The scene changes. Mr. Han was leaving in his car.
"Good night"
"Good night" Mr. Han leaves.
"What? You are sending me home"
"Good night" Choi sits in her car and opens the window.
"Ms. Hong, come here" Cha-young walks towards Myung-hee's car but she signals her to step closer. Myung-hee holds her neck and pulls her closer.
Mr. Hong grits his teeth in anger, how dare that bitch touch his precious daughter.
"Hong Cha-young. If you mess with me again, that will be the end of you, you brat" Myung-he threatens her but Cha-young smiles.
"Do let me know when you get the chance. I would not mind a near death experience" Cha-young says with a big smile.
Vittorio smiled at this while Cha-young smirked.
"Seriously. You are one big nut-job. The three strike rule doesn't apply to you. One strike, and you are done" Myung-hee threatens her again.
"I am sorry to bring this up, but you should cut your nails. I think you just scratched my neck" Cha-young says while placing her hand on the hand which gripped her neck. Choi chuckles at this and leaves her neck.
"Let's go" She says to the driver and her car goes.
"Good night"
"Good night"
"Gosh, she could have infected me with the germs from her nails" Cha-young says.
They chuckled at this while Myung-hee clutched her fists.
She checks her phone and saw the text she received from her father.
"Come home right now"
"What? What is it this time?" Cha-young thinks. "Gosh. Why does he keep calling me?"
Mr. Hong rolls his eyes at this and Cha-young glares at him while the rest sigh.
The scene changes to the ANT company.
"Tear down everything even if there is a party going on today" Seok-do says to his men.
"Yes, sir"
"Yes, sir"
"What if there are people like the Italian ambassador in the party?" Soo-nam asks his boss.
"All right, tear down everything after you escort them somewhere else" Seok-do says.
"Yes, sir"
"Yes, sir"
"Go on"
"Let's go"
"Get ready"
"Go!"
Park Seok-do receives a call.
"Hey" It was Mr. Deok-jin on the other side of the line.
"Yes, Mr. Na"
"Hey. Leave Geugma Plaza alone for the next two months" Deok-jin says.
"Why?" Seok-do asks.
"Just do as I say!" Deok-jin shouts and Seok-do distances his phone from his ear for a second. "If the plaza gets destroyed, we will be destroyed too" He says and hangs up the phone. He takes ice cubes from the glass nearby and then, puts it in his mouth.
They chuckled at this.
"Damn it. What is this?" Seok-do says in confusion.
"Hey, let's go!" Soo-nam says.
"No, don't. Stop it" Seok-do says.
"Destroy it!" Soo-nam shouts not listening what Seok-do just said.
"Hey, stop! Wait! I told you to stop!" Seok-do shouts. "Why is that forklift going so fast? Stop! Stop!" He shouts again.
Most of them were laughing so hard on this scene.
"Turn of the engines!"
"Stop!"
"Turn of the engines. Gosh, the fumes"
The scene changes. Vittorio was walking and his phone beeps. He takes his phone out of the pocket and sees the message from Mr. Hong.
'How could you both leave without telling me? Come to my house. Bring Mr. Cassano with you too. Let's drink soju' Vittorio continues walking.
"Now that I see, you should try soju, you definitely have grown fond of it in future" Vittorio says to Vincenzo who simply ignores him.
"Ignorant bastard" Vittorio mutters.
The scene changes to Mr. Hong's house. Cha-young was also there.
"So, the narcotic pain meds of Babel Pharmaceuticals will turn people into drug addicts. And drug cartels will spring up in Korea. So you want me to stop them At the expense of my lawsuit?" Cha-young asks.
"The lawsuit isn't what matters right now. The core problem is narcotics" Mr. Hong replies.
"Who fed you such nonsense? Was it Vincenzo Cassano? Or was it Park Dae-hyun? Are you guys on some kind of debate team?" Cha-young asks.
"They both are from Italy. They know the severity of the danger and drug cartels" Mr. Hong says.
"Other pharmaceutical companies produce narcotic pain meds too. Why are you coming after Babel?" Cha-young asks.
"They are different. They will use lobbyists to make the drug accessible and mass produce the drug like it is a digestive pill. Then, a lot of people will--" Mr. Hog says but Cha-young cuts him in between.
