[theme music playing]

[music ends]

[Rex employee] I see you currently live in Apgujeong-dong.

Could you tell me again how old you are?

I'm 21. I'm a sophomore.

Uh, and you want to get married already?

I want my daughter to date someone special.

I want her to meet someone of the same status.

So I guess we should change direction if the world keeps moving like this.

There's nothing wrong with preparing ahead of time.

Money is power, after all.

INFLOW ROUTES OF MEMBERS BY AGE

We've seen a significant increase in female members.

It seems there's a rumor going around that Mr. Lee is a client.

Even our female members in their 20s want to be with him

and don't care that he's been married before.

These are young women

who've grown up witnessing and understanding their social class

is determined by who their father is.

But now, it can change based on their husbands.

[woman] If that's the case, to encourage more new memberships,

wouldn't we want to showcase Mr. Lee as a potential suitor?

What a terrific idea.

Rex's programs could be sampled.

Just like you would try food in a grocery store.

Rex is a secret fortress that was primarily built on class and privacy.

And each one of you is defending that fortress alongside me.

Ms. Hwang, our director.

Our manager, Ms. Kim.

And our other manager, Ms. Han.

You're aware that I have the highest expectations for you all.

Is that clear to you?

[secretary] Ms. Choi.

Do you think any of this makes sense to you?

Why would he keep letting her into his home

even when I told him to watch out for her?

That is true. It's a bit more worrying than we expected, isn't it?

What if instead,

you thought about being introduced to someone else?

That may be our best option to resolve this for you.

No.

Shouldn't you be trying to find a way to make this happen?

Jin Yoo-hui.

Let's be honest with each other, shall we?

Is there another reason that you are fixed on this obsession with Mr. Lee?

If your goal is to simply marry a Black Level member,

then I could easily match you with any other person you wish.

[sighs]

Like some old man?

Who else would there be for me?

No.

I'm going to have the most undeniably perfect family with the perfect husband.

And I will…

make sure she sees it.

[music builds, ends]

Ma'am, next time you need a car, give me a call.

-Oh yeah. -Thank you.

-[car door shuts] -[engine turns over]

Where can you move to by selling your car?

What else can I do? I'm not just going to let that woman win.

A small studio if I have to.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Yoo-hui breathing heavily] -[Hye-seung grunts]

I told you never to come back. Didn't you understand me?

So tell me, do you really think that you have a chance when going against me?

I don't know how much you have left in you,

but I have the one fatal bullet that I can put through your head.

-[chuckles] -Your life is now in my hands.

Why wouldn't I destroy you?

It never works the way you want it.

So no, Hyung-ju will never be yours.

You're wrong.

Lee Hyung-ju will eventually be on his knees just like you will.

[Yoo-hui exhales]

Just like your husband.

[both breathing heavily]

Don't try to kid yourself.

You must really think that you're so special, don't you?

But we both know all of those men were just following their desires.

They…

only briefly wanted your body,

and couldn't care less about you.

Enough!

You little…

[door opens]

[Myeong-u sighs]

Why do you keep coming back? I have nothing to say.

Sir, listen, please let me ask you one more time.

[sighs]

You should already know that your word is far more important

than what anyone else can say.

Far more than my own.

[sighs]

Don't you know whose fault it is that you're in here suffering like this?

This is all because of Jin Yoo-hui.

Just like my husband,

you were also a victim who was used by that woman for her own gain.

Do you know what Jin Yoo-hui is trying to do right now?

Trying to find another rich man as if nothing had happened to you at all.

[chuckles]

So please, help me.

[sighs]

You should go.

You really think I want to rot in here even longer

because I'm accused of perjury?

Sir, please wait!

[exhales]

[cell door slams shut]

-Are you all packed up? -Not yet, there's a little left.

But mom, what's this? I think it's Dad's.

It's nothing really.

Get rid of what you can. We won't have enough room for it all.

[doorbell chimes]

Oh, Young-Seo, come in. The door's already open.

[Yoo-hui] You have to be gone by tomorrow.

-[dramatic sting] -So, did you happen to find a new home?

This is still my house for today. Get out.

Hey, I didn't want to resort to this either.

It's not too late to give up your pride and beg me to let you stay.

Did you hear me? Get out now!

[Min-ji] Mom?

[chuckles] Hello again.

