(Episode 63)
If the result...
was for Tae Hyung's and the chairman's...
Yes?
He wouldn't have burned a report that said they're a match.
You're right.
That's an obvious and natural result, so he wouldn't have needed to burn it.
Then what is it?
I think the chairman...
has another grandson.
What do you mean?
The chairman has another grandson and Tae Hyung found out about it.
Another grandson?
Yes. I must find him.
Do you even know who it is?
Tae Hyung burned the results.
It's like looking for a needle on a beach.
First,
I must find out who Tae Hyung's father is.
Tae Hyung's father?
Didn't he die long ago?
Yes. I heard he died...
before Tae Hee was born.
If he died that long ago,
we must assume there won't be any online records.
Don't you think you can find records...
from when he was in school?
Yes, that should be possible.
For now, see if you can find Chairman Nam's son's...
classmates or close acquaintances.
Okay. I'll find out as soon as possible.
If we find this out, it might be huge.
Tae Hyung and Ham Sook Jin will lose their minds.
That punk Tae Hyung.
He's the worst in the world.
He got so much from his grandfather,
and he's ruining someone else's life.
I'm not joking.
I'd been thinking for a long time about getting Sol back.
I told you not to treat her like an object.
When did I treat her like an object? I didn't.
"I'm thinking of giving her the girl." Isn't that what you said?
I said that to get the message across.
Even so.
What do you want me to do, then?
Not claim Sol?
Why are you suddenly doing this?
Talking about Sol. Do you really want to be her dad?
- Obviously... - Don't do anything if you don't.
Why won't you let me do anything?
I am her biological father.
Don't use her as a pawn in your fight.
If you want to use me as an excuse, that's more of a reason to give up.
Why? Because of Ji Hwan?
Is it because you don't want to take Sol from him?
Because you don't want to harass him.
How can you say that?
- If it's not that, say so. - It's not that.
I think only of Sol.
None of us has the right to decide what happens to her.
What if I still insist on claiming her?
Then...
give her part of your liver.
- What? - If you do that,
I'll believe you're serious.
Why are you suddenly doing this?
Do you really want to be her dad?
As if I do.
I need to stop Ji Hwan...
and the kid is the only thing I can use.
I thought about it. What I saw that day...
was part of a DNA test result.
The thing you burned in the yard that day.
I didn't see the whole thing, but I did see a few words.
"It's a match." I definitely saw that.
Quit wasting your energy and look after your daughter.
If you keep talking about that DNA test,
I might actually take her from you.
Where's your dad?
At his office.
I see.
What are all these books?
Ju Hong bought them for me and I want to read them again.
I'll read this one.
If you need books, ask me to buy you more.
- What? - Why read what you already read?
Because they're fun.
I'll buy you some new ones. Let's throw these away.
I'll fill this whole room with new books. Okay?
You don't have to. I like these.
The complete series of world literature...
and a set of books for young readers. I'll buy them all for you.
No.
I will keep these books.
Why are you refusing?
Why do you say no to everything I suggest?
Why do you always say you like what Ju Hong got you?
What are you doing?
Dad!
No, it's not what you think.
I don't want to throw away those books.
Okay, Sol. You don't have to. It's fine.
Let's talk.
She said she'd read them once already,
so I just wanted to buy her a new set.
I didn't mean to yell from the start. I promise.
I'm very grateful that you decided to be Sol's donor,
but don't expect anything from her in return.
If anyone should repay you, it should be me, not her.
How long must I wait, then?
You haven't budged and neither has Sol.
How long must I wait for you to care for me?
Sol's always talking about Ju Hong!
She's still young. I said she needs time!
She still likes Ju Hong.
She likes her unconditionally not knowing what she's really like.
Let's not talk about her.
No. You need to hear this.
Do you know what happened today?
Tae Hyung said he'd take Sol to give Ju Hong...
and she stood there and said nothing.
How can she act like she cares for Sol and does that?
Did Tae Hyung really say he'd take Sol?
We can fight him for her.
To do that, we must work together.
I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.
If I'm to donate as soon as the papers are cleared,
I need to get tested thoroughly and I'd booked the procedure.
Let's go to Jeju Island before the surgery.
Let's look around our property...
I'm sorry. Let's discuss this later.
What are you thinking?
You acted like a coward to keep Sol a secret.
What right do you have to do this now?
You heard about it already?
What? Do you not fear anything now that you quit politics?
Who quit politics?
Everything going on in this house is politics.
Don't even dream of it. You can't take Sol.
We'll see if it's a dream or not.
Knowing I must donate part of my liver...
is a deterrent of sorts.
What?
Only when I'm ready to donate my liver...
am I allowed to claim Sol is what Ju Hong said.
