(The Women's Room)
(Previously on Women's Room...)
Hee-soo accidentally kills her stepfather...
and abandons his body on a secluded road.
Kyung-chae runs over the body...
and thinks she killed him.
Kyung-chae invites Hee-soo to her house...
and even gets her a job at her family's hotel.
Then they become friends.
But Hee-soo covets everything Kyung-chae has.
She seduces Ji-sub,
and Kyung-chae sees them kissing on the hotel's rooftop.
When Ok-sun finds out the truth about the accident,
Hee-soo sets the house on fire to get rid of the evidence.
Ok-sun dies due to the fire.
Before she dies, Ok-sun tells Kyung-chae...
that Hee-soo set the house on fire.
Kyung-chae vows revenge against Hee-soo.
Hee-soo said she was not at the hotel on the day of the fire.
Was she really on an errand for you?
Yes, she was.
I sent her out on an errand at that time.
(Episode 41)
Ji-sub, that's not true.
Why are you lying?
Hee-soo was at my house at that time.
Someone even saw her there.
I'm not lying.
I can tell you where and why I sent her on an errand.
Shall I?
Is this all cleared up now?
Is this what you wanted to confirm?
Am I cleared of this misunderstanding now?
I've been out of my office for too long.
Thank you for confirming this.
What's wrong with you, Ji-sub?
I know you're lying.
I'm not lying.
I don't understand why you're doing this.
Why would you lie for Hee-soo?
Are you still seeing her?
I'm just telling you the truth.
The truth?
You know that's not the truth.
You never sent her out on an errand.
What's going on? Something is up, right?
Nothing is going on.
I don't know why you're doing this.
I don't know why you're making it harder for me.
You're being too sensitive.
The fire happened and they concluded it was due to electrical problems.
There's no need to do this.
I need to do this!
My mum...
How did my mum die?
I understand how you feel.
But your being emotional is not helping.
Are you sure about this?
I'm sure about it.
I sent her out on an errand.
This is the Jongno Fire Station.
How is the reinvestigation of the fire at 150 Pyeongchang going?
Really?
You can't confirm if it's arson?
The case is closed?
Thank you.
I came for an apology.
An apology?
You let your imagination run wild and made a fool out of me.
You suspected me for the fire and even checked it out with Ji-sub.
You owe me an apology after all that now.
I have nothing to apologise for.
So you're not going to apologise?
I can't. I won't apologise to you.
Do you still think I did it?
The reinvestigation will prove it.
They're still working on it.
Reinvestigation?
Fine. I'll wait for that.
I hope they find something.
You!
I can fire you with my authority as the vice president.
Wouldn't you need a legitimate reason?
What you did and what you're hiding are legitimate reasons.
I'm not hiding anything.
Why don't you find out what I'm hiding?
I dare you to find it.
Why did you move into my house?
You asked me to move in.
Have you forgotten? It was you!
I shouldn't have let you move in.
I shouldn't have given you the room.
You shouldn't have given me the room...
without being ready to give me everything.
Did it make you feel good to give me that shabby room?
I know how you must've felt to hear us thank you for your generosity.
Stop acting like a philanthropist who gives to the poor.
It's making me sick.
How can you say that?
Min Kyung-chae!
Do you know how inadequate I felt in that room?
You'd never know how unfair and harsh this world is.
But you'll soon find out.
I'll give you a first-hand experience.
You'll get me demoted?
Who says you can?
You should try to protect your position.
It's me.
Why did you help me today?
I found out what you have.
You're quicker than I thought.
Do you now see that you belong to me and not to Kyung-chae?
That's not why I helped you.
Then there's another reason?
For you to lie like that, you must've been desperate.
I know how that desperation feels.
You could've turned your back on me but you didn't.
You'll be supporting me from now on.
You'll see.
Min Kyung-chae!
Do you know how inadequate I felt in that room?
But you will soon find out.
I'll give you a first-hand experience.
What is it that you want?
Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
Is this it?
I can't believe this is in our hands.
So this can ruin even a man like Min Dong-chul!
Are you sure you can trust that general manager?
I'm going to give these to him tonight.
Sure, the earlier the better.
Mr Min must be out of focus with the death of his wife...
so this is the perfect time.
There's something you must know.
You told me not to forgive the ones who killed my parents, right?
Right, don't forgive them.
I don't intend to forgive them,
but I don't plan to seek vengeance either.
There is life between forgiveness and revenge.
Kyung-chae. I know it's hard for you to understand now.
But you'll find out as time passes.
Mum...
She told me who did this before she passed away.
So this person is still around and it's...
someone close to you that you trusted?
I won't ask who it is.
It'll only hurt the both of us.
But don't try to do anything. Just wait.
I can't do anything because it's just an assumption.
I don't have any evidence.
This is bigger than I thought.
What is it? Are you hesitating now that we've got to take action?
No, taking this to the Prosecutor's Office isn't an issue.
It's the after-effects I'm thinking about.
Mr Min will lose his position,
but I'm worried about Ms Min.
I guess you have strong feelings for Ms Min.