It really is a shame.

If your mother had just stayed quiet, you probably could have kept living here.

What, Mom? Is she the one who's kicking us out of our house?

Min-ji, go to your room.

Give me a call. I'll let you have until the end of today.

Hold on! Why do you keep doing this to us?

How can you call yourself human?

Fine. Step on us all you want. I'll let you do it for now.

But, when I grow up, I'm gonna make you pay for it.

I will never forgive you till the day I die.

I guess you do have something that still matters.

What do you mean by that?

I'm saying you should…

protect what's precious.

[Hye-seung inhales]

[dramatic music playing]

[door shuts]

[inhales]

[dramatic sting]

-[car door shuts] -[engine turns over]

Hye-seung.

-What are you doing here? -Oh, mister.

Oh, Min-ji.

Have you packed up already?

Jin Yoo-hui put our house up for sale, and she's kicking us out.

What are we supposed to do now? [inhales]

[Min-ji sobbing]

It's okay. Don't worry about it. You don't have to move.

[sighs] This place is mine now.

How?

What do you mean by that?

Oh yeah.

I paid off what you owed and bought back your apartment.

[gentle music playing]

Here.

What are you doing? Start unpacking.

[gentle music continues]

Min-ji seemed to have been really surprised.

I hope I didn't offend you.

No, I'm just embarrassed.

I can't even refuse.

I'm in no position to protect what's left of my pride.

I'll pay you back as soon as I can.

Thank you very much.

You don't have to talk to me like that.

You can now rest easy.

I'm taking off.

[exhales]

They did what?

So that's why their eviction was cancelled yesterday?

[sighs]

All right, then. Thank you.

[sighs]

[dramatic music building]

Really persistent, aren't you?

[knocks on door]

Mr. Lee.

-Oh, what's up? -Sir. [chuckles]

-How are you, sir? -Uh…

Why are you so surprised? So happy to see her? [chuckles]

Ms. Jin joined our company recently.

She's been helping us with the Action Blitz acquisition.

-I'll do all I can to support you then. -[chuckles]

Look at all her energy, right? [chuckles]

Huh.

Very reassuring.

Please, take a seat.

-Go ahead, sit. -[Ho-chan] Mm-hmm.

-Uh, Hyung-ju. -Yeah?

Ms. Jin wanted me to give this to you.

Does this mean there's something wrong?

[Ho-chan] Oh no, nothing like that.

She's made some good points. She'll tell you about it.

[inhales]

And with that, I'm heading out. I've got a meeting.

-You have to go? -[Ho-chan] Mm-hmm.

-See you at the office. -Bye.

-See you later. -Yeah.

[door opens, shuts]

Ah, please take a look.

Yeah.

You've provided a very keen analysis.

I never even considered anything like this.

Hibull is as important to me as it is to you.

If you overlook a trap like that,

then you'll be left with bigger problems later on.

Then I better get moving with acquisition before people start talking about it.

Oh, of course.

I owe you once again. Thank you so much.

It's quite alright.

How about you pay me back with a meal, then?

[gentle music playing faintly]

I was surprised to see Ms. Seo at your house the other day.

I thought for sure she wouldn't be there.

You know that rumor you told me about? The one where she's targeting men.

I realized it was entirely baseless.

So I don't know where you heard that accusation from,

but Ms. Seo is a kind person.

By any chance, are you interested in her?

She's just my son's tutor. Nothing more.

Mr. Lee wants to marry a trophy wife.

So you're saying I'm not a trophy to him?

What did Jung Mi-jin promise to give you in return?

No matter who it is, if I set my mind to it

I can destroy them regardless of what they offer you.

Ms. Choi.

Support me instead.

I can give you so much more.

Should we just lay everything out on the table right now?

How many women are you considering as potential wives?

What are you asking me?

I'm saying that I would prefer if we had feelings for each other,

but it's okay if that's not the case for you.

Don't you think that someone like me

would even have a chance at being your wife?

I know that if we were married, I'd be capable of supporting you.

Oh.

If I'm being honest, I have no plans to marry just yet.

And I didn't intend on becoming a member of Rex either.

But you will have to choose someone eventually to marry, right?

I would like you to know

that I'll be waiting at the very front of that line for you.

[cell phone vibrating]

Hello, Mr. Park.

