Even if Father doesn't accept me,
I hope he welcomes our Do Young.
Please get my daughter out of here.
Aren't you Chairman Wi Dong Sub's daughter-in-law?
Keep it safe, Chairwoman.
Until I take this ring off your finger.
If you want to protect your love,
you'd better love me first.
Can you explain about her family picture?
The DNA comparison of the man...
who recognized the chairwoman and her three children.
You are the only match.
I lived a lie.
(Episode 10)
I feel betrayed.
What are you doing at Chairwoman Kim's party?
What power does a politician have?
I come when I'm called.
Why is she here when she's no politician?
Welcome.
How are you?
Excuse me.
Lee Hui Seob is dead.
It wasn't Jogwang.
Only the chairwoman and we know where he is.
It was Chairwoman Kim.
Ye Nam.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
What was that?
The old man for the press conference...
has been killed.
And we have nothing to do with this.
We're screwed.
The man who called the press conference...
has been killed.
What's this all about?
Did you and your family plot this...
behind my back?
This time,
I'm afraid...
you made a mistake.
Congratulations on your reappointment.
Thank you.
The result of the preferred bidder selection has been announced.
Jogwang Group has been selected as the preferred bidder.
Oh, my, I feel awful.
That I have to drop bad news...
at your reappointment celebration.
We will make sure to look after your future as well.
What is going on?
Are you worried?
If we fail to keep the promises we made over our marriage?
I secure the position I desire within Deo Group.
And you take advantage of me...
to secure your love from your mother.
At this rate, my mother will turn her back on you.
Nevertheless, you'll have no issue.
You and your mother seem closer than ever.
You'd better hurry up before she figures it all out.
She's just exploiting you.
You know she's not going to give you a seat at the table so easily.
Maybe she already knows your plan.
Because she needs you right now,
she might've been playing ignorant.
Are you worried about me...
or threatening me?
I'm not sure which one it is.
While I'm at it, I'll say this one last time.
Don't become weak...
even if the situation gets worse.
What are you implying?
I'll go get some fresh air.
Don't wait for me and sleep first.
So what's going to happen to Jung Hyuk and Ms. Jang?
The international city plan went down the drain.
Is this what you get after all the fuss your family made?
All the stuff with Oh Tae Seok, the dead police officer,
and her daughter who's working for Ms. Jang.
Gosh.
All you did turned out for nothing.
I thought you were going to throw a pillow at me.
What's wrong?
Why don't you just yell and throw things?
You got kicked out too?
The ladies in this family must have a thing for kicking men out.
I'll feel embarrassed if Ms. Jang sees me.
So I just got out.
I didn't know you'd be here too.
So what is going to happen to Ms. Jang now?
Chairwoman Kim sees marriage as a contract.
And now the conditions aren't met.
If it was for a puppy, she would think it's cute...
even when it poops.
However, Ms. Jang is different. She's a cow of Deo Group.
If a cow becomes obsolete,
the next thing is to be sent to the butchery.
You seem quite happy...
- with where you are. - Pardon?
You think you're the puppy, don't you?
That rude brat. I'm of the same age as you.
You're nothing without the silver spoon.
Darn it.
Last night, I couldn't sleep a wink...
because I was so angry and upset.
But when the dawn came,
I realized that there's no way you'd back down like this...
without any backup plan.
I thought you'd come to me...
and tell me that there's a way out of this.
I believed that you didn't show up just to pull my leg,
but you secretly prepared a solution for me.
Tell me.
Even if you say you pushed me to the fiery pit...
to torture me all night,
I will forgive you.
Tell me!
Tell me that you have a plan.
Could you come to Yungcheon Prosecutors' Office?
We've got a report that you need to confirm.
As Yungcheon's renovation project is such a big issue around here,
we're privately investigating it.
We've received a report regarding a Deo Group's member...
handing over the bidding price to Jogwang Group.
Here it is.
Does this woman handing the document over belong to Deo Group?
I do have a solution, Chairwoman Kim.
Yungcheon International City's preferred bidder...
will be Deo Group, not Jogwang Group.
Why don't you file an indictment against the industrial spy?
No, I will put it on hold.
She wouldn't do it.
But there's clear evidence right in front of you.
Ms. Jang.
You truly impress me.
As if I'm in the palm of your hands.
It can't get more thrilling than this.
I wanted to check how desperate...
you and I were to achieve our goal.
When will you take care of...
Lee Ju Ho and Lee Hyun Ji?
Everything will be taken care of in due course.
I can't lose sleep...
for more than three days.
Sort things out before that.
The original security footage. Who ordered you to delete it?
Who do you think? The woman who came with you before.
I just followed orders and deleted it.
Why are you giving me trouble suddenly?
What do you want me to do?
