Queenmaker (2023) s01e10 Episode Script

FOR THE 39TH SEOUL CITY
MAYORAL BY-ELECTION D-5
Candidate Baek is alleged to have
an illegitimate child.
His partner in this affair
is reported to be his closest aide, G.
G, currently pregnant, was a member
of the Corporate Strategy Team at Eunsung.
Even more shockingly, she was once
the personal secretary of Baek's wife,
adding fire to the controversy.
Baek has been known
as a loving father and perfect husband,
receiving overwhelming support
from female voters.
People are now turning their backs
on Candidate Baek in disappointment.
Have you all lost it?
The election is right around the corner,
and you let this scandal surface?
Why haven't you kept the press in check?
We're flustered as well.
Until yesterday, they printed
what we told them to.
But they suddenly
turned on Candidate Baek.
Who released this story first?
Kim Cho-rong from IBC's City News team.
I think their director is protecting her.
It seems Oh Kyung-sook
made a deal with him--
God damn it!
Stop this story from spreading
at all costs.
Take legal action against everyone
from Kim Cho-rong to the director of IBC!
Deny the rumors
using all of Eunsung's news outlets.
Oh Kyung-sook's son's case and the affair.
Cover both up by day's end, at all costs!
They'll never be able to do that.
Because the press can't help
but side with whoever's winning.
I do love winning.
Ms. Hwang, what should we do next?
From now on, let's shape this election
as a showdown…
between the heartbroken mother,
Oh Kyung-sook,
and the despicable cheater, Baek Jae-min?
The war of narratives begins.
Oh Kyung-sook!
-Hello.
-Oh Kyung-sook!
SEOUL MAYORAL CANDIDATE OH KYUNG-SOOK
The Good Parents Association
wholeheartedly supports Candidate Oh…
I, Yook Seung-cheol, ask
that you all support Oh Kyung-sook
with the same motherly love
that you embraced me with!
-Oh Kyung-sook!
-Oh Kyung-sook!
Triple the campaigners and rent
ten more campaign cars for each district.
Fill all the empty walls in Seoul
with posters of Oh Kyung-sook.
We need to dominate public opinion.
"The Rhino has taken over this city
and is already the mayor of Seoul."
Make the ten million citizens of Seoul
believe that.
I am candidate number two, Oh Kyung-sook!
Please cast your precious vote
for candidate number two!
Baek has been caught in an affair
and even has an illegitimate child!
Yet, he shamelessly accused
Oh's innocent son of being a sex offender!
I ask, what kind of hypocrisy is this?
Candidate Baek Jae-min plunged
this election into chaos and corruption!
If you have any shame, withdraw!
-Withdraw!
-Withdraw!
CHANGE IN SEOUL MAYORAL CANDIDATE
APPROVAL RATING
Don't lose your nerve.
-The game isn't over yet.
-Game?
Is this a game to you?
Does it look like I'm doing this
just for the hell of it?
If you were desperate to win,
you should've been careful.
Guk is pregnant with your child--
And how
did I not know about it?
That's what I want to ask you.
You said you'd get me elected.
Then you should've known
every single thing about me!
You let Hwang Do-hee
go on a rampage like this,
so this is your fault.
Don't you ever order me around again.
I'll run in the election my way
and get rid of Guk Ji-yeon myself.
Get rid of her?
How?
Put her six feet under?
The press, the public, and everyone
in politics have their eyes on her.
If she suddenly disappears,
everyone will suspect you.
From Han I-seul to Guk Ji-yeon.
Are you going to say
you've gotten rid of all your mistresses?
Are you going to admit to it all?
The biggest ticking bomb
in this election is Guk Ji-yeon.
Rein in your emotions
and get her on your side.
Your fate depends on
the stance she takes.
Candidate Baek is facing the worst crisis
due to rumors about his affair
and an illegitimate child.
Candidate Baek's campaign is actively
fighting these allegations,
saying they will take legal action against
those who initially spread the rumors.