My clever wife is of the opinion that only a man who's willing...
to donate his liver has the right to be a dad.
What? Who will donate to whom?
Mother.
That darn brat.
Mother.
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me and look after yourself.
Promise to eat well and sleep well.
For Dad's sake and mine.
Okay?
Let's talk again soon. I'll call.
Mother!
Who must give a liver to whom?
What did you tell my son to do?
Ju Hong never told me to do anything.
Don't jump to conclusions.
Is this why you married my son?
To use Tae Hyung to save Ji Hwan's daughter.
You don't know your son at all.
- What? - Do you think...
your son is capable of allowing himself to get cut open to donate an organ?
How dare you...
That's not how you raised him.
Ju Hong.
What are you so worried about?
The son you raised to do as you say...
will live a great life focusing only on himself.
If you dare try to manipulate him again,
it won't end with a slap on the cheek.
What an idiot.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
You've only done as your mother said,
and if you decided to give your liver, it would mean you're serious.
I said that...
because that's the man I'd like my husband to be.
I wish to make a statement regarding the accident that happened...
on the roof of Samgyung Mall at 5:25 p.m. on June 27, 2022...
which led to the death of Baek Sang Gu.
That day, I did not deliberately push Baek Sang Gu,
but I deeply regret...
not helping him or calling for help immediately after the fact.
I feel responsible,
and submit this statement, written out much too late.
July 8, 2022,
Yang Man Soo.
Murderer.
Nam Tae Hee, you are my dad's murderer!
However hard you try to get me, you never will be able to.
I will never lose Ji Hwan to you.
You have a hospital appointment tomorrow.
Be there on time.
Don't worry, Min Young.
Whatever happens, I won't let Sol get hurt.
I won't let that happen.
What? Are you going out too, Dr. Baek?
Yes. I have some administrative stuff to take care of at the hospital.
You start back there tomorrow, right?
Yes. You don't look too good, sir.
He's been under a lot of stress.
He pulled a few muscles to his side.
Does it hurt? Shall I take you to a doctor?
No, it's not that bad.
I have a medical device in mind.
I'll take him to see it today.
I'll drop you off at the hospital. Let's go.
No, I can take a bus.
It's a long walk to the main road.
Come with me.
He wants to help you out.
Give in and tag along.
Let's go.
I wish you good health.
- Thanks. I wish you well. - Thank you. Bye.
(Health Bell Story)
Hello. How were you last night?
You don't have to check on me every day.
I promised Ju Hong...
I'd show you my face at least once a day.
You don't have to. You must be busy enough.
Did you not go home last night?
The lights were on early this morning.
I'm looking for a place but the dates clash.
I'm staying there until I can move.
Are you? It won't be cold, but it must be uncomfortable.
I don't mind that.
By the way, do you know Chairman Nam's son?
- Who? - Nam Heung Sik's son.
I wonder if you used to know him.
I didn't. We didn't exactly move in the same circles.
He wasn't the kind of person I'd cross paths with.
I see.
Why do you want to know about him?
- Hello. - Hello.
Sir, this is the one.
It will massage out all your tight muscles...
and improve blood circulation.
Really?
- Right? - Yes, that's right.
A good night's sleep on a warm bed...
is great, they say.
Would you like to try it out?
Would you, sir?
Shall I lie down on it, then?
Yes.
- Slide slightly further down. - Okay.
How do you feel? Do you feel more relaxed?
It felt like all my muscles were angry,
but that melted away.
You enjoy it, then.
I do like it.
Take good care of yourself...
and live long enough to make up for the years your son didn't get to live.
His name was Nam Chan Woo.
He died really suddenly...
six months before Tae Hee was born.
Was it a heart attack?
That's what most people think it was,
but some who knew him better say he took his own life.
He didn't have many friends,
so it might be harder than I thought to find out about him.
I even asked Ms. Sim, just in case,
and she doesn't know anything.
That leaves the person who worked for that family the longest.
Yang Man Soo?
Wouldn't it be too risky to go to him?
See what you can find out from the neighbors.
Call as soon as you have something.
Okay.
If he came here during his lunch break,
did he skip lunch?
He can't even eat on time because of that jerk Tae Hyung?
Take this, ma'am.
What is this?
This building you rent a store in.
I bought it today.
Are you saying I have a new landlord?
Yes. I know you did business here for a long time.
I feel bad to have to send you off like this, so that's compensation.
You want me to leave? To move out?
Tell me when you find a place you'd like to move to.
I'll cover the moving expenses.
I'd been thinking about...
closing the shop and moving back to my hometown.
Were you? That's even better, then.
If you were planning to close down and retire,
how about I find you a house in your hometown?
- A house? - Just say when.
I'll have it ready for you at any time.
