Over here.
Soo A!
Soo A.
Soo A! No!
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Mommy thought you got into an accident.
- You're fine, right? - "Mommy?"
"Mommy?"
Are you okay?
Wait, could she be Ju Kyung?
Are you okay?
Ju Kyung.
"Mommy?"
Why did you call yourself her mother?
I may not have given her birth,
but I think of her as my real daughter.
Let's go, Soo A.
Hee Jae.
Why do I have a feeling that you're actually Ju Kyung?
Ju Kyung may not have died.
Go wash your hands, Soo A.
I'll make you some snacks.
"Mommy?"
Why did you call yourself her mother?
Did Jaclyn notice that I was Shin Ju Kyung?
I doubt it.
No, not yet.
Hello, Ms. Woo.
Hey, Woo Hyuk.
Let's grab a cup of tea.
Ms. Woo, do you have something you want to say to me?
What?
No.
It's nothing in particular.
Woo Hyuk, by any chance,
do you ever miss your dad?
My dad?
Why do you suddenly ask?
Well, I just wondered...
if you ever wanted to find your dad.
I do want to find out what he's like.
Of course, you do.
Nothing can replace the relationship between a parent and a child.
But I won't look for him.
Why not?
It seemed like he was awful...
to my mom.
If my mom doesn't want him,
then he means nothing to me.
I'm sorry, Woo Hyuk.
How can my husband ever wash away the sins...
he committed against your mom?
I'm sorry. I mean it.
I did as you told me.
I seduced and entertained Assemblyman Choi Byung Ik.
You got what you wanted...
by blackmailing him with the video.
So, just let me go now.
I want to sign with a different agency.
Na Hee, I never told you to seduce and entertain him.
(Voice Recording)
Chairman Jang...
Who told you to record this?
No one put me up for this.
I decided to do it to escape the agony of working with you.
Who put you up for this?
Was it...
Jung Woo Hyuk? Was it?
Yes, it was Jung Woo Hyuk.
Na Hee.
If you act as his spy one more time,
you won't just get kicked out of WJ Entertainment.
You'll end up leaving this world.
Do you get it?
Yes.
Jung Woo Hyuk.
How dare you use Na Hee to trap me?
How dare you do this to me?
Mom!
Hey, did you run that errand for your job?
Yes, I just had to deliver this document.
Thanks to that errand, I got to get off early and meet you.
It's so wonderful.
Anyway, why did you want to see me here?
I keep gaining weight with age,
and you didn't look after yourself because of your studies.
I wanted us to get pampered today.
May I have your name?
Woo Young Ran and Yang Bit Na.
What's your program like?
You can just lie on the bed. Our masseuses will do everything.
Gosh, that's amazing.
Mom, this place is wonderful.
Let's come again.
All right. Let's do that.
Bit Na.
You think love will last forever, but it changes.
Once this love passes,
you'll find someone else.
Mom, that's too complicated.
What are you trying to say?
Don't keep your eyes only on Woo Hyuk.
I heard his mom wouldn't even see you recently.
If the parents are against a relationship,
it'll always end on a bad note.
It's all Dad's fault.
That's why I've been studying so hard.
I'll pass the civil servant exam and get Dad's approval.
Wait and see. I'll earn his approval...
and get consent to date Woo Hyuk too.
Yes, it's your dad's fault, Bit Na.
You can never be with him...
because of a sin your dad committed.
Sung Il, about that woman you brought home.
How's your relationship going?
Jun Hee and I are over.
Really?
Wait, you said she was badly ill, right?
She has late-stage stomach cancer.
I wanted to stay by her side...
until she took her last breath.
Why does she suddenly want to break up?
She probably felt bad for you because she'd die soon.
You're such a poor man.
Why did you date a sick woman of all people...
only to feel this heartbroken?
Hee Chan.
That one person...
of all people is what makes love possible.
Among lots of people out there,
it has to be her of all people.
Among many places in this world,
you end up meeting her there of all places.
Among many different periods of life,
I ended up falling for her then of all times.
Do you know what her ex-husband is like?
I do.
You do?
I don't know who he is,
but I know what he's like.
He's the worst human being...
who abandoned Jun Hee and Woo Hyuk coldly.
Not only did he...
threaten her into getting an abortion,
but he ruined her hand too.
He's the most shameless punk who married a different woman,
leaving his pregnant girlfriend and unborn child behind.
He's less than human!
Is that so?
If I met...
that punk who did that to her,
I'll break every bone in his body and kill him.
He'll be cursed.
I finally met someone...
I truly loved in the latter years of my life.
But my love...
ended in vain.
Cheer up.
Thanks.
This is why friends are wonderful.
