It was paper cutting art. She was very good at that.
This is a photo of her winning in that competition.
Paper cutting art?
It's Sabina.
It's a photo of her winning at paper cutting art in the US.
Why are you showing me this?
I avoided my fate like a coward.
But I hope...
you will find what you want.
I think that photo will help you.
This is what I want.
I want to know who I am,
why I was abandoned,
and what happened to me.
I want to find myself.
Does this mean...
that Sabina and I...
have a connection?
Please tell me.
You must've had a reason for giving me this photo.
Frankly speaking,
ever since Sabina and I first met,
it felt odd.
"Eun Dong Joo"?
Is your name...
Eun Dong Joo?
Yes. Why do you ask?
It's nothing.
It was our first encounter,
but she seemed familiar.
She didn't seem like a stranger.
We kept running into each other even though I didn't want to.
It feels like fate.
Tell me.
I'm sure you know.
What is...
this relationship that we have?
Something happened...
between us...
in the past, right?
I can tell you one thing.
I learned it the hard way...
that no secrets can be kept forever.
You're right.
Sabina has the key...
to what you're looking for.
But I don't know...
what that is.
Secretary Han.
If it's true that you went to the Golden Garden Camp...
and remember the accident,
then perhaps,
all the secrets...
may have...
been created on that day.
So from now on,
you need to search for them.
Do you remember anything else...
about her?
Everyone knew her mom.
Her nickname was Steering Wheel.
Steering Wheel?
She sat her daughter on the passenger's seat...
and drove her to all sorts of academies.
She wanted her to go to Parsons School of Design.
She was very strict with her daughter.
I think she's talking about Sabina's mother.
What was her relationship with Lee Sung Wook like?
I was startled to hear...
that they were living together.
Dong Joo ran away from her mom and had nowhere to go.
He took her in.
He was a very kindhearted man...
who never caused any trouble.
He never caused any trouble?
I see.
(I, Choi Dae Sung, will never cheat on my wife again.)
(Director Choi Joon Ki)
"I, Choi Dae Sung, will never cheat on my wife again."
"If I don't keep my word,"
"I will shave my head and live in the mountains."
No, this is too boring.
Try again. Calm your heart.
Be sincere.
Gosh, what's wrong with my ears?
Goodness.
What kind of woman has such strong hands?
Did my eardrum burst?
What are you doing in my office?
Hey. What about you?
I thought you'd be at the hospital.
You were at a meeting, weren't you?
I told you.
Stay away from Mom whether it'd be at home or the office.
Joon Ki.
Even if I did something terrible,
our relationship by blood won't change.
I'm still your biological father...
and Jin Nam Hee's husband.
Stay at a hotel for the time being.
By the way, where is your mom?
I asked the hospital, but no one will tell me.
Secretary Kim, please get the car ready.
Go to a hotel, okay?
Gosh, he's acting so hard to get.
Mamma Mia.
Okay.
How is she?
We need to give her more time.
Doctor.
I wanted to speak with you.
I'm glad you're here.
You wanted to speak with me?
I have one favour to ask of you.
The chairman's condition is very serious.
She needs absolute rest,
so please keep her stress-free.
What do you mean she isn't well?
Does she have an illness?
You should ask your mother.
Yes.
Mother.
Are you awake?
Mom, do you know where you are?
We're at the hospital.
You were too worked up, so you were given some sedatives...
and have been sleeping for a few days.
Do you not remember anything?
You. How could you?
How dare you in my house?
- How dare you in my house? - Mother!
In my own house!
How dare you?
Honey.
I'm here.
Father.
Dad.
Go on, now.
Honey, these are your favourite flowers.
Honey, are you feeling all right?
I couldn't sleep for days on end.
I was worried sick about you and couldn't eat either.
Get him out of my face.
Come on, the kids can hear you.
Hurry. His voice alone...
makes my blood boil.
Let's go.
Wait, let me go. I need to say something.
