(Episode 27)
What is this, Yeo Jin?
It must mean you should put your death portrait in here.
What kind of a lunatic would send something like this?
There's a note, too.
"Shin Yeo Jin. Did you remember..."
"the excruciating pain you caused to many families?"
"It's now your turn to feel that excruciating pain."
This had died down for a while, but the blackmailing began again.
The item has been received by Chairwoman Shin.
What you sent wasn't shocking enough.
She wouldn't be shaken up over something like that.
Think of it like a jab.
Or a light appetizer.
The main dish will be rough, spiteful, and shocking.
It must've been someone like that man...
who made a scene at the inaugural ceremony.
Their failure ruined their business. Why are they blaming you?
Get rid of this.
And keep it quiet, even from Se Young.
Of course.
We still need to find the sender,
so I'll check the CCTV footage.
Why is she telling me to get rid of this ominous thing?
Goodness gracious.
Ms. Jang, please get rid of this.
What's that picture frame?
Someone sent her a frame adorned like a death portrait.
They're wishing for her death.
Ms. Chairwoman.
Are you all right?
No, I'm not all right.
I never cared about such threatening gestures, but not anymore.
Why did someone send me that as soon as I found Eun Chong?
Did you think those who held a grudge against me...
contaminated the DNA...
to prevent me from finding Yu Jin and caused the hit-and-run accident?
Ms. Chairwoman, we haven't found any evidence yet.
What if they sent me that threatening letter...
because they knew about Eun Chong?
Nobody knows that Eun Chong is your grandson,
and you can continue to keep it that way.
Yes, I'll keep it that way.
It's too dangerous to keep Eun Chong out there.
I need him here to keep him safe.
Yeo Jin, I checked the CCTV footage.
But just as I expected, the culprit wasn't caught.
Are you in shock? You don't look so well.
I'm fine.
Well, you won't report this to the police, will you?
You have to uphold an image, so these threats should be kept...
We'll keep this between us.
Of course.
She never even flinched whenever someone threatened her.
Why does she suddenly seem concerned?
What happened at your parents' memorial service must concern you.
I knew you told me not to bring personal feelings into work, but...
You can talk to me.
You seem like a winter tree, only full of bare branches.
Why don't you tell the truth to your family?
You've put too much burden on yourself.
People only believe what they see.
They think a winter tree is dying all alone...
and pity it.
But that winter tree may not be alone.
That tree knows...
that the wind and the sunlight...
continuously come to bother it.
That's why it can...
continue to stay strong.
I like it.
The wine is called Vernus. People usually have it to celebrate.
Everything will go well.
I have such a wonderful drinking buddy.
It still wasn't right to punch your older brother in the face.
I didn't think it was wrong.
Hey, Eun Chong. Am I at fault? Or is it Ji Seok?
You two are the same.
We aren't the same!
Right. But it's worse to use violence.
Ruining that table is also violence. He's the same as me.
You two are the same.
Two uncles got into a fight in front of their young nephew.
Eun Chong was so shocked that he wet his...
And you're proud of that?
Eun Chong, I'm sorry.
Then, you should make up with Uncle Ji Seok.
Why should I do that first?
Do I have to apologize first just because I'm younger?
Yes, Ji Seok was a hundred, no, a thousand times worse.
Even so, you can't hit him.
He shouldn't have done what he did to deserve the beating!
Did you ask him why?
Is the chairwoman his mortal enemy?
Anyway, you will apologize first.
I won't mention this again.
Gosh, come on. This is so annoying.
Why are you adding to this?
You rude punk.
Did you tell him to apologize to Ji Seok?
I did, but he won't listen.
That little punk.
Are you all right?
Did you wet your pants in your sleep last night?
I never wet my pants!
Why are you here?
May I borrow your dress this week?
I have a series of important meetings.
You should've taken it yesterday.
I forgot after that huge mess broke out.
Yes, right. I have huge news.
Ji Seok is seeing a woman.
He is?
Is Aunt Yeo Jin unwell?
I guess. She seemed a bit tired.
