Inmate 1120, you have a visitor.
And it's someone powerful.
Assemblyman Eun Byun Do.
You must be busy preparing for the next presidential election.
Thank you for making such a long trip.
It must be tough for you.
I decided to face this myself, so it wasn't so bad.
It's almost time. Give me just a little more time.
People say you must sit in the rain to see the rainbow in the end.
I will endure however much time I must,
so please use me as your bait and end this fight...
against the most corrupt couple in this country,
Cha Sang Beom and Min Ja Young.
Do you trust me?
My plans may be shipwrecked.
Trust always comes with uncertainty.
I got to play my winning move, thanks to your decision.
You even got locked up in here,
so I became certain that you'd be the trigger to my plan.
Assemblyman Eun.
Cha Sang Beom and Min Ja Young are a couple who could...
cover up a murder case as they wanted.
There also are people in the police, the prosecution,
and the judiciary who are with them, and you must wipe them all out.
Prosecutor Kang Do Kyung knew I made a false confession,
yet he found Bae Do Eun innocent...
and let her go without indictment...
because he was a pawn to Min Ja Young.
Cha Sang Beom and his group try to wield absolute power,
and they must be wiped out.
Cha Sang Beom used his people to continue to commit corruption...
even after he resigned as the presidential candidate,
and my intelligence team found their hideout.
We also have a witness account that his wife, Min Ja Young,
was seen there.
You were a just prosecutor, Candidate Eun Byun Do.
I know you're a man who will not give up on his wish...
to govern under the rule of law.
Cha Sang Beom, Min Ja Young, and their gang...
let their guards down...
ever since your arrest, so I will wipe them out,
get you out of here,
and have Bae Do Eun be punished under the strict law.
Something is happening to Jun Mo.
Jun Mo, what's going on?
I feel anxious.
All right.
Why are you standing there? You should lie down.
I'm fine.
It was stifling to stay on the bed,
and I heard moving around would...
help me recover faster.
You brought a lot of things.
Right, yes. These?
Okay.
I made you some dishes...
that were good for you after a liver transplant.
This one.
All right. And this.
Tofu salad and braised sea bream.
I already got the nurse's permission...
for you to eat everything here.
Do you have no appetite?
I'll eat.
I should've done this for you long ago,
but I only did it after you got sick.
I got to eat your food because I fell ill.
Just stay healthy.
If you do, I'll make you meal boxes and even all three meals a day,
then bring them to you.
Do you like it?
It's good.
Then, try this one, too.
I heard you had to eat lots of protein.
This tofu is easy to digest and absorb.
Mom.
Yes?
I know how you feel,
so stop trying to read my countenance.
To be honest, it's still a little awkward...
to be here alone with you.
But I'll try my best to make this...
an ordinary mother-daughter relationship.
We can chat with each other,
take walks, and go to a sauna, too.
Thank you.
Yes, let's do everything we haven't done...
and leave no regrets or unmet wishes.
Okay. Let's do everything.
Right, Hye Won.
You must be grateful to your donor.
Have you thanked that person?
It was someone at Jun Mo's work,
and I really wanted to thank that person,
but they just refused.
What?
There's Grandma-Aunt.
What? "Grandma-Aunt?"
I saw Grandma-Aunt.
(Emergency Room)
It's not an easy decision...
to donate an organ to a total stranger.
This person saved my kid.
I really want to thank them.
I'll talk to Jun Mo again once he returns from his business trip.
I have to thank that person.
I owe my life to them.
Do you talk to Mr. Lee on the phone every single day?
We keep texting each other,
but he must be too busy to call me and talk to me.
What? Is something going on?
I mean, think about it.
He'd leave everything behind if something concerned you.
Goodness.
He could be busy,
but your surgery ended ages ago.
He still hasn't called?
Maybe he's seeing someone else.
If he is,
I'll fly to America...
and pull out all of the new girl's hair.
Would she say hello to me in English?
I don't care if she only speaks English.
I won't let him live, so don't worry about anything.
How reassuring.
"Reassuring?"
Once she says hello, I'll pull her hair out.
Goodness.
Oh, my.
What are the mother and daughter having so much fun talking about?
You didn't have to bring anything.
What did you make?
Well... I made tofu salad...
and bland braised sea bream because she loves sea bream.
Some barley tea, too.
What's this?
Oh, my. You made the exact same dishes I mentioned.
I guess the first-comer gets to serve first.
You're so selfish.
You two have different recipes,
so I'll eat this too, Aunt Min Sook.
