BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

ALL CHARACTERS, EVENTS, LOCATIONS AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

After 9:20 p.m. on the night Yu-jin died,

and before the police arrived, this person took the package.

This person might've been there when Yu-jin died.

PREVIOUSLY

She could be a witness or an accomplice. Or she could be the actual killer.

What if they have a confession?

A confession of another suspect.

Let's make a deal for real this time.

When I was taking the elevator down that day,

Min-sung's father got on at the 10th floor.

You've got a spectacular past.

And why did you meet with Ms. Oh Yu-jin so often before she died?

There was nothing going on between me and her!

Do you know why Yu-jin died?

Without my help, you'll never figure out anything.

By the way, shouldn't you tell me

what really happened that night?

I stabbed her.

Help me.

No one else can know.

I stabbed her.

I stabbed Yu-jin.

Is this the answer that you were expecting?

That was just the alcohol talking.

Besides,

even if I did stab her,

there is no motive or evidence,

so who would possibly think I did it?

Mr. Kang, it isn't over yet.

A meaningful lead could be found

even in a non-indicted case

if there's someone determined enough to find it.

I'm sure you'll be careful,

but it wouldn't be good to leave that possibility open.

2022.12.01 FOUR DAYS BEFORE OH YU-JIN'S DEATH

I told you no.

RECORDING

200 million won is small potatoes for getting rid of a person.

I have what you want.

Are you serious?

Don't lie to me.

I really do. Why don't you believe me?

A meaningful lead could be found

even in a non-indicted case

if there's someone determined enough to find it.

It wouldn't be good to leave that possibility open.

EPISODE 13

What was your relationship with Yu-jin?

There was nothing going on between us.

Nothing happened.

Jung Su-bin...

LEE SO-MIN - JANG MI-HO - HWANG JI-YE

His isn't here.

SONG JUNG-AH CEO

SEARCH: JUNG SU-BIN NO RESULT FOUND

Being a workaholic is so tacky.

How a CEO takes a break.

Which hotel did you stay at?

Jung Su-bin, you're living it up.

I knew you would marry money.

Right. He's still mooching off women.

Song Jung-sik, Song Jung-ah...

Is he Song Jung-ah's brother?

You've always mooched off women. How dare you?

Hey.

I will make sure my sister divorces you.

That's enough!

SONG JUNG-SIK

MESSAGE

Hello. I'm Jang Mi-ho.

You're Song Jung-ah's brother, right?

We met once at a club in Hannam-dong.

I'd like to ask you some questions about Mr. Jung Su-bin.

Can we meet, if you don't mind?

Oh, I remember you.

Let me know the time and place.

Okay. See you then.

You better come prepared. I'll order something very expensive.

I'm meeting Jang Mi-ho tomorrow.

Do you know what you need to do now?

The more evidence you have, the better.

DIVORCE LAWYER KIM SUK-MIN

I'll file the divorce papers if you are certain.

What's wrong, Ms. Jo?

Ms. Kim...

Let's talk inside.

I never wanted any of this to happen.

Why would I like a married man with a kid?

But he kept hitting on me.

And now, he's begging me to marry him, saying he'll get a divorce...

but I feel so guilty.

I didn't know what to do,

so here I am talking to you about it.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

It must've been so hard on you.

So what do you want to do?

Do you want to marry that married man?

Or do you want to end it?

I want to end it,

but in my womb...

You've already crossed the Rubicon, then.

But, Ms. Jo...

Don't you feel bad for the wife?

After what you've done, you deserve to be branded as an adulterer

and the man deserves to be divorced.

But what have the wife and child done wrong?

That wife is a piece of work.

There's a reason when a man cheats on his wife, right?

I don't know.

Think about it. A man who goes around cheating on his wife

can't be a decent human being.

Anyway, I hope you find your place soon.

I am guessing

that the wife already knows what's going on.

Even if she does, what can she do?

It doesn't change anything.

That's what you think.

You probably can't even imagine

what the wife is plotting against you.

A divorce won't be the end of it.

She'll probably crush what you cherish the most.

Have a meal before you go.

What would you like to eat?

No, I'm good.

Oh, and this.

Thank you for all you've done for me.

