(Episode 12)
Kang In-kyung has the money!
-Is she crazy? -What was she thinking?
What the heck?
No, it can't be.
I didn't steal it!
Kang In-kyung!
So it was you.
This is impossible.
Something's gone wrong here!
Have you lost your mind?
You're the thief and you want me to call the police for you?
Hey Kang In-kyung!
You really are something aren't you?
Who says I stole anything?
-It wasn't me. -Where do you get off playing innocent?
Money was found in your locker! A bag of money!
Call the police.
If you call the police...
the true thief will be revealed.
Uh... okay! Okay! Let's call the police then.
Hey you heard her right?
Call the police.
The Po... police?
-Do you really want me to call them? -Are you deaf?
I told you to call them!
Oh... yes sir.
What's going on here?
How could that bag of money come out of In-kyung's locker?
Exactly.
In-kyung's not that kind of person.
No one is born a thief.
Sometimes people are so lured by money they don't realize it until the act is done.
Now that I think about it, she has been strapped for cash.
Oh no...
What are you saying?
That In-kyung could've actually...
stolen the money or what?
Choon-ja, you can't be like that.
Other people may things about In-kyung, but we have to stick by her.
But I didn't say anything!
It's because I'm worried. I'm worried.
Open it!
(Kang In-kyung)
Mr. Byun!
It's not anything,
In-kyung has acted up against me too many times.
I'm just trying to scare her straight.
So don't worry about it.
But Mr. Byun... this is...
Mr. Huh's settlement amount.
That five-hundred dollars...
I'll make that disappear.
What?
How do you think your boyfriend will feel if he finds out you stole money for him?
What do you want to do Oh Keum-soon?
Should we fire Huh Chil-bong...
and send you to jail?
Oh no Keum-soon.
Are you okay Keum-soon?
What's wrong all of the sudden?
No, I'm okay. I'm fine.
You're not fine! You're white as a ghost right now!
Oh no! You look like you're going to faint soon!
-Come sit over here. -Yes, let's have a seat.
Is she not coming tonight?
Today's attendance will be verified when you pick up your GED exam number.
Park Mal-sook?
Yes?
-Kim Soon-mi? -Here.
-Choi Mi-kyung? -Here.
(GED Exam Number/Kang In-kyung)
Kang In-kyung...
It wasn't me.
How many times do I have to tell you?
It's the first time I've ever seen that money bag.
Don't just keep saying you didn't do it.
Prove your innocence with evidence or a witness.
A witness?
I have a witness!
You have no such thing!
Manager Ko said...
the money bag went missing at around 7 o'clock.
And the last time she saw me was at 6 o'clock.
I wasn't in the office during that hour.
I was on my route in the afternoon.
After finishing my route, I went to Baekdu Movie Productions.
-Baek...Baek...Baekdu Movie Productions? -Yes.
I met with the Mr. Nam of Baekdu Movie Productions.
He'll verify I was there.
Why? Why would you meet the CEO of Baekdu Movie Productions?
No, why would that CEO meet with you?
I went there because of Mr. Huh.
That's right! Mr. Byun...
You spoke to him on the phone today.
I was right next to him when you were on the phone with him
Wha...wha...what?
Fired him?
I never did such a thing.
Just as you requested Mr. Nam,
I made sure our employees were not affected
and quietly resolved the problem.
Oh damn it!
Kang In-kyung was next to him?
What are you talking about?
I didn't talk to anyone!
It wasn't you on the phone?
He specifically said everything was taken care of.
Now you have the audacity to lie since you know you've been caught red-handed?
-You're telling lies about other people! -I'm not lying!
I was standing right next to him.
Now now! Please calm down everyone.
If we call the CEO of Baekdu Movie Productions...
we'll know for sure.
Suh-yeon.
Wake up!
Lee Suh-yeon!
Yeah.
I told you to stop taking sleeping pills.
How many did you take?
What's it to you?
I took a couple because I couldn't fall asleep.
What the heck!
I finally fell asleep too.
No one is answering...
at Baekdu Movie Productions.
No one is picking up?
Let's stop doing this here.
Please cuff her and take her down to the police station and investigate her for...
Call them again!
No, please.
Let's go to Baekdu Movie Productions right now.
Everything will be solved if we go there.
Wait a second Miss Kang.
It looks like everyone has taken off for the day.
I'll call the company tomorrow and verify your information.
You will?
Thank you, thank you very much.
I'm telling you I have a witness too!
Do you know how many people saw the money bag in her locker?
Over 5 people!
She's so adamant that she didn't do it.
Don't we have to give her a chance to prove her alibi?
She's also your employee Mr. Byun.
Employee my ass, she's a thief now.
