- You can leave, Mr. Chae. - Yes, sir.
Why are you both here?
We came to discuss something.
What's there to discuss?
You get rid of Oh Jeong Tae.
I have men following him, so they'll do it when they can.
They couldn't last night because he met Jeong Hoon.
He met Jeong Hoon?
He told me he worked until late last night.
Was he actually with his brother at that time?
Why do you think he hid that he met his brother?
Uncle, you need to send him abroad soon.
Jeong Tae said he'd let everything go,
but he saved Professor Park.
He lied to you and did something behind your back.
Professor Park taught Jeong Hoon in university.
Jeong Tae might not be acting alone.
Jeong Hoon knows how his grandmother died.
- What? - What do you mean?
He never showed that he knew anything.
Why would that be?
He's plotting with his brother...
to do something behind my back.
It's not just Jeong Tae's who's the problem now.
We can't let Jeong Hoon be either.
- What? - Then...
If Jeong Hoon knows about his grandmother's death,
could that be why he's delaying construction to stay in the country?
To make you pay?
He may know about everything, not just the woman's death.
The bag of gold...
and that we sent his brother to prison.
What? Then you can just ask him.
We can't approach this so easily.
Why is he being so cautious?
Is it because of his daughter?
If he can't do it, we should.
We just have to get rid of both Jeong Tae and Jeong Hoon.
I'll do it.
Don't act rashly and just wait.
You'll just make another mistake.
- What? - Get going.
I'll meet Jeong Hoon.
I'll do what I want.
(Planning Director, Oh Jeong Hoon)
(Episode 132)
What brings you here?
Did you tell Mi Jin that her father could've attacked Professor Park?
Even if it was my uncle's idea,
shouldn't you have covered for him?
Why did you tell Mi Jin about it?
I had no intentions.
I told her my thoughts because I didn't want to lie to her.
Professor Park taught you in university?
Are you close?
I don't know him personally.
Why do you ask?
I just...
wanted to know what you think about him.
People say his students think very highly of him.
I wondered if you do too.
I respect him as a professor...
but right now he's Father's competitor.
Of course, I support Father now.
Do you? I'm glad you think so.
Can I give you some advice too?
If you want to help Father,
assist him so he wins the election without breaking any laws.
I'll keep that in mind.
I was young, but I remember that...
Dad had a young man as a lackey.
Wasn't that Jo Dong Cheol?
No. You're mistaken.
Am I?
Why are you asking about Mr. Jo?
I just got curious.
They say he attacked the candidate my dad's up against.
Did my dad tell him to do so?
He didn't.
Ms. Hwang, is something on your mind?
Is it because you can't go abroad yet?
You don't need to know.
I'm going home. You can leave too.
Okay.
Why are Mr. Hwang and Mr. Cha being so careful?
It'll just take one blow.
Who is it?
What brings you here?
I came to ask you something.
Me? About what?
Professor Park, my dad's rival.
Did you attack him?
Yes. I just did what Mr. Hwang told me to.
Why do you want to know about that?
So my dad told you to attack his competitor?
Didn't you know that already?
Then is it true that you and...
my dad pickpocketed together?
I remember the young man my dad hung out with.
Was that you, Mr. Jo?
You remember me.
When I was pickpocketing with Mr. Hwang,
you were a girl just this tall.
What?
So my dad...
picked pockets?
How could this be?
No. It's not true.
Wait.
I don't know why you asked me about the past,
but there's something else I think you should know.
It's about your husband.
Mr. Hwang and I found a bag during the war.
You can say we stole it.
The bag was full of gold bars.
Mr. Hwang was able to start Daeguk Construction...
because of that bag of gold.
Talk about Jeong Hoon.
I don't want to hear about stories like that.
That bag of gold...
belonged to Jeong Hoon's family.
What?
The bag we stole...
belonged to your husband's family.
The thing is,
Oh Jeong Tae knows that.
I think Jeong Hoon knows that too.
The second those brothers talk about this,
your father will go down.
Why do you think your father can't kill Jeong Hoon when he knows it?
It's all because of you.
Now it's time for you to think...
what you can do for your father.
That's why I told you about it.
How could this be?
How could Dad...
No. It's not true.
Come in here.
There are a few dresses in the changing room.
Use those as a template.
Okay. What about the design?
You worked in a boutique. You figure out the design, miss.
You can't call her "miss". She's a mom now.
That's right. You're no longer a miss.
Just call her "miss". It sounds so nice.
- Call me Soon Young. - Okay.
