not.

I'm sorry.

Am I your chauffeur or something?

I can't do this anymore.

Who is the owner of car number 4774?

Pull out the car!

Coming.

Wait here. I'll bring the car.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

It must be really inconvenient with the arm injury.

You said you didn't care.

Then will you come to my place, feed me, wash my hair

and help me shave like they do in movies?

You must've watched too many movies.

Sorry?

What were you imagining?

You can eat with your right hand if your left arm is injured.

You can wash your hair with one hand.

You can even shave too.

-The car is here. -Get in.

Okay!

Why would I imagine anything like that?

I wasn't imagining anything.

Hey.

Just keep your mouth shut.

I have valuable information to…

You threw a brick at a prosecutor and were caught in the act.

You can't refute it even if you get arrested.

-That's not it. I found… -You scum!

Don't say a word to anyone. Got it?

I'm telling you…

You're not supposed to be here.

Just stay in prison for the time being.

I'll take care of the rest later.

Seriously! I have really valuable information!

My goodness, Chief Ryu! You're here already?

Ms. Cho.

You must've gone through a lot because of this jerk.

I finally caught him.

Right. That's great.

Good work.

Is your head okay?

Of course.

You jerk.

He was caught in the act. What more is there to investigate?

Just transfer him to the detention center.

I can't do that.

I'm sure he has committed more crimes.

I'll go through everything

so that he'll have nothing more to hide.

You can leave him to me. You should go home.

Okay, then.

Okay. Keep up the good work.

-That darn jerk. -Salute.

You want to ask me something they shouldn't hear about?

How deeply are you enmeshed in this? Who are you?

What?

Did the chief tell you to keep your mouth shut?

Then let me tell you who I am.

You know me.

I'm a prosecutor at Seoul Central DPO, Cho Yeon-ju,

and the chairman of Yumin Group.

You must think I lost my memories

and can't tell who you are or what you did.

That's too bad.

When you hit me with a brick,

my memories came back.

I'm good at many things, but among those,

I'm the best at choosing whom to make connections with.

Speaking of which,

let me give you a piece of advice.

Who do you think you should make connections with?

I'm the prosecutor in charge,

and I'm the chairman of Yumin,

the 20th largest conglomerate.

Which means I have both power and money to bury you alive.

You made a deal with the chief before, right?

Yes, you did!

If you make a statement regarding that, I'll let you go.

You must be thinking a mere prosecutor like me

must not have the power to let you go.

Hey, prosecutors can make individual decisions.

No matter what the higher-ups say, if I propose a long sentence

after indicting you,

you can never be freed

unless you're completely innocent.

But you've committed a couple of crimes.

And Chief Prosecutor Ryu Seung-duk you must be thinking of.

Where do you think he went?

Every time I see this,

it looks so real.

A junior prosecutor

arrested Lee Bong-sik,

thinking that'd help me.

Things got a little complicated,

but I'll handle it soon.

But isn't he a con artist?

He should've been arrested a long time ago.

Sorry?

If you let him go again,

you'll be in a pickle too.

Since he scammed people,

he should rot in prison.

Don't you agree?

Unlike then, you're Chief Prosecutor now.

So I'm sure you'll be able to take my daughter's name off the list.

Prosecutors indict people all the time so they know very well

how they'll be punished if they commit a crime themselves.

That's why their scale is only this big.

I'm sure he's seeing the chairman of Hanju and sucking up to him.

Think of the people at Hanju.

They didn't even pay you anything

just for letting you go.

Do you know how much they gained because you didn't name them?

They shouldn't have done that.

Don't stick with petty people like them.

Join hands with me and turn your life around.

How dare you try to fool me?

Bong-sik, use your head.

They let you go once, but you're back clinging on to them.

They won't let you go again.

Fine. Take your time to think.

You must be anxious.

When people are given

only one of either money or power,

they're desperate to have the other one too.

But when you have both,

you're much more at ease.

Just like me.

If you join hands with me,

I'll let you live in luxury in Vietnam for the rest of your life.

-You want me to testify? -That's right.

Finally, we're getting somewhere.

Where's the list?

