(The Women's Room)
(Episode 69)
Eun Ki-man.
The murder covered up as a car accident.
You're the accomplice, right?
You're just a pretty girl who's good at accusing people.
Look here, lady.
My name is Min Kyung-chae. I'm sure you knew that.
You knew I was the heiress to the hotel and approached me.
You probably schemed with Hee-soo to return the compensation money.
You had her move into my place.
And acted like you're harassing her at the hotel.
There's no way Hee-soo could've concocted this on her own.
You must've given her info about me.
The root of Hee-soo's evil started with you.
But I have no ill will toward you.
I have more ill will toward Hee-soo.
Just do one thing.
Either ask for a favour or threaten me.
I'm neither asking for a favour nor threatening you.
I'm just worried about you.
You know well how Hee-soo is.
Do you think she'll let you roam freely since you know everything?
She's now the vice president of the hotel.
She can actually do anything if she sets her mind to it.
Look here. You're wrong about me.
That doesn't scare me a bit.
The only thing that scares me is money!
Now I know why she called you trash,
worse than bugs, and unworthy to live.
Stop! Stop it!
She saw you today so she'll hire someone to kidnap you.
Then she'll get rid of you in secret.
Like she did with Eun Ki-man and my mum.
People like you will just disappear.
Not in a prison cell but six feet under.
If you want to avoid her it, you should take action first.
You can reach me at this number.
What happened?
Did he get out of prison already?
He came here today so he'll go to the house.
What am I going to do?
Come in.
Yes, Ms Eun.
Make sure no one talks about what happened today.
Tell the security team to keep silent about this.
I don't want anyone to find out about the commotion here today.
And if he comes again, just kick him out.
Don't let him enter the hotel at all!
Yes, Ma'am.
Did you call for me?
About the meeting you missed...
Be prepared to give a good presentation.
The board is looking to get you.
They're not happy that you returned.
Although I'm sure you'll do fine.
I understand.
Are you doing all that you can?
Have you met him?
Yes.
Do what you can now before it's too late.
You'll regret it again.
Did you regret...
because you couldn't do anything?
I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
I just feel sorry for you.
It's not just because it's you.
I'd be advising anyone in the same situation as you.
Search the accident scene, records, people connected with this accident.
You may find something you had missed.
You know Hee-soo is not a good person.
I can't let her run this hotel.
That is why I told you to reclaim the hotel and your position.
That's why I asked you to use me...
I know.
You're helping me because you went through this before me.
I know that's the reason why you helped me to look for...
the flash drive and went with me to find Eun-chae.
Where is the briefing info I asked for?
Don't think the board will bow to you...
because your position is equal to the vice president's.
They're not easy people to deal with.
I know those people better.
I've been burned by them once.
It's funny that you'd worry about me. Don't you think?
I'm saying you should do your job right.
The sales are not meeting expectations!
You must be talking about the hotel profit.
The shops are running smoothly.
It's very close to the sales of shopping arcades of other hotels.
We're doing better considering we got a late start.
Are you saying I'm creating problems out of nothing?
It must be because of the profit division with the hotel.
That could be a problem with the contract.
The contract doesn't seem to have any problems on the surface.
But you know there can be secrets embedded in contract deals.
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying I made a contract that's damaging to the hotel?
That's none of my business.
I'm not working for the hotel.
It was a great contract deal for Lubyni.
Hi.
I moved back in.
Dad talked to me and my parents moved in too.
It was awkward for me to stay out.
I thought I should tell you.
I'm sorry about staying at your place.
It must've been uncomfortable for you.
I'm glad you know that.
Of course you should return home.
But my heart's not at home.
Take your heart with you.
That's not fair for Hee-soo.
Hee-soo and I were the ones who wronged you first.
I won't deny it.
If I could turn back the time, I would do things differently.
I guess there's some good left in you.
There was a commotion at the vice president's office today.
Were you aware of that?
What happened?
A man came and caused a scene.
Your wife seemed disconcerted and frightened.
What if this starts a bad rumour in the hotel?
Who could it be?
Who is it? Who caused a scene here?
Who is it?
Who told you about that?
Kyung-chae told me.
It was nothing. Don't worry about it.
It sounded serious. I heard...
I told you it was nothing!
Since when did you worry about me?
That's right.