She's getting old, too.
She wasn't like how she used to be.
She looks perfectly well to me.
I'm opening the safe tomorrow.
Really?
She's going to the general assembly for the Business Federation.
I'll open it while she's gone.
I'm looking forward to finding out what's inside.
I was so scared we'd find files related to Yu Jin.
Don't be scared.
We have to know beforehand to either defend or attack first.
Did you sit around in the dark only to get backstabbed?
I'll put my faith in you, Mom.
Goodness.
Mom, can you please just buy something like this?
You have bad wrists, too.
I can do this much.
Then, make sure you take this.
You keep massaging yourself after doing chores around the house.
By the time you're my age, all your joints will begin to ache.
I get to live in good health thanks to my great son.
I'm an awful son.
I have a wonderful son. Stop badmouthing him.
Yes, Ms. Chairwoman.
I have to bring Eun Chong home as soon as possible.
Is something going on?
I had to let Yu Jin go in vain.
I felt anxious something might happen to Eun Chong, too.
Ms. Chairwoman, please relax.
We haven't found a lead on your daughter's accident,
- and Eun Chong wouldn't... - All right.
Come to my office as soon as you're at work tomorrow.
Yes, goodbye.
Did something happen to her?
She doesn't seem like herself.
Shin Yeo Jin. Did you remember...
the excruciating pain you caused to many families?
It's now your turn to feel that excruciating pain.
No, that won't happen. Never.
Come in.
- Ms. Chairwoman. - Yes, Jin Goo.
I gave this a thought.
If you take Ms. Goo in as your stepdaughter,
people will find out about your daughter's death.
If you said she was a distant relative,
Se Young's family wouldn't believe it.
It doesn't look easy.
I had such thoughts, too. I seemed to be out of options.
You might be able to find a way if you talked to Ms. Goo.
Why don't you set up a meeting with her and...
You must trust her a lot.
From what I've seen, she loves Eun Chong more than anyone.
Yes, but she's not alone.
Her siblings would have to keep the secret, too.
That's too dangerous, and I don't trust them.
Then, why don't you give it time and try to find another way?
Eun Chong will remain safe if he continues to stay with Ms. Goo.
The new landlord said we could stay?
Yes, only the name on the deed will change.
He'll keep the rent the same, too.
He won't even raise the rent? Are you serious?
Yes, you were truly blessed, Ha Na.
Well, the house was a bit old,
but my tenant kept the place neat and tidy.
- I like it. - I see.
Feel free to take a look around.
Hey, Ha Na.
May I have the new landlord's contact?
He'll contact you later.
I have to go now, Ha Na.
Okay. Thank you.
I really have been blessed.
You can continue to express your feelings for Eun Chong...
even as he stays with Ms. Goo.
I spent 20 years after I lost Yu Jin.
I wanted to reunite with her on this earth, but I couldn't.
Do you expect me to live as strangers...
with Yu Jin's only blood while he's right in front of me?
How can you say that?
You know how I feel better than anybody.
Of course, I know it very well.
But if you want to bring Eun Chong, you must trust Ms. Goo.
No, I cannot tell anyone that Eun Chong is my grandson,
even to Ms. Goo.
I have to bring them both...
while hiding the fact that Eun Chong is my grandson.
You won't tell Ms. Goo that Eun Chong is your grandson?
- That's impossible, ma'am. - There has to be a way.
I'll find it.
Ms. Chairwoman.
Business Federation's general assembly may be postponed.
The chairman of Daejin Group suddenly had to leave the country,
so key personnel already announced their absence.
Is that so? Tell them I also won't attend.
Let's go see Eun Chong.
Ms. Chairwoman, that could be dangerous...
Was I not allowed to meet my own grandson?
How can I consider myself his grandmother...
if I'm worse off than a stranger?
Goodness.
"Title: 'Lee Ha Na, Lee Du Na, Lee Se Na'?"
- You can go home. - Already?
Yeo Jin will be late, so you don't have to make dinner.
- You can go. - I'll finish mopping.
No, you can just go. Now.
