01x13 - Infidelity

[bunniefuu]

-There's a wake I have to attend.
-Whose wake?

Taeyang Shopping Center's leader's
mother-in-law passed away.

But isn't it too late right now?

I have a tight schedule tomorrow.

It's better to go now.

He came around dinnertime

but he didn't even stay for dinner
because he was busy.

The night Ji-hoon died,

Mr. Nam was the last person he met.

What?

What about you, sir?
Did you meet with him?

No.

Honey.

Did you meet

Ji-hoon that night?

What?

On the night of Ji-hoon's accident.

Did you meet him?

After you came home from work
that evening,

you got a call from Woo-jae
and went to attend

Taeyang Shopping Center's leader's
mother-in-law's wake.

But he told me

that you came around dinnertime,

not at night.

Who did you go out to meet that night

after you lied to me
saying Woo-jae called you?

Did you meet…

Ji-hoon?

Why won't you say anything?

I didn't meet him.

You didn't?

Then who was it?

Who did you meet
that you had to lie to me about it?

I'm sorry.

I can't tell you.

Why can't you tell me?

Are you having an affair?

Hye-joo, what do you mean?

That's absurd.

Then who in the world did you meet?

Was it really not Ji-hoon?

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

We need to get back to the office,
so let's just have one drink each.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

Oh, my goodness. What was that?

-Here you go, Bit-na.
-Thank you.

-Thank you for your work.
-Sure.

This thing is awesome.

-Third term! Let's go!
-Let's go!

Look, it's Assemblyman Nam.

7 OUT OF 10 SUPPORT NAMGOONG SOL'S LAW

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical

about pushing for Namgoong Sol's Law.

There are a lot of juridical issues.

But seeing how huge
the response from the public is,

I'm beginning to think

it may actually pass.

We have nothing to lose
even if it doesn't pass.

Grabbing the public's attention
will definitely help us in the election.

To be frank,

I was really shocked.

How could someone like him
have a son like that?

And I'll be honest.

I get that his son
made a really bad choice,

but when he called
his own son out publicly,

for the first time,

he kind of scared me.

You shouldn't be scared by that.

You should be impressed.

That's right.

Here's your pork belly.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Would you like another glass?
-Sure.

Excuse me.

-I'll be right back.
-Sure.

Hey, Yeong-su.

What?

Sorry, one minute.

What is it?

What?

A post written by Jin Seung-hee
is spreading quickly.

Mom.

I wrote all about it online.

That Seung-h* died
because Kim Jae-un framed him

saying he molested her.

What?

You've lived in agony
and grief for so long.

It'll be over soon.

Right.

ASSEMBLYMAN NAM JOONG-DO'S WIFE
k*lled MY TWIN BROTHER



HE HAD THE NERVE TO PROPOSE
NAMGOONG SOL'S LAW

IT WOULD ONLY PROTECT THE LIKES OF HER

HE'S COVERING UP
HIS WIFE'S WRONGDOING

LEE JAE-U, GYEONGHU DAILY REPORTER

Stop reading them.

Since the case was never
properly investigated,

it'll be up to the court
of public opinion.

The public will decide
who is telling the truth.

So don't hide.

You have to stand tall.

That's the only way
people will believe you.

What I'm saying is…

Let's go on TV.

We're all out of options.

You keep pressuring me to go on TV.

Are you sure you haven't
made that decision before asking?

-Hye-joo.
-Answer me.

I didn't.

Believe me.

No.

I can't believe you right now.

Hye-joo.

I just don't understand
what could be so bad

that you'd rather have me
think you're cheating

or if there even could be
something so bad.

I'll think about going on TV.

Just give me some time.

Okay.

Mom.

Why were you in Seoul?

What?

Do you still not remember
why you drove yourself to Seoul?

You can't drive too well.

I don't know.

My head hurts. I'm going to sleep.

UNCLE

The person you are trying to reach is…

Darn it.

Why won't she pick up
after making such a mess?

This way, ma'am.

My goodness.

Chairwoman Woo Jin-seok.

Good evening.

I'm sorry for being late.

Not at all.

You're right on time.

Please have a seat.

So you'll make sure
that all the pending bills

proposed by the Daehan Party
will pass the deliberation process

at the Legislation
and Judiciary Committee?

Is that what you're saying?

That's correct.

I'll make sure

that at least ten of them will pass.

On what condition?

I'd like for the Daehan Party to oppose

to Namgoong Sol's Law
proposed by Assemblyman Nam Joong-do.

There's no way it will pass anyway

due to the juridical issues involved.