It seems his supporters' anger
and disappointment will not abate
until the truth regarding this scandal
is revealed.
You won't believe me,
but I never planned to get pregnant
or do anything--
How did you hold it together?
You must have been so stressed by it
as well as the campaign work.
Are you feeling all right?
Candidate Baek.
Yes.
As Seoul's mayoral candidate,
this election means the world to me.
But
you're just as important to me.
I couldn't have made it this far
without you.
So you're telling me
to keep making sacrifices for you.
Is that it?
You want me to lay low
like I don't exist in this world
until the election is over?
No.
Don't go into hiding.
Come stand beside me,
and let's get through this together.
From now on, we have to keep it together.
If we lose this election,
Chairwoman Son won't leave us unscathed.
Not you, me…
or our unborn child.
It's true that we used each other
for our own survival,
but you can't say
we have no feelings for each other.
Don't you agree?
So let's get through this
together to the end.
As for today,
don't worry and get some rest.
The security team will help you
get to work from tomorrow, so relax.
One more thing.
I saw these.
Aren't they cute?
Don't worry too much.
-Oh Kyung-sook!
-Oh Kyung-sook!
Candidate number two, Oh Kyung-sook!
Number two!
How much is this? 5,000 won?
Give her 5,000 won.
Sure. Here's 5,000 won.
-No.
-You have to take it.
Dear citizens.
We've been fooled so many times
by the promises
of real estate policies and tax reforms
that always pour out
during election campaigns, right?
Yes!
And all those campaign promises
and policies that divide us into sides,
the ruling party or the opposition,
liberal or conservative, and lately,
even women or men, employer or employee,
Gangnam or Gangbuk.
Aren't you tired of it all?
I, Oh Kyung-sook, promise to build a Seoul
of harmony and coexistence!
You can put your faith in me!
I will make it happen!
Candidate Oh seems to be moving up.
Since her son's name was cleared,
Candidate Oh has been expanding
her scope of campaign,
actively promoting her campaign in person
and communicating with citizens.
Oh Kyung-sook, the Rhino, has transformed
from an activist for minorities
to a politician that leads the masses.
She is rising to the top,
gaining the favor of people
disappointed by Candidate Baek.
Are you pregnant
with Candidate Baek's child?
-Do you admit to the affair?
-Is the rumor true?
Can we have a comment?
When did this affair
with Candidate Baek start?
You evil bitch!
How dare you ruin things
for Candidate Baek?
How dare you seduce him!
Come here, you bitch!
I'm going to kill you.
Please stop!
Please calm down!
-Stop this!
-Move aside!
Are you all right? Let's go.
You owe us an explanation.
From now on, we have to keep it together.
If we lose this election,
Chairwoman Son won't leave us unscathed.
Not you, me,
or our unborn child.
I'll do it.
The press conference.
KOREAN REPUBLICAN PARTY CANDIDATE
BAEK JAE-MIN'S URGENT PRESS CONFERENCE
They're here.
They're coming.
First,
I'd like to sincerely apologize
to all the citizens
that I've caused discomfort to…
due to the recent scandal.
But I promise you the rumors
about my affair and the illegitimate child
are completely untrue.
Ms. Guk was victimized
by filthy political machinations
and smear campaigns,
simply because she's a woman
and my aide.
I feel deeply sorry for her.
From now on,
you're no longer a home-wrecker.
You're a victim of fake news.
Read exactly what I prepared for you
word for word.
We'll put an end to this messy scandal
with this press conference.
I am Guk Ji-yeon,
Candidate Baek's aide.
I swear before you all
that I have never harbored
romantic feelings for Candidate Baek
or had an inappropriate relationship
with Candidate Baek.
Above all else,
I'm in love with someone else.
I am
Guk Ji-yeon's boyfriend,
Cha Jin-hyeok.
I work for a subsidiary of Eunsung Group,
and we've been dating
for the past two years.
We're planning to get married this fall…
and my girlfriend is currently
pregnant with my child.
My name is Guk Ji-yeon.
I am not "Mistress G."