Well, it's great for me to get off early.
- Come on. Go now, Bang Ul. - What's with you?
- My gosh. - Goodness.
Goodness.
Good grief.
Gosh, she's so clumsy.
Yes, are you on standby near my place?
You can come in 20 minutes.
Anyway, what's that picture frame wrapped in paper?
I saw funeral ribbons on it, too.
You saw that?
Some crazy punk sent that to Yeo Jin...
That was for the chairwoman?
Who would do something evil like that?
It must've been shocking.
Pretend like you never saw it and just go home.
Go now.
My gosh.
He teased him for not having a mom?
Yes, Eun Chong has a good relationship with his peers,
but there's one boy who often teases him for not having a mother.
They've been in a few fights because of that.
It must've been sad and miserable not to have a mom,
but that young boy had to put up with that, too?
It must've hurt him so much.
Thankfully, he seems to be brave and strong.
How brave and strong could a seven-year-old be?
Oh, the kids are walking out.
Hold each other's hand.
Let's go.
Oh, no!
- Eun Chong! - No, Ms. Chairwoman!
Grandpa Beard.
You should be careful, Eun Chong.
Are you all right?
Eun Chong, are you okay?
- Eun Chong, are you okay? - Eun Chong, are you okay?
Is he all right?
- Is he hurt? - No, ma'am.
Thankfully, he seems fine.
Check with the kindergarten...
and see if he was hurt even a little bit.
Yes, ma'am.
Was he in shock?
He went through a shocking event a few days ago.
All right, then. Goodbye.
Did your nephew get in trouble again?
I told you to refrain from taking personal calls at work.
It was from the kindergarten.
I'm sorry, but I ask for your understanding in this aspect.
How long will you say sorry?
How much longer do I have to understand?
You need to do your job right before you ask for a favor.
I told you to bring me a list of 100 vendors. Why is it still short?
I thought that would be enough...
"Enough?" Why do you make that decision?
You aren't the president or the team leader!
Who do you think you are to judge and decide?
Bring me 100 vendors before you go home today.
May I do it until tomorrow morning?
My nephew almost got in an accident, so I had to pick him up...
Stop using him as an excuse!
Yes, Mom.
The general assembly for Business Federation got canceled.
Is your aunt at work or not?
She just left with Ms. Jang.
Good grief. I'm hanging up.
- How much longer will it take? - The digital keypad was unlocked,
but the mechanical dial was...
a bit difficult to deal with.
You need to hurry.
The first number is...
I found it.
That was so shocking.
What a relief that Eun Chong wasn't hurt.
Yes.
Thankfully, that volunteer at the kindergarten was nearby.
Was that motorcycle going after Eun Chong?
Could it be the one who sent that picture frame?
No, Ms. Chairwoman.
He was a deliveryman passing by.
I must be too paranoid.
Wait, hey. You need to stop.
Hey, you have to come out. The chairwoman is here.
I already unlocked it.
- It's opened? - Yes.
Goodness. Let me see it.
Wait, what?
Why is it empty?
Yeo Jin, I heard the assembly for the federation was canceled.
He's here to read the gas meter.
- Thank you. - Sure.
You should have a cup of tea before you go inside.
That sly old woman.
Where did she put the files?
What's wrong, Ms. Chairwoman?
Yeo Jin, it's the chairman of Daejin Group.
Did you know why he suddenly went to America?
Their eldest son wasn't really his son!
What do you mean?
I thought he had lost him, then found him.
Everyone thought so.
But his real son died,
so that man isn't his real son.
The chairman's younger brother ran the parentage test and found out.
So, the chairman also knew?
Yes, the two staged everything together.
He asked that man to be his son.
He only had one son, so I understood why he did that.
But still, he deceived everyone for 20 years.
There will be a bloodbath in that family.
I expected her to come to the kindergarten.
But I'm afraid she'll try to take Eun Chong.
Will she do anything that'll make her grandson dangerous?
At first, I also thought so.
But I have a feeling she'll somehow find a way.