I'm just a man who goes to see my ex after a fight with you.
I guess I overstepped my line.
Kyung-chae knows of this?
What did you tell Ji-sub?
I thought it must be serious since he came to your office.
I don't know that man.
I don't know what you heard, but it's none of your business.
If you don't know who it was, check the CCTV video and take action.
You can't let this pass.
Are you worried about me?
Didn't you say it was ridiculous for us to worry about each other?
I'm saying you should do your job.
It's to prevent damaging the hotel's image.
A hotel's image speaks for the image of the shops.
I'm speaking as the supervisor of the shopping arcade.
I don't care about your love life.
Who cares whether it's your secret lover...
or even a one-night stand?
I heard many married women have secret lovers.
It's no big deal.
My lover?
Watch what you say, Min Kyung-chae.
As you know, I was devoted to Ji-sub.
But not everyone can be like me.
I understand.
You!
It seems you're always out in the living room.
I'm so frustrated I can't stay in that room.
It's too small.
My husband and I used to stay in that small room.
You're staying by yourself!
I know.
You even made a baby there.
Come on! Stop saying that when it's not even definite.
I got a little excited after hearing your birth dream.
But I'm sure I'm not pregnant.
Are you going to the doctor?
Yes, I'm going to check this out. I need some answers.
Not knowing is making me nervous.
Whatever. You had it easy for a while with your morning sickness.
I didn't have it easy.
Hee-soo said she'll have a baby.
I'll look forward to having a grandchild.
Hee-soo said she'll have a baby?
She said that?
My goodness! I guess she's set on this!
There weren't any CCTV cameras at the accident scene.
But there was one about two miles away.
If Eun Ki-man was walking,
he should've been caught on camera.
Seeing that he's not there, he must've been in a car.
I'm bored, Kyung-chae.
Then did he drive a car? Or was he driven there?
I said I'm bored!
What did you say?
I'm bored.
You keep talking to yourself. You're not even playing with me.
You must've been bored.
I'm sorry.
But I'm going to be more busy now.
Eun-chae. Would you like to start attending the centre?
You have friends there and your teachers were good to you.
Hey. Did you go to see the doctor?
Mrs Gong told me you did.
She's got such a big mouth. Yes, I went to see the doctor.
What did the doctor say? You're not pregnant, right?
No, I'm not.
I told you it can't be. You just got ahead of yourself.
Gosh. I knew it! It's Hee-soo that should have a baby.
Not an old lady like you.
Mrs Gong sounded so sure that I just got carried away.
Hey. You talk to Hee-soo. I'll talk to Ji-sub.
We need to help them work this out.
Why do you look disappointed? I'm glad you're not pregnant.
- I'm back. - You're back.
I think your wife came home early today.
Come here.
Why did you come home separately?
You should've brought her home.
Come home together from now on. You work at the same place.
And smile a little!
You used to be good before.
I returned home upon your request.
I know but try to make things work.
Hee-soo said she'll try to make things work too.
Hee-soo promised to have a baby as your mother wanted.
She promised that?
You take it easy as well.
You need to work together on this.
I won't stand to see you hurt Hee-soo.
Hurting Ms Kyung-chae was enough.
I know what you're up to.
Other women would've asked for a divorce.
She even cried saying it's her fault. She's enduring it.
She may lack other things.
But I give her credit for trying to keep this marriage going.
So you do your part.
You know what I'm saying, right?
She cried?
When did you get home?
He just came.
I think he has something to say to you.
Did you really promise to have a baby?
I did. I know your parents want it too.
I'm going to try. That will keep the peace in this house.
I didn't know you were planning on that.
I'm not as selfish as you think.
I'm not that awful either.
You just think of me like that.
Please have a seat.
Hey. Your mum went to see the doctor and she's not pregnant.
So you guys work on making a baby and don't worry.
There were so many young girls there.
They didn't even look embarrassed.
I guess things have changed.
Unmarried women are having babies!
Not all women are like that.
There are women like Hee-soo who is devoted only to Ji-sub.
I can stand for anything except messy relationships before marriage.
You're not like that, right?
Excuse me?
You know she's not like that.
Goodness. What's this meeting about without me?
Were you talking bad about me?
We're not talking about you. I'm glad you're here.
They are going to work on having a baby and try to work things out.
