Choon Ja!
- Toss him. - Okay.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
(Episode 137)
What happened?
Why isn't he showing up?
Did something happen to him?
Excuse me.
What brings you here?
Where's Jeong Tae?
Jeong Tae? I haven't seen him today.
Why do you ask?
We were supposed to meet but he didn't show up.
I thought he'd be here.
Let's look together. I might have missed him.
How did it go?
I got rid of Jeong Tae.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
The girl you used as bait doesn't know you're behind it?
You bet she doesn't.
You can go then.
People will suspect you if you're away for too long.
What? Right, okay. Boss.
We have to get rid of Jeong Hoon before...
he finds out about his brother's death.
What happened to Jeong Tae?
You won't have to see him again.
What? Do you mean he's dead?
He agreed to meet up with you but he didn't show up?
That's what she said.
He shouldn't be blowing her off already.
But what got into him?
If he didn't go to see you, why isn't he here either?
How strange.
Mr. Jo, did you send Jeong Tae on an errand?
No, I didn't. Why?
- Because he's not here. - Right.
- He's not at work? - No.
I don't think so.
He still hasn't come in yet?
I should just fire him.
Who's that young lady?
Jeong Tae's girlfriend.
He didn't show up for their date so she came looking for him.
What's he doing,
ignoring his girlfriend and all?
Why aren't you all at work?
- What? - We're leaving.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Wait.
What?
Did something happen to Jeong Tae?
Do you know anything?
Why would you ask me?
I don't know anything.
Where is he?
Bok Shil.
Is Jeong Tae home?
No, not yet.
He's watching a movie with you.
Yes, but he didn't show up and...
he's not at the cabaret.
He stood you up and didn't come to work?
No. I waited all this while and he didn't come.
Choon Ja, what are you talking about?
Jeong Tae stood Choon Ja up.
And missed work too.
Then where did he go?
What happened to your arm? You're hurt.
I bumped into a bike while...
waiting for Jeong Tae and got a scar.
- Oh, Jeong Hoon. - Yes.
Have you heard from Jeong Tae today?
No. Why, Mom?
He missed work today...
and stood Choon Ja up for their date.
What?
- He didn't call home? - No.
Do you think something happened to him?
How come you're with Sang Pil?
I stopped by his office to escort him home.
Did you go to Sohyun-dong?
What if we did? I've never been so mistreated in my life.
To be honest, would Jeong Hoon's family want to see us?
They didn't even look at us.
Go upstairs.
Mi Jin.
Do you still love Jeong Hoon?
What do you want me to do?
He told your dad to give up the election.
What?
He made that demand despite being offered the company.
That means he wants to take everything your father has.
Can you still not give up on him?
Hey.
Why are you out here?
Did you see Jeong Tae at work today?
We didn't.
- Choon Ja came to see him too. - Right.
He didn't show up until it was time for us to leave.
Where do you think he went?
Why isn't he coming home yet?
What happened to him?
Why did he stand me up and not come to work either?
By the way, how did you end up getting hurt?
What? Oh, this.
I bumped into a bike while waiting for Jeong Tae.
Did you? Is it bad? Let me see.
It's not serious.
It's just a little scar,
but the guy who bumped into me dragged me to see a doctor.
- Where did he go? - Hey.
Mal Soon, did Jeong Tae come to work?
He didn't.
Choon Ja, come with me.
- Jeong Tae, let's talk. - Okay.
I'll wait for Jeong Tae. Go inside, Mom.
Do you think something happened to him?
He'll be fine. Don't worry.
Do that, ma'am. Jeong Hoon and I will wait for him.
Do you have something to say?
Choon Ja's story bothered me.
What story?
Choon Ja, your accident with the bike.
Tell us what happened in detail.
Okay. I was waiting for Jeong Tae outside the cinema.
A guy on a bike bumped into me.
I didn't hurt at all apart from a scar here,
but the guy on the bike dragged me to a hospital.
Even when you said you were okay?
Yes. It was nearing the time I was supposed to meet Jeong Tae,
and I wasn't badly hurt so I said I'd be okay,
but he dragged me to a hospital by force.
He insisted I needed to be treated.
Tell me all about him.
What did he look like? Did you notice anything odd?
Now that you ask, it seemed a bit strange.
What did?
There were eggs on the bike and they fell...
and got smashed when he bumped into me.
He didn't seem to mind the eggs.
He just grabbed onto me and took me to a hospital.
And the bike?
He left it in the street.
Now I think he didn't look like...
an ordinary guy from the street.