I don't know how I'm going to make her give up.
It won't be easy for her to bring her grandson home.
Let's keep an eye on her for a while.
"Grandpa Beard?"
Yes, he was the Santa who gave us presents at the kindergarten.
I've seen him, too.
Does he live around here?
Let me know when you see him next time.
And from now on, don't jump into the street...
no matter what you drop.
What if you get hurt?
A little boy like you tried to be a man...
and risked your life to grab your girlfriend's key chain?
Hey, who's more important? Your girlfriend or Auntie Ha Na?
Who'd be sadder if you got hurt? Your girlfriend or Auntie Ha Na?
Auntie Ha Na.
I'm sorry, Auntie.
I won't do that again.
- It's a promise. - It's a promise.
Should we rent out Auntie Ji Eun's room?
Yes!
How much can we get?
Do you also think it's okay to rent it out?
Yes, we'll have a new family!
Be honest. You're happy because we'll get money.
Well, that, too.
It'll be great if we have a grandpa and a grandma.
No, we'll pick a girl.
I don't think we can do that with you around.
What? What's so bad about me?
You punk.
- Stop it. Cut it out! - Come here!
You have to be careful, pumpkin. What if you got hurt?
I have to bring you home soon.
What can I do to bring you home safely?
What's she looking at with such loving eyes?
Is she looking at the file she pulled out of her safe?
What are you looking at with such loving eyes?
What loving eyes?
It's the stock market. It's not a lot of fun.
I'm home.
Come on in.
Let me get changed and come, Aunt Yeo Jin.
Sure.
You opened the safe, but nothing was in there?
It was completely empty.
She must've taken it elsewhere.
Jin Goo must know everything, but he'll keep his mouth shut.
His priority is Aunt Yeo Jin, not me.
He's only marrying me to repay her kindness.
That's nothing new.
It's a win-win situation for both of you.
Is it really a win-win situation?
What's wrong? Is something going on?
No.
Did you give up on tracking his location?
Yes, they sent him the web address on a burner phone,
but he wouldn't open it.
You'll either have to find out his password and install it...
or send him the address on Bang Ul's phone.
He'll open the website if it's from his mother.
What if we got caught?
I'll manage.
An empty death portrait?
Yes, it's like telling the receiver to die.
The chairwoman must've been in shock.
Something like that must happen a lot when you run a huge business.
Who was it from?
If she knew, she would've caught them already.
Was that why she became too anxious about Eun Chong's matter?
Yeo Jin.
Eun Chong's safety is the most important to us.
I understand how you want to keep him by your side.
But the truth behind Yu Jin's death hasn't been revealed yet,
so it'll be dangerous if you get too close to Eun Chong.
Please hang in there until I return to Korea.
Please.
You've sent me just an e-mail, not even a call?
So? When will you return?
You find other things more important than Eun Chong's safety.
If I were you, I would've returned immediately just to see him.
I don't need someone like you,
so don't ever show up again.
"An empty death portrait?"
- You didn't know? - Not at all.
Why didn't my mom tell me?
Mom, did someone send an empty death portrait to Aunt Yeo Jin?
How did you know?
- Was it Jin Goo? - Who was it from?
Give it to me.
Mother, it's me.
Who sent that, and why?
Who do you think? It must be those lunatics...
who enjoy harassing rich families.
Have you reported it to the police?
No, that will only start rumors around the neighborhood.
Just pretend like you don't know about this.
Goodbye.
Bang Ul must've told him.
I can't let the kids find out.
She said it was those who tried to damage her reputation.
Was it someone like that man at the inaugural ceremony?
Aunt Yeo Jin does a lot of good deeds.
Why do these people keep appearing?
It must've been scary.
Gosh, it's terrifying.
How did you know?
It must've been shocking. Are you all right?
Yes, it's not a big deal.
Who was it from?
Was it those who wanted to harm you,
like the man at the inaugural ceremony?
Who knows?
Was that why you wanted to hurry and bring Eun Chong home?
That has nothing to do with it.
I was just scared...
Eun Chong would be exposed to the smallest danger.