[exhales] I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do dinner tonight.

I signed up for those Executive Courses. So I should be going now.

Yeah, I can call you later.

-[knocks on door] -[door opens, shuts]

The opening address for the Executive Courses

begins at five today.

May I ask why you need it?

Show me Jin and Lee Hyung-ju.

They're going to have a family meeting together later.

Thank you very much, Ms. Hwang.

Our lecture on owner risk case studies and their countermeasures

will be delivered by Professor Jung Mi-jin.

[all applauding]

Our lecture on director foreign investment and risk management strategies

will be delivered by Professor Cha Seok-jin.

[all applauding]

Last but not least, we will receive a lecture

on Leadership in Mythology led by Professor Seo Hye-seung.

[all applauding]

To begin,

I will take everyone through a brief introduction

of the contents that make up our curriculum.

-I think it went well. -Yes.

[ominous music playing]

HANKUK UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL EXECUTIVE COURSES OPENING CEREMONY

It's funny all of us were at the masquerade party.

I was Zeus, actually.

[piano music playing]

[chuckles]

Did you two have a lot of fun watching me make a fool of myself?

-Uh… -Uh, no, of course not, Mr. Hermes.

Well, does it even matter? It's just nice that we're all here now together.

-It's great. -It is really great. Really great.

Well, we all know what brought us here tonight.

It's because our Professor Cha takes such good care of Professor Seo.

-Right. -I think you're misunderstanding.

Professor Seo was specifically asked to join to improve the lectures we have.

Oh, here I thought you were doting on your first love.

[Seok-jin chuckles]

You seem to have a lot of interest in me.

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic sting]

[Yoo-hui exhales]

Mr. Lee's in there. Why is that?

Let's find out.

[dramatic music playing]

Look who I ran into outside in the hallway.

When I told her Mr. Lee was here, she said that she had to see you.

What are you doing here?

I had a meeting with a client of mine.

[mutters] Ms. Aphrodite…

[Mi-jin scoffs]

How incredible is it that all of us who were at the same party

are now here together?

But what are you doing here, Ms. Seo Hye-seung?

Professor Seo was giving a special lecture on Mythology

to improve the quality of our lectures.

Hmm.

It seems like you really do wear a lot of hats, Ms. Seo.

That's only because my life has had a lot of twists and turns.

That's actually why I wanted to…

finally tell my story at the party.

Oh, I forgot. You couldn't because of Poseidon, right?

Oh.

What was your story about again? Something about some woman?

[Hye-seung] Looks like I have another chance to tell you all.

I had wanted to forget it because it's so painful.

But that woman

used to be my husband's coworker.

My husband was having an affair with her.

An affair?

[Hye-seung] He even asked me for a divorce because of how much he loved that woman.

But it turns out

she didn't actually love my husband.

Turns out that she only wanted to use him.

Couldn't this story be better told in a more private setting?

I don't think this is the right place for it.

Oh really? I think it's perfect.

[Seok-jin] Yeah, I agree.

It's not like we're out in public or anything, right?

Yeah. No, you're right.

So, then?

Then that woman…

was also at that party.

So wait, who is she supposed to be?

That woman is…

[dramatic music playing]

[music building]

[music ends abruptly]

…Ms. Jin Yoo-hui.

If I were to openly talk at all about that woman here,

could I end up facing any legal repercussions?

[dramatic sting]

You could potentially get sued for defamation, according to article 307.

Even if any of those accusations were true,

you could still face up to two years in prison time,

or a fine of up to five million won.

And if it's false, the punishment is much more severe.

You could face serious repercussions. Possibly up to five years of prison.

Ah. Is that so?

I'm glad that

I asked you about the repercussions, then.

[dramatic sting]

[classical music playing faintly]

Oh.

They have the same lectures, then.

[chuckles] Mr. Lee never said anything, so I have no idea.

That'll be very good.

They can see each other often while they're working.

Spending time together in person is always better.

Absolutely. [chuckles]

Since both of you are already here,

should I see if those two are free to meet up?

You should have told them the truth.

This isn't just you. It's Mr. Lee as well.

I know.

I really do want to be honest and say everything.

-But-- -Hye-seung.

I only wish that you would tell everyone for your own sake.

[Mi-jin] Yeah, Mom. We're just finishing.

