Deputy Kang acted like he didn't know her when he did,
and I'm sure that's because he wanted to protect her.
The reason the Black Rose was able to stay alive all these years...
was because Deputy Kang has been secretly protecting her all along.
I can't believe he did this to me.
I know people say it's hard to trust anyone.
But this is unbelievable.
I really can't believe this.
Shouldn't we teach these two a lesson?
Please give us a bit more time.
I'm no longer scared of anything.
I'm going to risk everything I have to solve this case.
I also want the two of you to do your best to investigate.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Did you hear that Jenny's mother is the Black Rose?
Yes, you must've been really startled.
That's nothing.
Imagine how startled Jenny must've been.
You're right.
Anyway, I met Jenny's mother yesterday.
What did she say?
She kept telling me that she isn't the Black Rose.
So I couldn't even ask her anything in detail about Kyung Ah.
She won't easily admit to it.
Yes, I know. I know that.
But the more I think about it...
When I asked her about Kyung Ah, her face somehow seemed...
as if she actually knew something.
But she totally denied it.
I can't seem to calm down ever since then.
I feel so anxious.
It's as if I lost Kyung Ah right in front of my eyes.
I feel so upset and empty.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I felt like Jenny's mother...
I mean, the Black Rose...
I felt like she'd really know something.
Man Su, do you think I was being delusional?
- Ms. Ji. - Yes?
I don't think...
you should ask her anything again.
Yes, I know. It'll be completely useless.
But please don't tell me to give up on Kyung Ah.
I can never do that.
You promised that you'll find her for me.
Yes, I promise I'll do that.
I trust that you'll keep your word.
But how long do I need to wait?
Do you really think...
I'll be able to meet Kyung Ah again?
You'll get to meet her soon?
Are you serious? Do you really mean that?
Yes, of course.
I'll find her for you, so give me a bit more time.
I promise...
that you'll get to see her soon.
Can I really trust you?
Yes.
Okay, I'll trust you.
Have a seat.
The chairman's willing to give you as much alimony as you want.
That's not necessary.
I just want to put his mind at ease...
and get this over with.
Okay, please have a read.
Then you can sign right here.
(Divorce Settlement Agreement)
(Han Jenny)
Okay, you're all done.
Thank you for your cooperation. You may go now.
Does that mean...
you know who Kyung Ah is...
and where she is right now?
Whatever the case, I promise I'll let you know...
where she is and who she is within a month.
A month?
Okay.
I've been waiting for 25 years, so a month is nothing.
My goodness, Man Su.
I always knew you were really competent.
I knew I'd be able to find her with your help.
Not only are you young and competent,
but you also travel all over the world.
So I knew you'd be able to find her.
Okay, then. I trust that you'll find her...
within a month.
Okay, I give you my word.
If you let me meet Kyung Ah...
and tell me where she is,
I will be indebted to you for the rest of my life.
I will carry you on my back if that's what you want.
And if you ask me for free food,
I'll feed you free food until the day I die.
That's not necessary.
I've always wanted to find her for you.
That's why I'm still here by your side.
My goodness, how kind of you.
Thank you. I can't believe this.
Sir, I have something to say about Ahn Man Su.
Ahn Man Su?
He was the one who knew that Ms. Wang...
is the Black Rose.
Are you serious?
We found out that he wasn't born in France.
He was adopted by a family in France when he was 10.
And his father passed away before that.
What's weird is that he's been...
investigating the Black Rose for the past 10 years.
Does that mean he already knew that Ms. Wang...
is the Black Rose?
He's the one who told us about her identity.
What?
By the way,
did you also meet Jenny yesterday?
Yes, I did.
I think someone hit her because her lips were bleeding.
And she must've cried seeing that her eyes were swollen.
You have no idea how much it breaks my heart to see her like that.
I wonder if she ate.
Should I call and ask her to have lunch together?
That's a good idea.
We're expecting a lot of customers for lunch.
So let's go somewhere more private. I'll buy.
I'll tell her that we'll go to where she is right now.
How old is Ahn Man Su?
He's 34.
He's 34?
Yes, didn't you know?
No, I didn't.
