I guess Mother still hasn't fixed her bad habits.
Did she open the lock with this or something?
(Episode 53)
What's up?
Let's have a talk in the kitchen.
What's going on?
What do you want to snack on? Dried squid?
Sure.
Go ahead and drink first.
My goodness.
Ma Eum left this behind.
I thought she might forget to take this tomorrow morning.
You should put it in her bag.
She's very clumsy.
It's good that I found it. I'll be off, then.
Song Ah.
Yes?
The night breeze is nice and cool. Would you like to go for a walk?
A walk?
It's quite late.
Just for 30 minutes. Let's take a short walk around the neighborhood.
Did you see earlier...
how everyone in the family tried to stop me...
from liking Mr. Lee?
And?
I'm dealing with such a bad hand.
You of all people...
should be on my side.
I told you I can't do that.
I learned that you shouldn't...
push ahead with a marriage that your family doesn't approve of.
I'm confident.
I'm confident that I'll be able to overcome all their disapprovals.
How do you want me to help you?
Tell Song Ah to stop coming to the office.
Eun Ji, you're wasting your energy on this.
They see each other every day at home.
You won't gain anything by merely stopping them from meeting at work.
Gosh, come on.
Once you do that for me, I'll make sure Mr. Lee moves.
I'll gather every single penny and buy my own house...
even if it might be small.
Then I'll bring Mr. Lee to my house and just...
What?
Anyway, you should help me out...
so that I can get closer to Mr. Lee.
Stop taking Song Ah's side.
What are you guys talking about?
Young Man, why aren't you sleeping yet?
You should sleep.
He must think I'm joking around.
But I'll show him that this is not a joke.
I haven't taken a walk...
in such a long time after my wife died.
I also feel like it's been ages since I took a walk at night.
What is his problem?
Are you okay?
- Let's go. - Okay.
What was that about? You guys were talking about Mr. Lee.
Does she really like Mr. Lee?
Don't worry.
Eun Ji likes him, but he's not interested in her.
He isn't even interested in her, but he still made her fall for him?
Gosh, he's a real player.
What?
I'm a professional when it comes to seduction.
He must've done something to get Eun Ji to like him.
There's no way he did absolutely nothing.
He may not make it obvious,
but he's subtly seducing her...
and playing around with her heart.
It's nice...
- to be on a date with you. - A date?
I thought that kind of stuff would no longer exist in my life.
I know we both are quite unfamiliar with this.
But how about we start looking for something special together?
You see,
I used up all my energy on my divorce.
I don't expect much from anyone,
and I'm not curious about them either.
Losing my daughter was even worse than getting a divorce.
But that wasn't your fault.
That's not true. It'd be funny for someone like me...
to go on dates just so I can find something special.
I told you that I don't deserve that.
And I don't even have time for that either.
I thought that way as well.
The only thing that motivated me to keep living was Ma Eum.
After we became neighbors,
my life suddenly got filled with happiness.
And that wasn't the same happiness I get from my kid.
It's nice to see you like this.
And when I think of you, I forget about the heat.
Life becomes a lot less weary.
I'm no longer going to hide my feelings, delay my confession,
or walk on eggshells around you.
Let's start by taking walks together like this.
Let's check if I'm the only one who feels this way...
or if you feel the same way as well.
What's going to happen if I agree to do that?
Then...
today will be our first day.
Today will be our first day?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I'm quite there yet.
You don't need to answer me right now.
You can tell me after you think about it a bit more.
Every love song I listen to seems to be talking about me.
My gosh, you startled me.
Mom, what are you doing in my room?
Where were you? You didn't even take your phone.
What?
I couldn't fall asleep, so I went for a walk.
But the alleys are so dark. Did you walk by yourself?
Of course. It was fine.
You should go with me next time.
Who would try to kidnap someone like me?
What are you talking about? You have no idea how pretty you are.
You're prettier than most actresses.
Mom, I know I'm your daughter, but that's a bit too much.
My gosh, I'm serious.
If you need to go outside at night,
you should ask Dong Joo to go with you.
Why... Why would I go with him?
He's the only guy in the house.
You can ask him for help.
He's already a very busy man.
You should go to sleep.
Then you can go with me instead.
Okay. Go to bed.
Okay, you too.
My goodness.
My gosh.
My mom's a psychic.
Jenny, what are you doing today?
We're going to go to the department store...
to buy a gift for my grandfather.
You're like Jenny's spokesperson these days.
Isn't that what you always wanted?
Man Su knows everything about me,
so you can ask him if you have any questions.
Really?
