The scene changes to Mr. Hong's house where Cha-young was sitting. Han-seo's picture was kept in front of her. She dips the stick in the red sauce and then, draws with it on Han-seo's picture.
All of them were bewildered to see this.
"What are you doing, Ms. Hong?" The tenants started asking in shock and surprise.
"All right. Keep smiling. Pretty soon, you will be shedding tears of blood," Cha-young says in a whispering tone and chuckles. She takes the shot glass and circles Han-seo's pic with three times and then, drinks it. She pours another shot as she looks at her father's picture.
Han-seo would lie if he did not say that he was kind of horrified seeing this. Vincenzo, on the other hand was amused seeing this. Cha-young was getting more and more embarrassed seeing her drunk future self's actions.
"Ms. Hong, you know voodoo and black magic?" Toto said in shock and fear.
"I used to think she was the only sane person here," Ms. Kwak muttered.
"Dad. I don't think I can be a wonderful lawyer like you. But instead I will be one hell of a tenacious lawyer," She says and drinks the shot and smiles.
"I am sure will be," Mr. Hong said to Cha-young.
The scene changes to Jipuragi Law Firm's office.
"I hope we get along." Cha-young says to the chef and hands him over the card. She then, moves to Mr. Tak's direction and says the same.
"So, you have re-opened the law firm, that was kind of expected," Vittorio says to Cha-young.
"Sir, I hope we get along." She then, moves to Ms. Seo.
"I hope we get along. You are so beautiful."
Ms. Seo blushed at this. However, the rest of them knew Cha-young was just flattering the residents so that she is on their good books.
"I hope we get along. You are also very beautiful," She says to Mrs. Jang. She gave all the tenants her new card.
Mrs. Jang smiled at this.
"Law Firm Jipuragi has come back to life!" Cha-young shouts and only Mr. Nam claps loudly. "Feel free to ask me for help."
"Does this mean we will resume what we have been working on?" Lee asks her.
"I guess that is kind of obvious," Mr. An said.
"Yes. I will continue my dad's work regarding to the lawsuit, related to this building's tenants," Cha-young answers.
"Then, what about Mr. Cassano?" Ms. Seo asks.
"Forget about him. He can do whatever he likes. We have her now. I hope we get along. Congratulations," Ms. Kwak says and starts clapping and Cha-young bows and the rest also start clapping.
Cha-young in the theatre knew these celebrations won't last long as now due to the blessings of Vittorio and Wusang Law Firm, the police should be on their way to arrest her.
"In any case, I will help you guys from now on," Cha-young says.
"Word has it that you were working in opposition to your father," Mr. Tak says. Cha-young coughs and speaks.
"Yes, but now my daughter has turned over a new leaf," Mr. Hong said.
"That is all in the past. I have been born again. I will fight against corruption and injustice while obeying the law. With warmth and benevolence, I will embrace you--" Cha-young gets cut in between.
Myung-hee cringed at this.
"Ms. Hong Cha-young."
"Yup, here we go," Cha-young thought as she was expecting this.
"Hello, sir. How may I help you?" Cha-young asks them.
"You are under arrest for trespassing and blackmailing," The officer speaks as he shows her ID to her.
"The police is here," One of the tenants said.
"There going to take her for something she had not done," Mrs. Kwak said trying to bring others' attention over this injustice.
"Let us make this easy," The other person says while taking out the handcuffs.
"What do you mean?" Cha-young asks.
"Stay still."
"Ms. Hong."
"What are you doing?" Cha-young asks them again.
"Come on."
"Don't cause a scene," The officers try to grab Cha-young's hands.
"No!"
"Stop."
"Come on."
This whole time Cha-young and Mr. Hong along with some of the tenants were glaring at the younger Cassano, Myung-hee and Mr. Han.
The scene changes to the station.
"I have been home since 7 p.m. last night," Cha-young says.
"They also know that but Wusang fed them enough money to do what they say," Ms. Kwak said and some of them nodded in affirmation.
"For now on, we can't verify that you went home and stayed there," The officer says.
Most of them knew that the police could come only with this reasoning only.
"Then, check my phone's location during the time of the incident. Then, you will be able to verify that," Cha-young says.
"You could have left your phone at home and then, gone out," The officer says and Cha-young smiles.
Cha-young rolled her eyes that.
