The King...
wanted your head.
Please take good care of my poor children.
Let's meet as good friends in our next lives.
Gyeom must be coming here.
I think it's time.
What?
Thank you all for your hard work.
My lady!
Please take care of yourselves no matter where you go.
How could the King...
want to kill a weak woman?
How dare you!
Stop right there!
Please spare Lord Lee Gyeom's life.
Please stop this!
It's an arrest order for a criminal!
An arrest order for a criminal!
Who's the criminal?
What did you just say?
You!
You little thief!
You've always wanted to go to Keumkangsan.
Go there and paint or do whatever you want.
Just go, Mother.
Please stay with me just for three days.
Could you please let me keep that promise I once made
that we will paint together at Keumkangsan?
That way.
The moon is about to wake up from its nap.
The Sun resents the moon that
sleeps all day and wakes up later at night.
The sun doesn't know
how hard it is for the moon to keep the darkness away alone at night.
The sun doesn't know that the moon is keeping its side.
I loved you
with all my heart.
Saimdang!
All the forgery cases at famous galleries were started by RADE.
So while Ji-Yoon is doing her thing,
you think we should show the real Keumkangsando to RADE.
Reveal the real Keumkangsando to the world.
We need to steal the real Keumkangsando.
No!
Where's Keumkangsando?
You mean this?
No!
Did you think I really got rid of it?
The police?
Huh?
Is there no chance of him being alive?
Eun-soo!
Dad.
I'm glad you're here.
(Episode 25)
Hang in there just a little bit more.
I think we'll find a way out of this.
Don't get sick or die.
You haven't heard from RADE yet, right?
No.
Can we trust him?
We know nothing about him.
From what I've seen so far, I don't think he's the enemy.
The important thing is to get him on our side.
We don't want RADE to take credit for all of our work.
Let's just wait and trust him for now.
What is this?
He uploaded something new!
Scroll down.
This is Keumkangsando!
Hidden catch.
Finding the hidden picture?
This isn't a real puzzle.
I think he uploaded it as a joke.
He might've read all of our messages.
And this might be his answer to them.
That's right.
I have the answer.
My goodness. It's great over here!
I should live at a place like this too.
Oh! Isn't that Ji-Yoon?
- Ji-Yoon! - Ji-Yoon!
Ji-Yoon!
Eun-soo, you grew up so much.
Ji-Yoon!
Look. "The Hidden Catch." Find the hidden picture.
This might be an answer to our request.
He wouldn't post something like this otherwise.
Oh, and I've also decoded most of the story for Sujinbang.
I made a lot of progress.
Do you want to hear it?
I'll read it. You can leave it with me.
- Okay. - All right then. Sure.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry we jumped right into work.
It's fine.
Ji-Yoon.
Get a good rest.
Let's work hard on it again.
How much longer do you think can we fight for?
Now that I think about it,
I feel most bad for you guys.
It's not your fight,
but I dragged you guys in for my sake.
Hey, don't say something like that.
We're doing this because we want to.
Ji-Yoon.
Why would you feel bad?
You were fired because of me! This is all my fault!
I always let my emotions get the best of me!
I always jump at things without thinking!
I always mess up.
Hey.
That's your charm and strength, you rascal.
Drink up.
Nice.
Ji-Yoon.
If we stop now,
we're letting the world win.
Let's have another glass.
We don't have any left. Ma'am, one more bottle please!
I won't take long. Wait for me here.
Yes, sir.
- You've got to win this time. - That's right.
Hello.
Welcome!
This is Professor Min Jung-hak, the president of Hankuk University.
He isn't one yet.
He still needs approval from the chairman of the board.
Sir, I met you at the forum last time.
I'm Min Jung-hak.
I heard the ministry of culture is investing a lot
into Hankuk University to support national treasures.
The government is giving its full support because of Professor Min's reputation.
Thank you!
You're too kind.
Supporting education is a valuable investment for the future.
That's right!
Sir.
Dad.
Dad, I'm sorry.
Why did you drink so much?
I had a couple of drinks.
- All right, all right. - I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
Let's get you inside.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine.
- Have a good night. - Thanks.
