Prosecutor,

this is all because of Kim Sang Ho.

I lost my leg...

because of him.

Kim Sang Ho...

Bring him to me.

Please...

Let me be the one to end his life.

Ms Shin. Ms Shin.

Stop this!

That's it. Let's tie her down.

Sure.

Hold her tight.

Now that we've eliminated the threat,

it's time to restore our good name.

If you know a way to do so,

please feel free to share.

I have news that can certainly ease things.

This project will...

counter the recipe that Sang Ho sold to Mama's.

Could you elaborate?

The research team...

discovered a major flaw in the recipe he sold.

They fixed issues with the lactic-acid...

making up for the flaws and...

at least tripled the value of the original recipe.

That's great work.

Once this product is released,

Mama's yogurt snack that they stole from us...

will be nothing but garbage if I may say so myself.

Good.

Last time, we let them steal our recipe way too easily.

Apply for a patent immediately...

and set up protocols to ensure that our precious research...

is never vulnerable again.

Yes, Sir.

Come on.

Are you still not talking?

It's like I said.

I'm only a pawn in this game...

and you have no idea how big it is.

The entire financial world is at stake.

This again?

You're not only cruel, but also a pathological liar.

Are you seriously trying to threaten us?

I did no such thing.

If what you say is a lie,

I'll add false accusation and...

obstruction of justice to your charges...

making sure you get life without parole.

I'm done talking.

I want to know every bribe Kim Sang Ho took...

regardless of how small or big it is.

Mr Choi and Mr Hwang,

if you ever covered up anything please let me know.

I'd like you two to form a list.

- Yes, Sir. - Sure.

Judging by how he acted around the office,

I'm sure he took quite a few bribes.

I received an anonymous letter regarding...

the millions he received from the annex cleaning service.

I'm aware of a few of that same scale.

Let me know all of them.

We're going to sue him for every last malicious act.

It's how we'll win back our employees' trusts.

I'm aware of a few incidents too.

I see.

Well, we'll talk in private later.

Excuse me. Does Mr Jang Han Sol live here?

- Yes, he does. - He has a delivery.

I see. Kyung Soon!

Bok Soon, did you call for me?

It's a delivery.

Who sent these?

Mr Jang Dae Pal.

Jang Dae Pal?

Jang Dae Pal?

Isn't that Han Sol's dad?

- Have a good day then. - Thank you so much.

My gosh.

What is all this?

I'm nervous just from hearing his name.

I can't believe he remembered this address.

Anyway, go ahead and open them up.

Sure.

Oh my.

There's meat, fruit and cosmetics.

Look at this. He sent clothes too.

Kyung Soo, this is unbelievable.

Dae Pal must've earned a lot of money.

I'm scared out of my mind.

Why on earth did he send all of this?

Where has he been all these years...

and why did he suddenly send us these?

Maybe he wants to get back together.

He's out of his mind if he thought these would win me back.

My life has been peaceful,

so why did he have to disrupt it?

With age came maturity which is why he now wants to be with his family.

If he happens to come by, at least hear him out.

Hurry and try it on. It looks absolutely amazing.

Gosh...

Oh my.

You look very posh.

Where on earth did he buy this anyway?

Gosh, my hands are shaking like crazy.

What's there to be nervous?

I'd be thrilled if my husband sent me gifts like this.

Don't be absurd.

He can shower me with gifts all he wants.

There's no way I'm falling for him again.

Is he still not talking?

He's still sticking to his story about only being a pawn.

How credible is he?

He's grasping, Sir.

Still, he's always been hard to read.

How's Shin Da Hee?

She need a few weeks to recover.

I hear she blames Kim Sang Ho for everything.

She's also on suicide watch.

If Kim San Ho keeps pleading the Fifth,

get a statement from her instead.

She'll sing like a canary judging by her hatred for him.

Yes, Sir.

- Let go. - You can't have it.

Geum Bang Seok,

you ruined my life.

Geum Bang Seok.

If it weren't for him...

If only I hadn't fallen for his lies,

my life wouldn't be a mess right now.

Sang Ho has been pleading the Fifth.

So I've heard.

He keeps claiming that he's only a pawn...

of a more elaborate scheme.

Even though I want to feel sorry for him,

he just doesn't make it easy.

He gobbles up his meals,

but never talks.

That jerk.

Maybe I should ask for a sit-down myself.

- With Sang Ho? - Yes.

Someone needs to tell him to stop being delusional.

That's not a good idea.

He'd only upset you by saying nasty things.

I'll talk to him instead.

- You? - Yes.

Come in.

- It's the file you asked for. - Thanks.

So how are things with Hae In?

I'm proposing to her today.

I see.

I slightly asked how she felt about you...

and it turns out that she's fond of you too.

- Really? - Yes.

I have a feeling that she'll say yes.

If she doesn't, I'll have to try again.

You still have months before the semester begins.

Isn't it too early to resign?

I'm heading out there early next year.

I found a part-time job...

looking after elementary school children.

That's great.

Anyway, I was hoping to talk to you about something.

About what?

I realised now that...

it was important to make a lot of memories before marriage.

