Where did you get this money?

Why? Do you think I stole it?

Mom!

What's going on? What's wrong, Yu-min?

How dare you barge into my room without even knocking?

Don't worry about it and leave.

You don't care about Aunt Hwa-ran, anyway.

- How could you say that? - Hello?

Is anyone home?

Mr. Gang, it's you.

How is Se-jong doing?

Is Cha Yu-min home?

Yu-min?

Why do you ask?

Mr. Gang.

What did you say to Se-jong?

What did you do to him? He's not himself.

Did you go to see Se-jong?

I did.

Isn't he old enough to know right from wrong?

I won't tolerate him trying to mock us...

with his lies.

First you blamed my son, and now you threaten him? Why?

- Were you scared your aunt might become a suspect? - Shut your mouth!

- Yu-min! - Honey!

Stop it!

What do you think you're doing?

How could you, as adults, resort to violence like this?

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

I'm sorry, Mother and Father.

It's all my fault.

Mr. Gang.

Was I wrong to assume you were a level-headed man?

I'm sorry for showing up and causing this.

However, I think I was the one who was wrong about Jeokhyeonjae.

I thought everyone here...

were fair and honest, but I realize they're just like...

everyone else when the tables are turned against them.

I'm very disappointed.

What is this about?

I did hear that you are Se-jong's father.

Is it because we couldn't take good care Se-jong?

Is that why?

I was the one who didn't take good care of him,

because my ambitions to raise him well ended up hurting him instead.

It's a shame there was a fire at Jeokhyeonjae,

but it has nothing to do with my son.

I'm sure Se-jong wouldn't have done such a thing.

Once the police investigation is complete,

we'll find out what really happened.

I don't care who the real culprit is.

From now on, I will only trust the words of my son...

and do what I must to protect him.

Thank you for everything.

Mr. Gang!

I've never been so embarrassed!

I'm sorry.

Wait!

Mr. Gang!

I have nothing more to say. For the time being,

it's hard to see you in a good light either.

I'm sorry.

To tell you the truth,

I was in a bit of conflict.

I wasn't sure if I should suspect Aunt Hwa-ran.

I wasn’t sure what would happen to us...

if my suspicions are true.

I needed time to think.

I think I've made things more difficult for you.

The police will find out what really happened.

You don't need to worry about Se-jong.

I'll do what I have to to protect him.

Take care.

Mr. Gang!

Are you saying Mr. Gang was angry because...

you reported Se-jong as having started the fire?

That was indiscreet.

If we say the boy was playing with fire, it'll all go away quietly.

If we drag this along, it will only bring more harm to Jeokhyeonjae.

How dare a teacher bring down his pupil to save himself?

Yu-min, have you learned nothing from Jeokhyeonjae?

- Is that how I taught you? - Yes.

I used to think that what I learned from you was all there is to life.

The teachings of Confucius and Mencius...

are all great, but...

it's not enough to protect even what little pride I have!

Didn't you see the parents trying to attack us?

They're children who were raised by such parents.

What can Jeokhyeonjae do for us? You need to admit it.

Your teachings have all failed.

Yu-min, how dare you talk to your father like that?

Yu-min went to see that boy because of me?

That Mr. Gang was totally fuming when he left.

What did Yu-min do wrong?

What do you mean he did wrong?

Seriously, why are you taking his side again?

Where you touched because he called you "mom"?

Then again, it's the first time I ever heard him call you that.

He always called you Aunt Hwa-ran.

This is no time to be moved by something so trivial.

What are you going to do about my money?

Where did you get it? Shouldn't you at least tell me about it?

All this is your fault! Why did you have to look through my bag?

Your phone kept ringing.

I thought that loan shark might kidnap me again for not answering.

You fool!

- I'm scared. - Who was even calling?

"I need to see you, Aunt Hwa-ran."

Yu-min? Cha Yu-min? Yu-min...

How's your face?

He's got muscle for brains, doesn't he?

Tell me where you got this money.

It's what was left after I invested in the spa.

