(Meeting Room)
You're...
Hee Jae's father.
Take a seat, Mr. Suzuki.
I'm sure you have a lot to say.
Jaclyn.
Why did you have Hee Jae's father come here?
Did you call him to expose my strange relationship with Hee Jae...
and humiliate her?
Have Mr. Suzuki explain the details.
Mr. Suzuki.
I mean Mr. Ito Yoshihiro.
Tell us who you truly are, please.
Okay. I will.
Hee Jae.
This woman here sent a man over...
and asked me to tell others you were not my daughter.
Miharu, my daughter.
I am very worried.
Are you all right?
Are you Chairman Jang Gi Yun of WJ?
That's right.
Your wife said you and my daughter...
were in an inappropriate relationship.
And if I wanted to take her to Japan,
she told me to tell others she wasn't my daughter.
Are you really in a weird relationship with my daughter?
No. My wife misunderstood us.
What's with you, Suzuki?
Why are you lying?
What has gotten into you?
I should ask you why you are doing this to my daughter!
You... Didn't you receive money from me?
You promised to tell the truth with that money.
But what's this? Why are you doing this?
"Money?" I have more than enough money!
Why must I receive money from you?
Tell us the truth!
Enough, Jaclyn!
Chairman Suzuki.
Why don't we go to our agency?
- Let's go, Dad. - Okay.
Are you okay?
What's going on?
You should ask Woo Hyuk.
Let's talk in my office.
Jaclyn.
I understand that you hate Seo Hee Jae,
but how could you frame her like this?
Honey, that's not it.
Suzuki is Seo Hee Jae's fake father.
Seo Hee Jae isn't an heiress.
I just wanted to reveal the truth about her.
Are you still trying to deny that you did such a shameful thing,
even when the truth has come out?
No. Something is wrong.
Gi Yun. Seo Hee Jae is a fraud.
You can't keep falling for her lies!
Jaclyn, I'm disappointed in you.
Can you tell me what happened?
I found out that Suzuki came to Korea...
and that he was bribed by Jaclyn.
That's why...
Detective Jung, I brought Mr. Ito Yoshihiro here.
Did you make sure that Jaclyn didn't catch on?
Yes, sir.
Please have a seat.
(Jung Capital)
Mr. Ito.
Jaclyn brought you to Korea to claim...
that you were Seo Hee Jae's fake father. Right?
Yes. It is true that I'm her fake father.
I need you to continue acting like Seo Hee Jae's father.
I already received money so that won't be possible.
If you say what I tell you to say,
I will give you double the amount of money Jaclyn gave you.
Then you get to keep the money Jaclyn gave you...
and the money I give you.
Wouldn't that be better?
What do you want me to say?
That's why Suzuki acted...
as Hee Jae's dad just now.
Thank you.
I managed to overcome that crisis, thanks to you.
You didn't just overcome it.
You even used Suzuki to corner Jaclyn.
Jung Woo Hyuk, you're something else.
Now Jang Gi Yun will have a harder time trusting Jaclyn,
and he'll start hating her.
Their trust has been completely broken.
A relationship based on desire can be easily broken.
What about the money?
Where did you get the money you agreed to give Suzuki?
I had some money saved up.
(WJ Entertainment)
This is a ticket to Europe and the money we promised you.
Get on a plane right now and lay low for about a year...
so that Jaclyn doesn't find you again.
Okay, I'll do that.
And you. Shut down your agency,
stop gambling, and don't answer Jaclyn's calls.
Yes, sir.
Hey. You went to prison for gambling when I was a cop.
How are you still living like this?
I'm sorry.
- Take him to the airport. - Yes, sir.
Oh, my gosh. Bit Na.
Bit Na. Wake up!
My gosh.
Hey, Mom.
How long are you going to upset me?
What did I do?
We get that you don't want to study.
But what are you going to do for a living?
You might not be able to get a great job,
but you have to do something.
You make a lot of money, so why do I need to work?
If there's someone making money,
there has to be someone to spend it. That's economics.
Dad, if you don't want to be called a boomer, stop nagging me.
The youths won't vote for you.
"Boomer?" I'm a boomer?
Of course.
If you want to be a good politician,
you have to be open-minded and understand my generation.
My gosh. I'm going crazy.
Hey, Bit Na.
There must be at least one thing you like and are good at.
If there is, tell me.
I'll support you wholeheartedly.
Everyone needs to make a living.
Something I'm good at...
Oh, I know!
What is it?
Drinking, dancing, and hanging out with my friends!
Is that what you're good at?
Someone once said,
I love playing all day
Mom, my stomach hurts.
I think I drank too much last night.
Can you make me some hangover soup?
Goodness. What am I going to do with her?
She drives me crazy.
If I knew the answer, do you think I'd be here like this?
Hee Jae.
This woman here sent a man over...
and asked me to tell others you were not my daughter.
