Once Oh Tae Seok's eliminated,
I'll be next.
But that's not the battlefield.
Oh Tae Seok.
He's actually just an outer wall.
The real battlefield is deep inside.
(No phones allowed)
Ms. Lee.
You must choose wisely.
Even if I topple the wall,
you will get the money to build it back up.
If the core, the axis inside doesn't fall,
this fight is never over.
One moment of bravado can ruin the rest of your life.
Make the right choice.
Your offer isn't profitable.
I refuse.
What shall I do?
I have the officer who's looking for the girl.
If you let her go,
she'll do anything to find the dead girl.
That will lead to Mayor Do and me.
Kill her.
Get rid of her, Tae Seok. Only then can I survive.
Lee Hyun Ji refused the offer.
If there's another opportunity,
I won't return then.
Get rid of her, Tae Seok. Only then can I survive.
(Park Ju Hyeon)
What happened?
What do you mean, Lee Hyun Ji refused?
She won't be persuaded easily.
I don't know what Jenny Jang has done,
but no matter how much we try to coax her with Oh Tae Seok,
if Lee Hyun Ji doesn't cooperate,
both of them will claim innocence and we'll gain nothing.
People are already saying Deo is caught in a family dispute.
I'm even embarrassed to go work these days.
Let's ask Chairwoman Kim for help.
No.
We must not tell Mom.
If we do that, the problem may be solved,
but we won't be able to return from the US.
We'll be banned from the Deo family for good.
Now is not the situation to choose.
Jenny Jang has been chosen as a witness for the trial.
She'll reveal everything in court.
The girl who died from drugs and Lee Hyun Ji's mom...
will be brought to the surface.
We can use our connections and stop her.
Ye Nam, don't you understand?
This will eventually be dragged to the end...
if you or Jenny Jang don't give up.
There's no way Do Young will let Mayor Do go down.
Then she'll just be dragged down with him.
She's just threatening me right now for fun.
Ye Nam, you're the one who started it first.
Jenny Jang will never stop.
Then what do you want me to do?
Are you telling me to give in to Jenny Jang?
Once the trial begins, Jenny Jang will testify.
It'll be too late then.
I told you to listen to me and go to the US.
How can you stop someone who is as desperate as her?
It's like you've put your wrist inside the handcuffs...
that have been put on Jenny Jang's wrist.
If you try to take down Jenny Jang, you'll go down too,
and if you try to live,
she will live as well.
Do you want me to give in to Do Young as well?
She's messing with Mayor Do.
The one gambling with the international city project...
is not me, but Jenny Jang.
She's using the Deo family's future to make fools out of us.
Will you just sit back and watch?
That golden egg you wished for so much...
is about to be taken from us!
Inviting a ticking bomb inside our home...
and expecting it to be peaceful does not make sense.
She came from cleaning a bathhouse...
all the way up to this position.
All I did was...
take her in and step all over her.
When stepped on,
most people fall down and just disappear.
But Jenny Jang became tougher...
and survived more powerfully.
How on earth can you handle someone like that?
Mom.
Still, you should've been on my side.
The international city project is not the problem.
Your daughter is about to go to prison.
The only thing that can save you...
is the person wearing those handcuffs with you.
Does it hurt your pride that much...
to ask Jenny Jang for help?
If you can't give in,
you will never beat her from now on.
Director Wi,
you must give in for now...
to think about what you can do after.
Chairwoman Kim.
I know how influential Ms. Jang is,
but Ye Nam is still your daughter.
She's a girl who acts on confidence and certainty.
I'd have to make several calls to stop Jenny Jang.
Why go through all that trouble?
Ye Nam giving in...
is the simple solution.
Both of them are running...
towards the end of a cliff right now.
One of them has to fall down in order for this to stop.
It's a fight of guts.
The one who gets afraid will lose.
But when it comes to guts,
she won't be able to win Jenny Jang.
(Wi Ye Nam)
- The receiver cannot be reached. - Darn it.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail...
Did you say she didn't come home last night?
Yes.
(Do Jun Sub)
Yes. Hello, Ju Ho.
It's the first time you've called for me.
