(Ilcha General Hospital)
We almost got busted.
Let's go.
Mommy?
I remember Mommy's face now.
It was Mommy just now. It was her.
Mommy?
Mommy!
Soo A?
Soo A!
Have you seen my Soo A?
Soo A.
Soo A!
(Ilcha General Hospital)
Where do you live, mister?
Tell me your address. I'll go over to play later.
It's 1734-888, Sungmoon-dong, Sungjin-gu.
"So it's 1734-888, Sungmoon-dong, Sungjin-gu."
The address is easy. I memorized it.
It was 1734-888, Sungmoon-dong, Sungjin-gu.
I'll get to meet Mommy if I go to his house.
I will meet Mommy no matter what.
Not being able to see Soo A is hard, right?
At least I got to see her for a short while today.
Though it would've been better if Soo A had been well.
We're not expecting any guests at this hour.
Soo A?
- Mister. - Yes?
I can remember Mommy's face now.
Take me to her, please.
- Soo A! - Mommy!
How did you get here?
- Mommy! - Soo A.
I missed you, Mommy.
- Mommy. - Soo A.
Mommy.
- Soo A. - Mommy.
Mommy.
Soo A.
Can you remember my face now?
Yes, Mommy.
Soo A.
She didn't get kidnapped, did she?
No, she didn't.
We're not getting threatening calls for money.
Let's report this to the police and ask them to find Soo A.
We can't.
The fact Gi Yun and I dropped to our knees to Shin Ju Kyung...
and my power trip controversy has finally died down.
If people find out even the child has gone missing,
they'll think our family is broken.
I'll look over...
the CCTV footage at the hospital when the day breaks.
Gosh, but she's such a young girl.
She must have missed her mom so much...
if she walked all the way here from the hospital.
Ju Kyung's wish will come true.
She gets to sleep with Soo A.
Soo A. Is there anything you want to do with me?
I want to go to the amusement park.
"The amusement park?" Okay. Let's go to one.
Yes, I'm excited!
Mommy. I can live with you from now on, right?
Do I have to keep living with Daddy?
I'll talk about it with Dad.
This is bad. The world is a dangerous place.
I hope Soo A is fine.
We must find Soo A before the school for the gifted exam.
If she misses this one, the next one is six months later.
The kid's missing, but what? The school for the gifted exam?
That's easy to say because she didn't give birth to the kid.
Old lady.
Go home if you're going to nag and irritate me.
What?
Good grief.
Hey. Should I teach you a good lesson today?
- Seriously. Hey! - Gosh.
- Ms. Woo. - You little...
- Young Ran. - Please.
- Jaclyn. - I'm sick and tired of this.
I really am!
- Ms. Woo! - Your ring, Jaclyn!
I told you to go home, didn't I?
You little...
Assemblyman Yang.
Jaclyn. I better change my tonic.
The tonic from you is distasteful.
Honey. Let's go.
Wait. Assemblyman Yang.
I bear no grudge against you.
But you two are a married couple. So it's goodbye to you, too.
Assemblyman Yang.
Assemblyman Yang!
Not a day has been peaceful ever since you came into this house.
Even if Ju Kyung was a lowlife, she wasn't as arrogant as you.
Did you just compare me to Shin Ju Kyung?
Then why don't you make her your daughter-in-law again?
- There's no reason I shouldn't. - What was that?
Babe. Why aren't you saying anything?
Mother is insulting me. Talk back at her.
Enough!
You cause trouble every single day.
Just as you said, this troublemaker should leave this house.
I will take this chance to think about our relationship,
business, and future again.
Let her leave.
That's no threat to us. Gosh.
I'm warning you, Jaclyn.
If you leave right now, it's the end for us.
Like I wouldn't know that.
Mother. Everything until now was painful.
Goodbye.
Look how arrogant she is until the very end.
How absurd.
Gi Yun, you wouldn't hold me back even though I just left?
Eat up.
She eats so well.
Soo A, you're eating a lot.
I'm glad I don't have to talk in English when we eat.
Soo A, Auntie is here.
Auntie! I missed you.
I missed you too.
That's it. Keep it going!
