(Episode 131)
Mom, you woke up.
Mom.
Her vitals are stable,
but she hasn't recovered enough to recognize people yet.
Then when can she be completely conscious?
She's out of critical condition, but we should keep watching her.
Please try to keep her stable.
Okay, doctor.
She's sedated, so she'll go back to sleep.
Okay.
I am well aware that you have a strong obsession...
when it comes to your kin.
To make sure that the proper penalty is given to Jae Gyeong for this case,
I need to tell you something.
What is it now?
Did Ms. Yoon get herself into trouble again?
You're not... Seon Hwa.
Ms. Yoon is not your...
Sir.
I'm the one who planned it all.
Ms. Yoon has nothing to do with it.
I mentioned Ms. Yoon's name to buy the janitor off.
Soo Chul, what are you doing?
Soo Chul!
Jae Gyeong.
Jae Gyeong, are you all right?
- Carry her on your back. - Yes, sir.
Here. Hurry.
Your acting got better, Jae Gyeong.
That's how you're going to avoid the situation?
What?
That's why you called me.
You should prove your innocence with proof, then.
I don't have proof.
The security cameras at the parking lot were broken.
There were no cars parked near mine.
My dashcam was turned off too.
Right! I remembered something.
I put a micro camera on your trunk.
We had to move a large amount of money, so I installed it just in case.
What? Really?
Its battery has a high capacity, so it must still be on.
If Jae Gyeong was behind it, you'd be able to see every bit of her.
It's such a good camera.
Hello, Geum Deok.
Tell Jin Ah not to upload the recording to the bulletin board yet.
And stay keeping an eye on Chairman Yoon.
He must hate me even more because of what happened today.
Jae Gyeong, have some water.
I'm fine.
Are you all right?
Seon Hwa was going to tell my dad that I was not his daughter.
What should I do?
How can I keep her mouth shut?
It's driving me crazy.
You should be more careful when you meddle with her.
She's not powerless anymore.
That's why it's more frustrating.
I set her up, and she attacks me back.
What to do?
Jae Min wants to see me.
She keeps suffocating me. I can't breathe.
I barely managed to get out of it, but what if she tries it again?
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'll go tell him again.
Did you ask for me?
Please, Seon Hwa, what do you get out of this?
I told you.
If you confess and pay the price,
I'll generously let you live as Chairman Yoon's daughter.
You can have the easy way. Why are you struggling?
How can I trust you?
I'm not like you.
If you confess and pay for what you did,
I'm willing to be as generous.
Think long and hard.
If you stay as his daughter,
you'll be at least able to recover after you're released.
As long as I keep my mouth shut.
Right. I'll do as you say one by one.
Is that what you want?
I'll do as you say.
So please keep it from my dad. I beg you.
First, I'll tell him I won't take the president position...
and go to the police.
You've already fooled me enough.
I'll make a written promise if you want. I will.
Jae Gyeong said she'd confess?
Yes. She even wrote a written promise.
She won't be able to get out of it this time.
She was that desperate.
She always lied her way out,
so actually, I can't really trust her now.
I agree, Seo Jun.
Anyway, she will make it look like she's confessing, at least.
To her, there's nothing more important than the title of Dae Kook's daughter.
That's true, though.
You know her secret, so she has no choice.
She has to do as you say.
If she tries to pull a trick again, I'll tell Chairman Yoon right away.
She can't lie her way out again.
I really hope so.
You should put an end to this dragging battle.
I hope so too.
Mom woke up briefly but went back to sleep.
Is Mom okay?
Yes. She's all right.
I thought you'd want to hear about her.
Thank you for telling me.
You can stay with her a little.
I'm leaving.
Hey.
Thank you...
for helping me earlier.
I didn't try to help you.
I just wanted to let my dad know the correct information.
Jae Min.
By the time Mom wakes up,
I hope that we'll be over each other.
You should try too.
What is this?
"Um Chun Ja"?
It was sent to Hae Ran.
Why does Sang Hyuk have this?
It's from prison.
What is it?
Hae Ran, you better come to see me.
Or else, your son will be the next one to receive the letter.
If you don't care, suit yourself.
Just because you put me behind bars,
the big secret that will shake up your family...
won't be buried forever.
What is this about?
A big secret that will shake up my family?
Her son will be the next one to receive the letter?
Is this about Jae Min, then?
What could it be?
(Hi Kitchen)
These foods sell like hotcakes.
You can also combine different ones, so take a look.
I see.
It all looks so good.
(Napjakmandu tteokbokki)
I have so many delivery orders today.
- Hello, you came again. - Hello.
Everything you sell is so good.
