(Episode 32)

(Senior Manager Yoon Jae Gyeong)

The person you have reached is not available.

(Come on out now.)

Seon Hwa.

Why is the door open?

You're right.

Seon Hwa, are you in there?

Ms. Bong, are you in your room?

Seon Hwa.

Grandma, I'm scared.

What should I do?

What do we do about our poor Sae Byeok?

He'll spend the night alone without Mom.

My baby.

Seon Hwa.

I don't have a chance. Let's go in.

Seon Hwa.

Seon Hwa.

Seo Jun!

My bike.

What should we do? He even took your bike.

It looks like he's just a burglar.

He's going to sell my bike...

since he didn't find anything valuable at Seon Hwa's house.

Let him go. How pathetic.

Seon Hwa isn't even home. What happened to her?

Even a burglar broke into her house.

I know.

(Evidence)

This bracelet is yours, Ms. Bong, right?

Why is it here?

Yes, it's mine.

The victim was holding onto this as a dying message.

A dying message?

He was saying the owner of this bracelet was the one who killed him.

That's ridiculous.

Why would he be clutching my bracelet when he died?

I didn't even wear it today.

How would he have held it?

It was there because you are the culprit.

Look at this.

Yes. It's the same bracelet,

but there are so many other bracelets that look like mine.

It wasn't customized or something.

Are you saying this is not yours?

Yes. My bracelet is at home.

I've been keeping it to sell it.

Look for it at my house.

All right. We will.

Once NFS runs a DNA analysis,

we'll find out who it belongs to soon.

I'm glad to hear that.

Please run the analysis and reveal who it belongs to.

We can't send it to NFS for a DNA analysis today,

can we?

It's too late today. We can send it over tomorrow.

Okay. I'll leave it in the evidence room.

(Mr. Kim)

Hello. It's me.

I heard an autopsy would be done on someone at your company.

Was there really a murder?

There was indeed a murder.

I guess it already got out.

Then it's true.

What happened? Tell me the details, Sang Hyuk.

Did you catch the murderer? Who was killed?

Hey, can't you see Sang Hyuk is tired?

I know you're curious, but stop asking him.

Do you think Seon Hwa is not the culprit?

She could've wrestled with him, asking him to pay her.

You know how she picks a fight with us.

She would've gotten into a fight with Nam Ki Taek...

and pushed him when she got mad.

There are no certain people who kill in the heat of passion.

It can happen when you don't even mean it.

If Seon Hwa was actually the murderer,

what should I do about Sae Byeok?

What are you doing here this early?

If I had known you betrayed Seon Hwa,

I wouldn't even have spoken with you when you came last time.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Do you know where Seon Hwa is now?

How dare you mention her name with that filthy mouth?

What's going on?

Seon Hwa is at the police station now.

She's there for an unfortunate reason.

Please take good care of Sae Byeok until she gets back.

What unfortunate reason?

Well...

What? Seon Hwa is at the station?

What?

As the suspect of the murder at Daekook Confectionery?

Yes. I'm on my way to her now.

I'll come with you.

No. You can come later.

I'll let you know later what happened. Bye.

Why didn't you tell me?

I heard Seon Hwa was taken at the scene.

I was too busy taking care of the accident.

But should I have reported it to you?

Don't you know I've been looking after her?

Anyway, I had a lot on my plate.

Something is wrong.

She wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Jae Min.

There's already a witness and evidence.

It's certain that she's the culprit.

That's nonsense.

Even if the world ends tomorrow, she won't be the murderer.

There's no way.

They said it was voluntary manslaughter.

Whatever they call it, she would never do that.

I should get a lawyer for her.

Do you want me to do it?

No. I will.

I'll ask my friends if any of them are specialized lawyers in this.

The detectives also see it as voluntary manslaughter,

not as murder.

What is going to happen to her?

Can she get out of jail soon?

Well, even if it's seen as involuntary manslaughter,

somebody died.

So it won't be resolved easily.

What do we do? Poor Seon Hwa.

That poor soul couldn't even call us about this serious accident...

because she didn't want to worry us.

I feel so bad for her.

You know Lawyer Park specializes in murder cases.

What?

He went to the US already?

Hey, I know we haven't talked in a while, but can't you ask around for me?

Are you really my friend?

I'll trust you to get me a competent lawyer in this.

Otherwise, I'll stop calling you my friend, okay?

What? Jae Min is looking into a lawyer to save Seon Hwa?

Yes.

I can't believe this.

Why is he trying to get involved with it?

What does he have to do with Seon Hwa?

We need to find out who he appointed.

Prepare the money well.

It's a matter of life and death for me. Got it?

This is such a huge risk.

What if it doesn't go our way?

If we're caught...

I just got back from the police station.

I don't think it'll be easy for Seon Hwa.

The autopsy results are not out yet,

but they found fingerprints and evidence of her at the scene.