You seem to know Jenny a lot more than I do these days.
Yes, Mother.
If you want to know anything, you can call me and ask.
Okay. Is it okay for you guys to go to the department store on your own?
Is there anything I can do to help?
No, we'll take care of it on our own.
I also wanted to get a gift for your grandfather.
I guess I'll just have to go by myself.
Okay.
- Let's go, Jenny. - Okay.
- We'll be off now. - Okay.
Bye.
They're always hanging around together.
They scheme things behind my back and make me seem like a fool.
What if I become an outcast?
I told him to get rid of all the statements.
Why does he still have them?
This is not right.
He got rid of the bag.
I wonder if he noticed that I looked through the bag.
Mother, what are you doing?
Man... Man Su.
I forgot to take the car key.
Oh, really?
Yes. But what are you doing here?
I think I accidentally left Jenny's clothes in your room last night.
I see.
You should get going. I'm going to clean your room.
Okay, Mother. I'll see you.
He got rid of the bag overnight.
Hey, I told you not to come here.
- I want compensation. - Compensation for what?
My honor, my future, and my source of income.
I lost everything because of you. I want you to compensate for that.
Why would I do that?
I got fired the day I made my debut.
And it was all because of you.
What did I do?
It was your ex-wife, Choi Song Ah!
What did she do?
Her mom came to the waiting room.
And in front of everyone there,
she slapped me, screamed at me,
and told everyone that I'm an adulteress.
I felt so humiliated!
Hey, that's a good thing.
You think you can just cover up your past, don't you?
But you're wrong. It always comes back and hits you with karma.
We both did it together.
So why do I need to be the only one that has to pay?
You think you're the only one?
Hey! My family broke apart because of you!
My grandpa hates me!
I'm so lonely these days.
But every time I look at women, I get scared...
thinking that they might all be like you.
I don't think I'll ever be able to date anyone at this rate.
That is so tragic.
That's good news.
You used to be mine, so I'll return and claim what's mine.
What did you just say?
Then we can call it even.
No, that will never happen.
Get out. Get out of here!
Hey, get out!
- Don't come near me. - My gosh.
My gosh, seriously.
Get out of here.
Okay, wait.
Get out.
- Stop! Scratch the left side. - What the...
Get out!
Then can you please... Please...
Please what? You're being so annoying.
Then can you...
order a bowl of black bean noodles for me?
I'll leave after I eat that. I'm really starving.
What? Gosh, get out of here!
Black bean noodles don't even cost that much.
Make sure you put the empty bowl in front of the door.
Don't touch anything in the office.
And don't pick up any of the phone calls.
All you need to do is lock the place before you leave.
Okay, I'll take care of it. You should go now, honey.
"Honey"?
My gosh!
He's acting like he's not interested.
I'll soon have you begging me to call you "honey".
Hey.
I worked all day at the store, and now I'm so exhausted.
Take it easy. You should hire someone.
I guess so.
By the way, did you hear?
What?
Ae Young's family went bankrupt.
Really?
Yes. Apparently, they're all living separately,
and they're going around begging for money.
What a surprise.
Don't ever meet Ae Young even if she calls you.
Why would I meet her? My gosh, Mom.
When people lose everything,
they do everything they can to hold onto something.
She might come see you...
thinking that you'd be foolish enough to fall for her.
I'm not a fool, Mom.
That's good. You'd better keep it that way.
When exactly are we planning to leave the country?
It's in two weeks. We're leaving Saturday morning.
- Two weeks? - Yes.
This is the list of stuff we need to buy at the department store.
You should check if I left anything out.
Okay.
Two weeks?
I have to get married in two weeks?
How did I end up coming here?
It's Eun Seok.
Wait here. Jenny!
Jenny.
What brings you here?
There's no particular reason. I was just passing by.
I know that's not true.
Don't get mistaken. Am I not allowed to pass by your company building?
You can go your way. I need to go now.
Jenny.
Let's go get some tea.
"Tea"?
Why would we do that?
We already said goodbye to each other,
and you even went on a date with a pretty lady.
So why are you doing this?
I ended it with her after a day.
Why?
I'm sure her mother wouldn't have been as monstrous as my mom.
Why did you end it with her?
I told you to meet someone nice.
I'll...
deal with that myself.
I'll be...
leaving for Switzerland in two weeks.
I won't be coming back.
- Hello. - Hello.
I heard you're President Ahn's mother-in-law.
Yes, my daughter came here yesterday,
and she told me that it was really nice.
She didn't come to our spa yesterday.
What? That can't be.