- Feel free to take a look. - Okay.
- How are you doing? - I'm good.
By the way, the bakery guy likes Seon Hwa?
How can he fall for someone who's been like his sister all this while?
I got it.
Now that my daughter-in-law, Seon Hwa, turned out to be Mrs. Joo's real daughter,
he got thirsty for money.
Wait, I've done all the groundwork.
What if he takes her away from us?
I can't let that happen.
Hello, Sang Hyuk.
Okay. I got it.
What is it you want to say?
I'm hungry.
Why don't we talk over a meal?
I'm busy.
I have something to tell you about Mrs. Joo.
Let's talk over lunch, okay?
Oh, my.
I can't believe we haven't had time...
to eat together as a family.
Well, you're a director at Daekook Confectionery,
so you must be busy.
Enjoy the meal, you two.
Dig in.
She prepared your favorites only.
Get to the point.
Someone in prison wrote a letter to Mrs. Joo.
A letter?
Isn't that weird?
She's in charge of a welfare foundation.
I guess someone sent her a thank you letter.
They wouldn't send such a letter directly to her house.
Did you see who sent it?
I think it was from Cheongju Women's Correctional Institution,
by someone named Um Chun Ja.
Does it sound familiar?
It's my first time...
Don't kid yourself. I don't want your dirty money anymore.
- Let's go inside. - Please.
I said I'd give you the money.
Please.
It's too late for that.
What's wrong?
- Did I mess up your plan? - Mrs. Joo?
I already know what you're up to.
You think I'm stupid enough to negotiate with you?
Let's go inside right now.
No, we can't. Please.
Go inside!
What is it? Does it remind you of anyone?
What?
No. Let's just eat.
I don't think it can be anyone else but her.
If she sent it from prison,
it was definitely out of spite.
I think it could be the woman...
who was threatening Mom outside her house.
Oh, you mean the woman that Mr. Kang took away?
Yes.
You should go and ask Mr. Kang, then.
He could still have secrets that he hadn't told you yet.
I'll try to find out more using my connections in prison.
A letter from a prison?
So Um Chun Ja has sent a letter to Mrs. Joo?
You took a woman in your car in front of Jae Min's house.
That's her, right?
That's right.
But where is that letter now?
She sent it to Mom, so it must be at her house.
At her house?
Why are you so shocked?
Well,
we can't let Chairman Yoon or anyone else see that letter.
What?
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
Please just tell me.
Actually...
Hello?
The patient wants to see you.
Is my mom awake?
I just talked to your daughter. She'll be here soon.
Thank you.
Honey!
Are you okay?
Have you come to your senses?
Do you recognize me?
Honey.
You evil scum.
Dae Kook, You must've been behind this.
You tried to kill my Bit Na.
Honey.
Have you really regained consciousness?
I can never forgive you.
No!
That truck was heading directly toward Bit Na.
How dare you...
try to kill my daughter?
Honey.
Do you recognize me?
Mom, are you okay?
How do you feel? Do you know who I am?
Jae Min.
You need to calm down, Mom.
Honey.
Help!
Oh, goodness.
Who are you?
I'm Joo Hae Ran's daughter.
Oh, you're that step-daughter.
Would you mind telling me how you know my mother?
Judging by that question, you came here without telling her.
You can't read letters sent to someone else.
It says, if my mom doesn't come,
you'll send the next letter to my brother.
No matter how hard I think about it, I have no idea what it's about.
Tell me.
What do you have on Mrs. Joo?
You should ask your mom for yourself.
She's in the hospital now.
What?
And she's unconscious.
So there's no use blackmailing her.
How about you make a deal with me instead?
It must be the money you want.
Fine. I'll make a deal with you.
I'm getting released from prison tomorrow.
So set up a place for me to stay...
and give me some money to start a business.
Are you sure your information is worth all that?
Well, of course.
She sent me here to hush me up.
Can't you tell how desperate she was?
All right, then.
She fell asleep again.
I should've come sooner.
Mom. It's me, Bit Na.
Please wake up.
She's just sleeping.
So she'll be up soon.
Okay.
Mom.
There's still something that you haven't told me, right?
What is it?
Hey, Geum Deok.
Um Chun Ja had a visitor today,
and it was Jae Gyeong.
Jae Gyeong?
Why would she go visit Um Chun Ja?
Hey.
How is it going, Jae Gyeong?
Have you found a donor?
Yes, we've found one. Please hold on for a bit more.
I hope there won't be a rejection this time.
The donor is in good condition. Please don't lose hope.
All right.
By the way, what is your mom up to lately?
She hasn't visited me at all.
Well, I'll come with her again.