Do you not like how my daughter and I are...
getting closer? Are you jealous?
My gosh.
Yes, I'm jealous.
But I think this is great.
All right, now. I have to go to work.
You can now be her mother. Okay?
Okay.
It had been over a week since we talked.
I'm starting to worry.
- Is everything all right? - I'm here.
Are you that busy at work?
Have you had the talk with your new boss, Patrick?
I mean, making the investment in YJ...
in the form of redeemable convertible preference shares.
This question wasn't included in his reply templates.
What do I have to say to this question?
Who's this woman he's texting?
(Lovely)
(I mean, making the investment in YJ...)
I love you.
"I love you?"
That's it?
Goodness. My gosh!
- Give me that. - Wait. Stay right there.
"Lovely?"
"I love you?"
Who's this woman?
Give me that phone.
I caught you red-handed, so you had no excuses.
Stay quiet if you're clueless.
You're the one at fault, so why are you so annoyed?
Since when did this happen? How long have you been cheating?
Who's this woman?
Say it already.
Who's this "Lovely?"
She's your daughter, Young Ju. Are you happy now?
What?
Lee Hye Ji, that cursed girl.
What am I going to do with her?
How can she make a deal with her sister's life?
How will she deal with the punishment...
after ruining all these people's lives?
You know, right?
Hye Won cannot find out about this.
You don't have to say it.
She'd end up collapsing.
The man she loved took the blame...
for her younger sister's murder...
just to save her life.
She'd blame herself.
I mean, I know she's on bad terms with her sister,
but Hye Won is still her sister by blood.
How can she take advantage of the guy her sister loves?
Tell me about it.
I need to grab Hye Ji...
and jump into the Han River to end everything.
My gosh, wait a minute.
This means Hye Ji is in Hye Won's hospital, too.
My goodness.
(Operating Room)
You look great.
Why are you here?
Is my liver compatible enough?
Your liver?
What are you talking about?
Are you shamelessly...
feigning ignorance even though you know I'm the donor?
Or are you that dumb and really have no idea?
You need to thank me.
I saved your life.
It must kill your pride to owe your life to me.
You never know what life holds.
The arrogant Lee Hye Won must be humiliated right now.
You'll have to surrender to me every time you see me.
You.
Shut your mouth.
Is this true?
Did you know...
Bae Do Eun was my donor?
No, I didn't know.
I swear, I didn't.
You knew. Why are you denying it?
Why are you making up a lie?
You and my stepfather came for me at the detention center...
and demanded that I save her.
You coerced me to give her my liver.
Yes, I said that, but you refused.
And her donor is a staff member at Mr. Lee's work,
so stop talking nonsense.
You don't have to believe a word she says, Hye Won.
She made up a lie just to get on your nerves.
Did you think this girl would agree to give up her liver?
Did it seem like I gave you my liver...
or not?
You should be at the detention center.
Why are you here?
When you faked the evidence...
and got me arrested,
I drank chlorine and got sepsis, which just relapsed.
I came to get treated and live. Is that a problem?
You said you had a blood test. Go.
When you have time, stop by my room, too.
Hey, Hye Won.
Hye Ji wasn't your donor.
If you don't trust me,
you'll probably trust Lee Jun Mo.
I just found out she was at this hospital.
I heard it from your stepfather at work.
He came to the hospital a few days ago...
and found out she was hospitalized here.
Can I really trust you, Mom?
Trust me.
Doctor.
I had a question.
It's about my donor.
Your liver donor was...
a man.
Really?
Why would I lie?
Goodness, thank you, Doctor.
Mr. Lee already talked to me,
so I didn't tell her that Bae Do Eun was the donor.
She'd go into shock...
if she found out it was her.
You already did us a favor, so please keep it quiet to the end.
Please, Doctor.
Yes, I'll do that.
All right.
- Thank you. - My gosh.
Run over to Bae Do Eun and keep her mouth shut.
If this goes wrong, it's all on you.
How is this all on me?
You're the mom, so take charge and stop her!
What?
How can you eat that right now?
I lost my liver to Hye Won,
so I have to eat well.
Hospital food isn't filling enough.
Do not come near Hye Won's hospital room again.
If you do, I will twist your neck off.
And I'm not just saying that.
Hye Won just had major surgery.
She can't go into shock.
She had that surgery thanks to me.
Why won't you worry about me?
Others pointed fingers at you and called you wicked,
but I still took your side...
because you were my daughter.
I didn't care if it was accidental manslaughter...
or murder instigation.
I was grateful that you weren't caught.
