ALL NAMES, CHARACTERS,
AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL

CHILD AND ANIMAL WELFARE
REGULATIONS WERE OBSERVED

Seon-ho, let's get going.

Okay. Coming.

I'm leaving now.

I'll see you later.

Please don't argue

and try to get along.

Geez, I wonder why my knees were aching.

It looks like it will rain.

What?

Rain? But it's so sunny.

It will rain. You'll see.

Chairman of H Group, Yang Hoon, who is
facing charges of illegal succession,

appeared in court today
for a pre-trial detention hearing.

A decision on Chairman Yang's custody
is expected

between midnight and early morning.

What we need is evidence.

Proving the defendant's wrong

and providing physical evidence
will be the key.

I went to Chairman Yang's vacation home
to see his special guest today.

And guess who I met there.

Hwa-jin. Lee Hwa-jin!

So Chairman Yang is using
Lee Hwa-jin as a free pass.

That's why she called Choi Myeong-ju in.

He's offering Lee Hwa-jin
in exchange for his release.

FIRST LADY'S SECRETARY PARK SANG-HUI

Hello, Secretary Park.
This is Cha Su-yeon.

I'd like to meet the First Lady.

SUNSHINE GROUP'S SOUP KITCHEN DAY

Welcome.

Enjoy.

-Thanks for the food.
-Sure.

Thanks for the food.

-Ma'am.
-Yes.

Try to look more natural.

How can I look natural
with the cameras moving around?

Come on. You're doing a great job.

-Geez.
-Secretary Park.

Let's take a quick touch-up break.

Shall we?

All right. Go for it.

This is looking good.

Oh, no. It wasn't enough food.

Here.

Come back for more if you need it.

It's looking great.

Here you go.

There. Enjoy.

-Ma'am.
-Yes?

Good. Shall we wrap up here, then?

-Good work.
-Good work.

Good work, everyone.

Geez, my back hurts.

Good job.

-Good job.
-Thanks.

-What?
-Could you check the photos?

Sure.

I like this one

and this one.

You and Secretary Park pick the B-cuts.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Good work.

Thanks for your help, ma'am.

-Thanks for your help.
-Good job.

-You're amazing.
-Oh, please.

You did a wonderful job.

Unbelievable.

How dare you show your face here?

Are you getting a handover
from the First Lady or what?

She hasn't divorced yet.

This is her last gasp,
saying "It's not over for me yet."

Right. It's her last gasp.

Let's just leave her be.

Let her do whatever she wants
before her downfall.

It's not just her last gasp.

The whole world knows that
she and Chairman Yang are in it together.

And Chairman Yang is now
about to land behind bars.

Isn't it obvious why she's here?

Are you saying she's here
to beg the First Lady for help?

No wonder she's been doing the dishes
with her mouth shut.

No. She's always been
good at doing the dishes.

She's like a human dishwasher.

-"A human dishwasher."
-Right.

-"A human dishwasher."
-What are you so happy about?

Ma'am.

I'm so happy because you're here with us.

-Oh, come on.
-She's right.

We're doing good deeds
while hearing your encouragement.

-We can't be happier.
-Right.

You're just flattering me.

All right. Let's clean up and go.

We should have some food too.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.

Can we

talk?

FIRST LADY BRINGS WARMTH
TO SOUP KITCHEN

I look so puffy.

Don't you agree?

No way. You look gorgeous.

I feel embarrassed, hearing that from you.

You look worn out.

No wonder though. It must be tough.

It's okay.

I'm doing fine.

Being tough is good,
but don't pretend to be tough.

I mean, we're supposed
to be honest with each other.

I'm kind of hurt.

I appreciate your concern.

But I'm really fine.

I heard you're taking it to court.

It looks like it.

I see.

I told them not to publish your photo.

This isn't a good time to be talked about.

I appreciate it.

And thanks for mentioning me
to the President as well.

I did my best,

but this is all he can do.

Sure, the ruling party has been switched.

But the party's complaining
about delaying the meeting

with the President-elect.

I apologize.

I should've been

more considerate.

I'm keeping them waiting.

I suppose you don't want to join.

I borrowed these from you.

I forgot to give them back.

What?

The earrings.

YU JIN-MYEONG
APRIL 4, 2012

Right.