JOB'S TEARS TEA

Thank you so much.

Oh, there's something that I wanted to give you as well.

I use this too.

Maybe it's due to all your stress. Your skin looks terrible."

Here. Try it.

It'll improve your complexion.

Here.

You didn't have to.

It's nothing much, so just use it.

A-RA

Darn it.

What? What is it this time?

Do you know who I just met with?

How would I...

Wait, you... Have you gone mad?

Just be grateful that I didn't tell her everything.

You still have a chance.

You crazy...

I will not go down alone.

I will drag you down with me to the bottom.

Even if I get divorced, I would never marry a vicious woman like you.

Then you'll be left all alone and become a single mom!

A single mom?

You're quite naive.

What do you mean by that?

You don't need to know.

We'll see who surrenders first.

What did you mean by that?

Tell me right now.

Hey!

It looks like you've been poking around here and there.

What did you want to ask me?

On Song Jung-ah's social media, I saw your comment about Mr. Jung Su-bin.

That he's still mooching off women.

You said something similar back at the club too.

Did I?

So why do you want to know?

Oh. You think Jung Su-bin was blackmailed by Oh Yu-jin

and ended up killing her?

Do you know something?

I know enough.

Jung Su-bin has a secret that's serious enough to kill Oh Yu-jin.

Just that much.

Wait. Ms. Song...

-Honey. -Ms. Song!

You crazy bastard.

You bastard.

You crazy bastard!

-Ms. Song! -Honey!

Please open this door.

Jung-ah!

That hurts, Jung-ah.

Wait!

You think I don't know what he's been blackmailing you with?

You used to work at a male escort club.

You thought I didn't know?

Honey, how did you...

You don't actually believe

he'd kill Oh Yu-jin for such a stupid secret, do you?

It may not be a stupid secret to Mr. Jung.

If he didn't know that you knew his secret,

he would've been desperate to hide it.

This is the money that bastard made him bring.

He begs not to tell anyone and pays up.

That's what he does.

This is too much to pay for his silence.

Are you sure the male escort club is your only secret, Mr. Jung?

Even if there's more,

he didn't kill Oh Yu-jin.

Then you can tell me what you were doing

the night Yu-jin was killed.

EMERGENCY NUMBER 112

Is this the police? I'm reporting an assault.

With a liquor bottle, someone...

Have you gone mad?

You must know how much it drives you nuts to be falsely accused.

Ruining someone?

That's a piece of cake for me.

I will do anything to protect my family.

Go home.

Honey.

Let's talk later.

No. Now.

Let's talk now.

I have so much that I want to tell you.

I...

I thought a lot about it.

Tell me what?

Why must I listen to you telling me that you fooled around with other girls?

What has that got to do with me?

I didn't marry you for love either.

I did it because I thought you'd be a servile husband.

-Don't talk that way. -But...

I now want to punch the old me.

How are you different from men who mooch off their wives?

You are living like a leech, sucking money out of me.

You and Jung-sik are the same.

That hurts.

If you blackmail Su-bin once more,

it's over between you and me.

I don't care that you're my brother.

No matter what you blackmail him with, I'll never dump him.

SU-BIN'S LOCATION - HOTEL

Sort out your thoughts first.

PASSBOOK

You used to work at a male escort club.

Honey, how did you...

You don't actually believe

he'd kill Oh Yu-jin for such a stupid secret, do you?

He begs not to tell anyone and pays up.

That's what he does.

Ms. Jang.

I found something.

The night Oh Yu-jin died,

Jung Su-bin went out to dinner with people at work.

This isn't enough.

It's not a definite alibi.

You said that Song Jung-ah is watching you like a hawk.

What are you going to do?

But I sent a message to the one who posted this.

Ms. Jang.

ASSISTANT MANAGER JANG MI-HO

It wasn't my husband.

Are you here to repeat what you told me yesterday?

Hwang Ji-ye.

She told you that she saw Su-bin on the 10th floor, right?

My husband told me the opposite.

How much do you trust her?

Have a look

and see who's more suspicious.

CERTIFICATE OF REAL ESTATE REGISTRATION

She went way over her budget to purchase her place.

