If I were to give this to Ji Hwan, what would happen then?
If Ji Hwan were to get his hands on this,
could you and Tae Hyung both get away with what you did?
Nam Tae Hee.
Don't get worked up. It's not my coat.
When you dragged drunk Tae Hyung home,
you were wearing this.
I remember it clearly.
What's wrong with him? Is he sick?
I hit her.
I did it.
Stop talking and go to sleep. Okay?
Did Tae Hyung do something?
Why are you being such a nuisance?
Get out. Get out now.
Now, do you remember?
Not at all.
You brought in something that should be in the trash...
just to talk nonsense?
Give me that.
You burned it yourself in the backyard.
Do you still not remember?
What do you think you're doing with a stupid coat?
You barely got over a huge hurdle.
I'm asking if I can expose something way bigger the day before the election.
Will you push your son off a cliff,
or will you save him?
Just to marry Ji Hwan,
you'll blackmail your mother and brother?
Are you begging for love?
You never intended to let this marriage happen.
Of course I didn't!
That's why I must've kept this. For a day like this.
You need to be taught a lesson.
Watch what you say. You have no right to talk like that.
- What? - You're Sol's dad.
I know that too.
How dare you speak such nonsense?
I'll do as you say. It's your call.
Shall I give this coat to Ji Hwan?
You asked to see me?
I convinced my mom and brother.
They just agreed to let us get married.
Is that true?
Is what Tae Hee said true?
Yes, it is.
- Mother. - But not yet. Not right now.
Then I will recant what I said at today's press conference.
Have you been lied to your whole life? You can get married later!
I'm sorry but I don't have the time or patience to wait any longer.
I want an answer right now.
(Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan, Mom's Seolleongtang)
I'll do as you say. It's your call.
Shall I give this coat to Ji Hwan?
What coat does she want to give me?
What if I have proof?
If I offer to give it to you,
will you accept me?
The proof she had is...
Yes, but were there any other signs?
I don't know.
Before the fire alarm went off,
did you get a strange call or see someone suspicious?
Did you?
If so, I'd have been extra careful.
I found out someone had set off the fire alarm much later.
So someone triggered the fire alarm on purpose?
Is something wrong?
Is something on your mind?
No, it's not that.
Someone disappeared and ended up dying.
I'm just asking if anything suspicious happened that day.
Take care, then.
Wait.
When I first opened this diner,
I couldn't have done it without you.
I won't forget what you did for me.
Why would you suddenly say that?
It's in the past.
I'm sorry about the other day.
I don't know if you'll believe me,
but it was for Ju Hong's sake.
Please look after her.
We'll take good care of her without you having to say that.
You get on with your own life.
You should, for your mom's sake.
It's good that they broke up.
Ju Hong will come to her senses once she gets back on track.
They won't cross paths again, so it's for the best. It is.
Let me ask you something.
Why did Ji Hwan change so suddenly?
- Ji Hwan's mother... - I heard about that.
I do feel sorry for him, but what about that?
Did you wrong Ji Hwan in a way that involves...
the disappearance of his mother?
- It's not like that. - Then what is it?
Why is Ji Hwan doing this?
Please object to his marriage without asking any more questions.
This is all I can tell you.
How could I tell you...
such an incredible secret?
Please stop Ji Hwan for me.
You broke Ju Hong's heart and you're saying it's for her sake?
Are you teasing everyone?
What do you want to say?
What would I want to say?
I'm just worried about you.
What should I do, then?
Tell me.
What should I do?
Go on like this without doing anything?
Min Young's gone and now so is Mom.
Should I go on with my life...
hoping the heavens will compensate me for what happened?
That's not what I mean.
Don't waste your breath.
Whatever people say,
I won't change my mind.
I'm worried you'll lose yourself.
Nothing's more important than your own self.
Don't throw away your whole life to do this.
That's what I ask.
Gosh...
Is Ji Hwan really going to marry Tae Hee?
