(Episode 15)
Do you really have a way around this?
I have to find a way to prove that the painting is a fake.
That's how I can get those handcuffs off of my dad's wrists.
Shouldn't you just raise a question about Jubo Group's security?
I looked a bit into this,
and there seemed to be a problem in selecting the security agency.
You need to find the answer on the scene.
Go find the culprit's hair on the floor or something.
No.
Look at how the knife only had my dad's fingerprints.
It's way past the time for us to look for someone's hair.
(Antiques)
- Why won't you tell me? - Just go.
- Just leave, will you? - Can you just tell me that?
- Will you leave? - Please tell me.
- Get out. Get out of here. - Can you just tell me that?
- Get out. - Why not?
(Antiques)
I told you to go. What are you doing here?
Only if you tell me why everyone jumps when I mention the portrait.
Then I'll go.
Hey, miss. Even if that portrait was forged,
no one can come out and say that it's fake.
That's the custom of this industry.
What do you mean?
Can you explain it in terms that I can understand?
The moment we say that the painting is a fake,
the appraiser and everyone that is involved will get in trouble.
Who would come forward so boldly?
If Jubo Group said it's real, then it makes it real.
How can you win against that huge company?
You should give up.
Wait.
Let me ask you a question.
By any chance,
if the real painting was somewhere else...
I mean, not that I know where the real painting is,
but if the real painting comes out,
then what will happen to me?
What?
I mean... It's nothing.
Work hard.
If the ripped painting is the real one,
people will think that I'm insane.
Ji Na.
I'm sorry. I should have come by earlier.
I couldn't come immediately.
Did you meet your mom?
Does she know that you're back?
- Yes. - Okay, then.
Are you doing all right?
I'm okay.
Anyway, what brings you here?
I'm a decent woman. I couldn't just let this slide.
I came because I wanted to help you out.
Do you remember what the thief looked like?
I want to look into this myself.
I'm not sure. He had a mask, a hat,
and even gloves on.
I couldn't get a good look at him.
Think about it again. Was there anything unique about him?
Any scars or accessories?
- He was wearing a bracelet. - A gold bracelet?
Yes, a gold bracelet.
It looked like it was well over 40g.
But that's no use at this point.
No one will hear me out.
Who knows?
You might find the answer in the most unexpected place.
If Vice President Seo's secretary is the culprit,
then what's the reason?
What was he going to do with the stolen painting?
I think we should make the exhibition...
go viral between the younger generation.
Since when did we let a mere intern...
come to a meeting like this?
Does that mean he didn't want the exhibition to be known?
After all, it was called off.
Vice President, this is Secretary Moon.
What are you doing here?
Aren't you going home?
The couple who work at this place...
went off work early because Ms. Sim called them,
so I'm showing my support for the owner.
She's an expert who makes such precious dish.
I need to protect her.
She called them? Why?
People say one's name define who they are,
and she really is like Sim Chung the good daughter.
Look at how she's trying so hard to save her stepdad.
Someone else I know pretty much cut his family off.
What do you mean, her stepdad? What are you talking about?
You've been stalking her for long, but you didn't even know that?
She floated down the sea, so he picked her up and adopted her.
So that was true.
Her family is under a lot of debt,
so she lived diligently without going to college.
But now her dad is in that mess too.
It looks like you had no idea.
You need to start giving more attention to your neighbors.
Quiet.
So where are they now? What is this about?
Well, you can step in yourself. Jubo Group is involved.
Do you feel bad for ignoring their situation...
but feel like your pride is damaged to step in?
Life is all about your choices.
You should think about it.
My father, who was not even a professional security guard,
went out on his part-time job for one night,
then was blamed as the thief of a painting from the Goryeo era...
which costs billions of dollars.
But this is far from the truth!
What is she up to?
That painting is a fake!
- Come down. - What's wrong with you?
- Why are you doing this? - Stop it.
We want to speak up because we're falsely blamed.
Why are you stopping us?
This is a public street.
Did you rent out this street too?
