Standing in front of Ro Sa with his mic in hand, Dal Po thinks about his father and mother and how they died. We return to the flashback. Jae Myung answers that he doesn’t want Ha Myung to ask the questions they want to ask but the questions that the public wants to ask- Ha Myung is a reporter and he should ask the questions the publics wants to, like a proper reporter, a reporter different from Cha Ok


Back in the present, we hear how Dal Po wants to ask, “Why did you do that to my father?” Instead, he asks Ro Sa, “Do you think your son is innocent?” Ro Sa breaks her silence and quickly answers, “Yes, my son is innocent!” Dal Po wants to ask, “Why did you to that to my family?” but instead he asks, “What did you think as you saw reporters report on your innocent son?” Ro Sa has realizes her mistake from before and once again starts to repeat she is sorry for causing trouble, but her emotions get the better of her. She replies, “I think they were wrong to do so.”

Dal Po wants to ask, “Then why did you not repent even after doing those horrible things?” He asks instead, “Then do you think the wrong should be corrected?” Ro Sa replies, “Yes, of course.” Her lawyer tells her to just say she is sorry for causing the public to worry, but Ro Sa loses it, screaming she doesn’t know what worry she caused. Flashes of the cameras start to go off even more rapidly as they know that Ro Sa has broken now.


Dal Po says to Ro Sa, breaking the dam, “It seems you feel like you’ve been wronged. Please correct it then.” So Ro Sa starts to correct the reporters, saying her son is innocent and that he can even live properly without laws. Dal Po asks, “Then why did he turn himself in, if he did nothing wrong?” Ro Sa repeats that her son is innocent.

In Ha asks Ro Sa what her son meant when he said he will bear the responsibility with his mother. Dal Po adds, “Why would he say that if he is innocent?” The other reporters start to badger Ro Sa, asking if her son and Ro Sa conspired together. Ro Sa screams her son is innocent and because he is such a good kid, he is trying to go to prison in his mother’s stead. To the reporters she screams, “What do you know about my son for you to blabbering on like that about him?!” The reporters continue to question her, now armed with her confession basically, and Ro Sa stands in shock and anger at what she just did and what the reporters did to her. She glares at Dal Po as she is pushed into the police station by her employees.

Dal Po and In Ha reflect that this story is definitely making the top news and that this is what Beom Jo wanted to do with his false confession. In Ha asks Dal Po why he didn’t ask his questions and Dal Po asks rhetorically, “Yeah, why did I do that?” He looks over at Cha Ok and nods. Cha Ok gives a small smile and says to herself, “He sure has the ability to make someone feel ashamed.” With their moment of understanding, Cha Ok leaves.

In Ha says to Dal Po that she is sure Beom Jo regrets giving her the text messages. If it wasn’t for those messages, his mom would have remained a good person to him. In Ha feels like she is a bad person to Beom Jo. Dal Po reassures her that Beom Jo would have eventually found out about his mom, since the truth can’t be hidden.

Dal Po calls Chan Soo to ask him to withdraw the lawsuit against Cha Ok. Chan Soo asks why, did he receive an apology? Dal Po replies yes, he did.

In the newsroom, Yoo Rae is talking about her news item with that male colleague of hers. Gyo Dong walks past them saying he is looking forward to it. Now Yoo Rae is sure he likes her and she starts acting like she did with Dal Po before, flinging her hair with confidence.


At the news item meeting, Dal Po suggests a news item that Gyo Dong likes. Yoo Rae suggests a fashion analysis of what Ro Sa wore to the police station, confident that it is a good news story and that Gyo Dong will like it. But Gyo Dong hates it and warns her to not cloud up the real story here. There are a lot of other important things to investigate and report.

After the meeting is over, that guy rookie (I will never learn his name now) apologetically says to Yoo Rae that he was wrong about Gyo Dong liking her. Yoo Rae screams she knows and she asks Hyun Gyu for his headband- she will become a hardass ddangji like him.

On the YGN news, Dal Po reports that Ro Sa confessed to trying to threaten the reporters but not kill them. Even MSC is doing something. They are gathering signatures from their own employees to petition for the removal of shareholder’s involvement with the news. There is also news that Ro Sa is giving up her stocks to MSC and that the construction for Beom Jo Group’s new mall is on hold.