The list of counterfeit art clients

that disappeared with you three years ago.

I can't give you that.

Come now. Why can't you open your heart to me?

Do you have some childhood traumas?

You're breaking my heart.

Then let's talk about something else first.

Where's the real Kang Mi-na?

What? The fact that someone

who has never met me before knows that I'm not her

means you know the real Kang Mi-na very well.

Did you think I was stupid?

The chief prosecutor doesn't know

whether she's an ally or a foe,

but this one

has him in the palm of her hand.

Exactly. So work with me.

Where's Kang Mi-na?

-I have no idea. -Hey!

I don't know right now.

All I did was put her on a boat heading to China.

They said Hanju's art purchases would be made in her name,

so I assumed they had put some airhead in charge.

I went to see her.

Taeryeong Group's madam

had bought this painting directly from the artist.

She's selling it now due to personal reasons.

This series is popular

not only among the wealthy,

but with people of high status

to use as special gifts.

It's a counterfeit.

-Pardon? -Your watch. It's a counterfeit.

What do you mean?

Do you know why scams are bad?

Only desperate people fall for them.

At least you con wealthy people.

Maybe you're not as bad.

What luck.

This is the only time I can leave home.

And I happened to meet

a con artist here.

But that was not the case. She offered me a deal.

She said she may be killed if she stayed in Korea.

She said she'd buy a painting for triple the price

if I got her out of the country.

She got on the boat.

She has a fake passport.

And she has tons of money.

So she probably went somewhere once she got to China.

Is that the truth?

Believe me or not. Whatever.

I see.

Yes, that's right, Bong-sik.

If you knew I wasn't Kang Mi-na,

why did you try to kill me, you freak?

Because that person didn't care

who you were.

"That person?"

Kang Mi-na may not be Kang Mi-na.

Is that it?

I have that much information.

What I need is evidence.

Shall we give you a chance?

Bring me evidence, and I'll spare your life.

If it's too hard to find evidence,

just kill her.

Her mere existence gets on my nerves.

Whether she's the real Kang Mi-na or a fake Kang Mi-na

is irrelevant.

Because if you kill her,

the real Kang Mi-na can't return

even if she wants to.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Director Han acted like

she was smarter than everyone,

but she let that loser con her.

She voluntarily jumped into the con.

But you're in trouble.

What?

You're in way over your head.

Everyone must be contemplating

what to do with you.

A merger?

That's the condition

for them to acquire Hanju Hotel.

We need to give Yumin a justification.

I asked for some time…

Lee Bong-sik was arrested.

Word spread about his arrest already,

so we can't make it go away like last time.

Your name is on top of his list of clients.

The hotel business is all about image.

If I give you more time, you'll only be criticized longer

and the hotel will suffer more losses

if it gets out that you created a slush fund using art.

The chief prosecutor says he can remove your name.

That's a good thing for Hanju in the long run. Don't you agree?

We can get rid of a failing business and get a profitable hotel for free.

This is so you.

You think only of yourself whenever the opportunity arises.

Bottom line, you want Yumin Hotel without its owner.

What about this?

You should thank the stars

that I was the one who caught you.

Give me the list and stay here for the time being.

What do you mean?

-You said you'd release me! -Hey.

If the woman who told you to kill me regardless of who I was

finds out you're in here, do you think she'll let you live?

You're the safest in here.

Don't worry about the detention center. I have people everywhere in there.

You want me to trust prison guards?

Not prison guards.

They're everywhere in the slammer.

I won't let you get stabbed, so just stay there.

Anyway… What exactly are you?

Why don't you work with me if you want to know?

You'll give me the list, right?

Darn it.

Yes. Lee Bong-sik.

Later. See you around. Bye.

Why were you waiting here?

Must you go to my uncle's home?

Did you wait to ask me that?

It's obvious, isn't it?

I've worked so hard to catch the tiger.

And what stroke of luck. I realized I was in the tiger's den.

How can I leave?

-What? -This is who you really are.

But what? You won't go anywhere alone if I tell you not to?

Exactly. So don't tell me not to go there.

I won't.

Since I know how you feel.

