BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

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

I'm not 100% certain either.

But considering the time and circumstances,

this girl must be Yu-jin's daughter.

UNIT 1004. CRAZY...

PREVIOUSLY

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Are they your only kids? You're my mom, too.

So why do you only live with them? What about me?

In order to get people's attention,

she posted things about seeing men for money.

I think Kang Do-jun used that to approach Ju-a.

And Yu-jin must've found out about it.

She went way over her budget to purchase her place.

From installment payments to interest,

SEND

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

Yu-jin hired a man to have Kang Do-jun killed.

Kang Do-jun thinks I have it...

because I blackmailed him with it.

A USB.

That USB contains information about the details.

Kang Do-jun thinks I have it...

because I blackmailed him with it.

So tell me. What is it?

If I tell you, will you...

Will you tell the police that I am a witness, not an accomplice?

I will.

A USB.

Yu-jin hired a man to have Kang Do-jun killed.

That USB contains information about the details.

I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.

2022.12.04 A DAY BEFORE YU-JIN'S DEATH

Gathering other moms' secrets on her USB and blackmailing them...

It's wrong.

So? What do you want from me?

You can steal it from her.

Why would I do that? I don't even know where it is.

I saw it.

I saw Yu-jin put that USB in the public locker with a sketchbook.

It was black and long.

Wait.

Black?

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

You said on December 2nd, right?

Yes.

He'll arrive in Cebu the day before.

As per this recording,

we have agreed to the work to be done on Mr. Kang Do-jun.

RECORDING

Let's make an exchange.

Get the black USB from the locker.

Then I will somehow find the silver USB and hand it over.

Damn it.

What's going on?

Did he beat me to it?

2022.12.05 THE DAY OF OH YU-JIN'S DEATH

-What if someone sees you? -It's urgent.

-The locker... -Where's the USB?

The black one.

Did you bring it?

I did steal it. But I didn't bring it with me.

Give me the silver USB first.

That was the deal.

ooo_yoojin made a new post

It's just me and my husband tonight.

The kids are camping for the night,

so we will spend a quiet night together.

Now tell me.

How are you planning to kill me?

Don't be ridiculous!

You don't think I know? Tell me the truth!

What are you talking about? Get a grip.

I'm going crazy here. I am.

-Why are you? Just stop! -I'm going crazy!

JANG MI-HO

You horrify me.

I want you dead.

God damn it!

You brought this on yourself.

You dirty bastard.

How could you do that to Ju-a?

How could you?

You're a piece of trash.

You're worse than a dog!

You!

You're the piece of trash here.

You thought I didn't know that you hired a man to kill me?

Yu-jin hired a hit man?

From what I heard, it was because of a girl named Ju-a.

Yu-jin went ballistic asking him how he could do such a thing to Ju-a.

Where are you going?

Come here! Hey!

Yu-jin really tried

to kill Kang Do-jun?

Then...

Then why did Yu-jin die that night?

What on earth happened?

The black USB...

KANG DO-JUN

If you tell her that,

your daughter will die.

What else was on that black USB?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

What's wrong with you? You were about to tell me something.

You should go. Go.

Ms. Hwang.

-That was from Kang Do-jun, right? -I told you to leave.

-Ms. Hwang! -Just go!

-Ms. Hwang. -Just go.

Ms. Hwang. Wait.

-Ms. Hwang. -Please go. Go.

Ms. Hwang, wait.

Ms. Hwang!

Open the door, Ms. Hwang.

What else was on that USB?

Ms. Hwang!

A USB.

Kang Do-jun thinks I have it.

EPISODE 15

I'm not lying.

I really need it for my clinic.

You're not up to no good, right?

Everything will be fine once I find it.

I'll move back home too, so don't worry.

Let's hurry.

Where on earth is it?

It's not here.

-Let's clean up. -Okay.

Put these away.

Have fun in class.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay.

Take it.

It's a mistress compensation lawsuit.

It kept being returned when I sent it to your house.