I didn't get the chance to...

which is I already feel like I let my wife down.

I see.

Before you marry Hae In, make many memories with her.

Has Jung Hoon told you about me?

Sorry?

He said that he knew you well.

I'm...

Jung Hoon's mother.

What?

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Jung Hoon said that he wishes to propose to you.

He hasn't officially asked me yet.

I'm sorry,

but I don't approve of you as his better half.

Is there...

a particular reason?

I know all about your biological father.

Jung Hoon's father and I...

have had our own opinions about whom we'd like...

as our daughter-in-law.

I hate to say this but, you don't fit in...

with whom we had in mind.

So I'd appreciate it if you said no.

If that was the case, you should've told Jung Hoon.

My son is a stubborn boy.

Besides, I thought it'd be best for you to know...

where his parents stand.

He doesn't know yet...

that Kim Sang Ho's your biological father.

Why haven't you told him?

I didn't get the chance to,

but I was thinking about telling him soon.

Make sure to tell him that...

and please turn down his marriage proposal.

That...

I can't promise.

What?

I'm sorry.

My gosh. What a cheeky girl.

I knew she was sassy,

but I didn't think she'd be inconsiderate.

Even if it were Ah Young,

I would've been against this marriage.

Why Kim Sang Ho's illegitimate daughter of all people?

You know, this isn't a boardinghouse.

But yet you're off to see the prosecutor every day.

I bet that he's trying to talk his way out of his charges.

Believe me, I know his type.

That's not the case.

As if.

Now clean the toilet.

I don't know how it's done.

Back when we were in high school,

he'd skip out on daily cleaning duties.

Just because he had good grades,

our teacher never told him off...

nor tried to force him into doing it.

He was able to get away with everything.

That's not the case here though.

Inside you'll find a mop and a brush.

Make sure it's spotless, all right?

If it isn't, I'll make you do it again.

Out of everyone who shows up here,

I hate those who come in for...

fraud, embezzlement and bribery.

Burglary and battery is nothing compared to that.

Even as a kid, he was always scheming.

He'd take advantage of sweet innocent girls too.

I don't know why, but I just want to punch him.

Come in.

Ma'am, did you hear about Ms Shin?

Did something else happen?

Yes, I asked someone I know at the hospital.

Ever since she found out about her leg,

she's been threatening to kill herself.

Of course she's in shock.

It literally happened overnight.

I can't believe that this happened to her.

Why on earth did she bite off more than she could chew?

She should've applied the brakes,

but unfortunately she got too involved.

I know.

- I'm home. - There you are.

I was just on the phone with the chief prosecutor.

He promised to let us see Sang Ho...

the next time they question him.

That's great.

I've been digging up every one of Sang Ho's bribes...

to sue him for the damage he's caused.

Good.

It's up to us to show him what he did wrong.

Of course.

I know all about your biological father.

Jung Hoon's father and I...

have had our own opinions about whom we'd like...

as our daughter-in-law.

Your interview ended the moment you stepped inside.

You lost your chance when you threw that rag at my face.

Kids who were raised by single mothers...

tend to lack wisdom.

Resigning is the right choice.

It was a terrible experience...

getting to know my father.

I'm not your father.

A man once so ferocious...

is now nothing but a criminal.

Hi, Jung Hoon.

I'll be five minutes late today.

It's okay.

I made a special song request so I hope you enjoy it.

What?

I have a special song request from Mr Kim Jung Hoon.

This is his letter to Ms Lee Hae In.

"Hae In,"

"from the moment I met you,"

"I knew that you were the one for me."

"From day one,"

"you never once disappointed me."

"Now I want to make this official."

"Please marry me."

That's so romantic.

To further show her how much she means to him,

he requested this song. It's "I Love You" by Lee Jae Hoon.

That reminds me.

The annex remodelling will be done next week.

That soon?

I put a rush on it.

Once it's finished and has been vented,

your mother and Hae In can move in.

I thought it'd be this spring.

Isn't Hae In going abroad this spring?

It's best if she stays with us before she goes.

Of course. Thank you.

I'm the one who's grateful for the added company.

I have a feeling we'll have a warm winter this year.

You're right. The kids will be thrilled too.

- Right. - Of course.

What was that?

Did you like my marriage proposal?

I did.

I guess...

we just need to set a date then.

Did you talk this over with your parents?

I was hoping to get your answer first.

Please turn down his marriage proposal.

I...

say yes.

But only...

if your parents approve.

That wouldn't be a problem.

Tell your mother...

that I'd love to marry you.

No, that I will marry you.

Tell her that before you ask for her approval.

I will, so don't worry.

There's something else...

I need to tell you.

What is it?

I'm grateful for your father's generosity.

The house is too big for just our family anyway.

At least 20 people could live here.

Now you're overreaching.

My mum hasn't actually agreed to move in yet.

She'll get to see me every day,

so why would she say no?

This way, we'll get to see Hae In more as well.

You should emphasise on that.

It's something that I truly want.

This is great.

We should take care of your mother anyway.

Thank you for saying that.

You should know...

about my biological father.

Didn't you say that he was long gone?

My biological father...

is Geum Bang Seok.