Honey.
Once you hear me out, you'll understand.
I also need to be hospitalized because I can't hear well.
I think it's because you hit me.
- Please go. - Honey.
I feel wronged. I've been nothing but loyal for the past 30 years.
Honey!
Mother.
Bring me that wench.
Whom are you talking about?
Secretary Han.
Doctor, Ms. Eun Dong Joo is here.
It's nice to meet you. Sit down.
I wanted to see you regarding Chairwoman Jin's condition.
Yes, I heard.
You've heard of MS, right?
Please read this.
(Multiple Sclerosis, Caregiver's Guide)
The chairwoman is looking for you.
If your condition improves, you'll be discharged in two days.
I'll take care of the company,
so focus on getting better.
You. How dare you come in here?
Leave.
Mother.
You don't need to speak with her. I'll do it.
Now.
All right, we'll be right outside.
Come...
and raise me up.
I'm sorry.
I truly am.
Do you know...
why...
I...
called you over?
I wanted to check if I was dreaming.
I wanted to check if this was a nightmare.
If it was, I wanted to wake up.
You should know well...
that there are...
only two people in my life.
Joon Ki...
was there during my happy days.
And you...
You were there when I was going through...
the toughest times.
You were...
the only friend I could rely on.
You were like my husband and my daughter.
You were...
my other half.
So how could you?
How could you do this to me?
How? How could you do this?
If I think about what you did,
the fury and betrayal that I feel are inexplicable.
I can't believe...
that you've been faking everything for the past 30 years.
Ma'am...
I've accepted your letter of resignation,
let me say one more thing.
From this moment on,
you are...
considered dead to me.
Don't you ever...
show yourself in front of me again.
And...
don't you dare...
blabber to anyone about me.
Whether it'd be about our family...
or my condition.
Do you understand me?
Don't worry, ma'am.
I fully understand.
A new secretary will be here in two days.
Get out.
Please forget me...
and...
regain your health.
Don't you ever approach her again.
If I see you again, I won't forgive you.
Remember that.
Do you finally see?
There's no such thing as happiness if you're full of lies.
What?
What are you saying?
You broke our promise.
In exchange for keeping your identity a secret,
you said you wouldn't tell the chairwoman about me.
It wasn't me.
- It was... - Your mom's doing.
Am I right?
You will surely pay...
for breaking the promise. I can assure you.
Where are you, Mom?
We need to talk.
Hello, Sabina.
Oh, my. Aren't you Ms. Eun Dong Joo?
What brings you here?
I had some business to attend to.
I see.
This is the VIP floor.
Is an acquaintance of yours ill?
Please, after you.
You will surely pay for breaking the promise.
No secrets can be kept forever.
Sabina has the key...
to what you're looking for.
Gosh, that was a swarm of customers.
Right. During the summertime,
beer and chicken make the best combination.
Hey. What do you think about her?
Who is she? A new part-timer?
She's extremely pretty.
She got her PhD in the States.
Her father is a lawyer, and her mother is a professor.
Hold on.
Is she...
Pil Seung's blind date?
Goodness, you truly are quick.
She's Pil Seung's junior from school.
Ever since she was young, she was in love with him.
My goodness!
Have you gone insane?
- Goodness! - Grandma.
Do you not have any loyalty?
If you chose Dong Joo, you should push forward with her!
How could you think about introducing another wench...
to him just because of one problem?
- I mean... - If I ever see this wench,
I will pull out all her hair!
Darn you.
They broke up long ago!
Goodness, you. Hey.
You move on by meeting someone new.
And you fill up your heart with a new lover.
Stop with your nonsense! Goodness.
Says who?
I've chosen him as my brother-in-law,
so don't you dare touch him!
Be quiet!
How can I get them back together?
I'm going to burn this.
I'm sure she's Sabina.
Their mothers acted the same way,
and they both majored in arts at Parsons.
How could all of this be a coincidence?
