(Episode 126)
Hello.
Is this Haeng Sil? It's me, Duk Gu.
Duk Gu?
Duk Gu who?
I don't know anyone named Duk Gu.
Don't try to fool me.
I'm Ko Duk Gu, who was your pimp at Red Rose.
Did you forget me?
Why do you pretend not to remember me after all the years we lived together?
Well, you got the wrong number.
Who is it?
They just got the wrong number.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
There are a lot of things I want to do...
and have to do with you.
Bit Na, I'll wait for you.
Give me a call, okay?
Bit Na, can you try to understand me?
You don't know how hard it has been...
and how heartbroken I have been this whole time.
You have no idea.
I admit I was wrong.
So please open your eyes.
I won't say things that hurt you...
ever again.
It's not that I hated you.
Seon Hwa.
Here. Try this.
It doesn't take that much work, but it's really delicious.
I hope you enjoy it too.
Thank you.
How is Mrs. Joo?
She's still unconscious.
I hope she wakes up soon.
I've been too hard on her.
I didn't see it coming. I should've been calling her Mom.
I regret it so much.
Who could've seen it coming?
You think your parents will be with you forever.
You regret it when you lose them.
When Mrs. Joo wakes up, you should treat her better.
I hope I get to do that.
Does James Kang know about this?
I was going to see him anyway.
Mrs. Joo should wake up soon. This is bad.
By the way, Chairman Yoon seems to know about this company and me.
How is it coming along with what you're preparing?
Well, Mrs. Joo said she'd seen Chairman Yoon's fake account.
It'd be easier to make him pay with that.
A fake account?
Yes. I've already talked some board members into it.
So you're saying we need his fake account,
which we can have a hold on him with.
Yes.
Okay. I'll find it by any means.
I'll leave the rest to you.
(Daekook Group)
Put how much we paid Congressman Kim...
and how much bribe we received in the account.
Yes, sir.
Keep the account safe so that nobody notices.
Yes, sir.
An account?
Does he have a fake account?
Seon Hwa.
Where have you been?
You should've been shocked too. Did you get a thorough check-up?
I'm tired. Would you just leave?
Seon Hwa. If you need my help, just let me know.
Don't keep it to yourself, and just make use of me.
I'm good.
Don't just say you'll help her.
Why don't you give her the evidence on Jae Gyeong's crime?
You can't just say that she can trust you or you will help her.
I'm going to hand it over to her when the time is right.
The time is right?
You mean when you're sure you get something out of it too?
I don't act on something without thinking like someone.
I should make sure to have a way out so that I don't get in trouble.
Is that why you married the criminal, Jae Gyeong?
Mother.
Don't call me Mother.
You can't call me that when you're not even married to Seon Hwa.
Sang Hyuk.
Yes. What's up?
Are you really going to get a divorce?
I've been telling you that. Do you want to see the divorce papers?
Then you won't be on good terms with them either.
Don't worry. I'm not leaving their house empty-handed.
I'll ask for huge alimony when I do.
It'll be helpful for you too.
Sang Hyuk, before divorcing Jae Gyeong,
can you find Chairman Yoon's fake account?
You should get back at him too.
Don't let him push you around anymore.
Right. I can't let him do that anymore.
You're home late.
Why do you look surprised?
What are you up to behind my back?
What do you mean?
That's what you're good at.
You're rude to me since we're getting a divorce.
I've been coddling him too much.
I'm sorry I ignored your advice.
I'll take care of Seon Hwa my way,
so don't worry.
Seon Hwa,
this long battle with you is going to be over soon.
Your life will be miserable now since my dad found out who you are.
You've been too cocky.
Since Seon Hwa is a major shareholder,
she can take Chairman Yoon down for fraud.
Will she become chairwoman, then?
Anyway, being on her side is the best.
Where is Chairman Yoon hiding his fake account?
What are you doing here? Go to Tae Yang's room now.
His bed is so small that it hurts my back.
Whatever. I don't care if your back hurts.
Pack your things and go to your mother's, then.
Why would I leave?
What?
I'm speechless.
We're getting a divorce.
You're the one to leave. Why would I leave my own house?
I'll leave myself when the time comes.
When would that be?
When you meet my conditions.
Don't be ridiculous.
I told you I wouldn't give you a single penny.
Fine. Then I'll see you in court.
What? In court?
Yes. It should be fun.
"A caring mother?"
You've been portraying yourself like that on TV.
But you'll return a kid you stole and become a divorcee.
You'll disgrace yourself in front of everyone in the country.
Sang Hyuk, what did you just say?
Right. You're being bold with Seon Hwa on your back.
You'll regret it soon. You'll see.
Seriously.
Are you really going to do this?
- Did you just hit me? - Yes, I did.
Fine. It's on.
Hey!
What?
The truck driver confessed,
but my dad already settled?
How can he settle with a hit-and-run driver?
Dad.
Did you settle...
with the guy who hit Mom?
He's the reason that Mom is in a coma right now!
There's no need to be upset.
I took care of it because I didn't want to make a big deal.
The driver feels sorry for what he has done,
and he'll accept his punishment. What else is there to say?
