(Episode 24)
Yes?
Hello?
Who is this?
- Tell me who you are! - Ji Hwan.
It's Mom.
Hello?
Who is this?
Who are you?
We should go to Jeju Island.
We should get on a plane and go to Jeju Island, Ji Hwan.
Mom?
- Hello? - Gosh, what are you doing?
Hello?
Don't you have anything to say to Candidate Nam Tae Hyung?
Why did you attack Candidate Nam?
- I want to call him. - Stop the nonsense.
I won't feed you if you do this again.
I need to pack.
We need to go to Jeju Island.
The phone is turned off.
Gosh.
Right.
Jin Ho. I'll send you a phone number.
Find out where it was from.
I'll go to the office right away.
Look into it quickly. Hurry!
Don't be too upset.
You did what you could do as his mother before you go.
If he thinks that you're dead,
at least your son will stop suffering, don't you think so?
Now he'll stop looking for you...
and live his life from now on.
You've done your work.
You should leave if you're going to say something like that.
He's a son who just lost his mother.
I can't believe that's what you're thinking.
Since you haven't lived long enough to learn about life,
you can't think further.
You think you are the only ones who are right.
I doubt that you understand my considerate intentions.
What did you lie about to my dad?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Mr. Yang who works for you came and threatened my dad...
and said many people could get hurt because of him.
What was that conversation about?
I have no idea.
I knew you wouldn't tell me about it.
Just don't forget that I'm protecting my dad.
Should I be threatened by that?
Nothing and nobody...
can harm my dad.
I hope you remember this.
You must be really busy...
siding with Woo Ji Hwan and protecting your father.
Do whatever you want to do with all your might.
It won't cause a stir anyway.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after...
Sol is at home with Mom.
Don't worry.
Why are you here?
Why are you not working on tracing the number?
My laptop got corrupted.
- Your laptop isn't working too. - What?
I think Nam Tae Hyung did this to get rid of the recording.
- I'm sure of it. - Goodness.
What about the program? You saved it somewhere else, right?
Yes. We can work on it with this laptop here.
The thing is... The phone is off,
so it's impossible to trace it.
Can you find out the last location just before it was turned off?
What's going on?
Goodness.
I know it's urgent, but how can you leave the funeral hall like this?
I think Mom is alive.
It was Mom.
The one who called me.
- What? - I'm sure.
It was really Mom.
Well...
I know you're going through a lot,
but this isn't right.
It could be someone with a similar voice.
She said she wanted to go to Jeju Island with me.
It was definitely her.
Others might not believe it,
but I know it was her.
Hello?
Hello? Is this Woo Ji Hwan's number?
Yes. This is Woo Ji Hwan.
Hello?
By any chance, are you with my mother?
Hello?
Not now, but I was with her for a while.
Really? When was that?
Are you sure you saw her?
I didn't just see her. She stayed at my place last month.
Last month?
Yes. She worked at my restaurant for a few days.
What about now?
No. Where are you calling from?
What's wrong with him? Is he sick?
It was me.
I did it.
Tae Hyung. Stop that and go to sleep.
Did something happen to him?
Why are you bothering me?
Get out.
What are you waiting for? Get out!
Tae Hyung hit Ji Hwan's mother with his car.
Mother knew about it from the beginning.
So, the thing is...
There was a patient who Ms. Ham told me to take care of.
That woman was Ji Hwan's mother?
What do I do?
What do I do now?
You missed the kid?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Is that how you work?
I told you to bring the kid no matter what!
Why did you turn off your phone?
I told you to get my call when I call you.
I didn't know it was out of battery.
I'm sorry.
Make sure this never happens again.
You should always be in touch with me, okay?
(CEO)
Yes, Ms. Ham.
Where's the kid?
I'll talk to you in person.
Don't make such a mistake again.
There's no second chance, okay?
- Yes, ma'am. - Leave.
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
I thought the call was from the kid, but it wasn't?
Then whose call was it that made him leave like that?
Hello. I'm Woo Ji Hwan.
We talked on the phone earlier.
I see. You came here so fast.
Right.
Is this the person you saw?
Yes. She's the one.
How did my mother get here?
Did she come alone? When was it?
Well...