He didn't seem ordinary?
No. He seemed a bit like a thug.
He had a scar on his face.
A scar?
Yes. It looked like he'd been hurt by a knife.
Do you think something happened to him?
Do you?
Mom, go inside.
Yes, Mom. You didn't sleep at all waiting for Jeong Tae.
Are you going to work?
I'll go to places Jeong Tae could be at.
Come to the cabaret with me first.
I want to ask his boss...
if something happened to him.
I'll go and ask. You wait at home.
Jeong Tae might call.
Yes, Mom. Stay at home.
Jeong Hoon, I'll come with you.
I can manage on my own.
Are you leaving for work?
Yes.
What brings you here?
I came to see your mother before heading to the campaign office.
I see.
I'd like to speak with you.
Tell your brother to join us.
He's not at home.
He isn't?
Why are you here?
I came to apologize...
for what I did to you.
Jeong Hoon and Jeong Tae...
seem to have the wrong idea about me,
but I think that's all my fault.
I won't make any excuses.
I'm very ashamed of my past mistakes.
Forgive me, ma'am.
I heard that...
my wife and daughter visited you yesterday.
Mi Jin's only fault...
is that she has me for a father.
She's adamant that she can't divorce Jeong Hoon,
so as her father,
I had no choice but to come and see you.
I'll do...
everything I can do for you.
As I told Jeong Hoon,
I plan to give him the company.
I'll also clear Jeong Tae's name...
so he doesn't need to be ashamed.
I came to ask you to forgive me...
and accept my daughter as your daughter-in-law again.
I won't...
force our kids to split up.
Thank you for saying so.
Some regrettable things happened,
but I never stopping thinking of Jeong Hoon as a son.
Please accept my daughter as yours...
and let our children grow old together as a couple.
I didn't think you'd visit us so early.
Mi Jin said she visited your mother yesterday...
and was upset that she didn't even look at her.
That bothered me all night.
That's why I came to see your mother.
Tell her once more that I sincerely...
apologize for everything.
I hoped to see your brother as well...
and explain that Jo Dong Cheol duped me into framing him.
It's a pity I missed him.
Yesterday,
Jeong Tae didn't come home.
Or show up for work.
I was about to see Mr. Jo to ask him about it.
To meet with Jo Dong Cheol?
What would he have to do with...
your brother not coming home?
Do you really know nothing about it?
What don't I know?
I'll tell you when I find out.
Do you think something bad happened to him?
Do you suspect me again?
I offered you a truce.
I asked you to cover up my past.
Why would I cause you...
or your brother more harm?
I wish you'd stop thinking terribly about me.
Goodbye.
Wasn't that Mr. Hwang?
Why did he come here?
He came to apologize to my mom but I don't know what he's up to.
- Still nothing from Jeong Tae? - No.
I think something happened.
Choon Ja's story bothers me too.
Me too. So I'm off to see Jo Dong Cheol.
I'll come with you.
No. You check places Jeong Tae could be at.
- Okay. Go ahead. - Okay.
- Jeong Hoon. - Hi.
How is Jeong Tae?
- Did he come home last night? - No.
He didn't come home?
And he didn't call?
No.
Oh, dear.
Soon Young, he'll be okay, won't he?
Yes. Of course, he will.
Do you know Yong Chil from the cabaret?
He was a bit strange yesterday.
What do you mean?
Everyone else was worried that Jeong Tae was missing...
but he seemed anxious and couldn't look anyone in the eye.
Yong Chil was like that?
I was going to talk to him too.
Okay. Thanks, Soon Young.
Cheer up.
- Jeong Tae will be fine. - Okay.
I told you to stay hidden. Why did you call?
Don't call me until I call you.
Got that? Bye.
What brings you here, Director Oh?
Don't you know why I'm here?
You got nothing to say about Jeong Tae?
I have no idea what you mean.
Jeong Tae's missing.
He's missing? He didn't come to work yesterday.
Did he not come home either?
Wasn't it you?
Didn't you do something to him?
What are you talking about?
You're right.
I'd love to sort your brother out for good.
You can go now.
Oh, and tell your brother that if he doesn't...
want to work here, he can quit.
Where's Yong Chil?
Yong Chil? Why? Do you think I'm hiding him?
Look for him then.
He's not in here. Where is he?
Yong Chil. Park Yong Chil.
You're here to see me?
How do you know where I live?
Kyung Ho's father got me your address.
You know why I'm here.
How would I know?
