Mommy!
- Soo A, what's wrong? - Mommy!
- Soo A! - Mommy...
Mommy!
Jang Soo A!
I want to go to Mommy!
Soo A!
Soo A...
Don't violate the restraining order.
I must go to Soo A.
Please let me go to my daughter.
Breaking the law isn't right,
no matter how much you miss your daughter.
Only you will suffer the consequences.
My Soo A.
Soo A...
Mommy going on a business trip was a lie, right?
I want to go to Mommy!
I want to live with Mommy!
Babe. What's going on?
Jang Soo A. Did you just say you wanted to live with Mommy?
Yes! You hurt Mommy, didn't you, Daddy?
You were the one who sent Mommy to the other side, right?
Why did you do that to Mommy?
Jang Soo A. Listen carefully.
Remember how the police took Mommy away a few days ago?
Mommy was released because I helped her.
But if you don't listen to me,
I can no longer help Mommy.
In other words, disobey me,
and Mommy will be in danger.
I hate you, Daddy!
Stop it, babe. You're being too harsh on her.
You've done enough.
- Leave. Go now. - Let's leave, Gi Yun.
Oh, dear. Are you okay, Soo A?
Calm down. Take deep breaths.
Slowly. Breathe in and out.
- I want to go to Mommy. - What?
Jang Gi Yun, you're abusing Soo A...
in a crafty way as her father.
Soo A must live with her mom, Seo Hee Jae.
It's okay.
Gi Yun. It's my first time...
witnessing Soo A rebel against you.
Seo Hee Jae is the cause...
behind Soo A's ill behavior.
What if something happens to Soo A?
What if she stops talking like last time...
because she can't see her mommy?
Even if that happens,
I will not let her go to Hee Jae.
You're right. You and Hee Jae are not meant to be.
Your ties ended a long time ago.
You two mustn't get involved again just because of Soo A.
Did something happen?
(Jung Capital)
I can't meet Soo A because of the restraining order.
Soo A has it the hardest right now.
Even though I was an adult,
it felt like my world collapsed when my mom died.
So think about Soo A. She can't see her mom again.
I feel terrible for her.
Thinking that Soo A might have...
another emotional breakdown because of Gi Yun...
breaks my heart.
I want to kill Gi Yun.
I want to kill him and end things quickly.
Getting revenge is so tough and tiring.
I just want to kill Gi Yun and end it all.
Even if it's unfair and slow,
we must punish Gi Yun using the proper method.
We must not become evil like him.
That is the right thing to do, even for Soo A's sake.
Soo A is giving me a hard time.
I'm so exhausted.
Good.
- I'm back. - You're back late today.
The IP address alone isn't enough to prove that Ju Kyung is innocent,
so I'm here to see you.
Please help her.
There was a time...
you came to see me...
because Ju Kyung was wrongly accused of embezzlement, right?
Yes. Thanks to you,
Director Shin's false charges were cleared.
But Gi Yun is still...
tormenting Ju Kyung.
Do you not resent me?
For Gi Yun,
I did something...
I shouldn't have done to Ju Kyung.
Honestly, I do resent you.
Even if you did it for your son as a father,
you made the wrong decision this time.
Your son committed a sin.
But you offered yourself as a way for him to get away with it.
Get some rest.
Chang Sung.
I understand how much you care about Gi Yun.
But you went too far.
Woo Hyuk is right.
You gave him an excuse to get away with his crime.
And that will only destroy him more.
Gi Yun killed a person.
Mr. Yang?
Gi Yun, did you think I would never wake up?
I still have the file...
that can prove your corruption.
Come tomorrow, all your corruption will be exposed.
You don't have such a file.
I'll take your life before your exposure.
Stop...
Is the book containing my corruption still around somewhere?
(Seoul General Hospital)
Honey.
It's the new year now.
When will you wake up?
Aren't you tired of sleeping for this long?
How shameless.
How dare you come here?
Young Ran,
I couldn't sit at home because I was worried about him.
I'm sorry for the last time.
"I'm sorry?"
Hey, the one who did this to Hee Chan...
was your son.
How can you be so shameless?
Young Ran, the police said...
Gi Yun didn't put him up for this.
And the video of Mr. Tak hitting Mr. Yang...
was a fake too.
Gi Yun wrongfully suffered from this misunderstanding,
and it ruined our friendship too.
I'm so heartbroken.
I don't think it's a misunderstanding. It was Gi Yun.
It wasn't him.
Young Ran, once this is confirmed as Gi Yun's doing,
it won't be too late to cut ties with me then.
I don't have any other friend...
I can spill out my heart to.
You're the only one.
I want our friendship to go back to how it was before.
I mean it.
Goodness. Stop it.
I got it, so stop crying.
How's Mr. Yang?
As you can see, he's the same.
I hope he wakes up soon.
Hello?
Right, you were to come by to read the gas meter, right?
I'm so sorry. I keep forgetting the date.
I'll stop by at home right now. Bye.
