Original subtitles

It wasn't your fault.

I took money in exchange for saying

I started the fire.

You were paid?

By whom? Who paid you?

I didn't know who he was.

He came to see me at the police station.

He said he worked for Hanju.

You took money from Hanju?

Why?

Was the money

that paid for my food and education

from Hanju?

Why did you take that money? Why?

By any chance,

was the Hanju employee who came to the police station

this man?

Yes.

14 YEARS AGO

HANJU FASHION SEOPYUNG FACTORY

Where are they?

-Help! -This way!

Come in.

-You search that way. -My goodness.

What do we do?

Wait.

After throwing a tantrum saying you'd burn everything down,

did you really set it on fire?

What do you mean?

-What? -What?

-Was it you? -You jerk!

People accused me at the scene,

so I was taken to the police station.

MAY THEY REST IN PEACE

I heard Mother was cremated

without a funeral,

so I begged them to let me go.

CHOI SEUNG-OK

Why did you come here?

What right do you have to come here?

It's all your fault.

Why did you call Grandma?

Things like this always happen when you show up.

You should've just stayed in prison. Why did you come out?

Yeon-ju.

There was a misunderstanding, but it'll be cleared up soon.

I mean it. I swear before my mother.

This is a misunderstanding.

I'll explain everything once I get out.

Mother.

LOOKING FOR WITNESSES

Hello.

May I put these up?

You can put one up there.

The police determined that the fire at the Hanju factory in Seopyung

was the act of a disgruntled worker who was angry about being laid off.

According to Seopyung Police, the suspect Kang had forewarned

that he'd set the factory on fire and burned tissues in a trash can.

He has admitted his guilt.

Imagine how I felt

when I saw on the news that you confessed

after swearing to me that you didn't.

That last sliver of hope that I was holding on to

snapped that very moment.

I had no choice.

Who…

Are you my attorney?

Please get me out of here.

This is unfair.

What is?

-What? -What's unfair?

I didn't start the fire.

But you wanted to.

That was just talk.

I didn't mean to really do it.

Would people believe you?

Do you think they would believe

an ex-con thug?

You can't get out anyway.

Thugs like you

should be used to these things.

What do you say?

Why don't you take some money and keep your mouth shut?

At that moment,

I felt like what my daughter needed

wasn't this useless dad

but money.

That was why I agreed.

My condition was

that they make sure you never find out

that I was paid.

Why did you decide that by yourself?

You

always ended up being hurt

when I was in your life.

Why did you think that…

Things like this always happen when you show up.

You should've just stayed in prison. Why did you come out?

Why do you still barge into my life and mess up everything?

Why?

Yeon-ju.

Okay. You don't have a choice anymore.

Tell me

everything you know about Mi-na.

Who is she?

Not long ago,

I saw medicine in our room with someone else's name on it.

PRESCRIPTION

Cho Yeon-ju.

It was from a hospital, not a pharmacy,

so I called the hospital director.

There was a record in the VIP ward.

I went right over.

Which room is Cho Yeon-ju in?

I'm here to visit her.

It says she was discharged.

She left right away.

That can't be.

Wasn't it her?

Yes, it was.

She stayed briefly and left.

May I see her medical file?

I'm sorry, but I can't let you see that.

I couldn't get anything else.

They couldn't give me info about a VIP patient.

Is that all?

All you know is her name and age.

It's true.

What will happen to her?

Don't you get it yet?

Cho Yeon-ju.

I've heard that name before.

Find someone for me.

All I have are her name and age.

Yes, ma'am.

Here.

I got calls from the ER all the time when I was young.

That my dad was stabbed

or that he beat someone to a pulp.

I was so used to it.

That was how you knew they had these things in the ER.

About that money.

Someone gave it to me

saying my grandma took out a life insurance on me.

I was too young

and didn't think to check the documents.

There's no way to find him now.

I'm so sorry. I don't know how to face you.

Don't say that.

No.

My grandma always said nothing ever happens

purely because of one person.

But after what I heard earlier, I think

it really was because of me.