I was very troubled and heartbroken,
but I had a friend who could comfort me.
Being out here...
after being locked up that room feels nice.
Thank you.
I can't take you outside.
But I'll bring you out to the living room...
when nobody's home or everyone's asleep.
You'll get in trouble if we get busted.
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
- Don't worry. - Okay.
Got it.
There you go.
Goodnight, Father.
Yes. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Dad.
The casino bill passed.
You think of me as incompetent.
But I gained an unimaginable amount of power.
Dad.
You don't know that...
this family's tragedy all started with you, do you?
I doubt you can recall a thing because of your amnesia.
But do remember this.
You trusted and loved...
Ju Kyung more than me, your son.
That wrecked everything.
And now,
you're powerless.
I'm the one who makes all the decisions now.
Remember that.
Like you said,
I know that all tragedies...
started because of me.
That's why I want to set things right...
before it's too late.
He's not moving at all.
But I'm sure there's something in his study.
You broke up with Mr. Hwang because he was Hee Chan's friend?
Mr. Hwang turned out to be Yang Hee Chan's friend.
It was shocking...
to the point I laughed.
I was grateful to the deity that a man who would love me...
appeared before my death.
But to think that the man was Yang Hee Chan's friend.
People's fates are so nasty.
I blame the deity that the two are friends.
You and that jerk Yang Hee Chan have a terrible fate.
In the past, he heartlessly threw you away.
And right now, he has taken away...
your beloved when you're slowly dying.
Soo Ho.
It may be because I don't have much time left in this world.
But I feel bad for making Woo Hyuk and Hee Jae...
break up when they love each other dearly.
The two must be in great pain...
after breaking up unwillingly.
Should I have let them date?
Woo Hyuk doesn't show it, but he must be suffering a lot.
Mother.
Why did you gift Jaclyn the bracelet I gave you?
How did she know?
Jaclyn told me it was from you.
So don't think about lying to me.
I lent it to her, not give it to her.
Jaclyn threw a tantrum, demanding it from me.
Gosh, you know how persistent she can be.
You say that I'm the type of daughter-in-law you want.
But why do you keep doting on Jaclyn?
I don't dote her.
It's nothing like that.
Jaclyn is pregnant with the Jang Family's...
eldest grandson.
Put up with it until Jaclyn gives birth to him, okay?
Aren't you going to accept Jaclyn as your daughter-in-law again...
after giving birth to your grandson?
No way.
Once she gives birth to my grandson, I will take him...
and send Jaclyn to a mental hospital myself.
Do you think I will accept a lowly person...
like Jaclyn as my daughter-in-law again?
No, never.
I can't let such a low life...
raise the Jang Family's eldest grandson, can I?
Let's hurry up.
All right.
(Jung Capital)
Seo Hee Jae.
No matter how long you keep up your secret act, you'll be caught.
I'll catch you and expose your true identity.
Jaclyn. What are you doing here?
Gosh, you scared me.
I asked what you were doing here.
This building has an amazing ox bone soup place.
I came for that.
(Jung Capital)
Hey. Director Seo dropped by just now.
Jaclyn has started to suspect Director Seo as Shin Ju Kyung.
- Seriously? - She discovered that the bracelet...
Director Seo gave Gi Yun's mother was wiretapped.
It'll be bad if her identity gets exposed.
We'll counterattack first before that happens.
How?
We should think of a plan.
Jaclyn tried to kill Hee Jae.
Since the casino bill has passed,
countless people have been...
bringing in money to get on your good side.
What if Woo Hyuk sees you here?
How dare you show up unannounced?
Let me cut to the chase.
Now that my wife also knows I have a love child,
stop complicating things and move abroad with Woo Hyuk.
What did you say? Why should I leave?
Party Leader Yang.
Are you worried the signature-seeking campaign...
against the casino bill pass will grow?
What?
Before the public opposition expands,
we must stop it.
Don't worry.
We're looking into who is behind it.
My success is just around the corner.
I can't let this destroy me.
Bit Na, how are your studies going for the civil servant exam?
I still have trouble with English even though I studied abroad.
I've been watching American dramas to study some more.
Right, Mom. Even Americans don't show mercy...
to men who cheat and have children outside of marriage.
This was the plot for that American drama.
There was this man...
who had a happy family and a thriving business.
One day, a woman showed up with his son.
That man had told her to abort the pregnancy,
but she gave birth to the child behind his back.
When she showed up, his family became shattered.
Even I thought he was shameless and evil.
He was so afraid newfound son...
would destroy his success and happy family...
that he completely declined...
to accept his biological son.
How can he be like that?
Bit Na,
why did you choose such a weird drama to watch?