Yeah. Okay, we'll be there.

Mr. Lee--

Did you know both of our mothers are having dinner in this hotel

right at this moment?

They want us to come downstairs together.

[classical music continues]

How are you enjoying your food, Mrs. Noh?

It's delicious.

-[knocks on door] -[door opens]

[exhales] Good evening, Mrs. Noh.

Are you here alone?

[Mi-jin exhales]

He said he had an urgent meeting to get to.

Hmm.

I think that Mr. Lee is trying to be thoughtful

so that you three can talk comfortably.

Ah, still.

He should not have.

MR. LEE

Ms. Seo.

-Are you on your way home? -Uh, yeah.

I'll give you a ride. Please, get in.

It's really fine. The bus is almost here.

-So what? Let's go. -[horn honks]

There's a car waiting. Jump in quickly.

[gentle music playing]

MOTHER

[cell phone chiming]

Mr. Lee, your mother's calling.

[exhales]

I don't want to talk to her right now.

[song fades out]

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for coming.

[Yoo-hui] Congratulations.

You can finally be who you truly are.

Ah.

Here you go.

I've always wanted to know who my father really is.

DNA EXAM RESULT REPORT

PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY: 99.9995%

[dramatic music playing]

When you said that it wasn't possible, I had hoped so too.

But look at that.

Some little peasant girl turned out to be the child of a married politician.

Won't this be quite the shock to your voters?

How did you even manage to talk to someone like that?

Do you know him well?

Mr. Ju.

Don't you dream of becoming a congressman?

[dramatic music building]

[music ends abruptly]

[Jun-ho] I got a perfect score in Korean. I'm first place in school.

-Amazing! -[chuckles]

That's incredible! You did such a great job! Up high!

[both chuckle]

[exhales] I'm so proud of you.

[cell phone vibrating]

Wanna tell her?

Not now.

The day

that I actually went to see my mom…

Hey, you're here.

…I found her with someone else.

A man.

Oh.

I'm sure that she had a good reason to be with him.

[Hyung-ju] Lee Jun-ho!

I heard you got the top score in your school. That's amazing!

-Nice work. -[Hye-seung chuckles]

You never said anything when I got perfect grades in math.

-This guy. -My grandson is an impressive young man.

And Ms. Seo didn't do too bad either. [chuckles]

Thank you for working so hard for us. [chuckles]

Dinners being prepared, so please stay and eat with us tonight.

-Oh. Okay. -[Mrs. Noh chuckles]

Thank you so much, Ms. Seo.

If there's any way that I can pay you back…

Jun-ho, should we let Ms. Seo come with us?

Can we, Dad?

[sentimental music playing]

[chuckles]

-[Min-ji] Mmm! -Do you like it?

Yeah, it's so good, Jun-ho.

Oh cool. [exhales]

[chuckles]

-[Min-ji chuckles] -Whoa!

-[Min-ji] Did I do it? -[Hye-seung] You did it! Good job!

Ah!

[Jun-ho groans]

Did you get hurt?

-[Hye-seung exhales] -[Jun-ho groans]

[Hye-seung] Let me see. [exhales]

-Is there a first aid kit somewhere? -Let me go check, all right?

Hey Jun-ho, you need to be more careful.

[Jun-ho sighs]

[Jun-ho groans]

It's okay.

[Jun-ho groans]

The bleeding seems to have stopped. Can you still feel it?

How deep was the wound?

This might take a while to heal.

Does it still sting?

-Hey, what are you doing? Come here. -Right.

[Jun-ho groans]

It's okay.

Now make sure it doesn't get wet, hmm?

I don't want it to get worse, so please be careful for me.

My goodness.

-That's going to hurt for a while. -[Jun-ho grunts]

[upbeat music playing]

[Min-ji] Uh, this, uh… Wait, so you have to do this?

[exhales]

It's been way too long since I saw Jun-ho laugh

this much with anyone.

[Hye-seung] It's the same for Min-ji.

Now that they're laughing, I feel like I can finally breathe.

[gentle music playing]

Oh!

Min-ji, this is a present from my dad.

What? Really? You're kidding!

Is this car really ours?

-Yep. -[Min-ji chuckles]

Thanks to your hard work, our Jun-ho has confidence.

So please, don't say no.

Mr. Lee, I can't accept.