I am just an ordinary woman…
who wants to start a family
with the man I love--
-Look at this.
-What is it?
Was it just uploaded?
-Whoa. Unbelievable!
-It's Baek Jae-min, isn't it?
What in the world?
BAEK, DESPITE HAVING DENIED THE RUMORS,
SPOTTED AT AIDE G'S HOUSE AFTER TRYS
Ms. Guk Ji-yeon!
Have you seen the article
that was just released online?
Ms. Guk.
Did you really spend time alone at home
with Candidate Baek at such a late hour?
No.
The campaign staff was there with me.
We had an urgent meeting regarding
a canvass for the next day,
and Mr. Baek's final appointment
happened to be near my house, so--
So, he visited your home secretly,
alone without his driver?
-That's--
-The photos showed
Candidate Baek entering the entry code
to your apartment himself.
Do you share private information with him?
What do you think, Mr. Cha?
This is a case of horrific sexist abuse!
They went and installed a camera
in front of her house so they could
fabricate this so-called affair.
Would this have happened
if Ms. Guk were a man?
I don't think so.
Then why did you visit the home
of a female aide who's soon to be married
-like it was your own apartment?
-That day--
Isn't that the sexual abuse
you're speaking of?
Let me ask you again, Ms. Guk.
Did you spend time alone
with Candidate Baek at home that night?
This is clearly political slander!
-Ms. Guk!
-It's political terrorism!
Ji-yeon!
Wake up, Ji-yeon!
This is political slander!
Baek's aide, Ms. Guk Ji-yeon,
who has denied all allegations
of an extramarital affair
with Candidate Baek, collapsed
during a live press conference.
Ms. Hwang.
We seem to have really gotten to them
with this attack.
It looked like Guk Ji-yeon
was extremely startled,
fainting like that
at such a crucial moment.
She must've been stunned.
Because she couldn't have had any idea
there'd be photos of their rendezvous.
But aren't we backing her
too far into a corner?
She's pregnant, after all.
We're not backing her into a corner.
We're protecting her publicly.
Because now
that the whole country knows about her,
the reporters will be keeping tabs
on her every move.
Yeah. Well, then,
this means that she'll be safe,
at least until the election is over.
So save the pointless sympathy,
and keep the attacks going.
Yes, ma'am.
"Candidate Baek frequents
his aide's home like it's a hotel."
"The epitome of sexual exploitation
using power imbalance."
"Is Candidate Baek Jae-min really fit
to be mayor?"
"A man who wants to get married
and a man who wants to get elected."
"Which of the two is the real father?"
"Only Aide G knows the truth."
Get these headlines
delivered to the press,
and start uploading posts online.
THE EPITOME OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
USING POWER IMBALANCE
"The epitome of sexual exploitation."
THE EPITOME OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
USING POWER IMBALANCE
IS CANDIDATE BAEK JAE-MIN
REALLY FIT TO BE MAYOR?
You should relax.
You must be tired after the day you had.
I'm sorry.
I tried to keep it together
at the press conference.
I don't mean to,
but I keep getting in your way.
Hwang Do-hee's getting in the way.
Not you.
You didn't know how far she'd take things.
If you had,
you would have told me.
Do-hee came by my place once.
Really?
About what?
She asked about I-seul.
She already knew that
all of Eunsung headquarter's CCTVs
had been replaced
the day after I-seul fell.
So she's been working hard,
digging up dirt on me.
You knew, but you didn't tell me about it?
Why?
I wasn't sure…
that I wouldn't end up like I-seul.
I-seul was my mistake,
from start to finish,
but with you, it was my choice.
You have to know that
even if everyone else--
I do.
You never planned
or intended for I-seul
to end up like that.
I only came this far with you
because I believe that about you.
You said you chose me, right?
I did.
And all choices come
with responsibilities.
If you say you'll guarantee my safety…
I will forget everything that happened
on the day that I-seul died.
Ji-yeon.
Even if you don't promise anything…
I'm going to protect you.
Get some rest.