I already lost Yu Jin. I can't lose Eun Chong, too.
I thought about it, and I should take advantage of Ms. Goo.
I'll have to bring her home anyway.
Ms. Chairwoman.
I found out where your daughter is resting.
You did?
Where is it?
(The late Lee Du Na)
Ms. Chairwoman.
(The late Lee Du Na)
Yu Jin.
So, this was how you grew up.
We were finally reunited...
after 20 years of searching.
I didn't get to see how beautifully you've grown...
or when you gave birth to Eun Chong.
I didn't get to do anything with you.
I just want to hold you in my arms just once.
Mother-daughter time travel.
They'd go back to a place where they took a photo together as a child...
and take another photo in the same pose?
I like this idea.
Where did you get the inspiration?
Eun Chong and I recently went grocery shopping...
and went to a photo booth to take a four-cut photo.
I began to think it'd be nice to take the same photo when he grew up,
and thought it'd be the same for mothers and daughters.
Good for Eun Chong.
He has a wonderful mother-to-be like you.
A mother-to-be?
If a mother-to-be like that is on sale, I'd like to get one, too.
If we could really buy one, I'd love to get you one.
(The late Lee Du Na)
Don't worry about Eun Chong.
I'll keep him safe.
It would've been wonderful...
if you were by Eun Chong's side, not Ms. Goo.
No, I'll stop thinking like that.
I'll stop crying from now on.
I'll pull myself together, reveal the truth behind your death,
and keep Eun Chong safe, too.
The floor is too cold, ma'am.
Daisies?
Those were Yu Jin's favorite.
Wait, could it be Sung Ho?
Sung Ho must've been here.
He's the only one who knows that Yu Jin likes daisies.
Ms. Chairwoman, but he's in America.
Go and look for him. Check the CCTVs.
Yes, ma'am.
Sung Ho...
Yu Jin, you saw him, right?
Daddy was here, wasn't he?
Is something going on? You never meet me so suddenly.
I heard this place was popular among families.
Danny and you were my family,
and I wanted to play dad today.
Something came up for Danny today.
Please allow your son to pour you a cup of tea.
Yes, my son.
Thanks.
- Nothing is going on, right? - Of course not.
- Right. Chairwoman Shin... - Let's not talk about work today.
Let's only discuss things that a dad and his son would talk about.
Yes. Have you decided on a house to move to?
Yes, I've been looking.
Seoul was too crowded, so somewhere in Gyeonggi Province.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Ji Seok, your sister is raising my grandson.
How could fate become so twisted?
How am I going to resolve this feud between the two families?
I was honestly scared.
(Attorney Ko)
If it's an important call, I will step out for a moment.
No, you can eat.
Yes, Attorney Ko.
Yeo Jin was at the cinerarium?
She cannot check the CCTV footage.
Give her whatever reason to stop her from seeing that.
I think it was Sung Ho.
I got the contact information for the one in charge of the CCTVs.
I'll meet the person tomorrow and confirm.
Find out if Sung Ho returned to Korea in the last few days.
Yes, ma'am.
Yu Jin would want me to bring Eun Chong home.
No matter how close they were, he still grew up with a stranger.
A child under foster care?
But how can I hide the truth from Ms. Goo and bring him here?
His real son died, so that man isn't his real son.
The two staged everything together.
He asked that man to be his son.
A fake son.
Yes.
There's nothing I won't do to keep my grandson safe.
Ms. Goo.
You said you wanted to repay my kindness.
There's something you can do for me.
You need to be Yu Jin...
for Eun Chong's sake.
(Cinderella Game)
I found a way to bring Eun Chong.
You need to reconsider, Ms. Chairwoman.
There are no secrets in this world.
Why did you just walk out of there?
Because I live here.
Darn it. All of you!
I want to remove her to a place where I can't see her.
- Ms. Goo Ha Na. - She'll be my real daughter.
She'll instantly be like Cinderella.
How will you handle this?
In the end, this will be for her benefit.
Please help me.
No, it can't happen.