[Min-ji] Whoa!

Whoa, this is amazing! [gasps]

Ms. Seo, please come check it out for yourself.

No.

I'm sorry, but your thanks is more than enough.

I was just doing my job.

Then…

why don't you at least keep it with you as long as you're still our tutor, okay?

Please go take her home, okay?

-Yes, sir. -Jun-ho.

-Ms. Seo, please come check out the car. -What? No.

-Come on, Ms. Seo. Ms. Seo, just get in. -[Min-ji] Come on, Mom. Get in!

-Look at this. -[Jun-ho] Just go look.

Come on, get in. Get in for me.

[engine turns over]

Min-ji must be happy to have Ms. Seo as her mom.

[gentle music playing]

Let's go. What do you want to eat?

[exhales]

MIN-JI: THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT FOOD TODAY!

SEOK-JIN: DID YOU LIKE IT? I ENJOYED MEETING YOU

[exhales]

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

[door slides open]

I won't set you up with anyone else.

I'm going to help you get the person that you truly want.

What are you talking about?

Soon you will come to realize that we can help each other

to achieve our goals.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hi, how are you?

I'm Jin Yoo-hui.

Oh yes. How are you? Please, come in.

You must be one of Mr. Ju's coworkers.

Did you just start?

[Yoo-hui] Yes, Mr. Ju had a meeting this morning.

So I came alone.

Ah, here you go. Here's the material I mentioned.

Take a seat.

[suspenseful music playing]

As a shareholder of Hibull,

I wanted to ensure you knew about the changes in shareholders.

Not to mention that I've been instructed to do so.

Yeah.

Well, I suppose it doesn't do any harm to know.

I probably shouldn't tell you, but Mr. Ju is very worried about Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee?

Oh, you didn't know that?

I guess he can't really tell you because they're friends.

But I think you should know everything about it,

seeing that you're Jun-ho's mother.

What is it?

I think there's a reason to be concerned about the woman tutoring Jun-ho right now.

There's talk that she intentionally approached Mr. Lee.

And that she's even beginning to act like Jun-ho's mother as well.

[dramatic music playing]

Thank you.

I understand.

[music building]

[music ends abruptly]

Welcome, Ms. Seo.

Please, follow me.

[classical music playing]

Hye-seung.

Please have a seat.

Since you already know each other, I'll skip the introduction.

I'll get right to it.

This is going to be your first official date

as two Rex members who have been matched by our system.

What are you saying?

Just so you know,

Professor Cha here is legally my son.

So I made sure to put a lot of thought into who he's dating

so he can meet the best woman for him.

What that means for you, Ms. Seo,

you are the one Rex member

that I trust the most out of all of our valued members.

[dramatic music playing]

What are you two doing here?

These two members are going on their first date.

Good for them.

I've always imagined that these two would be a perfect match together.

Are you two also out on a date tonight?

-Yes. -[Yoo-sun] How lovely.

Then I hope everyone has a wonderful time.

She did that on purpose.

I think Ms. Choi is nervous about my relationship to Mr. Lee,

since I'm still visiting Mr. Lee's home.

But I don't know why she would want to try to match me up with you.

Your father is going to hate this.

I knew that those two would get together in the end.

[chuckles]

The other professors always gossiped about it,

but apparently, those two were a pretty popular couple

back when they were in college.

Everyone thought that they would get married.

But then, Professor Cha left suddenly to go study abroad at Stanford.

[chuckles]

Don't you think it's strange, though?

That they just happened to reunite again at that party.

Is this what people refer to as "fate"?

So you had to move back to your father's place

because it was your mother's last wish.

That must have been really hard to do.

It was, at first.

Because everything my father owns used to be my mother's.

She told me to get it back from him.

[chuckles]

But Ms. Choi isn't…

an easy opponent.

-There's no way she'll just hand it over. -[Hye-seung] I know.

She won't be easy to fight.

Right now, I just don't know what's more important to me.

Even if I win the fight…

what would that mean for me?

Seok-jin.

I wish that you would have a happy life

where you don't need power or money.

You deserve to find happiness without all that burden.

Care for some coffee before you go?

No, I'm sorry. Min-ji's waiting for me at home.

Ah, I didn't think about that. Then I can give you a ride?

-It's all right. I drove my car. -Car?