I'm a business woman. This kind of money isn't hard to find.

Tell me right now where you got this money.

Yu-min! Cha Yu-min! Take it easy!

Do you think I'm doing this because I trust you?

I'm restraining myself because I'll go mad if I don't.

There's really nothing to tell.

Don't be like this and just give me back the cheque.

Hwang... Hwang... Hwang Bong-cheol!

Hwangryong Group's Hwang Bong-cheol gave it to me!

Why did he give you this money? For what?

They were the reason you were in jail and had to leave the hospital!

We had a lot of damage.

It's only right for him to pay this much.

It was a consolation fee.

Do you think that makes any sense?

It's completely legitimate.

This kind of money means nothing to those people.

What's there to worry about?

I can't believe this.

Hey! Yu-min! Cha Yu-min!

Cha Yu-min! What am I going to do? Yu-min!

- Who is it? - Is Mr. Hwang Bong-cheol home?

Who should I say it is?

Tell him it's Cha Yu-min from Jeokhyeonjae.

He says he's from Jeokhyeonjae.

Just leave it be. I'll go see him.

- Don't say anything about this to my wife. - Yes, sir.

Is barging in on someone at this time what they teach at Jeokhyeonjae?

You need to explain this.

How much does he know?

Why did you give this money to my aunt?

Why are you asking me about that?

I'm sure you have an inkling.

A corporation like Hwangryong Group paid off someone like...

my aunt out of fear.

It just doesn't make sense.

It was more out of annoyance than fear.

Had I known it would cause a fuss,

I'd have handled it under standard protocol.

- I must have thought wrong. - Perhaps.

Knowing what took place between Hwangryong Group and my father,

I doubt this money could serve as any kind of consolation.

What if it's not a consolation fee?

We'll have to see about that.

I like your spirit,

but shouldn't you take this?

Your aunt, or is it your mother,

is in quite a difficult situation.

I'll take care of that myself.

Why that audacious prick.

He's just as nasty as his father.

It's me.

Have you been checking up on Jeokhyeonjae?

All right.

Make sure to put an end to this for good.

- Cha Yu-min's aunt? - Yes.

The case is being investigated as either arson or a child playing with fire.

One of the students and Mo Hwa-ran are under investigation.

Arson?

It turns out Mo Hwa-ran has quite a lot of debt with loan sharks.

All right. I'll call you again.

What a mountain of problems.

Cha Yu-min.

You'll break your back trying to solve all your family problems.

They were the reason you went to jail and had to leave the hospital!

We had so much damage.

It's a consolation fee!

What if it's not a consolation fee?

I like your spirit, but shouldn't you take this money?

It looks like your aunt, or is it your mother,

is in quite a difficult situation.

I don't have what it takes to satisfy your ambitions in life.

I'm a simple man who's happy...

as long as I can take care of my family and enjoy the simple things in life.

So don't expect anything from me.

Perhaps. We'll see about that.

That simple life is hard for some people to come by.

I suppose...

you were right, Hwang Se-Hui.

(Giseung Hospital)

(The solution to our children's mental health concerns)

(Maeum Children's Hospital)

Look, it's my amazing wife!

- Why did you drink so much? - Soon-Nam.

Soon-Nam?

Stop it and come inside. You'll wake up the others.

Soon-Nam!

What did I do that was so wrong?

Why is everyone gaining up on me?

All this too hard.

I can't seem to find a solution. What am I to do?

Huh?

Honey...

(You should consider counseling for your children in the following cases.)

What's with your face? Did you get in a fight?

Fighting at my age? I just bumped into something.

Is that another symptom of aging?

I talked to the legal team earlier.

Se-jong isn't old enough to be charged...

and there's no evidence, so it'll be closed without a charge.

That's not the problem.

Thing of how much it hurt Se-jong.

Still, dragging this along will only hurt him further.

Even if the culprit is in Jeokhyeonjae, there's no evidence to prove that.

Don't worry too much.

The police should determine the case soon enough.

