01x12 - The Truth About The Fire

[bunniefuu]

It wasn't your fault.

[Episode 12]

I took money in exchange for saying...

I started the fire.

You were paid?

By whom? Who paid you?

I didn't know who he was.

He came to see me at the police station.

He said he worked for Hanju.

You took money from Hanju?

Why?

Was the money that paid for
my food and education...

from Hanju?

Why did you take that money? Why?

By any chance,

was the Hanju employee
who came to the police station...

this man?

Yes.

[14 years ago,
Hanju Fashion Seopyung Factory]

Where are they?

- Help!
- This way!

Come in.

- You search that way.
- My goodness.

What do we do?

Wait.

After throwing a tantrum saying
you'd burn everything down,

Did you really set it on fire?

What do you mean?

- What?
- What?

- Was it you?
- You jerk!

People accused me at the scene,

so I was taken to the police station.

[May they rest in peace]

I heard Mother was cremated
without a funeral,

so I begged them to let me go.

[Choi Seung Ok]

Why did you come here?

What right do you have to come here?

It's all your fault.

Why did you call Grandma?

Things like this always happen
when you show up.

You should've just stayed in prison.
Why did you come out?

Yeon Ju.

There was a misunderstanding,

but it'll be cleared up soon.

I mean it. I swear before my mother.

This is a misunderstanding.

I'll explain everything once I get out.

Mother.

[Looking for witnesses]

Hello.

May I put these up?

You can put one up there.

The police determined that the fire
at the Hanju factory in Seopyung...

was the act of a disgruntled worker
who was angry about being laid off.

According to Seopyung Police,

the suspect Kang had forewarned
that he'd set the factory on fire...

and burned tissues in a trash can.

He has admitted his guilt.

Imagine how I felt...

when I saw on the news
that you confessed...

after swearing to me that you didn't.

That last sliver of hope
that I was holding onto...

snapped that very moment.

I had no choice.

Who...

Are you my attorney?

Please get me out of here.

This is unfair.

What is?

- What?
- What's unfair?

I didn't start the fire.

But you wanted to.

That was just talk.

I didn't mean to really do it.

Would people believe you?

Do you think they would believe...

an ex-con thug?

You can't get out anyway.

th*gs like you
should be used to these things.

What do you say?

Why don't you take some money
and keep your mouth shut?

At that moment,

I felt like what my daughter needed...

wasn't this useless dad...

but money.

That was why I agreed.

My condition was that they make sure
you never find out...

that I was paid.

Why did you decide that by yourself?

You...

always ended up being hurt...

if I was in your life.

Why did you think that...

Things like this always happen
when you show up.

You should've just stayed in prison.
Why did you come out?

Why are you buried everywhere
in my life and explode like mines?

Why?

Yeon Ju.

Okay. You don't have a choice anymore.

Tell me...

everything you know about Mi Na.

Who is she?

Not long ago,

I saw medicine in our room
with someone else's name.

[Prescription]

Cho Yeon Ju.

It was from a hospital, not a pharmacy,

so I called the hospital director.

There was a record in the VIP ward.

I went right over.

What room is Cho Yeon Ju in?
I'm here to visit her.

It says she was discharged.

She left right away.

That can't be.

Wasn't it her?

Yes, it was.

She stayed briefly and left.

May I see her medical file?

I'm sorry, but I can't let you see that.

I couldn't get anything else.

They couldn't give me information
about a VIP patient.

Is that all?

All you know is her name and age.

It's true.

What will happen to her?

Don't you get it yet?

Cho Yeon Ju.

I've heard that name before.

Find someone for me.

All I have are her name and age.

Yes, ma'am.

Here.

I got calls from the ER all the time
when I was young.

That my dad was stabbed...

or that he beat someone to a pulp.

I was so used to it.

That was why you knew
they had these things in the ER.

About that money.

Someone gave it to me saying
my grandma had life insurance...

and named me as the beneficiary.

I was too young and didn't think
to check the documents.

There's no way to find him now.

I'm so sorry.
I don't know how to face you.

Don't say that.

No.

My grandma always said
nothing ever happens...

purely because of one person.

But after what I heard earlier, I think...

it really was because of me.