Because of Jun-ho, Mr. Lee loaned me--

[Mi-jin] And we meet once again.

-Did you two have a lot to talk about? -Yeah.

We're actually taking off now.

[somber music playing]

We're leaving now too.

[elevator chimes]

Then, I guess we'll see you later.

[electronic voice] The doors are now closing.

I think those two look really great together.

If you are

interested in Mr. Lee, by any chance,

please don't.

You'll only get hurt.

If it wasn't for Jin Yoo, I wouldn't have a reason to.

So don't worry about that.

Why are you here?

It's been too long. I heard you've been having fun on all your dates.

-Jun-ho is coming with me. -What?

He's not answering any of my calls anymore.

Did you tell him to ignore me?

What are you talking about right now? Take Jun-ho where?

[Jung-in] You're seeing some girl.

Ah.

I'm guessing that's her.

This the tutor?

Aren't you embarrassed by your behavior in front of my child?

And you're a teacher?

I guess you're just using him long enough to get something nice out of him.

Come on, enough.

[gasps]

If you wanna play, at least have some class.

There are people watching you.

Have you finally lost your mind?

-Move now. -Who do you think you are?

Why do you have the right to come in here and insult my child's teacher?

A teacher? [scoffs]

Juno's only been hurt by you, and now you think you're gonna take him away?

You think you have the right to call yourself his mother?

Of course. That's the reason that you're sleeping with the tutor, huh?

Because you're such a great father.

Heo Jung-in!

You are the worst mistake of my life.

The only reason I've ever put up with you

is solely because you gave birth to Jun-ho.

But this will be the last time.

If you ever set foot in this house again,

you will not leave here alive.

Go ahead and do it.

[Hyung-ju] Get out.

Before I have someone drag you out.

I'm leaving. On my own.

[music building]

[music ends abruptly]

I'm sorry.

Can you…

spare some of your time?

[gentle music playing]

[Hyung-ju sighs]

Do you know how many times I've imagined killing that woman myself?

Maybe a few hundred

No, probably more like several thousand.

[exhales]

I didn't realize that your past was just as painful as my own.

It must have been very hard for you.

Would it be easier to forgive her if she just died?

[breathes deeply]

Isn't forgiveness

something that is always asked for

by those who have betrayed us the most?

There has never been…

a moment where I have ever forgiven what he did.

Why did you and Mr. Cha ever break up?

Seems like he still regrets breaking up even today.

It's just out of pity and because he regrets it.

Maybe he's sympathetic.

We broke up more than 15 years ago.

And so?

Maybe he's still in love with you.

Hey Ms. Seo,

you're still very attractive.

[chuckles] You must be really drunk then.

I'm not just saying it because I'm drunk.

Well then, thank you for the compliment.

[inhales]

Then, what if you went out with me and not Mr Cha?

Don't you want to date someone like me?

[chuckles]

[chuckles] I'm just kidding.

Cheers.

How could he say something so cruel to me?

To the woman who gave birth to his child.

[scoffs]

And in front of that woman. It's humiliating.

I'll never forgive him for this.

And you shouldn't.

[gasps]

[groans, grunts]

Are you crazy?

[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

I have said a lot that I wouldn't normally say out loud.

I'm sorry.

But also…

I feel a lot better after saying all of this to you.

I feel like I can finally breathe.

Thank you.

[gentle music playing]

I really didn't even do that much for you.

But, I am happy to hear that you're feeling better.

[exhales]

I really don't like being in debt, so if you ever need anything from me

please feel free to reach out to me anytime, okay?

Mr. Lee, please.

I need your help right now.

[sentimental music playing]

Even when his ex-wife embarrassed her like that,

she still would not leave him.

[exhales] Is there something else that I can do?

I don't think Ms. Seo is really interested in

simply messing with your plans to marry him.

[ominous music playing]

I believe what Ms. Seo wants to accomplish is nothing more

than to see you completely destroyed.

Is that so?

[in French] Hello. I'm Lee Hyung-ju.

LAWYER JIN YOO-HUI

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE CHATEAU DELOUIS DAY LEE HYUNG-JU

[dramatic sting]

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE CHATEAU DELOUIS DAY LEE HYUNG-JU

[dramatic music playing]

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE CHATEAU DELOUIS DAY LEE HYUNG-JU

ENTER YOUR DESTINATION FLOOR

[electronic chimes]

[tense music playing]

[in English] When did you get out of prison?

