(Episode 20)

Please don't kill me.

- Please don't kill me. - Soon Young. It's me.

Soon Young.

It was definitely that wench Soon Young.

Darn it.

Yes, Chairman Kang?

Oh, yes. I just dropped off Ms. Eun.

Yes. All right. I'm on my way.

Darn it.

Soon Young. You're okay now.

It was Ma Dae Geun.

That viper caught a glimpse of me.

It's only a matter of time before he finds me.

Soon Young.

Goodness.

I was so relieved to meet you after all those years.

But that was a bolt out of the blue.

I should leave this place.

You're in danger too, Ba Ram.

Come with me.

Soon Young. If we run away now,

we will have to forever.

Then what are you suggesting we do?

Trust me and wait a bit longer.

I will protect you with all I have.

How many housekeepers have quit until now?

At least the most recent one lasted for a while.

There must be a reason the housekeepers quit within a month.

What reason?

Well, listen.

You and Ms. Park fight like cats and dogs.

One should keep your temper in check. Only then will the housekeeper...

- What? - What are those?

Today's breakfast...

is our store's two most popular menus.

What? Are you telling us to eat these for breakfast?

Why not? Ms. An quit, so we're in a crisis.

We should be grateful to have these.

- What about rice? - Right, rice.

You didn't prepare any, In Soon?

You should've brought some.

Use your head, will you?

You told me to bring these early in the morning, so I did.

But what? Rice? I don't care anymore.

Oh, dear.

Goodness gracious.

Do you want us to eat this without rice?

What were you thinking?

You know that Mother needs to have rice for breakfast.

That darn rice!

One meal without rice won't kill you.

Eat the jjimdak instead.

That is ridiculous of you to say.

If you're going to tear up people's clothes and also mine,

you're going to need your strength.

Have the jjimdak.

Gosh.

Sorry, Mother. You're unbelievable.

Gosh, Baek San.

You have to leave without eating breakfast. I'm worried.

He won't die because he skipped one meal.

Also, he's not the type of person to starve.

There are so many places he could go and eat.

Worried, my foot.

Hey.

Go to CEO Jung today and formally apologize.

Say that you're sorry for canceling your plans with her...

and that you didn't think things through.

Shouldn't you be the one apologizing?

Oh, my. Why should I?

You're the one who made this mess. Why should I?

You're the one who canceled on her, so you need to go see her personally.

Otherwise, I'd feel too bad to see her.

We might become in-laws.

We should be polite.

So this is all for Tae Poong's sake.

Why are you being so negative?

What did you say last time?

You said you cared about Le Blanc's public image.

So go and make Le Blanc look good.

After I decide...

whether this is for Tae Poong or for Le Blanc.

What?

Hey.

So are you going to apologize or not?

Oh, goodness.

(Personal Details Report)

(Ma Dae Geun, September 22, 1965)

(1988 to 2010: Worked as a police officer)

(2011 to 2022: Currently running a detective agency)

(Crimes committed: gambling, coercion, forgery, obstruction of business)

I looked into Ma Dae Geun's personal information.

Gambling to fraud...

He was even more pathetic than we thought.

The detective agency he runs...

takes on any dirty job as long as he gets paid.

Fraud, gambling...

He's a repeat offender.

Why does Chairman Kang keep someone like this by his side?

They've known each other for a long time since Byeolha-ri.

Ma Dae Geun could've proactively approached him.

You trust Chairman Kang, right?

He's a special person to me.

I want to trust Chairman Kang more than someone like Ma Dae Geun,

but I still need to make sure.

In order to protect Soon Young,

I need to cut Ma Dae Geun's ties with his powerful supporters.

We won't be able to find who ordered him to do so...

unless we break up their relationship.

But I'm sure Chairman Kang already knows all of this information.

That means this information won't help.

I'm sure there's something.

We need some time to find another way.

Soon Young. Are you feeling better?

I'll find a way, so don't worry.

Okay. I'll come by later.

Just wait a little bit.

Why are you ignoring me?

I didn't ignore you.

What are you talking about? You definitely...

Okay. Let's say you didn't.

By the way, what are you so concerned about?

Concerned? It's nothing.

You always say it's nothing.

At least hide it well.

You have "concerned"...

written all over your face.

Do you only care about your own pride?

What?

You came with me when I went to find my sister and saw all of that ugliness,

but your concerns are a secret.

I didn't see any ugliness that day, Mr. Kang.

When it feels too hard to keep things to yourself,

talk to me.

I'll listen to your story at least once.

I don't like to be indebted to people.

You listened to my story.

I did?

I've never told anyone...

what I told you about my sister that day.

But after I talked to you, I felt a lot of relief.

So you should let it all out at least once.

That's allowed.

I'm glad you felt relieved.

