Did you ask to see me?
Mr. Kim.
Yes?
What did you do on the night of the 14th?
The 14th?
The 14th...
I went home early because my child was sick.
Did you? Do you remember seeing me outside my grandmother's office?
I was just about to go in when you came out.
Yes, I remember that.
Why did you go into the empty office?
Did my grandmother ask you to do something?
She didn't. I'd left something behind.
Oh, you left something?
If I remember correctly, you weren't carrying anything.
I'd left my wallet in here.
Oh, your wallet?
Why are you asking me such questions?
As you know, we're involved in an unfortunate incident.
I'm asking everyone about that night. Don't be too upset.
Oh, I see.
You can get to work.
I will.
- Hello? - Mr. Jung, bad news.
Mr. Kim asked what I did that night.
I think he suspects me.
I doubt that. Maybe he just asked a question.
No, I have a bad feeling. I took the key from Madam Cho's office...
to make a copy and bumped into Mr. Kim on the way out.
Did you?
Even so, he has no evidence. Deny you know anything.
What if he reports me?
Even if he does, you'll be released due to lack of evidence.
Even if what you did gets found out,
you must not mention me.
What do you mean? Do you want me to take the blame?
What I mean is, if something goes wrong,
I need to get you out, but if the police find about our connection,
I won't be able to help you then.
Even if the worst comes to the worst,
you must not mention me.
You don't have to worry though.
The worst case scenario won't happen.
I trust you to take care of this.
I will. Goodbye.
Secretary Kim just called.
Madam Cho's grandson seems to suspect him...
due to an incident.
Really?
We need a way out just in case it goes wrong.
We need something to keep Secretary Kim quiet...
even if he gets caught.
I'll find something.
Yes, do that.
I will pay Madam Cho a visit.
Drive safely.
I need you to look into something.
I'd left something behind.
If I remember correctly, you weren't carrying anything.
I'd left my wallet in here.
Hello, can I speak to Inspector Yoo Jae Il?
This is he.
Hello.
It's been a while.
You must be busy. Thanks for the time.
I'd never refuse to see you.
I read the newspaper articles. What happened?
Chungil would never do that.
I called to see you to ask for a favor.
A favor? What is it?
Find out about this man.
(Resume: Kim Chang Min)
Who is he?
My grandma's secretary.
Her secretary... Why?
Do you suspect him?
I'm not sure, but I sense something. Can you find out?
Sure. I'll see what I can find.
Thanks.
So Jae Man went to visit Chungil Flour's chairperson?
- Yes. - She's a nasty person...
who added limestone powder into food. Why visit her?
I said that too.
Jae Man said the chairperson would never do such a thing...
and even bought some expensive ginseng.
He said we shouldn't turn against her when others do.
He should've given me the ginseng, not her.
Mom, I think Dad's really amazing.
His business must have suffered because of this scandal.
Exactly. I just can't understand him.
Me neither.
Why are you here? Shouldn't you be working?
Are you waiting for the investment to pay off?
I guess you could say that.
You're going back to your old ways.
Get back to work, will you?
Okay, I will.
Just wait until I get back 10 times what I put in.
You won't see anything extra.
What? When will you grow up?
- My goodness... - Mom.
We need to furnish the Seoul house before Jeong Wook's family moves in.
Can you pick out the furniture?
We're buying them a house and the furniture too?
They can't move into that huge house without any furniture.
What's wrong with you and your dad?
You're always giving away.
I can't deal with this right now.
Dal Ja, I promise that you won't have to get them wet.
What's wrong with me? Why do I keep thinking of that?
Thinking of what?
What? It's nothing.
Is something bothering you? You tossed and turned last night.
Is it about money?
It's not that. It's nothing, so you don't have to worry.
Here's some rice cake from my grandson's first birthday.
Your grandson's a year old already?
When will I get to hold my grandchild?
What's there to get jealous about?
You will once your daughters get married.
Really? I'm not sure about kids, but I'm positive I won't go hungry.
I had some Japanese snacks yesterday.
Aren't they expensive?
Men who love their wives will bow at her family's dog.