From installment payments to interest,

she probably paid several million won to the bank every month.

So she took out an additional loan from the second financial sector.

You work at a bank,

so you know what happens when someone pays loans with loans.

I heard that she asked Sung-hee to buy her place recently.

Even with all this,

do you know how she lives?

Are you telling me this

to get me to suspect Hwang Ji-ye instead of Jung Su-bin?

Su-bin doesn't have any motive.

There's no proof that he was blackmailed by Oh Yu-jin either.

You know.

The reason for most crimes are either love affairs, revenge or money.

I want the entire amount in cash.

-You brought your stamp? -Yes.

DGB BANK

Hello.

CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT TRAINING FOR EXCELLENT WM EMPLOYEES

ANOTHER HAPPY DAY TODAY

JUST BECAUSE I AM HAPPY AND BEAUTIFUL

WITH MY SWEETIE IN MY COOL CAR

It does seem strange.

MY OFFICE LOOK

People do change, but it seems suspicious that she's changed now.

I know Song Jung-ah told me this with an ulterior motive,

but I shouldn't just disregard it.

But you see,

whether it's Jung Su-bin or Hwang Ji-ye, if one of them is the killer,

why did Kang Do-jun cover for them?

NEW POSTING

I'm here at the head office for training.

But it's actually to encourage excellent employees.

Excellent WM employee in derivative product sales.

In front of the classroom on the 15th floor.

I have to go to the 15th floor.

I can't tell you the secret to being No.1 in sales.

-Please tell me. -Please. I'll tell you mine too.

Ji-ye, I talked to my husband and we decided to buy it.

I'll wire you the deposit right away.

The door is closing.

Ma'am, why were the VIP Office managers gathered here?

You know the derivative products that started early this year?

It closed last Friday and they came up with the sales performance.

They invited those with top sales to reward them.

Do you know Ms. Hwang Ji-ye from Shindang Station branch?

I think she was here today.

Of course. She won first place in the Gangseo area.

I think she sold about three billion won to individual clients.

She signed up a few hundred million won for herself too.

YU-JIN'S CLOTHES

Shit!

I'm leaving.

What are you up to these days?

What about the kids?

I'll take them once I'm done.

They need their father right now.

What if they end up getting hurt mentally?

And what about me? I told my residents I'd be back right after the funeral.

How many weeks has it been?

Even now, work comes first, doesn't it?

You care about your grandchildren,

but what about me?

I too

am about to get hurt mentally.

Do-jun!

Dad!

I think she sold about three billion won to individual clients.

She signed up a few hundred million won for herself too.

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

KANG BONG-SEOK (YU-JIN'S FATHER-IN-LAW)

Ms. Jang.

Are you free today?

Put on your seat belts.

I'll call you.

Here we go.

485-77 BRILLANT, SEOYOUNG-DONG, BANNAE-GU, SEOUL

I sent a message to the one

who left a comment about Su-bin marrying into money.

The male escort club...

She told me where Su-bin used to work, but we won't be able to go today, right?

Probably not.

Let's go.

-I'm hungry. -Let's eat as soon as we get home.

What are we going to eat?

What do you want to eat?

My ball!

Here you go.

Here we are.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Can't we eat spaghetti?

-Let's go. -Spaghetti.

Let's go inside.

I'll make you super yummy spaghetti.

We don't have spaghetti at home.

It's all right. We can go to Su-bin's old workplace tomorrow.

We can go there anytime. It's not that.

I'm just worried that the kids might think they're a burden.

It's late. Go home.

HWANG JI-YE

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Do I need a reason for coming to my own house?

The kids are asleep.

Auntie.

-Daddy! -Ji-yul.

How have you been, Ji-yul?

Daddy!

Ha-yul! My sweet Ha-yul.

-How have you been? -Good.

-Have you missed me? -Yes.

Ji-yul, Ha-yul. It's me. Open the door.

I can't come in.

No. We want to sleep with Daddy.

Go away.

Girls, it's me.

Daddy!

-Daddy! -Let's sleep together tonight!

DRAW UNLOCK PATTERN

INCORRECT PATTERN DRAWN

See you there tomorrow. Let's settle this ASAP.

