Original subtitles

Everything makes sense now.

The Mi-na I liked

was the person I talked to that night.

But I'm not

that Kang Mi-na anymore.

Who I am,

whose daughter I am…

Are you sure none of that matters to you?

I'm not that boy anymore either.

When you get to really know someone,

the person often turns out to be different from what you imagined.

Also,

that's when

true love begins.

Maybe this place is too exposed.

The Hanju Hotel garage is famous for it.

What?

It's pretty remote and dark,

so it's popular

with people dating secretly.

You probably can't see it through those tinted windows,

but in these cars…

Anyway, they are all busy.

They wouldn't care what's happening outside.

Even if they did, it's not like our relationship is inappropriate.

But it is, in other people's eyes.

Right, I'm Kang Mi-na.

And you're my cousin-in-law.

This is definitely inappropriate.

-Where's your car? -Over there.

Mr. No. How did you know I was here?

I told you Mr. Han was probably still at the hotel,

and you rushed out.

You basically told me where you were going.

So this is what happened.

What do you mean? Did you see something?

No, I didn't. I just got here.

Then what did you mean?

I'm not blind.

Just look at his face.

If you'd been dating for a month, he wouldn't look like that.

You two obviously just…

Let's all go in one car.

Still,

how could you give up your shares without saying anything to me?

I'm sorry.

But without his swift decision, things wouldn't have settled down.

He must be more upset than anyone about losing his shares.

Leave him alone.

That's enough. I'm fine.

He was going too far.

Hold on.

Should I hand over some of Mi-na's shares to you?

What do you think?

That might get you in trouble.

Don't worry.

I'm already in deep trouble anyway.

A little more burden won't make any difference.

Even with your shares put together, you're not a majority shareholder.

There's no point in exchanging your shares.

There's a more urgent matter than this.

The PR team just reported to me

that there were rumors going around about Chairman Kang Mi-na.

What rumors?

"Chairman Kang Mi-na of Yumin Group is fake."

"Someone else is impersonating her."

I never imagined you would be the person who spread this rumor first.

There's no need to waste your energy playing dumb.

These days, you can easily find out where a rumor started.

I…

didn't make that up. I have reason to believe so.

What I want to know is how you feel.

I heard that my brother dumped you.

Are you attacking his wife because you still have feelings for him?

No way.

I want to rip him to pieces.

Excuse my language.

He was, of course, the first person I told this to.

But he said

if I said things like this ever again,

he'd ruin my career and have me ostracized.

He did?

He is soaring high right now thanks to his wife.

But I'm telling you

that his wife is a fake.

You don't need to convince me.

In other words,

there is another person who feels the same way

I do.

We need to find a way to get out naturally before the rumors spread.

Hey…

What's up? You didn't say you were coming.

Since when did I call first?

What's this? Is it acceptable

for a strange man to know your code

and come in as he pleases?

A strange man?

He's not a man.

He's like a brother.

If he's "like" a brother, it means he isn't your brother.

I guess you let just anyone come.

Where Mr. Han has no women anywhere in his vicinity.

No wonder.

No wonder your place is never clean.

Look at all that dust.

I go to Mr. Han's apartment all the time, but it's spotless.

Mr. No.

I'm about to get very offended right now.

What are you getting at?

You're not trying to say he's too good for me, are you?

My gosh.

He's agreeing by remaining silent.

How could you?

We've grown so close.

Being close is one thing.

Thinking he's too good for you is another.

I'm a prosecutor. I'm a professional.

What's so great about that?

I was a prosecutor too.

Three out of four here are prosecutors.

I have some stuff to work out with Yu-jun today,

so please leave us.

I'll come over once I'm done.

What are you working out at this hour?

Let's do as she says.

Come on.

-At this late hour? -Come on.

I think she wants to talk about me.

It'll be okay, right?

I'll drive Yeon-ju over, so you can go home.

-What? -Don't be stupid and get jealous.

Just be good to her.

I'll do the nagging.

Keep that look in your eyes.

Don't get lax just because time passes, okay?

Imagine how hard it must be.

She has to play two characters, get revenge, and date.

People are attacking from all sides.

Be good to her.

I don't know if it's safe for us to be together like this.

What if someone barges in like last time?

Even if they do, you may yell at them now.

Is that right?

To be honest,

when I heard that Yumin shares were going to Chairman Han,

I wondered if that was right.