But if CEO Nam Jung-ho...
says something else...
I'll arrest you for grand theft larceny tomorrow.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Excuse me?
Yes, I understand.
But I'm not lying.
If you talk to him, you'll find out.
Detective Lim...
Thank you for trusting me.
So the real thief...
thought he was going to get caught and placed the bag in your locker.
But I wonder how he opened your locker.
I'm wondering that too.
Keum-soon...
You still have my key in a safe place right?
Huh?
Yeah...
I have it.
It's so strange.
I remember securely locking it.
What do you mean it's strange?
How easy do you think it'll be for a thief to pick a lock?
Now wait just a second.
Are you going to jail now?
Why would I go to jail when I haven't done anything wrong?
That detective...
will prove my innocence.
He seemed like a nice person.
How did Nam Jung-ho get involved like this?
If it weren't for me...
this could've turned messy!
Don't I know it!
If it weren't for you, everything would've gone to waste, chief.
Can you keep today's events a secret?
If Han-soo and mom find out,
they'll be so worried.
Don't you worry.
We'll make sure to keep our mouths closed.
But...
What the...
Why are you looking at me?
Don't worry about me.
You know how I'm good at keeping secrets!
In-kyung.
Mr. Cha...
What's this?
-Another night shift for my sister? -We came together, but...
That teacher came to visit her again.
He's here again?
That guy is slowly getting on my nerves!
Why does he keep coming around here?
Where are they right now?
Hey! You know...
just leave your sister alone tonight.
Leave them alone my ass! Move away!
Han-soo!
Today...
let's let them be today.
Yeah...
she'll be home soon.
Why is everyone acting so weird?
Is there something going on?
What is it?
Keum-soon...
what are you hiding from me?
There's nothing going on!
A teacher is here to talk to his student,
so I'm telling you to leave them alone.
The GED Exam is already next week.
It'll be difficult if you keep ditching classes.
You'll be there for sure tomorrow right?
(GED Exam Number/Kang In-kyung)
I do need to go, but...
Did something happen today?
What happened that you couldn’t come to class today?
Mr. Cha...
Have you ever been falsely accused before?
Falsely accused?
You know...
when you know you didn't do anything wrong...
you really didn't do anything wrong.
But people doubt your truth...
and believe you are a criminal.
That kind of stuff.
Did something like that happen to you today?
What happened?
No...
nothing...
It's just...
could a person who graduated from a good school like yourself
and smart as yourself be falsely accused of something like that?
Just out of curiosity.
Just...
wondering.
It's happened many times.
So many times, I've lost count.
Really?
Of course.
But you know...
all the world can point their finger and accuse me...
but if I have just one person who believes in me, then everything is fine.
I hope...
I'm that kind of person for you In-kyung.
Excuse me?
No matter what happens, I'm always going to be on your side.
Mr. Cha...
But just promise me one thing.
When you need a person to take your side,
I'm the first person you'll tell.
You promised!
Keum-soon.
Oh In-kyung... Did Mr. Cha leave?
Yep.
Keum-soon...
were you scared today?
-In-kyung... -I'm fine.
I didn't steal anything so nothing should happen.
Don't worry about it.
What are we going to do?
I told you not to worry,
everything will be fine.
While you're at it, do mine too.
An experienced person should do it.
When I try to do laundry, none of the dirt comes out.
Yes.
We had to leave Bonghwa so quickly, I didn't get to pack properly.
I don't have a thread to wear.
What's it called, the South Gate Market?
I heard they sell clothes at good prices there.
But I have no money... No money at all.
Look at you being sly, pretending not to hear me.
Mom...
I do!
I want to buy you and Han-soo nice clothes,
and buy you delicious food to eat.
But we can't afford any of that.
Do you know how much we're in debt?
Fine then!
If you don't want to, then don't do it!
Stop bringing up the debt when it's all in the past!
And how is that our debt?
It's all your debt.
Mother!
Mom...
Let's not do this.
By the way, why don't you find an easy part-time job?
I'm not asking for you to work a lot, just enough for some expenses.
You wretched girl.
You want to be mean because I asked you to do laundry?
In another words, you want me to pull my weight around here?
Alright! You spiteful girl.
I'd rather wash dishes at a restaurant than to hold out my hand for a penny from you!
Satisfied?
All the world can point their fingers and accuse me...
but if I have just one person who believes in me, then everything is fine.
I hope...
I'm that kind of person to you In-kyung.
-Excuse me? -No matter what happens...
I'm always going to be on your side.
You're right.
If you're on my side,
I'll be fine.
Really...
I'll be fine.
Hey Kang In-kyung!
You're the one who took my watch that was in my locker, aren't you?
-Give it back! -What are you talking about?
Give it back when I ask nicely!
