(Episode 112)
There is no notepad.
Did you search everywhere?
I searched the entire place after Director Seo left...
Didn't you watch the monitor?
I fell asleep.
How could you fall asleep?
I've been tied up for more than 24 hours.
Wouldn't you be exhausted if you were in my shoes?
I haven't eaten all day either.
Are you asking me for food?
Is it really necessary to keep me tied up like this...
even after the deal we've made?
Unchain my right hand too.
Cut the nonsense.
I won't be able to run away...
if you lock the door to this place anyway.
You'll attack me first.
I can't trust you until I find the notepad.
Then at least let me switch hands.
My right arm feels numb.
And I'm hungry. Give me some food.
I know you don't want to hurt me.
I don't plan on running away either.
After all, you promised to help me find the notepad.
If it turns out that you're fooling me,
you'll have to pay for it.
Then hurry up and find the notepad.
That will prove that I'm not lying.
If you don't trust me, you won't be able to get anything.
Gosh, it hurts.
Goodness, it hurts.
I suddenly remembered something.
You were sent back to the orphanage twice,
and you had a very difficult life.
No one ever took your side,
so it's natural that you find it hard to trust people.
I know we can't be friends,
but we both need each other's help.
I always keep my promises.
But instead, you must find me the notepad no matter what.
You really are crazy about money.
You don't know all the stuff I had to go through...
just because I didn't have money.
You want money,
and I want Director Seo's love.
You'd better not do anything to cause trouble.
I'll behave if you give me food.
I should go to Director Seo's office to look for the notepad.
I'm going to visit Jung Min on my way back.
I'll make you something to eat before I leave.
It's not the weekend today, but you came again.
Yes, I had a meeting nearby,
and I dropped by because I missed you.
Do you miss me every day?
Of course. I miss you every day.
I was able to meet my mom today.
She came to see me earlier while I was sleeping.
Oh, I see. I guess you met her in your dream.
Nurse Kim, have you lost your mind?
We could get sued for accidentally mistaking...
someone's medical chart for someone else's.
She's pregnant. What if she took some drugs...
that pregnant women aren't supposed to take?
Call Ms. Lee Ji Eun right now.
Tell her that her medical chart was switched with someone else's...
and congratulate her on her pregnancy.
Gosh.
I'm sorry, my baby.
I promise I'll get out of here.
I'll safely get out of here no matter what.
Hope came to me during the most hopeless moment.
There's a baby growing inside me.
Maybe this baby, the fruition of our love,
is teaching me how to be courageous...
and bold...
so I can fight against fear.
The strong don't always win.
But those who win are always considered strong.
So I'm going to overcome this nightmare.
I need to be a strong mother at all costs.
(Drug Storage Room)
The number of midazolam doesn't match what's on the list.
Did you check the ones that were either broken or in poor condition?
Yes, of course.
We're also short on warfarin.
Warfarin too?
The only patient that was given warfarin...
due to pulmonary embolism...
was that patient in room 401 who was in a car accident.
I think someone's stealing.
Remember how that freelance doctor...
got caught stealing propofol and fentanyl?
Let's tell this to the head nurse first.
(Drug Storage Room)
She purposely left without discussing anything with me.
So there's no way she'd call.
Hasn't Ji Eun contacted you either, Mother?
Her cell phone is still turned off.
I bet you're really upset.
Do you have time tonight?
Yes, I'm outside right now.
I'll go visit you as soon as I'm done with work.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Bye.
There's no way.
(Seorin)
I think they had a really big fight.
Who in the world goes abroad just because they had a fight?
I don't get Ji Eun, but I don't get Jung Min either.
He's always so head over heels for his wife,
so it's no wonder Ji Eun keeps acting out.
Director Seo does tend to be easy on her.
I'm not badmouthing anyone.
I'm just agreeing with you since you're so angry.
But for some reason, you're making me feel even angrier.
When someone's angry, don't make things worse.
You should try to help that person understand...
his or her opponent in order to help them calm down.
Whenever I talk to Ji Eun,
she seems to know how to calm my temper.
Your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions,
and your actions shape your character.
I'll be more careful.
Is everything okay with work even though Ms. Lee isn't here?
She told us she'll be confirming the important documents via email.
And she organized everything she wants us to do...
regarding each project,
so everything seems to be going well.
