(Episode 43)
So...
you're Ko Eun Cho?
I heard you were looking for me, lady?
It's as I expected.
Sit.
You're quite rude.
This is no fun.
It's so old school to talk down to younger people.
Let's follow at least the minimum etiquette.
Stop being rude.
I know kids like you better than anyone.
Is that right? Sure. Whatever.
So? How may I help you,
Ms. Min?
I'm sure you heard the general premise.
How much?
I give as much as I receive.
Ms. Yeo. I said don't let anyone in.
What important matter is it that you're still here...
and won't even let me in?
Honey. Please wait outside.
Who are you?
Me? I'm Ko Eun Cho.
And you are, mister?
Honey.
Fine. You two must have something very important to discuss.
Okay, then.
Let's start discussing business.
He should be here by now. Why isn't he here yet?
Come in.
Hello.
Wait a second.
Why aren't you saying, "Amor mio," today?
Well. I'm just very down today.
I'm sorry.
Wait a second!
Wait a second.
Stay for coffee.
When you're down,
coffee will pick you up.
Goodbye.
Goodbye?
What's this? Is he saying he won't be coming anymore?
What's going on?
Gosh.
Did Ki Seok give you that?
Yes.
Do you want a security tag so you don't lose it?
Don't worry. My hand is the security tag now.
I'm off to my meeting.
Hello?
Yes, Grandmother.
Where are you from?
I'm from Chuncheon.
You have a scar on your wrist?
Yes. I have a burn scar.
But...
How did you get such a scar?
It happened when I was a child, so I don't remember.
I think I poured hot soup on myself.
Where did you get separated...
from your father?
Where were you lost?
At a bus terminal.
What do you think?
Myung Jun.
What about your mother?
I remember my mother clearly.
My mother had passed away...
before I lost my father.
She had gone to visit her sister...
and was bit by a snake.
A snake?
(Ko Eun Cho)
Hey.
The money didn't come in yet.
This is so lame.
Why are you so clueless?
You need to pay in advance.
Send it right now if you want to do this right.
Or forget it.
Come to my office.
I'm out front already.
Eun Cho?
It couldn't be.
Grandmother. Don't be too discouraged.
I'm sure you'll find him soon.
Sure. I'll have hope again.
I'm sure I'll hear about him somehow before I die.
Thanks...
for coming all the way here for me.
Of course, I should come.
Anyway, the scar on that man's wrist...
Was that how the scar on your son looked too?
It was huge when he was a child.
I don't know how it changed now since he's all grown up.
It still breaks my heart when I think about that day.
His brother...
Your dad, Ki Seok.
His brother tried to put his hand into boiling water,
so he tried to stop him and ended up...
pouring it on his own arm.
That must have happened often back in the day.
My father had a burn scar too.
He did?
How did he burn it?
He never told us.
Who is it at this hour?
Madam. Oh my gosh.
Madam. Someone is here to see you.
Who is it at this hour?
No one called about borrowing money.
Well... The thing is...
Your granddaughter-in-law.
What do you mean?
Ko Eun Cho.
How have you been?
Come in, Yi Jae.
Say hi to Grandma.
Hello.
I came to see you.
And to see Yi Jae's dad, Professor Yoon Ki Seok.
(CEO Yoon Ki Seok)
- Hello? - This is terrible.
Madam says to hurry home.
Eun Cho is here.
Eun Cho?
Long time no see.
How have you been?
The door is open.
Hello.
How have you been?
Look who's here.
Why is the con artist of the century in our house?
Take her out of here right now.
Come with me. Let's talk outside.
Let go of me.
Get out.
What are you doing in front of your son?
You and I are parents now.
We have to think about teaching him properly.
Grandmother. Isn't Yi Jae adorable?
Get out at once.
Don't yell.
You're scaring him.
He kind of looks like him...
but not really at the same time.
What are you up to?
What do you mean?
You saw our son with your own eyes.
Shut your mouth.
You were a pain back then too.
Now, you show up with a child to scam us?
I'm sorry, Grandmother.
But I'm not the same person that I used to be.
I've changed.
Now that Yi Jae is getting bigger,
I thought he should meet his dad.
How dare you give me this ridiculous garbage?
I'm not scamming you. Please believe me.