Miharu, my daughter.
I am very worried.
Are you all right?
How did Suzuki transform into Seo Hee Jae's dad again?
Director, the shoes you sent out to get fixed are back.
Hey. I told you to get them fixed because they got wider.
Do they not fit?
Look. They're falling off.
Go get them fixed again.
Yes, ma'am.
When is the art dealer who is selling...
Monet's work coming to Seoul?
Next week.
- Speed things up with that. - Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am?
You didn't forget your promise...
to put my name up in the next exhibit. Right?
You removed my name from the curator list...
of the last exhibit I planned.
I decided to work here because you promised...
I'd debut as a curator here.
Hey.
You, who haven't even studied abroad,
got hired as a curator because of the person that I am.
I hired you because...
you were kind and diligent despite graduating from a bad school.
So just do what I tell you to do properly.
You can't even get my shoes fixed properly.
She's so clueless. Why would she annoy me now?
Seo Hee Jae is a fraud.
You can't keep falling for her lies!
Jaclyn,
I'm disappointed in you.
How can I get Jang Gi Yun to believe in me?
(Jang Gi Yun)
Hello?
I'm sorry.
Jaclyn was incredibly rude to you.
Jaclyn was the one who was in the wrong,
so why are you apologizing?
Oh, is it because a couple is one in body and soul?
Jaclyn isn't the type to apologize for her wrongdoings,
so I thought that I should apologize on her behalf.
I saw that Jaclyn was wearing the necklace.
- That's... - You said you were sincere.
I guess your sincerity goes back and forth.
I won't make excuses.
I already upset you.
But I'm sure you already know...
where my feelings lie.
I don't want to know anymore.
How are you going to pay back the money you gave Suzuki?
You said it was urgent,
so I got the money ready without your mom knowing,
but it's only a matter of time.
Your mom goes through the loan ledger herself.
She'll figure out there's money missing.
(Jung Capital)
I'll tell Mom myself.
Woo Hyuk,
Seo Hee Jae created a fake dad and lied to people.
Why are you helping her?
She has her reasons.
I don't know what her reasons are,
but I want you to stay away from her.
If she has to fool others, her life must be complicated.
If you keep her close, your life will become complicated too.
Once your mom realizes who you like, she'll disapprove of her as well.
How do you know I like her?
The money you gave Suzuki.
You spent that large sum of money on that woman,
so I would obviously know.
I helped out because it was an urgent situation.
But I didn't do it willingly.
Thanks for the incident with Suzuki.
Did you call me here to say that?
I want to ask you a favor.
No matter what happens to me,
don't do anything.
Don't meddle in like this time.
How can I not when it has to do with you?
I have the confidence not to make you suffer...
like Ye Kyung did by passing away.
Jaclyn won't sit still when she figures out...
you helped me.
Please.
Doing nothing is helping me out.
Here's what my mom told me.
Even if a man can't protect anything,
he must protect his wife, children, and family.
A man who can't protect those is considered an incompetent man.
Do you want me to live like an incompetent man?
Rather than you getting hurt,
I prefer you to be an incompetent man.
Why are you ignoring my calls, Seung Pil?
What is it?
Did something frustrating happen again?
Am I the only friend you have at a time like that?
Is that why you called a dozen times?
You have a friend in Japan, right?
Call that friend and have them find Suzuki...
through a private detective.
I can't trust the private detectives in Korea.
Call them at once.
Jaclyn. You should stop here and return to America.
I can no longer bear to see you get ruined.
I will give money to Jang Gi Yun.
I'll give Gi Yun what he wants...
and make him unable to leave me.
Do you have the money?
I heard you suffered a massive loss from investing in cryptocurrency.
I can make up for that loss.
I'm Jaclyn. I won't let such a thing bring me down.
Seo Hee Jae. Keep going, and you'll get busted one day.
You might've overcome this matter somehow.
But it won't happen again.
Jaclyn.
Accuse others carelessly, and you'll be the one to get hurt.
Keep that in mind.
Are you sleeping in your study again?
Will you not even talk to me now?
Jaclyn.
I'm barely suppressing the disappointment I have in you.
So just leave me alone.
I'll send the money I have...
to WJ's account very soon.
Like this, I will regain...
the trust you have lost in me.
You understand what I mean, right?
Tell me what you mean.
It means I will bet everything I have on you.
So you shouldn't...
disappoint me, either.
I won't.
(Jung Capital)
Oh, my. Soo Ho. We have some missing funds.
Even the borrower's name is missing.
Oh, that?
I needed money, so I borrowed some.
Why would you need such a large amount of money?
I'm not a kid anymore. I'm an adult, okay?
There are times when I need big bucks.
I know. That's why I'm asking what you used that money on.
This is embezzlement of public money, you know?
- Whatever. - Wait.
What has gotten into him all of a sudden?
Chairman Jang, Ms. Jaclyn is heading home.