I'll drop by again tomorrow.
I went over her call history,
search history, and her email.
Did anything stand out?
We found this in her recent call history.
Yes, hello.
I took the prenatal DNA test
the other day.
When will I get the results?
That Guk Ji-yeon is quite clever.
Knowing she may get cornered
like she did today,
she dug herself an escape route.
Looks like she had a prenatal DNA test.
Let me know when the results are in.
As quickly as possible.
Guk Ji-yeon…
We should let her go now.
To heaven.
Life must be hell for her right now.
Desperately using her unborn baby
for her survival,
she cannot live with that.
It's too dangerous.
Her face is known
from the press conference.
If we keep her alive,
how will you handle the I-seul incident?
Hwang Do-hee went to Ji-yeon's apartment
to question her about I-seul.
We'll wait for the time
to deal with her quietly.
Instead of doing it quietly,
we should give her a dramatic
and somber farewell publicly.
By making her a martyr.
Instead of a home-wrecking witch,
she'll be a victim who took her own life
because of the false accusations.
Wouldn't that be more honorable for her…
than being denounced as a mistress?
A martyr who dies after exposing
the cruel slander of the political world.
And Hwang Do-hee is the very person
who fabricated this filthy scandal,
framed Ji-yeon as a mistress,
and drove her to death?
And Oh Kyung-sook
let Hwang do the unspeakable
so that she could be elected.
This will absolutely
destroy Oh Kyung-sook
right before the election.
They say the student becomes the master.
Thanks to you, I have learned many things…
about the cutthroat world of politics.
It's good to learn things.
But there are lines
that should never be crossed.
And the moment you cross one,
you lose your humanity forever.
I already crossed that line
the day my father passed away.
We'll christen the martyr
the night after tomorrow.
The two days before the election
are our last chance to come back.
ADULTERER BAEK JAE-MIN
WITHDRAW
Withdraw, you scumbag!
Get lost, you bastard!
Withdraw!
-Baek Jae-min!
-Baek Jae-min!
BAEK JAE-MIN WILL MAKE SEOUL
THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
Beloved citizens of Seoul.
I mustered the courage
to stand before you today
not to prove my innocence
but to make you an offer.
I will share with you
the stakes in Asia's highest skyscraper,
Eunsung Duty-Free Shop.
I promised you, didn't I?
That I'd share Eunsung Group's wealth
with the citizens of Seoul.
I now plan to put forward a policy
that will make my promise come true.
I, Baek Jae-min,
will donate half
of the Eunsung Duty-Free Shop's shares
to the Seoul Metropolitan Government
and distribute them to each and every one
of you, the citizens of Seoul!
-Baek Jae-min!
-Baek Jae-min!
KRP Candidate Baek has announced
an unprecedented campaign pledge.
He's pledged to distribute half the shares
of Eunsung Duty-Free Shop to citizens.
The offer's been met
with great enthusiasm.
How dare you sell off Heaven
without my permission?
I didn't sell it off.
I'm using it as bait.
I'll withdraw it when the election--
Whether you withdraw it or not!
You should have asked for my permission
if you were going to use
the duty-free shop.
Mom. The election is only three days away.
Once he's elected,
I'll manage the duty-free--
Shut your mouth.
You can't even keep your man in check,
and you'll manage what?
Do you know how many people
are involved in this duty-free shop?
From the government to the prosecution
to the National Assembly,
the interests of dozens of people
are at stake here, and what?
Distribute the shares?
Retract the offer immediately.
I can't do that.
From now on, I'll be in charge,
so you can just stay quiet and--
Ma'am.
The tables have turned.
I have to become mayor
to be able to save your little neck
and protect Eunsung Group.
And those two daughters
who sponge off of you
can go on with their lives
and keep their stinking money.
-Baek Jae-min!
-That's why!
You need to show me respect.
I have to become mayor…
for all of you
and your precious company to survive.
So stop racking
those empty brains of yours,
and start helping me!
HWANG DO-HEE
Baek Jae-min has gone totally nuts.