Great job!
- Hold her. - One more time!
- Great job. - Let's go.
Be careful. One more time.
Keep it up.
Soo A!
Soo A, come here!
You're looking so cute.
Soo A seems to adore Woo Hyuk. She's showing such a bright smile.
I guess this is why we live.
Life may be tough for 999 days, but we get at least one day...
to smile happily like this.
I'll babysit Soo A.
You should take Woo Hyuk to the audition.
We'll be quick.
Are you having fun, Soo A?
Play with this one too.
Who could that be?
Who is it?
Jaclyn.
I left home.
Then why are you here?
I thought of going to a hotel,
but this seemed like a better place to provoke Jang Gi Yun.
He'll go crazy if he sees me staying with you.
Why are you dragging me into your fight with him? Go home.
People I live with all hate you.
So go.
Mr. Na, why aren't you coming back?
Soo A.
Things are becoming quite interesting.
Let's look forward to hearing from them since you did well on the audition.
What will you make for Soo A today?
I'll make japchae,
braised short ribs,
and seasoned greens.
I'll make everything for her.
I'm in for a treat, thanks to Soo A.
Hello?
What's wrong?
Jaclyn came.
Soo A wants to go to an amusement park with me,
so we're going there tomorrow.
I'll send her back home after spending time with her.
So please don't tell Jang Gi Yun until then.
Ju Kyung, I left home after I fought with him.
You can keep Soo A until I work things out with him.
Can I really believe you?
That's your choice.
I just told you what I'd do.
Seung Pil, I can use that room, right?
She's so brazen.
How could she barge in here after she fought with Gi Yun?
Not only is Ju Kyung here, but all of us hate her too.
I'll go to the amusement park with Soo A,
and I won't send her back to Gi Yun.
Since Jaclyn is here,
it'll only be a matter of time until he finds out Soo A is here.
Once everyone falls asleep, I'll take Soo A and leave.
Tomorrow, I'll go to the amusement park with her,
and I want to go somewhere far where he can't find us.
You're going to leave?
I'll leave with Soo A and hide somewhere away from Jang Gi Yun.
Gi Yun, why won't you report Soo A as missing to the police?
It's been two days.
You don't have to worry about her. She's well.
Do you know where she is?
Where is she?
Don't worry about her and go to sleep.
Hey, Jaclyn.
Honey, do you want to know where I am?
Not really.
I'm at Na Seung Pil's place.
Oh, and Shin Ju Kyung is here too.
So what?
You can see something interesting here.
You'll regret it if you don't come.
I'm busy. Have fun with Seung Pil.
He doesn't care that I'm with Na Seung Pil?
Jang Gi Yun, this is why I like you.
You're always unpredictable.
Jaclyn.
I won't condone your reckless behavior anymore.
First, I need to find Soo A.
I'll teach you a lesson after that.
Mommy, where are we going?
Quiet.
This isn't much, but you can buy Soo A a snack.
Thank you.
Have fun with Soo A tomorrow,
and call me when you find a place to stay.
We have to say goodbye as soon as we're reunited?
You have to stay in touch.
Okay, Mi Rye.
Ju Kyung, I'll go to where you are once you settle.
Let's go, Ju Kyung.
(Motel)
It's her first time going to an amusement park.
Jang Gi Yun didn't let her go because that was a place...
for ordinary kids.
Goodness.
She must've wanted to go there very much, just like other kids.
I got the tickets to the park,
and I made a reservation at a restaurant for a surprise party.
Thank you, Woo Hyuk.
Once you leave with Soo A for a place away from Jang Gi Yun,
I don't know where it may be,
but we'll never see each other again.
We used to hang out together every single day.
That's true.
I'll be a little bored.
No matter where you go,
I'll find you.
I promise.
(Soo A)
(Love Soo A)
- Hello? - Are you on your way?
We're about to leave.
It's raining,
but the amusement park is indoors, so it should be fine.
See you later.
Let's go, Soo A.
Didn't I tell you not to take Soo A to amusement parks?
You always try to break my rules.
And that makes me flip out, you know?
No. Don't!
No! Stop!
- No! - Soo A!