Please tell me everything in detail from the beginning.
Actually, she was wearing a patient gown.
A patient gown?
Ma'am. What are you doing in my kitchen?
I'm hungry.
You must be crazy. Get out right now.
- No. - Goodness.
I'm good at this.
I washed dishes every day.
My mother...
did the dishes?
She said she'd wash dishes in exchange for food.
She was good at it too.
How long was she here for?
Do you know where she went?
Why are you home at this time of day?
Oh... I dropped by because I'd left something.
Are you headed back to work?
What? Oh, I have something to do...
Do that later. Come with me.
The chairman's going to the office today.
You didn't mention that before.
He's being sudden and unexpected.
You know, it's like...
"The secret inspector is here."
Right, sir?
I haven't seen Tae Hyung's office yet,
and now that my wound is healed up,
I'd like to see how things are going.
Actually, Grandpa...
Ji Hwan's mother...
What about the seolleongtang lawyer's mother?
She's dead.
What? No one had heard from her.
She came back a corpse, then?
What a fate.
The poor woman had a rough life.
Oh, dear.
What's going on?
That woman's dead?
When? Why?
What do you think you're doing?
You knew, didn't you?
That Ji Hwan's mother was alive!
Is this how you do your job? Get him out of here!
We apologize.
She was alive. How could you do this to her?
Keep your mouth shut. Must I send you to prison?
What's going on?
Father...
Shouldn't an office be quiet?
What brings you here?
- You two, get out. - Father.
Didn't you hear me?
(Patrol Division)
I'd heard she'd met her family at the Patrol Division.
But her flyer was left up for another month,
and I found that so weird.
That's why I called your number.
Excuse me.
The woman who caused a fuss at the diner.
- Yes. - Give me a moment.
That's it, Kim Jung Im. I remember her.
What about her? She disappeared again?
Well, no, it's not that.
Can you tell me who picked her up?
- What? - Some stuff happened...
and I lost touch with my mother.
She asked for her son that day. I guess that's why.
Can I see the camera footage from that day?
Our camera footage?
I am her son.
Please let me have a look.
We only keep that for a month, so it's gone now.
Can you not reach your father either?
My father?
That's who picked her up.
(Patrol Division)
(Park Chul Soo)
You shouted loud enough the whole hallway echoed.
What is it now? Did someone glue your lips?
Why won't you tell me what it was about?
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
I need to know what it's about if I'm to solve it for you.
Sang Gu.
I apologize, sir. I'd like to leave now.
He resigned,
but then came back asking for his job.
You don't have to mind him.
Why did you suddenly decide to come by?
Shouting echoed through the hall,
and then the CEO...
threatened to send an employee...
to prison after he resigned.
Do you see why I have no choice but to come by?
My goodness.
I'll check on Tae Hyung,
then head home.
Father. Tae Hyung's with a journalist.
You can tell me what it was about.
No, Ms. Nam.
I'm head of Marketing, but I'm also Ju Hong's friend.
You can talk to me.
I should go.
At any time, if you need my help,
call me.
(Doctor's appointment, 1:40 p.m.)
It's a match?
Can I give her part of my liver?
Yes. You don't have fatty liver,
you're not a hepatitis B carrier,
and the best thing is, you have a good-sized liver.
That's great. Thank you, doctor.
How is Sol?
She managed fine so far,
but since last year, she often had fevers and stomach aches.
Her liver index is dropping gradually.
But she'll be okay after a transplant?
Yes, of course. But if the donor isn't a family member,
you must prove no compensation is expected.
What if we're family? Can that be waived?
That would make things much easier.
Why did he assault you so badly?
I have no idea. Gosh.
Sorry.
Well... He said he'd talk to the media.
I wanted to hear why.
But then he just walked out, so I'm very disappointed.
I heard you let him off.
Some say you did that on purpose...
so you could look like a merciful politician.
Oh, if I'd thought only of my image,
I'd have done the complete opposite.
Seeing that he got punished as a way to eliminate violence.
Wouldn't that be the best impression...
a prosecutor-turned-politician could make?
Doesn't that mean...
it could happen again because you let him off?
Eventually, it's the good and virtuous that move the world.
That's what I believe.
This is why I want to get into politics.