Are you sure he was the one who did it?
You little...
What do you mean by that?
You were behind that hit-and-run accident.
You killed your friend so that you could get his wife.
You killed the witness and your friend's daughter...
to cover up your crimes.
Look at what happened.
The person who is suffering the most is my innocent mother.
Shut it, you punk!
Do you want me to live as the son of a murderer?
Is that what you really want?
Watch your words!
Who are you calling a murderer?
How dare you talk like that to your own father.
Apologize sincerely to Seon Hwa.
Then maybe Mom will still stay with you.
What did you say?
Do you know how badly you ruined my life?
I was so proud to be your son.
I gave up on my dreams...
to follow in your footsteps.
But this is what I get instead?
You rascal.
Get your facts straight before you talk!
Bong Man Sik's death had nothing to do with me.
- It was an accident. - Dad!
I'm innocent! I swear on my life that I am!
You swear on your life?
You even tried to hurt Seon Hwa.
Do you have any proof?
You're just making it up!
Just apologize for your crimes!
That's what you should do.
And that's the only way to regain my respect.
Do you understand?
That little...
That brat!
Goodness.
That useless brat.
Please pass this to Seon Hwa.
I made this herbal medicine with all the nutritious ingredients.
Take it away,
and stop bothering her already.
That's the only thing she needs.
Oh, come on.
This is good for the immune system, and it's suitable for anyone.
Please tell her to eat it twice a day.
I said, take it away.
I won't take anything from you.
Geez. Please tell her that her mother-in-law...
made this medicine with love.
You're unbelievable.
What is it? Did Jae Gyeong kick Sang Hyuk out?
Is that why you're here again?
You must be so busy trying to please everyone.
Watch that filthy mouth of yours.
Although they didn't have a wedding,
Seon Hwa has been like a part of our family...
ever since she was in high school.
So stop acting like you know what's best for her.
It's not the first time I've heard that.
You call her family, but you just treated her like a free housekeeper.
And as soon as Jae Gyeong appeared,
you kicked her out without a word. So it's not your place to say that.
I'm trying my best to put up with you.
But you better not push it.
You're getting on my nerves now.
I'll put up with you today for my children's sake.
Just keep that in mind.
Here.
Jae Gyeong.
You're Jae Gyeong, right?
Who are you?
Do you know me?
Of course, I do. I know you very well.
What in the world...
Let's talk for a bit.
It's an emergency.
Take your filthy hands off me.
- Who are you? - Oh, goodness. What are you doing here?
Mom. Do you know this man?
Of course, she does. She knows me very well.
- You're... - Hey!
How dare you!
Get over here, you jerk.
Go upstairs, Jae Gyeong.
- Who is he? - Just go upstairs!
Let's talk outside.
I came all the way here because you wouldn't pick up your phone.
Don't be ridiculous. Get over here!
Geum Deok.
Oh, the coffee shop in front?
Okay, sure. See you later.
How dare you come here?
Do you have a death wish?
It hurts.
What are you, a dog? How could you just bite me like that?
You better shut it.
Or you won't get the liver that you need.
You wench...
You treat your lofty husband like this?
Husband? Don't be ridiculous.
That was ages ago.
My husband is Yoon Dae Kook of Daekook Confectionery,
and Jae Gyeong is Dae Kook's daughter.
Why did you have to come here and mess up our lives?
Oh, what a joke.
You know, and I know...
that Jae Gyeong is my child.
Can't I ask my own daughter to help with my liver transplant?
Why would she be your daughter? Stop that nonsense.
Jae Gyeong is Chairman Yoon's daughter.
You made that up.
You were the one who asked me...
to rig the DNA test results. Don't you remember?
She got to live a good life, thanks to me.
Now it's time to return the favor.
Isn't that the duty of a child?
Have you lost your mind?
If you ever come close to Jae Gyeong again,
I will kill you and kill myself. Do you get it?
I saw Jae Gyeong on the television.
She grew up to be a smart lady.
If you show up in front of her again,
I won't let you get away with it.
Hey, Geum Deok.
What's wrong?
No wonder he looked familiar.
What is it? Do you know him?
He was talking with Ms. Park just now.
There was a famous pub at Sinchon Crossroad in the past.
He was quite a popular waiter who worked there.
- Really? Him? - Yes.
He leeched off different women to make a living when he was young.
I haven't heard about him in a while.
I guess he just got out of prison.
I see.
But why would he be talking about Jae Gyeong?
What do you mean by that?
Ms. Park kept telling him to stay away from Jae Gyeong.
Maybe she got scammed again.
You're right.
Who was that?
Was he a loan shark?
Forget about him. He's just some nobody.
Seriously.
If he was just some nobody, how did he know where I worked?
And he even knew my name.
It seemed like he came to see me, not you.
Well, actually...
Don't tell me...
you picked up your old habit again.
You used to bring different men home when I was young.
Are you still doing that?
You brat.
I told you that he was someone I used to know.
You knew him?
Why would he come to my company, then?
Have you lost your mind? He must be some fraud.
Okay, I get it.