You could've sent it through someone.

There was no need to bring it yourself.

Well.

No matter how busy you are,
you must not skip meals.

People say that for a reason.

You need to eat even better

at times like this.

-There she goes.
-Oh, my.

Should we follow her car?

-Yes.
-Good.

-What?
-What?

Looks like they're going to eat together.

-Unbelievable.
-That's insane.

This is annoying.

Cha Su-yeon, the President-elect's wife
who is at the center of attention,

delivered a personal apology

to her supporters
in front of her residence today.

Following her sincere apology,

fan clubs that had been staging protests
dispersed from the scene.

Yet the scandal caused a major setback
to President-elect Hyun Min-cheol,

even before his inauguration.

The results of today's research show--

The President plans
to visit the flood site.

Why don't you join him?

It'll be a good chance
to turn public opinion around.

A good chance?
When people died and got hurt?

I'm sorry.

But right now, we need people
to see you with the President.

There's been no official meeting
with him since the election,

and people are worried.

If the President cares
about what people think,

they have no good reason
to turn down our offer.

Was it Secretary Shin?

Pardon?

Isn't it her plan?

I apologize.

She's becoming more and more like her.

Pardon?

Nothing.

It is definitely time for a confrontation.

Whether it's about Chairman Yang
or the special act,

at the end of the day,
I'll have to deal with the President.

Call the Blue House.

The Chief Secretary
has already been notified

by Secretary Shin.

You can head off right now.

Stop being Secretary Shin's puppet

unless you want to lose your job too.

I apologize.

I told her to look
into a hit-and-run death case.

I want you to take over.

It took place on February 26
at 27 Haean-ro, Haseong.

The victim was Eom Sun-jeong.

Born in 1982.

Eom Sun-jeong?

Isn't that the H Chemical employee
you wanted the contact info for?

How--

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I gave you her contact info.
Have you met her?

I'm not sure if I can say I met her,

but I did see her after she passed.

Right. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have asked.

Check with the police too
and let me know if you find anything.

Yes, sir.

Baengnyeong Island, where five people
were killed and eleven remain missing,

has been declared

a special disaster zone
as the damage continues to grow.

A helicopter has been
on standby since five minutes ago.

The travel route is clear,
and the rain has stopped.

However,

President-elect Hyun
has been waiting for an hour.

He'd like to join you to the flood site.

Well planned, right?

President and president-elect
visiting a flood site together.

Right?

How shall we proceed?

Tell him today will be difficult.

Yes, say that to him.

Yes, sir.

You didn't need to be so blunt.

You said you had something to say.

The Chairman Yang investigation

should be stopped.

What are you saying?

I need something to keep me
from prison when I step down.

In this country,
former presidents usually end up in jail.

It wasn't the president-elect who
brought the recorded tape to negotiate,

saying it was from his late father.

It was Su-yeon.

So I postponed the meeting for them.

I can't be pushed around
like this forever.

YU JIN-MYEONG
APRIL 4, 2012

People aren't taking
the H Chemical fire lightly.

If we leave it like this,
no one can say where the sparks will fly.

I will handle the police investigation.

And you--

You said it'd be a casual tea time,
but the tea looks special.

Longjing tea is at its best
in taste and color on the third brew.

On the first and second brew,

some people find the scent too strong.

What's wrong? Do you not like it?

I don't know much about tea.

I see what you mean.

The scent is still too strong,
even on the third brew.

Enough with the tea talk.
Let's get to the point.

You even brought something from
your late father. It must be important.

What would happen

if these words got out to the world?

Are you threatening me right now?

I'm giving you a chance

to protect yourself.

I won't be the only one going down
if this gets out.

This will also affect you,
as the direct heiress of Chairman Cha,

which will affect your husband as well.

If it's a debt I'll have to pay anyway,

I might as well pay it now.

Your political career will be over

if you reveal this.

Why die together

when you can live together?

This is

your third presidential run, right?

If you don't win this one,

do you think you'll get…

another chance in five years?

My husband is young.

If he falls, he'll get back on his feet,
like he always has.

Even after five, ten, and 15 years.

But do you think
it's the same for you, Assemblyman Yu?

Time is on our side.

This tea.

I thought its scent was too strong,

but somehow I'm drawn to the strong scent.