It seems like there's even a witness who saw her pushing him.

Jae Gyeong's wedding is just around the corner,

so let's just forget about what happened yesterday.

If we look at it simply, the crime did take place at our company.

But it has nothing to do with us.

Yes, that's right.

How can you say that?

The suspect could be framed.

Also, one of our employees died.

Didn't they catch the culprit?

It can't be her.

How can you be sure of that?

Anyhow, it's not solved yet.

They haven't caught the culprit yet.

You little...

Who are you to say so?

The legal department of our company will settle this.

(Breaking news! Yoon Jae Gyeong, daughter of Chairman Yoon, )

(is getting married to Senior Manager Moon Sang Hyuk!)

He's my fiancé.

- Is that all right? - Yes.

So you met with Nam Ki Taek frequently to discuss new products.

Other than that, do we have a reason for meeting him?

If you don't mind, can I see your wrist?

Why?

Please just show me.

Can you show me your other wrist too?

Are you treating me like a suspect?

Hold on.

Everyone around the victim is a suspect.

But how did you get hurt?

It's an allergic reaction.

I'm allergic to metal.

It's fine if it's pure gold,

but this is an 18-karat gold bracelet.

I see. Is that so?

Why are you here?

I bet you're here to see me in this state. You must feel glad.

Do you have to say that?

Then why are you here?

We have nothing to do with each other, gold digger.

You're still calling me a gold digger?

I'm here because I'm worried.

That's a first.

There's nothing for you to rip off a mother who's been called a murderer.

I'm here as a representative of Hanok Bakery. You happy now?

Do you feel better after being mean like that?

If you're happy to see me, or if you're sad,

just say so.

You should know how I feel. What is there to say?

Sae Byeok is doing fine, right?

I bet Bok Soon is so worried.

Of course.

We all know you're innocent.

You'll be out of here soon.

Don't think about anything else, all right?

Discuss with the lawyer and come out quickly.

Don't misunderstand. Hanok Bakery appointed the lawyer for you, not me.

Just get yourself ready...

and eat well while you're here.

They told me to tell you this.

Did Bok Soon say that?

Yes.

That's right.

I didn't know you had a metal allergy.

You've never told me that before.

Do I have to tell you?

I've never seen it before, either.

Actually, I'm a little allergic to metals that are not pure gold.

I didn't tell you since it's not severe.

Also, it's the first present you bought for me.

So I didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you.

All right.

Soo Chul, how is it going with the lawyer?

What? Jae Min already appointed a lawyer for her?

Who is it?

It's not someone he's close with, right?

Yes. I guess it's someone he met through a mutual friend.

I'm trying to find out more about him,

so just hold on.

And don't worry.

Okay, I got it.

I'm counting on you.

- Hi, honey. - You're going swimming today, right?

That's right. I'm getting ready now to go there.

I have an appointment nearby that hotel.

I'll give you a ride.

It's fine. I can go alone.

I just want to see my pretty wife for a while more.

Okay, then. Send the car.

Why am I doing this again to impress my ex-daughter-in-law?

If it's not for my grandchild...

Oh, Sae Byeok. My precious baby.

Goodness.

Oh, no. It's burnt!

Oh, what do I do!

Gosh.

Goodness.

What's going on here?

They're searching the house,

saying Seon Hwa killed someone.

What?

I found it!

Oh, goodness. I guess I've been around for too long.

Did you get in a fight again?

I can't believe this is happening.

Oh, goodness.

What is it?

Who is it? Who made you so mad to make you say that?

I won't let them go.

Oh, Sae Byeok... My precious little boy.

What do we do?

They say Seon Hwa murdered someone.

What are you talking about, Mom?

You've been watching too many soap operas lately.

Don't make stuff up.

Why would I make up something like that!

Seon Hwa killed someone!

Seon Hwa?

That can't be true.

She can't even kill a fly.

I saw it with my own eyes at her house!

I wanted to see Sae Byeok, but Seon Hwa wouldn't pick up my calls.

So I went over to her house with some jeon,

but the police were ransacking the house. It was a mess!

Did you get the results from the NFS?

So it is Bong Seon Hwa's bracelet.

Her DNA was found from the bracelet.

Really?

Is something bothering you?

It's nothing.

I met Yoon Jae Gyeong just a moment ago.

She was wearing the same bracelet as Bong Seon Hwa.

Unless it's customized, many people have the same bracelet.

You see, there was a scratch on her arm.

But there was no scratch on Bong Seon Hwa's arm.

The bloodstain on the victim's nail match Bong Seon Hwa's DNA too.

Do we need more evidence?

Bong Seon Hwa is the culprit.

How did it go?

A detective even checked the bracelet on my wrist.

Don't worry.

I just got a call,

and Seon Hwa's DNA was found from her bracelet.

Really?

