(Episode 98)

How did it go?

Luckily, I can take care of the CCTV footage.

I'll start securing the area right away,

so go to his room and finish him off.

The caregiver is on a break, so no one will be there.

He's on a respirator,

so it'll be easy if you just handle that.

Can I really trust you?

I should be the one asking you that.

You couldn't even finish off Baek Jin Ju or Deputy Chief Yun.

But that's...

If Deputy Chief Yun wakes up, Hyun Jun's life will be ruined.

And so will yours.

Our lives depend on covering this up completely,

so quit doubting me and get moving.

All right.

Just make sure you take care of the CCTV.

If Choi Yu Na gets pinned for killing Deputy Chief Yun,

then even if I'm the one who secretly finishes him off,

she takes the fall.

Either way, I win.

Choi Yu Na.

I guess I won't be seeing you again.

You should've just died then and there.

Why did you have to wake up and cause so much trouble?

Now that I've made Park Hyun Jun the chairman,

I need to marry him soon.

So stop causing me trouble...

and just die already.

This time, I won't make any mistakes.

I'll finish you off in one go.

Choi Yu Na.

How are you two here?

Choi Yu Na.

We heard your confession loud and clear.

What?

It can't be...

That's right.

It was a trap,

and you're not getting away this time.

This can't be happening.

Remember what you said to Jin Ju at the shareholders' meeting?

"Even so,"

"how could you try to kill someone?"

Park Min Jun.

There's no way you're getting away with this.

This time,

nobody's coming to save you.

As long as we have the slush fund ledger,

Assemblyman Kwon has no choice.

Now that I'm the chairman,

if you give me the safe's code like you promised,

I'll get the ledger and go meet him.

We need to wrap this up before the investigation gets out of hand.

He said he would hand over the slush fund ledger,

but is he having second thoughts now that it's time?

I have to use this chance...

to get the slush fund ledger.

That's the only way I'll have any power.

Why do you keep following me around?

I told you I'd talk some sense into you.

If once isn't enough, I'll try twice, three times.

I'll make you understand and persuade you.

Choi Yu Na...

was arrested.

Baek Jin Ju will be cleared of all charges and released.

So go to her now,

apologize, and be with her.

I'm staying out of Baek Jin Ju's business.

So you should stay out of mine.

This way, you'll lose the one you love...

and regret it for the rest of your life.

You won't be able to turn back from this path,

and you'll live in shame, just like me.

Like you said,

you shouldn't live like I did.

You...

have to live a happy and respectable life.

As your father, that's what I want for you.

Let go of me! This is a setup. I've been framed.

Let go.

Oh my.

Choi Yu Na really got arrested.

That's right.

Everything went according to plan.

Then, as per our deal,

you'll keep quiet about Hyun Jun's secret.

Don't worry. I'll keep my word.

Now I can finally rest easy.

How is Deputy Chief Yun?

- That's none of your business. - None of my business?

You brat.

The police will be guarding Deputy Chief Yun's hospital room.

Just in case...

something dangerous happens.

I wouldn't get any funny ideas.

What did I do to deserve this?

In any case, our deal is done. So just keep your promise.

It seems like this is all over, doesn't it?

Yes.

Right. Then let's go see Jin Ju.

Sure.

It was always going to end like this.

No matter how hard you try to hide it,

the truth always comes out.

Don't think you've won.

Park Hyun Jun and I are set to be married.

Once the Adele Group gets involved, I'll be out of here in no time.

Do you really think that?

Or...

are you just putting on a brave face?

Just you watch.

The Adele Group can't just abandon me.

Do you know what I gave up for the chairman?

I made Park Hyun Jun the chairman with my own two hands.

You still don't get it, do you?

You've...

already been abandoned.

Shut it!

You'll see soon enough.

Baek Jin Ju. Just wait.

I'll prove to you...

that I'm one of the Adele Group's people.

- Jin Ju! - Jin Ju.

You were all so worried, weren't you?

All that matters is that you're out now.

Exactly, you've been through a lot.

I know how hard you all worked for me.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it. It's the natural thing to do.