Go ahead and keep getting a new job.

Every time you do, I'll come see you like this with these lawsuit papers.

Goodbye.

You don't have to go this far.

I thought I was pregnant, but I'm not.

You knew?

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?

Then why are you doing this?

Aren't you pregnant?

Then stay married to him and live happily.

How dare...

How dare you say that?

I will make sure

you remember what you've done

for many years to come.

Just you wait.

Oh, and...

Be sure to meet a nice man and get married.

So that I crush that marriage.

You think you're all that?

Lee Tae-ho thought you were terrible.

He never really loved you.

In the end, you're just a divorcee too.

You think you'll be happy raising two kids by yourself?

FROM KIM NA-YOUNG

MAIL SERVICE

TO: LAWYER JUNG HAE-DAM

A BILL OF INDICTMENT

ACCUSER: KIM NA-YOUNG DEFENDANT: LEE TAE-HO

Aren't you pregnant?

Then stay married to him and live happily.

MATERNITY HANDBOOK

Hey, wait.

Would you like to have a cup of tea?

There is such a thing as lawyers' ethics.

My husband defended Jang Mi-ho for Yu-jin's case,

and now he's advising Kang Do-jun.

I should have him punished.

I'm sure Jang Mi-ho will testify for me.

It'll be difficult with child support alone.

Are you planning to work?

Yes.

I don't want to rely on my dad again.

Why don't you work for my company?

-What? -You can work from home too.

It won't be hard to learn the job.

You worked in this field before you got married.

You're not hiring new employees?

I'm trying to, but I haven't found the right people yet.

But why me?

Things weren't always good between us.

Right now, I need someone who's been with me before.

Even if that's me?

Think about it. I'll give you time.

I'll do it.

If you're okay with it, I want to do it.

I'm a victim, not a mistress.

Hello. I am Jo A-ra

who is known as a mistress of Lee Tae-ho from law firm Bulhwi.

I feel wronged. I'm a victim, not a mistress.

When we first met at my kindergarten,

he told me that he was there to pick up his niece.

But it was his daughter, not his niece.

DR. KANG DO-JUN

Yes?

Let's meet.

Now's not a good time.

Hey.

It seems you got caught cheating and kicked out.

Then shouldn't you find a way to survive?

Besides, you know that you violated the lawyers' act, right?

If you ignore me once more,

I won't stop at ruining your career.

What? Hey. Hey...

Oh, come on!

Damn it.

It frustrates me to think

I've been fooled by that woman Hwang Ji-ye.

That means...

Yu-jin definitely took that USB back.

But I don't know where it is.

Did you look everywhere?

Seeing how things are quiet, the police don't have it.

I already searched the house.

Keepsake box, private storage...

I searched everywhere,

but I didn't find it.

Seeing how I wasn't able to find it until now,

she might've gotten rid of it.

Do you really think Oh Yu-jin got rid of it?

You're too complacent.

Gathering evidence one by one

and stabbing you in the back at once, that's those women's MO.

But I looked everywhere.

Is there anyone other than Hwang Ji-ye who would know about the USB?

Someone else could've seen it.

Let's see what my daughter's drawing.

Did you know that Ji-yul watched the video?

Let me borrow your car. Where is it?

-What for? -Where did you park it?

Near the entrance in B4.

MS. DALMATIAN

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Hello, ma'am. How are you? My girls...

Ji-yul is in school, right?

A black USB.

I was wondering if the police took it.

I don't think so.

But I'll check.

What is this about?

It might have something to do with this case.

HERINITY ASSISTANT TEACHER PARK CHAE-RI

Let me call you back, Detective.

-Hello, Ms. Park. -Hello, Ms. Jang.

I called to tell you...

Where are we going, Dad?

We're going home, right?

Yes. Hold on.

Mr. Kang took the girls just now.

What?

I wasn't going to call you, but I did just in case.

No, you can't let him take the girls.

Where did he take them?

Why don't we take a break here real quick?