I know I messed up.
I was just too immature back then.
So?
Is that why you slept with someone when you had a husband?
Is that why you threatened him and demanded money...
and posted garbage at the school and got him kicked out?
You schemed with that jerk...
and seduced Professor Yoon.
I was fooled too. I fell for that jerk's trap.
I'm sorry.
Enough. Stop forcing those tears and tell us.
Is that boy...
really my brother's son?
Are you scamming us with another boyfriend's kid?
How could you say that?
I told you. He's your brother's son.
If that's true, why did you only show up now?
You've been quiet until now.
Ki Seok screened my calls and ignored my texts.
He said he'd call the cops if I showed up...
and threatened to get a restraining order.
I knew how Grandmother was.
It wasn't easy for me to come here.
And I wouldn't have if it weren't for Yi Jae.
Enough with your lies.
I don't believe anything you say.
Don't be like that.
Yi Jae is your son.
- I swear. - Do you think I'll believe you?
Ki Seok. Don't waste your breath.
DNA tests are quick nowadays.
That's right. Let's get a DNA test.
Where do you think you're going?
Yi Jae is sleeping upstairs.
What's going on?
Do you think he's really your son?
You must know.
I don't know what's going on.
What do we do?
She even brought a luggage bag.
I think she plans to stay.
Request a DNA test tomorrow.
Don't tell Gemma for the time being.
Seriously.
How lame.
It's exactly as it was back then.
What is it? Learn to knock, will you?
Give me a few strands of his hair.
How could you do this? We just got here.
Hey, lady.
I've been fooled by you too many times before.
If he's my brother's kid, I'm his uncle.
Naturally, I need to know whether or not it's true.
Here.
Thank you.
Phase one succeeded.
But they want a DNA test.
Looks like things will move quickly.
It's fine even if you get caught.
If a storm hits before then,
I can put an end to it.
Yu Kyung, have some of this.
I never imagined I'd get to live with you.
This is so nice.
I feel the same.
How do you feel? Are you all better now?
I've had a lot going on,
so I've been inattentive.
I know.
But...
Actually, everything that happened that day was caught on camera.
Assemblyman Son and Ms. Min...
Me being hit and falling. All of it.
What?
Those jerks.
Gun Wook threw a fit...
and said we should report him for hitting a woman...
and causing a miscarriage,
but I stopped him.
In case you'll need that video at some point later on.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
It really made me think.
I was so angry, and it felt like...
my heart was being torn to shreds...
after they hit me and made me lose my baby.
I wanted to kill them both so badly...
But it must've been so hard for you all these years.
They've done such terrible things to you...
but you're still alive.
Truth be told, I wanted to stop you when you said...
you were going to get revenge.
But I won't. I will not stop you.
People like that deserve to be punished.
Yu Kyung.
I'll help you.
I'll give you all the videos.
Do whatever you want.
Please punish them.
But you can't get hurt, okay?
If you don't think that's possible, don't bother.
That scares me the most.
Don't worry.
That won't happen.
I won't regret it.
I'll punish those people.
I swear on my dad's name.
I'll punish them for everything...
including what they did to you.
(Gemma)
Why aren't you answering?
That room looks the same,
but this room is completely different.
- Get out. - Ki Seok.
I gave birth to your son.
Don't mistreat me like that anymore.
It's lame.
Are you doing this for money?
Do you want money?
Ki Seok.
You approached me for my money from the get-go.
You pretended to be a naive freshman and seduced me.
You took my money and my career.
You've ruined my life completely.
But you want me to trust you?
Sorry. I was messed up.
I admit it.
But I've changed.
I want to start over with you.
There's nothing stopping us. We have a son now.
What?
I'm a mom now.
I know I can be a good mom, wife,
and granddaughter-in-law.
Get out of my face.
Oh my gosh.
You've gotten tough.
This is fun.
You're just Ko Eun Cho then and now.
The sickening, repulsive, low-life skank Ko Eun Cho.
Don't say that.
You fell for me when I was young and cute...
and begged me incessantly to marry you.
You shouldn't talk like that now.
Am I wrong, Professor?
You liked me so much.
I guess you don't even see me now that you have a new woman.
How lame.
Get out.
Come by...
quietly tonight if you want to.