But I signed the papers because I have faith in you.

But what happened?

That was unexpected. The hotel.

Sung-woon?

Our father said we can't let him waste his life forever

and to teach him the business.

-That's it, right? -Of course.

That's why I want to set things straight considering the position he's in,

but weird rumors keep circulating.

That is why I need your help.

With what?

There are rumors spreading that Mi-na is an imposter.

That's a little too serious.

So I'd like to get a DNA test done.

HYEBYUL GALLERY HOLDS VOLUNTEER EVENT FOR ANIMAL SHELTER

Gosh. Congratulations, Chief Prosecutor.

I can kiss drinking in public goodbye.

I have to be cautious. You know that.

I know.

I'll serve your junior prosecutors well.

May I call the prosecutor I met that day?

What? Who?

The female prosecutor that I met while I was serving time.

She looked like we would get along. She seemed to like designer goods.

-Who? Do you mean Cho? -Yes.

When I saw her briefly on the outside, I almost made a mistake.

I'd like to meet her and apologize.

Hold on.

Where did you see her?

At a designer mall. She was decked out in designer goods.

When was that?

The day we played Japan in football.

KOREA VS JAPAN SOCCER MATCH

Don't get me started.

My plan was to go fishing on an island and take it easy.

But I ended up falling into the sea and was bedridden for days.

I lost everything including my phone.

And there was no reception on that entire island.

That's why I couldn't call you.

She fell into the sea while on vacation,

but she was at a designer mall?

Pull out soon. More people in the Prosecutors' Office

will catch on.

I plan to.

I'm going to move out as soon as I find Chief's connection to Hanju.

They silenced everyone in the detention center.

It's impossible to find out what happened.

According to my mole in the Samgeori Gang,

Lee Bong-sik wasn't close enough to anyone to give them the list.

He was an infamous gambler, so everyone cut ties with him.

I came to talk about that today.

I guess I shouldn't just come in even if I have business to discuss.

But, Yeon-ju.

It wasn't like

you and Seung-wook did stuff because you were drunk, right?

You know I hate people who do things just because they are drunk.

That's the excuse murderers and rapists give.

I see.

It's just so sudden, that's why.

Then… Is everything resolved regarding your respective fathers?

Yu-jun.

I like Seung-wook.

As you noted, things are very complicated

and nothing has been resolved.

We'll have to do that one by one.

My bad. I overreacted.

Although that's my pet peeve.

Okay. Let's not call for personal reasons anymore.

-Bye. -Bye.

Did you put away the gold toad and watches used for bribery

that I brought last time?

-No. -See?

They are in your dressing room.

You wouldn't have opened it for a year if I hadn't told you.

-Put it somewhere safe. -Okay, I will.

Okay, then. Bye.

Also, don't fall behind on maintenance payments.

They'll cut you off if you're late three months.

Or do you want to set up automatic payments?

You never paid before I nagged you after seeing the warning notices.

The condensation by the balcony needs to be addressed before winter.

-The hard water stains in the toilet-- -Yu-jun.

Go home. Stop going overboard.

Okay, I will.

I won't go overboard.

-Bye. -Later.

I haven't located Ms. Kang Mi-na yet.

However, it looks like someone else

is also searching for her now.

Not Yumin Group, but someone else?

Also, I heard something strange

when I went because of the flash drive.

So many boats will take people just on a personal basis,

so it's easy to sneak people out of the country.

Hey. Look into it.

-Focus on dealers that arrange boat rides. -Yes, Boss.

She's pretty.

This woman.

What?

Isn't that her? Your wrist.

You're right.

What do you mean?

They say Ms. Kang Mi-na

fights very well.

What stupidity is that?

Where are you now?

They said she looked like a woman they knew,

so I came to the address they gave me.

Get back here now.

How dare you take off without even telling me?

You should've sent someone to fill in for you if you were going

to be gone for this long.

Yes, ma'am. My apologies.

TAMNA FISH MARKET

You said you had to stop by somewhere.

-This was it? -Yes, why?

Then I shouldn't go in empty-handed.

You go ahead.

-Over here! -Can we order?

-Yes. Just a moment, please. -Can we get another serving?

-Sure! Hey, another serving. -Got it.

Okay, at 10 p.m.

-Uncle! -A table for four, got it.