I just didn't want Se-jong to be accused...

merely because of his personality.

It's a principle of Jeokhyeonjae to not be prejudiced against the children.

Stop talking about Jeokhyeonjae!

How do you expect me to not worry?

The person you're suspecting is my birth mother.

We don't know that.

- You don't have to jump to conclusions. - No.

I know she is more than capable of doing something like that.

She'd do more than start a fire for money.

- Honey... - Forget it.

I decided to not be a part of this.

I've lived as the son of a corrupt cop.

Living as the son of an arsonist is nothing.

What did you do with that money? You didn't give it back to him, did you?

Did you?

Why did you do it? I only took it because I deserve it!

How am I going to pay my debt now?

It's not like you ever listened to my advice before.

Do what you want.

Start a fire or whatever else you want. It has nothing to do with me.

What? Cha Yu-min! Hey!

Hello?

Excuse me? Who?

(Notice of Facility Closure)

What is this?

Is it saying they're going to close down our school?

Mother, where is Father?

Your father left early in the morning.

My goodness, what are we going to do about this?

First, I'll go to the school board and find out what this is about.

All right. You go do that.

Head Master, what brings you here?

- Are you all better now? - Yes.

You're not feeling any discomfort?

You're okay too, right?

The adults have done...

Se-jong a great wrong, so I came to apologize.

Please forgive Yu-min for acting out of line.

As a parent, you understand...

how it feels when one's child is in trouble.

I am the one to blame.

I am very sorry, Head Master.

I will never forget what you did to save Se-jong's life.

However, seeing one's child be unjustly blamed...

is all too painful.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Yes, Mr. Cha.

What?

A notice of closure?

Are you saying they want us to close the school because of the fire?

It's not just that.

- Then, what else is there? - There are issues related to the embezzlement case.

"You intentionally disposed of documents to conceal corruption."

"You used overly exaggerated claims in advertising your school."

"You also failed to effectively manage the facilities."

What kind of nonsense is that?

They're using whatever excuse they can.

What are we going to do now?

Is Jeokhyeonjae really going to close down?

Of course, not.

They say we can state our case at the hearing.

We must find a way to save Jeokhyeonjae.

Here are the files you asked on the Jeokhyeonjae fire and Detective Cha Ju-pyeong.

Is this all?

There's not much more than what I read in the papers.

Yes. All I could find were news reports.

At the time, one of the bookkeepers at Geunpyo Constructions died in a fire,

but it didn't have any direct connection to Hwangryong Industries.

As for Detective Cha,

Head Master Cha asked for a reinvestigation several times,

but due to the lack of evidence or witnesses,

the police stopped working on the case.

All right.

I hear there was a fire at Jeokhyeonjae.

Yes. I believe so.

Isn't it strange?

After Head Master Cha mentioned Hwangryong Group to the press,

Jeokhyeonjae's credibility has plummeted...

as if someone is trying to get back at them.

Perhaps. All I know is what is stated in the report.

- I see. That'll be all. - Yes, ma'am.

Something's not right.

Make sure to keep a close eye on her and restrict any outside visitors.

Stop trying to wrap your head around this, Yong Seon-ju!

Why did you want to see me?

Why? Did your father tell you to meet me...

and give me something?

No.

I just heard you're in a bit of a crisis...

and thought it wouldn't be right to ignore it.

I have received a lot of help from Yu-min,

and I'd like to repay him somehow.

I suppose...

Yu-min's life did start to go haywire because of your wedding.

How are you going to repay me?

I'd like to help you solve your biggest problem first.

Would that be all right?

You're saying I should charge Mo Hwa-ran the standard interest rate?

From kidnapping, unlawful detainment, assault, to threats,

- the things I could report you for will cause you a lot of trouble. - Geez.

As far as I know, there's no way Hwa-ran can pay you that money.

I'm telling you to take what you can and settle this.

Fine. Instead, I get to set the deadline.

You have a week. If she can't pay within that time,

you should be prepared for the worst, Doctor.