Are you okay?
How about you?
I'm dying.
You drank all the drinks in this neighborhood yesterday.
I won't say anything Ji-Yoon.
Even if you want to stop everything and have the team disband.
The most important things right now is that you and Eun-soo are okay.
Who cares about that painting?
I'll wait for you.
However long it may take.
Thanks Sang-hyun.
If it weren't for my husband, I'd spend another night here.
But don't you get restless not doing anything?
I'm going to be teaching at the culture center.
That's great.
Someone at the city asked her.
It's because I've always bragged about her.
The people here are lucky that they get to take a class from Professor Seo.
Eun-soo, listen to your grandfather, okay?
- Bye. - Bye Ji-Yoon.
Bye Eun-soo! Take care sir.
Bye.
Let's go.
- Come back soon! - Okay! Thank you.
Sure. Have a safe trip back.
- Drive safely. - Got it.
Bye.
Bye!
Let's go inside Eun-soo.
Eun-soo.
Do you hate your mom...
a lot?
Are you doing this because you're really mad at her?
Your mom loves your so much.
And she loves your dad too.
Mom...
never told dad that she missed him.
Eun-soo, that's because--
I'm sure dad was really hurt all by himself...
I wanted to call him and tell him that I love him.
But mom didn't let me.
She said I can't call him.
It's all her fault.
It's because she didn't want to live with dad.
That's why he went to heaven.
No, Eun-soo...
"The Hidden Catch." Find the hidden picture.
This might be an answer to our request.
"Courage is fear that has said its prayers."
The person in the painting went all the way to Italy?
To emphasize that he's a visitor from a far away place,
a sailing boat is shown.
The miracle of Saint Francis Xavier...
The Chinese name is Bang Je-gak.
As a missionary, Saint Francis Xavier,
found a man from the crowd dressed in Joseon clothing.
That looks like him.
Italy...
Come in.
Professor.
What is it?
This was posted on RADE's blog last night.
I heard something strange.
RADE has picked Keumkangsando as his target this time.
You haven't learned your lessons yet.
I can't believe you're pulling this prank.
What are you talking about?
Are you sure this is from RADE's blog?
Yes, I'm sure.
It wasn't Seo Ji-Yoon?
This has the anti-aging effects that the young people talk about a lot these days.
Are you feeling okay?
Huh?
I'm fine.
- You're sweating. - Thank you.
I had chicken stew for lunch.
Maybe it was spoiled. It's making me feel a little...
The number you have called is not available. Please leave a message after the tone.
What's wrong?
I'm going to go to Seoul for a bit.
Why?
I'll tell you when I get back.
Mother.
Mother?
Mother!
Mother?
Mother!
She's fatigued and has anemia.
I don't think she's been eating much.
Her fever has gone down, so she'll be feeling much better.
Please help her get some rest.
Good bye.
It must be time for me to go too.
I couldn't even take care of myself.
I guess it's not time yet since you recovered very quickly.
You should've just told me. Why did you say you were okay?
Because it doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
I don't want to make my dead son as an excuse to get in the way of your future.
What are you talking about?
If it were up to me, I'd raise Eun-soo myself.
But I'm sure he needs his mother more than he needs me.
And you should meet someone--
And get a better life?
I can't accept the fact that he has left yet.
And I have no plan of leaving you.
Hey!
What is this?
Why haven't the two of you reported it to me?
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
You call this nothing?!
RAS or whatever his name is!
I heard he's known worldwide!
I heard about everything!
Look at our situation!
Keumkangsando was hung at the summit,
and it's on the verge of being listed as a national treasure.
We can't have any lose ends!
I'll take care of it.
Have you guys personally received any messages or threats?
Hey!
Answer me!
We haven't.
Hold on.
Is Seo Ji-Yoon involved in this?
I don't think so.
Are you sure?
I said, are you sure?!
Is this all?
Are these everything from the masters and PhD students?
Yes.
Listen carefully.
Find all of the theses that are similar to this one.
What?
Do I need to repeat myself?
Find any thesis that has a similar title or content!
Professor Min just ordered us to do that thing, right?
This is driving me crazy.
Ahnkyun's Keumkangsando?