It was a clever move.
Covering up his affair
with the duty-free shop shares.
He isn't completely incompetent.
You'll be fine
in the election, right?
Nothing is for certain.
Because he's played a card
that people can't help but be tempted by.
Do you need more funds?
Thanks, but I'll pass.
We're past the point
where your pocket money can solve things.
This is getting more interesting.
What could you possibly need from me
other than money?
The Corporate Strategy Team has assigned
some staff to you, right?
Position them around Guk Ji-yeon, quietly.
Baek Jae-min can't find out about this,
so use only your most loyal people.
Keep tabs on everything about her,
including her whereabouts, her health,
and who she meets.
And keep me updated every second.
What for?
Does Baek Jae-min want to kill her?
He won't be able to take things that far.
The election is only three days away,
and there are too many eyes on them.
So, you're preserving the evidence?
Baek is on a rampage, to the extent
that he's even using the duty-free shop.
So, no matter what crazy things Baek does,
we can turn the tide
as long as we keep Guk Ji-yeon safe,
even if the worst comes to the worst.
Anything else?
Maintain a poker face.
Don't let your mom find out.
Do-hee will be blamed for everything?
Yes, ma'am.
We'll turn Hwang into an evil witch
who turned an innocent woman
into a home-wrecker
and drove her to suicide.
And Oh Kyung-sook?
The thread must follow the needle.
You can just sit back and watch
how a woman falls to her knees
in elections
for offering up a fellow woman
as a sacrifice.
I know you are angry with Jae-min,
but now is not the time to punish him.
Please put your anger aside
and focus on the election.
-If this election goes wrong--
-Then Jae-min will find out.
Everything.
Even that you are the one
who caused his father's death.
It won't just be Jae-min
who'll be punished
if we don't win this election.
Deal with this quickly
and make no mistakes.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's get started.
Have the test results come in?
No, don't email them to me.
Don't send them by post, either.
I'll come and pick them up right now.
Ma'am, stop. You should be resting.
Oh, I just need to get something
from home.
Right now?
Yes, it will be quick.
Why don't you go after this shot?
It won't take long.
It's time for your shot.
GUK JI-YEON
We're ready.
Buy a used car under Guk Ji-yeon's name.
Book a self-check-in vacation rental
in the Gangwon-do area.
And pack some of her belongings
in a travel bag.
USED CAR
PURCHASE COMPLETE
YOUR ROOM IS RESERVED
It's done.
Any further orders, sir?
Hwang Do-hee visited
Guk Ji-yeon's house once.
Contact the security team,
and get the CCTV footage from that day.
Now,
only the last step remains.
We need a tear-jerking suicide note.
So people will mourn Guk Ji-yeon's death
and despise the two evil witches
who drove the poor woman
to take her own life.
It'll be a dramatic reveal
during the debate
with Oh Kyung-sook tomorrow.
Releasing this during the debate?
Tomorrow is our last chance
for a comeback.
Someone of your talent
can cook up something good
with info like this.
Hwang Do-hee.
Why do you keep putting yourself
in danger?
Is it not enough
that your father lost his life?
Of course it's enough.
You know better than anyone
how much I loved my father.
And that's why I'm doing this.
What?
Joong-seok.
In over a decade
of working under Eunsung's owners…
I was never once honest with my father.
"I have a good job at a big company.
That's why I get paid a lot."
I always lied to him like that.
But now, I feel so relieved.
I don't have to hide anything
from my father.
Do-hee.
Later,
after all this is over,
I'd like you to go see Dad
and tell him
that he can be proud of his daughter.
Do-hee. I think Baek Jae-min
will emphasize the duty-free shop shares
to no end tomorrow.
We'll stop him. With this.
EUNSUNG DUTY-FREE SHOP PERMIT LOBBY LIS
What's this list?
It's not just any list. It's a memorandum.
A list of people
who have received bribes from Son
in the process of issuing the permit
for Eunsung Duty-Free Shop.
Former and current ministers of MOLIT,
prosecutors,
Seoul City officials,
and even safety inspectors.
