(Episode 38)
What do you want?
Hold a press conference...
and tell the whole world you staged...
the sexual assault charges.
What if I say no?
Really?
Then, I'll show this infertility record to Grandmother.
Why do you do this to me?
My Do Eun, I got home early today.
Hye Won.
It's me, your sister. Hye Ji.
Lee Hye Ji.
It's me, Hye Ji. Lee Hye Ji.
Dad already knows!
My Do Eun, are you asleep?
Hye Won, please.
Please move your foot. Please.
Later. I'll explain everything later.
If I told the family that I was actually your sister, Hye Ji,
it'd cause a bigger turmoil.
Please.
We can't do this now.
Hey.
What brings you to the annex? Where's Do Eun?
Did something happen between you and her?
You're home.
You got home early.
You should go, Daughter.
We can continue our discussion tomorrow.
I'll do as you wish.
Hye Won.
It's me, your sister. Hye Ji.
Lee Hye Ji.
It's me, Hye Ji. Lee Hye Ji.
Dad already knows!
(Dad)
Where are you, Dad?
I'm on my way to your home.
I have to talk to you in person.
I'll be there soon.
I can't believe Bae Do Eun was my sister, Hye Ji.
This can't be right.
Mommy's sorry.
Pull it together, Hye Won.
Where's Hye Won?
She went out in a hurry.
This late? Where did she go?
She went to see her father.
I just talked to her on the phone.
My father-in-law must be unwell.
She'd go through fire for her old family's sake.
She went to talk to Dad right away?
Well, it must've been shocking.
If you were coming home early, we could've taken the same car.
Sit down. Let's eat dinner.
Grandma, I'll get changed and come back downstairs.
I have something to report...
regarding the project in China.
Sure, let's talk.
I'll eat with Hye Won when she comes.
Why won't Ji Chang talk to you?
Did something happen between you two?
I was a bit harsh on him during the board meeting.
Goodness, Mother. You should eat.
I'll tell you after dinner.
Mother.
I decided to do as you wanted.
I don't want to get into a scandal and taint YJ's name...
by going abroad to give birth.
I wasn't familiar with the ways of the world,
so I only focused on raising my Gold Nugget well.
Hye Won was right in saying I shouldn't cause any trouble.
That was a huge plot twist,
but there was no foreshadowing that led to this conclusion.
I always knew you had no filter,
but you always seemed to misunderstand me.
"Misunderstand?"
I'm not the type who blurts out random things...
without thinking.
That wasn't what I meant. Please show me some favor too.
Was that why Hye Won was in the annex?
She talked you out of going abroad?
If you want to give birth abroad, you can do as you wish.
Yi Chul.
I understand how much you adore your pregnant young wife,
but you need to come to your senses.
Yes.
You should've told me...
that Bae Do Eun was Hye Ji!
It was too preposterous, so I couldn't tell you.
I already knew about your situation.
That was all the more reason to share this with me!
You already knew...
how far Hye Ji went to harass Mother!
Not only did she drive her out,
she even framed her for sexual assault!
She said it wasn't her doing, but it was!
Wait, what you said means...
Hye Ji always knew you were her sister.
Why didn't she tell you?
Wait, did she hide this from you to become the lady...
of the YJ family?
I told Hye Ji that I must share this with you,
but she had a position to hold and said she'd kill herself...
if I told you and jumped in front of a car.
What position?
Then, what will happen now?
Bae Do Eun...
No, Hye Ji is pregnant too!
Yes, that was another reason why I couldn't tell her.
I couldn't hold my head up in front of the late Ms. Oh,
but I had to consider Hye Ji's life now that she was pregnant...
Hye Ji faked her pregnancy.
I confirmed it myself,
and I have her medical record that says she's infertile.
What?
Is this true?
A condition in her uterus is preventing her from having a baby.
She's wearing a fake baby bump, pretending to be pregnant!
"Uterine anomaly?"
What is Hye Ji up to, pretending like she's pregnant...
when she isn't?
She must be planning to find a surrogate mother,
pretend like she had a baby, and deceive your in-laws.
Dad, I already made a decision on my way here...
to separate this problem from my emotions.