So let's try to get along too.
How about going out for a family dinner one day?
We need to have everyone!
Eun Hee-soo.
You even promised to have a baby.
I just needed to say it.
It wasn't easy for me to marry him.
I told you never to call me.
Your threats don't scare me a bit, Moon Jae-shik!
Moon Jae-shik. If you ever show your face again,
you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Don't you think I can do it?
Then show yourself to me and see what happens!
Please look this over.
How does it feel to see Ji-sub return to home?
I'm sure you wanted him to cling to you...
but he has returned to his rightful place.
It didn't work out for you.
That was Moon Jae-shik.
I know he won't call me just like that.
He needs to call me no matter what.
Mr Min regaining his memory...
is the fastest way to learn the truth...
about what happened 25 years ago.
Anyone home?
- Is no one home? - Who is it?
What brings you here, Chef?
How have you been?
I came now because I knew Kyung-chae won't be home.
I have something to tell you.
I'm glad you're home.
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I have nothing to tell you.
I just can't believe I did that 25 years ago.
That horrible deed...
You can't remember anything yet?
I want to remember too.
This is helping neither my daughters nor you.
I must regain my memory to reveal the truth about the past.
I've got a proposition to help you regain your memory.
I'm here to tell you that.
Sure. I'll do anything to remember.
I'll do anything.
Your food is here. Here you go!
Please enjoy! Enjoy!
You must be bored, Eun-chae.
I'm busy so I can't even chat with you.
It's okay. I like seeing you work.
You are a great man!
You're the only one who knows me.
I get off early today so where shall we go?
To the playground and ride the swings?
Let's go out for coffee.
It thought it was too bitter for you?
I can drink milk and you can have coffee.
Are you suggesting this for me?
You're all grown up!
I'm so touched!
This is Han Pil-sub.
Jae-shik?
Why are you calling?
You disappeared for a while.
Were you in prison again?
You're still seeing this slow girl?
Hey. We've met before, right?
You're a bad person.
You've got good eyes.
What do you want?
What's up, Mum?
Family dinner?
Since when have we had family dinners?
Count me out.
Enjoy your meal without me.
That Hee-soo with her tricks!
My sister-in-law is all that.
She's the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
She's acting like the boss at home too.
Your sister-in-law is the vice president of that hotel?
What is it that you want?
If you want money, I have nothing.
I knew I wanted to meet you today.
Where is your family having dinner tonight?
I know the local road by Yangsuri is known for hit-and-run accidents.
Could you check the CCTV footage or from any camera on that road?
Sure.
Officer Choi, bring me the status board for our station's CCTVs.
Yes, Sir.
It happened a while ago so it may not be easy.
But please look into this for me.
Sure.
Goodness. I like this place.
Ji-sub will be coming soon.
He said he'll come straight from work.
I'm sorry Pil-sub is not joining us.
It would have been good if he came.
Pil-sub is good at doing the opposite.
I'm sure he's doing this on purpose.
What?
Father, about Pil-sub...
Should I look for a position for him at the hotel?
He can't just do temp jobs forever.
Can you?
We'd be grateful if you can do that for him!
I guess it's not hard work for you to find a position for him.
Hold on.
Yes?
I came to see your husband's face but I don't see him.
I was curious to see what kind of a man that jerk is.
Look behind you.
You have the wrong number.
Why is that man looking at us?
I think he's looking at Hee-soo.
It's because she's so beautiful.
Look around.
No one is as beautiful as Hee-soo.
She does take after me in her beauty.
Do you know him, Hee-soo?
No, I don't know him.
Who keeps looking at her?
Do you know him?
I don't know him.
He's a total stranger.
Wait. We haven't ordered yet.
The man on that table ordered these for you.
I think he's winking at you.
How dare he flirt with my daughter-in-law?
Mother. Please don't mind him.
Every now and then, you run into such people.
I'll be back.
What are you up to?
I'm not here to see you. I came to eat.
I told you never to show your face again.
Why don't you call security to get rid of me?
Get out right now if you don't want to go back to prison.
I already spent my time.
I'm a free man.
What crime have I committed to go back?
I'm warning you.
Don't even think about hiring people to beat me up.
Do you think I'm easy to get rid of like Eun Ki-man and Mrs Yeo?
