(Episode 38)
I knew it.
It was you.
What are you talking about?
You're the one...
who put me in this situation!
Are you trying to say I paid someone...
to do this to you?
If that's not it,
how did you know I was here?
You obviously did this...
so I wouldn't be able to show up for the trial.
I always knew you victimized yourself.
But now you're even delusional.
Don't you think you should receive a psychiatric evaluation?
You were so determined to protect Ha Neul,
but you didn't even show up for the trial.
So my lawyer quickly looked into it and found out you were here.
So is this your way of loving Ha Neul?
You're a delivery man by day and chauffeur by night...
while your neighbors take turns to look after Ha Neul.
And now you might even end up going to jail.
What then? What's going to happen to Ha Neul?
If you just give up on him,
he'll get to live in the best environment...
and receive tons of love.
But why is it that you can't give up on him...
even in this kind of situation?
Is it to take revenge?
Is it because I fooled you and acted like he was your kid...
and even ended up cheating on you?
Shut your mouth.
No, I won't.
If you go to jail,
he'll have a criminal for a father.
Do you want Ha Neul to stay around and see that happen?
It looks like you even thought of the ending.
But I won't easily go down like this.
Don't expect things to go your way.
Fine.
I guess you're okay with Ha Neul finding out...
what kind of person you are.
You're jobless because you got fired for sexual molestation.
And you might even go to jail for assault.
You may not be his biological dad,
but I wanted him to remember you as a good father.
So I must say, it's a real pity.
I'm never going to forgive you.
Once I get out of here,
I'm going to reveal everything.
I'll reveal your true colors.
Go ahead if you can.
I'm no longer willing to negotiate.
You blew your luck.
I hate myself...
for having loved a woman like you.
I won't ever be able to forgive you.
No.
I won't forgive you.
Your forgiveness...
means nothing to me.
I'll be off now.
When is my dad coming home?
He told me it might take a few days.
But why isn't he answering my calls?
He probably turned off his cell phone...
so he could focus on training.
- Really? - I mean, come on.
Yesterday, she was completely immersed in reading the documents.
I know.
But look at how she took the morning off the next day.
She put on a real show.
But isn't she really charismatic?
I just hope she won't try to lecture us...
about what to do with our design.
Everyone, let's start our meeting.
- Okay. - Gather together.
I went through the data of the past three years,
and I figured out why we've hit a plateau.
Change.
You're all too scared of change.
Lara likes to keep things traditional...
and minimalistic.
What kind of change are you talking about?
Change doesn't necessarily mean...
we should get rid of the company's identity.
But trying too hard...
to maintain the brand concept is what caused the plateau.
5, 4,
3, 2, 1.
It's time!
(Vice-CEO Jang Jun Ho)
Hello, this is Jang Jun Ho.
Yes.
I see.
Okay, bye.
Yu Na.
I mean, Ms. Kang.
Do you know why he didn't show up to the trial today?
Last night,
he got locked up in a holding cell for assault.
Really?
We're going to win this for sure.
He's crossed the bridge of no return.
Gosh, I can't believe a guy like him has been raising my son.
It makes me furious.
Let's go home.
Let's tell my parents the good news.
I can't go home tonight.
What? Why can't you go home?
Ha Neul will be sleeping alone now that he's in a holding cell.
Oh, right. I didn't think of that.
Then let me go with you.
What do you plan to do?
What do you think?
I want to tell him the truth.
I'm going to tell him that I'm his dad.
Jun Ho.
This isn't something to drag on.
We should tell him...
and try our best to keep him safe.
Please do me a favor. Just give me some time.
Let me tell Ha Neul the truth...
so that he doesn't get too shocked.
You can meet him...
once he's ready to accept it.
When exactly is that going to be?
It's going to happen soon.
Like you said, we're going to win the trial.
We'll be bringing Ha Neul home. That's a fact now.
But in order to bring him home in a healthy manner,
he needs to accept it first.
Fine.
Instead, I really want you to tell him the truth tonight.
Tell him that punk isn't his biological dad.
Tell him I'm his biological dad.
Okay. Thanks for understanding.
Are you serious?
The father turned out to be a piece of trash?
Yu Na is unbelievable.
She always acts so clever.
But how did she end up marrying a guy like him?
I know, right?
I met him a few times myself,
but I had no idea he was this bad.
So...
are you telling me your wife went to see Ha Neul...
to tell him about you?
Yes, I wanted to go with her.
But I figured he might get shocked to suddenly meet his biological dad.
So Yu Na went to meet him alone and tell him about me.
I'll be meeting him next time.
Yes, good thinking.
My goodness.
I can't believe our one and only grandson...
was being raised by a despicable punk like him.
We're bound to win this trial,
so don't worry.
We just need to convince Ha Neul to come live with us.
Then everything will work out perfectly.
What does he want?
What do you mean?
If he knows Ha Neul isn't his biological son,
why is he refusing to give him up?
I really have no idea.
I even offered to buy him an entire driving range.
But he wasn't even interested.