If I had stopped my grandmother
from going that day,

she'd still be alive today.

Then my father wouldn't have tried
to take the blame...

for something someone else did.

It really was purely because of me.

Why does my life stink so much?

From the moment I was born,

I've worked hard and given it my all.

Why must I always be embarrassed
and ashamed,

and always feel so pathetic?

I hate my life so much.

I can't blame you.

He was never there for you.

He was always in and out of prison.

Whenever people almost forgot,
he'd get out of prison...

and cause trouble and humiliate you
and your grandmother.

Your grandmother provided
for the family all by herself.

How do you know that so well?

That was what your father said.

And after what he told you today,

I'm sure you hate him.

So...

let go of at least one thing.

What do you mean?

You have to find the person
who k*lled your grandmother,

get revenge on the prosecutor
from back then,

hate your father,

and pretend to be Mi Na now.

Gosh.

What a tough life.

Let's reduce your burden.

Start by stopping hating your father.

It's not that easy.

I've said and done so many things.

Human beings are complex and multifaceted.

That was something you said.

He'll have to tell himself that was
how you used to be, but not anymore,

and accept it.

Here.

Here.

There you go.

That perked me up.

Right?

Do you want one more?

[Identity Assurance Statement]

[Father, Kang Myung Guk]

[Serving in Seopyung Penitentiary]

Her father is the Hanju Factory arsonist.

[Cho Yeon Ju, Lee Bong Sik]

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

[Kang Myung Guk]

[Cho Yeon Ju, Lee Bong Sik]

The lead prosecutor in the case...

was Ryu Seung Duk,
who is at the Central District Office now.

And as for the arson case
and the hit-and-run,

I'm sure he didn't properly investigate
either of them.

So he's an enemy, to both of you.

Jung Do Woo offered Jang Seok h* money...

and ordered him to k*ll Kang Mi Na.

It tells us that she had something
that could harm Hanju's reputation.

The details of what happened 14 years ago,

which was on the tablet.

Correct. 14 years ago,
Jung Do Woo paid Jang Seok h*...

to give a false statement.

That's how he framed Yeon Ju's father.

I'm sure someone from Hanju
started the fire.

Right. So the most important thing
we can draw from this...

is that her father
didn't actually have anything...

to do with your father's death.

Good.

Is that important now?

To me, it is the most important thing.

Oh, boy.

Let's go home
and sleep comfortably for a change.

Are you kidding me?

How can I go
to the Hanju family's residence...

and sleep there after what I heard today?

I'll tell them I have to work all night,

so just say that if they ask you.

We should go to Seopyung
first thing in the morning...

and hear what her father has to say.

Sure, suit yourself.

Wait, hold on.
I should check the schedule.

The memorial service
for Han Sung Chan is tomorrow.

It's the anniversary of his passing.

The shareholders' meeting
is also tomorrow.

They'll probably discuss
the transfer of my shares.

Let's just make sure we're not late
for the shareholders' meeting.

But if you don't go home again,

they won't let it slide.

I let her off once,

and she's now pulling this
whenever she wants.

Are you sure she's at work?

Wherever she is,

she'd better attend the memorial service.

Only a few people are attending,

so having
the chairman of Yumin Group there...

will save our face.

Is that all you care about?

Why did you insist on holding
a memorial service to begin with?

I'm already upset
that it'll be a small service...

with just a few family members attending.

How could you say such a thing, Mother?

I'd feel better if I could think
that he lived somewhere far away.

Holding a memorial service for him...

just reminds me of the fact
that my son is dead.

My gosh, Mother.

You love your eldest son so dearly.

Gosh, it's such a shame.

If he were alive,

he'd be getting all your love
and your shares too.

Hey!

Hold on. Is Sung Woon not home yet either?

Do they both just not care anymore?

Hey.

I knew you'd come.

I can't believe
you had the nerve to call me.

But you came.
You didn't have to come, you know.

You're the only one who cares about me.

Did your sister get you ousted?

What?

"Oust" is not a slang word.
It's in the dictionary.

Do you not think at all...

before you act?

Wait, do you even have a brain?

I can't believe you called me,
of all people.

I love it when you say mean words to me...

because of your clear diction.