Give me your phone.

-My phone? Why? -Just give it to me.

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

HAN SEUNG-WOOK HAS BEEN ADDED

I'll come to your side right away

if something happens.

Mr. No's waiting. You should go.

You can eat, shave and wash your hair

by yourself,

but not this.

About Kang Mi-na…

Lee Bong-sik said he put her on a boat to China.

But he doesn't know where she is now.

I hope this information helps you find her.

I'll be off, then.

Are you all right?

I went to see the culprit

of the fire accident my father was in.

The fire wasn't accidental but arson?

-That's right. -So what did he say?

Is he regretting what he did?

No.

What a jerk.

You excitedly bluffed about

going into the tiger's den to uncover all of Hanju's corrupt deeds.

Why are you sighing now?

Don't mind me. I'm brimming with enthusiasm right now.

Seriously, both you and Mr. Han.

Is it because you two are still young?

I get that you're suspicious, but there's no solid evidence.

What can you even do?

When did you say the accident took place?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Didn't you regain your memory?

Yes, I did.

I remember everything now, all of it.

What's wrong? Did you just remember something important?

Yu-jun!

What's taking her so long?

Sorry, Yu-jun. Something has come up.

You should just go home.

Even with her amnesia,

she doesn't care about me at all.

Gosh.

I'm home.

My gosh.

I'm so excited and honored.

They say people drastically change before they die.

You didn't even show up

the last time the family got together.

Why are you suddenly greeting us?

They say your in-laws ask for ten things when you give them one thing.

What?

Nothing. I just think I'm such a lucky girl.

Look at me receiving such a warm welcome.

Perfect timing. Take a seat.

Sure.

I wanted to discuss this with all of you.

I brought it up briefly the other day.

It's about Yumin Hotel.

What do you think about merging it with Hanju Hotel

so we can grow the business?

Honey, is it okay to bring this up in the absence of the hotel owner?

I already know about it.

We're a family after all, so it is not cost-effective

to run two hotels.

Whoever is more capable can run the hotel.

You should think about it, Mi-na.

They say your in-laws keep giving you things that you don't even want

and delude themselves into thinking that they're generous.

What I mean is, I'm so lucky

that my in-laws aren't like that.

Mi-na, that's enough.

Now that the situation has changed, are you revealing your true colors?

That's not it.

I'm finally myself again.

I have to, to survive in this household.

Did that car accident not teach you a lesson?

Looks like you need properly functioning brakes.

My brakes work just fine.

As long as someone doesn't touch them.

I think you're the one who needs properly functioning brakes.

Anyway, thanks for the merger and acquisition offer.

Improving Yumin's relationship with Hanju

will only help me, in many different aspects.

Sung-woon. Are you going to side with Mi-na?

Why are you asking me this question?

It looks like Mi-na is starting to get the upper hand.

Without you joining hands with her,

I can't take her side.

Technically, I'd have nothing to do with her

if it weren't for you.

We're practically strangers.

Goodness. Must you ask?

Of course, I have to side with her since I'm her husband.

Excuse me.

It doesn't matter to them at all whose side we're on.

When I told Sung-hye I'd take her side, she flat out ignored me.

Maybe Sung-hye always ignored us

because she never thought of us as her competition.

However, the situation has changed.

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

I should go see my wife.

What is Han Sung-hye thinking?

She worked hard to grow her hotel business.

She'd never hand it over that easily.

Gosh.

Honey, Sung-hye is right.

You shouldn't overwork yourself right after the accident.

I'm not overworked.

Come on. You must be tired.

-Do you have to leave early again? -Yes, I do.

Really? What time?

Now. I'm heading out now.

Bye.

That arrogant little…

I don't want things like that happening in this family anymore.

"Anymore"?

Did it have something to do with Mr. Han Seung-wook's father?

If he hadn't passed away like that, things would have been different.

Thanks to you, I managed to catch the culprit.

Thank you.

Mr. Han Seung-wook was driving when the accident occurred, wasn't he?

Is he okay?

He hurt his arm.

Well, if you don't mind,

would you please take this to him?

I wanted to give it to him when he was here,

but he stormed out.