Got it.
Mom! Jaclyn's coming home!
What?
But it's not time for her to come home yet.
All right.
Jaclyn, what brings you home at this hour?
I'm here to get a document I left behind.
Oh, I see.
- Is someone here? - What?
"Someone?"
No one came by. Why do you ask?
I saw a few pairs of strange shoes.
You see, I went through our shoes.
Those are to be thrown away.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Good gracious.
Something is going on.
Ms. Jaclyn has left.
All right.
It seems you can leave now, Dr. Oh.
- Then I'll take my leave. - Take care.
Goodness.
Gi Yun.
I almost had a heart attack earlier because of Jaclyn.
Should we move them to someplace else?
That's not an option. Our house is the safest place.
They must be dead to the world.
Nobody must know they are alive.
That's true, but I'm just super anxious.
Mom. I'm sorry...
for giving you a hard time.
Don't say that. You're the one suffering the most.
What's wrong?
Something is weird.
This part.
All right.
It seems you can leave now, Dr. Oh.
Why did Dr. Oh go to his house?
Who is Dr. Oh?
Jang Gi Yun's family doctor.
And this part, too.
That's not an option. Our house is the safest place.
They must be dead to the world.
Nobody must know they are alive.
What could be...
Jang Gi Yun and Mother's secret that even Jaclyn must not know about?
I heard that this place...
prepped their meat themselves.
Surely enough, the meat is super juicy.
I like their lunch menu. It's good.
Here, honey.
As the party leader, you'll be swamped with work now.
And with that bomb in our house,
you should eat all you can right now.
You should dig in, too, honey.
- "Bomb?" - You see...
Bit Na quit studying abroad and came home.
Right, Bit Na.
Despite meeting her countless times,
I didn't recognize her.
Kids change as they get older, so it makes sense.
Bit Na is something else.
She was in the same building as her mom and totally fooled her.
She changed her name to something weird...
like Hyunta or Malta.
Kids these days say that as slang.
That must be where she got it from.
They say that of all the things you can raise,
raising kids is the hardest.
They say having no kids is the best life,
but I don't want that.
As I get older,
I'm envious of people who have kids.
Living in this world without kids...
is so sad.
I think Bit Na is adorable.
My gosh. That's unexpected.
There's someone who finds Bit Na adorable.
The meat here is really good.
I've never seen that before.
Oh, this? Hee Jae gave it to me as a gift.
Hey. Did you accept a gift from that woman?
I said no, but she kept insisting.
The more you get to know her, the more you come to like her.
She's kind and polite.
More than anything, Soo A likes her.
How nice would it have been if Gi Yun met Hee Jae...
before he had met Jaclyn?
Hey.
Then the house would be peaceful,
and Soo A wouldn't have mutism.
- Mother. - Oh, my.
Hey. When did you come home?
You should've said something.
Do you like Seo Hee Jae that much?
Do you want her as your daughter-in-law?
Gosh. I didn't mean anything by it, so don't worry about it.
What are you doing home at this hour?
Today's my day to pick Soo A up.
I was going to get some rest before I went.
Did I forget to tell you?
Hee Jae is going to pick up Soo A from now on.
Seo Hee Jae is going to pick up Soo A?
Says who?
You should let me pick her up on the days I'm supposed to.
You said you were busy.
Mother!
I'm Soo A's mom.
I consider her as my biological daughter,
and I did my best for her.
I might not be sufficient in your eyes,
but I did everything I could to be a good mom...
to Soo A.
I got mad at times because Soo A didn't seem to understand me,
but I did my best to raise her...
so that people would think...
she's incredible.
I won't let Seo Hee Jae replace me as her mom.
I'm going to pick up Soo A.
My gosh.
I mean... Soo A likes Hee Jae.
What can I do about that?
Hey. Do you think Jaclyn...
will get into a fight with Hee Jae in front of Soo A?
She left in such anger.
What will happen if she sees Hee Jae in front of Soo A?
Do you think that woman would do nothing with her temper?
Oh, my. That can't happen.
- Yes, Mother. - Gi Yun. We're in trouble.
Hee Jae went to pick Soo A up,
and Jaclyn found out and left angrily.
I'm afraid she might say something and throw a fit in front of Soo A,
so you should go to Soo A and try to stop her.
Okay. I understand.
- Mom! - Mom!
Goodness.
What should we eat?
- Mom! - Mom! Dad!
- Dad! - Hey.
- Soo A! - Soo A!
Soo A!
(The Elegant Empire)
"Contract Prohibiting Divorce?"
I'm giving everything I have to you,
so shouldn't you promise me this?
Soon, I'm going to hold an exhibit of Monet's posthumous works...
that were never seen before.
You will never be able to imagine the money I'll soon have.
Why was Hee Jae looking up sites about art?
Seo Hee Jae. What on earth are you up to?