No. I don't want to.

I don't want to move.

Oh, no. If we move,

you're going to get your own room.

You were right, Soon Young.

Some guy is looking for you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Sorry. - Wait a second.

Have you seen this person?

It was an old picture, but I recognized you right away.

It was you, the beautiful Soon Young.

Don't worry too much.

I went to all of the nearby stores and told them not to say a word.

I need to leave as soon as possible.

I'll come with you.

I'll go wherever you go.

No, it's okay.

Why would you do such a thing?

Well...

That's because...

Anyway, did you finish packing?

Finish packing?

What are you doing?

Ba Ram.

I don't have more time to waste here.

You said you'd trust me and wait.

What is this, Ms. Eun?

How do you two know each other?

Oh, she is...

my younger sister.

Your younger sister?

A close friend of mine runs an orphanage,

and we volunteered there often.

We became close,

and now she's like my younger sister.

Is there a problem?

I volunteered there because it reminded me of Ba Ram, and we met there.

I remember you mentioning that your father ran an orphanage.

Is that the place?

Yes, it is.

Wait.

When did you two get close enough...

to talk about such personal things?

How do you know everyone, Mr. Kang?

When I was young, I grew up...

with Soon Young.

Wait. Soon Young.

What is that bag?

So you're saying...

that Ma Dae Geun recognized you...

and is now looking around here for you?

Exactly.

I ran into him looking for her with a picture of her in hand.

There's nothing more to discuss.

I have to leave this place tonight.

Why should you run away because of him?

We can't run forever.

There must be another way.

No.

That's because you don't know Ma Dae Geun well.

That man tried to kill both my younger sister and Soon Young.

Right now, Soon Young's safety comes first.

Soon Young. Would you like to stay at my place for the time being?

Hiding is just a temporary solution.

We need a more permanent solution.

This is what my family is like.

They use people like Ma Dae Geun...

to do all sorts of dirty things.

So you should also leave Le Blanc before it's too late.

Run away while you have the chance.

No. I won't run away.

I'm going to protect both myself and Soon Young.

So Tae Poong,

don't blame yourself or get hurt.

It's not your fault.

If what you told me is true, that man named Ma Dae Geun...

He could be connected to your family.

But aren't you trying hard...

to right the wrongs right now?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You remind me of Ba Ram.

She was like you.

When I needed consolation,

she always said what I wanted to hear...

as if she was looking into my heart.

Isn't Soon Young's matter the most urgent at the moment?

Okay. Do you have any plans in mind?

Your words gave me a good idea.

If Ma Dae Geun is connected to your family,

we should make them cut ties first.

That means we need something to make their relationship turn sour.

Oh, that.

Did something strike you?

I saw a ledger in Ma Dae Geun's office.

At a glance, it looked like money was transferred.

My father's name was on it.

It could be a ledger with transaction details.

That means Father...

paid Ma Dae Geun to do certain jobs.

If Father had paid him to have something done in secret,

it would have been something unfathomable.

But if Father finds out there's a record,

it will be the end of Ma Dae Geun.

What are you waiting for? We need to find that ledger.

So? You couldn't visit Tae Poong's place?

No. I hated the formality,

so I wanted us to meet naturally.

But if I had thought of it in his family's shoes,

it could have been uncomfortable.

Is that so? Well, it depends on how you look at it.

Talking about his family is making me miss Tae Poong.

I was too busy at work to get in touch with him.

I'll ask him out on a date tomorrow.

Go ahead.

Tell me when the both of you have made up your mind.

Whether it's the engagement or the wedding,

I'll help you with anything.

You never disappoint me, Mom.

I'm so lucky to have you as my mom.

Me too. I'm so lucky to have you as my daughter.

- We're the best. - Yes, we are.

CEO Jung?

Oh, my. Ba Da.

Mom. She's Tae Poong's younger sister.

Hi. My name is Kang Ba Da.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jung Mo Yeon.

You look awfully familiar.

I do?

Oh, Chairman Kang said something similar.

My father did?

Yes. I met him several times by chance.

By the way, what brings you here, Ba Da?

I stopped by on my way back from a client meeting nearby.

To meet CEO Jung.

To meet me?

I wanted to apologize about the last get-together.

Please forgive me if I made you upset.

Oh, please. I should apologize for my bad manners.

And I have already received too many apologies.

Chairman Kang came in person last time.

I see.

Father came in person?

He even went that far for Kang Tae Poong's marriage?

- Did Chairman Kang visit you? - Yes.

But why does she look so familiar?

If Father said something similar,

we must have met before.

I knew I had seen her before. It was her.

What are you doing in here?

Give it to me.

I...

I had something to check.

I met someone who looked just like her.

What?

CEO Jung Mo Yeon. You know her too.

I heard you two met several times.