Is Min Su well?
I only saw him a few times, but I keep thinking of him.
How much do you think Ok Boon misses him?
Why are you two still here? The hall is filling up.
- Okay. Let's go. - Okay.
- I'm off to the kitchen. - I have to work too.
Aunt, is Jeong Tae here?
I don't know. I haven't seen him.
Why have you been asking about him since yesterday?
- Jeong Tae. - Hi.
Why did you want to see me before work?
I talked to your father about us.
You did? What did he say?
He couldn't say anything. I felt terrible.
I wish I could've told him once I'd cleared my name.
Anyway, I feel bad for him...
and for you.
Don't say that.
I'm so happy right now. Don't apologize.
I'll talk to my dad again.
He'll approve us.
Okay.
You go ahead.
Okay. Bye.
Why did you come to work so late?
Why are you having me followed?
- What? - Call them off.
They can't beat me.
Don't you know that by now?
How dare he?
I'll dispatch you for real this time.
You'd better beware.
- Jeong Woo. - Hi.
Ok Boon, can I help you?
No. Don't come and help out here anymore.
I feel terrible and worried what your father will think.
You're teaching me how to cook.
Yes, Mom.
Tell her to keep coming so she can learn.
My dad knows all about me and Jeong Tae now.
- You told him? - Yes.
Jeong Tae said he met my dad today.
He did?
He must've been very shocked.
He's upset, isn't he?
No.
He was shocked, but he wasn't upset.
You don't need to worry.
- You asked to see me? - Yes.
When will construction resume?
The excavation's not complete yet. It'll get delayed a bit more.
Office of Cultural Properties won't let you resume?
No.
They want us to wait if possible, and I said I'd cooperate.
Did you?
So that's that.
The day your grandmother fainted in my office,
you asked Mr. Chae if I was at work.
Why is that?
Pardon?
Do you think I was with your grandmother that day?
No.
Mr. Chae said he saw you that day so I asked about it,
but you were at your campaign office.
- You can go. - Okay.
This is Hwang Chang Shik speaking.
There's a change in schedule?
Okay. Oh, wait, I'd like to ask something.
Did anyone call to ask...
if I was there at the office on the 13th?
Someone did?
He called a few times and checked I wasn't there?
Okay.
Did Jeong Hoon...
check I wasn't at the campaign office?
Is that why...
he asked Mr. Chae if I was at work?
Mr. Chae, can we talk?
Yes, sir.
Did you tell Mr. Hwang that...
I asked you when and where you saw him the day my grandmother died?
Pardon?
Yes. Mr. Hwang had told me to check with the Office of...
Cultural Properties to see how far the excavation had come,
so I went up to report to him and mentioned it then.
He told you to ask about the excavation?
Yes. So I told him that the excavation's almost over...
and that the government cleared certain areas for construction.
Did you?
Okay.
Come in.
I asked about the sale of the record company.
And?
Mr. Cha said he sold it for a profit.
But he didn't.
He sold it in a hurry...
and got 20 percent less than what he'd bought it for.
Okay.
- Kyung Ho. - Yes?
- I think Mr. Hwang knows. - About what?
He found out that I asked Mr. Chae about...
Mr. Hwang's whereabouts, on the day my grandmother fainted.
He had someone check up on the excavation behind my back.
That means he knows you're delaying construction for a reason.
Yes.
If he knows, you should be prepared.
Mr. Cha, I finished things up at Rainbow Records.
Well done.
Mr. Han from Daeguk Construction came over...
to ask about the sales.
Why'd he do that?
What?
Mi Jin, why are you here?
Sang Pil.
Is it true that Dad stole...
the bag of gold from Jeong Hoon's family?
What?
Where did you hear that?
Jo Dong Cheol told me everything so don't think of lying.
Tell me everything you know.
That idiot...
Is it true?
Yes.
Does Jeong Hoon...
know?
I think so.
How could this be?
You seem to know everything, so I'll tell you more.
There's something you should know.
Jeong Hoon's father defected to the north.
He's guilty by association.
He's what?
That's why the judicial institute didn't accept him.
He had no means of an income, so he hid that and married you.
He didn't marry you for love.
Your father recently found out Jeong Hoon's guilty by association.
That's why he wanted to send you two abroad.
But Jeong Hoon...
seems to be plotting something out of resentment for Mr. Hwang.
What are you talking about?
Why would he do that when Dad covered up his past for him?
The truth is, Jo Dong Cheol killed someone...
while out on a demolition job for us.