Did something happen at home, Young Ran?
I keep forgetting to get the gas meter inspected.
Gosh, you were probably out of it after Mr. Yang got hospitalized.
I'll stay here. You can go home and take care of that.
- You're willing to stay here alone? - Yes.
I want to catch up with you...
and spend a long time together today.
All right, then.
I'll make it quick.
Sure, have a safe trip. Okay.
Visit Yang Hee Chan's hospital room and see if there's a flash drive.
"A flash drive?"
Is it important?
Yes.
What's this? It's not here.
It was odd...
that Hye Rim suddenly came to visit.
- Hye Rim! - My goodness!
What are you doing right now?
Hey, Young Ran. You're back already?
I knew something was weird when you suddenly came to visit.
What are you looking for?
I was wondering if you had nail clippers.
What nail clippers?
Gi Yun sent you here, didn't he?
Goodness. No, Young Ran.
Stop denying it!
I was deceived like a fool when you shed tears...
saying you wanted to restore our friendship.
Hye Rim, you are less than human, okay?
Get out.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Get out of here. Get out!
- Get out! - I will leave!
How can you take my sincerity the wrong way?
Our friendship is so over!
Goodness gracious. This is unbelievable.
How can she be so brazen?
What was she looking for?
You surprised me.
You're such a prankster.
Give me your number.
- What? - I'm sorry, Na Hee.
I respond automatically when a stranger creeps up at me.
What am I going to do now?
Your num...
Sorry? What?
Your number.
- The phone number? - Yes.
Hello? Is this 911?
(Chairman Jang Gi Yun)
Hee Jae, why are you still in the office?
Go to NA Entertainment and work with Woo Hyuk.
Lift my restraining order.
Stop pretending like you have maternal instincts. It's disgusting.
What?
If you had really cared about her...
and wanted to live with her, you should've knelt before me.
You should...
beg me to let you live for Soo A's sake.
Soo A is your child.
How can you use her only to get your way?
She finally overcame her depression and began to speak.
Will you take responsibility if something happens to her again?
Exactly.
Squeeze out your maternal instincts and kneel down before me.
Then, I'll let you meet Soo A.
How do you want me to kneel before you?
The stock shares. Return the shares I gave you.
And bring WJ's shares that Woo Hyuk has.
Gi Yun, how dare you take advantage of Soo A...
as a tool for your greed?
Bring me the shares.
Prove to me that your maternal instincts...
are genuine.
If anything happens to Soo A,
I will kill you.
As you wish.
(Seoul General Hospital)
Mom, I'll look after Dad now.
You should get some rest.
Goodness, you came with Woo Hyuk?
We met out front.
Honey, Woo Hyuk and Bit Na are here.
I'll go home for now and come back soon.
You always talk to him, although he can't hear you...
because he's unconscious.
He may not be conscious, but he may be listening.
He may wake up much faster...
if he can feel our love for him...
and how we wish he'd wake up soon.
Right, Woo Hyuk. Hye Rim came by in the afternoon.
I thought it was odd that she suddenly came to visit.
I left the room for a moment and came back,
and I found her looking for something.
It must've been something important...
if she came this far to look for it.
What do you think it is?
It was probably the corruption files Father had.
He took the original copy,
but he must be scared there might be a backup.
Gi Yun must be anxious because he's guilty.
Honey. You heard him, right?
Wake up already and tell the police...
everything Gi Yun has done.
Only when you wake up can Gi Yun be punished.
Gi Yun. I searched through Mr. Yang's hospital room.
But there was nothing.
Then there shouldn't be any other copies.
What about Soo A?
Does she still throw up whatever she eats?
Yes. She's even scared of me.
She keeps hiding from me.
I'll give her a few days before we go see a doctor.
I wonder who she takes after to be so weak.
How pathetic.
You must not let her meet Hee Jae, even from now on.
The more Soo A meets Hee Jae,
the more she will disobey you.
Of course. I won't let someone like Hee Jae...
act like Soo A's mom.
Soo A. I'm meeting your mommy tomorrow.
Do you want me to pass on a message?
Listen, Soo A. I was adopted by a family in the US,
a faraway country.
And I cried tons because I missed my mommy.
So, did you meet your mommy?
You'll eventually meet your mommy, too.
Soo A.
I'm sorry.
Yelling at you...
and making you call me Mommy against your will was scary, right?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
I always wanted to apologize to you.
I know you can't forgive me even if I apologize.
I will forgive you.
My teacher told me to forgive anyone...
who apologizes sincerely.
The one apologizing must have mustered up their courage.
So I should forgive them.
Thanks.
You're much better than the adults.
The adults never apologize,
no matter how big of a sin they committed.
And even if someone apologizes, they don't forgive them.
Please tell Mommy when you meet her...
that I'm waiting for her.
I will.
Prosecutor Yoo.
There are only ten days left until signing the formal contract...
and the groundbreaking ceremony of the Casino Media Valley.
My dream will finally come true.
Congratulations.