When I heard you stabbed your sister,
I wanted to believe she got into an accident...
while you two had a fight.
It was an accident.
My fingerprints weren't on the weapon.
I finally realized today...
that I gave birth to a monster.
The day your sister finds out Lee Jun Mo is in prison...
because of your crime...
is the day...
you and I hang each other and die.
Hye Won isn't your only daughter.
Was I adopted?
It would've been a relief if I had adopted you!
Then, I would've disowned you...
and rooted you out of my life!
People might hear that and think...
you were such a loving mom.
As you said, there was no love between us.
Let's not see each other again.
Once I'm discharged tomorrow, we won't have to.
Your mom seemed cold.
She said she wouldn't be my mom anymore.
Well, she was never really a mom anyway.
Anyway, how did she find out and show up?
Your deal with Lee Jun Mo was...
that you'd shut up about it.
I didn't tell her.
I ran into Hye Won on the way to the testing lab.
I considered spilling everything...
and making Hye Won furious,
but I just got on her nerves.
I have to keep a low profile...
even after the stay of execution is granted.
The day Hye Won found out I was her donor,
Lee Jun Mo said he'd revert his confession.
I don't have to cause unnecessary trouble.
If you...
break your deal with me,
I will put an end to you...
even if the price is utter destruction of my life.
If you don't want to ruin yourself,
keep your mouth shut around Hye Won.
I'm dying to spill it, but I'll stay quiet for a while.
If anything, it'd help all of us stay focused.
All right.
Ms. Min prepared a place for you to stay...
once you were discharged tomorrow.
What about your sister, Choi Min Ju?
Have you convinced her?
We don't have much time to take that money...
before the Judan Foundation for Arts is founded.
I found a simple way to pocket the 50 million dollars...
Lee Hye Won kept in the Judan Foundation's account.
- What is it? - It wasn't that complicated.
All I have to do is make my sister, Choi Min Ju, be my front,
and I know her very well.
I just have to make her frustrated...
and start losing her temper.
She always destroyed everything when she couldn't get her way...
since she was young.
Does your heart still break...
whenever you think of Ms. Lee?
But she even has a boyfriend.
Why do you define all human relationships...
as a romantic relationship between a man and a woman?
We've known each other and have been friends...
for a long time.
Of course, I was worried about her...
as a partner with the same goal.
You aren't even with YJ any longer. What goal?
My grand goal is to see justice.
You already knew...
I was greatly indebted to Director Oh Soo Hyang.
If she hadn't saved me...
from the deepest despair...
after Na Kyung passed away,
I probably would've become an alcoholic.
Have you not forgotten about Na Kyung yet?
I don't want to forget her.
I thought she died because of me, so I wanted to avoid...
thinking about her,
but avoiding her thoughts made me doubt myself.
Then, I came to a realization...
that once I faced my pain,
it could turn into memories.
And now, I can even smile when I think of Na Kyung.
People say first love is a dream you never wake from.
I guess you don't want to wake up.
I'll wake up when the right time comes.
I don't want to force myself to wake up.
But if I ever fall in love again,
I won't hold my feelings back...
or lose that person.
Didn't you already lose that person once?
I didn't lose her. I let her go.
Also, I really thought it did her well. I mean it.
Right, Sung Yoon. Once Ms. Lee gets discharged,
we should transfer the 50 million dollars...
in the Judan Foundation's account...
to YJ's main corporate account.
We could rake in a lot of interest,
so I don't understand why she kept it there.
That fund of 50 million dollars didn't belong to YJ,
but it was donated solely to the Judan Foundation for Arts.
You already know we can't keep that in YJ's corporate account.
It's the most basic principle of the Korean Commercial Act.
Are you unaware of that basic law,
or are you feigning ignorance, Attorney Choi Min Ju?
(My brother, Choi Pil Seo)
You got into a weird habit.
Why don't you pick up your calls when you're with me?
I'm trying to get on your good side.
Don't say that. It makes you sound like a stalker.
Was that your idea of a joke?
That was offensive.
Anyway, why have you been so sensitive lately?
You've been losing your temper all the time.
Is something going on at home?
(My brother, Choi Pil Seo)
(Power Off)
You dreaded the call to even turn your phone off?
Who was it?
You don't have to know.
Hello? What is it?
I need you to see Lee Jun Mo...
at the detention center, Attorney Baek.
Okay, yes. I'll do that.
I have a favor to ask of you, Attorney Baek.
What is it, Eun Yu?
What's that in your hands?
Handwritten petitions from YJ's staff members...
to save Mr. Chase Lee from behind bars.