I must share this with my in-laws,
and Hye Ji has to leave the YJ family.
What about you? What will happen to you?
What if your in-laws kick you out with her?
If I must pay in any way, I shall.
I have no idea how I'll face Ji Chang at home.
If I were him who found out my sister was the one...
who did that to his mother's life,
I'd dread me too.
What will I say to my late mother-in-law...
when I see her on the other side?
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have sent young Hye Ji to that woman.
It looked like she ruined Hye Ji's life.
I'm about to faint in shock.
How in the world did Hye Ji live...
and become such a shameless woman who did something this bizarre?
Hye Won.
What if we just cover this up?
And it's not for Hye Ji's sake.
What about your life? You didn't do anything!
Aunt Min Sook, I can't live with two different hearts.
I don't want to be an embarrassment to my baby.
I won't let this go just because Bae Do Eun is Hye Ji.
And the things I'll expose from now on...
cannot stay hidden.
What?
The things you'll expose?
What else is there to expose?
I'm finally facing the moment I've dreaded.
Dad is tormented by guilt,
so he'll probably stay quiet if I continue to show my anger.
Hye Won is the problem.
Can I persuade her by coaxing her and crying?
I know she won't even flinch, saying I'm making up excuses.
She's so annoying and dreadful!
I need to do whatever it takes to keep Hye Won's mouth shut.
Ms. Bae, I brought your water.
I kept other bottles in your refrigerator.
How many times do I have to tell you...
to fill up the fridge and make sure I don't run out of premium water?
I'm sorry. The honorary chairwoman put a limit on the premium water.
You may leave.
Right.
Is my daughter-in-law back?
No, not yet.
Let me know when she returns.
Don't tell her that I want to know.
- Go. - Yes, ma'am.
I get to drink mineral water that costs 400 dollars per bottle.
I'm not giving up on this life.
How does she call herself my sister if all she does is threaten me?
What can I do to make no one believe her...
and kick her out?
Should I escape for a while?
What can I do to turn the tables around?
Ji Chang has a passionate drive,
but he gets too ambitious.
There's quite a cultural gap between us and China,
so there's a big chance for problems to arise...
in business and customs.
It sounds like an opposition for the opposition's sake.
Do you think so?
It is so.
I'll create a task force to prevent risks,
recruit more staff in China,
and cooperate to make this happen.
I don't understand why you're opposing the project...
before you had a chance to review this.
Why should we decline their offer for the mineral mining project?
Minister Cha, Ji Eun's father, has built connections in China...
for the last decade, and they promised to back us up.
This is a huge opportunity for YJ Group.
We must seize this chance.
If Minister Cha is in this project as your middleman,
it sounds trustworthy.
Let's say that's the case.
How will you find the funding?
We can use cash, liquidities, our stakes in subsidiaries,
and the slush fund we have left...
in Boram Childcare Facility.
That means we'll most likely run out of cash.
I believe YJ will not have a future...
if we do not decide to change to achieve this goal.
We'll only run in place.
It was about time we built YJ into a bigger business...
before I lost my brightness.
You've pushed through countless difficulties,
and you're more determined than anybody.
I'm your grandson.
I wish to strengthen and grow YJ Group,
which you have founded.
Change is good.
It broadens your mind.
And success only comes with a broader mind.
Let us try this out.
Please excuse me.
You.
How dare you get cheeky and double-faced before me?
Father.
My mother's side provided support...
for YJ to grow this big.
That means...
much credit is due to my mom.
You should recognize that.
So?
You'll change the power dynamics to center around you?
Father.
Do you know when people become desperate?
When they run out of backup plans.
You're no longer my backup plan,
so I must take charge of my own future.
It'd be better to have everything figured out...
before my sibling was born.
People say the biggest enemy for those in power are close associates,
and for conglomerates, their children.
Do you wish to become my enemy?
You're late. I thought you said you'd be home soon.
I apologize, Father.
What's going on?
Why does Father look so angry?
Let's go upstairs.
Hye Won, I made a decision.
What? To do what?
I will drive my father out of the company.
Our baby isn't born yet,
so it still doesn't feel real that I'm a dad.
But I do know one thing.
That a parent...
would prioritize their children's lives.