"Are you saying that I single handedly penetrated Chairman Jang's security, broke into his room and put fifty syringes in his pillow? Do you think I am Black Widow?" Cha-young asks him.
"It's useless to reason with them. They are also well aware of the situation but they will pretend to play dumb," Mr. Hong said in irritation as he was disappointed with how some people can betray their duty the moment they have money.
The scene changes to Geumga Plaza. Mr. Nam told Vincenzo that Cha-young got arrested.
"She was arrested?" Vincenzo asks.
"Because of you," Cha-young muttered angrily.
"Yes. They suddenly came and took her," Mr. Nam replies.
"Did she break into someone's house and threaten them?" Vincenzo asks him.
"Of course he knows," Cha-young thought.
"She did," Mr. Nam says and then, realizes. "How did you know that?" He asks him.
"I didn't. I was just guessing" Vincenzo says.
"Look at him playing dumb," Cha-young said getting more pissed off seeing Vincenzo acting oblivious.
"I can't get her out. So, if you could--" Mr. Nam says but Vincenzo's cuts him in between.
"She is competent enough to get out of there before evening. Don't worry," Vincenzo says and was about to close his door but Mr. Nam stops him.
Cha-young now felt like strangling the older Cassano brother completely forgetting that this whole incident was orchestrated by the younger one.
"Wait, sir. We would appreciate a bit of help. Please?" Mr. Nam says. Vincenzo tries to remove his hands from the door but the grip was too strong.
"I have an opera to watch," Vincenzo says and tries to remove his grip.
"You have to watch a fucking opera when I am getting arrested because of you two bastards!" Cha-young shouts on top of her voice in anger after standing up.
All of them flinched at this even the Cassano brothers.
Vittorio secretly took out a pair of ear plugs and put them on as he had a very strong feeling Cha-young won't stop here. He also passed a pair to Han-seo and the second one to Han-seok. Both of them muttered a thank you.
And Vittorio was right Cha-young ranted for a whole ten minutes before she finally calmed down.
"I am sorry," Vincenzo apologized in a flat tone.
Cha-young looked at him in disbelief and scoffed knowing very well that he didn't mean it.
"What? An opera?" Mr. Nam asks and Vincenzo is finally able to close the door. Mr. Nam bangs on the door.
Vincenzo was sitting inside, watching the opera while drinking wine.
"I don't need to worry about her. She will get out on her own," Vincenzo thinks and continues watching the opera.
Vittorio wanted to laugh at this. His brother's future self has started to care for Cha-young without even realizing it.
"If I am indeed evil, it's because... of you," Vincenzo says and drinks the wine.
Few time passes by. Vincenzo was laying on the floor and was thinking.
"I called the police station, and things are not looking good."
Cha-young was surprised to see that the older Cassano has a bit of conscience left. However, Vincenzo was getting irritated by the fact why his future self has thinking so much about Cha-young.
"Do I like her?" This though suddenly struck Vincenzo's mind making him shocked but immediately got rid of that thought.
"No, I don't like her. She is too immature for me like to her. It is just my guilty conscience acting up," Vincenzo thought.
"Why can't she get out of there?" Vincenzo asks. He then hears the bird's voice. "Geez." Vincenzo gets irritated and shouts, "Come on! Can you be quiet? Please?" Vincenzo says in a pleading voice.
Vittorio and the rest of tenants were having a good time seeing Vincenzo in irritation.
The scene changes back to Mr. Nam and it is shown that he is calling Mr. Park a.k.a Vittorio.
"She got arrested! Don't worry Mr. Nam I will be there... Hmm... Yes, don't worry I will get her out of there with Mr. Cassano." Vittorio assured Mr. Nam who thanked him in return.
At these point the people in the theatre were not even surprised to see the Cassano brothers were acting clueless.
"Wusang really works fast. Now, I have to drag hyung there as well. Too much work," Vittorio says dramatically with a sigh.
Most of them looked at Vittorio as if they were seeing an alien but the younger Cassano just ignored those meaningless gazes.
The scene changes. Cha-young laid her head down on the table and was sleeping.
"Her records are clean, and her alibi checks out. Her second-floor neighbor confirms seeing her through the window," The officer tells the other officer.
Cha-young sighed in relief knowing that they couldn't forge any fake evidence against her and she had a strong alibi.