"I guess it's true that no matter how smart, people will cling to conspiracies once they are cornered" Cha-young says.
All of them were fed up by this father-daughter feud.
Cha-young sighed knowing her father was right
"Cha-young, this is not a conspiracy theory. That is the truth and our future" Mr. Hong says and they both heard the doorbell.
"That must be your fellow debaters. Enjoy your debate then" Cha-young says and leaves while Mr. Hong sighs.
Vittorio was parking the car outside. Vincenzo meets Cha-young, outside Mr. Hong's house. He ignores her and walks ahead.
"Please stop telling my dad nonsense" Cha-young says and they both turn around to face each other. "Drug? Cartels? Do you think this is some American TV show?" Cha-young asks.
"Well, to be honest, this whole thing is more thrilling than an American TV show" Mr. An says.
"Does it sound that absurd?" Vincenzo asks.
"Yes. At this rate Babel Pharmaceuticals will rule the world or something" Cha-young replies.
Vincenzo just sighed at this while Vittorio gave his brother a look.
"When you continuously turn lies into the truth, you become blinded to the truth" Vincenzo says.
"Now, you are diminishing my honour as an attorney" Cha-young says as she folds her hands. Vincenzo smirks and walks closer to Cha-young. He says few words in Italian and Cha-young smiles.
Vittorio chuckled at this.
"What did he say?" Cha-young asks in anger.
"There is no honor among thieves" Han-seo replied and Cha-young scoffed at this.
"Care to translate?" Cha-young says.
"There is no honour among thieves" Vincenzo says and Cha-young chuckles.
"One day, when you are exposed as someone who has no right to be saying such things, I will mock you, every second I see you to the point you want to kill me" Cha-young says and turns around to leave.
"I will be waiting" Vincenzo says.
"Let me say one more thing before you do that" Vincenzo says and Cha-young turns around. "Stupid. Idiot" He says this in Italian very close to her face as some of the saliva drops came out his mouth while saying this and Cha-young wipes it. Vincenzo turns around and goes in the house.
They started laughing at this.
"What did he say this time?" Cha-young asks.
"Stupid. Idiot" Vittorio replies.
This was it. Cha-young got up from her seat and started hitting Vincenzo.
"I am idiot, huh? I am stupid? Then, what are you? You are idiot and stupid 'cause it was you who got robbed even being a mafia" Cha-young says while continue to hit Vincenzo.
"Don't bring that up" Vincenzo says.
"I will, what will you do? You don't even have a gun here" Cha-young says.
Vittorio and Han-seo who were having fun in the corner separating the two.
"Enough both of you. We have to watch ahead" Vittorio says and the two sit back on their seats.
"Translate!" Cha-young shouted.
"No translation for that" Vincenzo says and goes inside.
"My guts tell they weren't good words. I bet he was cursing at me. He is so annoying. I am so enraged that I am feeling cathartic" Cha-young says to herself and leaves.
They laughed at this.
The scene changes.
The light mood changes into a tense one.
"It's all my fault. Yes, I will fix it as soon as possible, so it doesn't harm you. Yes. No. Whenever you scold me like this, I can tell I am growing. Yes. The villa? No. Please do as you please. Yes. Okay. Have a good night. Bye." Jang Han-seo hangs up the phone. He sits down and loosens his tie. He drinks the alcohol and seemed very stressed out.
Almost everyone felt bad for him, he didn't deserve this.
"What the hell does he want?" Han-seo asks.
"That bastard should just start counting his final days" Vittorio thought.
The scene changes. Vincenzo, Vittorio and Mr. Hong were drinking together.
"Mr. Hong. That lady earlier... Was her name Oh Gyeong-ja? Is she okay?" Vittorio asks.
"She is not. She only has six months to live" Mr. Hong answered.
"If she is in her final stage, she must be in a lot of pain, right?" Vincenzo asks as he pours drink for Mr. Hong.
"Look at you two questioning me, admit it, you do care for her" Mr. Hong said. None of the Cassano brothers replied to him, they just looked down.
Mr. Hong pours him the drink and speaks.