If he had any consideration for me, his son,
he wouldn't have kicked out my mom...
and invited that woman who was young enough to be his daughter...
to move into the place where my mom had lived.
Wait and see...
how it all ends for my father...
and Bae Do Eun.
They made my mom shed tears of blood,
so it'd only be fair if they also shed tears of blood.
No.
I'll pay them back twice and much more.
Ji Chang...
I was hurt again and again,
but I stayed patient for my time.
And the time has come.
I will abandon my father mercilessly...
for abandoning my mom...
and trample all over Bae Do Eun,
who framed her for sexual assault.
What happened in the living room?
People say you can have a child but never know them,
and they're totally right.
Did Ji Chang rub you the wrong way? What did he say?
He's now coming at me directly for doing everything to his mother.
He was determined to make me fall into trouble.
He began to show his intention even before my mother.
And Mother sat there and let him do that?
My old woman...
put in a tremendous effort to build up this business alone,
so she prioritizes what's practical for the business.
I'm sorry for coming between you and your son.
Do Eun.
I never regretted choosing you,
not even for a moment.
And if I'm in love with you, it means I'll do everything for you.
I never got to make any choices in my life.
I went to the school my mother wanted me to go to.
I wanted to be a violinist...
but had to work at her business.
I also married a woman Mother wanted me to marry.
The only choice I ever made was...
just you, Do Eun.
I'll be good to you.
I won't be harsh on you even after you grow old.
Okay. You make me laugh, my Do Eun.
Honey, please don't take this the wrong way and hear me out.
He's walking all over you because you are kind and gentle.
He should learn to fear you as your son.
Of course, you should be open for reconciliation,
but show him who the boss is.
How can a father fight for power with his son?
You need to tame him.
Our Gold Nugget will come to this world soon.
I want you to be a powerful father.
I should do that.
I'll brace myself before Gold Nugget is born.
I won't condone Ji Chang's unruly behavior.
Ji Chang, Hye Ji may be my sister,
but she'll have to pay for what she did.
What I'm scared of is you.
The shock that'll come over you...
and the resentment you'll direct toward me.
I keep telling myself it's something I must deal with,
but to be honest, I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
Don't forget your promise to do as I said.
Come to the park nearby tomorrow morning.
It's belated, but it's time for you to behave sensibly.
She's not a girl who'll let me off...
just because I kneel and beg.
If I can't fight her head-on,
I shall make a detour.
You probably didn't get any sleep either.
What will you do with me?
You can't fool everyone forever.
I didn't know things would become like this.
I dated Yi Chul before I knew he was your husband's father.
I later found out you were his daughter-in-law,
but I didn't want to let him go.
That was why I didn't tell you I was Hye Ji.
That's not what I'm talking about!
Fine.
I framed her with sexual assault.
I admit that.
I wanted to be a part of the YJ family,
but Ms. Oh wouldn't divorce him.
I wanted to do whatever I could to push her out.
That was why I pretended like I was pregnant,
although I was infertile.
I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to find and raise a baby...
who was abandoned by their parents, just as I was.
So what? Are you asking me to take part in your crimes?
All you have to do is stay quiet and not make an issue of this.
I'll live the rest of my life with guilt for Ms. Oh.
I'd say I had a miscarriage...
and call my pregnancy off too.
Please let me just live in that house.
We were finally reunited,
so could we live together again as another family?
You were anxiously looking for me.
Yes, I anxiously looked for you.
When I was young, there was nothing I could do...
but cry a river whenever I thought of you.
But after I came of age, I went everywhere looking for you.
I picked up any kind of job I could and requested a search...
with every single private detective I could find...
just to find you!
At times, I wanted to give up.
At other times, I wailed because I missed you so much.
When Dad said he had to send you to a children's home,
I thought it'd be much better if I went instead.
That was why I let you go with Mom,
but you didn't know about that situation.
"Was that why she hated me?"
"Was that why she never showed up?"
I blamed myself a lot too.
Hye Won...
You couldn't imagine the kind of life I lived.
I know what rock bottom is like.
I don't want to go back to that misery again.
No, I'm scared of it.
So please give me a break.
Please let me win.