Do not call me again,
or you'll hear some curse words...

that are seriously offensive.

Do you think
I still have feelings for you?

I came here to warn you.

Don't mess things up
just because your plan fell through.

You'd better stay quiet...

because things are still looking up
for me.

Things are still looking up for you?

What does that mean?

Why would I tell you?

Enjoy the night to the fullest
because this will be the last time.

After the shareholders' meeting tomorrow,

even the staff at your hotel bar
will treat you like dirt.

Hi.

Hey, what's up?

Do you think I'm not on your level...

now that you're the chief of
the Seoul Central District Office?

[Seopyung District
Prosecutors' Office, Kim Yong Ha]

You never call me anymore.

I don't have time for jokes. What's up?

Don't pretend to be busy.

Remember the case
you had transferred to our office?

The one involving Hanju's daughter-in-law.

Yes, what about it?

An Yu Jun was in charge of the case.

I was looking for him this morning...

because I had a task for him,
but he was nowhere to be seen.

Then I found him in the archive.

What are you saying?

I checked what he was looking at...

to see what he was doing.

You worked on the Hanju Factory
arson case when you were here.

Turns out, he made copies
of all the documents on the case.

Did you ask him to look
into something regarding Hanju?

[Ryu Seung Duk]

Hey, it's me. Is Ms. Cho in her office?

She called in sick.

What?

[Visitation Room]

You're here.

No one came in,

so I stepped out to check the time.

We'll be right in.

You were here yesterday too.

I guess that jerk is giving you
the runaround, Madam Prosecutor.

You see, arsonists have no remorse.

And he used to be a thug.
What do you expect?

Good luck today.

Well, I can't feel better overnight...

because of what I heard yesterday.

But now we know
that there was a misunderstanding.

You received money
in return for taking the blame,

so you're not completely innocent.

You're still an accomplice.

I'm okay,

so stay strong.

As if that's any of your business.

I'll get you out.

I wanted to be of help to you.

I wanted to pay for my mother's death...

by rotting here for the rest of my life...

and take the truth to my grave.

But because I helped them
conceal the truth,

I now owe this young man an apology.

And I thought I should tell you...

that I didn't k*ll his father.

Okay, I heard you.

By the way, what really happened that day?

I only found out about your release
that day.

It's soybean stew. Is Dad out?

Just be quiet and eat your food.

When did he get out?

I'm not eating this.

He didn't come here.

He knew you'd be like this,
so he couldn't come here.

He's scared of his own daughter.

I even made his favorite dish,

but he didn't come see his mom.

He was released a while ago.

He got a job at a big company.

- A big company?
- At the Hanju Fashion factory.

Are you sure he's not getting
involved in another protest?

He's been hired officially
as a production worker.

Let's see how long he stays.

He's already worked there
for almost a month.

Grandma.

It's time to give up on him.

"I've changed.
I'll never use violence again."

Next thing we know,
we get a call from the police.

It has happened too many times.

If you keep falling for his lies,

he'll never change.

You're right. You're such a smart girl.

I'll never fall for his lies again.

I'll make sure my son
stays on the right path.

I'd say that if I were...

a respected independence activist's mother
on TV.

But I can't because I feel bad
for not raising my son right.

If I don't welcome him and feed him,

who would?

What about you?

Every time someone brings up your dad,
you flip your lid,

get into a fight, and quit your school.

Why should I put up with
a troublemaker like you?

Think of how I must feel.

You're responsible for him as his mother,

but what about me?

Not all parents are satisfied
with their children.

It's the same the other way around.

Not all children are satisfied
with their parents.

You may feel it's unfair,

but what can you do?

That darned brat.

Still, I didn't get a call
from the police this time.

Imagine how relieved I was to hear
he was working in a factory.

He'll be fine as long as he doesn't
lose his temper and hit someone.

I doubt it.

I bet he gets in trouble again
in a few days.

[Hanju Fashion]

You heard about the theft
that happened in the office yesterday,

didn't you?

All the money from our clients
went missing.

Yes.

The culprit is definitely among us.

Even if it were an outsider,

there must have been an accomplice
within the company.

You have a criminal record, don't you?

Your family seems to be struggling too.

What are you trying to say?