Should I summon her as a testifier and do an interrogation?
How will you prove that Sabina is Eun Dong Joo?
Does that mean we should just sit still?
Who said we are?
I've planned everything out.
I have such a great sixth sense.
See? My mole is calling me right away.
- Let's go. - Where?
You'll know once you get there.
Come out.
Coming.
Please wrap this up for us.
What's his name?
Choi Sang Sik.
So he's been absent for a few days?
He was never the diligent type,
but he suddenly started spending a lot of money.
He got a new car.
He gambles with horses, boats,
and bicycles.
He even goes abroad to gamble.
Horse racing, boat racing, and cycling.
Is he an addict?
I'll put him on the wanted list.
Do you have his resume?
Hold on.
(Hansun Transportation Supports the Handicapped)
How did you know?
Lee Sung Wook hasn't been on the radar...
for the past three months, has he?
No, not even a bit.
Even though he stole a lot of money,
he's never used his card or went to a hospital.
Neither Immigration nor CCTV cameras have caught him.
If he's actually missing and not lying low,
the money must be here.
He had to return his taxi, so he came here with the money.
But we already looked everywhere.
Well...
I'm sure Choi Sang Sik knows the truth.
(Ddobong's Fried Chicken)
Eat this and stay here.
And after school, come straight here, got it?
Why?
I'm going to marry off Dong Joo.
You must help me.
Mid Eum, what is that?
This? It's called paper cutting art.
My teacher taught me how to do this because I was good at cutting paper.
Is this fun for you?
Why? Is it not for you?
I feel like my eyeballs will pop out just by looking at you.
And when I cut them one by one,
my fingers sometimes cramp up.
When I was young, we had many of these at home.
We had many mobiles and frames.
Seriously? Where did you get them?
Did your dad make them?
No.
My mom had left them behind.
You must take after your mom a lot.
You both like to do this.
Grandma, I'm...
Why are you guys here?
- We're going to marry off... - What?
I'm... I'm doing my homework.
Really?
Did you do this?
Yes. It's called paper cutting art.
It was paper cutting art. She was very good at that.
They say that kids take after their parents' talents.
Mid Eum.
Next time, bring your toothbrush.
My toothbrush?
Why did you bring the kids here?
You're in big trouble.
What is it?
Your arch enemy who will ruin your life has finally appeared.
What do you mean?
Pil Seung is going on a blind date this Saturday.
Look at you.
You're still not over him.
Your face has changed colour in an instant.
- It's not like that. - Don't lie.
That woman...
got a PhD in the States.
And she has a lawyer and a professor as parents.
She's in a different league from orphans like us.
Good for him. He found a great woman.
I'm leaving. Mid Eum.
Why are you here?
I'm here to pick up the kids.
Let's talk first.
I have nothing to say to you.
But I do!
Hurry up and talk. I need to go.
When will you start working there?
Why are you prying into my personal life?
It's not because I'm concerned about you.
It's for my investigation.
In two days.
That's great.
There's something...
you need to do there.
And what is that?
You're not sane, are you?
I begged you.
Their family finally became happy, so I wanted you to wait.
Joon Ki finally felt happy for the first time in his life.
Was this necessary?
Answer me, will you?
Because of you, our family is in chaos.
"Our family"?
Have you already given your heart to him?
No matter how great Joon Ki was, I told you to never give your all.
Mom.
If you give him everything that you have,
you'll easily be betrayed.
Is that why you kicked out Secretary Han?
You didn't care what happened to the family.
Didn't you tell me...
that she knew you were Eun Dong Joo?
So how could you let her stay?
We had to kick her out before she spilled everything.
Do you know what she said before leaving?
"There's no such thing as happiness if you're full of lies."
"You will surely pay for breaking the promise."
Do you think I'll be safe after she's cursed me?
What?
How dare she blabber like that?
Are you a fool?
Did you just stand still and listen?
You should've ended her then and there!