He framed...
your brother-in-law.
Uncle found out and covered it up.
It looks like...
your brother-in-law knows.
I think Jeong Hoon does too.
What do you mean?
I think that's why Jeong Hoon's blaming work...
to stay in Korea.
He has a grudge against your father and wants him to pay.
Why are you here when you must be busy?
Well...
I'm sorry I haven't visited often since Grandma died.
It still doesn't feel real.
I keep forgetting that she's not with us.
Mom, you need to be strong.
I know. Don't worry about me.
- Jeong Hoon, you're here. - Hi.
Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Tae and Choon Ja like each other.
They do?
Sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
Choon Ja said that you...
talked to her father today.
Yes, but I'm not sure if he'll accept me or not.
He couldn't right away. Give it some time.
Mom, I need to talk to Jeong Tae.
I heard Choon Ja looked after Soon Young...
and made diapers for Min Su.
It was because she liked you.
Let's talk about that later.
I'm being followed.
There are two and it's strange.
They don't seem to know each other.
I came to tell you about that.
One will be Jo Dong Cheol's lackey.
The other will be Professor Park's bodyguard.
- Professor Park? - Yes.
I told him all about us.
I even told him everything about Mr. Hwang.
He's worried about you and wanted to protect you.
That's why he bowed at me while following me.
You don't need to do that for me. I can protect myself.
Don't be so sure of yourself. If something were to happen...
I can't live with myself then.
- Do you get what I mean? - Yes.
One more thing.
Mr. Hwang checked with Mr. Chae.
He knows I asked about his schedule the day grandma fainted.
What? Then he might suspect you too.
You'll be in more danger than me.
That could be so.
Jeong Hoon. Shouldn't we attack first?
I can get the guys who attacked Professor Park.
That'll be our evidence.
We can get the party to cancel Mr. Hwang's candidacy.
Locate their hideout then.
- Don't attack on your own. - I won't.
Jeong Tae.
I knew for a long time that Choon Ja liked you.
I'm glad you met someone nice.
Her dad will accept you. Wait a bit longer.
I will.
- Welcome home. - Hi.
Where's Mi Jin?
In her room.
She came home with puffy eyes as if she'd been crying.
She hasn't come out of her room since, even to eat.
- She cried? - Yes.
She won't tell me what's wrong. What's going on?
Uncle, I have something to tell you.
What?
What do you mean?
How does she know about my past?
She went to Jo Dong Cheol.
Then she came to me.
Jo Dong Cheol, I should just...
What did you say? Did you deny it?
He'd told her everything, so it was too late to deny anything.
You should've still said it's not true.
Fortunately, she doesn't seem to know about Jeong Hoon's grandmother.
Uncle, there's another problem.
Jeong Hoon had Mr. Han...
find out how much I sold the record company for.
- What? He checked that too? - Yes.
He's looking for evidence that we bribed Congressman Oh.
He knows what the bribe was for.
It was to cover up his father's defection.
But you will pay the price.
If they can prove you bribed a congressman,
you might lose your place in the election.
Uncle.
Now that Mi Jin knows, there's no time to waste.
Decide what to do with Jeong Hoon.
How are things between you and Oh Se Ra?
Pardon? We're working on her first album.
You fool. End it with her.
You want Jeong Hoon gone, but you're coddling his sister?
Get out.
Okay.
Did you fight with Mi Jin?
What do you mean?
Why did she come home crying?
- Did you fight? - We didn't.
Did you ask her what's wrong?
She won't talk to me. See if you can.
Mi Jin.
Is something wrong?
Why is your mother so worried?
I'm going to bed.
Tell me what's going on.
I don't want to talk today.
Where are you going? You haven't had breakfast yet.
Leave it.
Come and sit down.
I made chilled cucumber soup.
If you're busy, down this. Okay?
I said I'm not interested.
Dad. Jeong Tae asked to see you yesterday.
What's wrong? Do you not like him?
Dad. The accident he was in last year.
It wasn't his fault.
The cabaret CEO hit the guy...
and framed Jeong Tae for it.
- Is that true? - Why would I make it up?
Can't you accept him?
I liked him first and followed him around.
You...
Of course, Jeong Tae liked me too.
But he evaded me because he was ashamed of his past.
That's why we couldn't tell you sooner.
He wanted to clear his name first,
then come to you and ask for your daughter.
My goodness.
Dad.
- Jeong Tae. - Yes?
What did Mr. Kim say yesterday?