I only started working here recently.

How would I know where that money is?

I mean... Search me.

That day, someone important
was supposed to visit.

I think that's why they wanted
to cover up the incident.

They weren't going to trust me
from the beginning.

They just wanted to pin everything on me.

They even paid me next month's salary...

and kicked me out!

If they thought I was the culprit,
why would they pay me?

They must've felt bad about framing me...

when there wasn't even any evidence!

If they investigated,
they would've known it wasn't you.

What's wrong with them?

During the investigation,
they found out about my criminal record.

But that doesn't mean I'm the thief!

As you know, I've only been convicted
of as*ault so far.

I've never committed any thefts!

Goodness, I'm so proud of you.

It's because you get into fights
all the time...

and try to solve everything
with violence...

that people suspect you
whenever something happens.

I've had enough of your nagging.
I'm hanging up!

How could they treat a member
of the Nammoon g*ng like this?

I can't take this money. I won't!

I'll burn everything in front of everyone!

I don't need this chump change.
In front of everyone,

I'll set fire to it!

You think I'm a thief? You hurt my pride!

What do you take me for?

What is it?

What are you up to now?

You'll burn what?

How much did you drink?

Listen.

Don't be such a nuisance
in the middle of the night.

Wait right there.

I'm coming over now.

Don't do anything
and wait right there, okay?

Goodness.

Where are you going?

I'm going to go get your dad.
Lead the way.

See? I knew he'd get in trouble.

What did he do now? A g*ng fight?

He's not in trouble yet.

You go alone. I'm not going.

I'm sick and tired of this.

My goodness.

I just want them to listen to me.

Who cares if I set fire
to a bunch of money?

Why is she making such a fuss?

Gosh.

Darn it.

I can't believe that old woman.

How is she going to get here
at this hour anyway?

She should've just stayed home.

There's no way she can get here.

What?

Why is there smoke?

What's going on? How did the fire start?

But something didn't feel right.

What? What do you mean?

I felt like something had changed.

What's this?

Something I didn't see earlier
was on fire.

I saw the Hanju Fashion logo
on the front cover.

[Hanju Fashion]

A ledger.

That's what it looked like.

Hanju Fashion's ledger...

was outside?

Your father must have tried
to either move the ledgers...

or burn them up, thinking it was too late.

He couldn't escape the fire
because of the ledgers.

If the ledger was outside,
why was he inside?

Maybe he couldn't come out.

Could the important visitor
have been your father?

He went there unannounced.

That's why no one knew he was in the fire.

His car was found in the garage afterward,

and it seemed like he drove there himself.

Then who's the important person
that was supposed to come?

I'm not sure.

Back then,
Hanju Fashion was under Hanju Trade.

So it may have been my uncle,
the then president of Hanju Trade.

He also benefited the most
from my father's death.

Did you say only your father's car
was found in the garage afterward?

Yes.

While working as a prosecutor,
I've requested many warrants...

for hit-and-run cases.

A lieutenant at the traffic division
once told me this.

In a hit-and-run case,

what's most important is
where the car came from.

My grandma's accident happened
such a long time ago.

There were no CCTV cameras...

anywhere near the scene.

No witnesses or clues either.

So it was impossible to find out
where the car had come from.

But if something happened between
Chairman Han and your father...

and Chairman Han left in a car,

he may be the person who hit my grandma.

I think we should go
to the Seopyung DPO. Let's go.

[Prosecutor An Yu Jun,
Investigator Kim Ju Hyung]

The case files are a mess.

Most interviews were omitted.

Is that okay?

The prosecutor gets to decide...

what goes on record.

Was there really
an important visitor that day?

According to the factory employees'
statements in the case files,

there were no scheduled appointments
or visitors that day.

But the person
who asked the witnesses from that night...

to lie was Jung Do Woo.

He was Han Young Sik's driver at the time.

That's right.

It's unlikely that he went there
alone on the day of the fire.

But Chairman Han Young Sik...

had an alibi on record
that he was in his office.

It could've been a lie
if he was supposedly at his office.

A witness mentioned
only in an early article said...

that he had left work late...

and heard people arguing.

He's in the prosecution's file too.

But he changed his statement the next day.

