(Episode 73)
Detective Seo Jung Bae?
Let's never cross paths again.
Wait.
Wait, Detective Seo.
What? You saw Seo Jung Bae?
Yes, he was with Director Han.
Director Han?
I saw them walking out of a Japanese restaurant together.
I knew it. Han Min Hyuk.
He's connected to Eun Hye's accident.
What's going on with that car?
I thought you had it scrapped.
He promised me that he'd get rid of it, including all the parts.
Couldn't you have taken proper care of it?
Seo Jung Bae is using it to get his way.
What will you do about it?
I apologize, sir.
Mr. Park.
You'd better keep a watchful eye on Seo Jung Bae.
Yes, sir.
Kim Cheol Jin.
He didn't scrap the car after all.
Darn it.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after...
Kim Cheol Jin, that dirtbag...
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
Come in.
Here's the test report, sir.
(Warming effect has decreased.)
What? How come the warming effect has decreased?
What is the reason?
I think there was an issue with where it was stored.
What did you say?
There must've been an error with the humidity controller.
I double-checked everything,
so that's the only plausible explanation I can think of.
You think that can be an excuse?
If there is such a serious problem,
You should've reported it to me at once.
I went to find you to report it to you, but...
Well, my apologies.
Does that mean we have to discard all the materials in the storage?
Yes.
How long will it take to buy all the materials again?
15 days at the earliest.
What?
I can't believe this.
Do you want to get this done or not?
What am I supposed to tell the chairman?
Get out!
I'm sorry, sir. I'll try to come up with a solution.
We went through hoops to get it. I heard we have to discard it all.
Shouldn't she compensate us for all the losses?
Your right foot first. Let's rest for a moment.
Good.
You're doing great.
(Pain Clinic, Rehabilitation Center)
All right.
Slowly.
Get up.
I can't.
Come on. Get up.
You said you'd always follow my advice.
Try again.
Don't.
- Get up already. - I really can't do this anymore.
What, then?
Are you going to give up?
You're not going to keep your promise?
Okay.
I'll try again.
You did well.
Let's try to walk a little more tomorrow.
Okay.
Mom!
- Ha Eun. - Mr. Get Out!
Ha Eun.
Mr. Get Out, I missed you so much.
I missed you a lot too.
Jae Hyuk.
- Mother. - How are you feeling?
Good.
Ha Eun kept saying she wanted to see you, so I brought her.
I'm glad you did.
Mr. Get Out, are you in a lot of pain?
Not at all. The pain is completely gone now.
Jae Hyuk.
Dad.
Well, my granddaughter really wanted to see him,
so I let her tag along. I'm sorry.
How are you feeling?
I'm all right.
Are you Mr. Get Out's dad?
What?
She calls me like that because I used to say "Get out" often.
I see. Yes, I am.
But he told me that he doesn't have a dad.
Does that mean you lied to me?
You're bad.
Ha Eun, the thing is...
Ha Eun, we should go home.
He needs to get some rest.
Bye, Mr. Get Out.
Goodbye, sir.
Bye, Ha Eun.
Sir, we'll get going, then.
Let's go.
Sir.
You're probably sad because Mr. Get Out is ill now.
Here, have some candy.
I eat candy when I'm sad.
The sweetness puts me in a good mood.
No thanks.
Let's go. Come on.
You should leave too.
- Sir, I'd like to... - And...
I want you to stop visiting Jae Hyuk.
He has a caregiver, so you don't need to be here.
Dad.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
What?
I...
I'll stay by his side.
Hey.
No caregiver can be more determined to help him get better than I am.
I'll do my best so that he can fully recover soon.
Please allow me to stay by his side. I beg you, sir.
Hey, didn't the chairman say anything to you?
He told me to stop coming to the hospital.
But I asked him to let me stay by Jae Hyuk's side.
He must be so upset now.
Put yourself in his shoes. I bet he hates you for what happened.
I know.
That's why I feel so horrible.
But Jae Hyuk seems to be doing a little better. I'm relieved.
- Oh, no. - What's wrong?
I cooked rice with some other nutritious ingredients for Jae Hyuk,
but it's undercooked.
- Oh, no. - It's okay.
I'll add water, bring it to boil, and simmer it for a while.
Will that fix it?