Where's my money?

What do you mean "your money"?

-[chuckles] Why, you just… -[gasps]

So.

She'll be at the party?

Yeah.

And with just one word from you, she'll be gone forever.

Help me just this one time.

If you do that for me, then I'll pay whatever you want.

Seok-jin is really going out with a girl?

Tell me about this woman.

I wanna be there with you when you finally get to meet her.

[Yong-hwan chuckles]

What does she do?

This woman has a doctorate

and is lecturing at the University right now.

She's smart and very pretty.

A professor?

-And family? -You will meet her soon.

[Yong-hwan chuckles]

That feels so nice.

[upbeat, instrumental music playing]

[Mi-jin] How did I not know

that Ms. Choi is your stepmother?

-Why haven't you said anything before? -Should I be proud of it?

Anyway, is the woman that you like not coming today?

[indistinct chatter]

Congressman.

Hello. Good evening.

I wasn't expecting to see you.

Yeah, it's always good to see you.

You must be very busy with the upcoming election.

Yes, so I can't stay long.

I thought I would stop in for a little while, though.

[chuckles]

So I see.

Have a wonderful night, then.

Till next time, Mr. Son.

All right, then.

-How is your business doing? -[man 1] Great, thanks to you.

And so we meet again, Ms. Jin. How are you still so sexy?

-Hey, what? I can't help it. -[all chuckle]

You're still so beautiful.

[imitates cat meow]

Have you been well, Mr. Park?

Yeah! [chuckles]

I've heard quite a lot about you. I'm Choi Sung-jae.

Ah.

Jin Yoo-hui.

[man 2] Whoa!

[instrumental music playing]

[all chuckling]

How amazing!

Hye-seung.

Oh.

Wow, you look incredible.

I almost didn't recognize you.

That drone show is amazing, isn't it?

JIN YOO-HUI: ARE YOU HERE?

[music ends abruptly]

-Good evening, everyone. I'm Lee Hyung-ju. -[Jin-su] Yeah!

[all cheering, applauding]

Next to me is the owner of the winery, Mr. Jean-Philippe.

And all of our special dishes for tonight will be served by Chef Riesling.

[all applauding]

I would like to express my sincere gratitude

to all my honored guests who have accepted tonight's invitation.

This night, I wish to share with you,

certain bottles of wine that are my pride and joy.

Only 50 bottles are produced every year,

and I just brought them over from France to share with you.

Please let me introduce the Chateau Delouis.

[all cheering, applauding]

[opera music playing]

There's a guest that I want to give this evening's first glass to.

Congressman Son, would you please join me?

Sir, if you would, please lead everyone in a toast.

[chuckles]

Sure. I am Son Pil-young.

What a wonderful night.

I would like to express my thanks to the CEO of Hibull,

Lee Hyung-ju, for inviting me here tonight.

Let us please raise our glasses for their success!

-To Hibull! -[all together] To Hibull!

[opera music continues]

To us all.

The wine's really good. The best that I've ever had.

I'm glad you like it. It really is great.

This wine is my favorite.

What a lovely dress.

Thank you. It was a gift from someone with great taste.

[Yoo-sun] Good evening, everyone.

Please let me introduce you.

This is my husband, Chairman Cha Yong-hwan.

Thank you for inviting me to such a special event like this.

The wine was really outstanding. [chuckles]

Thank you, sir.

Remember how I told you that Professor Cha's special friend

would be here as well?

[Yong-hwan] Your friend?

Yes, father. She's a friend from college.

Mmm.

Hello, sir. I'm Seo Hye-seung.

So you're the woman who Seok-jin is seeing right now?

But I think there's been a misunderstanding.

Professor Cha and I are just good friends.

See you later. Thank you, sir.

[Seok-jin] Wait, father.

Let me officially introduce you.

This is the woman that I love.

Mmm.

[suspenseful music playing]

She's raising her beautiful daughter on her own.

What?

Would remarrying be so bad? What's important is that she's kind.

And all the while I was trying to find him a bride,

I didn't even know that there was someone he had already given his heart to.

I mean… What do you mean? What are you…

Professor Cha, let's save this conversation.

No, now. My father wants to know, so I'm going to tell him the truth.