He said he was mistaken.

Then we should find him.

He died.

About two weeks after the fire.

The cause of death was overworking,

and they didn't investigate.

Darn it.

Anyway, what's with this teamwork?

Why do you know all of this so well?

[Seopyung Hanju Factory fire]

I brought this in case
you were interested in Hanju Group.

I investigated all I could
and gave it all to him.

I found out recently...

after I gave you the USB drive
about the witness dying.

But it was too long ago,

so there were no hospital records.

There wasn't much I could gather.

In other words,

we have to uncover facts...

that are not in the prosecution's file,

which we can't find
because it has been too long.

That's right.

Why are you standing up?

It's like a term savings maturing.

What is?

All of this happened in Seopyung.

Let's go cash out.

Let's go.

- My gosh.
- My gosh, Ms. Cho!

- It's been so long.
- How have you been?

- When the fire department goes out!
- We save lives!

You haven't changed.

If you need anything,

call him anytime.

He's An Yu Jun,
a prosecutor at Seopyung District.

Even before the laws were changed,
Seopyung's Fire Department...

was allowed to run over
illegally parked cars...

thanks to Ms. Cho stating
there was clear intent...

and slamming them with fines.

We got really used to that...

and our jobs are so comfortable.

Of course.

Ambulances and fire trucks
should always go forward.

That's not all.

You knew everyone's connections...

and covered up
the fire inspection corruption...

by higher ups
so that there were no problems.

Is it okay to talk about this?

You always say what you want
and then ask if it's okay.

You haven't changed one bit.

People shouldn't change.

Anyway, you were in Seopyung
for almost 15 years, right?

Seopyung is a great place to live,

so there couldn't have been
many big fires.

Of course not. Why do you ask?

May we go somewhere and chat?

Sure. Come in.

Her term savings...

Was with a person.

Yes, I remember the Hanju factory fire.

I was a rookie back then.

They say what you saw as a rookie
stays with you until you retire.

One person died in that fire, right?

Yes. There were many people in the dorm,

but someone had gotten them out safely.

But human beings are strange.

That man deserved a medal
for being a hero,

but it turned out he was the arsonist.

Was there anything strange
at the scene of the fire?

The man who died probably died
because he was trapped...

when the fire shutter came down.

It was way too late
by the time we found him.

When there is a fire,

most victims are found
by exits and windows.

So it wasn't strange that he was there.

But there was no trace.

Trace?

Whatever the case may be,
if you make it to the fire shutter,

you pat the shutter to look for the door,

bang on it, or something like that.

So that always breaks my heart.

You see handprints on the shutter...

and traces of the victims
trying to get it open.

But...

there was nothing like that
on the shutter.

Even if he had spent
all his energy getting there...

But that couldn't have been.
He was lying down too straight.

But since it was an arson,

I assumed...

the cops would get an autopsy
or something and figure it out.

[Seopyung Fire Department]

I never heard anything about an autopsy.

My uncle had moved my father...

to Hanju Hospital before the police
even arrived at the hospital.

You can require an autopsy...

regardless of where the body is.

There was no request made.

What's wrong with the chief prosecutor?

Why does he want pictures
of his junior prosecutor...

while she's out on sick leave?

What if this is considered surveillance?

Going to the police was a dead end,

so you'll go to the fire department.

These runts are getting creative.

My gosh. Ms. Cho.

It's been so long.

- How have you been?
- Hold on.

This is Yu Jin.

Who is this jerk?

Where have I seen him before?

Does he work at a department store?

[Seopyung Fire Department]

What? She showed up in Seopyung?

Yes. She's gallivanting around town
with two guys.

Are you sure she was the woman
who chased you...

for the USB drive?

I told you. I'm positive.

Even if you cover your face,

people like us just know.

So? Should I keep tailing her?

Yes, just stay on her for now.

Also, have you heard the name
Cho Yeon Ju before?

Cho Yeon Ju?

Hold up. That name sounds very familiar.

That rumor is true?

- Yes.
- What is going on here?

Are you saying you got the DNA test run...

not to silence the fake rumor,

but to prove it was true?

I couldn't tell you that back then,
but yes, that's correct.

Why are you telling me this now?

