(Episode 57)
She has advanced stomach cancer.
What did you just say?
"Advanced stomach cancer?"
Yes, she's far along in the progression.
That's crazy.
No.
Mom can't have cancer.
This can't happen to her.
No!
Woo Hyuk!
Uncle.
Mom has advanced stomach cancer. It's a lie, right?
Woo Hyuk.
What's this?
You knew about it?
And yet, you kept it from me? Why?
Your mom thought you'd suffer after realizing...
what she had.
That wasn't what she wanted,
so she had me keep quiet.
Mom.
Why did you worry about me when you were suffering?
I had no idea you were sick.
I was such an inattentive son.
You shouldn't have worried about me when you were in such pain.
I'm sorry, Mom.
For not knowing anything.
For not knowing you were unwell, I'm sorry.
Hey, Na Hee.
Great work.
Assemblyman Choi. I'll see you again.
Welcome back.
Did you wait for me?
Something like that.
You seem to have drunk a lot.
I don't think I can hold back tonight.
Hold back what?
I want to make love to you.
But I can't do that when you're right next to me.
Isn't it too cruel?
I'm going nuts, okay?
You're really selfish, Gi Yun.
Because of Jaclyn's money, you can't hand in the divorce papers.
But you're dying to make love to me?
Is this the love you talked about?
Is this the sincerity you talked about?
If I hand in the divorce papers,
I must return Jaclyn's investment funds within three months.
Including the second investment, it's a total of 200 million dollars.
There's a line of people hoping to invest in the VK Media project.
I can somehow get the money and return it to Jaclyn.
So what's the problem?
That money...
I don't have to return it to Jaclyn.
What do you mean by that?
It means I have zero interest in returning her money.
If Jaclyn dies...
or gets admitted to a mental hospital for mental instability,
that money will become mine.
That's because I'm Jaclyn's husband on paper.
But if we're no longer a couple on paper,
that money will go back to Jaclyn.
I understand your situation.
I'll wait.
Wait until you gain Jaclyn's money.
Only then will Jaclyn have nothing to do with you for good.
Let's talk about this again then.
Hee Jae!
Bit Na. Why did you drink so much?
You can't even walk straight.
Where's Dad?
He's sleeping.
Dad!
Shut it, Bit Na!
Dad!
Good grief, you...
Gosh, why is it so noisy?
Dad. Go and apologize to Woo Hyuk's mom at once.
What? How dare you spout drunken gibberish at me,
your dad?
I'm not spouting drunken gibberish.
Go and apologize to Woo Hyuk's mom...
for talking harshly to him,
looking down on him, and insulting him.
Who are you to look down on him?
Who are you to treat Woo Hyuk, the man I like,
without any respect whatsoever?
Stop this right now, you wench!
You are being rude to your dad.
Bit Na. Do we look funny to you...
because we let you do whatever you want...
without saying anything?
Mom. How can you do this to me?
So all you care about is Woo Hyuk's mom, right?
We, your parents who raised you,
look funny to you, right?
If you like Woo Hyuk that much, leave this house.
- Go live at Woo Hyuk's place! - Enough, honey.
- Leave, you wench! - Stop it.
That little...
I might really leave this house!
Mom. Do you feel better now?
This must be a hospital.
Woo Hyuk. My passing out...
shocked you, right?
I'm all right.
Why are you crying?
I'm not that sick.
Jun Hee. Woo Hyuk knows now.
I wanted to keep it from you.
I hoped you wouldn't know until the end, Woo Hyuk.
Mom.
How would I not know until the end?
I'm your son.
Your son who has the right to know...
and will nurse you when you're sick.
You're a foolish mom to want to keep your illness from me.
I knew it.
You're already crying so much...
on the day you discovered I'm sick.
I knew you'd be in so much pain.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea you were sick, Mom.
I found out too late.
Woo Hyuk.
I'm not scared of dying.
But I'm sorry, Woo Hyuk.
I can't spend more time with you.
