A hit-and-run, kidnapping, and confinement.
I wonder what the sentence will be for all these combined.
- Well? - What is this?
Did he find the recording?
What if...
someone who did all of them is about to become an assemblyman?
Even before deciding the sentence,
I'm sure he'll be socially taken down by people.
Why aren't you saying anything?
What's wrong? Is this...
about someone you know?
Answer.
I asked what it is you people did!
How dare you blackmail me?
Why are you even telling me such nonsense?
Can't you be a bit more honest?
Don't you want to find out what it is I know?
Isn't that why you're here?
Just how blinded can someone become?
I feel so sorry for you.
For that alone,
I really hope you find your mother soon.
Anyone who saw you would say you're not normal.
You have a lot to say which makes me think you're very anxious.
I don't know who did such a dreadful thing,
but if all that is true, that person should be punished.
To see that justice is served,
I really hope you look into it.
Yes. I'm going to do that.
I'm going to do that no matter what.
I will find my mother soon...
and show you what it's like...
to live with common sense.
Okay.
Woo Ji Hwan.
Do you have the recording with you?
Or are you messing around and making an assumption without it.
Hello. This is Nam Tae Hyung. Is Ms. Ham in?
What did he say?
How much did Woo Min Young hear about us?
Did she hear everything from the beginning?
About the car accident...
to you locking up her mother for nine years. She heard everything.
What's wrong?
So Woo Ji Hwan heard everything.
- What did you say? - Hit-and-run,
kidnapping, and confinement.
He knew everything when he poured out.
He knew everything, and he didn't try to hide it.
That means he'll take the bull by the horns.
That can't happen. We must stop him no matter what.
- Don't get worked up about it. - Are we going to sit and take it?
We need to distract Woo Ji Hwan first!
He became spiteful and nothing else is on his mind.
How can we do that?
He'll get distracted if it's about his mother.
You mean An Kyung Sun?
Kill her.
He needs to think that his mother is dead.
That's the only way to end this.
That punk won't give up before that.
He also needs to think that his mother is dead?
It should be done at once.
If anything goes wrong, both you and I...
will be doomed.
(Mom's Seolleongtang, Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan)
Was there anything else in her account?
There was nothing special.
There were a few more photos of Sol.
I won't let them get away with this.
I will make them pay for what they did no matter what.
What Mom went through, and what they did to you...
I'll get back at them,
so watch me from above, Min Young.
(Manager Nam Tae Hee)
Ms. Nam Tae Hee's appointment.
May 13, Friday at 3 p.m. Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Clinic.
Please check the ultrasound result.
Please.
It has to be suitable this time.
Anyone would want to go to the New York office.
Leave the marketing projects from next week.
Get prepared to take over the business of the New York office.
It will benefit you in terms of your career.
- Why are you not answering me? - I'm not going to the US.
Don't act up and do as I say.
I'm not giving up on Ji Hwan.
Why are you doing this?
Is he the only man left in this world or what?
You were never like this even when you were young.
Why are you doing this when you're 30 now?
You were never interested in whoever I met.
What?
You never cared about me even when I was young.
Why did you change all of a sudden?
Stop the nonsense and just do as I say.
No.
I won't do as you say.
You should give up this time.
Here.
By the way, Mr. Nam.
It's about the seolleongtang lawyer and Dr. Baek.
Don't they seem like they have feelings for each other?
I mean, Dr. Baek was...
Her eyes twinkled when she saw the lawyer.
It was as if they were stars.
My goodness. You must be upset.
You want Tae Hyung and Dr. Baek to be together.
Am I right?
Bring me some cold water.
Pardon?
Bring me some cold water with ice.
I know you're upset,
but cold water with ice isn't good for you.
Just bring it already.
Yes, Mr. Nam.
The tie we had in the past.
I didn't know it would last this long.
It's so strong.
It's even carried down.
How come it goes on like this?
What was carried down?
What is he talking about?
- Dad. - Sol.
Thank you for taking care of Sol.
Sol. You didn't bother them, right?
I was careful not to, but I'm not sure.
Oh, right. Mr. Baek bought me a mechanical pencil.
Really? Now go to the room and bring your bag.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Thank you.
Just know that we won't take care of her again.
Yes, sir.
I'm ready, Dad.
We'll get going now.
I'm home.
What? When did you come?
I just got here.
Gosh. Dad, Mom, Ji Hwan, and Sol.
All the people that I like are gathered together.
Sol. Why are you wearing your backpack? Are you leaving already?
Yes.
No, you can't go yet. I ordered fried chicken.
Fried chicken?