And we must take this case to the grave.

-Did you read it? -No.

Do you even know what I'm asking about?

Then what are you asking about?

What are you doing?

Everyone cherishes their lives

and has so much to protect.

And I believe it's the same for you.

Are you threatening me?

Do you want to know what a real threat is like?

The kids are asleep.

Daddy.

Ji-yul, you're awake?

Why did you wake up?

SEONGJEON CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCT GUIDE

07:00 AM WAKE UP

Are you done building it?

This is the roof.

This is the roof.

-Where's your dad? -He left earlier.

DGB FINANCIAL GROUP

An accomplice?

Jeez.

You should've called me immediately when it happened last night.

Lower your voice.

I knew it.

I told you last time.

If either Jung Su-bin or Hwang Ji-ye is the killer,

why did Kang Do-jun protect them?

There wasn't a reason.

-They were in on it together. -Right.

"See you there tomorrow."

"Let's settle this ASAP." I'm sure it's about money.

"Taking this case to the grave" refers to Oh Yu-jin's case for sure.

I still need to see it with my own eyes.

Whether it's Jung Su-bin or Ms. Hwang, I must see them meet with Kang Do-jun.

What are you planning to do?

Follow them?

You're crazy.

Which one?

You didn't come to work today. Where are you?

APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE

Did Jung Su-bin come out?

No. I've been waiting for three hours.

This might've been all for nothing.

-It's Ms. Hwang. -What?

Come to the main gate. They're both headed that way.

RESERVED

-Where are you? -Over here!

Ms. Hwang's cab is about to turn right.

What should I do?

The reason for most crimes are either love affairs, revenge or money.

I think she sold about three billion won to individual clients.

She signed up a few hundred million won for herself too.

Turn right.

Jung Su-bin, where are you?

Call me as soon as you read this.

What are you doing? Why aren't you answering my calls?

I'll kill you if you don't call me within an hour.

FIND WHO

APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE JUNG SU-BIN, SONG JUNG-AH

I'll get out here.

Ms. Jang. But...

What are you doing here?

Have you gone mad?

What's up with you two?

What did you two scheme?

It wasn't the two of us. Just one.

She's the killer.

You bastard! Don't lie!

I saw everything!

You're quite chatty for someone who's about to go to jail.

Should I reveal everything here?

Should I?

Sir, what's going on here?

Ms. Hwang!

Where are you going? We're not done talking.

Do you want to take the blame for everything?

It wasn't me.

It really wasn't.

That's why you must go tell the police. Tell them what happened that night.

I can't say anything.

No. I won't say anything. So please...

Please leave me out of it.

Leave me out of it and find proof that Kang Do-jun is the killer.

What kind of nonsense is that?

You opened the locker, right? B-19.

There was Ji-yul's drawing in the locker.

Look into it. That's evidence.

-Okay? -Ms. Hwang.

Let go of her!

Ms. Hwang.

Ms. Hwang!

Ms. Hwang!

2022.12.20 FIFTEEN DAYS AFTER OH YU-JIN'S DEATH

Let's start with 200 million.

You didn't call the police.

-That means you're an accomplice. -What are you talking about?

Have you forgotten?

I have that thing.

I can pay you.

But I won't go down alone.

You better think carefully whether you have a secret to hide too.

Fuck!

All that's left is to leave this country. Do you want everything to be revealed?

You want to get on that plane, don't you?

Don't you?

DELETE "FIND WHO"

Why did you come back?

I'm sorry, Jung-ah.

I'm sorry.

I don't need money. I can always earn it again.

I...

I must've been out of my mind.

Don't ever forgive me.

Why didn't you just run off with the money?

How would I live without you?

Don't be absurd.

You were in love with Oh Yu-jin.

No matter what you blackmail him with, I'll never dump him.

Even after what I tell you?

So tell me the truth.

What else is there?

I won't make a deal with you.

I'll do it with Jang Mi-ho.

You idiot.

You think Jang Mi-ho can afford to pay you as much as you want?

I'll pay you, so tell me.

Jung Su-bin, that bastard...

He was in love with Oh Yu-jin, so he chased after her.

What?