I saved for three months to buy that watch!
Where did you lose your watch?
Why would I have it?
Look at this!
How dare you talk back when you're just a thief?
Give me back my watch! Give it back!
-Why are you doing this? -What do you think you're doing?
Give it back!
What is going on?
-Taking loose change, -Land you in jail.
-Taking loose change! -Lands you in jail!
You answer by yourself Kang In-kyung.
Loose change!
Lands you in jail.
Why so quiet?
Kang In-kyung! Where are you going?
It wasn't me.
The person who stole the money will go to jail.
The detective said he would investigate, so the thief will be caught.
No one is getting caught when you're the thief!
The CEO of Baekdu Movie will be my alibi.
That CEO already told us he didn't meet you.
What?
You want me to stay away from her?
Yes, I'm afraid President Lee is bribing local newspaper journalists.
I think he also leaked the copyright issue with "Youth" as well.
My father-in-law is doing this?
The journalist is looking into your father's
and your personal lives.
It's best to be careful during these times.
I understand...
what you're talking about.
Wait a minute please.
-What? -He said not to let anyone in.
Hey!
Does it look like I need permission from you to meet President Nam?
I need to put these in a vase before they start to wilt. So move!
He's with a guest right now!
A guest? Who?
Sechang... President Lee Hyung-ok.
What?
Who's in there?
President Lee from Sechang Movie Productions Company.
President Nam's in-law.
Lee Hyung-ok.
What does that bastard want and why is here to meet President Nam?
I'm sure you're not visiting while passing through.
What do you want?
I met Director Park a couple of days ago.
If "Youth" doesn't go through,
he's going to recommend Jung-ho be released of his duties.
He said, "How much are we going to lose?".
Director Park?
Did he end up Alzheimers or something?
You don't have to worry too much.
I already talked to him and stopped him.
But I hear...
"Father and son are butting heads"
"Father and son are vested in different movies"
senseless rumors like these are flying around.
Even if father and son are vested in different movies,
it's still all under Baekdu.
You're so right!
You know how I don't think things through. No thinking involved.
Did CEO Nam really say that?
That he never met me last night?
That's what he said.
Why do you keep making me say the same thing over and over?
It can't be true.
No, I was at Baekdu Productions last night.
I really didn't steal it!
Miss Kang In-kyung...
Do you want to go quietly or do you need to be cuffed first?
My goodness! She's saying she didn't do it.
How can you just take her to jail?
Who the hell are you?
Do you want to go to jail for interfering in an active investigation?
Please give me some time.
Then I'll be able to prove my innocence.
The person you're saying is your alibi is saying they didn't see you.
Why are you making things difficult?
I don't think you understand Kang In-kyung!
Guys!
Cuff her and take her in.
Just a minute detective.
You're going to drop all charges?
I'm not dropping the charges right away...
Like you said detective,
I am her boss...
so I should give her a chance don't I?
A chance?
The victim says he might consider dropping the charges...
so discuss it with him and see if you two can settle on something.
Miss Kang In-kyung...
you don't want to ruin the rest of life with a criminal record.
Well, then...
please call me if you need anything.
(Samchung-dong)
It's a problem that I'm so soft-hearted.
I'll give you 3 days.
Think about it carefully.
-About what? -We already talked about it last time.
If you over-look things just once...
you can live comfortably.
What did you say? Mr. Byun!
Woah woah!
I'm telling you this because I feel bad for you.
Think about it carefully.
Rather than going to jail,
you change your life for the better!
Hey Kang In-kyung!
If I don't drop charges, you're going straight to jail!
You don't even have a witness for your alibi either.
That witness...
I'm going to meet him myself.
Yes.
Kang In-kyung...
she's spreading strange rumors about her relationship with Mr. Nam.
She must've had problems at her hometown as well.
A while back, some guys were searching for her...
in our bus company and trashed all of our offices.
Yes, I understand.
What a weird lady.
Why is she bothering us during such stressful times?
This is only going to make Mr. Nam's position really awkward.
Just one minute, I just need a minute please.
Can I just see him?
How many times do I need to tell you he's not here.
Please go.
When will he be back?
I'll wait for him right here.
What do you think you're doing in front of our company?
Please get off our property before I call the police.
He just needs to say one thing:
that he met me last night.
He just needs to tell them he was with me last night.
Last night?
How dare you say such non-sense around here!
What kind of situation is this?
A driver's assistant...
I don't even think she's his type.
Please help me.
I'm begging you, please.
This month's Samchung-dong meeting is going to be really fun! Right?
Important guests will be there as well.
-We'll also see how we ruin Nam Jung-ho. -Hey!
What do you mean we ruined him?
Watch what you say Geun-tae!