You should get some rest. I'll get going.
Why are you leaving so soon?
I'm bored. Stay here for a little longer.
I'd love to stay, but I need to get back to work.
I'll come again when the results are out.
(Daekook)
Such valuable information...
What could it be?
Are you sure your information is worth all that?
Well, of course.
She sent me here to hush me up.
Can't you tell how desperate she was?
Get some cash ready.
Why?
I need it to let someone open up.
Who is it?
Do I have to tell you everything?
Are you looking down on me because I'm just the daughter...
of some loser?
You know that's not what I think.
Then shut it and do what you're told.
Okay.
Mom.
It must've been so hard.
I'm sorry.
I will never...
let go of your hand anymore.
Mom,
I love you.
What are you saying?
We're launching a new branch in Mokpo, so I need you to go help them.
It'll take at least a year for it to settle.
Are you trying to separate me from your family?
It's important for Daekook.
I know you'd do your best all the time for our family,
so I chose you as you're the right man.
Sir.
Why? Are you upset?
Instead of contributing to the company, you helped Jae Gyeong's evil deeds,
helping my dad's wrongdoings as a result.
Do you know how critical it was to my family?
Critical?
My mom brought you in and took good care of you like her son.
Don't you really feel anything when she's lying in bed?
She'd say this often when we were little.
That you and I will be her hope.
But she's in the hospital because of you.
And you still don't feel guilty?
You're making Jae Gyeong a criminal with your choices.
Also, you're driving Dad to the brink.
You're working for Jae Gyeong and Dad,
but if you really care about them...
and want to be of help, you should leave them.
- Jae Min. - Or you'll drive them into catastrophe.
Then, you should've persuaded them or embraced them before then.
You didn't do anything.
What?
When Jae Gyeong was feeling lonely,
have you ever been there for her?
When she was struggling to get Chairman Yoon's recognition,
you were just busy with your life and never paid attention to her!
Soo Chul!
Don't try to blame me for everything.
It's your family matter.
I just do what I'm told to do, so your future has nothing to do with me.
Soo Chul.
Stop telling me that I'm your family or I owe your family.
I'm just doing my job.
Don't you really get what I'm saying?
It's to save all, you, Jae Gyeong, and Dad!
I'll go work in Mokpo if Chairman Yoon approves of it.
Excuse me.
You're not opening your eyes because you don't want to see me, are you?
You're sleeping too long.
I have a lot to talk about with you...
and do with you once you wake up.
Get better and wake up.
Director Yoon, see me in my office.
I've just gone to your mom.
Think about what she's going through and stop frowning.
Why are you always so mad?
Will you forgive Jae Gyeong and let it slide again?
What?
She framed Seon Hwa for bribery.
You've covered up for her so many times.
Will you just turn a blind eye to her...
whatever she does?
It's not simply because she's my daughter.
As an executive, you also need to think about the company's future.
Punishing her isn't always the best option.
Does that mean Seon Hwa and I can also frame you?
We should hush up everything for the company?
Why are you always at your only sister's throat?
Stop your nonsense...
and get ready to be inaugurated as the president.
Sure. I'll do that.
What's that?
Is that a no or a yes?
I still haven't decided...
whether to give up on you or not.
What?
Just do as I say.
Then, I'll take care of your life.
You'll take over this business and become the president and chairman.
If I'd striven so hard not to live as your son,
I would've put the one that hit my mom behind bars.
And, of course, the one behind him too.
What are you talking about?
I found out the culprit.
Hey, he turned himself in already. What are you saying?
I know he's not the real culprit.
Did you really think I wouldn't know?
I know who that is,
but I haven't made up my mind because of you.
Um Chun Ja, Prisoner 8505, is released on parole.
It better be the information that's worth this amount.
Tell me.
If I'd made a deal with your parents instead,
I would've received a lot more money.
I don't think you're in a position to say that.
Just say it. What is it?
It's about Jae Min, your brother.
About Jae Min?
Tell me. What is it about him?
Jae Min isn't Dae Kook's son.
What?
Are you saying Hae Ran had an affair?
No.
Then, what happened?
He's not Hae Ran's son either.
(The Second Husband)
Mom fooled not only my dad but also Jae Min.
She acted like his real mother. I'm at a loss for words.
Isn't it really funny?
I wasn't the only fake kid of my dad.
How will Jae Min be if he learns this?
He'll be hugely shocked.
A big storm will sweep all of you in no time.
Mom, maybe it's better not to wake up.
Seon Hwa, I got Chun Ja.
You better answer the questions nicely.
Please tell me about the information you blabbed to Jae Gyeong.