I had requested a DNA test...

using the DNA sample you gave me,
and we're getting the results today.

We're short on time,

so the results will be delivered
to the shareholders' meeting.

I need you to announce it there.

That means she'll lose her position
as chairman of Yumin.

No. That's not important.

She'll be taken out in handcuffs.

I called SBC...

and planted a reporter
in the shareholders' meeting,

so once you make the announcement,

the world will find out almost instantly.

Is it wise to expose this so publicly?

We may be humiliated for being played...

by that fraud.

Oh my.

I'm actually doing this for you.

You are?

Think of the pros first.

She's the chairman of Yumin.

You can't catch her
if you don't do something public.

Also, the one who lied is at fault.

We're just victims who fell for her lies.

That's true.

I can't lose something bigger
just to save face.

Then where's my real niece?

The fake should know.

The fake may have already
done something to the fake.

It is heinous,

but we don't really need
the real one to show up.

The Prosecutor's Office
should be able to investigate.

What do you think?

If that happens,

I'll feel bad, but what can you do?

All her life,
she's been a nuisance to the family.

She is my niece, but I don't feel
attached to her in any way.

Anyway, I'll remember everything
you did for me...

if we can just get
that con artist locked up.

I'm sure there were
security cameras inside the factory.

Even if that was the case,
they'd be gone by now.

Forget the factory workers.

Why don't we look for other witnesses?

The factory is in the middle of nowhere.

No one went there
unless they worked at the factory.

Someone else was in the area that day.

- Who?
- Me.

My grandmother's accident
took place near the factory,

and I was close by.

Is there anything you remember?

That's the problem.

I was in panic mode that day.

I can barely recall the things
that I used to remember.

[Forensic Hypnosis Investigation Room]

It's worth a try.

It relies on memory,
so it's not admissible in court,

but it may be helpful
for the investigation.

It tends to be very effective
when the person really wants...

to recall what happened.

All right. Shall we get started?

Relax. Breathe in and out.

Take a deep breath.

We will now dig up your old memories.

Deep in your heart,

are there any images...

or still shots of the past events...

that you are holding onto?

Try to remember what happened.

It's the night of October 2, 2007.

Clearly, I got my temper from Grandma.

She got mad at me
because I raised my voice at her.

The bus stops running early.
I can't believe she went alone.

It's odd.

What's odd?

The bus stops running early,

and I never see cars on that road.

But I see a car driving by.

And what's even weirder is...

I've never seen
such an expensive car in this area.

What's that car doing here?

What's the car model?

I don't know.
It's a model I've never seen before.

But the emblem is...

It looks like a beetle of some sort.

I see.

Now, you can see the license plate number.

Read it out to me.

Five...

Eight. I see eight.

["Hanju Automobile Launches


Three, two, five, eight.

With an emblem that looks like a beetle.

It was my uncle's car.

[Hanju Automobile]

There were no follow-up articles about it.

And they never actually launched
the limited-edition model.

Okay, thank you.

The car was scrapped on October 3, 2007.

The day after the incident.

Chairman Han Young Sik
hit my grandmother with his car...

while driving alone.

And Ryu Seung Duk helped him cover it up.

But there is nothing we can do now...

if Chairman Han doesn't respond at all.

Too much time has passed.

And we have no solid evidence
to prove that he did it.

There's a strategy I use...

when I have a suspect in mind
but no solid evidence...

while working on an old case
after a lot of time has passed.

What is it?

Attacking them on the blind side.

Usually, we raid them
after securing evidence.

But we'll launch an attack
without evidence.

What's he doing here?

What brings you here?

I only heard about
Sung Chan's death later...

and couldn't even attend his funeral,

so I wanted to attend this today.

Come in.

When you do something bad,

you can't be at peace with it.

You may think you've put it behind you,

but when someone brings it up,

the memories come flooding back...

and shake you all up,

like a snow globe tossed upside down.

Even though a lot of time has passed,

it still feels like yesterday.

You can never really get over
your loved one's sudden death.

I still vividly remember
the day my father passed away.

Didn't you visit...

the factory in Seopyung
the day he passed away?

It'd throw you off,

so you'd suddenly appear out of sorts.

What are you talking about
all of a sudden?