Have a seat, Ji-yul.

Ji-yul, have you seen it?

Seen what?

Dad, let's go home.

You know...

Let's go.

You have to eat kimchi. If you do...

Let's go home, Dad.

Yes, we will.

Buy me a toy and cards before we do.

All right, I will.

Mi-ho.

I thought she went back to work.

-I know. Why is she... -This is great.

Ask her. You want your ex-husband to be punished.

Min-sung even has a gold card.

Really? How many?

Ha-yul, play on your own for now.

Ji-yul, why don't we go talk?

I told their aunt that you took the girls.

I hope you'll discuss it in advance from now on to avoid any misunderstanding.

Damn it.

Ji-yul, you know what a USB is, right?

Didn't Mom have a black USB?

It's Auntie!

Ha-yul.

Stay here, Ha-yul.

-What are you doing with the girls? -Mind your own business.

I don't know what it is, but leave the kids out of it.

You...

Who are you to tell me what to do?

Let's talk elsewhere.

I have nothing to say to you.

Come here.

Come here, Ha-yul.

Let them go. You're scaring them. Leave them out of it.

-Move. -Please stop.

Please let go of them.

Get out of my way!

Come here!

Come here.

Could you look after the girls for a minute?

Let go of them.

Let's talk inside.

Are you all right?

Who do you think you are?

I am their father.

You have no right to do this.

What kind of father treats his children like that?

You're taking them because you're up to something.

You... Who are you to tell me what kind of father I am?

Are you looking down on me?

Will she be all right?

No.

Go ahead with the girls.

I'll go check on her.

Okay. Let's go.

You think I'll give up if you threaten me like this?

But I'm not scared of a man like you.

This is all you know how to do.

Shut up!

Shit!

If you keep this up, I might actually kill you.

You did this to Yu-jin too, didn't you?

What a loser.

You think I'd be intimidated by a loser like you?

Why do you look down on me?

Why?

Shit!

Die!

Mi-ho!

Are you all right?

Don't go.

I'll turn it into a dessert cafe full of fragrance.

Cherry is full of energy today.

She's about to smash the whole place down.

Once you're done...

How could he lose it like that so suddenly?

You saw how he treated the girls too.

Be careful.

You could really end up in trouble.

It's quite late, so let the girls spend the night here.

Tomorrow let's go to the police after dropping them off at school.

We can't let this slide.

Auntie.

I need to use the bathroom.

You were scared, weren't you?

I'm sorry.

Where's Dad?

He's...

When he was buying us toys,

he told us that you're not our real aunt.

Are you not our real aunt?

That's not true. I am your real aunt.

What else did he tell you?

That we must stay together because we're family.

He asked about it too.

The USB that made Mom sad every time she looked at it.

The sparkling USB?

No, not that.

A long, black one.

What did he ask you?

Ji-yul, you know what a USB is, right?

Didn't Mom have a black USB?

Remember the day you went camping at school?

Did you see the USB that day too?

Kang Ji-yul.

You think I don't know about you going through Mom's things?

I saw it in the master bedroom drawer.

That's what she went to get.

The black USB was really in the master bedroom drawer?

Thanks. Let's go.

I need to go to Yu-jin's place. Will you please watch the girls?

Is something wrong?

I just need to check something.

I'll be right back.

It definitely wasn't inside the house.

Where are you going?

Come here! Hey!

He said they fought.

Then...

Then the girls' room.

Lastly, the balcony.

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

Could she have survived if someone called 911 right away?

Possibly.

I wonder what was more important than her life.

CALL JANG MI-HO

What? You have something more to say?

I got lost just like you told me to.

Help me.

No one else can know.

Oh Yu-jin.

Yu-jin. Oh Yu-jin.

Is something wrong?

Help me.

You know the code.

What Yu-jin wanted to hide giving up her own life.

True happiness.

What she wanted to protect giving up her life.

Fake happiness.

Damn it.

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

You said on December 2nd, right?

Yes.