We do not believe...
he's someone who's capable of such a crime.
So, from new recruits to our veteran employees,
we all wrote the petitions by hand...
to testify how good of a person he really was.
Thank you.
I'll take these petitions...
and turn them in to the court in charge of his case.
- Jun Mo. - Hey.
I'm sorry.
It's 4 a.m. here.
I just got home.
I mean, how busy are you to come home at this hour?
I've been working night and day.
There's an emergency at Vision's headquarters.
What's going on?
Jun Mo, everything is okay with you, right?
Yes, this is just work.
I can't really explain.
Well...
When will you come back to Korea?
Well...
Hey, Hye Won. I'm really tired right now.
I only have 1 to 2 hours to sleep before I leave again.
Let's talk later.
I see. Okay. I'm sorry.
Go to sleep.
I'm glad to hear from you.
Bye.
Please take that back to Hye Won's stepfather.
How long do you think she'll fall for your lie?
Hye Won shouldn't find out until she got discharged.
Your arrest...
and Bae Do Eun's innocence can become the hottest issue,
yet the media is under control,
so I don't think you're in this alone.
Someone powerful is probably helping you from the back.
You won't tell me even if I ask for a name.
But of course, I have an idea of who it may be.
You can trust your gut feelings.
It seemed like he was about to make an extreme move...
with his political career on the line.
I was a bit worried about variables,
but I felt reassured...
to see you make this phone call with the warden's special favor.
Then, I think it's about time you make the confession.
What?
It's all right. Just say it.
Say what?
That you like me.
My goodness. Are you crazy?
You're giving me the creeps. And don't give me those cheesy eyes.
I hope you eat well, even if it's just prison food.
Thanks, Attorney Baek.
The house feels so empty just because Hye Won's gone.
I've been so lonely lately.
Try your best to get along with Soo Jung.
Trying my best wasn't enough.
Tell me why trying your best isn't enough to befriend me.
I only get angry whenever I talk to you.
You're the type who makes people angry, not me.
My gosh. She always does this.
I have to stick right next to my sick brother...
to keep this old fox from seducing him.
Why? Do you think I'll eat him alive?
He's not someone I can just seduce.
You may call me a viper, but he's a 1,000-year-old serpent.
I guess.
Right, Yi Chul. the Judan Foundation will hold...
a music concert at the re-foundation ceremony.
Why don't you play the violin there?
You're an amateur, but you play better than most professionals.
Hey, that's an ancient story.
It's been over 20 years since I've picked up a bow.
You can always practice. Lucia is coming, too.
Did you tell her?
Not yet. I couldn't.
Right, why don't you share the news yourself?
Let's think about...
the easiest way for Lucia to accept the news.
What?
What does Lucia have to accept?
Wait. Is she your daughter?
I'm sorry. Apparently so.
What do you mean?
Wait, what do you mean?
That was why you said you had a higher place in the pecking order!
Goodness, I was joking about the pecking order.
She won't live in Korea.
My gosh, you two. What on earth is going on? No way.
No way! My gosh.
"Jun Mo, we should meet in person and discuss..."
"issuing the CB with the call option..."
"that Vision suggested."
"Issuing the CB? Call option?" What do these mean?
CB stands for convertible bonds.
Tell me.
Why do you have his phone?
I talked to him on the phone yesterday.
This means he's not in America!
Hye Won, please calm down...
and sit.
You need absolute rest.
Mom! Tell me what's going on!
Hey, your mom wasn't involved in this.
I also did just as Mr. Lee asked.
Where in the world is he?
I can't tell you that.
- My goodness, Hye Won. - Oh, no.
Hang in there.
Gosh.
I hoped you'd never find out...
or come here.
But I still feel foolishly happy to see you here.
I missed you, Hye Won.
How can you take the blame to save me?
Are you out of your mind?
I was in the soberest mind.
I'm sorry...
for dragging you into my life.
I never felt a single regret...
after I was reunited with you.
Hye Won.
Did you know what I realized once you fell ill?
That I can't live...
without you.
Don't cry.
You're ruining your beautiful face.
By the time you're out,
I'll be fully healthy,
all dolled up and presentable.
It's now my turn to save you.
(The Two Sisters)
You're in the worst crisis because Lee Jun Mo's plan...
completely fell through.
You two have no way out of this.
Just suffer.
Shut your mouth...
before I rip it in half.
The plan to get you freed without charges all fell through.
I feel so devastated.
What am I going to do now?
Hye Won, I have bad news.
You can have the 50 million dollars.