It breaks my heart to think I must leave you here and die.
There are still so many things I want to do with you.
It's so unfair that I don't have more time.
I don't want to die whenever I think of you.
I don't want to leave you here and pass away, Woo Hyuk.
Mom.
I'll save you.
I'll cure your sickness...
so that you won't feel this is unfair or bad for me.
Woo Hyuk...
How can fate be this cruel?
How can my hard-working sister come down with such an awful sickness?
Mom, I can't let you go.
I'll save you.
My poor mom, all you ever did was work hard for my sake.
I can't let you pass away in vain.
Goodness, Woo Hyuk. My son.
Woo Hyuk...
I love you, Mom.
What am I going to do? He's driving me insane.
Is something going on, Ms. Bong?
Woo Hyuk can't be reached, and his shoot is coming up.
"Woo Hyuk can't be reached?" What do you mean?
I literally meant what I said. His phone is turned off.
Do you think he went off the grid?
Something must have happened to him.
He'd never go out of reach.
The phone is turned off. Please leave...
His mother won't pick up either.
Where are you going, Mr. Hwang?
Goodness.
Who is it?
Soo Ho, it's me, Hwang Sung Il.
Goodness, Mr. Hwang. What brings you here?
Something happened to Jun Hee, right?
She won't pick up her phone.
Her condition worsened. She needs to be hospitalized for a few days.
Woo Hyuk is there with her. I just came to pick up her clothes.
Goodness, is Jun Hee in a very bad condition?
Yes, a little.
Goodness, I wish...
I could be sick in her place.
Mr. Hwang, thank you...
for treating her so nicely.
She was never loved by a man before.
Thank you for giving her all of your heart.
You don't have to thank me. I'm more thankful for her.
I felt the surge of love once again in my late years thanks to her.
I get to smile when I wake up because I think of her.
When I close my eyes,
her face pops up in my mind, and that makes me happy.
I'm more thankful to her for letting me have...
these feelings.
She laughed a lot thanks to you, although she had been quite ill.
Well, I tried not to pry,
although I had been curious.
It's about her hand.
What happened to it?
Some crazy jerk did that to her hand.
"Some crazy jerk?"
Who? Why?
When she was pregnant with Woo Hyuk,
he told her not to have him.
When she refused, he took a bottle and ruined her hand.
How can he do something so atrocious to a woman...
who's pregnant with his baby?
Who was he?
What kind of man acts like he's less than a beast...
and does something that wicked?
It's this jerk.
He had been living a great life even after what he did...
to my sister.
He should be cursed.
Goodness, isn't that Hee Jae?
(Jung Capital)
What?
Why is the office closed?
Ms. Jung won't even pick up her phone.
What's going on?
Why has Hee Jae been coming to Jung Capital?
She works for WJ now, so I doubt she works as Woo Hyuk's manager.
There's no reason for her to see Woo Hyuk's mom.
Mr. Jung, it's me, Hee Jae.
Your office was locked.
And Ms. Jung won't pick up her phone either.
Hello, Director Seo. She is hospitalized.
"Director Seo?" Hee Jae?
Why is Hee Jae in touch with Woo Hyuk's uncle?
She was hospitalized?
Is she badly ill?
Well, something like that.
Can you tell me where her hospital is?
I have to be at work now,
so I'll find time to visit her later.
(Jung Capital)
I can't wrap my head around this.
What's the relationship between Hee Jae and Woo Hyuk's mom?
Will you come with me to the hospital, Mr. Hwang?
Yes, I should.
Anyway, do you stay in touch with Director Seo?
Yes, we got acquainted thanks to Woo Hyuk, and have stayed in touch.
Is that so?
- Let's go. - All right.
Yes, right.
- You can go. - Yes, sir.
(Restricted Caller ID)
What is this?
What kind of punk would do this?
I get a kick out of imagining Assemblyman Choi's face...
when he sees this video.
That womanizer ends up going down...
because of a woman.
And it's the end of Na Hee too.