Goodness. I felt so bad for his wife and children,
who trusted him so much as they lived together.
And? How does it end?
The youngest daughter of the family ends everything.
Bang. She shoots him with a gun.
That's horrendous.
Bit Na.
You need to stop watching weird dramas like that.
Come on. A guy like that deserves to die.
I'm full.
Did you see that?
She got worked up watching some drama.
How will she think of you if she finds out...
you're as bad as that man in the drama?
Remember.
Bit Na can never find out.
All right.
What are you up to, Hee Jae?
I was taking your clean clothes back to your room.
I see. Okay. Thanks.
- Get some rest, Mother. - Okay.
My husband surely is charming,
but...
don't you feel ashamed...
to hit on a married man of all people?
You should be more ashamed...
for hitting on a married man of all people...
to make him divorce Ju Kyung...
while she was in prison.
How can you push your way into this house...
when I, Gi Yun's wife, am right here?
But I learned this from you.
What?
Remember when Ju Kyung went to jail?
I heard you moved into this house before the two divorced.
Hee Jae.
You always brought up Ju Kyung to aggravate me.
It's true that she said she was Ju Kyung's friend,
but she seemed to know everything about her.
Soo A!
She threw herself...
at the speeding motorcycle to save Soo A today.
That was a maternal instinct she showed her daughter,
something that she couldn't hide.
- Soo A. - Soo A.
- Soo A! - Soo A.
Soo A also instinctively knew you were her mother,
so she adored you more than me.
Seo Hee Jae,
I know you're Shin Ju Kyung.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
I need to see Gi Yun.
Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung!
I have to meet him and tell him that Hee Jae is Ju Kyung!
I have to meet him!
Please go home.
The chairman ordered me not to let you in his office.
I have to meet him.
I really have to meet him!
I have to tell him that Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung!
I have to meet him!
It seems like Ms. Jaclyn is slowly losing it.
No matter how much Director Seo looks like her,
- she shouldn't say such nonsense. - Tell me about it.
Director Shin is already dead. What's with her?
She must have gone crazy when Chairman Jang...
divorced and abandoned her.
She's in serious condition.
(Chairman's Office)
Honey, are you sure Shin Ju Kyung is dead?
Did you check her dead body?
Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung! I know she is!
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
(Message)
(To Jang Gi Yun)
(Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung! I know she is!)
Gi Yun, why won't you read my text message?
Isn't that a new bracelet?
Oh, this? It's from Hee Jae.
Yes.
Hee Jae gave her another bracelet.
I'm sure it's also equipped with a bugging device.
Once I find that and show it to Gi Yun,
he'll finally believe me.
Mother, can you find the bracelet Hee Jae gave you?
I'll go there now.
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
What is it, Director Seo?
Will you continue to condone...
Jaclyn's reckless behavior?
Mother, where's the bracelet from Hee Jae?
I looked for it but couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyway, why are you suddenly looking for it?
Are you going to take it and show it off to Hee Jae again?
I got into so much trouble because of that bracelet.
She must've gotten it before I did.
Mother, that bracelet had...
a bugging device.
What?
Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Seo Hee Jae is Shin Ju Kyung!
Shin Ju Kyung isn't dead yet.
We all got deceived by Ju Kyung, who's disguised as Hee Jae!
Jaclyn, don't you think your delusion has gone too far?
Did you say Hee Jae was Ju Kyung?
I can't stand this anymore, Jaclyn.
Honey, did you check her dead body?
Is she really dead?
Mother, can you pick up Soo A's toothbrush?
- Soo A's toothbrush? - Yes.
I checked.
I saw Ju Kyung's dead body with my own eyes.
Here's Soo A's toothbrush.
Jaclyn, these toothbrushes belong to Soo A and me.
You have it DNA tested.
Then, you'll know for sure.
What? A DNA test?
Here. You can have my hair too.
You're trying to buy time until the result comes out.
Gi Yun, can you call Dr. Oh and ask him...
to have the DNA test result by the end of the day?
I don't care how much it is. I'll pay for everything.
I'll destroy Jaclyn's deluded idea...
that I'm Ju Kyung.
If I can check the result...
without giving you a chance to switch it around,
then fine, let's run a DNA test.
That must be the DNA test result.
Seo Hee Jae.
No, Shin Ju Kyung.
You're done.
(The Elegant Empire)
Woo Hyuk will be in danger if he gets on Hee Chan's bad side.
He might harm Woo Hyuk.
Soo A. I want a happy life with you.
Mommy will quickly get my revenge.
Mother will take my baby and put me in a mental hospital?
Jaclyn. Your life will be at risk...
if you don't leave Gi Yun.
