(Final Episode)
(Funeral Parlor)
(The late Nam Tae Hyung)
Ji Hwan.
(The late Nam Tae Hyung)
Must you, Ham Sook Jin, to the very end?
You're writhing in pain yourself.
So why don't you remember what you did to others?
Why don't you remember the pain...
you caused to someone else's parents and children?
You have no right to die!
Live. Survive, somehow.
Live...
and pay for everything.
For your son Tae Hyung's share as well.
Mother.
Let's go outside.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
Before I was sentenced,
I thought I should tell you what happened that day.
If your father were to testify about what had happened to Ms. An,
I thought Ji Hwan would retaliate right away.
To me, that meant Ji Hwan would no longer have a use for me.
I thought he'd abandon me.
So you went to my dad to ask him not to testify?
He refused, of course.
He said he'd take me to Ji Hwan...
and make me tell Ji Hwan what I'd asked him to do.
I tried to stop him and...
I didn't know how you felt back then.
I'm truly sorry.
Was that so hard to say? That you're sorry?
I'm glad you told me the truth now.
But I can't forgive you.
Because your apology won't bring my dad back.
I know.
Whatever sentence I get tomorrow, I won't appeal.
I'll pay for what I did.
I just wanted to sincerely apologize, regardless of the ruling.
Here's the sentence.
Defendant Nam Tae Hee is sentenced to eight months in prison.
Prosecution, what is your demand?
Nine years ago, the victim An Kyung Sun...
disappeared without a trace...
a day before a trip to Jeju Island.
Her son Woo Ji Hwan searched nationwide for her,
living a nightmare.
To cover up her son's hit-and-run,
Ham Sook Jin committed crimes that cannot be overturned.
Attempted detainment of Nam Tae Hee, bribery,
forgery of official and personal documents,
and embezzlement and dereliction when she was the CEO of WIDE.
The defendant committed so many crimes,
it's almost impossible to believe they were one person's doing.
I hope that the law will bring justice to all.
Here's the sentence.
Defendant Ham Sook Jin...
used her authority for her personal gain.
She caused immeasurable pain to a woman and her family,
and shows no sign of remorse, or intent to apologize,
or improve her ways.
So the court sentences the following.
Defendant Ham Sook Jin...
is sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
It's over now.
Yes.
It took a long time.
I'm glad it ended well.
You helped massively.
Thanks for everything, Ju Hong.
No. It was all you.
As someone's son, brother,
and dad,
it was a tough ordeal.
Thanks to you, I can leave in peace now.
You're leaving?
Do you have to go?
Moving to an island to be a doctor has been my dream since I was young.
That's why I chose to be an ER doctor.
The experience there...
Yes, I know.
You want to use your experience in the ER...
to care for the elderly and kids on the island.
Come with me.
It's a lovely place by the beautiful sea.
I have a life of my own.
Business is booming.
I can't suddenly close the store and move away.
Should I stay too, then?
I know so well why you want to leave.
I can't tell you to stay.
It's not like you're going to the US.
You'll be a day trip away.
Why do you want me to come with you so badly?
Gapa Island isn't that close by.
You'll come home every month.
And I'll visit you too.
Then can I really make the decision I want?
Do I have to answer that?
(Good boy Woo Ji Hwan)
"Good boy, Woo Ji Hwan."
(Ju Hong)
Sir.
Ji Hwan. Ju Hong just left for the airport.
Shouldn't you go after her?
Come on, Ji Hwan.
Do whatever you want.
Of course. There's no way Ji Hwan and Ju Hong drift apart like this.
Hello, this is Chief Secretary Heo Jin Ho.
Mr. Woo's afternoon meetings. Let's reschedule them for tomorrow.
Yes. I'll call you back.
Ju Hong.
Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?
Take care.
You'll do great wherever you are.
Thanks. I hope you do great too.
I will. Thank you.
Ju Hong.
When you come back to Seoul,
shall we go to Mount Nam?
What?
We can have tteokbokki.
Answer after we finish the tteokbokki.
After we finish the fried rice.
If you drink all this water, it's a yes.
No, if you don't.
I'll wait.
With a huge cup full of water,
I'll wait for you this time.
Passengers taking Hanguk Air K501 to Jeju Island,
please proceed to the gate.
I think...
I should go.
Take care.
(Late Nam Tae Hyung)
(Osiris Hall)
When I was lying in the ICU,
I chatted with Mr. Second Floor.
Oh, did you?
Yes.
(Late Nam Tae Hyung)
Are you in a lot of pain?
I feel nauseous and dizzy,
and have a fever.
I'll get the transplant, become healthy,
and run the relay next year.
That thought is what keeps me going.
You should think of what you want to do...
once you leave the hospital...
and stay strong.
What do you want to do when you get better?