"If you were curious, you both should have asked your mom yourself" Mr. Hong says and Vincenzo and Vittorio were shocked.
Here too, people were shocked.
"What? Do you take me as an idiot, who can't see their behavior? It's so obvious" Mr. Hong says.
"Why don't you both go visit her and ask her yourself next time?" Vincenzo and Vittorio sighed at this.
"How did you know?" Vittorio asks.
"I am not clueless, you know" Mr. Hong said.
"I have been a lawyer for thirty years. I have got quite a hunch. And why do you think I dragged you both to the hospital? You both are so slow. When you asked me if I was a public defender, I already figured it out. No actually it was that day" Mr. Hong says and Vittorio and Vincenzo look at him.
"The trial day, right?" Cha-young asks and Mr. Hong nods.
The scene changes to the trial day.
"Defendant Oh Gyeong-ja was often criticized by Chairman Hwang Deok-bae and his family for her improper behaviours as a housekeeper" Vincenzo and Vittorio were sitting there and Mr. Hong was also there sitting a few seats beside them.
"You were also there" Mi-ri said.
"On the day of the incident, when he said she didn't do her job properly, she was livid and assaulted him which led to his death" Vincenzo was very uncomfortable hearing this and so was Vittorio.
They felt bad for them. Han-seok put his hand on Vittorio's to comfort him and they smiled.
"The defense rests" Mr. Hong also notices it.
"Your honour, Defendant Oh Gyeong-ja had abandoned her own child in the past" Vincenzo was facing the ground, clutching the seat and sighing. "I am submitting her affidavit of voluntary relinquishment of parental rights to an orphanage in Incheon" Vincenzo was hitting his thigh while Vittorio was clutching his fists hard.
"This is getting bad" Cha-young thought.
"That's irrelevant to the case"
"Defendant. Be quiet" Vincenzo starts hitting his thigh more faster and harder while Vittorio was also not able tolerate that.
"You are my lawyer. Say something. I was sexually harassed. His whole family is lying!" Vittorio opens his fists and the crescent marks were visible on his palm with blood drawn out.
Even though they are hearing it again, the feeling is always the same, the helplessness, the anger, it never goes away.
"Don't say anything"
"That day, five years ago, I saw two young men in rage. And I could feel the rage as I was sitting next to them. No one would get so mad over some case unless their family is involved"
Vincenzo and Vittorio leave the courtroom.
The scene changes to the day the Cassano brothers wanted to meet their mother.
"And this confirmed my suspicion"
Mr. Hong saw Vincenzo and Vittorio standing in front of the 'CHEONGJU WOMEN'S CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION' Vincenzo walks away from there with his brother as Mr. Hong watches them.
"You saw us that day" Vincenzo says.
"Yeah, my future self did," Mr. Hong replied.
The scene changes back to present.
"Do you both really not want to visit your mother?" Mr. Hong asks Vincenzo and Vittorio. "I won't force you. And I won't ask you to forgive your mother lightly. But you should not let your yearning turn into regret."
Vittorio sighed but deep down they both knew he was right.
The scene changes. A masked guy was going down the stairs. He opened the gas pipeline and cut it. He fixed one minute timer there and left from there.
They all knew what was happening there.
A guy woke up and coughed as they all smelled the gas.
"What is this smell?" One of them asked and they all went down to check it. They saw the gas pipe cut open.
"What is this? What?" There only five seconds left according to the timer. The watch blasts and with this the whole blasts.
Mr. Hong was so angered.
"Bastards. They can stoop so low" Mr. Hong said as he gritted his teeth. Cha-young was also shocked.
Han-seo was the only one who wasn't surprised. He knew his brother was capable of doing worse things than this.
"This is why he wanted the villa" Vittorio muttered in realization. "For a perfect mass murder and make it look like an accident."
The scene changes.
"Around 3:30 am today, there was an incident, believed to be a gas explosion, at a villa in Yangyang Gangwon Province" Mr. Hong immediately sees the news.
"Employees of the Babel Pharmaceuticals' Drug Development Division were at the villa for a company gateway and were caught in the explosion, which took the lives of the fourteen researchers" Vincenzo and Mr. Nam was also watching the news.