Jeong Tae didn't come home yesterday.
Why are you telling me about that?
You know something.
Yong Chil, talk to me.
I don't know anything. I don't.
Hey, look at me. Look into my eyes.
Yong Chil.
What happened to Jeong Tae? Where is he?
I said I don't know. Darn it.
Yong Chil!
Soon Young, shouldn't you go home?
Jeong Hoon went to see Yong Chil.
I want to hear what he said. I can't leave until then.
Okay.
Ok Boon, have you still not heard from Jeong Tae?
Not yet.
Why do you think he didn't come home?
Mr. Kim, Choon Ja.
Jeong Hoon left to find out what he can. Let's wait a bit.
I'll look for him too.
Where do you think you can find him?
I'll go wherever I can. I can't just wait.
Mom, I'll go too.
Soon Young, do you mind staying with my mom?
Don't worry and go ahead.
I'm sure Jeong Tae will be fine.
He will be. He must be.
(CEO, Cha Sang Pil)
Sir, I think Se Ra's looking for another agency.
Another agency?
Yes. Starlight Agency just called...
to ask if her contract with us is really over.
Mr. Han seems to be calling agencies too.
They asked about him too.
What?
Se Ra.
Jin Kyu, I'd like to speak with Mr. Cha.
What? Oh, sure.
Jeong Tae didn't come home last night.
Do you know anything?
I don't.
You were involved in setting up Jeong Hoon's arrest.
Do you really know nothing?
Why are you complaining to me that he didn't come home for one night?
Mi Jin's father came to see us this morning.
- Mr. Hwang? - Yes.
I find it odd that he came over the day Jeong Tae didn't come home.
If you and him weren't involved in...
Se Ra, let's stop talking about that.
I heard you're calling other agencies.
Are you really going to leave us and start elsewhere?
Se Ra. Your album was postponed.
We didn't cancel the project.
Why are you acting out like this?
- You're really shameless. - What?
Are you still trying to placate me?
Will you still say you love me?
Can you give up on your ambitions...
and cut all ties with Mr. Hwang?
If you do that, I'll trust you.
It's up to you.
Kyung Ho.
Let's talk over tea.
Do you know as well?
Mr. Hwang's a really dangerous man.
I didn't know much about him.
I was shocked when I found out.
You came here to say that?
Se Ra quit Lucky Entertainment.
You won't start over with her, will you?
She left you to date someone else.
Don't forget that.
Ma'am, I cooked something. Come and eat.
Don't mind me and go home.
What about Min Su?
My aunt's watching him.
I'll leave when Bok Shil returns.
You need to eat something. Okay?
Mother.
Why are you here?
Let's go inside. I came to talk.
Go home.
I don't want to hear anything you say.
Your father was here this morning. Why are you here too?
Mother.
Can't you come back later?
She has a lot on her mind right now.
Let go.
How dare you act like her daughter-in-law?
Don't get your hopes up.
Jeong Hoon and I will never get divorced.
Jeong Hoon, have you heard anything about Jeong Tae?
Yong Chil seems to know something but he won't talk.
I'll see him again later.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
Professor Park.
What?
My brother?
Yes.
Okay. Thanks for calling, sir.
Bye.
Was that Professor Park?
Yes.
The bodyguard he sent followed Jeong Tae to protect him,
but Jeong Tae evaded him and disappeared.
He called to ask why.
If Jeong Tae evaded him,
he must have had a good enough reason.
I don't think Choon Ja's accident was a coincidence.
I think they approached her to buy some time...
and used her to lure Jeong Tae.
I think so too.
We should call the police.
I'll come with you.
- I'll go on my own then. - Okay.
Why are you here?
I visited your mother.
I went to talk to her...
but she won't even look at me.
When she's so nice to Soon Young.
What do you want to say?
- Jeong Hoon. - Right now...
Jeong Tae's missing.
What do you mean he's missing?
I don't think it's an accident.
Do you think my dad's behind it?
Do you?
Sir.
Construction on the dam resumed. Will Director Oh stay in Korea?
He'll go abroad soon. Don't mind that.
With the embezzlement charges and all,
I have a bad feeling about him, and I would like him to leave soon.
My gosh.
Stop being nosy and get back to work.
Yes, sir.
Why are you here?
I went to Sohyun-dong.
Why bother going there?
Why did you go there? You were there this morning.
Dad.
About Jeong Tae's disappearance.
Are you somehow involved?
Did you do something to him?
I don't know anything. It has nothing to do with me.
Go on home.