It was my mistake.
He helped me out a few times in the past.
But now, he needs a liver transplant.
So he came to borrow money from me.
You don't have money too.
Just be careful.
Dad is very sensitive right now.
Yes, I get it. Stop it already.
By the way, how's Hae Ran doing?
She hasn't woken up yet?
I think so.
This might be my chance to get into that house.
Let's just wait and see.
I need to go seduce your father.
Maybe I should go to the salon and get my hair done.
Honey.
Perhaps...
it would be better...
for you to stay by my side like this.
You'll look for Seon Hwa as soon as you wake up, won't you?
And you'll hear from Jae Min too.
Even if I have to erase every trace of Man Sik in this world,
I will never let you go.
You are what I live for.
If...
you try to leave me,
I'll kill you to keep you by my side.
You will always be mine.
So,
don't leave me, Hae Ran.
Good. That's how you mix it.
Good job.
Gosh. You're good at mixing the dough, Tae Yang.
Now, we'll put in milk and whipped cream.
Why don't we put any eggs, though?
Oh, my. I forgot about it.
You're so smart, Tae Yang.
Your mom is forgetful.
Isn't she funny?
I'm forgetful too.
I often lose my colored pencils at kindergarten.
That's my boy. You are just like me.
If you think the eggs smell a bit fishy,
you can put in some vanilla oil.
This is so cool.
Making bread is so much fun.
Can I make this and give it to my friends tomorrow?
Of course. I'll give you more bread that I made,
so have it as a snack with your friends and teacher.
I'm so excited!
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, my son.
Here you go.
(Jubo Hospital)
Hello.
You came by today as well.
You're truly amazing.
It's me, Bit Na.
When you wake up,
the first thing I want to do is to fix you a delicious meal.
We'll talk about Dad,
and I'll show you Sae Byeok too.
So, please stop sleeping and get up soon.
I will never give up.
So don't give up, Mom.
Okay?
You can't come in here. Please leave.
Try calling Ms. Yoon. Don't you have a walkie-talkie?
Please stop and leave.
- Thank you. - Call her for me once.
- That man is... - Please leave.
You must look down on me because I'm dressed modestly.
- You can't be in here. - What's going on?
Hello, Director Bong.
I'm sorry. He insists on meeting Ms. Yoon in product development.
Do you have an appointment with Ms. Yoon?
I'm someone who doesn't need to set an appointment with Jae Gyeong.
Can I talk to you for a second?
You're a close colleague of Jae Gyeong's?
Of course. We're best friends who help each other out in hard times.
If you need any help, you can contact me.
Ms. Yoon is busy, so I don't want her to be worried.
(Director Bong Seon Hwa)
Yes. I'll see you at the inauguration ceremony, then.
Thank you.
You're a director here, but you still don't have manners.
Don't you ever knock?
I'm here to congratulate you in advance.
I hear you'll be sworn in as the president.
What are you cooking up now?
Do you feel victorious now that you've made it...
by pushing Jae Min out of the way?
I don't appreciate your gesture, so get out now.
I told you...
that I was going to kick you out as soon as I'm sworn in.
You know what?
If you think about it, you're my younger sister.
Once Mom regains consciousness and recovers her health,
I'll join your family and live as Bit Na.
What?
Don't even think about getting involved with me as my sister.
I won't accept you as family.
Dad will feel the same way too.
No matter how much you struggle,
you can't ever be part of my family.
Really? I'm already part of the family. What makes you think you can say that?
- My blood is the proof. - Seon Hwa!
Be more polite. I'm your sister from now on.
Don't be cute with me.
What?
Are you out of your mind?
I see you're already here.
Director Bong, are you really a friend of my Jae Gyeong?
"My Jae Gyeong"?
How much do you want?
I'll give you the money, so give me the information in exchange.
What is it you want to know?
Your relationship with Park Haeng Sil...
and why you need to meet Jae Gyeong.
I'm not sure.
Would that do?
This is far from enough.
Look who's here.
Why are you so surprised, Duk Gu?
You're mistaken.
Come on. We've seen a lot of each other while passing by.
Geum Deok, do you know this man?
Sure.
If I make a call,
there should be around ten people who'll come to get paid from him.
Hold on. Should I call Chun Ja?
Well, do you want to tell us now?
You should be the only ones who know about it.
You can't let Haeng Sil know that I told you about this.
Are we clear on this?
Of course. We'll keep your secret too.
I need to get a liver transplant.
A liver transplant?
We heard it, but why do you want to meet Jae Gyeong?
Please go ahead.
You see...
(The Second Husband)
His name is Ko Duk Gu. He used to live with my mom?
But I heard something weird.
- He has a daughter. - A daughter?
Did you forget the secret that I covered up for you?
I can spill the beans if you get on my nerves.
Go ahead.
I can throw Seon Hwa and you in jail. Don't mess with me.
Jae Min did?
Is Jae Min digging up on me?
Does he know that we have a fake account?
Why don't you try telling Jae Gyeong?
Ask her to help me with my liver transplant.
Can't she do this for her father?
Is he really my biological father who gave birth to me?