What? Does that mean he expected something more?
My goodness gracious. What a complete thief.
No, that can't be.
He's not that kind of person.
Gosh, you're unbelievable.
You only saw him once from afar.
This is why people say,
it's impossible to figure out what someone is thinking.
Are you designing an outfit?
What? How do you know that?
I saw my mom do something similar a long time ago.
My mom is a fashion designer.
I see.
But I never actually learned fashion design.
- I'm self-taught. - What does that mean?
It means I read books and practiced by myself.
It means I studied alone.
But how are you so good?
Gosh, thank you for the compliment.
Ha Neul, let's go...
get your clothes and school bag at your place.
You can stay at my place while your dad's gone.
- Okay, Ms. Do. - Okay.
- Did you brush your teeth? - Yes, Ms. Do.
Mom? I'm at my neighbor's.
I ate dinner at my neighbor's.
What?
Our place? Okay.
Is someone at your place?
My mom.
My mom came over to sleep with me...
since my dad's out of town.
I see.
Then you should go meet your mom.
Okay, Ms. Do.
- Good night. - Good night.
What... What was that?
Ha Neul's mother is here?
Yes, she came to sleep with Ha Neul tonight.
What a brazen woman.
Didn't she abandon him?
Well, she's still his mom.
But how did she know that his dad wasn't home?
Hey, sweetheart.
What's all this?
We couldn't go camping together because I didn't show up last time.
So I figured we could camp here tonight.
Go inside.
Think of these lightbulbs as the stars in the night sky.
What do you think? Isn't it neat?
Wait there. I'll make you grilled sausages and marshmallows.
How did you know?
Know what?
That Dad wasn't home because he left...
for training outside the city.
What? Oh, well...
I talked to him over the phone.
But why did you eat dinner at your neighbor's across the hall?
Don't you normally hang around at Woo Joo's place...
whenever your dad's late?
No, not these days.
I eat right across the hall and do my homework there every day.
Whenever Dad's late, I sleep next to the lady there.
"The lady"?
Does she live alone?
No, she lives with her mother.
Her mother is an amazing cook.
Really?
That top looks new.
Did your dad get it for you?
No, the lady across the hall made it for me.
I see.
Is that plant also from her?
Yes, she brought it earlier today.
I see.
You just wait. I'll grill them nicely.
By the way,
why haven't you opened my gift yet?
I didn't want Dad to feel upset.
Although he told me he's fine.
Then why didn't you open it?
You should open it now.
It's all done.
Here. It's hot. Blow on it before you eat it.
Ha Neul's mother is here?
I'm going to have a word with her this time.
Just sit down.
Let me go.
I've been more than patient.
I also want to go over there...
and slap her across her face.
But she's with Ha Neul.
You can't embarrass her in front of her kid.
She's right, Yoon Chul.
She's still Ha Neul's mother.
This is totally killing me.
Ha Neul's father wasn't able to show up to today's trial,
but if he even ends up going to court for assault,
it'll be really disadvantageous for him.
What are we going to do?
Everything will work out fine if that guy agrees to settle.
But he apparently threw a fit...
and refused to settle.
I don't get why he's doing this.
They're still investigating,
so I'm sure they'll find something to prove...
that Ha Neul's father is innocent.
All we can do is pray.
Please...
Wait a minute.
How did she know that Jae Kyung wasn't home?
Exactly. That's what got me puzzled.
Ha Neul.
To be honest,
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Why do you like your dad so much?
He cares for me a lot more than himself.
Dad...
always tries to keep me safe...
whether he's with me or not.
What is it that you need to tell me?
Oh, well...
To be honest...
The thing is...
Your dad is...
Just a second, Ha Neul.
What brings you here at this hour?
Can we talk?
I have nothing to say to you.
It won't take long, so come on out.
I need to talk to you.
Keep it short.
Ha Neul's alone in bed.
Okay, sure.
I also don't have...
the patience...
to be around you for too long.
Jae Kyung is in a holding cell.
You're not even surprised. Did you already know that?
But then again,
that's probably why you're here to meet Ha Neul.
Just get to the point.
I told you Ha Neul is home alone.
Yu Na, do me a favor.
Just leave Jae Kyung and Ha Neul alone.
Stop ruining Jae Kyung's life.
Listen to me, Mr. Park.
I'm no longer the receptionist you knew at the driving range...
15 years ago.
I know that you're a competent designer...
and that you married into a rich family.
Isn't that enough?
You got everything you wanted,
so why can't you just leave Jae Kyung alone?
Don't you feel sorry for him?
His entire life revolves around Ha Neul.
So why are you doing this to him?
Because I'm Ha Neul's mother. That's why.
I don't want you getting involved in our issue.
Do you understand?
My gosh, seriously.
(Seoul Northern Police Station will protect...)
(your safety and happiness.)
(Seoul Northern Police Station)
Jae Kyung!
Yoon Chul, how did you know I'd be out?
I called as soon as I woke up,
and they told me the warrant got rejected.
Gosh.
You really didn't have to come all the way here.