Let me confirm this with you.
Am I trash, worse than bugs, and not worthy to live?
Of course you are!
Thanks for letting me know.
Hey! Why was he there at the restaurant?
I'm not sure.
You need to do something about him. We can't just stay put!
You have to stop him with money or by force if you have to.
You have to do something.
What if he blabs about the incident concerning Eun Ki-man?
I'm going to bed.
I'm so tired.
Goodnight, Mum.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
What were you talking about?
What?
It's nothing.
As you can see from the report, we're unique in our management...
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
I looked at the CCTV video and found a speeding vehicle from that night.
The fine was paid by Moon Jae-shik.
What are you doing in the middle of your briefing?
Must we wait longer?
I'm sorry.
This is the second time she's skipping out on our meeting.
Ms Min must not be interested in this meeting.
Something urgent must've happened.
Walking out of a meeting for something personal?
This is not acceptable!
Can you accept this?
This is not acceptable!
I'm so bored! I'm bored out of my mind!
Goodness. Don't give me that bored look.
Why don't you ask out that man who you said was not better than you?
The one you got your heart set on?
Han Pil-sub?
He only comes when he needs me.
He even ignores my calls.
If you like him that much, do you want me to meet him?
I can gently ask him to accept you.
Or I can scold him by saying,
"Why are you giving my baby a hard time?"
Will you?
Will you meet him for me?
She drove through that road at that time.
I'm sure Eun Ki-man's body was in the truck.
She must have dumped him on the road and I drove by at that time.
What do you want?
Where did you go after running out of the meeting like that?
What's going on for you to behave this way?
What's going on?
You'll shriek in shock if you find out.
Be patient even if you're curious.
You'll find out soon enough.
Where did you run off to?
I had something urgent come up.
I'll apologise to the board members.
Apologising isn't enough!
Something more urgent than a meeting can happen.
But this is no good.
Running out twice from a meeting isn't like you...
despite whatever it may be!
What's being like me?
Is there such a thing?
Right now, this is the most urgent.
I didn't mean for you to give up your daily life...
when I told you to do all that you can.
I thought you'd tell me to do this...
even if I give up on everything else.
Revealing the truth and punishing Hee-soo are important.
But if it ruins your life, I'd like to stop you.
I'm finally getting closer to the truth.
I know you want to reveal the truth about your parents if you could.
I know you hate my dad and despise him, don't you?
You said I'll regret it if I don't do all that I can right now.
Right now,
I'm so regretful for not seeing through Hee-soo's evil intentions!
The board won't let her off easy.
Running out of a meeting is one thing.
But the profits are not good enough.
They had high hopes for Kyung-chae.
I think they're disappointed in her.
I wonder why she ran out like that.
She even missed the last meeting.
I think someone is looking for you at the lobby.
Who would look for me at the lobby?
And since when do you run errands like this?
He seems to have some urgent news.
He asked me to help him come in.
He said you prevented his entrance.
I think it's that man who was here before.
Who?
Go down before he barges into your office again.
- Who's this? - It's okay, Ji-sub!
Take this to Mr Jin for approval. This is urgent.
I told you never to show your face!
Excuse me?
I'm sorry.
What is this?
Are you playing tricks on me?
Didn't you meet him?
That's strange. I know it was him.
If you do this again, I won't let it pass.
Who is this that has you so intimidated?
What's the story between you two?
I'm curious.
There's nothing like that.
Even if there is, it's none of your business.
What if it's a story that I must know?
Would it make any difference?
There's nothing that you must know.
Even if there is, you'll never find out.
Do you really think so?
It's the hidden stories that attract people.
I'm sure the world is as curious as I am.
I'm so tired.
Mr Min?
As a bellboy?
Mr Min as a bellboy?
That's too much!
That's crazy.
Dad?
You're here early, Kyung-chae.
What are you doing here?
What's all this?
Go home.
What would people think about you? They'll say something.
You may get hurt. You won't be able to bear it.
It's okay.
I'm going to work here from now on.
I like working here.
Dad.
Let's go. Come on.
Hold on.
Mr Jin told me to work here.
Soo-hyuk?
Did you set up my dad to be the laughing stock of the hotel?
Did you make him work there?
Yes, I did.
Is this your idea of revenge?
Are you paying him back this way?