A crust will be formed at the bottom, but the rice will be fine.
I see.
It's okay.
I'll add water, bring it to boil, and simmer it for a while.
Yes, I'll try bumping up the organic matter content.
(Peat)
(An accumulation of decayed vegetation or organic matter)
That's right, peat.
I should try adding it.
Tae Seok, So Won has been taking such great care of Jae Hyuk.
She's been going to the hospital every morning and evening...
to help him with his rehabilitation therapy.
Yes, I'm aware.
Who else would do that for him?
Even his family can't.
Tae Seok, So Won told me...
that she'll stay by Jae Hyuk's side for the rest of her life...
even if he doesn't fully recover.
What are you talking about? He will fully recover.
Yes. He will, of course.
What I'm saying is, that's how much she cares about him.
She truly loves and cherishes Jae Hyuk.
If he can walk again,
it'll be all thanks to So Won.
About Choi So Won...
I heard she's been going to the hospital every day.
Yes, apparently. I'm baffled.
Goodness.
She won't leave him even though he may not be able to walk again?
Does she still want to marry him?
I'm sure that's not the case. It's easier said than done.
Exactly. She's being like that now, but I'm sure she'll give up soon.
By the way, I spoke to Jae Hyuk's doctor on the phone earlier.
He said Jae Hyuk is recovering quickly.
What if he can walk again?
That won't happen. His legs are paralyzed, for goodness' sake.
That's right. I've looked into similar cases,
and it's rare to fully recover.
But if he's disabled for life, that will get on my nerves too.
Gosh, what a headache.
Peat?
Yes, sir. I added peat and processed it at a high temperature,
then let it steam for 24 hours.
I heard peat's moisture content is 90 percent.
Yes, it solved the humidity issue.
That's how you managed to bump up the organic matter content.
- That's correct. - Well...
How did you come up with this idea?
I was inspired by how my mom managed to fix undercooked rice...
by adding water and cooking it again...
while controlling the temperature.
Sir, we can reuse everything we initially thought we had to discard.
Great. Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Choi.
No problem, sir.
Oh, your nose...
Pardon?
- You have a nosebleed. - Sorry?
Gosh.
For now... Look.
- Use this. - Oh, okay.
Thank you, sir.
All right, be careful.
It's okay. You've walked quite a bit.
Just a little more.
A little more.
You did it.
Well done.
(2 months later)
Mr. Jeong paid us two million dollars,
which is part of what he owes us.
He did?
Isn't his company struggling financially? What happened?
I threatened him that I'd reveal all his illegal deeds...
and take legal action against him for framing me,
and he paid us back.
He promised that he'll pay back the rest...
when the factory site is sold.
Mr. Choi has been working very hard.
Thank you, Mr. Choi.
You're very competent.
Min Hyuk, you certainly have an eye for talent.
This is a great accomplishment.
I'm truly relieved to know that Noyu has...
such a competent employee like you.
Thank you for thinking highly of me, sir.
What? He paid us back?
Yes.
Isn't Mr. Choi so impressive?
The more I get to know him, the more I like him.
But the thing is,
I want to know who gave Mr. Jeong the orders.
He won't tell us.
He paid us back, so it's all good now.
No.
I must find out who framed Mr. Choi...
so that I can teach that person a lesson.
Right.
Your appointment with the ob-gyn is today, right?
Yes.
- You guys are back. - We're home.
What did the doctor say?
The baby is very healthy.
The baby's hands and feet are pretty big, Father.
Really?
Let me see.
- Goodness. - Hand it over.
This technology wasn't even imaginable when I had Min Hyuk.
It's so detailed.
Even the photo of the baby looks so adorable.
- Look at that. - Mom.
Doesn't the baby look like me?
- Are you that happy? - I am happy, of course.
Oh, right.
Jae Hyuk will be discharged today, right?
Yes, that's what I heard.
Gosh, my goodness.
Oh, dear. Is this really happening?
Thank you, Lord.
I can't believe this is actually happening.
I've been dreaming of this day.
Jae Hyuk.
Now that this has happened, I can die with no regrets.
Gosh, thank you.
Mother, please get up.
Okay.
- I'm proud of you. - You too, well done.
- Jae Hyuk! - Aunt Yu Jin.
- Mr. Get Out! - Hi, Ha Eun.