Yes, ma'am.
I kept my promise.
This is Deo Group's bid.
Ms. Jang.
Lee Hyun Ji colluded with Jogwang and committed fraud,
so we need to turn the tables.
She found out Deo's bid price and used it.
According to the International Contract Law...
clause 76,
about banning any corrupt entity to participate in the bidding,
Jogwang won't be able to participate in any international city project...
from now on.
You're the one who reported it...
to the prosecution, isn't it?
And the security footage was fabricated too.
Tip off your bid price to Jogwang?
You don't want to become the preferred bidder.
You'll set a trap...
to land a critical blow and get rid of them for good.
How can you frame Lee Hyun Ji as an industrial spy?
Why on earth did you do that?
Since when did you start questioning...
my decisions?
Chairwoman Kim...
wants to get rid of Lee Hyun Ji.
You saw what happened to Ye Nam's father,
and what happens if Chairwoman Kim takes care of things herself.
This is better for Lee Hyun Ji's sake as well.
We have no second option, nor any time left.
Do as I say, Sun Woo.
Deo's industrial spy, Lee Hyun Ji...
gave Deo's bid price to Lee Myung Han of Jogwang.
The selection of the preferred bidder will be canceled.
As the second place, Deo will take Jogwang's place.
Jogwang will be removed from this international city project.
And you will press charges against Lee Hyun Ji and Lee Myung Han...
and hand them over to the prosecution.
Lee Hyun Ji will be hurt badly.
She's relying on you.
If you can't do it yourself,
forget it.
Do Young.
Why are you so surprised?
The convenience store owner said he can't keep this anymore.
Since it doesn't feel right to throw it out myself,
I think you should take care of it.
Whether you get rid of it or keep it.
Okay.
Is it because you lost the bid for the international city project?
What will happen now?
Honestly, I'm afraid to ask Ms. Jang.
In your opinion,
am I a useful person?
Can I keep staying here?
I need some time.
I need to find out...
why I'm so troubled.
You look like you won't tell me even if I ask.
You don't have to throw that out.
You said it made you sad.
(The late Kim Yeon Woo)
(I hope you go to a better world...)
Doesn't Yeon Woo have a great smile?
You brought the same flowers as me.
I have something to tell you.
I'll do it.
Come back later.
Why?
What is Jung Hyuk doing?
What will you do with Do Young now?
I'll watch her turn the tables.
I want to see that jerk's face from Jogwang turn blue.
He probably thinks he has the world by now...
lost in his meaningless dreams.
Did she...
keep it a secret from you too?
Of course she should.
Whatever it is Do Young is up to,
discuss it with me from now on.
If we both achieve what we want,
I'll get a divorce.
Why are you...
saying that suddenly?
I realized that...
we cannot become family.
A divorce?
Everyone's searching for a way to survive now.
- Are you all right? - Don't ask.
Questions about how I feel.
I was foolish.
In order to beat you, instead of fighting against you,
I shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.
When you coaxed Mom with the international city project,
I should have opposed it.
Not getting involved just like you want...
is actually the way to beat you.
I don't care whether Deo or Jogwang wins.
I also realized I don't have to try to impress Mom.
Now that Jogwang has won,
things might be easier...
than trying to impress Mom to succeed her.
The chairwoman will swallow you whole.
She knows your weakness and one day...
will try to use it.
That I'm not a real Wi?
How can she prove it?
She got rid of my only weakness.
I'm not sad at all.
I think he's better off dead.
I'm grateful he gave me life,
but such is the lives of some.
Don't you ever look at me with pity again.
You and I are not the same.
I won't let something like that weigh me down.
You can have this.
Ms. Wi.
I bet Mom's curious...
as to what I'm thinking.
I used to run to her and scream my mind.
I'm thinking...
how I can hurt her deeply.
A few words alone...
don't hurt her at all.
You didn't know, did you?
What Mom would do to the man who is my father.
I'll make her regret it.
She turned my life into a lie...
and took my father from me.
I want her to get hurt.
Ms. Wang, you're still up.
I checked the breakfast ingredients.
I see.
Have you seen Jung Hyuk?
He's been so hard to get a hold of.
Not really.
He must be late then.
Okay. Goodnight.
Hello, Mayor Do.
I wanted to see you in private.
Shouldn't you clean the plot before you break ground?
Somewhere nearby...
floats a dead girl...
and a dead police officer.
You haven't cleaned that up yet.
Your weakness and mine...
is Lee Hyun Ji, the girl Jenny took in.
Now that Jenny's out,
shouldn't we get rid of her too?
(Prosecutor Cha Seung Jae)
What brought you here?
You must be busy trying not to get thrown out.
I'm here out of camaraderie.
Ye Nam will throw you out as well.