I was told there was something
suspicious about your alibi.

My alibi?

What did you hear that
you're asking such a question?

Do you have proof
that I was there that day?

No, I don't.

But I don't believe your evidence...

that you weren't there that day.

Then you'd do things
that are out of your character,

such as visiting your accomplice
you haven't even called in years.

I don't know
why I have to explain myself now,

but will you believe me
if I bring a witness you can trust?

Is there such a witness?

Ms. Kim.

You visited my office
around the time of the accident,

saying you had a message for me.

Yes, I did.

No, like a double agent.

I was also close
to Chairman Han Young Sik.

Seung Wook, can you leave?

This is the anniversary
of Sung Chan's passing.

Must you be this disrespectful
to my father on a day like this?

Darn it. I'm tired.

I wanted to ask you about it
at least once...

to see...

how you remember the incident.

Sorry I interrupted you.

What are you up to these days?

Just working, as usual.

"As usual?"

You're a prosecutor.
If you're working as usual,

you should be stuck in your office
going through all the documents.

Are you a mole?
Why are you digging and snooping around?

I'm not following, sir.

Look at you.

You little...

What is this?

Isn't this you?

I'm not sure.

You little...
What are you playing at here?

Take a good look.

Ms. Cho!

- Long time no see.
- My gosh.

Why did you do it?
Did Cho Yeon Ju put you up to it?

I would never accept such a request.

What?

Kiddo, you're just a junior prosecutor.

Do you think this organization is a joke?

Do you think you can look down
on the chief prosecutor?

I hear your family is pretty well-off.

I suppose
that's why you can be this gutsy.

But do you think...

any company in this country
can survive a tax investigation?

Do you want your family and relatives...

to be turned upside down?

If you behave recklessly,

you might destroy your entire family.

Stop here.

Answer me.

Why you little...

Hey. Don't you know who I am?

I am the Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.

Everything I bury remains buried.

Understood?

Snoop around all you want.

Do you think things will go your way?

That's not why we're doing this.

We're okay if they don't.

What?

So you're going to keep playing this game?

Answer this.

When you summoned Chairman Kang Mi Na,

who was the person that came?

Kang Mi Na...

or Cho Yeon Ju?

What is Cho Yeon Ju up to now?

Did you think
I wouldn't put a tail on her?

Why did Seung Wook suddenly show up
and talk nonsense?

No idea.

How could he ruin our party like this?

Hey.

A memorial service for my son
is not a party.

How can you be so insensitive?

We must have left Seung Wook
alone too long.

He'll be taken care of
along with Mi Na soon.

Seung Wook and Mi Na...

No, the woman who pretends
to be Mi Na fooled everyone.

What are you talking about?

I can't tell you right now,

but you'll see
after the shareholders' meeting.

I knew we probably couldn't stay
until the service ended...

because of the meeting.

Let's get going.

Look at you.
To think you're the only son I have left.

My goodness.

Until when did you drink last night?

You haven't done this in a while.
What's with you?

An irresponsible life suits me better,
don't you think?

What's going on?

Are you high?

If I do use drugs,
it's not because I want to.

It's because my sister wants me to.

What are you talking about?

Hey, you should sober up.

Thanks to your wife,
you got the opportunity of a lifetime.

In front of your father...

An opportunity?

Didn't you hear what Sung Hye said?

Everything is over.

Is this about the rumor about Mi Na?

That rumor saying
Chairman Kang Mi Na is fake.

Are you saying it's true?

Why is everyone talking nonsense today?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Mi Na unlocked her tablet
with her fingerprint and everything.

So I thought it was a groundless rumor.

I did think something was off.

You mentioned that she had
a thorough health check-up...

after the accident...

and her ovaries were
extremely healthy, right?

What about it?

She once told me she was infertile.

What?

If that rumor is true...

Who have I been telling
all those secrets to?

And who have I been
buttering up all this time?

Hey!

Who cares?

A woman I don't even know...

twisted my arm, insulted me,

and walked all over me!

Unbelievable.

What is going on?

In addition to the stock transfer,

I have another important
announcement to make today.

There have been
many horrible rumors going around...

about Chairman Kang Mi Na
of Yumin Group lately.

