A Trap Called Desire (욕망의 덫)

Gosh. Ma'am!

Ma'am, are you okay?

Ma'am, are you okay?

I'll call 911.

Gosh, I'm okay. There's no need for 911.

- Oh, my. - Are you sure you're okay?

Here, let me help you get up.

I'll walk you home.

Oh, dear.

It really won't light today.

Hey, Sang Beom. Long time no see. Have you been well?

Right.

Someone came by looking for me?

A young woman?

Goodness.

Oh, dear. Thank you.

You still look so pale.

Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?

The heat got to me, and I felt dizzy for a second.

I'll be fine once I get some rest at home.

It's a little warm in here. Do you have any ice in the freezer?

I do, but...

Stay right there.

That feels nice and cool. I feel like I can breathe again.

Let me do that. I can hold it myself.

Just try and relax.

I just feel like I'm imposing on you.

- It's okay. - Goodness.

That feels much better.

- Well, I should get going. - Sure.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Goodness. Jung Tae, is that you?

Yes, it's Mom.

I'm doing fine, of course.

Mom.

Did anyone come by the house looking for me?

Looking for you?

No. Why do you ask?

Were there any suspicious people around?

Wait. Is something wrong?

Why do you keep asking that?

Oh, yes. Take care now.

Is someone at the house?

Oh, just a young woman who helped me.

I was grateful, so I gave her a glass of juice.

A young woman?

How old is she?

What on earth is going on?

It's nothing. You don't need to know.

Mom.

From now on, don't open the door for anyone. Got it?

Actually, on second thought...

Right.

I see.

Is that really necessary?

All right, I hear you.

Honestly.

You think Lee Jung Tae is on to something?

Yes.

We can't let him go deeper into hiding.

His mom said he was in Dal-something,

and I'm pretty sure she meant Da Lat.

Da Lat?

Yes.

I'll keep tabs on Lee Jung Tae's mother,

so check out the local Korean community there.

Sure thing.

By the way, Eun Seol, I'm impressed.

Look what you managed to figure out.

It was nothing. I haven't even really started yet.

Well, they do say a good start is half the battle.

- Hello? - Tell me your account number.

Eun Guk?

Just tell me your account number.

Why do you need my account number?

Do you really have to ask?

I'm sending you the money for Mom's memorial niche,

so give me the account number already.

Seriously. Just tell me.

The account is likely frozen due to inactivity.

If you want to give it, do it in person.

I'm heading home right now.

Was that your brother?

Yes.

Does he still believe you're guilty?

I should get going.

Sure.

Come on in.

What brings you here?

If you wanted to see me, you should've called.

I could've met you somewhere.

I'm here to see Eun Guk.

Eun Guk?

Why did you come to see Eun Guk?

You know you won't hear anything nice.

I told her to come.

Here. Take it.

What's that?

Wait.

Is it the payment for your mom's memorial niche?

What are you waiting for? Take it.

Why are you giving her that? We need every penny we have.

Grandma, give it here.

If she wants to ease her guilt, let her.

Grandma!

He's right, Mom.

We should be giving this to Eun Seol.

She has no money and shouldn't have to pay.

Take it, Eun Seol.

Let's talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

Do you really think I did it?

Do you think I killed Mom?

It wasn't me, Eun Guk.

It really wasn't me.

How could I do that?

How could I do something like that?

The law found you guilty.

And I'm telling you it wasn't me!

Why is it so hard for you to believe me?

Then what should I do?

If I killed myself right here in front of you,

would you believe me then?

It really wasn't me, Eun Guk.

Please, just believe me this once.

While I'm asking nicely, just take it and leave.

Eun Guk, seriously!

How can you do this to me?

Even if the whole world blames me,

you of all people should believe me.

No matter what anyone else says, at least you should believe me.

So if we cancel the new line,

what's the alternative?

We'll relaunch one of our hit products.

If we re-release our hit product

from two years ago in multiple colours,

we stand a good chance of success.

However,

the price will stay the same.

I agree with the relaunch, but we have to raise the price.

Right now, restoring trust matters more than profit,

so we should keep the price as is.

A company's primary purpose is to generate profit.

I believe we need to think long-term at this point.

It's also a time to make up for our losses.

We just have to sell a lot of them. More than anyone expects.

There's no guarantee we'll sell more than expected.

All right.

Let's all calm down.

Are you sure about this?

I'm asking if you can take responsibility.

Yes, sir.

If this project fails,

I'll take full responsibility and resign.

Why is that necessary?

What does everyone else think?

I'm inclined to trust him on this.

I agree.

Instead of focusing on immediate profits,

I think we should look at the long term.

Same here.

I agree, too.

Excellent. In that case,

take full responsibility and run with it.

Yes, sir.

I'll be sure to make this project a success.

Dad, isn't Seok Jin impressive?

What are you trying to get at this time?

If he pulls off this project, let's transfer him to HQ.

- What? - We can't let talent like him

waste away at a branch office.

Let's bring him to HQ and...

There aren't any open positions.

We can just create one for him.

If you're just going to talk nonsense,

get back to work.

But Dad...

All right.

Welcome home, Uncle.

Have you had dinner? If not, go wash up and come eat.

Enjoy your food, Teun Teun.

Is Uncle mad at you, Mom?

Why?

- Just eat your food, Teun Teun. - Okay.

How long are you going to keep this up?

I need to change. Get out.

What did I do that was so wrong?

Go ask anyone else. See if they think I was harsh.

I just thought

you of all people wouldn't be so prejudiced.

As if I'm some great person.

It's not because you're so great.

It's because you've suffered from prejudice, too.

While raising Teun Teun on your own,

you were hurt by how people judged you.

Am I wrong?

I'm disappointed I had to remind you of that.

You're late. Have you been drinking?

I had a drink with Assemblyman Oh.

Mi Ran, can you make some honey tea?