Please share a word. You're on live on the internet.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
Please come inside.
- Take a seat. - It's all right.
Did you want to see me...
to resolve my dad's case?
You must be deeply concerned about what happened to him.
It must not be easy to accept that your father was involved...
in such a crime as his child.
A crime?
My dad is innocent.
That is my argument.
We do not want to hold a powerless individual...
with a huge responsibility.
He will be punished properly.
No, if he didn't do anything, why should he be punished?
The painting for the exhibition was already a fake.
Someone used my dad...
to take the blame to hide that fact.
Can you prove that?
I'm sure you know you should be responsible for what you say.
Ms. Sim, you just provoked us in a very serious way,
something that can shake our very foundation.
Yes, I can take the responsibility.
I feel confident.
In that case, I want you to show what you have instead of talking.
I will wait for you.
I can't believe how nasty he is.
Why does he keep smiling?
Right, I had to ask him to show me the painting.
Ji Na.
(Jubo Group)
What are you doing right now?
Things are complicated enough with Dad getting involved with my work,
why are you adding to this?
Is that all you can say?
You met Dad at the exhibition on that day.
Did you see anyone suspicious?
If I did, I would have said so.
I've only been thinking because I couldn't find an answer.
What did you and Vice President Seo talk about?
What did he say?
He said he'll show mercy to Dad, so I should keep quiet.
Mercy, my foot. He didn't do anything to begin with.
How dare he try to blame Dad?
They might be right.
Ji Na, do you think he really did that?
If he could be that brazen,
we wouldn't have been that poor.
What I mean is this.
It may be the best to resolve this without provoking them.
They have the evidence too. How can he be vindicated?
No, I will clear him of his false charges.
(An innocent citizen was...)
Let's say the painting is fake like you said.
But what does that have to do with him?
It doesn't matter if it was fake or real. Stealing is a crime.
No, the thief was definitely someone else.
They tried to steal the painting before the exhibition began,
before people found out that the painting is a fake.
Why does she keep saying that the painting is fake?
What's her ground?
Yeo Ji Na and Sim Chung Yi are sisters?
How interesting.
What? Baek Si Joon?
Ji Na!
Hey, why are you here?
No, why would I tell him anything about you?
Make sure you be careful.
You never know what he will do.
Chung Yi came to my office and made a scene.
What's with everyone?
What? Chung Yi went there?
I'm so nervous that they will be suspicious of me because of Dad.
She's going to make things worse.
You need to keep her under control!
Sim Chung Yi.
Didn't I tell you to not go over to your sister's work?
Why did you make a scene there?
Who said that? Did Ji Na call you?
If you're stupid and incompetent, just stay quiet.
If he gets punished twice as much...
for provoking them, will you be responsible?
Dad isn't a thief.
What's with you too, Mom?
Why do you care what they say if he is innocent?
How do you know that?
You aren't the shaman. I am.
Why are you packing up?
Wait.
Are you going to run away?
I see. You want to survive this on your own.
Goodness.
We took you in when you were orphaned and brought you up,
but there was no use in that. It was all in vain.
Do you have to talk to me like that?
Do you know how I feel because of Dad?
Stop talking back to me.
I don't care if you move out or not.
But if you mess with your sister, I will get you too.
This is why I can never like you.
Goodness, my awful life.
Chung Yi.
Hey, Chung Yi...
Ms. Bang is so terrible.
Why is she always so harsh on Chung Yi?
She is the epitome of favoritism and discrimination.
I take back what I said about how she's a traitor.
- Ms. Bang. What's with you? - My gosh!
What's with you, Ms. Bang?
- Goodness. - This is salty.
Tae Yang, are you all right? Did it get in your eyes?
Ms. Bang!
You two are the root of evil.
You two are the ones who brought Baek Si Joon...
into my house yesterday, aren't you?
To be exact, it was Mr. Ma who brought him here.
Ever since Baek Si Joon came to our house,
this house was cursed with bad luck. It's cursed!