Sergeant Bae gave some to us through Dal Ja.
Did he? That young man called Choon Bok...
must really have fallen for her.
I guess so.
Look who just showed up.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Why are you here in the middle of the day?
I came to ask you for a favor.
A favor? What is it?
Can I visit your family this evening?
Why would you want to do that?
He wants to meet everyone and make it official.
I see. But Dal Ja didn't say anything.
I think it's a bit too much for her.
I want to meet everyone and get married soon,
but she's stalling.
That's why I'm here to ask for your help.
Are you?
Dal Ja must be shy.
The man has to push forward.
- Help him out. - Should I?
Okay. I'll talk to my two women.
Come home with me.
Can I really do that?
Of course you can. Who am I?
Staff Sergeant Yoon Dong Chul and I saved your life once.
I'll get you married too.
You have my full trust. Thank you.
He's funny.
Have you given up working at the factory now?
Should you be here during work hours?
I haven't given up anything.
I worked so hard to make the employees rich.
What did you do?
Mr. Hwang's investment.
I told them about it and almost everyone invested.
It's only a matter of time before everyone becomes rich.
I told them to play safe but someone even brought the deed to his house.
What will you do if something goes wrong?
You'll jinx the deal. Wet your nose right now.
Don't put a damper on my spirits. This can't go wrong.
How do you know that?
See, when you run a business, you must be willing to take risks.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the payout.
That's why you can't own a business if you don't have the guts.
Enough about that. How much did you invest?
I didn't.
Why not? I had a good feeling about this.
I think safety and security's best.
Oh, dear...
You are too timid and easily scared.
That's what I'm like and will always be like.
I wish you make a fortune and buy a lot of coffee from me.
That's enough for me.
Sure. I can make a fortune and come here for a lot of coffee.
Other than being weak and tired,
does any part of you hurt at all?
I am fine. The young lady who stays with me...
looked after me well so I feel much better than I did yesterday.
You mustn't overdo it.
The best thing you can do is to do nothing but rest.
Okay, okay, will you stop nagging?
Did she eat anything?
No, she barely can.
You need to eat even better at times like this.
If she can't take rice, make her some porridge.
Not plain gruel but with abalone or beef for added nutrients.
I was hoping to go and get some groceries...
but then she'd be alone.
Could you stay a little while until I get what I need?
Sure. We have to wait until the drip is done anyway.
That should give you time. Go ahead.
Thank you. I won't be long.
I brought some ginseng.
It's not much but I hope it'll speed your recovery.
I'm not sure I should accept this after what's been going on.
Eat this and get well soon.
Thank you.
How are things going on at Chungil?
My grandson's hard at work.
I am so sorry for the trouble this must have caused you.
The truth will come out one day.
We plan to continue doing business with you.
Don't worry. If there's anything I can do to help,
just tell me and I'll do everything within my power.
Thank you so much.
You are giving me a lot of strength and courage already.
I didn't do anything.
I saw a young lady leave the house. Do you have a granddaughter?
Oh, that would be my helper. She went to get some groceries.
Oh, I see.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Seon Woo? Yes.
Mr. Jung is paying me a visit.
Really? Jae Il?
Okay, I understand.
Keep up the good work.
Was that your grandson?
Yes. A friend of his agreed to help.
They met in high school.
The friend's slightly older and he's now a detective.
Oh, is he?
Could you tell me which department he's at?
Why do you ask?
I'd like to know about whoever's helping you.
I'm happy for you.
It's a great relief. I'm so glad I have people...
willing to help me through a hard time such as this.
Right. I think I took up too much of your time.
I should go.
Thank you for coming so far to see me.
Please, don't get up. I'll see myself out.
Rest well.
He's getting a detective from HQ...
to help reveal the truth?
I see you're trying, but it won't be easy.
Who are you?
Excuse me. Does a Mr. Kim Chang Min live here?
Kim Chang Min?
Oh, the tenant family's dad. He's out at the moment.
Who are you anyway?
I'm an old friend.
I came by when I heard his child was sick.
His child was sick?
We met on Monday and he went home early saying his kid was sick.
On Monday?
That's strange.
