Secret Boutique (시크릿 부티크)

Once Oh Tae Seok's eliminated,

I'll be next.

But that's not the battlefield.

Oh Tae Seok.

He's actually just an outer wall.

The real battlefield is deep inside.

Ms. Lee.

You must choose wisely.

Even if I topple the wall,

you will get the money to build it back up.

If the core, the axis inside doesn't fall,

this fight is never over.

One moment of bravado can ruin the rest of your life.

Make the right choice.

Your offer isn't profitable.

I refuse.

What shall I do?

I have the officer who's looking for the girl.

If you let her go,

she'll do anything to find the dead girl.

That will lead to Mayor Do and me.

Kill her.

Get rid of her, Tae Seok. Only then can I survive.

Lee Hyun Ji refused the offer.

If there's another opportunity,

I won't return then.

Get rid of her, Tae Seok. Only then can I survive.

What happened?

What do you mean, Lee Hyun Ji refused?

She won't be persuaded easily.

I don't know what Jenny Jang has done,

but no matter how much we try to coax her with Oh Tae Seok,

if Lee Hyun Ji doesn't cooperate,

both of them will claim innocence and we'll gain nothing.

People are already saying Deo is caught in a family dispute.

I'm even embarrassed to go work these days.

Let's ask Chairwoman Kim for help.

No.

We must not tell Mom.

If we do that, the problem may be solved,

but we won't be able to return from the US.

We'll be banned from the Deo family for good.

Now is not the situation to choose.

Jenny Jang has been chosen as a witness for the trial.

She'll reveal everything in court.

The girl who died from drugs and Lee Hyun Ji's mom...

will be brought to the surface.

We can use our connections and stop her.

Ye Nam, don't you understand?

This will eventually be dragged to the end...

if you or Jenny Jang don't give up.

There's no way Do Young will let Mayor Do go down.

Then she'll just be dragged down with him.

She's just threatening me right now for fun.

Ye Nam, you're the one who started it first.

Jenny Jang will never stop.

Then what do you want me to do?

Are you telling me to give in to Jenny Jang?

Once the trial begins, Jenny Jang will testify.

It'll be too late then.

I told you to listen to me and go to the US.

How can you stop someone who is as desperate as her?

It's like you've put your wrist inside the handcuffs...

that have been put on Jenny Jang's wrist.

If you try to take down Jenny Jang, you'll go down too,

and if you try to live,

she will live as well.

Do you want me to give in to Do Young as well?

She's messing with Mayor Do.

The one gambling with the international city project...

is not me, but Jenny Jang.

She's using the Deo family's future to make fools out of us.

Will you just sit back and watch?

That golden egg you wished for so much...

is about to be taken from us!

Inviting a ticking bomb inside our home...

and expecting it to be peaceful does not make sense.

She came from cleaning a bathhouse...

all the way up to this position.

All I did was...

take her in and step all over her.

When stepped on,

most people fall down and just disappear.

But Jenny Jang became tougher...

and survived more powerfully.

How on earth can you handle someone like that?

Mom.

Still, you should've been on my side.

The international city project is not the problem.

Your daughter is about to go to prison.

The only thing that can save you...

is the person wearing those handcuffs with you.

Does it hurt your pride that much...

to ask Jenny Jang for help?

If you can't give in,

you will never beat her from now on.

Director Wi,

you must give in for now...

to think about what you can do after.

Chairwoman Kim.

I know how influential Ms. Jang is,

but Ye Nam is still your daughter.

She's a girl who acts on confidence and certainty.

I'd have to make several calls to stop Jenny Jang.

Why go through all that trouble?

Ye Nam giving in...

is the simple solution.

Both of them are running...

towards the end of a cliff right now.

One of them has to fall down in order for this to stop.

It's a fight of guts.

The one who gets afraid will lose.

But when it comes to guts,

she won't be able to win Jenny Jang.

The receiver cannot be reached. - Darn it.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail...

Did you say she didn't come home last night?

Yes.

Yes. Hello, Ju Ho.

It's the first time you've called for me.

How did the meeting go?

Today was the seventh meeting of the Urban Planning Committee.

If you want to know about the international city project,

I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you much.

I know.

That you're leading the members who are opposed to the project.

You can keep opposing.

Since this isn't just about Yungcheon,

but the foundation of this country,

you should be cautious.

Mayor Do?

Ju Ho.

Out of all the congressmen working for Yungcheon,

you know that you and I are the original members, right?

I won't let go of this hand until my career in politics end...

No, until my life ends.

So...

you and I should go together.

Mayor Do, is something wrong?

My pride isn't important now, so I'll tell you everything.

Two women from the Deo family are toying with my life.

How could I just stay still?

I should at least show them I'm not their puppet.

What is this about?

Ju Ho.

You should stick to your beliefs.

I'll back you up and become a reliable partner.

Let's make this a win-win situation.

I have to visit the welfare center in Eunju-dong at 3pm, right?

Okay.

Ju Ho.

Let's go out together.

Okay?

What is it?

It's nothing.

He seemed familiar.

He's the intelligence bureau chief from the National Police Agency.

Ju Ho.

Let's make time soon and have a drink.

What are you doing?

How dare you block me? Move!

I'm sorry, Director Wi.

You must make plans with Ms. Jang first.

What?

I'm sorry.

So let's stop this.

I give up.

Once you back off,

no matter what Lee Hyun Ji claims, no one will listen.

She'll take the blame for everything,

and things will... - No.

Lee Hyun Ji won't become the killer.

Then how will you take care of it?

Take Lee Hyun Ji out.

I'll tell her and Sun Woo to cooperate.

So come up with a way to take her out.

What?

And after she comes out,

she'll be with me.

That means...

I want you to leave her alone and never bother her again.

But it's my weakness,

one that's alive. Are you saying you'll threaten me...

for the rest of my life using her?

If you don't want to do it,

we can end everything here and now.

You'll desert Mayor Do...