When you're in politics, golf is one of the basics.
- Yes, sir. - You need to meet businessmen,
- Right. - so let's practice beforehand.
Yes, sir. I'm relieved that you like this place.
Let's go then.
Okay.
Good shot!
Goodness.
- I'll try it then. - Okay.
There was a lead...
to my mom in Min Young's phone.
What?
Gosh. You were so stiff.
- Yes, sir. - Gosh.
You should get some golf lessons.
The first thing in both golf and politics is getting relaxed.
That's right, sir.
Nice!
Gosh, that was amazing.
Hit-and-run, kidnapping, and confinement.
He knew everything when he poured out.
My gosh.
Perhaps...
you're nervous as the election day is coming.
But you don't have to be.
We found out...
that the other candidate is involved in a school violence case.
- A school violence case? - Frankly speaking,
unless you're charged with a murder case,
you'll be elected no matter what.
Goodness. I can't even kill an ant, sir.
Don't worry about it.
That's why it's obvious that you'll be elected.
Nice!
Ji Hwan.
Where was that call from?
It was a call to the office, so I couldn't check the caller.
But it didn't seem like a prank, right?
Right. They said they were calling from Taebaek.
- Taebaek? - I think they run a business.
They hung up saying there was a customer.
I tried to keep them on the line but couldn't.
What about Nam Tae Hyung's credit card details?
I just looked it up.
Is something fishy?
In the afternoon of the day your mother went missing,
he used more than 1,000 dollars at the bar in Daehui Hotel.
At a hotel bar?
Are you saying he drove after drinking?
His car was scrapped the very next day.
He drove drunk, caused an accident,
and scrapped the car to cover it up.
You didn't have to come all the way here. Thank you, sir.
You're a party candidate with a bright future.
Of course I should bring you home.
You had just one drink, but alcohol is alcohol.
- Yes, sir. - You're right.
Drive drunk once and you could lose your job...
and even your life.
Who are you?
Hello, sir. I'm Woo Ji Hwan, a lawyer.
Tae Hyung's university friend.
Well done, Mr. Yang.
Make extra care not to mess up,
and do it as soon as everything's ready.
What was that stunt about?
Your party representative seems to want me to work for you.
Shall I?
Quit with the nonsense and get lost.
Where's my mom?
What?
You know where she is,
don't you?
Are you drunk?
Why are you asking me that?
Your drunk-driving accidents that your mother covered up for you.
There were quite a few.
Shall I go public before you even start campaigning?
Will you answer me then?
My gosh...
You call yourself a lawyer...
and you don't know what libel is?
Come on.
I know what libel is, which is why I'm gathering evidence.
Hey.
Your life's stuck in a rut,
so I get that you need to vent,
but you're after the wrong guy.
I had nothing to do with your mom.
Whether you did or not is for me to prove.
Answer while you have a chance.
Where's my mom?
What?
It's been nine years and you still think she's alive?
You're impressively resilient.
If you had done anything to my mom, I will kill you myself.
I'll show you how far I'll go.
You'd better take me seriously.
Have this, Mr. Baek.
You can eat it.
My dad told me that...
the best and tastiest things should be given to the elders.
What? Did your dad tell you to stand guard as they eat?
Why are you unkind to my dad?
Do you not like him?
Is it true you don't like him because of me?
Why would you say that?
My friend Han Byeol's mom said...
if my dad has a girlfriend,
her parents wouldn't like him because of me.
Who would say such nonsense?
A young woman should know better...
than to say such things to a kid.
The lightning will strike on me when Sol's gone.
For letting her stay.
Don't worry. There won't be any lightning.
You can walk into your room and close the door.
Can't you tell that Sol has been in there a while?
She and Dad are chatting.
You can't marry Ji Hwan.
I do feel bad for Sol but I still disapprove of Ji Hwan.
You won't be able to disapprove once you find out what Ji Hwan did.
I don't want to know,
and that won't happen, so dream on.
What's important is that...
Ji Hwan never dated anyone.
Just remember that I am his first and last love.
I know what libel is,
which is why I'm gathering evidence.
What are you up to, Ji Hwan?
It's you, isn't it? You're Sol's dad, aren't you?
What do you want?
You picked up.
Hang up if you have no point.
I'm not that bad a guy.
I had my reasons.
What does that have to do with me?
Don't be like this.
Let me off.
- Why should I? - You hate me.
I think you're mistaken.
You should've asked Min Young to let you off.
It's Sol you should be asking forgiveness for.
Ju Hong.
Don't irritate me when I'm barely holding back.
And I won't pick up again, so don't call.
"Let me off?"