The world will become yours, Chairman Jang.
They say to think carefully before you leap.
With only ten days left, I must take caution.
The civic group's protest getting worse...
and Mr. Yang's incident...
has put me in a pinch.
But I'm sure you'll defend me well.
Now that we're working together,
I will fulfill my duty.
Please take good care of me.
I'm not interested in some petty money.
Give me a business share of the Casino Media Valley.
You think big, Prosecutor Yoo.
I can sense that we're alike, and I like it.
(Regular Mail)
Good grief, that wench Jaclyn.
I wonder how much she'll bug me and make me flip out.
It's best not to bump into her.
I just left the house, Hee Jae.
"Hee Jae?"
Why would Jaclyn meet Hee Jae?
Don't worry.
Jang Gi Yun doesn't know that I'm on your side.
Jaclyn is on Hee Jae's side?
Those little...
Those cunning wenches!
What are they scheming together behind Gi Yun and my back?
Soo A is distressed, right?
I feel bad for her.
We must rescue Soo A from Gi Yun.
Soo A wanted me to tell you she was waiting.
Let's bring Gi Yun down as soon as possible.
Tak Sung Gu will appear to get in touch with Gi Yun.
Call me the moment you see him.
Got it.
Mother is watching us.
What now?
Let's proceed with our plan.
Tell Mother that you found out where Father is through me.
And talk her into...
getting Father out.
All right.
Let's carry out what you prepared today.
Those wicked brats.
How dare you deceive Gi Yun and me?
I must tell Gi Yun at once.
From now on, focus on getting rid of...
the civic group and Jung Woo Hyuk, the one behind that civic group.
We must destroy Woo Hyuk in particular.
How should I do it?
That... Please give me a moment.
Yes, Mom?
Gi Yun! Jaclyn and...
I'm in an important meeting right now.
I'll call you back later.
My apologies.
That is for you to come up with.
Please get rid of Woo Hyuk...
before my eyes once and for all.
Gi Yun?
- Darn it. - Mother!
My gosh.
Why are you here? What if Hee Jae spots you?
Hee Jae thinks I'm on her side.
Aren't you working with her?
No way.
I only met up with Hee Jae because Gi Yun wanted me to.
Gi Yun did?
It's about Father. He didn't disappear.
Hee Jae took him.
I met with her to find that out.
Hee Jae took your father-in-law?
Right. I knew it.
Let's go, Mother. We should get Father right away.
How did you find out where he is?
As Gi Yun ordered,
I used lifting the restraining order as bait.
Thinking that I was on her side,
Hee Jae told me where Father was when I promised to talk Gi Yun...
into lifting the restraining order.
Really?
- Lead the way at once. - Let's go, Mother.
Good thing we found him.
- Where is he? - Just follow me.
All right.
(Ilsong Mental Hospital)
Good gracious. Hee Jae admitted your father to a mental hospital?
Hee Jae is out of her mind, right?
I can't believe this. Goodness.
This is the room.
But your father isn't here.
Oh, my goodness.
Jaclyn! What do you think you're doing?
- Let go! - I'm only doing as you taught me.
Didn't you lock me up in a mental hospital before?
You're putting me in a mental hospital...
when I'm not insane?
This is illegal!
You also broke the law and put me in a mental hospital!
Without two witnesses from the immediate family,
you can't commit someone.
But you forged the document and locked me up.
Did you forget that?
You won't get away with this!
Once Gi Yun finds out,
he'll kill you!
I planned this out for a long time to get back at you...
for what you did to me.
And today's the day.
You wicked girl!
I won't let you get away with this! Just you wait!
Calm down, Mother.
You'll spend the rest of your life here,
so you better save your energy.
Hee Jae, you. Did you two work together...
to do something this wicked?
Mother, you bore false witness and said I killed Father.
You framed me for murder,
and I had a miscarriage because of the shock.
A mother should correct her son when he goes astray.
But you let Gi Yun become a monster with your ill-advised love!
You egged him on instead of trying to stop him...
and joined his evil deeds!
How many more must fall into misfortune...
because of Gi Yun before you finally get a grip?
Mother, stay locked up in here for the rest of your life...
to atone for every wrongdoing you have done.
You won't get to see your beloved son...
until your last breath.
You'll have to stay here and live in this tormenting pain.
Gi Yun will come and save me!
I know he will come...
and find me!
That won't happen.
Take care, Mother.
Gi Yun!
Gi Yun! I have to leave!
I'll see you next time.
Yes, we will.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Why won't she pick up?
Let go of me!
Gi Yun!
(The Elegant Empire)
Something must have happened to my mom.
Was it Hee Jae?
Gi Yun, Mother won't come back, ever.
You found Tak Sung Gu?
He's a wicked and scary man who can hurt people.
Who knows what he'll do to you and Director Seo?
Once you take the full blame and go to prison for Gi Yun,
he'll scrap you immediately.
Do you wish to be scrapped like that?
Tell the police that Gi Yun was the one who made you do everything.