"This is driving me crazy. Wusang already paid us. First, let's order some breakfast for her," The officer says.
"Okay," The officer says and leaves.
All of them knew the officers were trying to drag it out to think of something to get them out of this mess.
Jun-woo enters the police station and sees Cha-young sleeping. He sits beside her.
"Cha-young," He says and Cha-young wakes up.
"What? Hey," Cha-young greets him.
"You should have called sooner. Was not I your only hope?" Jun-woo says. Cha-young yawns and says.
"I don't think so," Cha-young says.
"No. You were the fifty seventh person I called."
All of them erupted in laughter listening this.
"She did him dirty," One of the tenants said.
"Emotional Damage!!!" Another tenant exclaimed.
Cha-young ignored all of this. Meanwhile, Vittorio saw his boyfriend pouting so he whispered in his ears.
"Don't worry you will always be my first and last hope."
Jun-woo blushed at his boyfriend's remark.
"What?" Jun-woo mutters in a bit shock. The officer comes there.
"Who are you?" The officer asks Jun-woo. He stands up and speaks.
"I am from Law Firm Wusang. I am Lawyer Jang Jun-woo," Jun-woo says and the other officer was in shock.
"They misunderstood, right?" Toto asked.
"Yes, they thought that he is a lawyer sent by Wusang Law Firm but in reality he was there for Cha-young," Mr. Hong replied.
"Why did you come here, sir?" The other officer asks.
"Yup, they hundred percent misunderstood," Larry said.
"I will sue you if you have broken any rules while investigating," Jun-woo says pointing a finger at him.
"Stop embarrassing me" Cha-young says.
"Do you have proof? You don't, right? Right?" Jun-woo says in a loud voice.
"That is enough," Cha-young says.
"I was just helping you," Jun-woo innocently murmured.
"So, why is she still here?" Jun-woo asks. "I want to see your commanding officer. This instant," Jun-woo shouts at the last part.
"You should know better than to throw tantrums like this!" The other officer also says in a loud voice.
People in the theatre were quite amused seeing Jun-woo's cute antics but the person most whipped amongst all of them was the younger Cassano.
"A tantrum?" Jun-woo leans closer to Cha-young and asks. "Did he just curse at me?"
"Yes, he did. He pretty much said, 'You son of a...'" Cha-young whispers into his ears and Jun-woo gets angry.
"How dare you?" Jun-woo says.
Most of them chuckled at this as well.
"Here is your proof," Vittorio says as he comes there with a pen drive in his hand with Vincenzo.
Some of the tenants in the theatre started clapping at the Cassano brothers' entry.
"This is a CCTV footage taken from a convenience store in front of her house. It shows that she came home from work at 6:27 p.m. two nights ago and stayed home until 8:12 p.m. yesterday morning."
"They can't question this proof. It's a concrete one," Mr. Nam said.
"And who are you?" The other officer asks pointing towards Vincenzo and Vittorio.
"I am a lawyer and her legal representative," Vincenzo says.
"And I am his acquaintance and Ms. Hong's well wisher," Vittorio says looking at Cha-young who smiled back at him and then winked at his boyfriend. Jun-woo looks at both of them in shock.
"Finally, both of you came. I thought you would wait until I had spent at least a night in jail," Cha-young said but mostly directing it towards Vincenzo.
"Don't worry, I will explain to you later," Vittorio whispers to Jun-woo.
"What has gotten into him?" Cha-young says about Vincenzo.
"Now, show me a irrefutable proof that she had an accomplice," Vincenzo says and the officer look at each other.
"They don't have anything to show anyways," Mrs. Kwak said.
"If you don't have anything, she has every right to be released," Vittorio adds.
"I was going to get you out of here, right?" Jun-woo asks Cha-young while she just makes a face.
Some of them chuckled at this.
"Do you have proof? Do you?" Vincenzo says the last part in raised voice. The officers don't reply and Vincenzo slams the pen drive on the table and walks out.
Some of them were jealous and impressed by the older Cassano's walk which screamed confidence.
Vittorio also signals Jun-woo as he wanted to have a talk with him.
Cha-young stands up and speaks. "Gosh, I knew it. I am hungry now that I feel better. Order me some food, before I go," Cha-young says and sits on the chair.
"Of course, food is priority," Toto said.