Yes.
Ahnkyun's real Keumkangsando is mentioned from the beginning.
These are copies of the pictures taken of the paper using a microscope.
We bought it as a reference.
This is interesting.
Hye-Jung.
Doesn't he look like he can help us?
Yes.
He said it's interesting.
For an appraiser to call something interesting--
He's pretty much saying that it's the real deal.
They got a new president of the association with a new group of members.
Maybe we can look forward to it.
Someone with the right eye will recognize the Sujinbang story.
Eun-soo.
There are times when adults can't be honest.
We can't say "I love you" to the people we love.
And we can't tell them that we miss them even if we do.
It's very sad,
but we don't show it because we don't want people to think we're weak.
But if we don't express our feelings,
we may never get the chance to do so.
When that happens, it's so upsetting...
that for a long time...
our hearts are...
Our hearts are in a lot of pain, Eun-soo.
No medicine will help.
I'm in so much pain,
because I feel so bad for your dad.
I wanted to tell him...
that I loved him...
that I missed him...
and that I'm sorry.
But I didn't get a chance to.
That's why I feel so bad.
That's why my heart hurts so much.
I'm sorry to you too, Eun-soo.
That's why I'm being punished.
I'm going to take it.
I'm sorry Eun-soo.
I don't want you to get punished.
And I don't want you to cry either.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
This is Chochoongdo by Saimdang.
Other Asian artists like Saimdang painted plants as they were seen in nature.
Saimdang focused on familiar figures such as Platycodon and China Pink flowers.
(My daughter-in-law)
We're strangers now.
We need to be strangers.
Mother!
Mother, you're the best!
Mother.
I made you some porridge.
What I want isn't a new father for Eun-soo, it's you.
The mother of the man I loved the most in the world.
Eun-soo needs his grandmother too.
No, to be honest,
I need you more than Eun-soo does.
Mother, why aren't you picking up your phone?
You have to come today, okay?
I'm waiting at the station.
I'm going to wait until you come.
Hey. Why is the walk to the exit so long?
Mother!
You didn't give me an option to reply to your text.
How could you treat your mother-in-law like that?
I thought you didn't come.
I really wasn't going to...
But you came.
Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't come to see you.
I came, but my plans haven't changed.
You live your life, and I'll live mine.
We can talk about that later.
Let's go.
- Lead the way. My legs hurt. - Okay. Let's go.
- It's heavy, give it to me. - It's fine.
How's Eun-soo?
I'm glad you're here.
Let's go.
Wow! That looks good.
It's more like a late night snack than dinner.
You're right.
Grandpa should take the first bite.
It's okay.
The rice is so good!
My goodness, your mom is such a good cook.
Isn't she?
- Thank you. - See you next time.
All right.
Eun-soo!
(Painted by Jung Eun-soo)
Eun-soo!
- Eun-soo! - Mom.
Where were you?
I went to the restroom.
Did you paint this?
Someone helped me out.
- Who? - Some guy.
He was really handsome.
He had this really cool camera too.
It was huge.
Camera?
Some guy. He was really handsome.
The one who found out that "The Little Bouquet" was not authentic was
the mysterious blogger RADE, who is called "The Art Judge Without a Face."
RADE analyzed the particles and pigments of paints and paper
and the artist's signature and decided that the painting is fake.
The material evidence was that "The Little Bouquet," which is known to be
from the 17th century was painted with the oil paint color Prussian,
which was created in the 18th century.
Hello, sir.
How have you been?
Thank you so much.
I am very honored and grateful.
The Sujinbang incident?
All right. I understand.
Why are they so hung up on it?
Ms. Seo.
There's been a problem with your thesis.
You need to come and see us.
Hello.
Yes, speaking.
Thesis committee?
Dear faculty and family.
I, Min Jung-hak, as the chairman of Hankuk University,
invite you in our first step towards this grand journey.
Together we will make Hankuk University an elite university of the global world.
Let's do this together.
Listen to me carefully.
Search for the paper that has similar aspects with these theses.
- Sorry? - You didn't hear me?
Title, content.
Find any other theses that have any similarities with these.
My bibliography includes all the references I used.