Hey, I bought this nearby. Hurry up and take a bite.
Gosh, I didn't get released from jail.
Just take a bite...
so you won't ever come near this place again. Here.
My gosh.
By the way, is everything okay with Ha Neul?
His mom came last night and slept with him at your place.
- What is the problem with... - What? Yu Na came?
Hey, Jae Kyung! Wait for me!
Jae Kyung!
My gosh.
- Dad. - Ha Neul.
Why are you crying, Dad?
Oh, because...
I couldn't see you for two days. I missed you so much.
Nothing happened, right? Are you okay?
Are you done with your training?
Yes, I'm all done.
Last night...
Did you camp with your mom here?
Yes.
She grilled marshmallows and sausages for me.
She did?
What did you guys talk about?
She asked me what I liked so much about you.
Didn't she say anything else?
She told me she wanted to tell me something.
But I fell asleep.
I see.
I'll go wash up.
Okay.
Hey, when did you come home?
I just got home.
It must've been tough.
Is everything okay now?
Yes. Well...
I'll be going to court without being restrained.
By the way, Ha Neul's mother came yesterday.
I guess she left early.
I guess so.
I came to tell Ha Neul to come over for breakfast.
You should come and eat with him.
Thank you for taking such good care of him.
You need to stop thanking me.
Come on over.
Do you know what the meaning of basil leaves is?
It's hope.
Don't ever let go of hope.
"Hope"?
Okay. I'm going to name you Hope.
You couldn't tell him?
Why? Why couldn't you tell him?
I was about to...
It just turned out that way.
Why did it turn out that way?
You spent the entire night with him.
You just had to tell him one thing.
Will you stop rushing me?
Do you think it's easy for me...
to suddenly shock him with something like that...
when he least expects it?
It's best to get it over with.
You can't hide it forever.
He's jobless, and he even committed assault.
It's a known fact that he's no longer qualified to be a dad.
I'll tell him myself.
What?
I don't think you'll be able to tell Ha Neul anything...
even after we're done with the trial.
So I'll tell him.
Jun Ho.
Hello, Mr. Seo.
I heard you guys are going to visit our store today.
Yes, we were just about to leave.
Let's go, Mr. Jang.
Both of you are visiting our store for the very first time,
so I hope you give me a lot of feedback.
Okay, we'll be off now.
Oh, hey.
You should lie down.
I bet you couldn't even sleep properly in the holding cell.
- You should get a massage. - It's okay.
What do you mean "It's okay"?
You need to start taking care of yourself.
I know it's important to protect Ha Neul,
but you need to take care of yourself in order to do that.
Okay, okay. Stop getting angry.
Okay.
Let me use this chance to lie down for a bit.
You know what? The more I think about it,
the more I find it hard to understand that guy.
- What guy? - Yu Na's husband.
Why can't they be satisfied with their marriage?
Why is he so obsessed about taking her ex-husband's son?
I can't believe he even filed a lawsuit.
I really don't get it.
What is it? Is there a reason?
Because if there isn't, it's just weird.
That man...
is Ha Neul's biological father.
I know, right?
What... What was that?
What did you just say?
Yu Na's husband...
is Ha Neul's biological father.
Are you joking with me?
No, I'm not joking.
No, wait.
Wait a minute. Are you saying you're not Ha Neul's biological dad?
You should get back to work.
I need to look for a delivery job.
What the...
Is he nuts?
Jae Kyung!
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's start from over here.
Over here,
we displayed the SS line for women.
And over there are the men's clothes.
We gathered the carryover products...
together in one area...
to help the customers see them all at once.
- The carryover products? - Yes.
This one is the one that was in this month's magazine.
And we displayed it like this.
I think the mannequins should seem more active.
It's also a good idea...
to hang some accessories like this to attract people's attention.
Okay.
Let's continue taking a look around.
This is the performance line.
They were designed to emphasize the logo.
- The performance line? - Yes.
It's nice.
Excuse me. Where's the vice-CEO?
He left just now saying something urgent came up.
He said something urgent came up?
Okay. Thank you for today.
Thank you.
I knew it. I feel so bad.
I know. I feel bad too.
- Mister. - Hello, Ha Neul.
Do you know him?
Yes, he knows my dad too.
Ha Neul, I need to talk to you.
Hey, kid. You can go without him.
My mom told me not to leave Ha Neul's side.
I'm not a bad person.
I just need to talk to him alone.
Woo Joo, it's okay. I won't take long.
- Okay. - Bye.
What do you need to tell me?
Let's not talk here. Let's go somewhere.
I'll buy you something nice.
No, you can tell me here.
Really?
Then...
Then let's sit over there on that bench.
What I need to tell you is...
I hope you don't get too shocked...
by what I'm about to tell you.
What is it?
To be honest, I'm actually...
I'm...
Ha Neul!
(Amor Fati)
If we find evidence,
it might help you win the trial.
We finally found it.
There's a video of him hurting himself.
Are you serious?
- You got a job? - I'm starting next week.
Why does it have to be here of all places?