If I had stopped my grandmother from going that day,

she'd still be alive today.

Then my father wouldn't have tried to take the blame

for something someone else did.

It really was purely because of me.

Why does my life stink so much?

From the moment I was born,

I've worked hard and given it my all.

Why must I always be embarrassed and ashamed,

and always feel so pathetic?

I hate my life so much.

I can't blame you.

He was never there for you.

He was always in and out of prison.

Whenever people almost forgot, he'd get out of prison

and cause trouble and humiliate you and your grandmother.

Your grandmother provided for the family all by herself.

How do you know that so well?

That was what your father said.

And after what he told you today,

I'm sure you hate him.

So…

let go of at least one thing.

What do you mean?

You have to find the person who killed your grandmother,

get revenge on the prosecutor from back then,

hate your father, and pretend to be Mi-na now.

Gosh.

What a tough life.

Let's reduce your burden.

Start by no longer hating your father.

It's not that easy.

I've said and done so many things.

Human beings are complex and multifaceted.

That was something you said.

He'll have to tell himself that was how you used to be, but not anymore,

and accept it.

Here.

Cheers.

Cheers.

That perked me up.

Right?

Do you want one more?

IDENTITY ASSURANCE STATEMENT

FATHER, KANG MYUNG-GUK

SERVING IN SEOPYUNG PENITENTIARY

She was the daughter of the Hanju factory arsonist.

CHO YEON-JU, LEE BONG-SIK

CHIEF RYU SEUNG-DUK

KANG MYUNG-GUK

CHO YEON-JU, LEE BONG-SIK

The lead prosecutor on the case

was Ryu Seung-duk, who is at the Central District Office now.

And as for the arson case

and the hit-and-run,

I'm sure he didn't properly investigate either of them.

So he's an enemy, to both of you.

Jung Do-woo offered Jang Seok-ho money and ordered him to kill Kang Mi-na.

It tells us she had something that could harm Hanju's reputation.

The details of what happened 14 years ago,

which was on the tablet.

Correct. 14 years ago, Jung Do-woo paid Jang Seok-ho

to give a false statement.

That's how he framed Yeon-ju's father.

I'm sure someone from Hanju started the fire.

Right.

So the most important thing we can draw from this…

is that her father didn't actually have anything

to do with your father's death.

Good.

Is that important now?

To me, it is the most important thing.

Oh, boy. Let's go home

and sleep comfortably for a change.

Are you kidding me?

How can I go to the Hanju's residence and sleep there after this?

I'll tell them I have to work all night,

so just say that if they ask you.

We should go to Seopyung first thing in the morning

and hear what her father has to say.

Sure, suit yourselves.

Wait, hold on. I should check the schedule.

The memorial service for Han Sung-chan is tomorrow.

It's the anniversary of his passing.

There's the shareholders' meeting too.

They'll probably discuss the transfer of my shares.

Let's just make sure we're not late for the meeting.

But if you don't go home again, they won't let it slide.

I let her off once,

and she's now pulling this whenever she wants.

Are you sure she's at work?

Wherever she is,

she'd better attend the memorial service.

Only a few people are attending,

so having the chairman of Yumin Group there will save our face.

Is that all you care about?

Why did you insist on holding a memorial service to begin with?

I'm already upset it'll be a small service

with just a few family members attending.

How could you say such a thing, Mother?

I'd feel better if I could think that he lived somewhere far away.

Holding a memorial service for him

just reminds me of the fact that my son is dead.

My gosh, Mother.

You love your eldest son so dearly.

Gosh, it's such a shame.

If he were alive,

he'd be getting all your love and your shares too.

Hey!

Hold on. Is Sung-woon not home yet either?

Do they both just not care anymore?

Hey.

I knew you'd come.

I can't believe you had the nerve to call me.

But you came.

You didn't have to come, you know.

You're the only one who cares about me.

Did your sister get you ousted?

What?

"Oust" is not slang. It's in the dictionary.

Do you not think at all

before you act?

Wait, do you even have a brain?

I can't believe you called me.

I love it when you say mean words to me

with your clear diction.