I delivered the money myself
under Chairwoman Son's orders.
You did it yourself?
It is a highly classified document
that was never supposed to be leaked.
Even her daughters don't know about it.
In other words…
this duty-free shop has been
full of problems right from the start.
From choosing the plot of land
to construction and safety inspections,
Eunsung bribed all those people
to keep the problems under wraps.
So,
why did you keep this silver bullet
hidden all this time?
Because they'd just cover it up
if we aren't fully prepared.
Those who accepted the bribes
will vehemently deny everything,
and Eunsung Group
will use its connections in the Blue House
and the prosecution to stop us.
What use would this memorandum be, then?
So?
So I've waited…
for someone to blow the whistle
on this unstoppable chaos
and reveal the truth
in all its clarity.
And that's me, Oh Kyung-sook?
I'm 200% certain.
Gosh.
Bury it.
Just bury it.
If we expose this,
Son Young-sim will retaliate,
and we don't know what she'll do to you.
How am I supposed to reveal that
when the consequences are obvious?
-Oh Kyung-sook.
-Fine!
I said I'd do it your way
so we could win the election, but…
that doesn't mean
I'll let you sacrifice yourself
for my victory.
-I can't let you take the fall alone--
-Then you should win!
You can win the election
and protect me with your power, right?
Do-hee!
Tell me.
You won't abandon a woman
who bet her life on you, will you?
The duty-free shop
is the final card
Baek Jae-min has up his sleeve.
If we take that away…
you'll be the real queen of this election.
With two days to go until the election,
the final debate
will be aired live tonight.
Candidate Baek was caught up in a scandal
that could've ensured his defeat,
but he managed to consolidate
his supporters
with his duty-free shop campaign pledge.
And we also have Candidate Oh, the Rhino,
who has dramatically turned the tables,
time and time again.
Can she turn the tables
in the debate against Baek
and make a miracle happen?
Now, it's time
to start the last rites for our martyr.
You want me…
to take Guk Ji-yeon home
from the hospital?
You called me over here to escort
your pregnant mistress home?
Yes.
How far…
are you going to take things?
Was defying Mom not enough?
Do you have any idea how much humiliation
you've put me through?
Pull yourself together!
For God's sake…
Chae-ryoung.
I'm doing you a favor right now.
All right?
What?
Do you think your mom
would give you her approval
if I told her that you were useless to me…
in this election?
You should be using me
for your survival too.
I know you've gone through
worse than me
living with your horrible family.
Do you want to give up now?
You need to survive to the end.
Go there
and hug her like this.
This will be the last farewell
she receives
in this world of the living.
With that,
you will become the Virgin Mary…
who endured excruciating pain…
and forgave her enemy.
Director Eun is going to visit
Ms. Guk at the hospital.
Chae-ryoung is visiting her?
Yes, ma'am.
She just left Mr. Baek's campaign office
for the hospital.
The protocol team. Here, this way.
-Did you get the cue sheet?
-No.
You didn't get it yet?
Hey, did you get the cue sheet?
The hospital?
-Please read it through.
-Okay, I got it.
-Excuse me.
-Sure.
You should go to Ji-yeon.
Right now?
But the debate is
less than three hours away.
That's why you should go.
If Chae-ryoung shows up there,
people's attention will shift to her.
It's strange that they'd do this
right before the debate.
Hurry.
Yes, ma'am.
Don't get up.
You've grown quite haggard.
This must've been very hard on you.
Why are you here?
To give you this.
THE PROBABILITY OF PATERNITY
OF THE SAMPLE YOU'VE REQUESTED IS 0,01%
What's wrong?
Are you disappointed
because it wasn't what you expected?
How could this happen?
What do you think?
Baek Jae-min fabricated it.
And he will now get rid of you,
along with your unborn child.
And you expect me to believe that?
It's up to you
whether you believe it or not.
But think about it.
Baek Jae-min is so desperate
to become mayor
that he's even trampling
all over my mother.