We're a team, after all.

Right. Nothing like this will ever happen again.

Oh, right.

Here. Hurry and eat this.

When you're released from police custody,

you're supposed to eat tofu.

They say it'll keep you from coming back.

I grilled each piece with love, so please, eat up.

You shouldn't have.

Thank you.

For her, it's the least I could do.

Go on, dig in.

I'll enjoy.

No.

There's no way I was just thrown away like this.

There's no way you're getting away with this.

This time,

nobody's coming to save you.

You've already been abandoned.

I've already been abandoned?

Already?

It can't be.

Did Oh Jung Ran team up with them...

to lead me into a trap?

I'm not saying anything.

Contact the Adele Group and tell them to send me a lawyer.

Oh Jung Ran...

No.

Let me see Chairman Park Tae Ho.

Why are you asking for them here?

Are they involved in this case too?

I told you, I'm not saying anything.

Here.

Do you have any proof I did it?

Like you can do anything without any evidence.

The police said Baek Jin Ju's prints were on the hammer.

The person who tried to kill Deputy Chief Yun was Baek Jin Ju.

You've got some explaining to do about this.

What about it?

The hammer.

You knew exactly what the weapon was.

How so?

We never released that information.

Ms. Choi Yu Na.

Tell us the truth.

Should I meet with Assemblyman Kwon and threaten him again?

Or should I give the slush fund ledger to Hyun Jun?

Considering the police investigation,

Hyun Jun has a point.

Still,

something about it...

just doesn't feel right.

Honey.

You haven't heard the news, have you?

What news?

Choi Yu Na has been arrested.

She was caught trying to take out Deputy Chief Yun.

What?

What did you just say?

Those two, Kim Dan Hui and Park Min Jun,

must've set a trap and waited for her.

What? Honestly!

She's completely useless.

But still, it's not like this will affect us.

There's no proof we ordered her to do it.

Even without proof, it could make them more suspicious.

- Suspicious about what? - The detectives came to see me,

asking if anything was going on with Deputy Chief Yun.

That happened?

If they find another reason to bother us because of Choi Yu Na,

it'll be a hassle.

Darn it.

You.

You were right.

I need to clean up this police investigation.

Set a meeting with Assemblyman Kwon.

Sure. Then...

what about the slush fund ledger?

I'll handle this particular deal myself.

As for the slush fund ledger,

I'll hand it over after the inauguration ceremony,

so wait until then.

Choi Yu Na was arrested over the issue with Deputy Chief Yun.

- I know. - Will her arrest...

put us back on the police's radar?

Enough that we need Assemblyman Kwon's help?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

If we get Assemblyman Kwon involved,

we could end this just by burning Choi Yu Na.

I wish I hadn't nagged him about being a picky eater.

If I'd known he'd leave us so suddenly,

I would've made him all the meat dishes he loved.

Why is it that my only child would rather be anywhere but home?

Maybe it's because of a bad dream,

but my mood's been all over the place all morning.

Gosh, goodness.

Jin Ju, oh my.

Were you released from police custody?

Yes, Ms. Hong.

That's such a relief.

I'm so glad things worked out.

I knew you would never do something like that.

But how did you get out?

They caught the real culprit.

The real culprit?

What kind of lowlife punk would frame you like that?

I swear, I'll tear that scum limb from limb...

What?

It was Yu Na, Ms. Hong.

What?

What do you mean...

it was...

Yu Na?

The person who actually tried to kill...

Deputy Chief Yun...

was Yu Na.

My gosh.

My Yu Na...

Wait. My Yu Na?

You asked me to look after her,

and I'm sorry.

Yu Na...

I think she's gone too far.

What am I going to do?

Ms. Hong.

- This way. - Oh my goodness.

What is happening? Oh my.

Sam Sik, what am I supposed to do?

I'll get you some water.

Wait.

So, where is my Yu Na now?

Goodness. Yu Na!

Mom, help me. Get me out of here.

Look at the state you're in.

Did you really try to kill someone again?