I just hope Ms Min keeps her position.
Am I going to be reinstated?
After you do your part.
Yes.
I got it.
Let's talk.
What is it?
I want you to confess what you did.
I guess you can't find your evidence.
I told you to find the evidence that I set the house on fire.
I'll find it soon.
But I'm just giving you an opportunity.
A chance to regain your conscience.
The last chance for you to live like a decent human being.
A decent human being?
I'm the one who gave you the chance to live like a decent human being.
Did you forget what you did?
That was an accident.
But you killed intentionally.
What if I hadn't forgiven you?
What if I had told everyone what you did?
Do you think the hotel and your position would've been okay?
I didn't know this is how you were.
You made me this way.
So just keep quiet and don't do anything.
You don't scare me a bit.
You probably think you're above all because people scramble before you.
You have shown me how useless and incompetent you are.
I'm the one who kept you in that position.
I got that land contract for the resort project.
I got that contract, not you.
So just keep quiet and don't do anything if you have any conscience.
Just live the way you used to.
Give bright smiles and take care of the maids.
Just act kind and friendly like an angel.
How can you do this to me?
- Let me go! - How can you do this?
Let me go!
How can you do this to me?
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
What's going on between you two?
I thought you were best friends.
What's going on? You're acting like enemies now.
I thought she was my friend.
Was?
So she's not your friend now?
What's wrong?
I have something to tell you.
You must hear me out.
It's something mum told me before she passed away.
She told me who set the house on fire.
What did you say? Who was it?
Mum...
Min Dong-chul.
We're arresting you for embezzlement and tax evasion...
according to the statutes covering financial crimes.
What? What did you say?
We have evidence of your tax evasion and attempts to keep slush funds.
We also have your slush funds ledgers and fraudulent accounts.
What are you doing?
You're making a big mistake!
Let's go.
Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Go back in.
I'll be fine.
Dad.
Please don't take him.
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Sit down.
Are you okay?
I shouldn't even ask if you're okay in such a situation.
My dad would never do that.
My dad is not like that.
Relax. You're too worked up.
I can't just sit here. I need to go see my dad.
You won't be able to see him.
Don't you know what an arrest without a warrant means?
What am I going to do?
We need to just wait. There's no other way.
Where is Mr Han while his woman is going through all this?
He should be here for you! So where is he?
I knew you could do it.
Then my reinstatement...
Come on.
What's the hurry?
I want you to confirm my reinstatement.
Why? Are you worried I'll throw you away now?
No, I'm not.
I trust you.
So Mr Min is in jail.
He will be.
Oh my!
How can things turn out this way?
How can their family just come to ruin like this?
Were those secret ledgers that important?
Hee-soo. So Mr Min's family is really ruined?
Don't you like it?
I'm just worried about us.
Where are we going to live then?
Do you know how expensive Mr Min's house is?
It's 10 million dollars.
10 million dollars?
I had butterflies in my stomach when I first set foot in that house.
You will never know how desperately...
I wanted to live there and own that house.
That's what I'm saying. But we can't live there now.
How will we be able to live there with Mr Min like that?
Don't worry.
We'll be moving back in soon.
Didn't Pil-sub tell you how he got to know Eun-chae?
He said they were meant to be. Fate or something.
Whatever.
How can both of our sons be dating Mr Min's daughters?
I wonder when they'll be done with remodelling their house.
Since they're rich, they'll get it done quickly.
I'm sure. It'll be done in no time.
It must be uncomfortable for you in this small house.
Eun-chae is not uncomfortable at all.
I love being here with you.
You sure know us.
Here. It's done.
Wow! It's like brand new.
You're the best.
I'm not the best.
How long do we have to keep her?
Kyung-chae asked us and they do need to rebuild the house.
She's refusing to stay at the hotel.
Where's Pil-sub right now?
Hey. I'm not in the mood to sit here and eat this food with you.
I'm upset because something bad happened to my angel.
I don't even have any appetite.
You should cook your meat thoroughly.
You're so cute.
Are you crazy?
Don't you need a job?
I won't let you hire me to be your boyfriend.
How about here?
The owner of this restaurant owes a lot to my grandma.
I can get you a job for you here.
You're always bringing up your grandma.
Is she that great?
Do you want it or not?
You can even become a manager or a franchise owner.
Even a franchise owner?
It's all my fault.
I thought this was best for the hotel.
I know how you feel although it's like you to do this.
You must be disappointed in me.
I'm sure you are. I'm not surprised.
What's important right now is taking care of this matter.
Take care of your health and don't worry about the hotel.
I'll work harder to cover for you.
I'm really proud of you.
So, how is Eun-chae?
She's not aware of anything.
I think she misses you.
Kyung-chae. I have something that bothers me.
The ledgers...
They were in the house, hidden in my study.
How did they avoid the fire?
I think someone took them out before the fire.
I think someone stole them.
Stolen by who?
If it's not a thief, it's an inside job.
Who would do that in our house?
Are you saying Hee-soo did it?
There's no one else.