-Uncle. -All right, thank you.

-What would you like? -Uncle!

What? Hey, when did you get here?

-Clearly, he didn't hear me at all. -I can wrap up soon, so wait just a bit.

It's 38,000 won. The soup is on the house.

There are so many customers.

Good for you that your business is doing so well.

So you're not her real uncles?

What? Did you lie to him that you were?

I swear.

I never actually said that we were your real uncles.

-Hey, am I wrong? -No, you're right.

Come on. He obviously bought those,

-thinking you were my real uncles. -No.

Right.

Try this.

You have to use knives all the time here,

-My goodness. -so your wrists must hurt.

Gosh, you two are such pigs.

By the way, what were you saying earlier?

About Lee Bong-sik.

We believe that Samgeori Gang had something to do with his death.

So I'm here to ask you to do some fieldwork for me.

Hey, now that you've regained your memory,

did you forget everything you did when you had amnesia?

Is that how it works?

Hey, don't you remember Samgeori Gang totally knocking us out?

They didn't knock me out.

And I'm not asking you to go fight with them.

You see, Lee Bong-sik returned to Korea because he blew all his money on gambling.

Even after he returned, he practically lived at gambling dens.

And you know gamblers very well.

Hey! That's all in the past.

We quit long ago.

Right, thank goodness you quit.

Think about it.

Your chances of winning are so slim.

-How could you bet all your money-- -Hey!

Every gambler knows that the chances are slim.

You see, when you gamble,

you bet on hope.

Okay. Keep that word, "hope", etched on your heart

and continue to help me dig into the Lee Bong-sik case.

But as you can see,

our business is doing very well now.

If we have to tail someone 24-7--

Right. I will compensate you

for your loss.

-You'll compensate us? -Yes.

Look at you bluffing again as if you're rich or something.

Just worry about your rent.

Why did you say that?

Honey.

Seok-ho.

My gosh.

Doctor!

So your uncles have been helping you in that manner.

Chasing Lee Bong-sik with you.

I ran into them at the hospital by chance the day my grandmother passed away.

They said the gang had disbanded, and the members went their separate ways.

They came to the emergency room and recognized me and my grandmother.

But last time,

-they told me that your father-- -Hey.

I understand that you keep bringing him up

because he was deeply involved in your father's death,

but the Kang Myung-guk I know

is certainly capable of setting a fire out of rage,

and he only cares about himself.

Most importantly,

he has nothing to do with me.

All right.

Are you disappointed because I'm so ruthless?

"I can't let myself get emotional."

"I can't be sad. I must always be cool-headed and objective."

You trained yourself to be like this.

Like I said, when you're in love,

you're not disappointed easily.

Love? Come on.

I feel bad that you have to go back to this house.

A while back, I told you

that I was used to crises like this.

Now that I've regained my memory, I know that it really is true.

This is nothing.

Bye.

Thank you for persuading them to cancel the summons.

I didn't think it could be done with some shares.

Well…

The point is, whose shares?

Lee Bong-sik got caught with a list that could harm Hanju's reputation,

and when the list was about to be revealed,

Lee Bong-sik suddenly died.

And rumor has it that Kang Mi-na's name is on the list.

It's all over now.

Why must you keep bringing it up? What are you trying to say?

Father, you must have

some serious connections in the prosecution.

I was working on it too through a prosecutor I know,

but it was very hard to get the other prosecutors on board.

We see prosecutors getting involved in conglomerates' family feuds

all the time,

but do they think prosecutors are some errand boys?

Anyhow, thanks to the merger, you and I are in the same boat now.

Isn't it a waste of time to manage the prosecutors separately?

Let's share our connections

in the prosecution.

The prosecutors these days are very arrogant.

It's time we shook things up.

That's right! Prosecutors are awfully arrogant.

When they have a meeting, not a single one of them

puts the chair back when the meeting is over.

It sounds like you know a lot about prosecutors.

I know them very well.

Weird rumors keep circulating.

There are rumors spreading that Mi-na is an imposter.

So I'd like to get a DNA test done.

What are you doing here?

We got rid of the housekeepers after your accident,

so the house is untidy.

I'm just checking if this room is clean.

Do you expect me to believe that?

Why are you so prickly to me?

It goes both ways.

What are you two doing here?

She came into my room when I wasn't here.

-Why are you here? -What's with you both?