Have you forgotten?
If I provoked her...
and she revealed my identity to the family,
I'd be done for.
I've strived so much to reach this far.
My life is going to be ruined because of you.
Mom!
Do you think I sent that photo recklessly?
Don't you worry.
I have the key...
to keep her mouth shut.
What are you planning to do?
I'm going to make sure she knows her place...
so she won't blabber ever again.
Don't you worry about that...
and focusing on being in Chairwoman Jin's favour.
She just lost her right hand.
She must be nervous, lonely, and afraid...
since she has no one to rely on.
Use this opportunity to win her over completely.
Got it?
Are you sure...
everything will be okay?
No one...
can torment me anymore, right?
Of course.
Now,
everything is solved.
Completely.
(Episode 30 will air shortly.)
Her toothbrush?
Yes, Sabina's toothbrush.
Why need do you need her toothbrush?
I told you, it's for an on-going investigation.
You're asking me to steal on my first day at work,
but you won't tell me why?
You just can't help yourself, can you?
Just bring the darn thing, all right?
Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
Forget it.
We can go home by ourselves.
I'm not offering for your sake.
The kids are probably tired, that's why.
The kids are sleeping, so let's turn down the AC.
I'm just saying this as a warning.
Don't you even think about drunk dialling me at night.
"You just suddenly popped into my head."
Then block my number. I'll ignore yours too.
Are you insane?
Keep our business side of things separated.
Since we're on this investigation together,
we must stay in touch.
Fine.
Don't call this Saturday though. I'm going on a blind date.
She's prettier than you and has a better figure.
She's even more kind and generous.
Good for you then.
She must be a sweetheart to tolerate that temper of yours.
What?
Let's talk outside.
So tell me.
What do you have against my temper?
I've always thought so,
but your personality is truly unattractive.
See an ear doctor too.
You always yell whenever you want.
It's as if you have trouble hearing yourself.
What about you?
Never have I ever come across a woman as idiotic as you.
How so?
What makes me such an idiot?
You still haven't learned, have you?
I'm handsome, fit,
and I have a grandmother who owns three buildings in Gangnam.
That's not all. I have a job women want their husbands to have.
I'm a detective!
Losing me was the biggest mistake of your life.
You'll regret it for the rest of your life.
You're not the only one with a respected job.
I have one too, you know.
I'm a caregiver!
Dong Joo, please.
Please stop.
You've argued enough.
Right.
We weren't arguing, guys.
Let's go.
Don't be absurd...
and get in the car.
I'll drive you home.
Forget it.
You're busy seeing other women, so we'll just walk home.
Let's go, Sa Rang. I'll carry you.
Come on.
Mid Eum, come on.
What a temper.
Fine!
Try walking uphill with a kid on your back.
I can't believe he's going on a blind date so soon.
Breaking up with me must've not meant anything.
You won't even care that I'm seeing another woman?
Well, I guess it's over then.
Why does she look so gaunt though?
You know what? Forget about it.
Why would I care if she's gaunt or not?
Our relationship is strictly business now.
(Baby Journal, Han Soo Mi, Yeol Moo)
That audacious cow.
How dare she threaten my daughter.
She has a married brother and a nephew.
From what I hear, the nephew's the apple of her eye.
Is this Lee Yu Jeong Obstetrics?
I called to ask something.
If a baby journal starts with the numbers 55297,
what year would the baby have been born?
Life is meaningless, isn't it?
Look at what's become of the once great Choi Dae Sung.
How pathetic.
I can't believe you bowed after seeing my expression.
Because of you, I was kicked out of the house and the company.
The world is spinning due to dehydration right now.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you have to ask that?
I hit rock bottom because of you,
so here's my last warning.
If by any chance...
that last piece of critical evidence ever surfaces,
it'll be over for all of us.
You, me,
and even the boy.
Do you understand?
Not by my hands but my wife's.
Then, don't worry.
I won't ever reveal the truth to anyone.