Do you remember a woman named Wang Soo Jin...
who used to live as a tenant in the basement 34 years ago?
Yes, it's her.
I can't believe I'm looking at her.
Then did that woman give birth to a daughter?
What are you talking about? It was a son.
He seemed very interested in the Black Rose...
judging by all the materials he had collected on his blog.
And he did that for 10 years.
That means he spent a third of his life...
being interested in the Black Rose.
Yes, you're right.
Why do you think he was so interested in the Black Rose?
That's not all.
He even stayed by her side for 10 years.
I see it as an obsession.
Here's the order.
First, Man Su investigated the Black Rose.
Then he met Ms. Wang and Jenny.
Are you saying he approached them on purpose?
Yes, Jenny once told me...
that they first met when Man Su came to her design exhibition.
If we manage to figure out what Man Su's story is,
we'll be able to find out a bit more about the Black Rose.
I can't believe she can get away with the terrible stuff she did...
just by denying the accusations. What a lousy legal system.
I feel so angry and resentful.
Yes, you're right. We need to find enough evidence...
so she won't be able to deny it and reveal her identity to everyone.
Yes, that's right.
If she sacrificed others just to protect her secret,
she should get punished for that.
Yes, you're right. And we should also punish...
everyone who helped the Black Rose.
We're almost there. You all did a great job.
Now, let's put an end to this.
We might be able to receive more help from Ahn Man Su.
Try to make him side with us.
Hello?
Yes, that's me. I'm Choi Song Ah.
I'm Detective Kim from the Western Police Station.
I once called to inform you...
of having found the corpse of Choi Kyung Ah.
Yes, what's up?
Well, the DNA of that corpse matched with another victim.
So it turned out to be not Choi Kyung Ah.
What?
I'm sorry for confusing you.
No, it's okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
You would've been a lot less lonely if Kyung Ah was around.
You need to stop talking about her now that she's gone.
What are you talking about? She's not gone.
Make sure you don't call her Jenny.
And don't tell her that she looks like Kyung Ah...
or that she's of the same age.
Don't talk to her about someone who's dead.
She's not dead.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Kyung Ah.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Kyung Ah.
- Hey, Ms. Ji. - Where are you?
- I'm outside right now. - Let's eat lunch together.
Should we do that?
Okay, I'll be right there.
What brings you here?
I went to the attorney's office to sign the divorce papers.
Go ahead and leave if you're done.
Okay, I'll go.
If I ever see you near this place again,
I won't stand still. You'd better keep that in mind.
Okay, Ms. Oh. I'll be off now.
Get going already.
Okay.
Eun Seok, you'd better do a good job of catching the Black Rose.
You can't just let her get away with what she did.
You need to get her locked up in jail.
Mr. Lee, you should also do better.
Okay, ma'am.
Let's go, sir.
Okay.
Did she really agree to come?
Yes, I didn't tell her that you're here as well.
- I just said I'll buy her lunch. - I see.
She told me that she'll come, but she sounded so weak.
I guess she didn't even eat breakfast.
Ms. Ji.
Jenny, I came with her.
I see.
I asked him to join us. I'll buy you guys lunch today.
Did something good happen today?
Sit down.
Jenny came earlier and signed the papers.
Did she say anything else?
No, she told me that she doesn't need the alimony...
and that she wants this to get taken care of as fast as possible.
The chairman also wants me to rush this.
So I'm going to file the papers today.
Mr. Oh, you can sign right here.
(Divorce Settlement Agreement)
It's right here, sir.
(Oh Eun Seok, Han Jenny)
Okay, you're all done.
Is this...
all that we need to do?
Yes, we'll just have to go through the legal proceedings.
Getting a divorce...
is so easy.
A month?
Man Su, are you really that confident?
Yes.
You can't get her hopes up and disappoint her again.
You can't take this lightly.
Yes, I know. I won't disappoint her.
He gave me his word. He really meant it.
Thanks to Man Su,
I guess I'll finally get to find my daughter.
I hope you really get to find her.
This is the best news I've heard in a while.
But did something happen again?
You don't look so well, and you sound so weak.
I'm getting a divorce.
What?