Do not call me again,

or you'll hear some curse words that are seriously offensive.

Do you think I still have feelings for you?

I came here to warn you.

Don't mess things up just because your plan fell through.

You'd better stay quiet

because things are still looking up for me.

Things are still looking up for you?

What does that mean?

Why would I tell you?

Enjoy the night to the fullest because this will be the last time.

After the shareholders' meeting tomorrow,

even the staff at your hotel bar will treat you like dirt.

Hi.

Hey, what's up?

Now you're the chief of the Central, you think you're out of my league?

SEOPYUNG DPO, KIM YONG-HA

You never call me anymore.

I don't have time for jokes. What's up?

Don't pretend to be busy.

Remember the case you transferred to our office?

About Hanju's daughter-in-law.

Yes, what about it?

An Yu-jun was in charge of the case.

I was looking for him this morning

because I had a task for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Then I found him in the archives.

What are you saying?

I checked what he was looking at to see what he was doing.

You worked on the Hanju factory arson case when you were here.

Turns out, he made copies of all the documents on the case.

Did you ask him

to look into something regarding Hanju?

RYU SEUNG-DUK

Hey, it's me. Is Ms. Cho in her office?

She called in sick.

What?

VISITATION ROOM

You're here.

No one came in, so I stepped out to check the time.

We'll be right in.

You were here yesterday too.

I guess that jerk is giving you the runaround, ma'am.

You see, arsonists have no remorse.

And he used to be a thug. What do you expect?

Good luck today.

Well, I can't feel better overnight

because of what I heard yesterday.

But now we know that there was a misunderstanding.

You received money in return for taking the blame,

so you're not completely innocent.

You're still an accomplice.

I'm okay,

so stay strong.

As if that's any of your business.

I'll get you out.

I wanted to be of help to you.

I wanted to pay for my mother's death

by rotting here for the rest of my life and take the truth to my grave.

But because I helped them conceal the truth,

I now owe this young man an apology.

And I thought I should tell you

that I didn't kill his father.

Okay, I heard you.

By the way, what really happened that day?

I only found out about your release that day.

It's soybean stew. Is Dad out?

Just be quiet and eat your food.

When did he get out?

I'm not eating this.

He didn't come here.

He knew you'd be like this, so he couldn't come here.

He's scared of his own daughter.

I even made his favorite dish, but he didn't come see his mum.

He was released a while ago.

He got a job at a big company.

-A big company? -At the Hanju Fashion factory.

Are you sure he's not getting involved in another protest?

He's been hired officially as a production worker.

Let's see how long he stays.

He's already worked there for almost a month.

Grandma.

It's time to give up on him.

"I've changed.

I'll never use violence again."

Then we got a call from the police.

It's happened too many times. If you keep falling for his lies,

he'll never change.

You're right. You're such a smart girl.

I'll never fall for his lies again.

I'll make sure my son stays on the right path.

I'd say that if I were a respected

independence activist's mother on TV.

But I can't because I feel bad for not raising my son right.

If I don't welcome him and feed him, who would?

What about you?

Every time someone brings up your dad, you flip your lid,

get into a fight and quit school.

Why should I put up

with a troublemaker like you?

Think of how I must feel. You're responsible for him as his mother,

but what about me?

Not all parents are satisfied with their children.

It's the same the other way around.

Not all children are satisfied with their parents.

You may feel it's unfair, but what can you do?

That darned brat.

Still, I didn't get a call from the police this time.

Imagine how relieved I was to hear he was working in a factory.

He'll be fine as long as he doesn't lose his temper

and hit someone.

I doubt it.

I bet he gets in trouble again in a few days.

HANJU FASHION

You heard about the theft that happened in the office yesterday,

right?

All the money from our clients went missing.

Yes.

The culprit is definitely among us.

Even if it were an outsider,

there must have been an accomplice within the company.

You have a criminal record, don't you?

Your family seems to be struggling too.

What are you trying to say?

I only started working here recently.

How would I know where that money is?

I mean… Search me.

That day, someone important was supposed to visit.