Let me also give you a warning too.
I never asked your permission to have the boy,
so mind your own business.
If he gets hurt in any way because of you,
I won't have anything to be scared of. Got it?
Gosh, what did I ever do...
to warrant this amount of hate from everyone?
Dad, it's me.
Right.
What brings you by?
Aunt Soo Mi said she wanted to talk.
So where's Ms. Oh?
Why do you always ask for her every time you're here?
- Do you perhaps... - No, it's like I said before.
I'm checking on her because she's on probation,
- Excuse me. - Welcome.
Are you here to buy a bed?
Yes,
Ms. Han Soo Mi recommended this store.
Is that so?
He must be your son.
Oh, right.
He's my one and only son.
You're a handsome one, aren't you?
Could I perhaps get a name?
It's Han Ki Young.
Han Ki Young?
And your age?
I know a few nice young ladies...
that could be a great match.
Is that so?
He was born in 1991, so he's at a perfect age to marry.
In 1991?
Of course.
Aunt Soo Mi.
You're here.
What...
are you doing here?
She said she knew you.
Hello, Ms. Han.
How is it that you never mentioned...
having such a handsome nephew?
Come to think of it, you two look quite alike.
Tall and slender.
Don't you agree, Ms. Han?
Let's talk outside.
Sure.
I hope we meet again, Mr. Han.
Sure.
What are you so upset about?
Did I somehow cross the line today?
Why are your hands shaking when all I did was meet your nephew?
What is it?
He must be more than just a nephew.
Why are you doing this to me?
Getting me fired wasn't enough...
so you're going after my family?
That's right. Families are precious.
Your blood boils even hotter if it involves...
the child you gave birth to.
But...
even though you know this,
you babbled with that mouth of yours.
What on earth are you talking about?
There's no use playing dumb with me.
No matter how hard...
you tried to conceal him,
I know very well that Han Ki Young...
is the son you gave birth to and that his father...
is Choi Dae Sung.
Look here!
1991, Lee Yu Jeong Obstetrics,
mother Han Soo Mi,
baby's nickname Yeol Moo.
That's not all.
You three were acting like a happy family...
while deceiving the entire world,
and I saw it with my own two eyes.
Stop it!
Please stop.
So what do you want?
- Don't you know? - What is it?
Keep your mouth shut and live a quiet life.
If anyone touches my little girl,
I'll make sure that someone ends up in their own blood.
My gosh. You truly are...
That's right. No matter how hard you try,
you will never be a match for me.
So don't even think about taking me on...
and stay quiet like I told you.
Got it?
You should watch it too.
If you...
hurt Ki Young in any way, I won't let it slide.
The fact that Sabina is Eun Dong Joo...
Sabina, I'm sending you a photo right now.
Show that to Chairwoman Jin.
What do you think you're doing?
(Baby Journal)
Like I said,
don't push your luck.
Sabina, I just put an end to it.
Han Soo Mi won't ever talk,
so use this chance to win over Chairwoman Jin.
My goodness. I thought you were just a pretty face,
but you're an outstanding cook as well.
Mother should eat and get her strength back.
Mom's here.
Mother.
- Right. - I know this hasn't been easy.
So has my guest arrived yet?
Your guest?
My new assistant will be here. Have her wait in my study.
Shouldn't you have something to eat though?
No, I'm afraid I don't feel like eating.
A new assistant? Who's that?
I only just heard about it myself.
When did she hire someone?
This is upsetting.
I thought this would be my chance to get closer to your mom.
Don't worry. The seat by her side will always be reserved for you.
Right?
I'm her one and only daughter-in-law.
No personal assistant can ever take my place.
That must be her.
Are you the new assistant?
Ms. Eun Dong Joo?
Hello, Sabina,
I'm here to see the chairwoman.
Are you perhaps the new...
That's right and I hope we get along.
This is for the chairwoman.
She doesn't have much of an appetite right now.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.