It's a matter of time.
You sent me this?
Why do what I didn't ask?
Forget shame...
and think of a way to stay married.
A DNA comparison of Ye Nam and the man behind...
the paternity commotion.
(Test Result Report)
(99.99 percent match)
Ye Nam is...
the dead man's daughter?
That man's death was ruled an accident due to...
a mistake in drug administration.
Use that only to pressure Ye Nam.
If you look into the man's death...
and the chairwoman finds out,
then no one can guarantee your safety.
Bring all the medical accidents that were closed last week.
(Lawsuit against industrial spy)
These are the closed medical cases.
Use that only to pressure Ye Nam.
If the chairwoman finds out,
then no one can guarantee your safety.
- Thanks. - Sure.
Right.
The lawsuit against the industrial spy hasn't been filed yet.
Have you heard anything?
Wait, and don't ask.
Yes, sir.
How are they?
They just came in and they're fresh.
- I'll take a look around first. - Okay. Come right back.
Take a look.
(Raw chicken)
Come and take a look!
Take a look.
Hello. What cut do you need?
How much for a portion of bulgogi?
13 dollars.
I'll buy bulgogi for dinner.
- Really? - See you.
- Enough for four. - Okay. I'll give you extra.
Meat! Are we having meat for the birthday party?
It's Hyun Ji's mom's birthday and you're excited?
- Are you done? - Yes.
Is it just us three?
At the birthday dinner?
Who else is there?
You know. Our drinking buddy.
My gosh.
Forget about him. Mr. Yoon has no time for that.
That depends on whether you make the time.
I'll call him.
Call who?
Where did you get his number?
Don't. I said don't.
This is Yoon Sun Woo.
Mr. Yoon.
Hello, it's Hyun Ji's sister. You know me, don't you?
- Don't. - I called to say that...
we're going to celebrate...
Hyun Ji's mom's birthday this evening.
We forgot to buy a cake.
I'd really appreciate it if you'd bring one.
You paid our rent. You can afford a cake.
You don't mind, do you? Come over by 9pm.
I'll cook you...
Hello? Mr. Yoon, it's Hyun Ji.
You don't have to come.
It was going to be a small...
I'll come.
What?
I'll come.
Okay... Okay then.
Do as you wish.
See? Wasn't I right?
Here you go.
We have just the right number.
You, me, your mom, and Ye Jun.
It always was us four.
Mr. Yoon's a really great guy.
Let's get going.
We invited a guest, so we should be prepared.
- Come along, Ye Jun. - Let's go.
- Goodbye. - Bye!
This hot spot is...
the main asset of the international city project, right?
The development and prosperity of the old and new cities...
was something Deo was focusing on as well.
Director Wi, you really followed us all the way here?
I'm on the side of the winners.
I know Chairman Choi will let me participate...
in a business that's suitable for me.
I'll pay you a visit later, Mayor Do.
We have a long history together, don't we?
We even share weaknesses.
Let's go.
You're here.
Mr. Lee.
You didn't get any sleep again?
It's because I'm stressed lately.
Can you...
help me look like I had a good night's sleep?
What do you want?
You can't just go in there.
We're investigating the use of psychotropic drugs.
Darn it.
Hey, Ju Ho.
What are you doing here?
After losing my mother three years ago,
I had a hard time getting sleep for about a year too.
You're really lucky this place is under my jurisdiction.
(Police Station, Protecting citizens who need help)
(Message from Jenny Jang)
Let me give you an update.
Let's meet right now.
So?
How will you get rid of Mayor Do?
You should hurry since Deo has been eliminated as the preferred bidder.
Have patience, Mr. Lee.
It's not time yet.
Look here.
A case that involves Director Wi of Deo group, Mayor Do,
a missing cop, and her daughter.
I know everything.
If you keep acting like this,
I'll contact the press myself.
Why is it so hard to persuade you with words?
I have a lot of work to do.
I can't go down like this.
Can you please...
let me off just this once?
Finding out your weakness is even easier than breathing.
Anyhow, what will people think of...
a politician that did something illegal?
Further, what if it's a politician who conciliated a detective...
in order to hide and cover his crime?
You shouldn't have let me find out...
that you knew about Deo's weakness.
Lie low until I call for you again.
That means for you to stay put in your position.
Since sticking to your beliefs...
doesn't come from righteousness...
but from that politician badge.
Never forget that.
(Lee Hyun Ji)
When is the cake coming?
He's really not answering?
I take back complimenting him earlier today.
He probably has a good reason.
My mom actually doesn't like cake.
She asked if there's something...
we can use again next year after blowing out candles.
Let's eat.
Wait.
That's the meat your mom promised she'd return with.
I already cooked the bulgogi, so all we need is my mom now.
Let's eat.