I think that's why they wanted to cover up the incident.

They weren't going to trust me from the beginning.

They just wanted to pin everything on me.

They even paid me the next month's salary and kicked me out.

If they thought I was the culprit, why would they pay me?

They must've felt bad about framing me

when there wasn't even any evidence!

If they investigated, they would've known it wasn't you.

What's wrong with them?

During the investigation, they found out about my criminal record.

But that doesn't mean I'm the thief!

As you know, I've only been convicted of assault so far.

I've never committed any thefts!

Goodness, I'm so proud of you.

It's because you get into fights all the time

and try to solve everything with violence

that people suspect you whenever something happens.

I've had enough of your nagging. I'm hanging up!

How could they treat a member of the Nammoon Gang like this?

I can't take this money. I won't!

I'll burn everything in front of everyone!

I don't need this chump change.

In front of everyone, I'll set fire to it!

You think I'm a thief? You hurt my pride!

What do you take me for?

What is it?

What are you up to now?

You'll burn what?

How much did you drink?

Listen.

Don't be such a nuisance in the middle of the night.

Wait right there.

I'm coming over now.

Don't do anything and wait right there, okay?

Goodness.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go get your dad. Lead the way.

See? I knew he'd get in trouble.

What did he do now? A gang fight?

He's not in trouble yet.

You go alone. I'm not going. I'm sick and tired of this.

My goodness.

I just want them to listen to me.

Who cares if I set fire

to a bunch of money?

Why is she making such a fuss?

Gosh.

Darn it.

I can't believe that old woman.

How is she going to get here at this hour anyway?

She should've just stayed home.

There's no way she can get here.

What?

Why is there smoke?

What's going on? How did the fire start?

But something didn't feel right.

What? What do you mean?

It felt like something had changed.

What's this?

Something I didn't see earlier was on fire.

I saw the Hanju Fashion logo on the front cover.

HANJU FASHION

A ledger.

That's what it looked like.

Hanju Fashion's ledger…

was outside?

Your father must have tried to either move the ledgers

or burn them up, thinking it was too late.

He couldn't escape the fire

because of the ledgers.

If the ledger was outside,

why was he inside?

Maybe he couldn't come out.

Could the important visitor

have been your father?

He went there unannounced.

That's why no one knew he was in the fire.

His car was found in the garage afterward,

and it seemed like he drove there himself.

Then who's the important person that was supposed to come?

I'm not sure.

Back then, Hanju Fashion was under Hanju Trade.

So it may have been my uncle, the then president of Hanju Trade.

He also benefited the most

from my father's death.

Did you say only your father's car was found in the garage afterward?

Yes.

While working as a prosecutor,

I've requested many warrants for hit-and-run cases.

A lieutenant at the traffic division once told me this.

In a hit-and-run case,

what's most important is where the car came from.

My grandma's accident was

such a long time ago.

There were no CCTV cameras anywhere near the scene.

No witnesses nor any clues.

So it was impossible to find out where the car had come from.

But if something happened

between Chairman Han and your father

and Chairman Han left in a car,

he may be the person who hit my grandma.

I think we should go to Seopyung DPO. Let's go.

PROSECUTOR AN YU-JUN INVESTIGATOR KIM JU-HYUNG

The case files are a mess.

Most interviews were omitted.

Is that okay?

The prosecutor gets to decide what goes on record.

Was there really an important visitor that day?

According to the factory employees' statements in the case files,

there were no scheduled appointments or visitors that day.

But the person who asked the witnesses from that night

to lie was Jung Do-woo.

He was Han Young-sik's driver at the time.

That's right.

It's unlikely that he went there alone on the day of the fire.

But Chairman Han Young-sik had an alibi on record that he was in his office.

It could've been a lie.

A witness mentioned only in an early article said

that he had left work late and heard people arguing.

He's in the prosecution's file too.

But he changed his statement the next day.

He said he was mistaken.

Then we should find him.

He died.

About two weeks after the fire.

The cause of death was overworking,

and they didn't investigate.

Darn it.