If someone overheard,
they might think I was going crazy trying to pull down my own son-in-law.
Oh...yes. Is that the way it sounded?
I'm sorry Mr. Lee.
But...
to really celebrate on a day like that...
we'll need a flower to make everything merry.
Geun-tae,
do you remember that girl named Kang In-kyung?
Will we be able to see her that night?
Of course sir.
I planned everything out
so I can bring her nicely wrapped up.
I helped a lot in that plan Mr. Lee.
Oh you did?
Plans always go a lot faster when Chief Lim gets involved.
Right?
Good job.
How come In-kyung isn't coming out?
Mr. Byun told her she wasn't allowed to go out on her route.
Then...
what am I going to do?
I'll be...
I'll be going in her place.
You're going Keum-soon?
But... can you go on our route?
You look like you didn't get any sleep last night.
No...
I'm fine.
She's the real thief!
Where does she get off acting like an angel?
Should I...
tell everyone?
No, no.
If I get involved...
Mr. Byun will get mad at me too.
So frustrating!
I can't stand to see the sight of Oh Keum-soon!
Look for another theater.
What do you mean look somewhere else?
Our first show is just days away. How can you do this all of the sudden?
I heard you still haven't gotten approval for this play yet.
The script rating just needs to come out.
It'll be approved before opening night.
How am I supposed to trust you?
I can't let you rent this theater without rating approval.
If I get hauled off to jail, who is going to be responsible then? Who?
Show me your certificate for approval rating!
No, no. Just get out. Everyone get out of here!
Hi! How did it go?
I didn't get to see him.
What? You didn't meet him?
Now what are we going to do?
Oh no, this is a mess.
The only way you can prove your innocence is with his testimony.
Until then you won't be able to go on your route.
I have to meet him.
I have to meet him no matter what.
Now what are you going to do?
If you don't meet him, you won't be able to go on your routes.
Don't worry too much.
I'll think of something.
One way or another, I'm not going to let you be responsible for my debt.
What are you talking about? You think this is about your debt?
I know it's because you're worried about me.
I just feel bad.
I'm afraid you'll be humiliated because affiliated with me. I'm sorry.
I couldn't say anything before because In-kyung was next to us.
But I'm really worried about her.
What if the movie company's CEO keeps saying he didn't see her?
What if In-kyung really goes to jail? Oh jeez.
What are we going to do?
But you know...
Keum-soon?
Oh no!
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
I hurt your feelings by saying all those things.
I know you're already worried.
I'm so sorry!
What am I going to do?
That pretty face of your's is ruined!
-Mr. Huh... -Yes/
Go ahead, I'm listening.
Mr. Huh...
-Why do you like me? -Excuse me?
I'm nothing.
Why are you so nice to a person like me?
Don't you know Keum-soon?
You're my reason for living.
You're as sweet as an angel and I love watching you.
I'm so happy everyday when I am around you.
Mr. Huh...
What am I going to do now?
Please stop crying.
My heart is breaking...
because I'm watching you cry.
It's okay.
Please go ahead with your play as planned.
The theater issue has been resolved.
What are you talking about?
I met with the theater owner and signed a guarantee for you.
I told him I'd be responsible if anything goes wrong.
Why are you going to these lengths?
I want to make sure your play succeeds.
After "Youth's Race" succeeds...
I'll make it into a movie.
Cha Min-woo, you make the play...
I'll make the movie.
(Movie Production Agreement: "Youth")
Why is Jung-ho meeting Min-woo?
How is your movie "Youth" coming along?
You'd better get things in order before the board asks for your removal.
If that happens,
you know I wouldn't think twice about taking your resignation.
Is there a correlation between Jung-ho's movie and Min-woo's play?
Keum-soon is sweet as an angel?
Yeah right!
She steals then she blames it on her hometown friend!
Angels do that kind of stuff too?
(GED Exam Number/Kang In-kyung)
At this rate...
will I go to jail without even being able to see the GED test?
(Learning Night School)
I'll be going home Manager Ko.
Kang In-kyung!
That money...
I know you didn't steal it.
Why isn't my sister coming out?
In-kyung didn't come to class today.
She didn't go home either?
She didn't go to class?
I know who did.
I know who the thief is.
I saw everything!
What did you say?
You saw...
you saw the thief?
So if Manager Ko comes, all this will come to an end. Game over!
I don't think she was fooling around with me.
Just who would harass In-kyung that way?
They're going to go to hell.
I might really have to go to jail.
Did Mr. Byun really say he'd send you to jail?
In-kyung...
The truth is... You know...
Please don't harass anyone else.
Alright! Let's take this to the very end.
I think something is happening to Keum-soon!
Manager Ko is here!
Really?