How would Hee-soo know you had the ledgers?
Someone must've hired her.
She's been bothering me for a while.
It's useless to say this now, but even when she got the land contract,
I felt like someone was behind her.
I guess we'll find out soon enough,
but I think I know who turned me in.
Is it Director Oh?
No, it's not him.
We may not be on the best terms,
but he's too scared to do anything this big on his own.
Who do you think it is?
I can't say for sure but it must be...
someone who has ill feelings against me.
Anyway, be careful of Hee-soo.
Had I known your mum would pass away like that,
I would've treated her better.
I regret it.
Actually, before mum passed away...
she told me Hee-soo set the house on fire.
Did you request a reinvestigation?
They said the damage was too extensive...
for them to get any evidence.
I don't know what to do.
I'll take care of things when I get out of here.
You stay alert and protect what you have.
If someone did this to ruin me, it won't stop with this.
Keep your eyes on Hee-soo.
Find out who she's meeting and what she's scheming.
Did you see Mr Min?
You must be upset.
I won't deny my dad's crime.
But it doesn't seem natural for things to happen like this.
I feel like someone has been out to ruin him.
I have so many questions.
Even the fact that...
the secret ledgers were stolen on the day of the fire.
Ledgers were stolen on the day of the fire?
Dad said they were in the house.
Unless someone set out to get the ledgers,
how would anyone know about their existence?
Even I didn't know about them.
I need to confirm something. I need to see someone.
Have you heard about Mr Min's arrest?
I guess you know.
Are you not reporting to work because you were fired?
I guess my assumptions were right.
Would my assumptions about you be right, too?
How did you get those ledgers?
Who's behind you?
Are you curious?
You'll find out if you stay close to me.
What's important is that...
she's someone who can easily topple Mr Min.
Ji-sub, can you come to me?
Dad...
Dad just got arrested.
I'm so sorry, but I'm far from where you are.
I'll try to get to you as soon as I can.
Why are you still here when Kyung-chae is...
desperately looking for you?
You used to run to her before she even called.
I'm trying to determine where I belong.
I think you've already decided.
Where are you, Ji-sub?
Please stop this.
What do you mean?
It's not like you to be scheming like this.
Or is this how you always were?
If you're going to talk nonsense, get out.
Just to get those ledgers, a house was burnt down and someone died.
Your parents died first!
- Grandma! - What is it that you want to say?
Hee-soo probably stole the ledgers and gave them to you.
Then you gave them to someone to blow the whistle.
What did you offer Hee-soo to get the ledgers?
Are you happy now?
It's only the beginning.
Give up on Kyung-chae before you ruin my plans.
Grandma.
The fire was an accident. I have nothing to do with it.
It just happened at the same time.
Do you expect me to believe that?
The ledgers were stolen during the fire.
I don't care if you believe me or not.
I'm telling you the truth.
Let me ask you one more time.
You have nothing to do with the fire?
I have nothing to do with it. You can ask me all you want.
The president's position is vacant.
Be ready to take over that position.
How could he...
(2013 Mona Lisa Hotel Special directors meeting)
I've been thinking,
I may be incompetent but my position gives me the power to fire you.
You and your dad are the same.
You use people and kick them out.
Your dad fired your lover Ji-sub for dating you.
What? Ji-sub was fired?
Didn't you know?
Then again, what do you know?
Are you sure Ji-sub was fired?
Unfortunately, it's the truth.
Did you say you want to fire me?
Fine. Fire me if you can.
I'm sure everyone is aware of Mr Min's arrest.
He was corrupt in running the business.
The sums involved are substantial.
He offered bribes to various institutions.
He damaged the image of our hotel. We can't let this slide.
The additional fine charged to Mr Min is astronomical.
And as long as he remains in his post, he's a burden to the hotel.
So I recommend that we remove Mr Min from the president's position.
I have something to say.
We didn't let you come to this meeting so we can hear your excuses.
Ms Min recently avoided...
the vote of no confidence recommended by the board.
She did this by bringing in the land contract for the resort project.
Let me reveal to you one more truth.
Ms Min did not get the land contract.
It was Ms Eun Hee-soo who got the contract.
Ms Min used her power to steal her staff's glory...
in order to keep her position.
Please come in.
Ms Hee-soo, please tell us.
Everything he said is the truth.
I got the land contract risking my life.
But they took the contract from me to avoid...
the vote of no confidence.
How did you...
I wanted to help you.
I'll tell the board that you got this done.
Are you out of your mind?
You got this land contract yourself. It's not me but all you!
You need to say that in order to keep your position.
I was promoted to manager for giving up the contract.
I'm embarrassed to have done this.
I'll resign from my position since I was wrongly promoted.
I'll accept the punishment from the board.
I recommend that we relieve both...
Mr Min and Ms Min of their positions.
Let's take a vote.
How could you do this to me?
How could you?
Is this how you want to end our relationship?
Now do you see how useless you are?
You're nothing without Mr Min.
You have not earned anything for yourself.
What's that look on your face?
Why don't you try to get all this back?
I'll be watching you.