You said you were giving us a chance
to protect ourselves.

Now, tell us what you want in return.

There can't be a copy, right?

She said
if we have the investigation stopped,

it won't be brought up again.

Finally, it's over.

The fishbone that's been stuck
in my throat for all five years of my term

is finally out.

I feel so bad for Su-yeon.

Her mother took her own life

over a scandal
involving her illegitimate child.

Her father became her political enemy
and then suddenly died,

as if

he was urgently paying off the old debt.

She's a hurt kid.

And someone like that
doesn't hesitate to hurt others.

Do you think
this is really the original copy?

Is this really it?

She's a dangerous person.

She can be neither a friend
nor an enemy to us.

That's why we started
investigating Chairman Yang.

We must have something on her too
to protect ourselves.

As long as we're carrying a sword,
we'll be her enemy.

It's not a sword. It's a shield.

It's a sword if it's a sword to her.

What do you want me to do?

A sword or a shield, it's been drawn.

A sword

is more threatening
when it's in its sheath.

Put that sword back in

and give Su-yeon a chance.

The president-elect isn't the one
who'll guarantee our safety.

It's her.

The investigation into Chairman Yang

wasn't due to the special act?

The investigation is
indeed a sort of bill,

but we've already been paid

for that bill.

It has nothing to do with the special act.

An investigation can make
anyone look guilty.

President Yu wouldn't do that.

How do you know?

Trust me.

He would never do that.

That's why my wife was so sure

that the President wouldn't do that.

Who do you think

shattered the party's unified position
in an instant?

It was

your wife.

The first thing you did as a president

was the Do Tae-hun Special Act.

Was that the first thing you had to do?

You can give up on the special act.

As if it never happened.

Is that so important?

More important than me?

Is it more important than our marriage?

This time,

it will be you.

Is the person
who has been blocking the special act…

my wife?

Didn't you know?

Then why were you trying to divorce her?

Wasn't it to pass the special act?

Was it to protect Su-yeon?

Because you thought we were investigating
Chairman Yang to stop the special act?

What deal did you make with my wife?

I'm sorry, but I can't be of help.

It's still not too late to drop the suit.

You can't protect

both Su-yeon and the special act.

You should let go of one of them.

THE 23RD PRESIDENT HYUN MIN-CHEOL

Su-yeon.

What deal did you make
with President Yu five years ago?

Is that why you called?

I heard you're the one
blocking the special act.

You, not the President.

Is that true?

This isn't something
to be talked about over the phone.

We're supposed to be fighting in court.

The First Lady says

that I can't protect

both you and the special act.

So?

Did you make a choice?

What are you protecting?

Me or Do Tae-hun?

What would you do if you were me?

Who would you choose?

I already made my choice.

I've got to go.

Sir?

Sir!

Where are you going?

I just…

want to walk for a bit.

It's too dangerous like this.

Our security regulations--

Hold on. If I shouldn't walk around,

let me just…

stay here like this.

Please, do that, sir.

Can I

hold this for a moment?

-But--
-I just realized that

it's been a while
since I held an umbrella in the rain.

Yes, sir.

Hello. Please vote for
candidate number three, Hyun Min-cheol.

Hi, I'm Candidate Hyun Min-cheol.

WE PROMISE SINCERITY!

Kang Seon-ho is family of the victim?

Yes.

I even double-checked.

Both of Kang's parents
were working for H Chemical.

After they died in the plant fire,

he was raised in an orphanage.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY…

"Punishment is not what we want."

"We want our family back."

"Revenge is not what I want."

"I want my mom and dad, who left
saying, 'I'll see you later,' that day

to come back home."

It's Kang's eulogy
from the memorial service in 2012.

He was in middle school then.

And Ms. Cha missed this?

That's very unlikely.

When Kang met Ms. Cha for the first time,

he was Yoon Ki-ju's attorney.

He lost his parents in the fire,

and he defended Yoon Ki-ju,

who was supporting
the suspected arsonist Do Tae-hun?

And that Kang Seon-ho is

defending Ms. Cha now?

What we know for sure is
that he's the only person who submitted

the power of attorney.

He's not just a lawyer.
He's a divorce lawyer who will

have access
to all kinds of personal information.