That's such a relief.

That means Seon Hwa must be the culprit.

It looks like she'll be held in custody as soon as the arrest warrant is issued.

Good job, Soo Chul.

You know I'm counting on you, right?

Yes.

I do.

Yes, Jae Min. It's me.

They said the CCTV near the staircase on the seventh floor was broken.

Please look into it.

It's why I wanted to see you.

Sorry? You're asking me?

I can't go to the company, so you should look into it.

Why did the surveillance camera not work on that very day?

I did look into it.

They said the surveillance camera on the seventh floor often flickered.

So they turned it off to send it in for repair.

But it had to be that day, out of all days.

Something doesn't feel right.

Jae Min.

Seon Hwa is a suspect.

You're trying to help the culprit.

Don't you know one is innocent until proven guilty?

Before they are found guilty,

all suspects are presumed to be innocent.

There isn't a verdict that Seon Hwa is guilty.

I'm sorry,

but I can't help you with it.

What?

This also concerns Chairman Yoon and the company.

If the chairman finds out about what you are doing,

will he be okay with it?

But still...

There are so many surveillance cameras in the building.

They can turn off or break down sometimes.

Once you start being suspicious, everything will look strange.

You must...

think Seon Hwa is suspicious, then.

I know for sure she is the last person to do such a thing.

How could you be so sure you know her?

Everyone can make a mistake.

I wish you would opt out of this case.

You are one of Daekook Group's people.

Why are you holding me back so strongly?

Someone's life depends on it.

Yes.

I saw it.

That lady pushed the victim down the stairs.

Then, she went over to check...

if he was dead.

I was so shocked that I screamed.

It's her.

She kept harassing my husband.

She had a fight when she came to promote our store.

And she stopped all our customers from coming.

Who does she think she is...

to chase after my husband, disturbing him to pay for the promotion?

Where is that wench? I won't leave her be.

Do you think you can have a good life after killing my husband?

Please have a seat.

It's not me. I did not kill him.

Stop playing innocent.

All the witnesses have testified.

Testified?

Did they say they saw me kill him? That's ridiculous.

That's enough.

We got a DNA test with your bracelet, and it matches yours.

That's not mine.

My bracelet is in my home.

You'd know if you go and look.

Here. Take a look.

We found this at your house.

There was no bracelet in here.

How could it not be there?

My bracelet has to be in here.

Stop acting and come clean now.

How can I confess when I did not kill him?

It's not me!

Yes, Mom.

Do you know...

that Seon Hwa is the culprit of the murder that happened...

in your company?

Yes.

Did you pretend not to know it when you did?

This is no small matter.

What do we do about Sae Byeok? We have to bring him right away.

Please stay put.

How can I do that?

Our Sae Byeok might have to grow up without his mother.

Who will look after him when Seon Hwa goes to prison?

How can I possibly stay put in this state?

Please stop.

I'm at work.

I will talk to you at home.

Why did Mother give you a call?

I think she found out about what happened to Seon Hwa.

She wants you to bring Sae Byeok, doesn't she?

It's not that.

But she was worried about him.

I can never accept that.

If Mother brings Sae Byeok,

you will have to choose between her and me.

That won't happen, so don't worry about it.

What?

You want me to plead guilty?

The bracelet that the victim was clasping when he died was yours.

That's the result of the NFS.

This is conclusive evidence.

It's driving me insane.

I swear it's not mine.

Even if you say so, it will not work in your favor in court.

If you confess to your crime and reflect on it,

it can reduce your sentence considerably.

But if you keep denying, they will think you are reprehensible, so your sentence...

How can I plead guilty when I did not kill him?

We need to grasp this situation quickly.

We should think in a direction where we can reduce your sentence.

But...

How can things go this way?

I feel so wronged.

If you get sentenced to ten years in prison...

while trying to prove your innocence, who's going to take care of your child?

The custody of your child will certainly be handed over to your husband.

Or he might get sent to an orphanage.

I could never let that happen.

That's why I'm suggesting you get sentenced to three years for manslaughter.

And you can get parole within a year for good behavior.

That's the strategy we should take.

What do I do?

Grandma, what am I supposed to do?

What do I do about Sae Byeok?

I can't let him get sent to an orphanage.

Goodness. What do I do?

I...

killed him.

(The Second Husband)

The prime suspect A of the so-called D Confectionery murder case...

finally confessed to her crime.

The prosecution issued a warrant, detained, and indicted her.

Seon Hwa is Sae Byeok's mom.

Do you want the mother of my son to be a murderer?

Are you saying that about your son again?

Stop talking about your child in front of me.

Did Seon Hwa really lie? I feel a bit betrayed too.

I'm so confused.

Are you going to hire a lawyer for Seon Hwa?

Who will step in for her if not me?

I can't let Sae Byeok live under the label of a mom who's a murderer.