I hope he thinks of his father and tries to take care of himself emotionally.

Pardon?

When you hate someone, you end up becoming like that person.

And there are some things that

simply can't be undone.

You don't have to do it if you're uncomfortable.

I have to talk to him about something anyway.

I'll go drop it off.

I'm certain that Ms. Kim truly cares for you.

How do you know?

You can't make seasoned cockles for someone you don't care for.

You have to wash the cockles over and over again

until you tell yourself that you will never buy them again.

Look how many cockles there are. Clearly, she's very fond of you.

Go on. Dig in.

Can you not eat with one hand?

It was my father's favorite dish.

This is my first time seeing it since he passed away.

This is hard.

I suppose you and your father

were very close.

I still think of my father every single day.

He must've been a wonderful father.

All kids think they have the most wonderful father.

Even the arsonist who killed my father…

Even such a criminal talked about his daughter.

Anyway, did you come all the way here at this late hour just to drop this off?

No, I'm swamped with work at the Prosecutors' Office.

I just dropped by on my way there. Enjoy the food.

Wait.

Have you ever had a dog?

No. Why do you ask?

Like you said, I could wash my hair, shave, and eat with one hand,

but there's something I just can't figure out how to do.

Just think of it as drying a dog's hair.

I couldn't dry my hair with one hand.

Gosh, you're making such a fuss.

You could've just dried it off with a towel.

Then it'd mess up my style. I have straight hair, you see.

My father died on my birthday.

If he hadn't passed away like that, things would've been different.

I'm curious where you'll be going back to.

Are you worried

I might be someone dangerous?

I'm worried you'll be in danger.

I'll come to your side right away if something happens.

You don't have to dry that part.

Don't just dry that side. Gosh, it's hot!

It's hot!

My scalp almost got burned.

Sorry.

You didn't have to put on a serious face and apologize.

I didn't know you were here.

Right.

I had so much work to do,

so I just dropped by on my way to the office.

I came early to sleep here

because it's a hassle to move during rush hour.

Mr. Han, they said you could remove the cast. So why are you still wearing it?

Who said that?

Who else?

Your doctor told you so.

That you can wear it for a short while.

You could've removed it a long time ago.

Why are you still wearing it?

I should get going first.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly change when I came in?

Did you two talk about me?

It looks like your hair is all dry.

Gosh, you scared me! Why are you sleeping here?

Are you okay?

You look fine. I'm so relieved.

What's wrong with you?

When I checked the messenger earlier,

they said you got hit in the head with a brick

so you did a fly kick after turning in the air twice

and caught Lee Bong-sik.

Are you sure you're okay?

Why are they so nosy?

They were going crazy about arresting a suspect

in a case from three years ago.

They blamed you for whistle-blowing,

but now they're going on about you joining hands with the chief.

By the way, how did you know it was Lee Bong-sik?

-Are you here to ask me that? -Of course not.

I wanted to see if you were okay.

I thought you shouldn't make any mistakes

when everyone's attention will be on you tomorrow.

I thought I should help you with your work before going home.

I see, my dear Yu-jun.

I'm glad you're here.

You shouldn't leave early.

Could you separate them into cases

that need immediate attention and further investigation?

For those that need immediate attention, could you write up an indictment?

Isn't it easy and simple?

-What is it? -Is your memory back?

-No. -Yes, it is.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't have enough time to share it with you.

Well, then maybe you can tell me at the end of the year

when you are reminded of me.

Don't be so upset.

Yu-jun,

do you know what made me the saddest after regaining my memories?

The first thing that popped up in my head was that I dismissed

so many cases last month that I need to indict

a certain amount of cases.

I wouldn't have come here at this hour

if things weren't this bad.

Are you going to the bathroom?

You'll be back, right?

I'm counting on you.

Gosh, that punk.

I know how hard you're trying to size this up.

But it's a fixed fact that you'll end up in prison.

I'll let you go by suspending your sentence,

so just stay in prison for a while.

That's all you have to say?

What else do you want?

My gosh. Look at this punk.

Do you want to rot in prison?

No, I mean

are you letting me go

with no strings attached?