Or is there something you want to eat?
I often...
think of eating bulgogi...
and kimchi with white rice.
Be quiet.
What?
I can't hear you.
Be quiet.
He was never kind to me.
He seemed to be angry,
but not really angry.
Sometimes, he showed concern for me.
I see.
Do you think he's listening to me right now?
I think...
he will be.
Mr. Second Floor.
I'm sorry I said I didn't like you.
And thank you.
I feel bad for Dad,
but I wanted to tell you this that day.
Thank you for having me.
Where you are now,
I hope you confessed to Min Young and asked for forgiveness.
And that you never hurt anyone again.
(Osiris Hall)
It's Min Young.
It's Auntie Annie, not Auntie Min Young.
It's Min Young.
My Min Young.
Yes, Mom. I'm Min Young.
I'll be Min Young to your granny.
- Okay. - Hey.
You haven't seen Sol for a year, right?
We did have video calls,
but Sol, you look much better now.
I am. I don't have to skip PE anymore,
or worry about fevers.
Our Sol isn't sick anymore.
And she doesn't get injections.
That's right, Mom. I'm so pleased.
So now,
will Min Young live with me?
Mom, she can't live with us yet.
I can't stay too long because I'm here on business.
I'll visit again in the winter.
We should go on a trip together then.
- A trip? - For real?
Yes. Aunt Annie always keeps her word.
Yes, I'd love that.
Do we have one of everything for A Market?
Yes, sir. One of everything including the hot water mat.
I heard our mats are becoming popular abroad. It must be true.
A Market's head office is in the north where it's colder,
so they're more interested in the hot water mats.
That's right. Winter is long and cold over there.
The in-built mats were well-received,
so we have high expectations for the new products.
I trust you have something good for me.
It's just warm enough to want to lie on it.
Thank you, sir.
This product is popular with housewives in Korea because it's easy to wash.
It's nice and warm too, so great for gifts to the elderly.
- Is that true? - Yes.
You should try it...
in your hotel suite after having it washed.
Sounds good.
So this is WIDE's secret hangar.
Yes.
We do have factories in other regions,
but this is the most important facility.
It has top-of-the-line equipment that's very well-maintained.
I can tell at a glance.
Typical of WIDE.
You're truly WIDE's CEO now.
I owe all that to you.
I read your interview.
You do pro bono legal work...
and serve free seolleongtang on weekends.
I gain more from the people than I give out.
Helping others so we can all move on together.
Isn't that what a seolleongtang lawyer should do?
That improved WIDE's image so much,
your stocks are rising each day.
Oh. I heard Ham Sook Jin tried to kill herself once.
How is she now?
Tae Hyung's first death anniversary just passed.
It has been a year already.
Will you not say a word?
Does life without Tae Hyung really mean nothing to you?
Am I not a child to you?
If that's what you want to say, you can stop visiting.
Okay.
I'll stop trying.
I opened a flower shop.
Mr. Yang's dream...
was to open a flower shop and live with me.
I believe you once had a simple dream like that.
I'd like to hear about that on my next visit.
I sincerely hope so.
No. No one can stone me.
I regret nothing.
Even if I'm born again, I'll live for my son.
Welcome.
How are you?
Ji Hwan.
Mr. Yang took that photo.
I see.
I heard you're doing great.
Are you doing well?
Yes.
I clung to something that would never work for too long.
The past was all about my choices.
I hope you don't feel bad about it.
I feel great now.
Dad.
Yes, Sol.
You said you have an important appointment today.
You can't still be in bed.
Yes, right.
Right.
It's a really important day in your life and you're sleeping in?
You're right.
Don't sit there. Jump into the shower.
I'll pick out your outfit.
Thanks, Sol.
I love you.
Good luck, Dad.
Right. Let's do this!
You had too much cold food at once.
My old man infuriates me,
so I had a cup of ice-cold water.
From now on, even if you're angry, don't drink cold water suddenly.
I won't.
I'll give you two days' worth of meds. Come back if you're still sick.
Okay. Thank you, pretty doctor.
Thank you.
What ailment brought you here today?
Well, I don't exactly have an ailment.
Hello, Ju Hong.
I don't know.
About what?
Can I go back to you again...
as if nothing has happened?
- I actually... - That's what I should say.
I abandoned you twice.
When I brought Sol home,
and after I lost Mom again.
And you stayed by me to help to the very end.
- Still... - I think...
we took too long a detour to get here.
"If only you were here with me now."
"If only I had Ju Hong by my side."
I think so a dozen times a day.
Ju Hong.
Don't you think...
we deserve to be happy now?
I'd like to be.
If there were a moment that shines bright in my life,
it would be right now.
I got my family back and now Ju Hong as well.
To me, these are the most brilliant days of my life.