Isn't it enough that you hurt CEO Baek and Jin Ju?

What other monstrous thing did you do?

I'll explain everything when I get out.

First, just help me get out of here.

What am I going to do with you?

Go to Oh Jung Ran right now and tell her to get me out.

Tell her if she leaves me in here,

I'll expose her secret.

Her secret?

She'll know what it means if you just say that.

Hurry up and threaten her. Hurry!

Oh, honestly.

What? My secret?

That's right.

If you don't get Yu Na out of there,

she's going to reveal that secret or whatever it is.

If you catch her drift, you'd better get moving.

And did you happen to hear what this secret is?

Well, it's...

I don't know what kind of secret it is,

but I can tell it's extremely important to you.

Anyway, Yu Na knows all about it.

So you have to do whatever it takes to get my daughter out.

In other words, you're clueless.

That's a relief.

(Bit Life President, Oh Jung Ran)

It's for the best...

that you never find out what it is.

And go tell Choi Yu Na this.

If she runs her mouth,

her attempted murder will end up as a murder charge.

If she doesn't want to meet a nasty end in prison,

tell her to shut her mouth and lay low.

- Wait. - What are you doing?

Please.

Just help her this one time.

I...

I'll make sure Yu Na keeps her mouth shut,

so please...

Please help her, just this once.

I'm begging you.

Please get Yu Na out.

It's not like we forced her to try and kill him.

She went out of her way...

and got caught while trying to kill someone.

Why come to me to get her out?

Get your own daughter out yourself.

Wait.

What's going to happen to my daughter?

It seems like there's no way out now.

What do I do about this? Oh dear.

Jin Ju.

Can we talk?

Ms. Hong.

My goodness, Jin Ju.

You said you were going to see Yu Na.

What are you doing here?

Yu Na told me to come,

so I came, clutching at straws.

But it's hopeless.

What am I going to do about her now?

No matter how much I think about it,

you're the only one I can turn to for help.

Please, Jin Ju.

Couldn't you please get Yu Na out of there?

Wait. What on earth am I saying?

Yu Na's the reason...

you went through that ordeal with the police.

Goodness. I'm just so desperate that I was just saying things.

You should go home now. I'll take you.

Okay.

If only Yu Na...

were as thoughtful as you are.

I'm sorry, Jin Ju.

I'm sorry I didn't raise her better.

Let's go.

Okay.

The police investigation has gotten a bit complicated.

Please give Assemblyman Kwon a message.

Assemblyman Kwon?

Assemblyman Kwon?

Yes. It looks like Park Tae Ho...

is trying to meet with Assemblyman Kwon again.

He was already anxious about the police investigation,

and now that Choi Yu Na has been arrested,

he must be getting nervous.

If he blackmails him with the slush fund ledger again,

the police investigation will be blocked again.

We have to stop it somehow.

I have to get to Assemblyman Kwon before Park Tae Ho does.

Are you going to try to persuade Assemblyman Kwon?

I'm going to use Assemblyman Kwon...

to try and get the slush fund ledger.

The slush fund ledger?

Should I call you Kim Myung Hui, or Kim Dan Hui?

What did you want to talk about...

that you had to pull your Ihwachae connections...

to get me here?

You're being blackmailed by Park Tae Ho, aren't you?

He's holding his ledger over your head.

If you let him lead you around, it'll get in my way.

Lead me around? What do you take me for?

He probably reached out to meet you again.

He wants you to stop the police investigation.

So why not use this opportunity...

to cut ties with Park Tae Ho?

Cut ties with him?

If you're interested, I could give you some advice.

What? What did you just say?

Assemblyman Kwon is making demands?

Yes.

He'll make sure the police investigation...

ends with Choi Yu Na,

but you have to bring the slush fund ledger...

and let him erase his name from it.

He wants to watch you do it himself.

He doesn't want to be blackmailed over the slush fund ledger anymore,

and this is going to be the last time.

That's what I think he's getting at.

He's taken countless sums of money from me,

and now he says this is the last time he'll help me?

That shameless geezer.

So are you going to refuse?