All you have to do is not raise an issue with this.
Everything becomes so easy...
if you just accept me!
Hye Ji,
it seems like you're unable to have rational thoughts.
You can't have two chances in life.
It's belated, but you must make the right choice.
Pay for what you did, then we could get a fresh start.
I'll be your support,
and I promise never to leave your side.
If people point their fingers, I'll beg for forgiveness with you.
If they throw stones at you, I'll be stoned with you too.
Hey, Lee Hye Won.
If you get too unruly, you'll end up getting hurt.
Wifey, I came to work without a good morning kiss...
to let you sleep in.
I have lots of meetings today.
I'll call you when I get off work.
(Baek Sung Yoon)
Sung Yoon, you must've been worried about how things went with...
What is this woman saying,
sitting in front of me right now?
What?
What woman? Who...
Are you saying...
Bae Do Eun came to see me early in the morning,
blurting out nonsense that she was your sister, Hye Ji.
What's she talking about?
(Baek Sung Yoon Law Office, Stella Tteokbokki)
Why do you look nothing like Hye Won if you're her sister?
Because we've lived different lives.
That doesn't sound like a good excuse.
You're right.
Everything is an excuse.
You didn't wear your fake baby bump either.
So? What's your plan today? Having a miscarriage?
(Nothing is impossible.)
What are you scheming?
The attorney and you had been suspicious...
that I instigated the murder of Mr. Lim Dan Ung.
I kept denying it, but you two wouldn't believe me,
so I came with this.
Please listen to this.
I became a woman who killed Lim Dan Ung!
What if I end up going to prison again?
Back then, I got locked up for petty theft,
but this time, someone died.
Yes.
That jerk deserved to die.
You killed him. Don't blame me for that.
Attorney Baek, if I turn in this voice recording to the police,
will it be enough to put Jeon Kyung Ja on the wanted list...
for confessing her murder of Lim Dan Ung?
She confessed, so yes. They'd open an investigation.
But Ms. Bae.
If you were innocent,
why didn't you tell anyone about this voice recording?
I had been under a threat...
by this woman, Jeon Kyung Ja.
Enough of your nonsense!
You just heard the conversation between Jeon Kyung Ja and me.
Hye Won, she killed Lim Dan Ung, then threatened me,
saying she'd tell people she killed him because of me.
This wasn't a hate crime,
and all murders happen for a reason.
Why did she kill Lim Dan Ung?
She was in love with him.
She was his stalker!
I can't believe anything you say.
If she had been threatening you...
instead of working as your pawn,
why were you there at Seorae Bridge?
Jeon Kyung Ja had the voice recording...
of me giving her the order to threaten Lim Dan Ung...
and make him fake Ms. Oh's sexual assault charge.
You said you heard it.
It was probably the same conversation Mr. Lim recorded.
Jeon Kyung Ja made a recording of that too.
Jeon Kyung Ja had the evidence of your sexual assault scheme,
and you were afraid she'd give it to me?
That was why you were at Seorae Bridge?
You know everything about me now,
so I admit that I faked the sexual assault case.
But back then, it was a weakness I had to hide.
That was why you came to Seorae Bridge that night?
But you were suspicious...
that I instigated Lim Dan Ung's murder.
Then, Jeon Kyung Ja called,
so I found out you used the bug I planted against me,
and I was honestly mad.
Why did you plant a bug in Hye Won's room?
Because...
I wanted to avoid her suspicion because it seemed like...
she knew I wasn't pregnant.
What is it that you really want?
I want to clear the suspicion that I instigated Lim Dan Ung's murder.
Jeon Kyung Ja must be gambling, so she's out of touch,
but I know she'll reach out again.
I'll lure her, so Mr. Baek and Hye Won,
make sure you catch her.
I got these two.
It's me, Bae Do Eun, rising up from rock bottom.
(The Two Sisters)
Hey, Ms. Bae.
There is no statute of limitations for murder instigation.
This means Mother accepts me as her daughter-in-law.
I hid away a move I played.
A love scandal with Cha Ji Eun.
I have to put Hye Won in that fight as quickly as possible.
You're disgusting.
Are you Jeon Kyung Ja?