Is there something in this room that I shouldn't see?

If you need to talk to her, talk to me directly instead.

Try not to converse with Sung-hye.

Every man in this family seems to be in love with you.

-Sorry? -When I asked you about Seung-wook,

you talked as though you would never see him again.

But he gave up his shares to help you out,

and you have Sung-woon wrapped around your little finger.

They are at your beck and call. How did you make it happen?

You were not like this before.

-Sung-hye. -You're right.

In the past, I was just a chairman's daughter like you.

But now, I am the chairman.

That is my secret.

Those who are truly mature can keep their emotions in check.

But these days,

people blurt out whatever they want to say and bluff about it.

It's a crude trend, I must say.

Did your sister just say I was vulgar?

Gosh.

Seriously.

Wasn't my timing perfect?

Where have you been, by the way?

I came straight home after the ceremony and waited for you.

Since when are you so interested in where I've been?

You really have no interest in me, do you?

I've been interested in that for a while now.

Don't be like that, honey.

I've dated many married women,

and not many of them stay in their marriages because of love.

You seem to understand women so well.

Don't look down on me so much.

You and I are in the same boat now.

It's true that I became the co-CEO thanks to you,

but you also have to stay with me to keep both Yumin and Hanju.

-What? -Did you see Seung-wook again?

It's fine.

No matter what you do

and who you are,

I'm never going to divorce you.

What do you mean by that?

I know

you're not Kang Mi-na.

What? Did you think

I protected you from So-yi and my sister

because I believed you were Kang Mi-na?

Knowing your real name and age is enough for me.

I didn't want to know more than that about the real Mi-na anyway.

I don't care who you are.

Who you are right now is good enough for me.

You don't care who I am?

Why do you and your siblings keep saying that?

Are you saying

I have to keep pretending to be Mi-na

for you to keep your position?

Exactly.

But what if I, who isn't Kang Mi-na,

don't need my position?

As soon as I reveal that I'm not Kang Mi-na,

you'll lose your position right away, right?

So the person who needs me in this position the most

isn't me, but you.

And you wouldn't want anything to happen to me

because you're not capable of protecting your wife's inheritance.

So from now on,

keep your mouth shut and protect me

not for my sake, but for your own good,

if you want to keep your position.

Gosh, that was nerve-racking.

I really need to get out of this house soon.

The anxiety is eating away at me.

Didn't you say he wasn't likely to wake up?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Why didn't you take care of it sooner?

Get to it.

HANJU HOSPITAL

How could they call you as soon as he woke up?

The last time I was here,

I figured that his treatment must be costly.

So I've been helping them financially through Yumin.

And I asked them to call me as soon as something happens.

I can't believe Han Sung-hye, that woman.

While she was bragging about the money she gave them,

you were the one who was really helping them.

That's very kind of you.

It's no big deal.

Then again,

it might not be a big deal for rich people.

Let's go.

The thing is, I've been here since last night.

I even watched the doctors examine the patient.

And when they said he could have a conversation, I called you.

I was here all night.

Oh, no. You must be tired.

Do you remember me?

You ran me over with your car.

Ma'am.

What happened?

Why did you do that when I was just standing there?

-I don't remember well. -I've been there.

Don't think you can smooth things over using your amnesia.

Your call history shows that you called someone at Hanju.

I was struggling financially,

so I was calling around

to ask all the people I used to know for help.

Luckily, someone at Hanju agreed to lend me money

and called me to Hanju Hotel.

But when I was leaving the garage to meet that person,

I went into a seizure.

How did you know that person?

We met when I worked at Hanju factory long ago.

Hanju is behind everything that happened.

Ma'am, please forgive him.

When he was working there, someone set fire to the factory.

After that accident, his epilepsy got worse.

If he doesn't take his medicine, he goes into a seizure anytime.

He's lying.

If he came from over there and crashed into this spot,

he would've had to have turned the wheel somewhere over there.

Someone with epilepsy

who supposedly drove straight unconscious turned the wheel?

I think so too. He's definitely lying.

Why does he have to say

his condition got worse after the factory fire?

It makes me feel bad.

This is strange. Yu-jun usually never misses my calls.

No way.

Is he not picking up thinking it's a personal call?

I was just going to ask for the case files for the fire.

Gosh, unbelievable.

He didn't have to make the boundary so clear.