You're making this fuss about a little resemblance?

Dare touch my things again,

and I will chop those hands off.

Now get lost.

Why is he overreacting?

Just because CEO Jung Mo Yeon looks a lot like Ba Ram's mom?

Father is definitely hiding something.

For real?

What now?

This could be the last time I let you off the hook.

I came as a client today. Don't you want to make money?

You don't pick your clients, do you?

And don't you accept any sort of work from my family?

This little...

Do you beat up anyone for money?

How about killing them?

It's going to cost you quite a lot.

As expected of you.

Now then.

Why don't we head inside and have a little chitchat?

Pay me first.

You're an impatient man.

You don't even know what I'm going to ask you to do.

I need to check if you're a real client or not.

What the heck?

Darn it.

Show me the money first.

Okay.

Look at that.

By the way, won't you go to jail...

for doing such bad things?

Does someone have your back or something?

What's your secret?

Who could it be?

You punk.

For goodness' sake.

Yes?

I think I scratched your car.

Your number was in the car, so I rang you up.

Darn it.

How seriously annoying.

Darn it.

Didn't he leave it here last time?

He already locked it up.

Gosh, look at this scratch. This is bad.

Hey!

Darn it. Seriously?

I parked it perfectly. So how did you scratch it?

A car suddenly came in while I was driving.

When I tried to dodge it, I made a quick turn. I'm sorry.

How are things over there?

- This car is special to me. - What? It's locked up?

Darn it. Why won't it open?

What the heck? It's dangerous.

You shouldn't come in here.

I'll take care...

Where did you get that from?

The security office.

What are you doing? Aren't we looking for the ledger?

Right. Yes, let's find it.

Oh, I found it.

Be careful from now on.

Come out now.

Mr. Ma is going inside again.

Okay. I got it. We'll be right out.

Let's go.

Seriously. How annoying.

If we stay here like this, we'll get caught.

Go first. I'll be there soon.

What about you?

Do you think that guy can beat me?

Okay.

What is this?

You little punk.

He said he'd be right out.

Something must've happened to Tae Poong. I should go back.

It will just complicate things if we go in there.

But Tae Poong is alone.

Even Ma Dae Geun won't be able to harm Tae Poong.

Don't worry.

Wait.

Mr. Kang.

Let's split up here.

It won't do us any good to be found together.

Are you okay?

Are you worried about me right now?

Answer me. Are you okay?

Don't worry about me. Get going.

What? Are you telling me...

Mr. Ma had this?

It has the records of your transactions with Mr. Ma.

Next to each financial transaction were those who Le Blanc had issues with,

including competitors, subcontractors, and even the factory manager.

So what are you trying to say?

This looks like you had ordered Mr. Ma to take care of things,

and it's obvious what methods Mr. Ma would have used.

Are you saying I threatened them?

I'm sure it wasn't just threatening.

I'm sure he looked into their personal information, used violence, and more.

What are you talking about?

I trust you, Chairman Kang.

But if this goes public, people will get suspicious.

Also, if Mr. Ma were to change his mind and use this to threaten you,

things would get complicated.

He wouldn't dare.

I'm going to call him over right away.

You're worse than an animal!

You pest!

Chairman Kang. I'm sorry.

How dare you?

What are they saying?

Seriously. He normally doesn't raise his voice like that.

What?

Oh, my.

Oh, no.

Chairman Kang. Please forgive me, just this once.

I gave you some money because you were struggling with gambling debt,

but you kept a record of our transactions and built a trap for me. How dare you?

A trap?

You made it look like I ordered you to do things.

I saw it all!

I didn't make that up.

It was all true.

You punk.

- Come here! - Oh, my. Baek San.

- Stop it. - Get it together.

Stop lying, old man.

You were lying about Ba Ram and Soon Young too, weren't you?

You lied and said...

that someone in our family ordered you to do those things.

What?

Ba Ram?

Tae Poong. What are you talking about?

When this man tried to kill Soon Young,

he said someone in our family ordered him to do it.

What? I never said that!

Don't lie!

Stop talking nonsense!

Do you have evidence?

Evidence?

Evidence?

Yes, evidence.

If you have it, show it to me now.

That evidence is right here.

Oh, my.

What?

What will you do now with me still alive,

Detective Ma?

(Vengeance of the Bride)

Let's go to the police station.

- Let's end this here, Mr. Yoon. - Father!

What in the world did Mr. Ma do?

I can't trust Ma Dae Geun's confession or Soon Young's story...

until I see things for myself.

I'll find your younger sister for you.

We need to confirm whether or not Ba Ram is alive.

If Soon Young is alive, Ba Ram could be too.

How can you wish she was dead? She didn't do anything wrong.

You don't know anything. Just be quiet.

- She... - Kang Ba Da!