I objected to you dating him,
but this isn't right either.
How could he betray you like this?
You know what we did for him over the years.
Are you all right?
I'm not all right.
I'm not okay.
Why would you cry for a fool like him?
Right now,
It hurts so much here.
It hurts, Mom.
You weren't meant to be.
It's best to be done with a fool who left you so easily.
He's not doing it because he wants to.
I know what's going on.
Do you still want to defend him?
Why do you keep crying for a punk who left you?
He's telling the whole world who he's engaged to.
Stop crying and eat your food.
Eat, gain some energy, and hate him forever.
He's such a jerk.
What about Sol, then?
Do you think about her?
Are you thinking about her?
I'm sorry, Sol.
I'm about to put you through a lot.
Sol.
I'm so very sorry.
If you let me marry Ji Hwan without any trouble,
I will give this coat back to you.
She's a psycho.
Then I will recant what I said at today's press conference.
He insists on beating me, does he?
Mr. Nam's back after the campaign.
Okay.
Oh, right.
About Tae Hee.
(National Harmony Party, Nam Tae Hyung)
You did really well, sir.
The constituents seemed to react positively.
What do our polls say?
It's still a close race,
but I think you'll win.
Good job. You can go home.
I'll take you home first.
No, not today. you can go.
Bye, sir.
I was so much more ahead yesterday.
Darn Ji Hwan.
You campaigned your heart out.
The articles and bloggers are doing their job. It looks good.
It's still close.
Don't worry. It'll all be fine.
It doesn't look good.
I could lose and Tae Hee could marry Ji Hwan.
The worst could still happen.
Wait just one more day.
They'll be done for once the election's over.
Everyone's watching us because of what's been happening.
We can't send them away now.
The one who is more desperate usually gets what they want.
Ji Hwan? He doesn't stand a chance.
Sir, you should wear this today.
Reporters will be there to photograph you and Mr. Nam...
put your votes in the ballot box.
Shall I, then?
- How do you feel? - I feel good.
He worked harder than anyone. He'll get what he wants.
Yes, he'd better.
Sir, wait just a moment.
Be sure to smile brightly for the cameras.
That's all we'll have to look back on.
Smile.
He seems to have high hopes, doesn't he?
I do too.
I really wish you would get elected.
I hope this becomes a day neither of us can forget.
I should just...
Let her do what she wants.
She won't get to do that much longer.
(The 22nd Election of National Assembly Members)
(Nam Tae Hyung, National Harmony Party)
(Ballot Box)
They're counting the votes.
They think Nam Tae Hyung will win.
They do?
Good.
How is that good?
That punk should fail miserably.
Let's see how Iryu-gu voted.
It was a close race to the very end,
and Nam Tae Hyung is confirmed to win.
Oh, my gosh.
They confirmed he won.
Nam Tae Hyung!
Father.
Tae Hyung's an assemblyman.
He did it, Father.
- He did it. - Nam Tae Hyung!
Wait.
Candidate Nam's... No.
Assemblyman Nam's interview is on.
I'll do my best to be a good politician.
I'll work for my constituents.
I'll work hard. Watch over me.
Thank you.
- Nam Tae Hyung! - Nam Tae Hyung!
- Thank you. - Nam Tae Hyung!
- Nam Tae Hyung!
Yes.
Do not weaken and keep laughing as you are now.
The good times...
will end soon.
What do you want?
You called me.
I know.
You're right before me...
and for once I'm lost for words.
I'm here to bother you again.
To ask if you can't change your mind.
Do you have no intention at all of going back?
I rather wish...
you actually love Tae Hee.
Because then, even if it hurts me to death,
I think I can let you go.
If that would help, think of it that way.
Pretend I love Tae Hee.
- Ji Hwan. - Go home.
If that's all you have to say.
I hate you so much,
so why can't I just hate you?
You must be having a terrible time.
Go away.