How did the meeting go?
Today was the seventh meeting of the Urban Planning Committee.
If you want to know about the international city project,
I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you much.
I know.
That you're leading the members who are opposed to the project.
You can keep opposing.
Since this isn't just about Yungcheon,
but the foundation of this country,
you should be cautious.
Mayor Do?
Ju Ho.
Out of all the congressmen working for Yungcheon,
you know that you and I are the original members, right?
I won't let go of this hand until my career in politics end...
No, until my life ends.
So...
you and I should go together.
Mayor Do, is something wrong?
My pride isn't important now, so I'll tell you everything.
Two women from the Deo family are toying with my life.
How could I just stay still?
I should at least show them I'm not their puppet.
What is this about?
Ju Ho.
You should stick to your beliefs.
I'll back you up and become a reliable partner.
Let's make this a win-win situation.
I have to visit the welfare center in Eunju-dong at 3pm, right?
Okay.
Ju Ho.
Let's go out together.
Okay?
What is it?
It's nothing.
He seemed familiar.
He's the intelligence bureau chief from the National Police Agency.
Ju Ho.
Let's make time soon and have a drink.
What are you doing?
How dare you block me? Move!
I'm sorry, Director Wi.
You must make plans with Ms. Jang first.
What?
I'm sorry.
So let's stop this.
I give up.
Once you back off,
no matter what Lee Hyun Ji claims, no one will listen.
She'll take the blame for everything,
- and things will... - No.
Lee Hyun Ji won't become the killer.
Then how will you take care of it?
Take Lee Hyun Ji out.
I'll tell her and Sun Woo to cooperate.
So come up with a way to take her out.
What?
And after she comes out,
she'll be with me.
That means...
I want you to leave her alone and never bother her again.
But it's my weakness,
one that's alive. Are you saying you'll threaten me...
for the rest of my life using her?
If you don't want to do it,
we can end everything here and now.
You'll desert Mayor Do...
and tell the truth with Lee Hyun Ji?
This isn't a simple case.
This is a scandal involving the international city project.
Even if Mayor Do gets ousted and a new mayor takes office,
the project will fall through.
Knock the table over and set it again all you want,
but you won't be able to fix the broken table!
Right, the project will go down the drain.
And Chairwoman Kim will abandon us.
She'll never forgive us.
You'll end up in jail,
and I'll hit rock bottom again.
Chairwoman Kim will lose both her daughter and her daughter-in-law.
She'll spend the rest of her life, lamenting that Deo,
which matters a lot more to her than her own children,
lost the golden opportunity to take a leap.
What a tragic ending...
for all of the three women involved in this.
Jang Do Young.
I've told you, Ye Nam.
The choice is yours.
She's been under a lot of stress because her family members...
got separated for personal reasons.
That, combined with genetic factors, led to delusional disorder.
She did go to the reed field and had contact with the doctor.
But I'm sure there was a misunderstanding.
I request that you start...
from scratch and collect statements and evidence again.
- Look, Mr. Yoon. - Just accept his request.
This is a psychiatrist's diagnosis on Ms. Lee Hyun Ji.
(Yungcheon Prosecutors' Office)
He's another suspect in the reed field murder.
Part of the reed field is used as a firing range.
Rumors about him shooting someone outside the authorized area...
spread through the bars in the vicinity,
and someone reported it to us.
If all goes well,
you'll just serve a few years for bodily injury by negligence.
- Take him to the room. - Yes, sir.
It seems like Ye Nam has finally backed off.
Using Lee Hyun Ji to threaten Director Wi...
was just too risky.
We won anyway.
What kind of deal did you strike with Lee Hyun Ji?
In an hour from now, you'll become a murder suspect.
And of course, I will get you out at all costs.
But it can only be done if you trust me.
Can you do it?
If you can, tell me what you want.
I don't want to be chased or have to hide anymore.
The woman in her 30s and the 10-year-old boy too.
And please find a good elementary school for Ye Jun.
Please protect...
the three of us.
Then I'll work for you and repay you for everything step by step.
(Ministry of Justice)
I'm impressed that you really trusted me.
Weren't you afraid that I might not get you out?