I can't continue to stay married as Eun Seok's wife.
My goodness.
I'm so sorry about that, Jenny.
I'm okay.
I should start looking for a way to settle this...
although my mom keeps denying it.
Jenny.
(Certified Copy of Register)
(Chairman, Oh Da Jin)
He was the person in charge...
of the Black Rose case 20 years ago.
Hello, Prosecutor Park. It's me, Oh Da Jin.
I'd like to meet with you.
Mom, you come here often.
I feel so frustrated to stay in the office.
You really should calm down now.
I mean, come on. I don't get why people created...
the statute of limitations. Who is that law for?
I know, right?
The criminal's right in front of us, but we can't even do anything.
When a person is in debt for about 15 to 20 years,
the interest snowballs like crazy,
and it eventually becomes bigger than the principal.
10,000 dollars can suddenly become hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That's not all.
If you fail to pay back your debt, you have to give up your organs...
and get chased by loan sharks for the rest of your life.
That's how bad things become when you fail to pay back your debt.
But on the other hand, we can't even punish that brutal criminal...
just because too much time has passed.
What kind of idiot came up with that darn law?
I totally agree with you.
I personally think they should get rid of that law.
I can't believe I used to be so nice to her...
and spent time eating and drinking tea with her.
Just the thought of it makes me angry.
I even wake up in the middle of my sleep.
That's not all. Think about Jenny.
She even attended Uncle Myung Su's memorial service.
She cooked the food and helped us set the table.
She gives me the creeps.
I almost forgot.
No wonder she cried so much during the memorial service.
Now, I finally get why.
It's all because she had a conscience.
My goodness.
That means she knew everything.
- She already knew it all. - Exactly.
My goodness.
People really scare me the most.
She totally fooled all of us with that innocent-looking face.
Tell me about it.
(Family Relation Certificate)
(Certificate of Stock)
Is this all true?
Yes, among everything that they've investigated,
I only brought the ones that have been confirmed as true.
- I see. - Can you carry out...
an internal investigation?
If this is all true, it's a very serious issue.
We can't just let it slide.
We're trying to find more concrete evidence.
So please do me a favor...
and help me out with this case.
I'll look into it.
Thank you.
I heard the Black Rose came back to life.
Did you hear that rumor?
It's complete nonsense. That can never happen.
Yes, of course.
I also think it's nonsense.
What's this?
(Certified Copy of Register)
(Owner: Kim Min Gyeong)
I heard the actual owner is you. Is that correct?
No, sir. It's a misunderstanding.
I heard you might get investigated by the prosecution.
I don't know who reported you, but they seem to have a lot on you.
If, by any chance,
you feel guilty about anything, I want you to resign here and now.
I feel so wrongly accused.
If the Black Rose is actually still alive,
that alone is enough to get you dismissed.
That will never happen.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I'm willing to risk everything I have.
(Deputy, Kang Chi Su)
What do you think you're doing?
What is this nonsense?
Brother, what's the matter?
I want you to make sure Ahn Man Su stays quiet.
Then find all the evidence and get rid of them.
If you don't, we'll both be doomed.
Jenny, you should eat a lot even if you don't have an appetite.
Okay.
Try some of this.
(Ms. Wang)
It's Ms. Wang.
You should answer it.
- Hello? - Where are you?
I'm eating lunch with Jenny.
What?
Ms. Ji's here as well.
Why would you take the two of them to lunch?
Please keep it short. We're eating right now.
We need to meet.
I'll be in my office in about an hour.
I'll see you there.
Did my mom ask to meet?
Yes, it's probably nothing. Don't worry.
Yes, let's eat.
What brings you here?
Did you report Deputy Kang to the prosecution?
It wasn't me.
- Are you sure about that? - Yes.
- It wasn't me this time around. - What?
Does that mean you're planning to report him in the future?
Yes, he should pay for what he did.
The same goes for you.
You should hide if you're scared.
Why would I hide?
Then are you saying you're going to fight?
I already died 25 years ago.
I might not have lived this much, so nothing scares me.
I'm sure there's at least one thing that scares you.
Yes, there's one thing that scares me, and that's Jenny.