These papers, they do not have my sources.
Maybe you didn't look into it thoroughly.
How could I have missed it when they have similar titles as mine?
Obviously this is an error of the thesis resources analyze system.
If the system says that the possibility of plagiarism is over 90%, it cannot be a mistake.
You practically copied and pasted it.
I cannot accept this.
Give me the list of the professors and authors who are accusing me of this.
No need to do that.
Just follow the policy and write an explanation letter.
No way.
I didn't do anything wrong. Why do I have to explain this?
If you don't follow the policy, we might have to revoke your degree.
Ji-Yoon!
Sang-hyun.
Are you here--
This is about what I am guessing, isn't it?
Did they--
That bastard!
Don't be emotional.
We won't gain anything by talking to him now.
WE must find out what motivated him to do this.
I have to go down to Pyeongchang now so go talk to Hye-Jung first.
(Notice from HR: Ko Hye-Jung, Recommended Resignation)
I can't believe this.
This person was involved in unfair and illegal practice outside the scope of her work
we recommend a voluntary resignation.
What are you looking at?
Sang-hyun.
I knew it.
I'll talk to Hye-Jung.
I got it.
RADE?
I thought you should know about this too.
What made you think that?
Why?
Because your gallery's showing the fake Keumkangsando,
which is nominated for a national treasure.
- Are you threatening me? - No.
Let's say it's a request for cooperation.
Whether we like it or not, we are in this together.
Am I not right?
You're mistaken.
You're going to be the only one who's going to fall.
Did you really think people like me would be ruined because of this?
- Ma'am. - Professor Min.
That chairman position must have inflated your ego.
You should take this to my husband.
I'm sure he'll love this.
Let's say I did use some of the equipment from the lab without a permission.
Is it so wrong?
I only did it to find Ahnkyun's real Keumkangsando.
Is it wrong to use the equipment bought with tax
for such a noble cause?
I feel you.
Min Jung-hak, that bastard must have set us up.
As if to add insult to injury, they are about to place
the fake Keumkangsando in the national treasure.
What a messed up world.
Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Rubens's "Man in Korean Costume."
Why did RADE send me the picture of "Man in Korean Costume"?
Is he the same man?
Ji-Yoon! Ji-Yoon!
Our souls are intertwined. It's a poem called Valedictory.
It's my favorite poem.
Keumkangsando.
Sujinbang Diary.
Saimdang.
Italy.
"Man in Korean Costume." RADE...
What does all this mean?
- Mom. - Yes, honey.
- What is it? - Give me your hand.
My hand?
Isn't this China Pink Bracelet?
Yes, I bought this with grandpa.
It's beautiful.
Thanks, Eun-soo.
I got this to cheer you up. So you could be as happy as before.
My baby's a man now, aren't you?
I am so happy.
I'll be strong for you.
You can do it, Mom.
Yes! I can do it!
I have something to tell you.
I am going to go to Seoul tomorrow, Dad.
Have you decided?
Yes.
I think I found the answer.
My goodness, you were begging me to come with you to Pyeongchang only a few days ago.
I'm sorry, Mother.
There's something I must do.
I've got things to do too. The company's asking when I will be back.
I was going to go to Seoul before you do.
I'm going to leave on the first train tomorrow. Come with Eun-soo later.
- Why don't you stay a little big longer? - No, I am fine.
She says she can't do anything without me.
I should pretend to believe and play along.
What is this?
I don't know anything about women's cosmetic stuff.
So I asked the sales girl to give me the best one they got.
I hope you like this.
I love you, sweetheart.
Eun-soo. Eun-soo, it's time to go.
Wake up. We have to go to Seoul.
Good morning.
Grandpa, we will come back in summer.
Of course. I'll see you then.
Dad.
You are going to beat this.
I'm proud of you every moment.
Go on now.
Thank you, Dad.
Hey.
- How's your hangover? - I am dying.
Gosh, this feels good.
What are you going to do from now on?
I don't know.
I might as well give this line of career a try.
This line of career?
One of my seniors found a private appraisal company after retiring.
He's making a fortune with it.
I guess I will join him and try to make some money.
I'm glad to hear it.