Anyway, what's with this teamwork?

Why do you know all of this so well?

SEOPYUNG HANJU FACTORY FIRE

I brought this in case you were interested in Hanju Group.

I investigated all I could and gave it all to him.

I found out recently

after I gave you the USB drive about the witness dying.

But it was too long ago, so there were no hospital records.

There wasn't much I could gather.

In other words,

we have to uncover facts that are not in the prosecution's file,

which we can't find because it has been too long.

That's right.

-Why are you standing up? -It's like term savings maturing.

What is?

All of this happened in Seopyung.

Let's go cash out.

-My gosh. -My gosh, Ms. Cho!

-It's been so long. -How have you been?

When the fire department goes out!

We save lives!

You haven't changed.

If you need anything,

call him anytime.

Mr. An Yu-jun, a prosecutor at Seopyung District.

Even before the laws were changed,

Seopyung's Fire Department was allowed to run over

illegally parked cars thanks to Ms. Cho

stating there was clear intent and slamming them with fines.

We got really used to that and our jobs are so comfortable.

Of course.

Ambulances and fire trucks should always go forward.

That's not all. You knew everyone's connections

and covered up the fire inspection corruption

by higher-ups so that there were no problems.

Is it okay to talk about this?

You always say what you want

and then ask if it's okay.

You haven't changed one bit.

Changing isn't good.

Anyway, you were in Seopyung for almost 15 years, right?

Seopyung is a great place to live,

so there couldn't have been many big fires.

Of course not. Why do you ask?

May we go somewhere and chat?

Sure. Come in.

Her term, savings…

Was with a person.

Yes, I remember the Hanju factory fire.

I was a rookie back then.

They say what you see as a rookie stays with you until you retire.

One person died in that fire, right?

Yes. There were many people in the dorm,

but someone had gotten them out safely.

But human beings are strange.

That man deserved a medal for being a hero,

but it turned out he was the arsonist.

Was there anything strange at the scene of the fire?

The man who died probably died

because he was trapped when the fire shutter came down.

It was way too late by the time we found him.

When there is a fire,

most victims are found by exits and windows.

So it wasn't strange that he was there.

But there was no trace.

Trace?

Whatever the case may be, if you make it to the fire shutter,

you pat the shutter to look for the door,

bang on it, or something like that.

So that always breaks my heart.

You see handprints on the shutter and traces of the victims

trying to get it open.

But…

there was nothing like that on the shutter.

Even if he had spent all his energy getting there…

But that couldn't have been.

He was lying down too straight.

But since it was arson,

I assumed

the cops would get an autopsy or something and figure it out.

SEOPYUNG FIRE DEPARTMENT

I never heard anything about an autopsy.

My uncle had moved my father

to Hanju Hospital before the police even arrived.

You can require an autopsy regardless of where the body is.

There was no request made.

What's wrong with the chief prosecutor?

Why does he want pictures of his junior prosecutor on sick leave?

What if this is considered surveillance?

Going to the police was a dead end,

so you'll go to the fire department.

These runts are getting creative.

My gosh. Ms. Cho.

It's been so long.

-How have you been? -Hold on.

This is Yu-jun.

Who is this jerk?

Where have I seen him before? Does he work at a department store?

SEOPYUNG FIRE DEPARTMENT

What? She showed up in Seopyung?

Yes. She's gallivanting around town

with two guys.

Are you sure she was the woman

who chased you for the USB drive?

I told you. I'm positive.

Even if you cover your face,

people like us just know.

So? Should I keep tailing her?

Yes, just stay on her for now.

Also, have you heard the name Cho Yeon-ju before?

Cho Yeon-ju?

Hold up. That name sounds very familiar.

That rumor is true?

-Yes. -What is going on here?

Are you saying you ran the DNA test

not to silence the fake rumor, but to prove it was true?

I couldn't tell you that back then, but yes, that's correct.

Why are you telling me this now?

I requested a DNA test

using the DNA sample you gave me, and we're getting the results today.

We're short on time,

so the results will be delivered to the shareholders' meeting.