Weren't you worried that I might be tempted...
by the prosecutors' offer?
Had you not trusted me,
you would've tracked down the woman and her son...
to use them to threaten me.
I hid them just in case.
I made arrangements so that I'd be informed...
if you ever visited or took them.
You're really interesting.
But you didn't even look for them.
That's why I wasn't afraid at all.
I knew you trust me.
You'll definitely earn your keep.
Let's go.
(Share Transfer Agreement)
By signing this, you agree that 70 percent of your shares...
will be transferred to the foundation.
Chairwoman Kim wants it back by the end of the week,
with your signature.
She'll make me give this back?
She also told me to bring the flight tickets to the US.
What if I refuse to sign this?
If you don't sign it, your name will be removed...
from the board of directors for Deo Cosmetics and the foundation...
as well as for our eight subsidiaries.
She also said...
she will no longer consider you her daughter.
I have to say,
your mother is really something.
Still nothing from Do Young's house? Find something, please!
I heard Master Jung Hyuk doesn't come home...
every time there's a seminar...
at the hotel.
It started before they got married, and he still does it.
I'm sure he has a mistress.
He'll be at the hotel the whole weekend, starting this Friday.
This lists all the attendees, from the executives to shareholders.
After the seminar, three people including Master Jung Hyuk...
always stay over at the hotel.
So one of them is his mistress.
Ask Mr. Hwang...
and find a tabloid reporter.
I'll catch them in the act and show the whole world.
Don't tell Mr. Hwang anything else.
What did you buy?
You never hear my footsteps...
but always hear the sound of this plastic bag with food inside.
Awesome.
I was craving plums earlier. How did you know?
Mothers and their children are connected.
My instincts told me.
Let's try it again tomorrow, then. I'll send you a telepathic message.
Sure, why not? Hang on. I'll go get changed first.
Okay. Hurry!
Mom...
Can we really live here?
Yes.
Do we no longer have to wander around...
and wake up in the middle of the night to run away?
Yes.
Is CEO Jang that powerful?
Then let's ask CEO Jang to find your mom.
And we should also ask CEO Jang to catch all those jerks for us.
CEO Jang won't do that for us.
This is all CEO Jang can do for us now.
We'll need some time to catch all those jerks who were...
involved in what happened to Mom.
Hyun Ji, all the seeds I planted have sprouted.
Come out and look!
What's meant to live survives just fine on its own.
Shall I give you a tip on how to deal with that CEO Jang?
Do you know what the last thing is...
a man with money and power wants?
A woman.
He wants a woman of his own.
If you get on that CEO's good side,
finding your mom won't be a problem.
The harmony of yin and yang leaves no room for rationality.
- Wait. - Listen.
Going to work only to work is third-grade.
Going to work to land you a man is first-grade.
The CEO's a woman.
A woman?
There's no difference.
If you bring her a truly magnificent guy...
She's so frustrating.
In the game of Go,
first, you must survive.
If you can't take down your opponent in one go,
first, you'd better learn...
to hide your identity and lie in wait.
When black is at a disadvantage,
it must use the white stones as a shield...
to survive in the enemy camp.
Until I find Mom,
I must use that woman as a shield to survive.
It's time to start over.
(Deo Hotel's 27th Regular Seminar)
It's a master card.
After the seminar, three people including Master Jung Hyuk...
always stay over at the hotel.
Suite 1701 that Master Jung Hyuk books...
is always empty and never used.
Suite 1703 is always occupied by...
a woman in her 30s.
Who are you people?
I apologize. We seem to have the wrong room.
I'm very sorry.
After the seminar, three people including Master Jung Hyuk...
always stay over at the hotel.
They have your favorite, darling.
(Secret Boutique)
Those photos could spin so many stories.
How dare you attempt blackmail?
Will the spirits want to meet such a person?
You were struck by misfortune.
If we own this property in a borrowed name,
we can use it to negotiate.
Someone already made contact.
If it's a guest, welcome them.
If not, burn them too.
I saw flames erupt behind you, Chairwoman.
A young deer ran away from the fire,
jumped over the high wall of a mansion,
and made itself at home there.
