(Episode 7)
Goodbye.
Did you hear about Ms. Oh?
I heard she'll no longer be working here.
She's in the worst kind of situation ever.
She'll find a job at another school.
Her husband died.
What kind of school would hire a short-term teacher...
who got fired for accepting bribe money?
Will you at least help her clear her name?
Why are you asking me for help?
I'm sure you already know.
Did Ms. Oh ask you to do this?
If she was brave enough to ask me for help,
she wouldn't have let this happen.
How do you expect her to raise her child...
now that she doesn't have a husband or a job?
Even if she receives settlement money,
she'll be left with nothing once she pays back the loan sharks.
That's none of my business.
Gosh, if I could do things my way, I'd teach her a big lesson.
My goodness, she's so annoying.
That's not going to help Suk Joon get released.
If he finds out you're not eating or sleeping properly,
it'll only make him feel uneasy.
Hello?
The victim's family accepted the money.
And apparently, things can change depending on the autopsy results.
Really?
Good work.
Is Suk Joon getting released?
Of course.
What are you doing here again?
My husband is dead.
I heard.
I finally said goodbye to him today.
Did you come here to tell me that?
I'm also pregnant.
So what?
I need to raise two children on my own.
If I lose my job,
I really don't know how I'm going to get by.
What does that have anything to do with me?
What... What are you doing?
Do me a favor.
Please help me clear my name, Eun Ju.
Let me keep my job as a teacher.
Hey, why are you being so annoying?
What do you want me to do?
Eun Ju, please.
The fact that you're doing this means you think I sent the letter...
and put the money inside your drawer.
I never told you the money was in my drawer.
There's only one person...
who knows everything that you've done.
- What? - That's you yourself.
You can lie to others but not yourself.
This will be the last time I ask you for a favor.
Thank goodness.
I'm not going to hate or resent you.
You don't even deserve my attention.
But...
I won't forgive you either.
I don't care if you forgive me or not.
I always need to be better than you.
Come inside.
Do you have the autopsy results?
Yes, the doctor who participated will be bringing the results.
Oh, okay.
Welcome, Dr. Choi.
A cerebral hemorrhage was what caused Mr. Park to die.
The stab wound wasn't what killed him.
I see.
But it's hard to think the victim beat him up all by himself.
He has too many bone fractures and injuries.
You told me the assailant got beaten up as well.
Are you saying he wasn't alone?
In order to get injured like that,
he would've had to get beaten up...
by 3 to 4 people for quite a long time.
Does that mean there were other assailants?
I guess so.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
Suk Joon.
I'm glad you're home.
I'm relieved you got released.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
How did he get released?
There was a lack of evidence due to the autopsy results.
But he's going to keep getting investigated.
He needs to go to the police station again?
Be grateful it's not prison.
- Good work. - Thank you.
I need to talk to you, so wait in my study.
Okay, sir.
If the judge happens to find you guilty,
that means you won't be able to take the bar exam, right?
That won't happen.
He'll get acquitted and take the second exam.
I heard the situation isn't in his favor.
You must be tired. Go to your room and get some rest.
Okay.
You should cook him something nice for dinner.
Miss.
Can't you do it yourself?
It turns out Park Tae Seob died due to a cerebral hemorrhage.
The stab wound didn't have much impact on his death.
Then what's going to happen?
It means he got a cerebral hemorrhage...
after getting beaten up by several guys.
But no other witnesses got arrested at the scene.
So there's no way for the police to prove...
that Suk Joon was the one who beat up Park Tae Seob.
There weren't any CCTV footage either.
If we use that to our advantage, we actually might be able to win.
Right.
They also won't be able to find any connections...
between Secretary Park and Suk Joon.
Just make sure he doesn't get locked up again.
I never even saw a knife that night.
That means...
someone purposely put that knife in my hand.
But who would do that and why?
Are you sure you're the chairman of LX Group?
I know you're Suk Joon's dad,
but you're also the head of the firm.
Do you have any idea how much work I put in...
to make sure the reporters don't find out about this?
Imagine what will happen if they write an article...
saying your second son is involved in a murder incident.
The stock price will plummet,
and people will gossip about how rich people's children...
always go astray and commit crimes.
Do you think you can handle that?
Suk Hwan's issue with women...
is absolutely nothing compared to what Suk Joon did.
You talk as if Suk Joon is a criminal.
Do you really think Suk Joon killed that person?
I only believe facts.
Even if Suk Joon did murder that guy,
shouldn't you be defending him as his mother?