His wife visited her parents to celebrate her dad's birthday...
and he came home late drunk.
Are you sure about that?
Yes. I saw him when I came out to throw out the trash.
Did you?
Apparently he got really rich all of a sudden.
The family's moving to a huge house in Seongbuk-dong.
I haven't found a tenant to move in which means a loss for me.
- Thanks for your help. - Sure.
Seongbuk-dong?
Stop it. Go away!
- Step aside! - Don't go in there.
- Look at this. - Don't.
Look at this!
Where's the chairperson? Where is she?
What's going on?
They have relatives in hospital for ingesting limestone powder.
Who are you? Are you the chairman?
- I'm her grandson. - Are you?
You mixed limestone powder into flour to make a bigger profit?
My wife's in hospital because of you.
What will you do about that?
I apologize.
My son almost died because of your flour.
You evil scum!
Our company will compensate you for your troubles.
What?
Do you think money will solve it? People are dying!
Take responsibility for your actions!
This is your company's fault!
- Get out! - Let go!
- Let me go! - Get out!
Let go of me right now! Let go!
Hello?
Jae Il, what do you know?
Kim Chang Min's alibi is a lie.
He recently got the deeds to a 330m² house in Seongbuk-dong.
Really?
It was well covered-up so I couldn't tell who bought it,
but I managed to confirm some other crucial information.
Like what?
He bought lime powder that day...
and made a copy of a key.
Is that true?
I send all the evidence to a friend with the Central District Police.
They'll come for him soon.
Thanks, Jae Il. But the thing is,
I really don't think Mr. Kim did it alone.
We need to find out who's behind this.
Right. I hope we can get him to spill in interrogation.
Most criminals do. Don't worry.
Okay, thanks a lot.
I owe you.
Talk to you soon.
- Mr. Kim Chang Min. - Yes?
We're the Central District Police.
You're under arrest for breaking the Food Sanitation Act.
You can't do that. Do you have proof?
You can't go around arresting just anyone.
We can talk at the station.
- Take him. - Yes, sir.
Let go. Take your hands off me.
Come with us.
(CEO Jung Jae Man)
Sir, the police arrested Secretary Kim.
- What? - I'd hired a man...
to spy on him. They took Mr. Kim to the Central District Station.
What did he do to get caught?
The second he mentions my name,
everything will be lost!
We have to silence him.
Do you have anything on him?
Nothing special yet.
I told him to keep looking. I'm waiting for a call.
What if we waste time and still get nothing?
I'll do what I can to find a way.
He won't be able to confess right away,
but sitting in a cell might change his mind.
We must do something.
Right.
How many times must I say that I didn't do it?
Will you go on lying?
Do I have to show you the evidence?
What evidence?
This statement from the owner of Euljiro's...
Daesung Chemicals says you bought lime powder.
That's not all.
The locksmith at Seoul Locks in Jongno, your landlady.
We have witnesses who will testify that you lied.
There's no way out.
You can prove I bought lime powder and copied a key,
but there's nothing that proves I mixed the powder in the flour.
Mr. Kim, stalling and denying won't get you anywhere.
You must confess to get a shorter sentence.
Okay, then. Fine.
We have all the evidence we need and you can't get out of this one.
I'll ask you one thing.
Did you do it alone or is there a mastermind?
Even if what you did gets found out, you must not mention me.
If something goes wrong,
I need to get you out, but if the police find about...
about our connection, I won't be able to help you then.
Tell me right now. Did you do it alone?
Who are we expecting...
that we had to close up early to wait at home for?
Couldn't Dong Chul have told us earlier?
Did he say anything last night?
No. I heard only what you heard.
What are we all waiting at home for?
Come on inside.
- Thanks. - Come in.
My goodness.
- Sit over here. - Gosh.
Oh well...
What are you doing here, Choon Bok?
I came to say hello. Are you all well?
Yes. How come...
I told him to come over.
He's going to become family anyway. Why put off a formality?
This is for you.
I bought you some beef and fruit.
My goodness. You didn't have to get us anything.
Oh dear.
We closed the restaurant in a hurry and couldn't cook anything.