Yu-jun and I go back a long way.

Every time something happens, I automatically call him.

Okay. That's understandable.

But since we first met at the hospital,

haven't we known each other longer?

What?

Are you being jealous?

You don't have to worry about Yu-jun.

I know him well.

You saw how he didn't even pick up. He's like that.

All right.

My goodness, you're jealous.

Mr. An?

-Mr. An! -Yes?

Your phone.

I'm leaving early.

See you.

He only just got here. What's with him?

Hello, this is Jang Seok-ho.

I'd like to speak to Mr. Jung Do-woo.

What are we all doing here so early in the morning?

At a time like this, it's best to stay out as much as you can.

If you run into one of those three at home and make a slip of the tongue,

it can turn the tables and things can get awkward.

I'm still on Sung-hye's side.

I'll pretend she's a stock I bought.

The price has gone down a bit, but I'm sure it'll rise back up.

Sung-mi.

When it comes to stocks, selling at the right time is key.

I'm going to stay on Mi-na's side.

Don't you think it's time for you to sell that stock?

I know you trust Mi-na,

but she's in the same boat with Sung-woon now.

How could you talk that way about your own brother?

Aren't you even worried about him?

I'd never worry about him unless he's dying.

What about you, Mother?

What do you think will happen to Sung-woon and Mi-na?

Sung-woon, who always messes everything up,

and Mi-na, who can save every situation, are on the same side?

It's impossible to predict.

So whose side are you on, Mother?

I wouldn't have to worry about this if Sun-woo's dad were alive.

They got a famous designer from Europe or somewhere to make this.

It really is nice.

Yes, isn't it?

Everything looks like artwork.

I hear everyone's praising Mi-na like crazy

for her great eye in choosing that designer.

I have only two daughters-in-law,

and one is annoying, and the other is irritating.

You know Mom gets angry if you mention him.

Ever since he died,

it doesn't matter to you who takes over the company.

His death anniversary is coming up but no one cares.

You're all so mean, that's why.

Anyway,

between being annoying and irritating,

isn't it better to be annoying?

Ma'am, she will serve you from now on whenever I'm not around.

-I'm Kim Eun-jung. -HR recommended her.

They reviewed her experiences and skills including hotel work experience--

I don't need her personal details.

Did you notify Mr. Han Sung-woon of the meeting this morning?

Yes. Yesterday.

Then why is he not here yet?

Serve her well.

The person you have reached…

He won't even pick up.

You're not a CEO just because you give a speech.

Perhaps he's golfing as usual.

I'll find out.

-Gosh. -What's taking so long?

Should we just begin?

We can't do that. It's our first meeting as co-CEOs.

Let's give him a few more minutes.

Chief?

-Did you do it right? -Yes, sir.

But this seems like surveillance.

My man.

If I'm monitoring Yeon-ju's daily life and investigating her personal life…

Yes, it's surveillance.

But even you can see something isn't right with her.

Is something wrong or not?

-Yes or no? -Yes. But--

That's why, as her supervisor,

I want to report hourly on her comings and goings during the day.

Is that so wrong?

No.

Darn it. Can't you write any bigger?

CHO YEON-JU

Why did she go in and out so much?

CHO YEON-JU

Two identical faces.

They've never appeared in two different places.

CHAIRMAN KANG MI-NA'S SCHEDULE

CHO YEON-JU

Not even once.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I really am?

But who did she say she was?

Chairman Kang Mi-na of Hanju Group?

Why is she Chairman Kang Mi-na?

I thought she was talking nonsense because she was drunk.

Should I tell you why the two of you

can't get Chairman Kang Mi-na?

It's because you…

received a car from Hanju.

Are you the only prosecutor here?

I'm also a prosecutor.

I, Ryu Seung-duk, was called a hound dog

when I was an entry-level prosecutor.

I'm positive they are one and the same.

But who's playing both characters?

Kang Mi-na or Cho Yeon-ju?

Gosh. Madam Prosecutor. To be honest,

all I did was steal a measly 170,000 won.

That's all.

Isn't it excessive to make me come to the Prosecutors' Office?

A measly 170,000 won?

Hey, you. Is 170,000 won not money?

Darn it.

This stupid company.

-Sorry, but I need to take this. -Sure. Go ahead.

Hello?

I didn't get to give it to you this morning because I had to rush.