Mr. Get Out, are you all recovered now?
Yes, I'm fully recovered.
You held out so well. Congratulations on your recovery.
Thank you.
My dear nephew, you held out so well.
I want to apologize to you all for causing you so much concern.
Thanks for coming home safe and sound like this.
I'm truly happy and grateful.
I know that you were very worried about me.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
You fully recovered, so it's all good now.
Dad.
I was able to recover so quickly thanks to So Won.
Without her, I wouldn't have been able to get through it.
Yes. I am grateful to her for that.
But...
Are you still against our relationship?
Please approve of her now, Dad.
I can't. She has a kid, you know.
Ha Eun is such a sweet, beautiful kid.
You met her.
But it'll be different when she becomes your child.
Let's stop talking about this.
You should focus on building your strength back.
Jae Hyuk is back, fully recovered.
Should I be happy or what?
As soon as he came home,
he asked your dad to allow him to marry So Won.
To marry So Won?
So? What's Dad saying?
I don't think he'll say yes.
Thank goodness.
So Won, you're really amazing.
You must've been exhausted from having to look after me,
but you've accomplished a great deal for the fabric development as well.
I didn't do it alone.
Yoon Jin helped me out a lot,
and everyone on the technology team worked very hard as well.
I should also focus all my energy on the new fabric.
Yes. Let's work hard and do our very best.
I brought up our marriage to my dad again.
Don't try too hard. I'm happy with the way things are now.
Actually,
there's something I couldn't tell you back then.
It's about Eun Hye's accident.
What is it?
Mr. Park wasn't the only one.
Someone else is connected to the accident.
Who is that someone?
Yeon Su.
And Director Han as well.
What?
Ho Jin and I have been investigating the incident.
We found out about it during our investigation.
But how could they be connected to Eun Hye's accident?
That day, Yeon Su was at the scene as well.
A man dragged her out of a taxi.
I think that man was Director Han.
One more thing.
I saw him meeting with Detective Seo Jung Bae.
Come in.
It's the test report.
Why are you looking at me like that?
How exactly are you connected to Eun Hye's accident?
What?
Nothing. Go and get your work done.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
I should switch one of the old paintings with this one.
I should take this one down.
What is this?
Mother, you can't barge into my room like this.
I can't even come into my son's room?
I just wanted to put up the new painting.
Your son's married now, so this isn't just his room anymore.
I know I'm your daughter-in-law,
but I think basic manners are still important.
How dare you.
You think no one's above you now that you're pregnant.
Look at you on your high horse.
- Don't get me wrong. - Anyway,
what's that? Is it your slush fund or something?
It's a talisman.
I was told to leave it somewhere in the room to have a healthy baby.
You're really something.
Do you have another talisman for wishing death on me?
- Mother. - Forget it.
What's the point of arguing with you anyway?
Gosh, it could've gotten me in big trouble.
(Paternity Test Report)
(The probability of paternity is 99.99 percent.)
You're trying to find the hit-and-run driver, right?
Of course. I'm investigating the auto shops in the area as well.
But none of the people that left their cars for repair...
seems suspicious.
Maybe the driver took the car to an auto shop...
that's far from the scene to avoid being suspected.
That's highly likely. I should keep investigating.
I must find the person who did that to Jae Hyuk.
Yes, we must.
Oh, right. About the land in Mount Jiri...
I did some research on the landowner,
and the address is in Chicago.
Chicago?
Yes, which means the real owner is someone else.
I knew something was strange.
Right, Ho Jin.
I think the development of the new fabric can be completed soon.
Really? You're so impressive, So Won.
People are finally beginning to acknowledge my hard work.
I'm so happy.
Director Han used to belittle you all the time.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
I mean, he ransacked our shop to steal our technology.
How dare he belittle you?
What? Who ransacked our shop?
Director Han?
So...
Director Han was the scumbag...
that stole our technology?
No, Mom. That's not what happened.
He did try to steal it,
but the person who actually stole it is someone else.
- You said Tak Se Hoon stole it. - No, it wasn't him.
Then who did it?
It was Yeon Su.
What? Hwang Yeon Su?
Yes, she's the one who stole it.
Tak Se Hoon confessed.
Gosh, that evil witch.
She abandoned you and even stole our technology?