-I'm not going to avoid this. -I'm sorry. Let's talk later.

-[Seok-jin] Wait, Hye-seung! -[Hye-seung exhales]

Come on, let go.

Ms. Seo is here as my special guest for this evening.

She's told me that there's something she really wishes to tell Ms. Jin.

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales]

Mr. Lee, how many times do I have to tell you?

This woman is trying to deceive yet again. Can't you see that?

She sought you because she wants your fortune.

-I guess we'll have to hear her story. -[exhales]

[Yoo-hui] Fine.

I'll show you proof she's lying.

[Professor] Oh. Do you mean Mr. Lee's house?

Of course she knowingly went to the CEO of Hibull's house.

I was with her when she discussed the position

with the president of the university on the phone.

Ms. Seo volunteered herself to be a tutor for that house.

Ms. Seo, are you going to keep lying to all of us?

You knew from the very beginning it was the CEO of Hibull's house.

You're right.

I knew whose house it was.

But you know more than anyone why I volunteered to go.

[Seok-jin] Jin Yoo-hui.

Why don't you tell everyone about the affair

so people know why Hye-seung had no other option but to do so.

Affair?

An affair?

Are you talking about an affair with a disgusting criminal?

I am obviously the victim here.

Are you serious?

Look.

This is the ring

that my husband was wearing up until the moment that he died.

Do you know what was engraved onto it?

[dramatic music continues]

Your initials, along with my husbands.

[breathes shakily]

What are you… [inhales] What are you talking about right now?

I even checked the serial number to see who purchased this ring.

And do you want to know who bought it?

Jin Yoo-hui.

It was you.

[breathes shakily]

This is all a lie. She's lying to you all! This is just a ploy!

Do you even know the reason why my husband actually decided to kill himself?

-Do you? -[Myeong-u] She's lying.

Those are all lies.

[dramatic music continues]

I'm glad to hear that Choi Myeong agreed to help you.

Seo Hye-seung will be absolutely destroyed in front of everyone at the party.

Hyung-ju, too.

And in the end…

he'll come right back to me.

[Hye-seung] What are you saying? What do you mean "lies"?

You already know the truth about all of this.

Just like my husband,

you were also tricked and used by this woman.

-She ended up betraying you just the same. -[Yoo-hui] Stop that.

Mr. Kang pressured and black-mailed Mr. Choi

into giving him over a billion won.

And because of that,

he lost his entire family and all that he owned.

[exhales] You're the only person who knows the entire truth.

Sir, this was incredibly unfair to you!

Unfair to me? [chuckles]

-Things should be fair. -[Yoo-hui exhales]

Should I tell them the truth?

[dramatic music building]

[music ends abruptly]

-[all gasp] -[Myeong-u breathes heavily]

[man 3] Oh my God.

Don't you know whose fault this is?

[chuckles]

I see you haven't changed at all.

Hmm?

[Myeong-u chuckles]

[Hyung-ju] I want to know what the truth is.

The truth?

The entire and unblemished truth.

If you tell me what really happened, I'll get you your freedom.

The choice is yours.

[Myeong-u] You were the one who first seduced me before you decided

to steal the company's money.

And it was your idea to pin it all on Kang Nam-sik!

So you seduced him on purpose, and then what? Accused him of rape?

[chuckles]

You're not just a bitch,

you're a murderer!

What the hell are you talking about right now?

-[Hye-seung breathing heavily] -[Myeong-u] Okay.

So then,

let's see if people will still believe you after listening to this.

[Yoo-hui] We need to start tying up any loose ends with Mr. Kang.

Things are starting to get pretty heated at work.

I already took the money from his account,

so he'll get all the blame if something goes wrong.

It won't affect us at all.

I've made arrangements to get rid of him if things go wrong.

So don't worry, Mr. Choi,

all you have to do is get rid of any documents

that connect us to the company.

[dramatic music continues]

They're making this up.

[breathing shakily]

They're all lying.

Tell me now.

That woman made you do this, didn't she? Huh? She did!

[breathing heavily]

[music ends abruptly]

Jin Yoo-hui, on behalf of the Southern District Court,

you're under arrest on accounts of embezzlement and malfeasance. Let's go.

Get off of me! Let go! No! Let go of me!

[theme music playing]