I just…

don't want to see you get swept up
in Assemblyman Nam's incitement

and waste your energy in the wrong places.

Strictly speaking, it's not impossible.

It's simply difficult.

If he can win over the public,

who knows what will happen?

You have several
excellent public welfare bills

pending at the Legislation
and Judiciary Committee.

Yes.

And it's all thanks to

the Nation and People's Party.

That is exactly why I'm making this offer.

A mere penal code amendment

that will only benefit
a handful of people,

or ten welfare bills

that can benefit countless people.

Which one do you think is more valuable?

I'll sleep in another room tonight.

Can't fall asleep?

Because of that online post?

There is that.

Is there something else?

Did you have a fight with Joong-do?

No.

Go to sleep, Yeo-jin.

The online post is undermining
the favorable public opinion

that formed after you proposed
Namgoong Sol's Law.

Right.

The point of this bill is
to allow investigations to continue

even after the sex offender dies
in order to bring justice to the victim,

and the post claims that Ms. Kim

framed an innocent person for a sex crime

and drove him to his death.

Reporters have been calling all morning.

It's only a matter of time
before this gets covered by the media.

I know you're all frustrated,

but please give me time
to figure out my next move,

and tell the reporters
that I'll make a statement soon.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Nam Joong-do's wife, Kim Hye-joo!

Is it true that you framed a man
for sexual as*ault and caused his death?

Kim Hye-joo! Come out this instant
and tell us the truth!

Kim Hye-joo!

The entire nation wants to know the truth!

Nam Joong-do! Kim Hye-joo!

Come out and tell the truth!

Tell us the truth! Tell us now!

Nam Joong-do's wife framed
an SNU law student-to-be

of a sexual crime

and drove him to his death.

I'm in front of her house
to meet her right now.

Nam Joong-do of the Daehan Party
is misleading the nation

with a disgraceful bill
named after a prost*tute

when this was revealed about his wife.

How ironic is that?

-Are you okay? I'm sorry.
-Yes, I'm fine.

HEADQUARTERS CS TEAM

Hello?

CS training at the headquarters?

Yes. I called to inform you
that it's been postponed a week

as the trainer is unavailable
due to personal reasons.

Mr. Choi went to the Seoul headquarters
for the CS training.

He went to the Seoul headquarters?

I thought the training
took place last week.

Last week?

It's held once every quarter, ma'am.

I'm so glad you got here early.

You must have come here
straight from the headquarters.

Yes.

Mom?

LEE JAE-U, GYEONGHU DAILY REPORTER

NEW MESSAGE
MISSED CALL

POWER OFF

HUSBAND

The phone is turned off.

You will be redirected to voicemail.

Call me.

Isn't the news about
Yoon-seo's mom shocking?

Yes.

What happened to her brother
wasn't so shocking,

but this totally was.

ASSEMBLYMAN NAM JOONG-DO'S WIFE
k*lled MY TWIN BROTHER



SHE FRAMED HIM FOR SEXUAL as*ault

Yoon-seo, don't go
to after-school classes today.

Come to the studio.

You can't go home. Understand?

Yes, Yeo-jin.

Don't go home after work.

Meet me and Yoon-seo at my studio
so we can go home together.

Yes.

Okay. Thanks.

CHIEF ADVISOR JANG WOO-JAE

Hello, Ms. Kim.

Woo-jae.

Sorry? At your house?

I see.

Are you at your studio right now?

Yes.

Ms. Kim.

I'm just getting my facts straight,
so don't take this personally.

About Jin Seung-h*'s case…

If there's anything
you haven't told Assemblyman Nam,

could you please tell me right now?

We need to come up with a plan.

Woo-jae.

I told the truth.

Okay. I understand.

Things aren't looking good
after the online post today.

Could you…

go on the news this evening?

Today?

Is everything already decided?

No, ma'am.

We're waiting for you to decide.

I'll ask someone at the district office

to go to your house and check.

I'll inform Assemblyman Nam as well.

I'll be in touch.

Goodbye.

She'll really need to grow thicker skin.

Hello, Mr. Yoo.

You should tell Seung-hee the truth.

Apologize to Jae-eun…

No.

You should beg for her forgiveness.

No.

I could never do that.

Mom, I got into
the SNU School of Law today.

Are you going to let her
accuse me of a sex crime?

No, right?

I will

never let anyone call my son

a sex offender.

Ms. Lee.

What?

Are you going to tell Seung-hee?

Seung-hee.

Do you have anything to tell me?

I do.