A parent should also be able to make a cool-headed judgement...
when his or her child does something wrong.
Plus, you're always hard on Suk Hwan...
regarding things that aren't even important.
So why do you expect me to be kind to Suk Joon?
I always knew you were a cold person,
but I didn't know you could be this spiteful.
I became like this all because of you.
What?
I wouldn't be like this if you treated Suk Hwan...
half as kindly as you treat Suk Joon.
I think of them equally!
You only care about Suk Joon.
Mom must think...
I killed Secretary Park.
There's evidence to prove it.
I went there for your sake.
How could Mom think I'm guilty?
Hey.
Don't try to get me involved.
I had nothing to do with Secretary Park.
You can keep denying it,
but there's evidence to prove it.
So there's nothing we can do.
I'm just glad you're awake. I'll bring your doctor.
Min Ho... Min Ho...
Min Ho? Do you want to see him?
He's not my son.
What are you talking about?
He's not my child.
LX...
Are you pregnant?
I'm... I'm going to be a dad?
I'm actually going to be a real dad?
- You're already Min Ho's dad. - Yes, I know.
So many good things are happening all at once.
I... I hope it's a daughter.
Can you tell me about Min Ho's mother?
I haven't even seen a single photo of her.
Why do you want to know all of a sudden?
I've always wanted to know.
Min Ho doesn't take after you at all.
So I'm guessing he takes after his mom.
Min Ho is a warm-hearted kid.
So I'm curious to know if his mother was warm-hearted as well.
And it's hard to believe that Min Ho is actually your son.
I don't care who your real dad is.
You will always...
be my son.
I will protect you.
From now on,
it'll be just the three of us.
Hello?
Pil Jeong.
Soon Jeong.
Why is it so hard to talk to you these days? You never pick up.
I've been quite busy.
Don't tell me you got into a fight with Tae Seob because of my money.
I called because I got worried.
Soon Jeong.
Hello? What's the matter? Is there something wrong?
Be safe.
Okay.
I'll be safe, Mom.
Sure. Whatever.
You talk like you don't care, but you're crying.
I'll make sure to stay healthy.
I can't believe you're doing this to me.
You're the worst son ever.
Thank goodness you're still here. Let me drive you.
Thanks.
Wait for me. Let me go with you.
No, Mom. I think you should just stay.
She's right. Say goodbye to your mom so we can go.
Just be average, okay?
Don't be too horrible, but don't be too good either.
Just be average.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to do well and get myself a vacation as a reward.
My goodness, why won't you ever listen?
Let's go.
Salute.
Tae Woo.
- Tae Woo. - My gosh.
Tae Woo, my son.
My goodness.
What's wrong?
Uncle, please take good care of my mom for me.
Don't worry.
Your dad would've been proud to see you go to the army.
I know.
Don't worry about the family. Just focus on yourself.
Okay.
Can you play that for me?
- Can you replay it? - Sure.
Let me see the hallway.
(Human Resources)
- Here you go. - Thank you.
(Human Resources)
(Park Tae Seob, Unit 403, 21 Hwayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul)
- Who is it? - Hello.
"Park Tae Seob"? No.
- Do you know anything about him? - No.
What?
Suk Joon started looking into Park Tae Seob?
He even asked for the CCTV footage of Park Tae Seob.
And he asked HR for his address.
What if he finds out about our relationship?
Did you get rid of all the CCTV footage?
Yes, I deleted everything.
Where are you?
I'm looking into some stuff regarding Park Tae Seob.
- Come to my office right now. - Can't we talk at home?
It's urgent, so get over here right now!
Why are you looking into Park Tae Seob?
Why do you think?
I got framed, so I want to clear my name.
Why? That's the police's job.
They think I'm the culprit.
And I know you think the same way.
- Stop it right now. - No.
I'm going to prove I'm innocent.
I'm sure someone tried to frame me.
Just stop!
- Mom. - Don't cause a mess of things.
If this leaks, it won't be any good for the company.
My life depends on this.
I went after Park Tae Seob to help Suk Hwan.
Anyone would've thought like me if they were in my shoes.
Are you doubting Suk Hwan?
You're doubting your brother?
Do you trust him?
Yes, I trust him.
Then what about me?
What about me?
Your attorney told me you could get released on probation.
- Isn't that enough? - That still means I'm guilty.
If that happens, I won't get to take the bar exam.
You know why I want to become a prosecutor or a judge.
Your lifelong dream will go down the drain.
You're right.
I wanted my son to be a prosecutor or a judge.
But I wanted that for Suk Hwan, not you.