Please do your best even though Ms. Lee isn't here.
And I know Ms. Lee is smart and clever,
which is obviously why...
Bisang Textile managed to grow so immensely.
But nothing can be done all alone.
So please do your best to support her.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Ms. Lee worked overtime during the weekdays,
and she came to work even on the weekends.
She never took a single day off.
So she really deserves a break.
Thank you. Have a good one.
Thank you.
Don't you feel uncomfortable meeting those people?
A connection built on hatred can sometimes be even stronger.
Maybe it's because I spent years fighting with them,
but I miss them if I don't see them for too long.
Chairwoman Seo is actually a pretty decent woman.
She's very thoughtful too.
Are Jung Min and Ji Eun doing well?
Yes, they're madly in love.
I don't get why I used to be so twisted.
Se Hoon was the only person I cared about.
I used to be like that too.
I was fixated on my anger.
I still can't believe you changed your mind.
No one's born wise.
Time builds character.
I think that's why they say you grow as you age.
But of course, I took a lot longer than others.
Time also perfected my relationship with Se Hoon.
We still argue and fight at times,
but I'm sure our relationship will become more mature over time.
You just need to continue living your life like this.
Don't compare yourself to others,
and just be grateful for what you have.
I think that's what life is.
Life is a long journey.
So it's useless to compare ourselves with others.
And we should never jump to conclusions...
solely based on the situation we're in right now.
I agree.
My relationship with Se Hoon got a lot better...
once I stopped comparing us with others.
Nothing happens all of a sudden.
You don't become kind or malicious overnight.
Mi Ran, you decided to look back on yourself,
and that's why you were able to set your life straight.
You've matured faster than your own mother.
You've become a totally different person...
now that you've almost experienced death.
I heard someone's voice while I was in the hospital.
- Someone's voice? - Yes.
I don't know if it was a dream or not,
but I heard Jung Min talking to me.
He was truly concerned about me,
and he acknowledged how difficult my life must've been.
And I think that gave me the strength to wake up.
Do you think it was a dream?
Or do you think Jung Min really said that to you?
I didn't ask on purpose.
I wanted to keep it to myself so I could think about it.
It's time to leave. Let's go.
I made you some side dishes.
Gosh, you didn't have to bring so much.
She went grocery shopping early in the morning.
She worked all day to make that for you.
Thank you, Mother. I'll enjoy your food.
No, don't mention it. Did you eat dinner?
I ate something outside.
Put this in the fridge once it cools down.
Okay.
Mother, take a seat.
Okay.
You must be angry at Ji Eun.
I'd be lying if I told you I'm not angry.
Mom.
Mom! Mom, I'm right here!
Jung Min! I'm over here!
Please find me! Please take me out of here!
Mom!
My gosh, darn it!
Mom!
I'm not saying Ji Eun did the right thing.
But I just hope you'll try to understand.
Ji Eun always has a lot on her mind.
And ever since she was young,
she'd lock herself in her room...
until she felt better...
whenever something bothered her.
I'm not saying what she's doing is right.
But that's probably why...
she isn't back yet.
If she had told me she needed time to organize her thoughts beforehand,
I would've gladly given her time.
But I mean...
We just got married.
It's upsetting that Ji Eun never tells me what's on her mind.
It's all my fault.
After what happened to our family,
Ji Eun had to carry all the burden.
I had depression,
so I was always high on drugs.
Young Eun was young and immature,
so she was always busy causing trouble.
So Ji Eun was always busy taking care of things on her own.
That's probably why she doesn't think it's necessary...
to discuss it with others when there's a problem.
I didn't realize that could be the reason.
No matter how much you love someone, you can't avoid hardships...
every once in a while.
But things surely get better...
once you stay patient and wait.
Nothing good lasts forever.
Marriage is no different. Some days, you're happy.
But some days, you're faced with hardships.
You're both different people.
It's impossible for things to always be good.
You're right.
We should go now.
I bet you're tired. You should get some rest.
Let me know if Ji Eun calls.
I'll keep trying to call her.
Okay, Mother. I'm sorry for worrying you.
Goodness, why are you sorry?
I'm the one who feels embarrassed.
Let's go.
What?
Is the water shaking?
Why is the water shaking?
Jung Min.
Jung Min! Jung Min!
Is the sink tilted or something?
I should call someone to fix this.
My goodness.