More than anything,

people have been saying
that the chairman is fake.

Faced with this crisis,

after much thought,

we've decided to tackle
the situation head-on.

May I say something?

Is it really necessary to bring up
those groundless rumors here?

If they're not true,

wouldn't it be best
if you proved that to everyone?

Kang Jang Soo,
the former chairman of Yumin Group,

and Kang Mi Na,
the current chairman of Yumin Group.

Their paternity test results just arrived.

How did you carry out the test?

My father's body
hasn't been retrieved yet.

You're right.

But the vacation home
that my brother often visited...

still remains intact.

We were too busy to clean up the place,

but it was a good thing after all.

I collected his razor and toothbrush
from there.

As for Chairman Kang Mi Na,
for some reason,

she seemed to be away all the time.

So her samples were collected...

through a member of Hanju Group,

who she currently lives with.

Mr. No, what do I do?

Should I run away?

That would look strange.

Apparently, the test revealed...

an extremely important fact
that couldn't be overlooked.

So I'd like to ask Chairman Kang
for an explanation here...

and hold her responsible.

To prevent any suspicion
of tampering with the results,

I'll open the envelope here.

[STR Analysis and Paternity Test Results]

I know you're all busy.
I'll go straight to the important part.

"An analysis of 15 DNA markers..."

"of Kang Jang Soo
and Kang Mi Na reveals..."

"that they share 14 out of 15 alleles..."

Well...

Give me a second.

What?

What are you waiting for? Read on.

Okay.

"Based on the amount of DNA
shared between the two,"

"the probability of paternity..."

"is 99.9999 percent."

[DNA Analysis Results]

[Match]

[99.9999%]

[Yumin Electronics
General Meeting of Shareholders]

What did you just say?

I mean...

Why?

I'm Chairman Kang Jang Soo's
biological child?

[Epilogue]

Five...

Eight?

Eight. I see eight.

Open your eyes slowly.

I think I see someone.

Grandma?

Grandma.

Don't go, Grandma.

Don't go.

If I had stopped my grandmother
from going that day,

she'd still be alive today.

It really was purely because of me.

Hold on.

I think she has something to say.

Should we wait?

Grandma.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Yeon Ju, is that you?

Grandma.

Grandma, don't go. If you go now,
something bad will happen.

I have to.
Your father is beside himself right now.

Don't go. If you go now, you'll die.

I still have to.

Even if you try to stop me, I must go.

I'll be right back. See you.

No, don't go.

You'll die because of me.

How can I possibly die because of you?

You got your temper from me.

Even if you try to stop me,
do you think I'll listen?

I have to go and stop my son
from getting in trouble.

You can't.

If you go now,
I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.

You'll die because of me,

and I'll blame and resent myself
for the rest of my life.

Will you still go?

My goodness. I knew you'd be like this.

If you were someone great,

like those gold medalists on TV,

you'd listen to me and do as I say.

But you're just my granddaughter.
That's why you won't listen.

Yeon Ju.

Nothing in the world happens...

purely because of other people.

Everything happens because of you.

The same goes for me and your father.

Do you understand?

A fire breaks out
because someone starts it.

A car accident happens
because someone drives poorly.

Whether you live a good life
or a bad life depends on you.

You've done enough.

From now on, live for yourself.

I do have a good life.

I became a prosecutor.

And the factory fire...

wasn't started by Father.

You've made it, my sweetie.

See? I told you.

Your father may lose his temper
and hit someone once in a while,

but he would never start a fire.

Grandma. I'll find out...

who did that to you.

I'll also prove my father's innocence.

So don't worry and get going now.

Okay.

I will.

Put these on.

Grandma!

[One the Woman]

Hanju Group provided my DNA samples
without my consent.

It's a terrible shame.

I don't want you to be my enemy.

Father got rid of Sung Hye,
and I survived.

Is that because of me?
It's because of that woman.

Let me be a part of the game
that you started.

Come to your senses now.

What you're attacking is my company.

I've worked hard for nothing.

I begged for something that was
never going to be mine.

Are you sure you've been looking after me?

You were only going to use me.

I'll have Chairman Han Young Sik arrested.

Please go after Prosecutor Cho.