So why…

It needs to be framed
as an accident, not a disaster.

If the responsibility falls on him too,
it'll be hard to handle.

Actually, no.

Let's not make it an accident.

Let's make it look like
the protesters started the blaze.

So the contract worker issue
gets sidetracked.

We need a specific target,
not just a group of laborers.

Do Tae-hun…

Has he been found yet?

It's been two days already.

They're still searching,

but the chance that he's alive is…

Plant a story in the press that
Do Tae-hun instructed to block the police.

Is that really necessary?

It's a fact that he occupied
the plant with the union members.

But the fire wasn't his doing.

We need to know the cause of fire
to know the truth.

It'll take at least a few months
to get the results.

We need a target for people to focus on
to distract public attention.

If we don't do anything…

he will be framed for everything.

-But still--
-A man has died.

Someone should take the fall.

But Mr. Hyun saved people from the fire.

People see him as a hero,
and public sentiment is on his side.

Public sentiment is like the wind.

You never know where it will blow next.

The election is in one week.

Cha Jeong-yeon won't
just sit back and watch.

He'll try everything
to turn public opinion around.

If he starts to be blamed
for someone's death,

he'll be done in politics,

let alone win the election.

Haseong isn't just an electoral district.

It's the base of Cha Jin-taek,
the Election Committee Chief.

Losing Haseong means
losing the rest of the districts.

There was already controversy
about the hereditary nomination,

but Father pushed through it anyway.

He bet his shot at the presidency
on Haseong.

But nobody knows
what the fire incident will lead to yet.

That's exactly the problem.

The entire Party for Peace and Freedom,
not just Cha Jeong-yeon,

will do everything they can to blame him

for the fire.

Even so…

For now,

he must become the one who's been wronged.

Do everything you can,
including pretending to be a victim.

If the public

views him as the perpetrator,

we can't turn that around.

Tae-hun is what?

An arsonist?

A murderer?

We're in a hospital.

Candidate Hyun is a patient.

He needs rest.

You frame Tae-hun as an arsonist

when we don't know if he's alive.

Patient? Rest?

-Move.
-Ki-ju, hold yourself back.

Don't act like this here.

Mom.

They do this because we always hold back.

This is why we always get played!

They don't deserve your time.

Find someone better to deal with.

What if you jinx Tae-hun by doing this?

What if something bad happens to him
because of that?

Something bad has already happened!

Can't you tell
from all the stuff they're doing?

Min-cheol that scum

wants to become the hero
to win the election.

It's bad enough that Tae-hun died,

and now they're making him a murderer!

Who's dead?

Tae-hun is alive.

He's very much alive.
Why would you say he's dead?

Mom, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry,

but if nothing changes,

even if he comes back alive,

he won't be living.

He'll be branded a murderer who killed
his coworkers. He won't be living.

He's alive.

My Tae-hun is alive.

Can't you hear his voice?

"Mom, save me."

Can't you hear that?

What are you doing here?

You can't be here.

What wrong did Tae-hun do?

Why must he be called a murderer
in his death?

Do you think I don't know

that it was you guys' doing?

Let me go.

Hey, Min-cheol,
did Tae-hun start the fire?

Is he a murderer?

Come out and speak for yourself.

I know you can hear me!

Hyun Min-cheol!
You come out and explain yourself!

Let me go!

You're saying Ms. Cha manipulated
public opinion on the fire?

There's no proof.

It is just Yoon Ki-ju's one-sided claim.

But it's more than possible
that Kang Seon-ho believes him.

The press reports
and the investigation reports matched.

The court also decided that

Do Tae-hun's paint thinner
caused the fire.

Back then, it brought upon public outrage

that Do Tae-hun started the fire
and drove his coworkers to an early grave.

It couldn't have been a lie.

Forget it. What's important now is

why Kang Seon-ho decided
to take on the divorce case.

Are there more secrets I don't know?

Is Ms. Cha involved
in Chairman Yang's illegal succession too?

Who knows?

One thing I'm sure of is,

those secrets piled up one after another
and made President-elect who he is today.

And those secrets are
threatening him right now.

Just like the affair.

Is the affair

true?

If Ms. Cha misunderstood,

others would too.

Misunderstanding or not,

I can't possibly know
what happened before I joined.