Either way, you can't just leave the investigation as is.

We don't know what Choi Yu Na might say.

And it's not like he's the only one in the slush fund ledger.

We'll just use Assemblyman Kwon one last time.

All right.

Set up a meeting for tonight immediately.

I heard from Min Jun.

He said Assemblyman Kwon and Park Tae Ho met.

Okay. Let's get going too.

Let's move. It's been a while since I've seen some action.

Never mind that. You need to lay low.

The main thing for you two today is not getting caught.

Don't worry. I'm much quicker than I look.

- Let's go. - Boss, are you heading out again?

Na Yeon, can you handle closing up again today?

As long as you're paying me double, of course.

- Okay. Let's go. - All right, let's move.

Mrs. Han.

Park Tae Ho's at the meeting with the slush fund ledger.

Yes.

Please have everything ready like I asked.

What about my demand?

I brought it right here.

If you make the call to the police,

we'll delete your records right here and now.

Then let me take a look first.

Here.

Can I trust that there are no copies?

Assemblyman Kwon,

I'm Park Tae Ho of Adele Group.

I don't stoop to such dirty tricks.

Blackmailing someone with a ledger like this...

is a dirty trick in itself.

Seriously? Assemblyman Kwon!

Now that you've verified it, please make the call.

Hey, it's me.

Proceed as planned.

- What? - What's going on?

What is this?

Assemblyman Kwon, you scumbag!

How dare you stab me in the back and go after the ledger?

You're the one who stabbed me in the back.

You told me not to worry when you gave me the money,

but then you kept a ledger to blackmail me?

Do you think a threat like this would make me bend to your will?

Let go of me. Hey. Get in here, now!

Let go. How dare you?

Let go of it!

What?

You little...

Let go, darn it!

- How dare you stab me in the back? - Let go!

Give it here.

Let go.

- Let go! - I said let go.

You ungrateful fool!

What the...

Hey, what is this?

Let go. This...

- What? - What was that?

Where did it go?

What? Don't just stand there.

- Get him now, you punks! - Get him!

What the heck is this?

You just wait. You son of a...

Why you...

Park Min Jun!

What?

Hey, go after him now!

You have to stop him from handing over the ledger.

Stop him. Hurry.

Hurry!

Don't just stand there!

Park Min Jun!

It's game over.

- Min Jun. - Hey.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

Let's go.

What?

I'm not the one with the ledger.

Honestly.

Darn it. Why isn't Hyun Jun answering his phone?

Why would you make our Hyun Jun do something so dangerous?

Is this really the time to argue about that?

We're done for if we lose that ledger.

- Father! - Hyun Jun.

Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?

The ledger? What happened to the ledger?

Father, did you see anyone else in the restaurant or the parking lot?

What are you talking about?

Park Min Jun wasn't the one who had the ledger.

He didn't have it.

What? What did you just say?

What? Hold on.

Wait, who are you people?

We're from the Prosecutors' Office.

We're here to execute a search and seizure warrant.

A search and seizure?

This is regarding a violation of the Act...

on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes...

and charges of bribery.

So this is about the slush fund?

Yes, we've already secured the ledger.

So please cooperate. All right, let's begin!

What? Hey, where are you going?

Where do you think you're going? Look here.

Cut this out right now!

What?

These punks... Hey!

Darn them.

Hyun Jun, hey!

What on earth just happened?

Park Min Jun tricked us.

He got someone else to hand the ledger over to the prosecution.

I think him trying to run was just to buy time.

Park Min Jun...

Then what's going to happen now?

What about the company?

(Pearl in Red)

Kim Dan Hui.

You stole the slush fund ledger and gave it to the prosecution?

There's nothing you can use anymore.

That dirty money that protected you,

and the power you had, are all gone.

Park Tae Ho will have a hard time getting out of this.

We'll use this chance to take over his stocks and assets.

Whatever your plan is, it won't go your way.

There's no escaping the law this time.

See how far you can push this.

Whether Chairman Park Tae Ho...

ends up dragged off by the prosecution or not,

I'd like to see that for myself.