Assemblyman Choi was just the beginning.
She'll now get busy going out to humor those we're trying to trap.
I'll use her as much as possible, then discard her.
Make sure she keeps her mouth shut.
Don't worry about it. She'd be too proud to admit...
she went out to humor politicians.
All she'll do is whine and beg me for some money.
Na Hee is rather dense,
so she's easy to handle.
Woo Hyuk, you said you had a shoot today.
I'm fine. You should go.
Uncle Soo Ho will be here soon.
I can leave after he comes.
Woo Hyuk.
My disapproval of your relationship with Hee Jae must've been hard.
I'm sorry.
I like her too.
But she laid down her life...
to get revenge on Gi Yun.
I understand how much you love her.
But I was afraid you'd feel tormented,
heartbroken, and hurt because of her.
That was why I disapproved of her.
I didn't want to die worrying about you.
I understand, Mom.
I would've done the same if I were you.
I meant everything to you.
That was probably why.
I won't make you worry...
in your sickness.
So, Mom, you can focus on your health.
Thank you, my son.
You're here.
I heard you just found out your mom had been sick.
You must be in shock.
I'm an awful son.
I had no idea until her condition worsened.
I'm too ashamed to face her.
You aren't an awful son.
Don't get such an idea.
Mom, Uncle Soo Ho is here,
so I'll go to my shoot.
All right. Have a good one.
Woo Hyuk is in low spirits after finding out you're sick.
Woo Hyuk cried all night long.
He thought I was asleep...
and cried quietly...
so as not to wake me up until morning.
What? Why?
- Enough. - What's wrong with you?
Give it back to me.
Is food all you think about?
Be thoughtful of the person who changes your diaper.
Changing your diaper is tough and humiliating, okay?
Stop being so selfish.
Hey, honey.
What is it?
I'm bored.
Can't you give me a phone?
How are you bored when all you do is sleep all day?
I want to talk with Sung Il.
He'll be delighted to know that...
I've woken up from my coma.
Ask Sung Il to come over.
Didn't Dr. Oh tell you to focus on getting better...
until you are physically and mentally stable?
You're acting like a kid, wanting a phone...
and your friend to come over.
Come on. I'm all better now.
- Look at me. Can't you tell? - I can't, okay?
I will only do as Dr. Oh tells me for your health.
I don't want to sleep.
Stop giving me the medicine. Stop it.
Gosh, quit giving me such a hard time!
- Good grief. - Seriously.
I don't want it. I don't want to sleep.
I beg you. Sleep!
Ever since he started eating normal food,
he's been full of energy.
Nursing him is starting to take a toll on my body.
Mother. Did you change the front door password?
Gi Yun was worried you might barge in at any time.
So he asked me to change it.
That's funny.
And he has no idea I'm stopping by behind his back.
Gosh.
I wonder what our eldest grandson wants to eat today.
Is there something you're craving?
Anything will do.
Make me whatever you want.
All right. Then I'll decide on the menu today.
Mother. May I take a quick nap in the room?
I get so sleepy now that I'm pregnant.
Sure.
Getting sleepy is natural when you're pregnant.
Go ahead.
So Gi Yun is living a solitary life in this room, right?
How about I pull a prank?
If Gi Yun finds this,
he might suddenly miss me.
And if Hee Jae finds this,
she might go wild thinking Gi Yun...
is seeing me in secret.
Whichever happens, it sure will be interesting.
Why is it impossible to get in touch with our actors today?
That includes you and Woo Hyuk.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
You see, I went to visit Woo Hyuk's mother at the hospital.
Is Woo Hyuk's mother not well?
Don't we need to go to the pre-reading of the movie script?
- I'll fill you in on our way. - Okay.
How is Woo Hyuk's mother unwell?
Woo Hyuk's mother has terminal gastric cancer.
What?
Woo Hyuk didn't know she was sick.
He found out yesterday, leaving him in shock.
So that was why I couldn't reach him.