Even so, how can you sprinkle salt all over us?
You're overusing your power!
Overusing or confusing, I don't care.
If you ever bring Baek Si Joon to my house again,
it won't end with some salt, do you understand?
I'm so sick of her shamanism.
I told you that we should go to a church.
What's with her?
She should go over to Jubo Group and sprinkle salt there.
Why is she always after us?
My gosh, Woo Yang.
- Should we move? - What?
She always pretended like she's the strongest woman,
but she will never stop crying, can she?
What are you doing right now?
If you cry, Santa Claus won't give you a present.
If you always cry like that, you'll never get any presents.
Christmas passed ages ago.
There is always the next one.
You should stop crying to start preparing for that.
If you're trying to comfort me, forget it.
Mom didn't say that out of spite.
Then why did you cry?
Because it was cold. That's why.
These are fine. Yes.
What's all that?
That's not even some gold. Why did you bury them here?
You probably crave a lot of new food if you're that curious.
You should start practicing piano, though.
I can probably play much better than you can.
What?
There is no use in comforting her.
(Jubo Raw Material Development Institute)
Si Joon.
What are you doing here?
Does Ji Na work for Jubo Group?
- What? - I know everything.
Tell me.
She recently started there as an intern.
She said she'll call you and come back home...
once she gets settled.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier.
You must've been worried that I might harm her.
- Don't be sorry. - It's not like that.
So when is she going to be settled?
When can I meet her?
Si Joon. Please wait a little.
Did you hear about my dad?
She worked hard to get her job,
so I'm sure she is troubled too.
I waited for eight years.
- How long must I wait? - What's with you?
You may have felt betrayed because she suddenly disappeared.
But couples do break up.
Why are you so obsessed over her?
Obsessed?
What do you know?
Have you always been such a small man?
Are you really the same Si Joon that I knew?
Why do you blame her for everything?
I think I can understand...
why she ran away from you.
What?
Please don't be like this.
You should present yourself as a decent man in front of her.
If you despise her,
then that's the way to get your revenge.
(Jubo Raw Material Development Institute)
I've never received a present that took so much effort to make.
I'm so touched that I'm about to cry thinking that you made...
each of these yourself.
What? A watch?
I bought you one on your birthday.
Okay, I'll get you one.
I'll get you one, so don't be angry.
Mom.
Are you a gold digger?
She may seem like an easy vending machine for money,
but have some conscience.
Mom!
Mom, what's with you?
Goodness, don't you have any pride?
A watch?
You're going to buy him a watch in return for these paper cranes?
What's so bad about that?
I can do that much for someone that I like.
I can already tell that one day,
you will hand over the house deed to a guy too.
Give me your credit card.
No.
I'm already frustrated enough to take care of a patient.
Don't make me angry.
Mom, at least give me my wallet!
What are you doing here?
Quiet, please.
They patrol around at this hour.
Why did you leave all the lights on?
Are you practically telling them to take you away?
Why are you still here?
You heard me play. I need to hear your thoughts.
You have no manners as the audience.
That was a great performance.
Anyway, are you allowed to be in here?
Ms. Ko decided to help me out.
She didn't give me all of her consent, but about half.
This is a pretty good attorney. Give them a call.
Thank you for doing this.
But I am going to take this my way.
Even if we hire a competent attorney...
and prepare for the trial,
my dad will have to stay in prison until that time.
Above all, I cannot stand to see my innocent dad...
getting treated like a criminal.
Do you know...
that the painting was once stolen before?
Yes, I do.
I'm sure there are...
people who looked for that painting at the cost of their lives.
When it was returned,
I am sure it was appraised.
What if the appraisal wasn't done fairly?
What if everyone stayed silent for the sake of their benefit?
Fine.
Let's say you can copy the painting exactly the same.
Do you think you can get that appraised fairly?
How?
You're right about that.
That won't be easy.
You finally got a grasp of the reality.
But...
I'll think about that after I'm done with the painting.
What?
I mean, it might turn out awful after I paint it.