Go ahead.

Listen.

How could we be satisfied with only 1.7 billion in annual sales?

Do you know how much money went into it already?

Invest five billion won again.

How can you run a business if you're timid about five billion? It's 5, not 15.

Just do it.

Anyway, so many people struggle because they don't have 1.7 billion…

No. 17 billion…

No. 170,000 won is a lot of money.

What?

What are you talking about?

Me?

Anyway, you show no remorse, so let's stop here for today.

Go on.

That's it?

-Mr. Park. -Yes?

How many minor theft cases for 1.7 billion--

I mean, for 170,000 won, is this already?

What's wrong with the case distributions?

Do I need to cause a scene?

I thought they were delivered to the wrong office at first.

But

to be honest,

you leave your desk several times a day.

You know you're acting different.

That's why you're being punished from way up above

and being assigned cases like this.

That's what we think, at least.

Connecting calls and making things up when people ask for you while you're out

is quite difficult.

Up above?

You're telling me to take it up with Chief myself, right?

Fine!

That wasn't it Ms. Cho!

That wasn't what we meant. We meant to stop stepping away so much.

She only hears what she wants.

Chief!

Darn it. Don't you know how to knock?

How could you do this?

I hear you're the one assigning me petty crimes.

I'm not a newbie. Why am I getting those cases?

Hold on. I have a frozen shoulder. I can't lower it.

The doctor said to avoid stress.

What? Assigning what?

Did you do it right when I gave you a big case?

I took everything else off of your docket

and said to summon Kang Mi-na, did you listen?

Come sit here. Let's talk.

I'm not going to sit! I can't.

Let's talk!

Must I tell you about my embarrassing illnesses?

That's right! I have hemorrhoids!

The doctor said not to sit.

Darn it. You do as you please with an important case.

You won't do petty crimes.

Is this place a vending machine from which you can choose

which cases you want?

You should be reprimanded for what happened to Lee Bong-sik.

You should be grateful I gave you work.

How dare you barge into the chief prosecutor's office

and order me to sit? Some with hemorrhoids, at that.

Do you want to be suspended?

No. I can't investigate then.

-Get out. -Fine.

My arm is so sore.

Hallelujah!

Why is she so obsessed with Lee Bong-sik?

Gosh, that temper…

I'm 100 percent sure that she is Cho Yeon-ju. Yes!

There's no way Kang Mi-na can imitate that nasty temper.

I'm sure of it.

Cho Yeon-ju is playing both characters now.

Then where is Kang Mi-na?

Hey, it's me.

We should have Ms. Cho's identity assurance statement

from the time she was appointed.

Can you send it up?

Isn't he a devoted Buddhist?

What's with the "Hallelujah"?

And why is he so angry with me?

He wants to do whatever it takes to pressure me.

I'm like the epitome of Hammurabi's Code.

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth!

I should start pressuring

the chief prosecutor too,

but what are my uncles up to?

What's up?

What?

I've been staking out the gambling joint Lee Bong-sik used to frequent.

Let me join you guys.

You're a new face.

I lived abroad for years. It's my first time here.

Cheer up.

In the beginning, I let them win. Then I won here and there.

Then naturally, I met people who knew Lee Bong-sik.

I let them win a few times, so we chatted after the games.

Apparently, Lee Bong-sik bluffed like crazy

about pawning something big at the pawnshop across the street.

He said it was way better

than all the profitable crypto coins in the market now,

gloating over it.

You're playing cards there now? How?

When we were at Seoul Central,

our entire team went to a gambling den. Remember?

You guys made me go in there as bait because I was the youngest.

You taught me how to do this.

But you should hurry.

Looks like someone in Samgeori Gang is also after this flash drive.

So you've been there this whole time? Is that why I couldn't reach you?

Don't overreact. It's no biggie.

I had to do some legwork anyway.

I have to go.

Says the guy who totally went overboard.

It's me, Uncle.

Go to the pawnshop in front of the gambling joint.

I think the flash drive is there.

I'll be there shortly too. Okay.

Darn it. How will we tell her that someone's already took it?

She said it was connected to the Samgeori Gang.

Could it have been one of their boys?

In any case, you should call her.

Why do you always make me do these things?

For goodness' sake.

Wait.

That man. Didn't we see him at the gambling joint last night?

Is he one of the Samgeori boys?