Jae-eun

didn't lie.

She was molested by Seung-h*.

-What?
-Your mother was the one who lied.

She's been deceiving you for 20 years.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm innocent.

Kim Jae-eun is lying.

Seung-h* was innocent when he died.

He told me so.

That's not true.

He lied to you.

Before he died,

he came clean with your mother.

Did you meet with Jae-eun?

You did.

Do you like her?

Is that why you're accusing
Seung-h* and my mom of lying?

To defend her?

Seung-hee.

He's the one who's lying!

You're the one who lied, not me!

Seung-hee.

He was scheming with
Jae-eun's husband behind our backs.

He was going to give him
evidence of my real estate speculation.

I came to Seoul to confront him
and got into that accident.

Ms. Lee!

Choi Ki-young.

Is this true?

Seung-hee, let's talk outside.

You can leave.

Get out.

Right now.

What's the point of advocating
severe punishment for sex crimes

and conducting seminars?

We can't keep our own people in order.

Assemblyman Nam,
what's the matter with your family?

This will affect the general election.

Leave the party!

Look, Assemblyman Nam.

You should give up on
that Namgoong Sol's Law first.

With the election coming up,

I'm afraid a sensitive issue like this
will divide the people.

Bringing the people together
should be our priority.

I'm sorry for causing a stir.

But I will take care of my wife's case,

and I'll win the public over again.

Just like you said,
this is a sensitive issue.

If we handle it well,
it'll help us greatly in the election.

So I'm…

asking for your support.

Chairwoman Woo,
haven't you always supported

severe punishment for sex crimes?

I need your help.

We already have a ton of bills

pending at the Legislation
and Judiciary Committee.

Why would we put
all our eggs in that basket?

Mom, I'm here.

Hey, Yoon-seo.

You're here.

Did you come straight from school?
Are you hungry?

-Mom.
-Yes?

I read the post.

You did?

Yes.

But Mom.

You didn't lie, did you?

-Yoon-seo.
-After reading that post,

I'm having doubts.

You are an innocent victim

like you told me before.

Right?

Yoon-seo.

I didn't lie.

Why would I lie about that?

After he died, I was really--

But it's just odd.

He got into SNU
and had a bright future ahead of him.

So why would he do that?

Hye-joo, I'm here.

Are you telling the truth?

Can I believe you

instead of everyone else?

You didn't lie to get money, did you?

Yoon-seo!

Yeo-jin.

Can you take her to your restaurant?

Are you sure
you don't want to come with us?

Yes, I have some work to finish
before I leave.

Okay.

Call me.

Yoon-seo, let's go.

Yoon-seo.

Sir.

Yes?

Ms. Kim called.

Some people showed up outside your house.

Because of that online post?

Yes.

She's at her studio right now.

They were gone by the time
Mr. Yoo went to check.

HYE-JOO

Hey, honey.

I'll go on TV.

And I want to do it as soon as possible.

If I can't avoid it,
I might as well get it over with.

Okay.

-Then--
-Hye-joo.

Thank you for your courage.

I mean it.

She says she'll go on TV.
Let's do it tomorrow.

Not today?

No one cares about a guy
who puts out a small fire.

Let's wait for it to turn into a wildfire.

But the longer we wait,
the riskier it will be for us.

Those currently supporting
Namgoong Sol's Law

might turn their backs on us.

I know.

But for that law to pass,

I have no choice but to take a gamble.

But Ms. Kim will suffer
and be condemned for that much longer.

I have no choice

for the greater good.

Plus, I'm doing all of this

for her sake as well.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Jin accused my wife on the internet.

What?

She did?

I guess you didn't know.

As a result,

my wife is suffering greatly.

I'm determined
to get to the bottom of that case.

And I'm about to give you
a chance to reveal the truth

and set things right.

Evidence of Assemblyman Kang
and your mother-in-law's land speculation.

Please hand it over.

I'll give you one day.

I'll be in touch.

I will…

have it ready for you tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you.

Like I promised,

I'll keep you anonymous.

I'm giving you the evidence,

but not because I'm afraid
my wife will find out.

Once the truth is out,

this situation will change…

in one way or another.

Hey, Hye-joo.

Mr. Yoo gave us a ride home.

No one's here now, so hurry home.

Okay, I will.

Bye.

DA-SOM'S MOM [HWANG JI-SOO]

Hey, Ji-soo.

Can I call you back? I'm a bit--

About Ji-hoon?

Let me get you on an IV first.

You look so pale.

Tell me what you wanted to say.