I told you over and over again...
that I'll tell her everything once I'm ready.
I can't let Jenny go back to her family in this chaos.
That's more of a reason why you should send her back.
No, just give me some more time.
I promise I'll send her back.
I even got on my knees and begged you to do me a favor.
If I continue to trust you,
you'll just keep asking me for more time.
As I saw Ms. Ji and Jenny together today,
I finally made up my mind.
To do what?
To stop postponing it.
What?
I already gave you a lot of opportunities,
and I've been very considerate.
But that's going to end now.
Do you think you're the one who has the upper hand?
I've been through so many ups and downs.
You shouldn't look down on me like that.
What's your point?
I would've parted with Jenny a long time ago...
if I was going to let her go so easily.
But I will never let her go.
Jenny's mine.
If you're going to be stubborn and use her to threaten me,
that leaves me with no choice.
This might be my last warning.
Go ahead and do what you want.
I'll reveal the truth about your relationship soon.
Do you mean that?
- Yes. - Fine.
You'll have to pay for looking down on me...
and not listening to me.
Go ahead and do what you want.
I'll reveal the truth about your relationship soon.
Everything will go down the drain at this rate.
I might lose Jenny to a woman who's done nothing for her.
I need to come up with a plan.
Let's get rid of Man Su and leave with Jenny.
I want you to find me a professional assassin.
Yes, this is Wang Soo Jin.
Sir, I'm thinking about resigning from my position as the president.
Yes, I'd like Jenny to take over.
Please gather the board members and take care of it for me.
Jenny might call you, so please explain to her.
I'll see you in LA.
(Strategy Team Manager, Lee Dong Joo)
Here's the order.
First, Man Su investigated the Black Rose.
Then he met Ms. Wang and Jenny.
He even played the piano and sang for Ms. Wang.
They seem like...
they hate each other but also seem very close at the same time.
It's really weird.
It's so peculiar the more I think about it.
How old is Ahn Man Su?
He's 34.
Mr. Lee, the fact that Man Su's 34 keeps bothering me.
Do you think he could be the Black Rose's son?
Yes, if her son is still alive,
he'd be exactly the same age.
That also crossed my mind.
My sister told me something while she was working with him.
And I noticed something weird about how Ahn Man Su treated Ms. Wang.
How so?
It was Man Su's birthday that day,
and he apparently played the piano and sang a song for Ms. Wang.
What?
They always fight with each other,
but he was worried about Ms. Wang when she wasn't around.
I'm sure there's something special between the two of them.
How about we carry out a DNA test?
Should we check?
Yes, let's check right away instead of being just suspicious.
I'll get something from Ms. Wang myself.
I'll ask Kyung In to bring something that belongs to Man Su.
- Let's hurry. - Okay.
What brings you here?
I left something behind.
What did you leave behind? We already sent all your belongings.
I left something in Jenny's drawer.
Take it and leave.
Are you leaving now?
I thought you left something behind. Did you find it already?
Are you going somewhere?
What are you talking about? I'm just reorganizing my stuff.
You kept denying the accusations and didn't even apologize.
Don't tell me you're even planning to run away.
Why would I run away?
Your family came up with a plan to get rid of Jenny, didn't they?
That's why you falsely accused me of being the Black Rose.
I can see right through you.
You really shouldn't cross the line.
How brazen of you.
You framed me as the Black Rose...
and used that as an excuse to get a divorce.
If you hurt someone, you'll end up getting hurt a lot more.
Isn't that what I should be saying?
No, I don't know about anything else,
but I won't forgive you for hurting Jenny.
You're the one who hurt Jenny!
What did you just say?
You have no respect for me now that you're getting a divorce.
Why don't you just go ahead and treat me like a friend?
You once gave birth to a son, didn't you?
What?
I'll find him for you soon.
(Shady Mom-in-law)
Why do you think he tried to marry Jenny?
There's one possible scenario.
And that's based on the assumption that she isn't Ms. Wang's daughter.
I'll leave after I take care of Man Su.
If you fail like last time, we'll all be doomed.
I need to go to our head office in LA.
You should step up and confess that you're the Black Rose.
This is all so I can do that. I'll turn myself in.