I need you to announce it there.

That means she'll lose her position

as chairman of Yumin.

No. That's not important.

She'll be taken out in handcuffs.

I called SBC

and planted a reporter in the shareholders' meeting,

so once you make the announcement,

the world will find out almost instantly.

Is it wise to expose this so publicly?

We may be humiliated for being played by that fraud.

Oh, my.

I'm actually doing this for you.

You are?

Think of the pros first.

She's the chairman of Yumin.

You can't catch her if you don't do something public.

Also, the one who lied is at fault.

We're just victims who fell for her lies.

That's true.

I can't lose something bigger just to save face.

Then where's my real niece?

The fake should know.

The fake may have already done something to the real one.

It is heinous,

but we don't really need

the real one to show up.

The Prosecutors' Office should be able to investigate.

What do you think?

If that happens,

I'll feel bad, but what can you do?

All her life, she's been a nuisance to the family.

She is my niece, but I don't feel attached to her in any way.

Anyway, I'll remember everything you did for me

if we can just get that con artist locked up.

I'm sure there were security cameras inside the factory.

Even if that was the case, they'd be gone by now.

Forget the factory workers.

Why don't we look for other witnesses?

The factory is in the middle of nowhere.

No one went there unless they worked at the factory.

Someone else was in the area that day.

-Who? -Me.

My grandmother's accident took place near the factory,

and I was close by.

Is there anything you remember?

That's the problem.

I was in panic mode that day.

I can barely recall the things that I used to remember.

FORENSIC HYPNOSIS INVESTIGATION ROOM

It's worth a try.

It relies on memory, so it's not admissible in court,

but it may be helpful for the investigation.

It tends to be very effective when the person really wants

to recall what happened.

All right. Shall we get started?

Relax. Breathe in and out.

Take a deep breath.

We will now dig up your old memories.

Deep in your heart,

are there any images

or still shots of past events

that you are holding on to?

Try to remember what happened.

It's the night of October 2, 2007.

Clearly, I got my temper from Grandma.

She got mad at me because I raised my voice at her.

The bus stops running early.

I can't believe she went alone.

It's odd.

What's odd?

The bus stops running early,

and I never see cars on that road.

But I see a car driving by.

And what's even weirder is…

I've never seen such an expensive car in this area.

What's that car doing here?

What's the car model?

I don't know.

I've never seen that model before.

But the emblem is…

It looks like a beetle of some sort.

I see.

Now, you can see the license plate number.

Read it out to me.

Five…

Eight. I see eight.

HANJU AUTOMOBILE LAUNCHES 100 LIMITED-EDITION CARS

HANJU AUTOMOBILE

Three, two, five, eight.

With an emblem that looks like a beetle.

It was my uncle's car.

HANJU AUTOMOBILE

There were no follow-up articles about it.

And there was never the limited-edition model.

Okay, thank you.

The car was scrapped on October 3, 2007.

The day after the incident.

Chairman Han Young-sik hit my grandmother with his car

while driving alone.

And Ryu Seung-duk helped him cover it up.

But there is nothing we can do now

if Chairman Han doesn't respond at all.

Too much time has passed.

And we have no solid evidence to prove that he did it.

There's a strategy I use

when I have a suspect in mind but no solid evidence

when I work on old cases.

What is it?

Attacking them on the blind side.

Usually, we raid them

after securing evidence, right?

But we'll launch an attack without evidence.

What's he doing here?

What brings you here?

I only heard about Sung-chan's death later and couldn't even attend his funeral,

so I wanted to attend this today.

Come in.

When you do something bad, you can't be at peace with it.

You may think you've put it behind you,

but when someone brings it up, the memories come flooding back

and shake you all up,

like a snow globe tossed upside down.

Even though a lot of time has passed,

it still feels like yesterday.

You can never really get over your loved one's sudden death.

I still vividly remember the day my father passed away.

Didn't you visit

the factory in Seopyung the day he passed away?

It'd throw you off,

so you'd suddenly appear out of sorts.

What are you saying, all of a sudden?