- I'm so sorry. - That's not a problem.
I'm just happy to get to say hello to you all.
Are you really that pleased?
Yes, I am.
Are you celebrating something?
I heard the laughter from outside.
- Did you just get off work? - Yes.
That man...
Say hello.
He's the man Dal Ja will marry.
We fought in the army together. His name is Bae Choon Bok.
He came by to make it official.
Oh, I see. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
I'll head to my room and leave you to talk.
Sure. Get a good night's sleep.
Shall we talk about Dal Ja's wedding then?
Why do I feel like this?
Dal Ja's fiance came to say hello,
so why do I feel so rotten?
I said we should take things slowly.
You can't just barge in like this.
Do you know how surprised I was?
I'm sorry, Dal Ja.
It's fine. Go home.
I'm really sorry. I just like you so much.
I won't do things my way without asking you first.
Will you forgive me this once?
You really can't do this again, okay?
Okay, I won't.
When will we go to meet my family in Anseong?
Choon Bok.
Oh, okay. Slowly, slowly.
Dal Ja.
Are you just getting off work?
Who's this?
Is this him? Are you Dal Ja's boyfriend?
What? Oh, yes.
Who is she, Dal Ja?
This is Ms. Oh, one of the tenants.
Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Bae Choon Bok.
I'm Oh Seol Hee.
This is a match made in paradise.
Do you think so?
Yes. Because of that mole.
What? My mole?
You see, Dal Ja had her fortune told...
Choon Bok, you should go before it gets too late.
I should get going, then.
- Right. - Bye.
Go on.
Go inside.
Don't push, I want a good look.
Go inside.
Did you find anything out?
Yes.
You did? Did they find the culprit?
Who is it?
Seon Woo.
Don't be too surprised.
Who is it?
I think Secretary Kim did it.
What? Secretary Kim?
Why would he do that?
I don't know why.
I believe someone put him up to it.
What? Are you saying someone else is behind this?
Do you suspect anyone?
I can't think. I can't believe that Mr. Kim...
would do something like that in secret.
We should know more tomorrow. Try to get some rest.
Okay. I think I need some rest.
Okay. Sleep well.
How... My goodness.
I checked and I still don't have anything on Secretary Kim.
What about his family?
His parents are dead. He has a wife and young son...
and one younger brother.
A brother?
Yes. He's in university and currently under arrest...
for protesting for democracy.
Secretary Kim was very worried about him.
Is that so?
I think we should get to him.
How do you mean?
Why did you want to see me so late at night?
Don't ask me why.
Pass this to Kim Chang Min before daybreak.
He's in a cell in the Central District Station.
Okay, I'll do that.
(Chungil Flour)
He still hasn't confessed?
Not only that, he completely shut down.
He's either given up or thinks someone has his back.
Okay, thank you.
Have a chat.
Chang Min.
Are you all right?
Who are you?
What's going on? Are you okay?
Did Mr. Jung send you?
Hang in there and look after yourself.
I'll come by again. Good luck.
Secretary Kim, I'm sorry this happened.
You did the deed, so you must pay the price.
If you get any silly ideas,
your little brother who's in jail for protesting...
could go away for life for spying for the communists.
He has many years ahead of him.
Don't ruin his life for him.
I hope you will do as I say.
If you cooperate, for as long as you're in prison,
I will pay your brother's tuition and support your family.
I hope you make the right choice.
Destroy this letter however you can.
Have a short chat.
Thank you.
Secretary Kim.
Mr. Kim.
I know well that you didn't do this alone.
Tell me who put you up to this.
The sooner you confess, the better it is for you.
Tell me who's behind it...
and I'll do whatever I can to help you.
Trust me.
Mr. Kim.
Yes, you can talk to me.
Well... The truth is...
Madam Cho's grandson is tougher than I thought.
Where'd you get the Seongbuk-dong house?
I did it. I did it alone.
Please don't do this. Someone made you do it.
I'll start working at Chungil tomorrow.
Seon Woo, how did you know I was here?
I need your help.
Mr. Jang? What did you talk about?
I'm going to the sea to take photos. Will you join me?