He'll arrive in Cebu the day before.

As per this recording,

we have agreed to the work to be done on Mr. Kang Do-jun.

No.

No. I won't do it.

Pardon?

I must've been crazy.

I won't do it. I won't.

I won't.

I was just too angry.

I...

I thought I was going crazy.

I won't do it. I won't.

I won't do it. I won't.

He'll arrive in Cebu the day before.

As per this recording,

we have agreed to the work to be done on Mr. Kang Do-jun.

Why are you playing this to me?

I thought you should know.

That your wife is capable of doing such a thing.

What do you say?

Will you let it slide?

Fine, then.

Kill her for me.

You!

You're the piece of trash here.

You thought I didn't know that you hired a man to kill me?

What about you?

You think that hit man didn't tell me what you did?

You don't even have the guts to kill me yourself.

Die!

I'll kill you!

Let go of me!

Come here.

Come here!

Why is it so hard to reach you?

Did something happen?

Jin-seop.

I'll be right over.

Okay.

Mi-ho is taking too long, isn't she?

KANG DO-JUN

I'm sorry about earlier.

I was too worked up.

And I wanted to tell you that I'm with a girl named Ju-a.

That's bullshit.

What are you up to this time?

B3 parking lot.

KANG DO-JUN

Ju-a!

Ju-a!

Detective. The underground parking lot...

Where's Ju-a?

Where is she?

I briefly left her with someone.

-Where? -Come with me.

We need to talk too.

What are you doing?

The USB.

Detective. The underground parking lot...

The person you have called is unavailable.

Please leave a message...

It's still turned off?

Yes.

Did you find her?

I went to the office, the parking lot and even the storage room. She's not there.

Shouldn't we call the police?

But she hasn't gone missing for that long.

Maybe we are overly worried.

Die!

No.

I think something happened to her.

Let's go to the office and check the cameras.

Isn't this kidnapping?

Let's go to the police station.

The person you have called...

-Why isn't she answering? -Hey.

Please leave a message...

Are you here to see Jang Mi-ho?

Yes.

-Where is she? -You talked to her?

Sir.

I know how this looks to you.

But you can't judge it by this video clip only.

This man is the husband and the suspect in the Bannae-dong murder case,

and Mi-ho has been digging into what he has done.

This might be a real kidnapping.

He tried to strangle her and assaulted her.

He could've done worse things.

That's not something we can easily judge.

PROTECTING AND SERVING OUR COMMUNITY

If you want to report him, write down a description of him

and the summary of the incident, and wait a bit longer.

In case of adults, 90% of the time, they are found drunk.

BANNAE LOCAL POLICE

What do we do now? What if something happens to Ms. Jang?

What should we do, Jung-ah?

Where are you going?

I must do something or go somewhere. I can't just do nothing.

Moving without a plan won't work. We have to think.

Should I just sit still and do nothing then?

We should look for Kang Do-jun's car.

That's not even his car. It's my husband's. You don't...

Right... Yes.

Let's go.

-What? -I'll explain later.

Let's go. Hurry.

Yes.

Turn off all security cameras

in the parking lot, elevators and inside the hospital.

A VIP feels uncomfortable about it.

Yes, please.

I admit. I was too complacent.

I guess I wanted to believe that Hwang Ji-ye had it.

I commend you for being persistent.

Wow. How did you find it, by the way?

You really are something.

You don't seem all that surprised.

But then, you don't need to worry too much.

I'll let you go if everything goes well.

You will?

Don't be ridiculous.

All this happened because of this.

Once I get rid of this, I'll let you go.

Sorry about that.

Are you all right?

Anyway, you're not curious about where I'm taking you?

Would you tell me if I asked?

You'll see when we get there.

The person you have called is unavailable.

What is it? What has been keeping your mind occupied?

She didn't finish her sentence. And her cell is turned off.

Find out where her phone was turned off.

What are you doing?

Please let me be with you.

God damn it!

I better change my plan.

We die together.