I was told there was something suspicious about your alibi.

My alibi?

What did you hear that you're asking such a question?

Do you have proof I was there that day?

No, I don't.

But I don't believe your evidence

that you weren't there that day.

Then you'd do things that are out of character,

such as visiting your accomplice

you haven't even called in years.

I don't know why I have to explain myself now,

but will you believe me if I bring a witness you can trust?

Is there such a witness?

Ms. Kim.

You visited my office

around the time of the accident, saying you had a message for me.

Yes, I did.

No, like a double agent.

I was also close to Chairman Han Young-sik.

Seung-wook, can you leave?

This is the anniversary of Sung-chan's passing.

Must you be this disrespectful to my father on a day like this?

Darn it. I'm tired.

I wanted to ask you about it at least once

to see

how you remember the incident.

Sorry I interrupted you.

What are you up to these days?

Just working, as usual.

"As usual"?

You're a prosecutor. Your "usual" should be

being stuck in your office, going through all the documents.

Are you a mole? Why are you digging and snooping around?

I'm not following, sir.

Look at you.

You little…

What is this?

Isn't this you?

I'm not sure.

You little…

What are you playing at here?

Take a good look.

Ms. Cho!

-Long time no see. -My gosh.

Why did you do it?

Did Cho Yeon-ju put you up to it?

I would never accept such a request.

What?

Kiddo, you're just a junior prosecutor.

Do you think this organization is a joke?

I'm the chief prosecutor, you know.

I hear your family is pretty well-off.

I suppose that's why you can be this gutsy.

But do you think

any company in this country can survive a tax investigation?

Do you want your family and relatives

to be turned upside down?

If you behave recklessly, you might destroy your entire family.

Stop here.

Answer me.

Why you little…

Hey. Don't you know who I am?

I am the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Everything I bury remains buried. Understood?

Snoop around all you want.

Do you think things will go your way?

That's not why we're doing this.

We're okay if they don't.

What?

So you're going to keep playing this game?

Answer this.

When you summoned Chairman Kang Mi-na,

who was the person that came?

Kang Mi-na…

or Cho Yeon-ju?

What is Cho Yeon-ju up to now?

Did you think I wouldn't put a tail on her?

Why did Seung-wook suddenly show up and talk nonsense?

No idea.

How could he ruin our party like this?

Hey.

A memorial service for my son is not a party.

How can you be so insensitive?

We must have left Seung-wook alone too long.

He'll be taken care of along with Mi-na soon.

Seung-wook and Mi-na…

No, the woman who pretends to be Mi-na fooled everyone.

What are you talking about?

I can't tell you right now,

but you'll see after the shareholders' meeting.

I knew we probably couldn't stay until the service ended

because of the meeting.

Let's get going.

Look at you. To think you're the only son I have left.

My goodness.

Until when did you drink last night?

You haven't done this in a while. What's with you?

An irresponsible life

suits me better, don't you think?

What's going on? Are you high?

If I do use drugs,

it's not because I want to.

It's because my sister wants me to.

What are you talking about?

Hey, you should sober up.

Thanks to your wife, you got the opportunity of a lifetime.

In front of your father…

An opportunity?

Didn't you hear what Sung-hye said?

Everything is over.

Is this about the rumor about Mi-na?

That rumor saying Chairman Kang Mi-na is fake.

Are you saying it's true?

Why is everyone talking nonsense today?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Mi-na unlocked her tablet

with her fingerprint and everything.

So I thought it was a groundless rumor.

I did think something was off.

You mentioned that she had a thorough health check-up

after the accident

and her ovaries were extremely healthy, right?

What about it?

She once told me she was infertile.

What?

If that rumor is true…

Who have I been telling all those secrets to?

And who have I been buttering up all this time?

Hey!

Who cares?

A woman I don't even know

twisted my arm, insulted me,

and walked all over me!

I can't believe this.

What is going on?

In addition to the stock transfer,

I have another important announcement to make today.

There have been many horrible rumors going around

about Chairman Kang Mi-na of Yumin Group lately.