Actually,

I'm not supposed to tell you this

because of doctor-patient confidentiality.

But I thought you could
get some weight off your chest.

The…

The girl who was allegedly
sexually assaulted by Ji-hoon…

Is her name Kim Soo-bin?

How did you know that?

I see.

Last time we met…

Who's that in the picture?

She's Ji-hoon's…

I recognized her in the photo
that you dropped.

She was a patient of mine.

She didn't know she had a miscarriage.

She had a miscarriage?

I guess you didn't know.

It was a missed miscarriage.

So…

So is she okay?

She came back with abdominal pain
after the surgery.

But it was nothing serious.

By the way,

did she tell you

that the baby was Ji-hoon's?

Yes.

Was it not?

No, it wasn't.

She got pregnant
while Ji-hoon was in prison.

So it couldn't have been his.

NA YE-EUN

Why aren't you here?

Did you go see a doctor?

Are you pregnant?

SOO-BIN, I'M IN TROUBLE
PLEASE ANSWER YOUR PHONE

How have you been?

She had the miscarriage
about eight weeks into her pregnancy.

Apparently, he was drunk.

Ji-hoon passed away about two weeks

after he was released from prison.

That means she became pregnant
during his time in prison.

The pregnancy test kit can be inaccurate,

so I had a blood test
at the hospital yesterday.

This number means I'm five weeks pregnant,

so I got pregnant three weeks ago.

Which means there's no way
it could have been Ji-hoon's baby.

And I don't think

she was sexually assaulted either.

I have a question about induced ab*rtion.

I was told at another clinic

that it's now legal

for someone who isn't
a r*pe victim to get it.

Anyway,

do you do that here?

I wasn't r*ped

or anything like that.

She said that she wasn't r*ped,

so it must be true.

Although you'd have to ask her to be sure.

Not who you were expecting?

You're so naive.

Why is Ji-hoon's family such a mess?

Even his mom made the news today.

Why?

When she was young and money hungry,

she framed a top student
for molesting her,

and he k*lled himself.

His sister exposed her online.

Yeo-jin.

Back when I lived in Youngsan,

my friend's brother died.

I was molested by him,
so I went to the police.

And that night,

he k*lled himself.

She really was molested.

It's true.

Who cares?

You know,

when I first found out you were pregnant,
I thought I was the father.

So I regretted breaking up with you.

It would have been the token of our love.

-I was pissed to find out Ji-hoon--
-Hold on.

How did you know I was pregnant?

What?

Ji-hoon's dad

didn't mention that
at the press conference.

How did you know?

Were you the one
who sent my medical records

to that other assemblyman?

Did you go through my phone too?

What did you expect after betraying me?

I didn't do much.

I found a medical document on your phone.

…that you got pregnant
as a result of a sexual as*ault.

I just asked Ye-eun to go
to the clinic and pretend to be you.

You said the assailant was your boyfriend.

Why did you frame Ji-hoon for r*pe?

You couldn't get any money
because his dad told the press, right?

Hey.

Run an errand for me.

No? Would you rather go to prison?

What?

You lent out your bank account
for dealing meth.

When did I ever--

BACK

Someone's been busy.

Is that why you took my bankbook and card?

Did he really…

Did Ji-hoon really

do that

to you?

No.

The person you are trying to reach
is currently unavailable.

KIM SOO-BIN [OLD]

The person you are trying to reach
is currently unavailable.

Please leave a message at the tone.

Soo-bin, it's Ji-hoon's mom.

COMPREHENSIVE COUNTERMEASURES

LEAVE PUBLIC WELFARE BILLS PENDING

Assemblyman Kang Soon-hong.

This is Woo Jin-seok.

Then I'll lower the security deposit
by ten million won.

Okay. Thank you in advance.

Yeo-jin, are you in?

Hey, you're home.

Yeo-jin.

Soo-bin had

a miscarriage.

And the baby wasn't Ji-hoon's.

And it doesn't seem like

he sexually assaulted her.

Is that right?

Thank goodness.

That's a relief.

That's a huge relief.

Soo-bin told me

that Joong-do met Ji-hoon

just before his accident.

But Joong-do says
that he didn't meet him that night.

But he won't tell me who he met.

He lied to me
that he was attending a wake.

I even asked him
if he was having an affair.

But he still wouldn't tell me.
Who could it have been?

But you know what?

He told me he'd been
blackmailed by Soo-bin.

But what if…

God forbid, what if that was a lie?

I'm just so scared that there might be
something else I don't know about.

But I can't believe
everything Soo-bin tells me.