How shameless can he be?
- Hello? - It's me.
Hello.
I called to ask if you're free tomorrow.
I have something to say.
Let's grab lunch together.
I have a lot to do tomorrow.
Then I'll come to you.
You must eat anyway.
Sorry. I have to stay in my office.
Is something wrong?
You seemed stressed out last time.
Just tell me what it is now.
No, it's something I must tell you in person.
Call when you're free.
Okay. Bye.
Ji Hwan.
Call me whenever you need my help.
And remember I'm there by your side.
Okay, I will. Bye.
Grandfather.
How about we send Tae Hee to the US?
Why would we send her to the US?
So she can experience and learn more when she's still young.
The company's always growing,
so we can't all stay nearsighted.
Three or four years abroad...
would do great for her career as well.
No, I can't let that happen.
You poached Mr. Yang from me.
Tae Hee acts like my secretary...
and comes to me in my study...
in the evening to fill me in on all sorts of things.
How am I to manage if you take away all my people?
If she leaves, who will fill me in on how the company's doing?
We can always hire another secretary.
I already made up my mind yesterday.
- Yesterday? - I thought...
I should ask Grandfather before making my decision.
We want to send her abroad for her sake, Grandfather.
I'll hire a replacement soon so that you're not too inconvenienced.
Let Tae Hee go abroad.
Is this in season right now?
It's so tasty since it's mixed with bean flour.
It's so savory.
Go to the US.
No.
I told you that Woo Ji Hwan is not acceptable.
Mind your own business.
I'll take care of mine.
Do you know what Woo Ji Hwan is doing to me?
I don't know. What is he doing to you?
Gosh.
What is it? Why can't you say anything?
Gosh. He got a big deal coming soon. What a sight!
Mom will talk to her. Go and get ready to go out.
Don't act up. I'll force you to go then.
How did you come up with that clever scheme?
You went to Father since you couldn't do as you wish by yourself?
I need to find ways to survive.
Going to the US is that way.
If you want to persuade me,
tell me what's going on with Ji Hwan.
Tell me about the person you hospitalized in Taebaek too.
If you keep on doing this,
I don't know what I will do to Woo Ji Hwan.
Let me tell you an example.
Do you know what I did nine years ago?
I bought the whole building...
where Woo Ji Hwan used to live and destroyed it.
I didn't want to see him hanging about your brother.
- Mother. - If that's what you want,
I will do such a thing again.
Just say it.
Gosh. When did you get here?
Did you sleep here?
Yes. I think I dozed off.
What about Sol?
She went home, took her bag, and went to school.
I took her to school and came here.
I'm sorry. I can't leave the office.
Don't be.
I slept with Sol in my room, got up together,
prepared to go to school, and took her to school.
We'll be doing this for the rest of our lives anyway.
I'm going to raise her well no matter what.
All right. Thank you.
I feel sorry for her because she's too mature for her age.
She carefully asked me about Min Young this morning.
It made me heartbroken.
I am...
going to make Sol the happiest second-grader in the world.
The happiest among the second-graders.
You can look forward to it.
Okay. I'll look forward to it.
By the way, was it really a call with information?
Did you get a call again?
No, not yet.
That person should understand that you're waiting for the call.
I hope you get a call soon.
Excuse me.
Detective?
He knew that I was driving drunk that day.
How does he know that?
I'm frustrated because I don't know how he found out about it.
About Mr. Yang...
We can trust him, right?
What are you talking about?
If it wasn't him who leaked about it,
how can Woo Ji Hwan know about it?
I'm sure it wasn't him.
Don't you know he's risking his life even at the moment?
Did you find a case that we can use?
You don't have to know about it. I'll take care of it.
Don't waste your energy on what's nothing...
and focus on your campaign.
What...
What did you say?
We found your mother's body.
No. It can't be.
Please check again.
- Ji Hwan. - No.
I confirmed that she was alive until a while ago.
There were people who saw Mom.
How can this happen?
How can this happen to her?
No. Something must be wrong.
It can't be.
Detective. Please check again.
This can't be happening.
I was about to find her. How can this happen to her?
He can't find her.
He can't do anything.
(The Secret House)
I'm telling you not to forget that our relationship is based on a contract.
Did you even change her name?
Are you insane?
Are you guys out of your minds?
It can't be.
What do you mean?
Really? Are you sure?
I'll find out how my mom died.
In the end,
I'll reveal that you're behind all this.
Until you become the man at the top of Korea,
I won't back off no matter who comes in front of me.
You killed my mom, right?
What nonsense?
I will end you myself.
You won't leave this place alive.