Honestly, I don't want to know.

But the affair is a different matter.

President-elect is
involved in a lawsuit over it.

Others don't have to know,

but I must in order to deal with it.

Secretary Shin.

She declared a countersuit.

She said she'd demonstrate
the proof of his affair in court.

What proof could that be?

I can easily guess.

The messages they exchanged
or the call logs.

Something like that.

If not, photos or videos.

Both Ms. Cha and Ji-yu

seemed to suspect Lee Hwa-jin.

Who?

The stylist?

No way.

Seriously?

She'll think people will suspect her

just like how she suspected her.

If so, she'll point fingers
at Lee Hwa-jin.

We can claim that messages and videos
were fabricated,

but you can't fake a person.

So it's all up to what Hwa-jin says.

What do we do then?

I'll deal with Lee Hwa-jin.

Find out more about Kang Seon-ho.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

If she claims he's had an affair,
he really must've.

When President-elect first said
that he'd divorce her,

people called it a purge.

That he was getting rid
of a major contributor.

Everyone said

the president-elect and his wife
were fighting

over power which cannot be shared.

People said even worse things.

She was both a major contributor
and a faithful wife.

But now I can see that's not the problem.

Seeing how wiretapping, affair,
and countersuit are involved,

this is a war of love.

The special act and grand coalition
are buried,

and everyone's attention
is on the divorce.

What will happen to us now?

Gosh, Secretary Lee.

-Well, we'll get back to work now.
-Sir.

Join me and smoke.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

If she claims he's had an affair,
he really must've.

It can't be, right?

It can't be.

Lee Hwa-jin.

Lee Hwa-jin.

Lee Hwa-jin.

Who is it?

Secretary Shin, what brings you here?

Where's Hwa-jin? She won't pick up.

Well…

Why're you looking for her?

It's urgent. Where is she?

I wouldn't know. She's not a child.

After what happened to Ms. Cha,
I lost my subscribers.

I couldn't livestream anything.

They demanded that I return the donations.

But they didn't really give me much.

After the funeral,

we packed our stuff,
thinking we should just go on a trip,

but she suddenly left for a part-time job.

A part-time job?

She said accommodation would be provided.

DANGER
FOG AREA

LOOKING FOR A WITNESS
TO A HIT-AND-RUN CRASH

Mom.

Dad.

Mom.

OCCURRED ON 27 HAEAN-RO
AT AROUND 5 P.M. ON FEBRUARY, 2027

Just a second.

Yes, I was waiting for your call.

So,

did you think about my offer?

I'm still considering.

What? But we don't have much time left.

I know, I get it.

But I called to ask something else.

I heard my wife hired someone to bug me.

And it was you

who provided that information.

Oh, that…

Can we talk about it
through Secretary Shin?

I feel very uncomfortable

talking about it directly.

Secretary Shin quit.

I see.

I wish to meet that person.

Ms. Cha, I'm back.

Have a look.

-Ms. Cha.
-Ms. Cha.

How is this car?

She looks so beautiful today.

I prefer the previous car.

I scrapped that car.

It would've cost more to repair it.

Might as well get a new car.

You've driven that car
for almost 20 years.

I felt so bad
that I'd been so inattentive to you.

Then I will…

take the smaller one.

But I want to buy you the bigger car.

So I can borrow it from time to time.

And when Ji-yu gets her license,

you can help her with driving practice.

I learned how to drive from you too.

Speaking of which,

I learned everything from you.

This small car is perfect
for teaching Ji-yu.

I'll feel more at ease when I teach her.

Then shall we get this?

I'll choose the color.

Would yellow be nice like before?

Red looks nice too. It stands out.

Ms. Cha.

-You've gotten prettier.
-So pretty.

-Ms. Cha.
-Yes?

Are you all right?

What do you mean?

I'm wondering if you're really okay now.

Are you okay with showing up
in front of the others?

I'm fine.

I have to tell myself that
to actually feel all right.

Don't worry. I'm really fine.

LIM HYUN-GYO, PARTY FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM

Oh. Excuse me. I need to take this call.

Mr. Kim, discuss with her
and decide on the car options.

You know best about cars.

Yes, ma'am.

Check out the car brochure.

You called right on time.

Has everyone gathered?

Yes.