- I'm going to... - Gosh, Mom. Don't.
The chairman doesn't know yet.
So what? You want me to hold my anger back because of that?
And why doesn't he know yet?
We should tell him at once and humiliate her.
I have a plan.
I'll reveal it when the time's right.
Not now.
What do you mean? Why can't we reveal it now?
Mom, please.
Trust me and be patient.
Listen to Ho Jin, Mom. He'll take care of it.
So don't do anything, okay?
All right.
- Ms. Song. - Hey.
What brings you here unannounced?
How could you do such a thing?
You were the one who stole our technology?
You evil witch.
Because of you, my family lost everything!
- Ms. Song! - Let her go.
What's your problem?
Hey, she's pregnant. Have you lost your mind?
Let go. Let her go. I said, let go!
You're siding with your daughter-in-law?
I thought you couldn't stand her.
Are you okay?
What was that about?
Why are you causing a scene at our place?
What?
You thief.
Watch your words! How dare you call my son a thief.
Your son ransacked my shop!
You rat.
What is wrong with this ignorant woman?
Get out. Get out at once!
I won't leave, you thief.
How dare you sneak into my shop?
How could you do such a thing?
My daughter and I worked so hard to develop that technology.
How dare you try to steal it?
Hey! How could you grab my dear son by the hair?
Let go. I said, let go! Let him go!
Why you...
Let go!
- Ms. Song. - Let go!
Hammer Witch, you let go first.
Hey, you first!
Stop, please!
I refuse. Got a problem with that?
Hey! You're doing this when you still want...
to marry your daughter off to my family?
You want her to marry my son when she has a kid?
Listen, I will never allow your daughter to marry Jae Hyuk.
Gosh.
Hey, Mom probably went to speak with the chairman. What do we do?
I practically begged her to hold her anger in.
Mom.
Did you go to the chairman's house?
Yes, I did. I couldn't tame my anger.
Mom.
Gosh, Mom. What did you do?
I pull their hair out.
What about the chairman? I hope you didn't do that in front of him.
Don't you worry. He wasn't home.
Gosh, they're surely meant to be together.
When I grabbed his wife by the hair,
Director Han totally lost it.
So I grabbed his hair instead.
What?
That witch.
I want to rip her to pieces.
I would've killed her had she not been pregnant.
- Mom. - Yes, Ha Eun.
I have to pick up supplies before I go to the daycare tomorrow.
Let's go get them together. Put on your jacket.
Okay.
This is all your fault.
There hasn't been a quiet day since you and Min Hyuk got married.
By the way, how did she find out?
Mr. Choi made sure Tak Se Hoon would keep his mouth shut.
I bet Tak Se Hoon told some people about it.
Why do I have to put up with something like this?
All because of my daughter-in-law who I don't approve of.
- Hello, Father. - You're back.
Gosh, what happened to you guys?
What on earth did you guys do?
Well...
You know, we did some exercise.
Exercise?
Yes, prenatal exercise.
I have to do it to make sure my baby will be healthy.
I asked Min Hyuk and Mother to do it with me.
She's so passionate, Dad.
Goodness, what kind of exercise is this?
My gosh.
Gosh.
Oh, no. I forgot to bring my notebook.
I wrote down all the supplies that I need to get.
Where is it?
In my room. I'll run in and get it, Uncle Ho Jin.
- Wait here. - Okay.
That witch.
I hate myself for telling her to forget the past...
and live a happy life.
I was going to forgive her for her mother's sake,
but I no longer can.
And the hammer witch too. She's unbelievably mean.
Do you know what she said to me?
She called Ha Eun a burden...
and went on about how she will not allow you to marry Jae Hyuk.
Gosh, I'm so angry.
"Burden"? How could she say that?
That's what I'm saying.
But I thought about it on my way home,
and she's not entirely wrong.
Jae Hyuk's father would've allowed you two...
to get married if Ha Eun hadn't been in the picture.
Mom, don't say things like that.
I'm just upset, awfully upset.
Chances are, you may not be able to meet someone like him again...
if you can't marry him.
I'm a burden?
She called Ha Eun a burden...
and went on about how she will not allow you to marry Jae Hyuk.
Jae Hyuk's father would've allowed you two...
to get married if Ha Eun hadn't been in the picture.