I can't trust anybody right now.

I guess there's someone I can trust.

I still have you.

Take this burner phone.

Come out when I call you.

Okay?

I was wondering why
Ji-hoon had meth on him.

You had him make a drop, didn't you?

No.

That b*stard

stole it.

I told him to deliver it
on the day he died.

But he refused, so Ye-eun went instead.

But he snatched it

before the client could pick it up.

He refused to get involved in drug dealing

only to use it himself.

He got what he deserved.

Don't you agree?

BLOCKED NUMBERS

Ms. Kim?

CALLS AND MESSAGES FROM THIS NUMBER

Listen, Kim Soo-bin.

Just a second.

INCOMING CALL

"JD"?

Is he the father?

What's wrong?

Is he harassing you?

Did you stay at
Mr. Nam's place to avoid him?

If you cooperate with us,
we can keep you safe from him.

And how are you going to do that?

It's really not that hard for us.

So don't worry about that

and stay away from Ms. Kim.

Just cooperate with us.

Got it?

Okay.

Good.

You're still up.

It's late.

TV is scheduled for tomorrow.

If you ever felt like
I was pressuring you to do this,

that's my fault.

I'm sorry.

Honey.

What you should be sorry about is

what happened that night.

Are you really not going to tell me
who you met that night?

Do you know how it feels
when the husband that I love

is hiding something from me?

It's a living hell.

I feel like I don't know you anymore.

I met Ji-hoon that day.

Ji-hoon?

You met him that night?

Is that true?

That's not what you said yesterday.

That night…

I…

scolded him.

Sir. You didn't drink too much, did you?

No, the patron didn't seem to drink much.

I'm almost home.

NAM JI-HOON

Long time no talk, Ji-hoon.

How have you--

What?

You called me for the first time in months

to tell me you got in trouble while drunk?

What are you--

So get over here right now!

Where are you?

Text me the address.

HYE-JOO

Okay. Get home safely.

I swear, this kid…

Where are you meeting him? I'll drive you.

I can't go right away.

I told Hye-joo I was almost home.

And I can't tell her
he got in trouble again.

She might actually collapse
from the shock this time.

You should go home and come out later.

I'll give you a call.

Tell her you're attending

Taeyang Shopping Center's leader's
mother-in-law's wake.

Why won't you let your mom live in peace?

Think about all the times
you got in trouble!

Get it together!

I got pretty upset with him.

And he passed right after.

It drove me crazy.

So when you asked me about it,

I got flustered and I lied to you.

I was in so much pain…

that I didn't want to tell anyone.

Especially not you.

I really wanted to

hide it from you.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

I'm sorry

for hurting you.

Fine. I'd rather you disappear
than cause trouble like this!

No.

Don't blame yourself, okay?

You had no idea

that it would be

the last time you'd see Ji-hoon.

CURRENT HUMIDITY

Soo-bin.

I came to tell you something.

YOU HAVE A NEW VOICEMAIL
PRESS THE CALL BUTTON TO LISTEN

Soo-bin.

Even if you had falsely accused Ji-hoon,

I'll forgive you.

So please just tell me the truth.

But above all, Soo-bin,

I truly hope

you weren't sexually assaulted.

Of course

it's partially because I don't want
my son to be a sex offender,

but more importantly,

I really hope that you didn't go through

something so terrible.

And Soo-bin.

I heard you had a miscarriage

and that the baby wasn't Ji-hoon's.

I also heard you were alone
when you got the ab*rtion.

I wish you would have just told me.

How did you bear
all that pain on your own?

Your husband…

and the lady from the noodle shop…

are having an affair.

I'm blackmailing you right now.

I know you're having an affair.

Ji-hoon and I

saw everything at your house.

Are you afraid that Hye-joo will find out?

It was the day of Ji-hoon's accident.

The day I ran into you
in front of the clinic,

what I was going to tell you there was…

It was that your husband
might have k*lled Ji-hoon.

What?

Have you gone crazy? How could you say--

Ji-hoon told me

he was going to confront his dad
about the affair that day.

You're having an affair.

And he died right after that.

That's why I think…

he might have k*lled Ji-hoon.

INFIDELITY

TROLLEY

Don't tell anyone about what you just saw.

Are you afraid that Hye-joo will find out?

He's definitely capable of k*lling.

Just what are you accusing me of?

I want both of you out of this house.

I'll handle Namgoong Sol's law on my own.

Throw it away!

There's no way it was suicide.

Whatever she says, we can just deny it.

Have you lost your mind?

It was inevitable for the greater good.