2022.12.03 TWO DAYS BEFORE OH YU-JIN'S DEATH

I'd like to explain how I feel again.

On December 5th at 8:00 p.m.,

I'll be waiting for you at the B3 parking lot.

Even the love letter sounded so desperate.

On the day that Oh Yu-jin died,

he was waiting for her alone in the parking lot.

Get a grip, sis.

It was...

It was just a fleeting feeling.

Please don't tell Jung-ah.

I'll do anything you want.

I'll do anything,

so please...

Try not to be caught.

So what are we from now on?

What do you mean?

I mean, we just...

How ridiculous.

Why would I be anything to someone like you?

Don't read too much into it. I just did it for fun.

If you weren't Jung-ah's husband, I wouldn't have done something like this.

I don't know if you'll believe me,

but I waited for Oh Yu-jin that night because...

Because...

I wanted to tell her

that it was a mistake.

How can I believe you?

You don't have to.

Do you want a divorce?

No, I don't.

Su-bin.

I don't abandon my people that easily.

BANNAE POLICE STATION

The person you've called is unavailable.

HWANG JI-YE

They both accused each other.

They were both there,

so they both had something to do with Yu-jin's death.

Isn't this enough to indict them both as accomplices?

Well...

It's enough for me to talk to Ms. Hwang.

Thank you.

Don't get your hopes up though.

The case is officially closed,

so there's so much I can do on my own.

That's okay. Please do this for me.

Did So-won's mom come by already?

No, not yet.

Thank you. Let's go.

Ji-yul.

So-won.

-Why are you denying it now? -Me?

You told me to look into the drawing.

That it's proof that Kang Do-jun is the killer.

I never said such a thing.

Are you done now?

Let's go, So-won.

Ms. Hwang.

What are you doing?

Do you want us to fight in front of the kids?

Let's go.

Auntie.

You opened the locker, right? B-19.

There was Ji-yul's drawing in the locker.

Look into it. That's evidence.

Ji-yul, can you come here for a second?

Why?

I won't take long. Help me with something.

What is it?

Did you draw this?

Yes.

May I ask what you drew?

Family.

Our family.

-Why did you draw... -I don't know.

Mom told me not to draw something bad.

Family?

Did you see what Min-sung drew?

-Yes. -He's so good.

Maybe we should think about some art lessons...

Excuse me.

Who is it?

Mr. Park.

Yes, Mr. Park?

APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE

OH YU-JIN

Just wait.

I'll find it, no matter what.

That wench's weakness.

MARILYN

OH YU-JIN

You've been digging into other people's secrets

when you have a dirty secret like this?

If this gets out,

it'll all be over for you.

I won't stand back and do nothing.

I hope you're prepared to protect

what you cherish the most.

Aren't you going to wash up?

I'm stepping out for a bit.

Hi. I'm Lili.

You're Susie.

Oh, sorry.

I'm Susie. What are you doing?

I'm on the way to school. What about you?

I'm drawing.

It's just me and my mom

in my family.

Should I draw a ribbon on her head?

Yes, and a jewel too.

Do you want to draw too? How many people are in your family?

I can't. Mom told me not to draw.

It's okay. Your mom isn't here right now.

Let's draw together.

I won't tell anyone.

There are four of us in the family.

Mom,

Dad, Ha-yul and me.

Ji-yul.

There are four of you in your family, Ji-yul.

Why did you draw five people?

I can't tell you. I was told that it's a secret.

Who told you that?

Mom.

I won't tell anyone.

Tell me.

Mom said...

She's an angel.

we have

an older sister.

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

There are four of you in your family. Why did you draw five people?

Mom said

we have an older sister.

I don't know her.

Please go to the police and tell them the truth.

Are you crazy?

Detective, Yu-jin's cause of death was excessive bleeding, right?

Would she be saved

if she was transferred to the hospital sooner?

If you don't tell me whatever you're supposed to,

you could be an accomplice, not a witness.

Do you ever imagine

how the complicity is shallow?

Does your boss know what you're after?

UNIT 1004 CRAZY BITCH

Hey, what are you doing?

-Wait. -Get off me!

I guess you need it.

Are you Mr. Lee Tae-ho?

Yes, I am.