I feel bad for both Woo Hyuk...
and his mother.
Woo Hyuk's mother only has a few months left.
She must be in great pain.
And the fact that his mother has limited time...
must be excruciating to Woo Hyuk.
Woo Hyuk must have had it hard.
Woo Hyuk's mom is terminally ill?
Jung Woo Hyuk. That's what you get...
for acting all arrogant.
Hey.
- Welcome, Hee Jae. - Ms. Jung.
- Soo Ho. Give us some privacy. - Sure, Jun Hee.
Hee Jae. I'm very sick.
What is it? Where does it hurt?
I have advanced stomach cancer.
Excuse me?
I keep passing out from the pain.
I guess I don't have much time left.
Ms. Jung.
You can't leave.
As a woman myself, I feel great pity for you.
So I want you to be happy no matter what.
That's why I'm helping you get your revenge.
Ms. Jung.
Does Woo Hyuk know?
Poor, Woo Hyuk.
He must've been really shocked.
I'm sorry, Hee Jae.
I feel like I'm splitting you two apart.
No. Don't say such a thing.
Woo Hyuk must meet a better woman than me.
Only then will he become happy.
Thanks...
for understanding me when my son...
is all I think about.
Ms. Jung...
You're enjoying it, aren't you?
It's not for me but the prince inside me.
Hey, Jaclyn.
Don't take this the wrong way, but listen to me carefully.
What is it?
It's not that I'm suspicious of you.
But I want to check and see if you're really pregnant...
with Gi Yun's baby...
and if that baby is a boy.
What? You want to check yourself?
In short, you can't trust me. Right, Mother?
No way.
I do trust you. I just want to be certain.
I made a reservation at an OB-GYN clinic I know.
Director Yoon. This is my son's toothbrush.
Please use this for the paternity test.
And check the gender of the baby,
whether it's a boy or a girl.
It's possible, right?
Yes, of course.
How long will it take?
- It'll take about a week. - I see.
Don't you have to leave?
I'll stay for a bit more.
Then let me drop by my office quickly.
I have an urgent business to take care of.
Go ahead.
Mom.
Excuse me. I'd like a photo of me alone.
You want to take a photo alone, Mom?
Yes.
Now that I recall,
I don't think there's a photo of me alone.
So I want to take one.
She took this photo to use as her funeral portrait.
It must've been so hard preparing for death all alone.
Mom...
I hear your mother is quite ill.
Yes.
You should've gone straight to her hospital.
I had to memorize my lines, so I came to pick these up.
Stay strong.
Okay.
Woo Hyuk.
I hear your mom is terminally ill.
How heartbreaking.
You're such a jerk.
You went around pursuing Hee Jae...
while your mother was terminally ill.
Don't you dare say another word.
If you do, I won't let you live.
If she was terminally ill,
it might be better if she died soon instead of torturing everyone.
No one stays a good child when one is sick for a long time.
"It might be better if she died soon?"
How can you say that as a human?
How do you call yourself one, you jerk?
Woo Hyuk, invite me to her funeral.
I'll pay a handsome amount as condolence money.
Gi Yun, you're worse than a beast.
Woo Hyuk.
Don't say a word and leave.
Hee Jae.
We're over now.
You can go live your life.
Go get your revenge on Gi Yun or whatever.
It's your life.
I'll now live for my mom, who suffered all her life because of me.
I'll only think of my poor mom...
until she leaves my side.
I won't do anything that can make her worry.
All right.
Do that.
I loved you.
But I'll forget you now.
Bye.
Goodbye, Hee Jae.
Woo Hyuk.
Jung Woo Hyuk.
Goodbye.
(The Elegant Empire)
He's going to take Father out of this home tomorrow?
I can't let Gi Yun send him to an island.
Someone knows about my plan and wants to stop me.
I need to find out who it is and get rid of them.
It's Hee Jae.
A few days ago, she went out late to work out...
and came back after a while.
Gi Yun is hiding something important in here.
Could it be Hee Jae?