It'll be a two-on-one fight.

What do you say?

We cannot give away Yeon-ju's name or what she does.

Of course, we won't.

Mr. Jang Seok-ho.

Is he getting an injection?

My, look who's here.

It's been a while, missy.

Apparently, Lee Bong-sik bluffed like crazy

about pawning something big at the pawnshop across the street.

He said it was way better than all the profitable crypto coins.

"Better than all the profitable crypto coins?"

Hey!

Goodness, you startled me.

Who told you to collect that flash drive?

What?

Hey, bird head. Have you lost your mind?

Who are you? Take that off, will you?

Darn it!

Hey!

Yes, what is it?

Did you take the flash drive?

Who are you guys?

Look at those long limbs. He won't be an easy one to beat.

A prosecutor

at the Central District Office sent us.

A prosecutor at the Central District Office?

That's right. Prosecutor C…

I'm Prosecutor An from the Seopyung. Who sent you?

Cho…

Mom, can a chicken fly?

No, chickens can't fly.

Darn it!

Who are you? Take this off.

Take it off!

It hurts. Let go!

No, my arm!

My arm! You little…

Darn it.

That's okay. What can you do?

I'll look into how Samgeori Gang is connected.

So? Where are you going now?

They took the flash drive.

But Seung-wook found something else too, so I'm on my way there.

Let's talk later.

Be careful. Bye.

So you passed the bar exam in the same year as Yeon-ju?

Yes.

This is just a case Yeon-ju is pursuing personally.

And it's extremely dangerous too.

Are you really just helping her as a colleague?

What's going on between you two?

We're just friends.

Just friends?

Why would you ask such an unimportant question?

What? What's important then?

The destination in Seopyung that you just typed in

doesn't seem to be an official residence, but an expensive apartment.

Do you own it?

My mother does.

Your mother?

-By the way… -What is it?

I stayed up all night last night. Is it okay if I take a nap?

Sure.

Isn't this guy a bit better?

I mean, than the guy who rents.

His family seems wealthy.

He has a nice job and is younger.

His background isn't important.

Then?

What's important is how Yeon-ju feels.

You idiot. Drive carefully.

Goodness.

We don't want to wake up Prosecutor An.

Hanju Hospital refused to give any help. No CCTV footage, nothing.

The police said it'd be nearly impossible to catch the culprit.

Luckily, Mr. Jang took the syringe.

What was in it?

A lethal dose of thallium.

It's a toxic element.

When injected with a lethal dose, the person remains healthy

for a couple of weeks, only to die a seemingly sudden death.

What you said was right.

You persuaded me to go into hiding from the beginning.

I was an idiot.

I'm sorry.

I'm relieved that you're safe.

But what happened?

The person came to me

and gave me a task, promising a reward.

I was pressured for money,

so every penny counted.

I was told that you were going to appear at the hotel that day.

I was supposed to wait for the cue and crash into your car.

But then

without any cue,

you showed up out of nowhere.

I didn't want to mess up, so I started the car anyway.

But I got nervous and went into a seizure.

But why did that person ask you to do such a thing?

How did you two know each other?

After the fire at Hanju factory,

I was paid by that person to give a false statement.

What false statement?

That I saw someone start a fire.

Because I got paid then, I trusted that person this time too.

What did you say?

I do feel bad.

That day…

Fire!

Evacuate!

He went around knocking on every door to wake people up.

That's how all the workers could evacuate.

I inhaled some smoke on my way out,

and the trauma worsened my epilepsy.

But without him, I would've died.

The thing is,

I wasn't the only one who lied.

That man admitted starting a fire himself.

The other guys managed to retrieve this,

but you failed to take care of the man in the hospital?

I'm sorry.

Considering your hard work so far, I shouldn't be too harsh.

Are you tired lately?

Would you like to take some time off?

Do you know what bothers me the most?

I never even thought about asking my dad

if he really started the fire.

I just assumed he was someone who would do such a thing.

So I only asked him why he did that.

But if what that man said is true, why did my dad never tell the truth?

Even if he didn't tell me,

he could've told someone else at least once out of frustration.

So why…

Go and ask him again about what happened.

Why do you still barge into my life and mess up everything?

Why?

You'll never see me again.

I can't.

Not after being so harsh.

I even said

he was never going to see me again.