You know him as...

Kim Sang Ho.

What?

I'm sick to say this,

but I'm his daughter.

The daughter he abandoned before birth.

I had no idea.

It's why he was so mean to me.

My existence threw him off...

and he didn't approve of who I'd become.

I knew something wasn't right.

Do you know someone named Geum Bang Seok?

I haven't heard that name before.

There's a paper he wrote in Director Kim's office.

Could you borrow it for me?

This is Lee Hae In.

Okay, now leave.

I look forward to working with you.

Why would you look forward to that?

Why dig up this unpleasant incident?

Who gave you the authority to do so?

You mentioned your father on your cover letter.

Do you have fond memories of him?

Not at all.

Not at all? I see.

Has the absence of a father lead to problems socialising...

or hindered your ability to understand male grown-ups?

He was especially hard on you during the interview.

Back then,

he wasn't aware of our biological connection.

Still, he was incredibly mean.

Are you okay with all of this?

Of course. What does that matter anyway?

Don't worry about it.

I'll make sure that my parents approve.

Don't be too disappointed even if your mother doesn't.

Why do you keep saying that?

Hang on.

What's all this?

You came here to hide from the gifts?

Put the meat in the fridge and polish off the fruits.

Maybe I should eat them instead.

Where on earth...

did he find the money?

I just don't get it.

I'm sure they weren't stolen, so don't worry too much.

That reminds me.

I saw persimmons earlier. Could I have one?

I'm suddenly craving for something sweet.

Hop on over.

That's some good quality meat.

When did you get home?

Mum, this is divine. Where did you buy it?

I can't believe you're eating this.

The persimmon is incredibly sweet too.

Oh no. Now I can't even return them.

Hi, Eun Hee.

The annex remodelling is almost done.

Really?

Are you sure it's okay for us to move in?

Let me.

Mother, you can move in next week.

Okay, I'll discuss it with Hae In.

We won't take no for an answer. You'll find it very warm.

All right.

Thank you so much.

My sweet Min Soo.

Hang on.

What should I do with this house then?

What?

That's why I plan to return every last item.

Why would you send back a father's gift to his son?

We should eat everything he sent.

You had me worried there.

Hang on. Does this mean that Dad's somewhere near in Seoul?

Probably.

I thought he was in China or somewhere in Vietnam.

Finally, I'll meet my father.

I can't wait.

This is so good.

Unbelievable.

I need to get out of here.

I'd rather die than spend another day in this dump.

It's morning already? But I barely slept.

Darn.

Mi Jung and I agreed to watch that movie this weekend.

You should join us.

Stop dragging your feet...

and tell her how you feel.

If you wait too long, it might ruin your friendship with her.

You can do it.

Sun Young...

is now a single woman.

Yes, you can do this.

Ms Shin.

Who are you?

I'm Park Kyung Soo of the Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

- I see. - I know you're in shock.

What will happen to me now?

The chief prosecutor has arranged for you...

to receive medical care until you recover.

In addition, we have decided to come to you for questioning.

Ask away.

I'll tell you everything I know about Kim Sang Ho.

The key is to...

conserve water while washing them clean.

Don't splash around either.

You're saying that...

SD Corporation is a paper company Mr Kim established...

in order to stash the embezzled money.

That's right. It includes all the kickbacks too.

Bribes he received...

in terms of employment and others...

went into its account too.

He's the one who owns every single penny.

I was just an errand girl who did...

as she was told.

I see.

Do you swear to say exactly that in court?

Of course.

Mr Oh.

I was in the neighbourhood, so I came by.

I see.

You should start working out again in the mornings.

I was thinking about heading out tomorrow.

Working out is all about the consistency.

You seem to lack certain muscles.

You're right.

I haven't worked out in a while.

Starting tomorrow I'll be your personal trainer...

if you're up for the challenge.

- Really? - Yes.

I'll see you tomorrow at the gym then.

Of course.

Is that what you came by to tell me though?

What?

I'll get going then.

You should stay for tea.

No, I'm good. I was on my way somewhere anyway.

Right. Well, I'll see you then.

See you tomorrow.

I came by because I missed her,

but I just couldn't say it.

Kim Sang Ho,

it's time you dropped the act.

You should now cooperate.

We already have Ms Shin's statement.

Once we present that to a judge,

remaining silent won't work any more.

Actually,

pleading the Fifth will do you more harm than good.

Da Hee wouldn't have talked.

You're playing me.

You really are delusional, aren't you?

Da Hee would never testify against me.

I want to see her in person and ask myself.

Ms Shin is highly sensitive due to her leg amputation.

She already blames you for everything that went wrong.

You're not her biggest fan right now,

so are you sure you can take her wrath?

Yes.

Fine. I'll arrange for you to meet Ms Shin.

I just hope that you're prepared to talk afterwards.

I'll talk.

You really are annoying, you know that?

Yes, Sir.

Ms Shin,

I hope you're up for a talk with Kim Sang Ho tomorrow.

What is it about?

He's claiming that you'd never testify against him...

and that we made it up.

Bring him to me.

Once and for all, I'll peel off his mask...

and reveal the fraud underneath.