Then I will make good use of this name card.
I came...
to ask you something.
Is that painting...
really a fake one?
Then why did you risk your life to...
(The late Ma Sung Jae)
What does that painting mean, anyway?
You should have just run away at that time.
I am getting a headache...
because I am involved in something similar...
to what happened to you.
(The late Ma Sung Jae)
(Jubo Group)
- She's that girl. - The intern?
There she is.
(Jubo Group Personnel Announcement)
(Yeo Ji Na, contract termination for violating company regulations)
Why are you doing this?
You can't do this.
Where is Vice President Seo?
Where is he right now?
What is it?
I'm sorry, Vice President.
You may leave.
I thought you said...
the company will make a decision on me.
Why do you care about the contract...
of a mere intern as the vice president?
Yesterday it was your sister,
and today, it's your turn, Ms. Yeo.
I believe the security guard...
who damaged the portrait is your father, is that right?
I think that is enough explanation for you.
That night, I saw Secretary Moon on the scene.
I have a video of him too.
That night, Sim Hak Gyu and Yeo Ji Na...
plotted together to steal "Portrait of a Beauty".
To steal the portrait,
the daughter got into the scene first.
The daughter was very meticulous,
and lied about her family relations when she got her job as an intern.
What do you think?
I think my story seems much more interesting.
Vice President Seo, I am not going down like this.
I will do anything. Please give me another chance.
No matter what you do, I want you to show me what you can do...
instead of just talking.
Try to shut your sister's mouth.
You can prove your desperation by doing so.
Was your weakness the fake "Portrait of a Beauty"?
That means Chung Yi was right.
If the real painting comes out,
then what will happen to me?
(Dragon King Shaman)
(Room for rent)
What is this? Are they looking for new tenants...
without even telling me...
just because I threw some salt on them?
Those jerks.
Okay. I don't care if this is real or fake.
I will bet on this painting.
Goodness.
Ji Na, it's you.
I heard that you came back.
Can we talk for a moment if you have some time?
I really wanted to meet you.
I'm sorry. Next time.
Where did she go without telling me?
Does she really have dementia?
No one saw her.
Maybe she's at the office.
She's a workaholic.
I thought she wasn't in the office.
Is Yo Jeong in here?
Ms. Ko is out working.
May I ask who you are?
I'm her aunt.
I see.
I knew you seemed very much like her.
I think she has your eyes.
Is that so?
Anyway, this looks like "Portrait of a Beauty".
Do you know about that painting?
I heard this is causing a lot of trouble.
I've heard a thing or two.
Anyway, why are you copying this painting?
Are you an artist?
No.
I have to copy this exactly as it is to make my case.
"See? I can make numerous copies..."
"of this painting, so this can't be from the Goryeo era."
"This painting is a fake."
A fake? What kind of nonsense is this?
No, it definitely looks fake to my eyes.
What about your eyes?
How can you tell just by looking at it?
You can't tell anything with this picture.
You're right.
It's disappointing how I couldn't see the real one.
But I do know there is no soul in that painting.
A true masterpiece...
carries the same emotion even when the piece is...
seen through a photo or when it is printed.
And that is why people call that a masterpiece.
But this version of "Portrait of a Beauty" isn't that.
I can only feel that it wants to be made to look like the original.
Do you want to make a bet that this painting is a fake?
What do you think?
This is...
the real "Portrait of a Beauty"?
This painting is a fake.
(Blessing of the Sea)
Please appraise the painting...
that Ms. Sim painted.
If I agree to take such a big risk,
what will you do for me?
Poong Do? Find out what's going on and report back.
Maybe the chairwoman got suspicious...
about the authenticity of "Portrait of a Beauty".
I just saw the original "Portrait of a Beauty".
I was right. That was definitely a copy.
An appraisal committee of "Portrait of a Beauty" is tomorrow.
What do you think will happen if you sister shows up?
What do you mean, Ms. Sim is gone?
I can't reach her, and she's completely gone.
She's gone with the painting.