Maybe she went somewhere else.
That's weird.
Does the hotel run another spa other than here?
No, we're the only one.
I'll come back next time. Something urgent just came up.
They're lying to me all the time.
(President, Ahn Man Su)
Jenny, I told your mother that you went to a spa.
I'll go to Ms. Ji's place by 9pm to pick you up.
What?
Lucky, make sure you get rid of all the evidence.
And make sure no one can trace the IP address.
You won't have to send any text messages anymore.
- Hello, Mother. - Hey.
"Make sure no one can trace the IP address"?
"You won't have to send any text messages anymore"?
What's all this about?
What's wrong?
I just heard some bad news.
What is it about?
No, it's not a big deal.
I'll soon be heading to the department store with Jenny.
You should come with us.
No, it's okay.
I have a lunch appointment with Ms. Oh. I should get going.
Okay, then.
Okay, I'll be off now.
Bye.
He won't have to send any text messages anymore?
Get rid of all the evidence?
What does that all mean?
Who are you?
Soo Jin, have you been well?
"Soo Jin"?
Our boss is very worried about you.
"Boss"?
Your older brother.
What was that?
I don't need to talk to his underlings.
Tell him to come talk to me himself.
Do you even know what kind of situation your brother is in?
What... What do you mean?
He went through so much to save you.
You used him to your advantage,
and now that you don't need him, you decided to pull a trick?
I never did such a thing. Why would I do that to him?
If it turns out that you did this,
I'll slice off your fingers starting from your pinky.
All 10 of them.
Then you know what will happen next, right?
It wasn't me. This is a misunderstanding.
Two days ago, we caught the guy...
that works for your son-in-law.
What?
We investigated him,
and it turns out that your son-in-law is no joke.
Man Su?
Weren't you the one...
who made him do everything?
I never did such a thing.
And my son-in-law would never do anything like that either.
Then are you trying to say your son-in-law did everything...
behind your back?
That's unbelievable.
Why would Man Su do something like that?
Hello, sir.
- I want all of you to leave. - Yes, sir.
Have you been well?
- Brother. - Yes.
Those darn little punks.
I can't believe they brought you to such a hostile place.
(35 years ago)
Let me go!
Salute.
I'll cover this place. You should go to the other area.
Okay, sir.
Salute.
You're pretty. I might let you go...
if you do as I say.
Those who are nothing but strong have their limits.
These hands once used to be million dollar hands.
Did my son-in-law really have someone tail you?
Did you really not know anything?
I wouldn't have stood still if I knew about it.
I trusted him like no other.
He did start to seem a little weird these days,
but I didn't know he'd do something like that.
- You might be wrong. - Starting from last year,
the cops began getting more and more information about us.
What kind of information?
He could've given the bank statement...
that shows all the money you sent me to the cops.
And people started getting curious about your case...
when I already made sure it became a closed case a long time ago.
Are you saying someone did all that on purpose?
There was someone who was controlling everything from behind.
He wasn't just looking for the Black Rose.
He was aiming for me.
He was desperate to find out about me.
And he turned out to be my son-in-law?
In the process of investigating him, we caught a guy named Lucky.
"Lucky"?
Your son-in-law's righthand man.
Yes, he's my son-in-law's righthand man.
This is the cell phone we took from Lucky.
Take a look.
(Did you arrive in Seoul? Don't look too far away.)
(Do you want to know who she is? I'm sure you're dying to know.)
Are you serious? This was Lucky's cell phone?
I'm sure you're mistaken.
This can't be right.
I thought you were doing well.
But your son-in-law really made a fool out of you.
That's can't be true. My son-in-law cares about me so much.
He's been a little odd lately,
- but he'd never do something... - Hey! Get to your senses.
Aren't these text messages enough?
I've been investigating this for six months.
Starting from a year and a half ago,
I started asking him to wire you money.
He's definitely the guy that gave the statement to the cops.
Lucky had all the bank statements.
If what you're saying is true,
you should destroy that son of a gun.
End the trouble here and now.
Make sure he won't ever act up again.
I think that's my only choice.
(We'd like to thank Choi Gwang Jae for making a special appearance.)
(Shady Mom-in-law)
The passionate one always wins the love of war.
Eun Ji's determined to be more straightforward to Mr. Lee.
You should also make up your mind.
Either become more passionate than Eun Ji,
or just don't show him the slightest bit of interest.
Dong Joo, can we talk for a moment?
I found myself standing in front of Eun Seok's workplace.
I wanted to run away, but I barely managed to stop myself.
Can we reconsider our marriage?