Beom Jo is let go and he and Dal Po finally meet. Dal Po is relieved and happy to see him. Beom Jo is out without any charges. Beom Jo says he was disappointed that Dal Po didn’t let his anger out when he gave him the chance and stage to do so. Dal Po assures him that he did. Dal Po thanks Beom Jo and offers to return the favor.

At that moment In Ha comes running down the hallway so Beom Jo asks for 30 minutes with In Ha. Dal Po first jealously refuses but Beom Jo explains he wants to say his final goodbye.

Beom Jo brings In Ha to the convenience store she used to work part-time before. He tells her he has 30 seconds he regrets here. He wasn’t able to give her her birthday present that day when her mom came to the convenience store to offer her a position at MSC. Beom Jo give her present now, saying to her now what he wanted to say then- “Happy birthday, Choi In Ha. I wanted to see you, Choi In Ha. I am glad we met, Choi In Ha.”

In Ha asks if he still thinks that it is fortunate that they met and he replies of course. In Ha thanks him. Before he leaves and without Dal Po knowing, he gives her a tight hug.

Cha Ok receives the notice that Chan Soo is dropping his lawsuit. Gong Joo thinks things are going back to normal for Cha Ok, especially with Yeon Doo Young about to be fired, but Cha Ok gives him her resignation letter to deliver to the department head. She says she is tired but she would like Gong Joo to keep at it. She gives him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.



Beom Jo visits his mom in prison. Ro Sa is sad that that her son slept on the bare floor while he in the holding cell. He assures her that he was okay. Ro Sa also asures him that she will be out soon, with either a fine, community service sentence, or a suspended sentence. Beom Jo is saddened by his unchanged mother. Ro Sa says Beom Jo should wait for her and study business management. Beom Jo says he wants to do something else.

Cha Ok is about to leave the MSC building when Yeon Doo Young comes running to her. He wants to know how much she told the police. He has been delivered a summons. Cha Ok tells him that she revealed everything, but ah, except one- the one where he opened a borrowed-name bank account to receive money from Ro Sa. She asks Doo Young for the name of the prosecutor in charge of his case so she can go tell him now. And I laugh and laugh in glee. Love Cha Ok here.


Going down the elevator with a peaceful look on her face, she remembers Dal Po’s questions after he helped her with the bus company case. He had said to her, “I only did what I needed to do as a reporter. Something you should have done 13 years ago.” In the present, Cha Ok agrees. Dal Had asked her, “Why don’t people believe you even when you say the right thing?” In the present, Cha Ok answers, “Because I am a liar.” Dal Po had asked her, “Why don’t you believe in yourself?” Cha Ok answers, “Because I lied too much.” Dal Po had asked, “Are you really a journalist?” Cha Ok answers now, “No.”

At home, Dal Po asks, trying to act nonchalantly, where In Ha and Beom Jo went. He measured 42 minutes, not 30. In Ha can’t believe he was counting. Dal Po mumbles that he is a stickler for time.



In Ha receives the pictures from Chan Soo’s housewarming party. Dal Po and In Ha look through them but when they come upon the photo of themselves with the baby, looking like a happy family, they become shy and awkward. Dal Pyung sees them like this and he calls them into In Ha’s room to talk. Dal Po and In Ha try to explain that the photo is nothing, but that is not what Dal Pyung wants to talk about.

Dal Pyung reveals what he suggested to Grandpa about Dal Po and In Ha being together and how he reacted. Dal Pyung says Grandpa thinks family is family no matter what happens, with relationships that can’t be broken. But a romantic relationship between a man and woman is not like that. Grandpa is scared of that and that Dal Po won’t be able to be family anymore if something goes wrong between Dal Po and In Ha.

In Ha wants to tell Grandpa about them but Dal Pyung is worried about his health. He tells her to just lie and just keep living as uncle and aunt- “It’s okay to tell that kind of lie.” Dal Po remembers back to when he said something similar when he was trying to convince Dal Pyung and young In Ha that he should keep lying to grandpa about being his son. So before In Ha can protest, Dal Po stops her, saying they will think it over.

Later at night in his room, Dal Po thinks about what he said about family to Dal Pyung, that this family is first for him and that he will be able to get over In Ha. Outside his door, In Ha can’t bring herself to go in. So when Dal Po comes out, wanting to say something to her, In Ha runs away.