Enjoy your meal.
Will you come outside for a second?
I have something to say.
It's Yoon Sun Woo.
You can take her now.
Ms. Lee Hyun Ji?
You've been accused as an industrial spy. Come with us.
- What? - You've been charged...
with giving the bid price information to another company.
- Take her. - Yes, sir.
Wait, hold on.
An industrial spy? That's not me.
I think there's been a mistake.
Mr. Yoon. Mr. Yoon!
Mr. Yoon!
- What are you doing? Take her. - Yes, sir.
Are you okay?
I finally see you here.
I haven't even seen you at home.
I heard it from my mother.
She said the bidding isn't over.
Why are you taking so long?
Are you sure we can beat Jogwang?
What are you doing right now?
What do you think? I'm checking on our marriage terms.
You know I'm in this marriage to get away from my mother...
while taking advantage of you.
Otherwise, you're useless to me.
Since when did Jung Hyuk have a problem with Ms. Jang?
What do you mean?
He must be out of his mind.
He suddenly showed up here and asked for company documents.
I thought he was an investigator from the National Tax Service...
or the police.
He said we can't proceed the project without his consent.
I'll be right there.
Why? Can't I take advantage of you?
When we lost the bidding,
I felt frustrated that everything was over.
You know, I even lost my lover.
I made such a sacrifice and even married to you.
This is too unfair. I'd better have something.
With the thought of Deo Group taken down by Jogwang,
I can't just sit back and watch.
I've been just watching at the back as I trusted you.
But I can't do that anymore.
I think my heart froze cold.
Like mother, like son, right?
What's your problem?
I thought you and Do Young had an agreement.
What can I do?
My heart changed.
I think Jung Hyuk has gone through a mid-life crisis.
He clings to Mom saying that...
he'll do anything to win her approval.
He's even willing to get a divorce.
I guess the rumor is true that he has a mistress.
Maybe this is good.
If they get a divorce,
I can take over their positions.
Do you think you can help me with that beside me?
I can get you a seat right next to me.
Unlike Jenny Jang who draws a line.
Stop and wait for me.
I don't have time right now. I'll see you later.
He's even willing to get a divorce.
I guess the rumor is true that he has a mistress.
(The moment of farewell)
While I packed things up,
I thought I should give this to you.
You can take the call. It's been ringing for a while.
What do you want?
This is for cheating on Do Young.
This is for looking down on Do Young.
It's a relief that your feelings for her are not genuine.
And you're not desperately in love with her.
So is that what you want?
Go ahead and punch me once. And then get a divorce.
She can earn everything she wants without your help.
No, I'm not going to get a divorce.
He's the person that I love.
When I was 20 and Do Young was 18,
Do Young was disappointed after finding out about me.
Because she had a crush on me.
It does no harm for me.
I can keep seeing other guys...
while having her on my side.
That's why I won't get a divorce.
I'll keep her and make her lonely for the rest of her life.
I'll play hard to get with her desire...
watch her suffer, and hang her out to dry.
I'll watch her closely next to her...
while she's getting dried up day by day.
What's got into you?
You'll have to watch her helplessly as you have no power.
Just like you always did.
Treat Do Young well.
You're the one to protect her.
You should be the one!
You know how she feels about you!
Do you know how hard it's been for her?
Out of all people,
you're not supposed to do this to her, you brat!
This is the only way for her to go back to where she belonged!
To get rid of her feelings for me,
I should be the bad guy who means nothing to her!
That way I can make up for my mother's stealing her seat.
Did you know it all along?
I asked if you knew it.
Why is Dad...
You pretended not to know...
and married her?
Did you get into this...
knowing what would happen to Chairwoman Kim and your family?
Did you know...
you'd lose everything and still get into this?
Don't let Do Young know.
Help me to make her hate me.
If I stay with her,
she'll falter and stop.
I must turn away...
if she's to regain what's hers without feeling bad for me.
Also, my mother might already know.
I'll watch her closely,
but you must hurry.
It's been a long time...
since I touched your face when you were young.
What happened? You're just like a child.
I thought that...
you'd leave me forever...
because you don't need a mother anymore.
Just like a prickly hedgehog,
you were always hard to get close to.
You are my son.
Nothing can be done about that.
Like how you came back to me,
all the children in the world,
when they're wounded and feel hurt,
they look for their mothers.
You slept here?
What happened to your face?
(Secret Boutique)
I must find a way...
to get Chairwoman Kim to put all her money into the project.
I'll pay the price for keeping silent in the past.
Both Mayor Do and Jenny Jang are ignoring my calls?
Give up before things get worse for everyone.
I only lost what I had.
So I'll act even crazier.
Mom found it!
Until things are done,
that girl's mother must never appear,
dead or alive.