Did you meet with Dr. Lee?
Yes, I know what I was hired to do,
and I'm still receiving training.
I had to hire you sooner than expected,
so we'll have to work together to make things easier.
I'll be taking some time off due to health reasons,
so you'll also come to work here.
Yes, ma'am.
You need to eat something before your shots,
so I made some porridge.
I really can't eat anything right now.
I'm afraid you'll have to at least have a bite.
I figured you wouldn't have an appetite,
so I made your favourite, mushroom and oyster porridge.
It's quite good, so please try one bite of it.
You're relentless, aren't you?
It's good.
Here. Let me take that.
Mother, I'll bring over some side dishes.
No, this is more than enough.
Also, can you leave the room so that we can talk in private?
Yes, of course.
All right.
Am I qualified to take the shot now?
My medical condition must be kept a secret...
even to my family.
Yes, ma'am.
No way. This is insane. How can we cross paths again?
This is absurd.
Mom, we're in trouble.
Oh, here you are.
Aren't you at all fazed to see Eun Dong Joo here?
What do you mean?
What qualifications does this woman have...
to be Mother's personal assistant?
She has no experience as one...
and never studied how to be one in school.
She's only had part-time jobs and a few gigs as a caregiver,
so why on earth did your mother hire her?
She's a caregiver?
What do you mean she isn't well?
Does she have an illness?
You should ask your mother.
Are you even listening to me?
I asked around and my mother hired her personally.
You should just trust her.
How can I when I have a bad feeling about this?
Nothing's ever gone smoothly when she was involved.
At the night of the car accident,
we ran into her.
She also wrongfully accused me of being Eun Dong Joo.
I'm sure she took this job for another reason.
She seems to be close to some detective.
If she finds out something...
My mom hasn't fully recovered yet.
She could be here as a caregiver, so please understand.
But Joon Ki!
Don't you remember what I said during our honeymoon?
Your lives must be entwined by fate...
if you keep on bumping into each other like this for no reason.
She hasn't done anything wrong yet,
so let's see how this plays out.
Don't even mention it.
I lost everything in Macau and now I'm broke.
I'll probably be on the run, so can you spare me some cash?
Must you be so stingy?
Choi Sang Sik!
Please come down to the station with us.
What now? What did I do wrong?
Lee Sung Wook's bag full of money was found at your mother's house.
Darn.
Okay, fine.
- What? - Here.
Hey!
Stop!
Get back here.
Just come with us quietly to the station.
You should've listened.
So Lee Sung Wook isn't on the run but missing for sure.
Right.
We'll soon find him.
The chairwoman is asleep.
Please hand me that.
Bring me Sabina's toothbrush.
Everyone must've stepped out.
Director Choi went to the office...
and Ms. Sabina went to buy a cake for the chairwoman.
I see.
Please, excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.
Where's Ms. Eun?
She mentioned the bathroom. Isn't she on the first floor?
Were...
you looking for me?
That's right.
I wanted to tell you something.
Don't bring food for my mother-in-law anymore.
I can't let her have something...
that I don't know the contents of.
Do you understand?
I don't.
Managing her food intake is part of my job.
I'll follow a nutritious diet, so don't you worry.
Anyway, I'll be heading home now.
It's me. I got what you asked.
Where are you now?
I'm at Chairwoman Jin's house.
Good.
I'm on my way to the precinct, so I'll stop by.
Text me the address.
Ma'am? Ma'am!
Did you call for me?
Did you clean this bathroom?
My toothbrush is missing.
No, I don't know anything about it.
Is that so?
Okay, then.
Is he thinking of testing Mid Eum's DNA...
against Sabina's DNA?
This photo suggests that she studied in the US though.
When on earth could she have had him?
I should discuss it with Detective Cha.
Ms. Eun.
What are you doing?
Isn't it obvious? Give me your bag.
Why are you trying to go through my purse?
(Golden Garden)