He didn't say much.
Did you see him to ask for permission?
- Are you going to work? - Yes.
Well... Mr. Kim.
If you're not too busy, can we talk for a bit?
I'm sorry.
I have something at work to take care of.
Are you going to the restaurant already?
I'll come over later.
Are you going to get groceries? Take care. You too, Jeong Woo.
Thanks.
What's up with everyone?
Will anyone say something?
Mi Jin, what happened yesterday?
Why did you cry so much?
Why won't you eat? Honey.
Oh, gosh.
How strange.
Hey. Mi Jin.
- Uncle. - Sit down.
Uncle. It's time to make a call.
I know you're worried about Mi Jin but there's no time.
Why do you think Jeong Hoon's looking for evidence?
It's so he can attack you.
First, you need to corner him.
He can do more harm than Jeong Tae.
We can attack Jeong Tae at any time.
- I was thinking of a way. - What?
When we withdrew the money to give Congressman Oh,
I had it done in Jeong Hoon's name.
Great.
We can sue him for embezzlement.
That's not good enough.
Talk to Mr. Chae and write up a fake account book.
And open an account...
in Jeong Hoon's name that looks old.
Okay.
- Do it as soon as possible. - Okay.
It's me.
Hi, honey. Why did you call?
I have to go to the campaign office.
Send Mi Jin over in the evening.
Okay, I'll bring her over.
You don't need to come.
Just send Mi Jin. Bye.
You're here.
Sit down.
Mi Jin.
Do you...
have anything to say?
I know why you're upset.
You went to talk to Mr. Jo.
And talked to Sang Pil too.
You should've come straight to me.
Why stress yourself out?
Dad.
It's not true, is it?
It's not. Everything Mr. Jo said is a lie.
While people were fleeing the war and bombs were going off,
I found a bag in the road.
At the time, everyone was busy running for their lives.
We couldn't find its owner.
Why are people saying you stole it?
It's a misunderstanding. That's unfair.
I could tell it was an important bag,
so I tried to find the owner,
but it was impossible in that situation.
Dad.
Yes?
What made me angry is the fact that...
Jeong Hoon didn't marry me for love.
He married me because he was guilty by association.
I feel the same. How dare he?
He hid the fact that he didn't pass the bar exam...
and on top of that,
after all I did to cover up the fact that his family is guilty,
he betrayed me.
Now he's trying to get revenge.
It's unbelievable.
Revenge?
Jeong Hoon said he'd get revenge?
Mi Jin.
I wronged you in many ways.
I urged you to marry him.
It hurt me to see...
you suffer in so many ways that no woman deserves.
I wanted to let it go for your sake,
but I can't do that anymore.
I'll teach him a lesson.
How?
You're going to hurt Jeong Hoon?
It's for your sake.
He needs to learn so he'll straighten himself out.
Dad, do you have to do that?
I said it's for your sake.
I thought you should at least know.
Leave everything to me, and I'll take care of it.
Dad.
- Jeong Tae. - Hi.
Where are you going?
I was out on business and going back to office now.
- I see. - Is Mr. Jo up to anything?
I don't know. He's quiet for some reason.
Even though Hwang Chang Shik knows...
that Jeong Hoon found out about our grandmas' accident.
I know.
- Jeong Tae. - Don't look. I know.
Who are they? Is it Jo Dong Cheol?
One works for Jo Dong Cheol. Professor Park sent the other.
- Professor Park's protecting you? - Yes.
I'm going to lure and catch him.
Then I'll call Jeong Hoon.
Can you manage on your own?
Don't worry and tell Jeong Hoon.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
- See you. - Bye.
What do you want?
Hi.
- I met Jeong Tae on the way back. - Did you?
He'll go after Jo Dong Cheol's man that's following him.
- He'll call you later. - Okay.
I hope he doesn't get hurt.
What's going on?
Who is Oh Jeong Hoon?
That's me. Who are you?
I'm a prosecutor.
Someone reported you for...
embezzling funds and accounting fraud.
Come with us.
Pardon?
What?
Something's wrong here.
Take everything.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Come along.
(Through the Waves)
I didn't tell you to withdraw the money.
Director Oh gave the order.
Cancel Se Ra's album.
Are you going to frame my brother?
Your crimes will come to light too.
Look, Hwang Chang Shik.
Did you never feel guilty at all?
He didn't give you any gold.
Are you going to desert Jeong Hoon like this?
It's a long story. Everyone should know now.
There's a way to get you out.
So hang in there.