I hear you have a little daughter.

Geez!

Se-jong, you've been through a lot. Try to get some rest.

Hello?

Yes?

The case is closed?

There was no confirming evidence against Gang Se-jong.

Even if the child did cause the fire, he's not old enough to be charged.

I see.

The boy's testimony did give rise to some issues,

but arson is hard to prove from lack of evidence.

I understand. Thank you for all your work.

Is it common for the police to close a case so suddenly like this?

I'm not sure.

How did you manage to close the case so quickly?

In any case, thank you.

- It's nothing. I'll see you again soon. - All right, then.

She really is a catch.

Maybe I should have asked her to solve my debt first.

Cha Yu-min, if you can't come to me because of your family problems,

I will get rid of them, one by one.

I won't be as fun if you come to me...

all broken and tattered.

It looks like you left Giseung Hospital.

I'm sorry, but you are not eligible for a loan at this time.

Hello, Professor. This is Cha Yu-min.

About my friend at Jeokhyeonjae I mentioned...

There's something I need to help her with.

What are you, Jeokhyeonjae's rescue team?

What is it this time?

I hear they got a notice of closure due to the recent fire and whatnot.

They might have to close down,

so I have to help prepare her testimony for the hearing.

You really are multi-talented, aren't you?

Did you say that friend is the deputy head master?

Yes. She's Oh Soon-Nam, their daughter-in-law.

- Daughter-in-law? - Yes.

She is a real salt of the earth kind of girl.

She takes care of her in-laws, looks after her husband,

raises her child, and even teaches the students meticulously.

If I was born a man, I'd marry her.

I got it. Take a day off or do whatever you like.

Does that mean I can take the day off or not?

Yes, I'll take care of this myself.

Oh Soon-Nam?

Cha Yu-min's wife?

You want to work for our school?

Yes. If that position you mentioned before...

is still available, I'd like to take the job.

With your credentials, you'd be a top hire.

However, there's more to this than just your credentials.

There's also the matter of ethics.

I'll be put in a tough spot.

I hope you understand.

- It looks like you have a guest. - He's leaving now. Come on in.

Why do you look so thin?

My favorite dog...

dared to bite me, you see.

That's too bad. You don't want it to become a habit.

You're right.

I hope he doesn't end up dead after having to wander the streets.

- Who am I? I'm Gi Seung-jae! - That's right!

Hello, married man.

Cha Yu-min, our married man.

How have you been?

What do you want?

I hear your wife...

is the deputy head master at Jeokhyeonjae.

It must be nice...

to have such a respectable wife.

- I don't talk to drunks. - Is it that hard?

Is it that hard for you...

to come to me?

If you're drunk, go home and rest.

Hello?

Cha Yu-min!

How dare you do this to me?

(Jeokhyeonjae)

Why are they cleaning so late?

Ms. Hwang!

What are you doing here?

I'm here to meet Cha Yu-min.

Where is he?

Get inside!

Shush! Shush!

Shush!

- Why are you coming out of my room? - You need to tell me the truth.

Is there really nothing between you and Director Hwang?

Stop talking nonsense.

She's in there.

Hwang Se-Hui is in your room!

You're home?

Why are you so startled?

Aren't you going to make dinner? My blood-sugar levels are dropping!

All right. I'll get to it.

What are you doing here?

You're home!

I'm sorry!

I don't know how I got here.

You better lower your voice!

Coward!

Why?

It's not like there's anything between us.

Is there something you want to hide?

Hwang Se-Hui!

("Teacher Oh Soon-Nam")

Are you pushing me away because you can't give that up?

You can be more selfish. I'm yours for the taking.

- Where have you been? - A college friend wanted to see me.

A college friend? Are you sure?

I am Yong Seong-ju from Hwangryong Group.

My brother met an employee from Hwangryong Industries.

I believe that employee is CEO Hwang Bong-cheol.

Honey! Jun-yeong is missing.

- How dare you! - Your daughter is quite a cutie.

If you even touch her, I'll end you!