I'll be right here.
I'll wait for you here.
So don't forget I'm here.
Remember that.
Baek Ju Hong.
Did you say farewell to Ji Hwan?
- "Farewell?" - Yes, farewell.
We will become husband and wife tomorrow.
And I'd like you to be our witness.
- What? - We're getting a license first.
Instead of wasting time on an engagement and wedding,
we decided to register as a couple.
I guess Ji Hwan just can't wait.
You're not happy at all.
If you truly were, you wouldn't have to say this to me.
What do you know to speak like that?
I'm just concerned.
You're doing this to yourself,
and I'm sincerely concerned...
you'll have a rough time.
Don't change the subject.
Will you be our witness or not?
I'd really like it if you'd say yes.
We're getting a license first.
How could he do this to me?
He said he wouldn't leave me.
Don't let go of me again.
I'll make you pay if you go to someone else.
Okay, I won't.
That will never happen.
I hope you don't have a rough time.
I'm more worried about that.
It's so hard.
It's too hard, Ji Hwan.
Ju Hong, please...
Forget about me.
The car's not working?
I had trouble starting the engine this morning,
so I sent it in for repairs.
It was fine until yesterday.
I'll drive you to work today.
What about Mother?
She's attending the disbanding ceremony of Mr. Nam's campaign team.
Let's go to the ward office first.
Okay.
(Nam Tae Hee)
Where are we going?
Don't you hear me?
Mr. Yang.
Give me my phone.
- I'm sorry. - What...
Did Mother put you up to this?
Stop the car!
You're the ones who drove me this far.
She had something important planned for today.
What a pity.
- Hi. - Mother.
Congratulations, Assemblyman Nam.
You did so much.
Not at all.
I didn't sleep a wink last night and I'm not tired at all.
Here's the certificate.
Let's see it.
"Certificate of election."
"At the 22nd Assemblyman Election..."
"held on May 27, 2022,"
"you were voted as Iryu-gu, Seoul's assemblyman."
"Congratulations."
I don't believe it.
I'm so pleased, Tae Hyung.
What'll you do about Tae Hee?
Don't worry. I took care of her.
What exactly did you do?
You don't have to worry about things like that.
You must have lots of people to thank. Get ready.
I said don't worry.
You know we're celebrating this evening, don't you?
The phone is turned off. Please...
Jin Ho. I can't reach Tae Hee.
Track down Ham Sook Jin and Yang Man Soo.
Okay, be quick.
I hoped...
you'd become an assemblyman.
Your son Tae Hyung did that for me.
You died too soon...
and didn't get to see this day.
Father, come on out.
- Take a seat, Grandfather. - I will.
Why isn't Tae Hee with us?
I sent her on a business trip.
It'll take her at least two weeks...
to visit all our stores.
You shouldn't work her too hard.
I won't.
Father, this champagne is something...
the British royal family only serves special guests.
Is it? Let's have a taste of it.
- You must. Open it. - Okay.
You must remember that what you do now is even more important.
Do what your father couldn't...
and lift the Nam family name high.
Yes, sir.
I'll open the bottle, then.
Just a moment.
You won't leave me out, will you?
- Go ahead. - Okay.
Thank you for raising me.
Let's drink.
- Grandfather and Mom. - Thanks.
Oh, goodness. Who's this?
I'm here to greet you as your grandson-in-law.
Brace yourself.
From now on,
I will drag you all into a fiery pit.
(The Secret House)
What? She did what?
- Ms. Nam! - Tae Hee. Are you insane?
Oh, dear. Sit down, sir.
Before I go and do it regardless of the consequences,
accept Ji Hwan.
We might not be able to stop Ji Hwan from barging in.
So we should create a cause to get rid of Ji Hwan?
Sol, will you stop giving me a hard time?
You give me a hard time.
Why do you say I give you a hard time?
I don't like it. You can ask me a hundred times,
and I still won't like it.