All the assemblymen you've mentioned
are waiting.

If everyone is present,
put me on speakerphone.

Okay.

You're on. Please speak.

CHA SU-YEON

Mr. Noh Cheol-jae.

Mr. Jo Hyun-seok. Ms. Han Kyung-ae.

I should visit you three in person,

but I'm quite busy
preparing for the trial nowadays.

Even if you're busy,

why did you gather us here?

Over a phone, at that.

You three seemed to spend

a lot of time with Mr. Lim recently,

so I thought I should inform you
via a phone call

to clear up any misunderstanding.

Let's hear you out.

What do you want?

As the key assemblymen of your party,

you three got the party together
to stop the special act.

Thank you.

But this will be the last time
I communicate with you

through Mr. Lim.

What… Hold on a second, Ms. Cha.

What are you saying?

You don't get it?

Lim Hyun-gyo,

you're out.

I asked you to unite the party.

I didn't ask you to do your own politics,

nominations and elections and whatnot.

Ms. Cha.

You're going too far.

I didn't do that.
On what grounds are you--

Assemblyman Jo and Assemblywoman Han
were very concerned.

They weren't sure if you had

Party for Peace and Freedom's interest
as your priority.

I know it'll be a hassle,

but I want Party Leader Noh
to represent me from now on.

Keep in touch with me directly.

I am

the leader of the opposition party.

It could become problematic
if we communicated directly.

All three of you

were handpicked by my late father.

You've worked with me
for a very long time.

We may be in different parties now,

but all of you are like family to me.

In particular, Mr. Noh.
Even when we were up against each other

for the Presidential election,

you gave me good advice as my mentor.

Even when you were
the leader of your party.

That's because

before we're political enemies,

we're like family, as you said.

Exactly.

So it won't be an issue at all.

Well…

If you say so,

I have no choice.

Then I'll entrust it to you.

Wait, Ms. Cha. Ms. Cha, hello? Ms…

Damn it.

Wait, Mr. Jo.

Mr. Noh.

Mr. Noh!

Ms. Cha!

Over here.

Why isn't she looking at us?

You haven't decided yet?

There are so many options
that it's confusing.

Technology has improved,
but it's become more complex.

Then just choose all.

Pardon? You should remove what you can.

When it's complicated,
make a simple choice.

I've decided.

Then I'll help you with the contract.

-Let's do it inside.
-Okay.

-She's going in now.
-Oh, no.

-Already?
-She's going in.

Shall we leave too?

-Yes. Goodness.
-Let's go.

What is it?

I just need a moment.

Our security regulation says--

I asked you to overlook
those regulations for a while.

But you'll be too noticeable this way.
It's dangerous.

If you must go out,

wear this at least.

Hold on.

Just a cap might make you stand out more.

STORE UP FOR SALE

Why? Is the business doing poorly?

Don't even get me started.

It's absolutely terrible.

So what if we have the new president?

The economy is dried up and dying.

Gosh, I'm dying too.

What do you need?

Goodness.

Mr. President?

You didn't pick up my calls.

Yes, well…

Right, I don't pick up calls
from unknown numbers.

Are you here to take him away in secret?

That's not it.

He did nothing wrong.

He just did as he was told.

I said that wasn't the case.

I'm not here to do that. Let's talk.

What? Sure, come in.

Honey, stand back.

This way, please.

Go in.

This… You're not
going to have it, are you?

Okay, then I'll take it.

I'll gain weight if I eat this.

But it's buy one get one free.

I'd rather put on weight
than let it melt and throw it away.

Oh, what was I talking about?

My mind is all over the place.

That my wife hired you to bug me.

Yes, that's right.

But I have nothing else to say about that.

That was it.

The device was the type which you had to
collect back to check the recording.

So I taught Ms. Cha
how to use it once, and that was it.

So you've never listened to the recording?

When I first taught her,

I checked the recording with her.
Just that one time.

But not after that.

When was that?

Exactly when did she start bugging me?

It was five years ago.

Five years ago?
Not right after we got married?

Yes. It was when the news was all about

whether you'd run for president or not,

so I remember it clearly.

But I did find it a bit strange.

Five years ago,

people used the devices that allowed you
to wiretap real-time using Wi-Fi.

But she specifically asked
for an older model

which she had to retrieve
to check the recording.