More than anything,

people have been saying that the chairman is fake.

Faced with this crisis, after much thought,

we've decided to tackle the situation head-on.

May I say something?

Is it really necessary to bring up those groundless rumors here?

If they're not true, wouldn't it be best

if you proved that to everyone?

Kang Jang-soo, the former chairman of Yumin Group,

and Kang Mi-na, the current chairman of Yumin Group.

Their paternity test results just arrived.

How did you carry out the test?

My father's body hasn't been retrieved yet.

You're right.

But the vacation home that my brother often visited

still remains intact.

We were too busy to clean up the place,

but it was a good thing after all.

I collected his razor and toothbrush from there.

As for Chairman Kang Mi-na,

for some reason,

she seemed to be away all the time.

So her samples were collected

through a member of Hanju Group, who she currently lives with.

Mr. No, what do I do?

Should I run away?

That would look strange.

Apparently, the test revealed

an extremely important fact that couldn't be overlooked.

So I'd like to ask Chairman Kang for an explanation here

and hold her responsible.

To prevent any suspicion

of tampering with the results, I'll open the envelope here.

STR ANALYSIS AND PATERNITY TEST RESULTS

I know you're all busy. I'll go straight to the important part.

"An analysis of 15 DNA markers

of Kang Jang Soo and Kang Mi-na reveals

that they share 14 out of 15 alleles…"

Well…

Give me a second.

What?

What are you waiting for? Read on.

Okay.

"Based on the amount of DNA shared between the two,

the probability of paternity

is 99.9999 percent."

DNA ANALYSIS RESULTS

MATCH

99.9999 PERCENT

YUMIN ELECTRONICS

GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

What did you just say?

I mean…

Why?

I'm Chairman Kang Jang-soo's biological child?

EPILOGUE

Five…

Eight?

Eight. I see eight.

Open your eyes slowly.

I think I see someone.

Grandma?

Grandma.

Don't go, Grandma.

Don't go.

If I had stopped my grandmother

from going that day,

she'd still be alive today.

It really was purely because of me.

Hold on.

I think she has something to say.

Should we wait?

Grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Yeon-ju, is that you?

Grandma.

Grandma, don't go. If you go now, something bad will happen.

I have to.

Your father is beside himself right now.

Don't go. If you go now, you'll die.

I still have to.

Even if you try to stop me, I must go.

I'll be right back. See you.

No, don't go.

You'll die because of me.

How can I possibly die because of you?

You got your temper from me.

Even if you try to stop me, do you think I'll listen?

I have to go and stop my son

from getting in trouble.

You can't.

If you go now,

I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.

You'll die because of me,

and I'll blame and resent myself

for the rest of my life.

Will you still go?

My goodness. I knew you'd be like this.

If you were someone great,

like those gold medalists on TV,

you'd listen to me and do as I say.

But you're just my granddaughter. That's why you won't listen.

Yeon-ju.

Nothing in the world happens

purely because of other people.

Everything happens because of you.

The same goes for me and your father.

Do you understand?

A fire breaks out

because someone starts it.

A car accident happens

because someone drives poorly.

Whether you live a good life

or a bad life depends on you.

You've done enough.

From now on, live for yourself.

I do have a good life.

I became a prosecutor.

And the factory fire

wasn't started by Father.

You've made it, my sweetie.

See? I told you.

Your father may lose his temper and hit someone once in a while,

but he would never start a fire.

Grandma. I'll find out

who did that to you.

I'll also prove my father's innocence.

So don't worry and get going now.

Okay.

I will.

Put these on.

Grandma.

It's regrettable that Hanju Group

provided my DNA samples without my consent.

I don't want you to be my enemy.

My father got rid of my sister, and I survived.

Do you think that's because of me? It's because of that woman.

Let me be a part of the game that you started.

Don't do anything stupid again.

What you're attacking is my company.

I've been trying so hard for nothing.

I begged for something that was never going to be mine.

Are you sure you doted on me? You were only going to use me.

I'll have Chairman Han Young-sik arrested.

Get rid of Cho Yeon-ju.