You don't have to buy me a house.
I'm doing this because you remind me of my late grandma.
Don't worry.
Don't feel bad, okay?
Okay, then.
Good.
What are you doing here?
The chairman must've felt bad that he bought land only for Ms. Nam.
He said he wanted to drop by to see Director Nam.
He stabbed us in the back...
and now he wants to make amends?
So, let's skip to another topic.
Not long ago, I found out a very important fact.
What should I do with it?
What do you mean?
Until now, you had too much on your mind...
with Director Nam's marriage...
and the sibling rivalry, and that wore you thin,
so I'd been keeping it to myself.
So? What is it you want to say?
(CEO Ham Sook Jin)
The drunken hit-and-run from nine years ago.
The person who actually hit the seolleongtang lawyer that night...
was Director Nam.
Yoo Kwang Mi.
How could I not find out when Dr. Baek...
barged in and screamed about it?
I was bound to, wasn't I?
Keep your mouth shut.
Anyway, your love for your son knows no bounds.
You made me think so far that you'd caused the accident.
It's in the past.
No, it's still part of the present.
The seolleongtang lawyer is alive and well.
One word from me could turn the tables.
Don't say it's in the past.
What is it you really want to say?
I said all I wanted to say.
There's something I want.
You want something?
Yes.
What is it?
Everyone's working away from the office?
Yes, but the director will be back soon, sir.
- Okay. - Why not sit and wait?
Sure.
Can I have a glass of cold juice?
- I'll get you a glass now. - Thanks.
(Management and Planning Director Nam Tae Hyung)
Sir.
Hello. You must be busy.
I hadn't heard you'd come by today.
It's not a planned visit.
I see. Are you here to see the director?
Yes.
I wonder if he knows how I feel.
He might feel hurt now, but he'll come around soon.
You care for him so much.
I wish he'd act like the older sibling he is...
and be nicer to his sister.
He's my eldest grandchild and heir.
Why wouldn't I...
leave him a good chunk of my estate?
Even this morning,
he didn't say goodbye.
If you knew the grandson you care so much for...
was hiding another grandson from you to ensure he gets a bigger share,
how would you feel?
Would you still care the same about him then?
What?
I'd like you to...
give me a little something to guarantee I can retire in comfort.
I think becoming the wife of WIDE's honorary chairman would work.
Are you saying you'll become my mother-in-law?
Would I give you a hard time?
- Hey! - I did pick up...
some tips on how you treat Dr. Baek,
but I won't treat you the same way.
You don't have to worry about that.
I'm surprised you decided not to go to the US,
but I'm so glad you're back.
Thanks for the welcome.
Your sudden marriage caught us by surprise.
I know. Stuff happened.
Will you start your first shift tomorrow?
Yes.
To celebrate my comeback, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow.
I'd love that.
Yes.
That woman...
Yes, of course she paid up.
She's either naive or stupid. I gave her a nudge...
and she trembled and paid me more.
She and Tae Hee were definitely up to something.
Okay, I'll be in touch.
Bye.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
- Number 321. - Here.
Did you take off your accessories and anything metal?
Yes, I did.
Please confirm your name.
Nam Tae Hee.
Ms. Nam, come with me.
Okay.
Hello.
Fourth floor.
Within a week?
Yes. I need to rush to get the interior redone.
Help me out.
I can't do that. There's so much to pack.
I'll send a team to help you pack.
You even gave me cash.
Should I ask that much from you?
Of course you can. Don't worry about anything.
Just promise not to tell anyone about this.
If other store owners from other malls find out, I'll get in trouble.
Okay. I won't tell a soul.
Thank you so much.
She will disappear to her hometown,
so there's no way Ji Hwan...
will hear about anything from her.
You can't keep calling me over.
What is it now?
I'll ask you point blank.
Tae Hyung's father Nam Chan Woo.
Was he engaged to someone before he met Ms. Ham?
Tell me what you know.
Other than Ms. Ham,
was there a woman he was close to?
Who is that woman?
Why are you asking about my dad?
Tell me. Who are you to ask about him?
Don't you know the reason?
What?
The man you're trying so hard to hide.
That man.
I'm looking for him.
(The Secret House)
Work hard and fast, Tae Hyung.
I wonder how long you can keep the secret.
Hi, Jin Ho.
I found a friend of Nam Chan Woo's.
That's why you get stuck, Ju Hong.
Your resolve weakens at the worst time, putting on the brakes.
- What is Sol's date of birth? - Why do you care?
I'm filling in a certificate...
- of acknowledgement. - What?
I gave you a deadline, Tae Hee. What a pity.
What are you talking about?
This is the stand-in Tae Hee hired to donate a liver...
to Sol in her place.
A stand-in? What is that about?