I had a very hard time
getting my hands on one back then.

Was that the only job you did for her?

Yes, that was it.

Nothing else, I swear.

One more thing.

Why did you sell this information
about my wife to Candidate Bae?

I'm very sorry.

I needed more money to open this store.

My question is, why Candidate Bae?

There's the media, and you could
strike a deal directly with my wife.

Well, the media make all the noises,
but nothing actually gets done.

And Ms. Cha doesn't strike any deals
to begin with.

That's right.

You seem to know her better than I.

Pardon?

That's not the case.

I heard you were a cop.

You wrongfully lost your job
for investigating Cha Jeong-yeon.

Yes.

When he was a high schooler,
a freshman at that,

he drove unlicensed
and under the influence

and assaulted the policeman
who pulled him over.

It was a simple investigation,
and I forgot about it after some time.

But Assemblyman Cha held a grudge
against me and framed me.

He bribed a suspect and framed me
for an assault by an official.

Goodness.

After that, Assemblyman Cha visited me

to ask me to monitor his daughter
so she wouldn't end up like Jeong-yeon.

That was

when Ms. Cha had just enrolled
in middle school.

Yes, it was since then.

Since then, you've kept an eye on her.

Since then, for a long time.

Yes. I apologize.

No, you're a perfect fit.

Sorry.

Sorry?

We've lived together for 20 years,
but I don't know her.

It's late,
but I want to know more about her.

Because I realized

that time and chances
aren't always available for you.

I need to know the truth.

The truth?

What kind of--

I want you to find out

what deal she made with President Yu
five years ago.

What?

I'll pay you handsomely.
But you must investigate in secret.

If you find any information,

pass it to me, and only me.

Okay, I understand.

By the way,

I prefer to get the payment in advance
for such investigations.

And I only accept cash.

I'll send the payment soon.

I'll leave it to you.

There's one more thing
I want you to look into.

Pardon?

As a buy one get one free.

Sure, just let me know.

Chairman Yang of Group H who was under
investigation for illegal succession was

denied of an arrest warrant.

Chairman Yang, who was detained
in Haseong Detention Center,

was released.

There he is.

How do you feel?

Any comments on the succession?

-A word for the public?
-What about the investigation?

-Just a word.
-Say something.

How do you feel?

Say something.

Chairman Yang, say something.

Thanks for your hard work.

Anything else?

-Stand back.
-Share your thought.

-What do you have to say?
-Tell us.

Chairman Yang, just a word.

Anything else?

Share your opinions.

CLOSED TODAY

I'll escort her.

This way, please.

Sis.

You came to see the paintings.

You're doing just fine.

People would talk if they saw us together.

It's quiet here at least.

And…

we aren't related by blood,
so don't call me sister.

Come on.

I'm just grateful.

It's thanks to you that I was released.

Then we should settle the bill.

I heard Hwa-jin was here.

I'm not sure.

Why did you call Choi Myeong-ju then?

"Lee Hwa-jin is here."
Didn't you need someone to tattle to me?

I knew it.

You and I think alike.

Why are you keeping her?

Because I heard you were
desperately looking for her.

From whom?

My brother-in-law
got Lee Hwa-jin discharged,

and my sister was looking for her?

Why?

There must be a reason.

Where did the patient in Room 501 go?

I found that odd,

and the doctor who saw
her blood test result reacted strangely.

Is this accurate?

So I checked the blood test result again.

I found it strange too.

Why? What was strange?

Check the blood test result.

Here.

Lee Hwa-jin

is likely pregnant.

Pregnant?

About Hwa-jin.

At first glance, I thought,
"What the heck?"

But after getting her cleaned
and dolled up,

she was a sight to behold.

My brother-in-law

has an eye for women.

Is the baby

really his?

You know I hate spoilers.

Answer me.

Well…

Go and ask her yourself.

She's waiting for you.

Let go!

I just grabbed her
to stop her from leaving,

and she suddenly passed out.

Cha Su-yeon stabbed me in the back.

I'll handle it myself.

I'll keep the party members' votes
under control

and get the ledger.

I'll do as you say.

I'll do everything you say.

Who is the father

of the baby?

Lee Hwa-jin will come forward herself.

And say the baby is yours.