- It's from Ji-Yoon. - Yeah?
- Are you ready for the throwdown? - Hm?
Throwdown?
- Come in. - Sir.
Ms. Seo is here to see you.
- Excuse me. - Leave us.
You're looking well.
Something good happened lately?
I heard about your plagiarism. I thought you were honest at least with your work.
I'm disappointed.
That's one thing I intend to correct as the chairman of this university.
- What's the matter? - I'm ashamed.
I'm ashamed of the short time I worked with you.
Just like you, my fight has been all about artworks.
I only cared about their monetary values.
But there's something more valuable.
An artist's mind and soul is more important than the value of his or her work.
From now on,
I will fight to protect their mind.
I'll do anything.
People like you...
can never take away my dignity.
Even when you rob me of my degree.
Seo Ji-Yoon.
Try all you want.
It will only feed my will.
Excuse me, sir.
What did you think of it?
This is a pure fiction.
What?
A fiction?
Did you read thoroughly?
You saw all the evidence and findings, right?
Anyone can tell this is authentic document from the 16th century.
I guess they could have written a story on the paper from the 16th century.
The handwriting is strange too.
I am not sure about this.
That's why you have to find a proper appraiser.
Why would I hire an appraiser for something with such ambiguous source?
Besides, Saimdang's journal we haven't heard about so far?
Goodness, this is ridiculous.
Go home, guys.
Min Jung-hak.
You know him well, don't you?
Did he call you in advance?
I don't know who that is.
I am so disappointed in you.
I thought things would be difference now that we have the new director.
Forget it, Sang-hyun.
Heritage doesn't lie. People lie.
If this book is authentic, the truth will come out eventually.
Let's go. Don't leave anything.
THis is messed up.
I can't believe this.
This is RADE.
We need to talk in person.
They speak Korean.
It's okay to tell your colleagues about getting in
touch with me, but don't tell them about meeting me.
It's for my security.
Time and place for the meeting is--
Ji-Yoon!
This country's art academia is going to pieces!
They are all the same. Min Jung-hak and the director.
- I've got an email. - From who?
RADE.
RADE? Are you serious?
RADE?
Man, how can they do that to me.
They ignored all my emails.
Now they are contacting Ji-Yoon?
- What about me? - Hush now.
Don't you remember she found them all? Sujinbang diary, Keumkangsando.
I wouldn't contact you either. So what happened?
They said they'll get back to me.
For now, they just told me that they read Sang-hyun's emails.
That's good news. I am so happy.
RADE is on our side then, right?
Hey, do you know--
how much cash can be put into the vitamin box?
Cash?
- $50 dollar bill? - Yeah.
$50 dollar bill.
100,000 dollars?
10,000 dollars.
What is it?
Did something happen?
What's wrong? Do you need money?
This...
is no fiction.
This is Shin Saimdang's journal.
It's her essay.
That's going to make Keumkangsando even more valuable.
But...
I'm sorry, Ma'am. We are closing.
I'm meeting someone here.
Sure.
Do I...
Do I know you?
Wow, she's pretty.
Take a seat.
You're even more beautiful in person.
I never expected RADE to be a Korean.
There are Koreans.
What?
RADE is not one person.
It's an organization.
Asian members are in charge of Asian art.
The case of "The Little Bouquet" was investigated by Europe team.
There must be lots of members.
Nobody knows how many people we have.
We don't know each other's nationality.
That's that.
Anyways, we were on to Keumkangsando even before Han Sang-hyun sent us the email.
We got on to it the moment we saw that video of yours.
Can I ask a question?
I'd like to ask Ms. Seo.
Are you confident that this is Ahnkyun's authentic painting?
I...
I'm not sure.
Yeah, boss. I did what you told me to do.
She might do something more extreme if we push her.
- How can this be... - This is the choice I made to protect you.
Let me see him just once.
- I'll send him the poison. - Please, Your Majesty.
Please save Lord Lee Gyeom's life.
I choose whether he'll live or die.
Make it look like he died while trying to escape.
I am going to record of my memory.
The painting is alive.
I'm going to make her suffer for the rest of her life.
Saimdang...?