Jung Min!
Jung Min. Jung Min.
No. Don't drink it.
No.
Why is this on the left?
I always put the clock on the right.
I couldn't bring myself to tell this to you face to face.
I'd like to have some space for a while.
I'm at the airport right now.
I'd like to organize my thoughts while taking a trip around Europe.
I won't be answering your calls.
I'll call you once I'm done organizing my thoughts.
(I'd like to have some space for a while.)
(Are you doing well? I'll be busy for a while...)
I hate it when people say "for a while".
Why?
It's so vague.
So I never use that word.
It's not specific enough, so it's hard to trust.
You're so picky.
(Are you doing well? I'll be busy...)
Ji Eun never says "for a while".
Why am I suddenly getting a weird feeling?
Am I overthinking it?
(Seorin)
Hello.
Director Seo.
Where are the passcode and notepad?
I need to hurry up and find it so I can put an end to this.
Once we give her what she wants,
we'll finally be able to live a happy life...
with Jung Min.
So tell me.
We have a strong connection, so I'm able to understand you.
Let's say goodbye to Lee Ji Eun.
Then the three of us will finally become happy.
Did you fail to find it?
I searched the house and office, but it's nowhere.
Did you search his car?
I didn't think of that.
No, wait. He wouldn't have left it in his car.
He probably put it in his personal safe in the bank...
or the safe he keeps in the villa at Sokcho.
I'm too exhausted. I'll think about it tomorrow.
Eun Ju.
"Eun Ju"?
Can I not call you that?
Does it offend you?
No.
Did you meet your son at the hospital?
Yes.
Director Seo was there to visit Jung Min again.
They love each other so much.
Jung Min needs a dad,
and Director Seo needs a son.
Meanwhile, you want his love.
And you want his money.
I personally think you're amazing.
What do you mean?
Even the cops thought you were dead.
How did you manage to make them think that?
Not many people know how to do that kind of stuff.
That day,
when Yang In Cheol came to pick me up,
he came in an ambulance.
That's when I realized that he had betrayed me.
He was never smart enough to think about...
borrowing an ambulance.
So what did you do?
I stalled a little.
Then I went to the drug storage room...
to fetch a syringe and midazolam.
Midazolam is an anesthetic.
I used to be a nurse's aide in the past.
I see.
I lived a really difficult life,
so I easily come up with ways to survive when I'm in trouble.
I always had to think of a way to survive, you see.
In the end,
I got on the ambulance and left the hospital with him.
But of course,
I was nervous and curious to find out...
where he was taking me.
And I noticed that he was taking me to a construction site.
Just then,
I noticed a sign saying there's a cliff ahead.
So I just took my chances...
and turned the wheel that way.
Then I drugged Yang In Cheol with the syringe...
for having betrayed me.
The ambulance fell down the cliff,
and at that very moment,
I got very lucky...
and managed to hold onto a branch that was sticking out.
That's how...
I was able to live...
even though the ambulance exploded.
Then how did the cops find your teeth?
I climbed down the cliff and hid myself.
And I figured I should do something to prevent them from looking for me.
There was a river beneath the cliff,
so I had to make sure they wouldn't look for my body.
Everything else burns but your teeth.
So I plucked out my teeth...
and threw them into the fire.
Perfect, right?
Yes.
I bet you're tired. You should sleep.
Don't tell me what to do!
How can you be eating right now?
I'm sorry for making you angry.
That look of arrogance in your eyes.
The way you order me around.
And I hate that condescending attitude of yours!
I hate you! I detest you!
I hate you so much! I just want to put an end to this!
I'm sick of you!
I just want to end this!
It's 12 p.m.?
Gosh, I can't believe I slept in again.
Why do I keep sleeping in these days?
Director Seo, eat up.
The jangjorim is delicious. It's not too salty.
Did you sleep well?
Honey, promise me...
that you won't ever take off your wedding ring...
no matter what happens.
You're the one who should keep that promise.
I'll be wearing this even after I die.
I promise.
Ji Eun.
(Phoenix 2020)
My baby, I'm sure your daddy will find us.
Let's hang in there.
We need to go to the police station.
I think Ji Eun is in danger.
We need to get out of here.
Does Jung Min know something?
An intruder might've kidnapped Ms. Lee.
I think we should go to your place.
How should I run away?
Should I push her with my body?