Jeong Hoon thinks you're behind it.
He won't say so outright,
but he seems to think you had someone harm Jeong Tae.
Mi Jin, I think it's over between you and Jeong Hoon.
I said we should reconcile...
but he's being stubborn and won't trust me.
Must you cling to him?
End it with Jeong Hoon.
Do as I say.
It's so hot.
Hey.
Was it you?
- You did it, right? - Who are you?
Where's Jeong Tae? Where is he?
Let go. Let go of me now!
You framed him and sent him to prison...
and then this?
I'll make you pay.
Hand him over! Where's Jeong Tae?
Choon Ja.
What's all this nonsense?
Choon Ja.
Are you okay?
Hey! Stop where you are! Come back here!
Choon Ja.
He did it!
He's the one who hurt Jeong Tae!
Jeong Tae.
Where are you?
Jeong Tae...
I'm sorry, Jeong Tae.
I should've stopped Mr. Jo.
I'm sorry.
Can we talk?
Soon Young.
Jeong Hoon.
What do you want to tell me about Yong Chil?
You should talk to him again. He said something strange.
What did he say?
"I'm sorry, Jeong Tae."
"I should've stopped Mr. Jo. I'm sorry."
What else would that mean?
Yong Chil really said that?
Yes.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon seems to suspect me.
Mi Jin told me that...
he thinks I'm involved in Jeong Tae's disappearance.
It's not just him. The whole family thinks so.
Jeong Hoon's sister came to see me.
She asked about Jeong Tae.
You should get Mi Jin divorced.
There's no time to waste.
Have them divorced and deal with Jeong Hoon too.
I should do that.
I told Mi Jin clearly.
It's time to push ahead.
Hwang Chang Shik speaking.
Congressman Oh, why...
Yes.
I will.
What is he upset about now?
What did he say?
He wants to see me right now.
I should go, I guess.
I'll come with you.
Okay.
You.
Wait outside.
I don't know what this is about, but let's sit.
We can talk over a meal...
Hwang Chang Shik.
What kind of person are you?
You stole your in-laws' fortune?
I wouldn't be surprised seeing that you picked pockets.
Congressman Oh.
As if that wasn't enough,
you sent your son-in-law's brother to prison...
and caused their grandmother's death?
You had your son-in-law arrested for embezzlement to cover that up?
Sir, that's...
Congressman, you're mistaken.
I don't know where you heard...
Are you in on it?
What kind of a family colludes to do all that?
If my daughter heard about all that,
I guess everyone knows by now.
Your son-in-law knows all about what you did too.
Let's not waste time.
I just can't deal with trash like you.
What you did could get me in danger too.
Our party can't nominate...
or support someone like you.
Will it be just me...
to lose the badge of Congress?
Congressman Oh.
Do you think you were...
born with the golden badge?
I started at rock bottom and went through a lot to get here.
So many people want to drag me down.
I thought that you believed in me...
and wanted to do a lot with me.
I gave you my heart, my money, and everything I had.
You seem to have forgotten.
What are you saying?
If I'm threatened,
so will you.
You'd better...
get me out of this mess.
What?
Yong Chil.
Hey. Are you okay?
Why are you here again?
Tell me everything you know.
I'll keep it a secret that you told me.
Jeong Hoon. I don't know anything.
You and Jeong Tae were friends since long time ago.
You don't just hate him.
It was Mr. Jo, wasn't it?
He did something to Jeong Tae, didn't he?
Yong Chil. Yong Chil.
I won't put you in danger, okay?
Please tell me.
Where's Jeong Tae?
What did Mr. Jo do?
Jeong Tae...
Go on. Jeong Tae what?
Jeong Tae's dead...
Jeong Hoon.
What did you say?
Jeong Tae's...
dead?
No, right?
He isn't, is he?
Tell me he isn't. Tell me!
Mr. Jo said...
he'd dealt with Jeong Tae this time.
I feel terrible about it too.
If he knows I told you,
Mr. Jo will kill me too.
I'll go into hiding for a while.
Don't look for me.
Yong Chil.
Jeong Tae.
(Through the Waves)
Where's Hwang Chang Shik?
Are you crazy?
Where's Jeong Tae? What did you do to him?
Jeong Tae!
Jeong Tae...
- Do you have proof? - I think Mr. Jo did it.
I'll call when I have the money. Wait.
My father-in-law...
has a ledger with all the bribes he gave you.
A ledger?
He fell into his own trap.
We found where Jo Dong Cheol's men are hiding out.