Still, he didn't say anything mean to you, did he?

Like I once said,

when you're in love, you're not disappointed easily.

Let's see where this goes.

What brings you all the way here?

I'm sorry about this morning.

The meeting was scheduled way too early.

I won't miss it tomorrow.

There's no meeting tomorrow morning.

Did you cancel it for me?

You didn't have to.

I didn't cancel it because of this game you're playing, so don't worry.

You'll get arrested tonight for drug use.

That's why.

What are you talking about?

Do you remember the drug I gave you?

The one you take when you can't sleep.

That drug is quite funny.

If you get tested for drugs after taking it,

the test result turns out positive.

What?

Did you think I was just sitting by?

Drugs are no big deal.

Among people like us, is there anyone who doesn't use them?

Maybe not.

And no one would go to prison for it.

But you will.

Because after the drug,

I'll reveal all the trashy videos of you that I took to start rumors about you.

No one in the company is on your side either.

While you missed today's meeting to play a game with me,

I improved the conditions for all the executives dramatically.

Also,

do you remember this?

You think Sung-chan is the only one who'd end up like that?

Do you think Father will be on your side?

What? Because of your wife?

Hey, we both know that your wife is fake.

What are you doing here?

I know

you're not Kang Mi-na.

Knowing your real name and age

is enough for me.

I didn't want to know more than that about the real Mi-na anyway.

I don't care who you are.

Who you are right now is good enough for me.

Are you saying I have to keep pretending to be Mi-na

for you to keep your position?

Exactly.

But what if I, who isn't Kang Mi-na,

don't need my position?

You were always quick-witted ever since you were a kid.

I knew all along

that you were not really a loser.

That it was an act.

You just didn't want to end up like Sung-chan.

What's wrong with you?

-What do you want me to do? -What else?

You should gather people and publicly share

your wife's DNA test result.

You should've hidden it well till the end.

I would've let you be as long as you didn't hurt me.

Okay. You don't have a choice anymore.

Tell me

everything you know about Mi-na.

Who is she?

CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICE

PRESERVING LAW AND ORDER

That day. The day of Grandma's accident…

Did you set the factory on fire?

Were you the one

who started the fire?

No.

I didn't do it.

You didn't?

Then why didn't you say so?

Because I didn't believe you?

Because everyone assumed it was you?

It wasn't your fault.

I…

took money in exchange for saying

I started the fire.

You were paid?

By whom? Who paid you?

I didn't know who he was.

He came to see me at the police station.

He said he worked for Hanju.

You took money from Hanju?

Why?

Was the money

that paid for my food and education

from Hanju?

EPILOGUE

You finally agreed to visitations.

Why do you keep annoying me?

Why do you keep sending me letters?

I have a lot of time to kill.

Why did you want to meet so badly?

What is it?

I just want to come by now and then.

I have a lot of time to kill.

I came to share good news today.

Forget it. I've read the Bible, the Tipitaka, the Quran…

I've read all the good news in here.

SUPER DADDY

Then she got angry and just left.

Although I was doing this as I was told because I hurt my arm.

She has her mom's temper.

-Really? -Yes.

All the women in our family are tough like that.

Both my mother and Yeon-ju's mom.

She became a prosecutor to catch her grandma's hit-and-run killer.

The prosecutor who covered it up

seems to be connected to Hanju,

so she's still gathering evidence.

Would Hanju just let her do that?

She has been fighting back well thus far.

You keep coming to see me because you want me to tell you

what happened that day, right?

That's right.

I really want to know. Not only for me,

but for Yeon-ju's sake too.

Does she know

you've been coming to see me?

No, not yet.

Then tell her and come back.

But if she finds out I had been coming secretly,

would she be disappointed in me?

I'm not sure.

It depends on how she feels.

There's something my mother once told me.

Even if a child makes a mistake, when they reach out again,

their parents will take that hand immediately.

Isn't that true?

When we love someone,

we don't get disappointed in them that readily.

You don't have a choice anymore.

Tell me everything you know about Mi-na.

It's like term savings maturing.

All of this happened in Seopyung.

I am the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Snoop around all you want. Do you think things will go your way?

I was told there was something suspicious about your alibi.

Didn't you visit the factory in Seopyung the day he passed away?

Cho Yeon-ju. I've heard that name before.

She was the daughter of the Hanju factory arsonist.