I'm ready.
(Gemma)
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone
Hello, Mr. Yoon. Good morning.
Good morning.
May I ask you something?
Did something happen to Ki Seok?
Why?
Well... I kept calling, but he wouldn't pick up.
He didn't reply to my texts either.
Well... I don't know.
Did his phone break?
Here.
Is it good?
Here.
Yi Jae. Grandma's here.
You should say hello.
Hello.
Yi Jae is a good eater. He sleeps well too.
He's well-behaved just like Ki Seok.
How old are you?
How old?
My gosh. What a smart boy.
Eat a lot, okay?
I'm going to step away and use the bathroom.
Isn't he cute?
Of course. All children are angels.
But... What if by chance...
the DNA test says he is Mr. Yoon's son?
What about Gemma?
- Watch his. - Okay.
Do exactly as I say.
If you do a good job, I'll give you a bonus.
This should be fun.
If you ruin things early on with bad acting, you get nothing.
And report back to me regularly...
via text.
I have a question.
If I bring a child, they'll run a DNA test for sure.
Then they'll know I'm a fraud.
What's the point?
We'll buy time while waiting for the result.
Use that time to seduce him.
Ki Seok.
Seduce him?
I'm sure you're not telling me to get back together with him.
But you want me to seduce him?
Why?
Kim Gemma.
Kim Gemma?
They're getting married.
Break them up...
so they don't get married.
(Chuseok and Christmas Marketing)
As you see, the peak seasons will be Chuseok and Christmas.
We'll provide mattress gift sets,
and the concept will be showing love during the holidays...
to family whom we miss.
Whose phone is that?
(Lora Mattress Chuseok Gift Set)
Mom, isn't that your phone?
(Ko Eun Cho)
Sorry.
Please continue.
We plan to suggest giving mattresses to family during the holiday...
and trigger the consumers' desire to shop.
That's right. So our idea was a consumer model contest...
or requesting consumers to post photos after purchase...
(Ko Eun Cho)
What is it?
I said to text, not call.
I forgot. Give me Gemma's number.
Fine.
Why are you so busy?
This is an important meeting.
Even if you can't help, you shouldn't get in the way.
Sorry. It was my mistake.
Hello?
Is this Ms. Kim Gemma?
Hi, David?
It's been a while.
Are you still managing Secret Bio Gene?
Awesome.
I'd like to ask you for a genetic test.
Can you help me out?
All right. Thank you, David.
I'll call you back.
Who's that?
David.
That American guy with the long beard?
Yes.
Whose DNA are you testing?
It's nothing.
I'm hungry. Let's go eat.
I'll go.
Hello.
Where's Mr. Yoon Ki Seok?
He just stepped out to meet with someone.
Who should I say came by?
Yi Jae. What should we do?
Daddy isn't here.
Daddy?
I hear you have rooms.
Lead us to one.
Don't you hear me?
I said to lead us there!
Pardon? Yes, ma'am.
This way.
Let's go.
Here.
If someone comes later asking for me, bring her here.
Who...
Why are you asking me that?
That person will tell you when she gets here.
Sit still! Stop annoying me.
Excuse me. I'm sorry,
but how do you know Mr. Yoon?
I'm his wife.
Well, ex-wife.
What?
Mom.
(Pulses Krill56)
You got off work early.
I'm meeting someone at the chicken place.
Here. I picked up sundae and tteokbokki for you.
My gosh. You are the best.
Who are you meeting at the chicken place?
An interview with a magazine.
I'll stop by when I'm done. Let's go home together.
Okay. Good luck.
- Yu Kyung. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Yoon isn't here.
I'm giving an interview.
Meet them somewhere else.
What do you mean? We're supposed to meet in that room.
Hello? This is Kim Gemma.
You're here already? Okay.
This isn't it. You're mistaken.
- She said she was in the room. - Wait.
But...
Oh no.
Hello.
(Red Shoes)
I heard Mr. Yoon's ex-wife showed up with a kid.
He's divorced?
- Mom... - Don't do it.
You don't have to.
Do whatever you want.
Doesn't he look like Ki Seok?
He looks exactly like him from when he was a kid.
Let's start over with Yi Jae.
Gemma.
It's okay.
I need to talk to you.