- No! Mommy! - Soo A!
Mommy!
I saw on the CCTV footage that you had snuck into the hospital.
I will sue you, an unqualified dad, and take Soo A back.
I'm not qualified as a dad?
Daddy said he would send me to the mental hospital if I met Mommy.
Since then, my head started to hurt.
And I couldn't recall Mommy's face.
When I couldn't answer in English during our meals,
he had me write ten pages of apology in English. It was hard.
"No. I don't want to. I can't do it."
Getting scolded by Daddy when I said those phrases was scary.
Studying up all night for the school for the gifted exam was tiring, too.
But you're only seven years old.
It must've been tough.
When Daddy and Jaclyn raised their voices and lost their temper at me,
it was really scary.
I recorded everything you just said.
If I play this to the judge,
they will let you live with me.
Really?
Jang Gi Yun. What you did to Soo A was abuse.
I can't let a child abuser raise Soo A.
Don't think that your standards are all correct.
People have their own way of loving others.
So you're going to accuse me as a child abuser with that recording,
take Soo A, and ostracize me from society?
- Give me that phone. - No.
- Give it to me! Do it now! - No!
Stop!
Too bad.
Your evidence is gone.
No, you can't! Jang Gi Yun!
Mommy!
Mommy.
Mommy!
Soo A.
I love you dearly, my sweetie.
What is it?
Send me to Mommy, Daddy.
No. I won't do it. You must live with me.
Soo A!
- Soo A! - Mommy!
- Let's go. - Mommy!
- Soo A! - Mommy!
- Soo A!
Soo A!
Soo A! No!
No! Soo A!
No!
Mommy!
Mommy.
Get rid of this.
Soo A!
Soo A.
Darn it.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
How did you know Soo A was with Ju Kyung and get her?
The hospital CCTV had caught Shin Ju Kyung visiting Soo A.
So I guessed Soo A would be with her.
We're in trouble now that Soo A remembers her mom's face.
She'll miss her mom more now.
I will stop Soo A from missing her.
Even if her memory is her back,
I won't let her miss her mom.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm afraid your reservation hours have ended.
I see.
What happened to you, Ju Kyung?
What about Soo A and Woo Hyuk?
Jang Gi Yun took Soo A.
And Woo Hyuk...
Oh, right. Woo Hyuk.
Woo Hyuk!
She's here.
I think...
I love her.
Woo Hyuk.
Why were you standing outside without an umbrella?
You didn't pick up your phone.
I was worried sick.
I thought something had happened.
"I, Jang Soo A,"
"reflect on meeting Mommy without telling Daddy."
"No matter how much I miss Mommy,"
"I will not meet her."
What will happen if you do meet her again?
Mommy will go to jail.
That's right.
Mom shouldn't go to jail...
because of you, right?
That woman...
is no longer your mom or a part of our family.
Keep that in mind.
Jang Gi Yun is such a scumbag.
He could've let you and Soo A go to the amusement park.
Soo A will get scolded by him.
I feel bad for her.
I feel terribly bad for her.
I wonder when I'll get to meet her again.
Stop crying.
Crying will only make you cry more.
You should grow stronger at a time like this.
Let's cheer up together.
Together...
sounds nice.
That alone gives me strength.
Jang Gi Yun hasn't come to pick you up yet,
which means your plan of using me to provoke him has failed.
Now move out of my place.
Give me a bit more time.
I demanded a divorce and declared to withdraw my investment.
Jang Gi Yun will soon come...
and beg for my forgiveness to take me back.
Why are you going this far?
You love Jang Gi Yun, don't you?
I want him.
I want him now, so I'll have him.
My first husband,
child, and family.
I don't want to lose them.
I thought having a family and a husband wasn't a big deal.
But now, I want to keep them.
(The Elegant Empire)
Divorce papers?
You'll really divorce me?
I'm getting back with Ju Kyung.
No one can hide love.
What would you do if you were that friend?
I'd tell him to show his feelings until she accepted him.
I'm in love with Ju Kyung.
So don't be disrespectful to someone I love.
Love is staying by someone until the end.
I'm going to do that.
I'll protect her to the end.