Do you think he'll keep you alive?
Especially after you took this DNA test
to stab him in the back?
And why are you telling me all this?
Because I need to survive.
I have to make that bastard mayor,
no matter what.
But if you die…
Baek Jae-min's only weakness
would end up disappearing.
I don't want him to be mayor
without having a way to control him.
Are you asking me
to become your secret weapon?
Yes.
Then I'll do whatever it takes
to protect you.
So…
help me out, just this once.
If I make Baek Jae-min mayor
and inherit Eunsung,
I'll raise…
your child as my own.
Just like my mom did.
My father had me out of wedlock too,
but I grew up as a legitimate member
of the family, raised by my mom.
I can do the same…
for your child.
Here.
I've recorded everything
I've said up to now.
Now, you have
my weakness in your hand.
So, please…
help me out, just this once.
What do you want me to do?
-There she is.
-They're here!
Ms. Eun, is the rumor of the affair
between Candidate Baek and Ms. Guk a lie?
-Whose child are you carrying?
-How do you two feel?
Ms. Eun, have you forgiven Ms. Guk?
She's a pregnant woman
who's just been discharged!
If you have any questions, you can ask me,
instead of bothering my employee.
What show is she putting on now?
I know she's desperate
to get her husband elected,
but is Eun Chae-ryoung someone
who can put on a show like that?
Definitely not. Never.
…showed strong trust in her,
referring to her as "my employee."
That's right.
Ms. Guk Ji-yeon
was one of my employees,
who worked for us for five years.
And she was our most capable employee
in the Corporate Strategy Team.
And that was why
I strongly recommended her to my husband.
I only feel terribly sorry
that something like this happened.
It's okay, ma'am.
Ms. Eun, then are you saying
you forgive Ms. Guk Ji-yeon?
Do you acknowledge the affair she had
with your husband?
They say only those in a relationship
know its nature.
However, whatever may or may not have
happened between her and my husband,
I have
absolute trust in Ms. Guk Ji-yeon.
Care to comment, Ms. Guk?
It's time, Ms. Oh. We should get going.
Okay.
We'll talk more on our way there.
-Go ahead with Ms. Oh.
-Yes, ma'am.
Let's go.
This is the latest footage we acquired
from a camera on one of the main roads
surrounding Eunsung HQ.
Baek Jae-min was at the headquarters
the day I-seul died.
This is when I-seul fell to her death.
They're running,
startled by what they saw?
Right.
A person fell from a 40-story building,
and Baek Jae-min just left the scene
without any signs of shock.
As if he knew she was going to fall.
I doubted it, but…
It was Baek Jae-min who killed I-seul.
-Ms. Eun!
-Give us a comment, Ms. Guk.
Do you have any comment for us, Ms. Guk?
-Ms. Eun Chae-ryoung.
-Ms. Eun.
Ms. Guk, how are you feeling right now?
Thanks for hanging in there.
Thank you.
It's over for you now
completely.
Cha-sun.
This is a setup.
Just like they staged I-seul's death
as a suicide…
they'll make it look
like Ji-yeon killed herself.
Chae-ryoung just lied to the press,
knowing full well what's going on.
What?
Dong-joo. Where are you?
I'm on their tail.
Ms. Hwang.
Something's up with these bastards.
There are all these cars following them,
and they're exchanging signals.
You can't lose them.
If you lose that car, there's no telling
what will happen to Guk Ji-yeon.
We'll hold on to your phone for you.
What the hell?
Let go!
Give us some privacy.
Great job, everyone.
There will be a news flash
during the debate.
Do-hee.
Where are you now?
Kyung-sook.
Listen carefully.
I think Baek Jae-min
is trying to kill Guk Ji-yeon.
What's it about?
We'll reveal everything live on air.
From Guk Ji-yeon's
handwritten suicide note
to the evidence proving
that it was suicide.
Then Oh Kyung-sook and Hwang Do-hee
will be buried alive
during the live debate.
When they find Guk's body,
that'll be the end of this election.
Game over.