You should expose the list you have.

Not as-is.

Fix it a little.

Gosh, Yeon-ju. You keep making me worry about you.

Someone must've stopped by.

Han Sung-hye, that wench. She asked to remove her name from the list

and add Kang Mi-na's instead?

Since Kang Mi-na has already lost everyone's trust,

she's trying to frame her for the slush funds and the lobbying

to make her leave the negotiation table in the merger.

The man with the list is in my pocket, so what can she possibly do?

Whether they merge the hotels or not, it's none of your concern.

It's not your position, and you don't have the time for it.

But I can't just leave them to take someone's hotel for free.

-What are you planning to do? -I took measures already.

Those darn conglomerates.

They always pass on their companies

to their kids that they must think they're the owners of the companies.

But the owners of listed companies are stockholders.

The largest stockholder among all of them.

My brother used to say it's more efficient

to expand business through mergers and acquisitions.

But is it okay to discuss this with me already?

We could've talked about it even earlier.

I guess the list

will be exposed after all.

Come in.

You must be in the middle of something important.

I don't need to introduce myself, right? We've met before.

Of course, I know who you are.

During the last stockholders' meeting,

you made a scene, mentioning the right to vote.

You're our largest stockholder.

Why do I feel like you're on guard?

I'm clearly on your side.

Well, I don't know.

I don't want to be on the same side

with someone who has a problem with his character.

I don't know if you've heard of the rumor

that involves you and my married niece.

It's so filthy that

I can't bring myself to say it myself.

Are you talking about an affair?

A mergers and acquisitions proposal for Hanju Hotel.

Why are you discussing this with her?

It's as if you know something has happened to Chairman Kang Mi-na.

Seung-wook, what are you talking about?

Discussing a takeover

with someone from Hanju behind the head of Yumin.

Isn't that also an affair in the business world?

Why don't you shelve the proposal

before I make an issue of it during the stockholders' meeting?

I guess there's been a misunderstanding.

Let's not talk about affairs anymore.

Sure, if that's what you want.

But you know this, right?

The right to vote that you love so much only applies during an election.

In an election, if you lose by just one percent, you lose everything.

But not in a company.

Whether we lose or not, we won't lose our shares

that take up 40 percent of all stocks.

I'll keep that in mind.

No matter how many times you remove or add a name on that list,

it's up to me to reveal it.

But whether someone's name is on it or not has nothing to do with you.

You got your memory back, so why are you so concerned about them?

Is it because of that man, Han Seung-wook?

Why are you suddenly so serious?

He must know you got your memory back.

Then does he know this too?

About his father's case that he brought to me…

Does he know who's behind it?

What do you know about it?

I found out while looking into it this time.

I thought it wouldn't do any good to talk about it

when you couldn't remember.

It doesn't matter to me

who your parents are.

But it's different with him.

Does he know this too?

I haven't gotten a chance to tell him.

What's holding you back?

Are you worried that he'd be hurt?

Or is it because

you're thinking of something else?

WARDEN'S OFFICE

The prosecutor who wanted to see me

was you?

EPILOGUE

I can wash my hair, shave, and eat with one hand,

but it's hard to cut meat.

If you have time, drop by and cut it for me.

But your doctor said your arm was fine.

I think Mr. No heard wrong.

Just cut it with scissors.

Why do you want me there again?

I can wash my hair, shave and eat with one hand,

but I can't open a juice bottle.

Gosh, how come there aren't any other bottles?

Could you drop by and open them for me?

Hello?

It's impossible to drive a nail alone. You must come over and help me.

Don't you think?

Gosh, you can do that sometime later.

Later?

Gosh, she's smart.

Isn't it considered cheating to get involved now?

I didn't know there were such rules.

I'm just waiting for the perfect timing to catch all the bad guys at once.

Don't just protect him.

Keep an eye on him so that he doesn't do anything stupid.

So stop looking down on me whenever you see me.

That fool. How dare she try to hold me back?

It's because of Prosecutor Cho, isn't it?

What's your relationship with her?

And I'm the daughter of Kang Myung-guk, the arsonist.