"No" Mr. Hong said in shock.
"The fire authority confirmed 12 researchers were dead at the scene"
"This isn't right!" Mr. Hong says angrily as he slams the paper on the table.
"And two survivors' entire body was burned"
Mr. Hong gets his coat and was about to leave.
"Where were you going now?" Cha-young asks, even though she knew, but she was worried.
"Mr. Hong" Vincenzo tries to stop him.
"-and were transferred to the hospital. But they died during the treatment" Mr. Hong pushed Vincenzo aside and left. Vittorio sighs and follows after him with Vincenzo.
The scene changes to Cha-young's cabin. Cha-young was stressed and Jun-woo was also sitting there.
"Cha-young. Can you not represent Babel Pharmaceuticals?" Jun-woo asks her worriedly.
"How dare you ask me that?" Cha-young says.
"So many people involved have died. People related to the case are dropping like files. I don't want anything to happen to you" Jun-woo says in concern.
Han-seo internally scoffs at this. If only his brother would have been an actor many lives would have been saved, besides the profession suited him too.
"I am not dying. Besides, I represent Babel Pharmaceuticals" Cha-young says as she sits down. Jun-woo stands up.
"Even after all that?" Mr. Hong asks in disbelief.
"That is my future self, okay. I didn't know what was happening at that time" Cha-young tries to defend herself.
"You knew but you chose to ignore it" Vincenzo said.
"People who died today were their employees. So that doesn't matter!" Jun-woo says pointing at the screen.
"Why are you so sensitive lately? Are you emotionally unstable or something?" Cha-young shouts and asks him. Jun-woo yells at her in English. "Yell at me in Korean"
"In Korean. Do you think I am worried just for kicks? Is that what you think? I have been thinking about this, and I have a bad feeling about it" Jun-woo says and Cha-young sighs.
"Where are those Oscar committee guys sleeping? His brother deserves a god damn Oscar" Han-seo thought.
"Intern Jang Jun-woo. Why are you suddenly so protective over me? Don't cross the line. And I told you not to speak English when we are working. Do you think we are in states?" Cha-young says and Jun-woo sighs and starts packing his things. "The briefing didn't even start yet"
"I am going to pretend that I am in the States. I won't talk to you in Korean. Bye" He says as he leaves with his stuff.
"That punk... Hey! Intern!" Cha-young shouts but Jun-woo doesn't stop and walks ahead. "You are dead meat today!" Cha-young shouts.
Vittorio smiled at their cute fight. He knew his boyfriend was lucky to have a senior like Cha-young.
The scene changes. Mr. Han was pacing in tension in his office. Myung-hee was also sitting there.
"Geez. This was way too big" Mr. Han says to her as he sits on the sofa. He stands up again. "Gosh, this... How can he get rid of everyone?" Mr. Han asks in shock.
"Don't you think he is sending us a message? Get things sorted ruthlessly like this. Or if you don't sort things out, you will end up like them" Myung-hee says.
"Gosh, no way. That's ridiculous. Come on, you are jumping to conclusions. You are scaring me" Mr. Han says to Myung-hee.
"I am not jumping to conclusions. I think Chairman Jang is giving us a scolding" Ms. Choi says.
"She got more brains than the dumb owner of the lawsuit" Han-seok thinks.
"I think it is not in his nature to think--" He gets cut off in the middle as his phone rings. "It's Chairman Jang. It's..." Myung-hee signals him to receive the call.
"Yes, sir. We will claim a file for compensation. Yes. Pardon? Yes. I see. Then, I will be there by noon with Ms. Choi. Yes--" The phone line cuts. "He hung up" Mr. Han says to Myung-hee.
"Am I finally meeting him?" Myung-hee asks and Mr. Han nods. "I should get it ready"
"Get what ready?" Mr. Han asks.
"My secret crystal ball that gives me all the answers" Myung-hee says as she shows Mr. Han the grape and feeds it to him. She leaves and Mr. Han smiles.
"What was that?" Mr. Han asks. "Myung-hee. I mean, Miss Choi. That was hot!" Mr. Han says and then adjusts his glasses.
All of them were disgusted at the scene. Cha-young looked like she was going to puke.