I hope the decision I made this time...
will turn our society into a warmer,
better place to live.
- Turn off the TV. - That's what I want.
Okay.
Like I said before, Tae Hyung was one-sidedly...
Good. It's been a while...
since you impressed me.
That's what a politician should do.
Even if something worse than that were to happen,
a skilled politician who's able to turn that into a strength...
is a true politician.
Right. Okay.
Nothing in the world is for free.
Your face took a beating,
but you gained more, so that will do.
You're off to your study, Father?
Give him an ice pack to put on his face.
Don't let his handsome face fester.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
I thought he'd scold me for not acting properly.
What was that about?
I have no idea what the old man's thinking.
A random attack?
And it so happened that...
he attacked Tae Hyung?
A burner phone?
It does belong to someone named Park Chul Soo,
but I can't track it down.
I think there must be something with this phone.
Also, it's turned off.
Should I leave a text message?
No. It might only cause suspicion.
We need to find it in one go.
Ji Hwan. Tae Hyung did an interview on the news.
Come with me.
What? Is that true?
Where is she now?
I'm still looking for her.
We should report it to the police. Then they will find her.
- We can't do that. - Why not?
How are we going to find her without calling the police?
They've even fabricated my mom's DNA.
I don't know what they'll do if they see me looking for her.
Who are they?
You know who they are?
Who in the world would do that to her?
For now, to make them not know about this,
I'll finish the funeral tomorrow.
Only then I can find Mom safely.
Unbelievable. How can this happen?
Sol, let's eat.
She was doing her homework until just now.
Where did she go?
What's this?
It was here when I came last time.
How come all of them look so similar?
Shall I go that way this time?
Where did Ji Hwan go?
Because Sol is missing...
What do you mean Sol is missing? Wasn't she with you?
She was at Ju Hong's place,
but she left without telling Ms. Sim.
- What about her phone? - She's not answering it.
But thankfully, she left a note about where she was headed.
Ji Hwan and Ju Hong left frantically to get her.
Where did you come from?
I came from Iryu-dong.
Iryu-dong?
You came through this hard rain?
My aunt works here.
Her name is Woo Min Young.
It's been a while since she quit working here.
Your aunt doesn't work here anymore.
Then where's my aunt?
Where can I meet her?
Well, I don't know about that.
Her phone is off.
I thought I could meet her if I came here.
- Sol! - Dad!
Why did you come here?
Why would you come all the way here by yourself without telling me?
I wanted to see Auntie.
But she's not here either.
Don't cry, Sol.
I wanted to tell Auntie...
that we could find Grandma.
Where's Auntie?
I was going to tell her...
that we should wait for Grandma at home.
I know how you feel,
but you did wrong today.
So where's Auntie?
Are we going to see her?
I think she's asleep. She must be relaxed now.
I see.
She must have missed her so much to go there to see her.
I feel so sorry for her.
I think she has a fever.
Really?
Here. Can you check her temperature?
Okay.
It's 38.2°C.
We should go to the hospital.
Gosh, hold on.
(Mother)
I won't give up on Ji Hwan because of you, Mother.
The things you've done to Ji Hwan's mother.
I'm going to pay him back.
I'll make it up to him.
Ji Hwan.
How did you know we were here?
I heard about it from Jin Ho at the mortuary.
I see.
- It must be so hard for you. - Yes.
Here.
What's this?
(Test Result)
I've been getting checkups at the hospital for a while.
It says all my conditions are compatible with Sol.
What are you talking about?
But we can't do the transplant right away.
I have to become Sol's mother to do the transplant right away.
Tae Hee.
Let's get married, Ji Hwan.
Let's get married.
Tae Hee.
I'll give you what you want.
I can do anything for you.
(The Secret House)
No, stop!
- Did he say he will marry you? - Tae Hee?
- Nam Tae Hyung! - Please give support.
Judging from the scene, I'm sure you'll be elected.
This is what's interesting, Ji Hwan.
That phone's owner was in Iryu-gu.
His sister is gone, and his mother is gone too.
Woo Ji Hwan will be quiet from now on.
So it was around Iryu-gu all along?
Come on out, Ji Hwan! Mr. Yang is almost there!
Mr. Yang?
Mom?