I wanted it for Suk Hwan.
If Suk Hwan can't become a prosecutor or a judge,
it's all just meaningless to me.
I don't care whether or not...
you become a judge or a prosecutor.
Do you finally get it now?
Do you...
- really mean that? - Yes.
You're always better than him at everything, and I hate that.
It always hurt to watch your brother...
get intimidated by his own father.
And I hated how much your father complimented you...
every time he was hard on Suk Hwan.
Why?
I'm your son as well.
Why do you only care about Suk Hwan?
Because...
he's your older brother. He's the eldest in our family.
That's it?
How will you ever understand?
You will never understand how I feel.
Mom.
I need to get ready for a meeting.
You're right.
I wanted my son to be a prosecutor or a judge.
But I wanted that for Suk Hwan, not you.
I wanted it for Suk Hwan.
If Suk Hwan can't become a prosecutor or a judge,
it's all just meaningless to me.
I don't care whether or not...
you become a judge or a prosecutor.
Do you finally get it now?
You're always better than him at everything, and I hate that.
It always hurt to watch your brother...
get intimidated by his own father.
And I hated how much your father complimented you...
every time he was hard on Suk Hwan.
Mom!
Mom, hurry up! I'm freezing!
Hurry! It's so cold!
Mom! Suk Hwan!
- You must be freezing. - Yes.
I missed you.
Come here, my son.
Let's go.
Didn't you take an umbrella?
Mom came to pick me up with an umbrella.
Oh, right.
Your class is in the other building.
So I totally forgot about you.
Our classes are in the same building.
My class is on the 3rd floor, and his is on the 2nd floor.
You should go inside and study.
I don't want to study.
You'll catch a cold.
Hurry up and get changed.
Why are you slow-witted?
What did I do?
It's okay.
I will love you on behalf of your dad as well.
I won't ever make you feel lonely.
Never.
Ms. Oh Pil Jeong.
Yes?
The doctor says you should eat well and take supplements...
because the fetus is quite small for a fetus that's six weeks old.
Okay.
(Sarang OB-GYN, Maternity Handbook)
- Ms. Kim. - Hey.
- Did you go to the OB-GYN? - Yes.
What did the doctor say? How is the baby?
It's quite small, but it's growing well.
Really? My goodness.
Let's go somewhere.
Where?
You had to go through so many things with a baby inside you.
You need to be healthy in order for your baby to grow well.
I'm healthy.
I want to get you some oriental medicine.
That's not necessary. I'm really healthy.
If you don't accept it, I'll get upset. I'm serious.
I guess I'm not completely unlucky...
seeing that I met a kind person like you.
From now on, you'll meet more and more kind people.
- Do you think so? - Of course.
Come on.
The loan sharks took all the compensation you got...
for your husband's death.
And you even quit work. So what do you plan to do now?
I'm going to ask if I can work...
at the gosiwon restaurant I used to work at in the past.
The owner told me I could come back whenever I want to.
Feel free to let me know if you need my help.
You gave me more than enough help already.
I feel reassured just to have you by my side.
Let's go.
It must've been a slap in the face for Suk Joon.
He always studied so hard to get your acknowledgement.
I'm sure he knows his place now.
It'd be great if we could tell him he was born out of wedlock.
Gosh, I would've told him if it weren't for Dad's will.
That doesn't matter.
Suk Joon's life will be over if he gets released on probation.
And your dad will end up embarrassing himself...
for always having favored Suk Joon.
I really hope that happens.
My goodness, Ms. Kim.
My goodness, hello.
You must be eating with your eldest son.
Yes.
This is Lee Eun Ju and her mother. She's the person your eldest son...
was supposed to meet on that blind date.
Oh, is that so?
We're very sorry about what happened.
I'd like to apologize.
There's no need to apologize.
It turns out my daughter also sent someone else...
because she didn't want to meet him either.
Oh, really?
Then let's just forget about it.
Sure.
Then I'll leave you guys to enjoy your meal.
I can't wait to see the look on your dad's face...
once he hears about this.
This is delicious.
Mom, can you set me up...
with her again?
What?
(Mom Has an Affair)
- Mom, set me up with her again. - Have you lost your mind?
My heart almost stopped beating.
- I want to go to England. - "England"?
I'm all for it.
Grab your opportunity while Suk Joon is gone.
Don't forget. You're the owner of LX Group.
I plan to make you my successor.
You need to move out of here.
Your contract will not be renewed.
You can't just do this all of a sudden.
It felt warm and sad.
That guy who helped us out a few days ago...
When is he coming back?
