(Episode 70)
Since our only daughter drowned in the river,
my wife was greatly depressed.
She's stopped talking,
but she regained her speech since we found Ji Sook.
So I kept saying one more day, we'll keep her just one more day,
and days turned to months.
Where did you find my mother?
I searched Wupyeong for over a week.
We live a village over from Wupyeong.
I'd left a net where the sea...
flows into a nearby lake,
and I found her washed up in it.
I managed to bring her home somehow,
and she begged us not to call the police.
She said she didn't like getting the injections,
and that someone tried to push her from a height.
But about ten days ago,
she started to chant your address.
Whenever she saw a similar house on TV,
she'd call it Chan Woo's.
There's no way my mother knows this address.
Don't you think we've heard enough?
Does the whole family have to listen to how your mom came back alive?
Chan Woo.
Yes, I'm here, Mom.
I'll stay right next to you, so relax.
Don't worry about anything.
Goodbye, then.
Thank you so much for bringing my mom back safely.
Not at all.
I had no idea you were waiting for her return.
I apologize.
- You can go back indoors. - I will. Goodbye.
Bye.
Oh, wait.
Take this.
When I fished her out of the water,
she had that in her jacket pocket.
This is...
She had no ID or personal items,
but she had that in her pocket.
I thought it must be important.
- Bye, then. - Goodbye.
An Kyung Sun. Forget it all. Don't remember anything.
Then you'll live.
That's how you'll stay alive and so will I.
I missed you, Grandma.
I was worried I'd never see you again.
Have some cold juice, Mother.
You can call her "Mother" that easily?
She's Ji Hwan's mother and my mother-in-law.
Drink the juice.
Mom.
What are you doing? Get her out of here now!
It's okay, Mom. It's fine.
Chan Woo.
Can you not say that?
Where did you hear that name? Why do you call him that?
Don't yell at my mother.
Then take her out of here.
No.
This is where I live. Where could I take her to?
She has no reason to be banished somewhere else.
Then what? Are you saying...
you'll keep her in my house?
Yes. Living here made me realize...
the house where the chairman lives is safer than any place on earth.
So that no one can touch my mom again,
I will look after her right here.
You're leeching off us yourself.
How dare you say you'll bring her in?
Stop being irrational and get her out of here.
Not just your mom.
Take the whole family with you!
Mother.
Ma'am!
Did you call me?
Open all the windows and air the house.
Wipe the spilled juice,
vacuum out the footprints and clean the living room!
Get ready for work.
You heard me! Go upstairs!
How did she survive?
Why did she survive?
How did she know...
She doesn't remember that day, does she?
End it. Just do it already!
Take care of it for good!
- Mom! Where are you? - Darn it.
Mom!
No, it can't be.
She seemed to have forgotten it all.
Why right now?
Grandpa...
The day he finds out who Ji Hwan is...
Are you okay?
Yes. Why?
You look so pale.
A dead person came back alive. How could I not be surprised?
Right.
You have a point. I thought she was dead too.
To think that she survived. Ms. An's really tough.
Whatever comes our way, the living are meant to go on.
Ms. An doesn't seem to be doing too badly. It's such a relief.
She managed to find her way here.
I hope she remembers what happened to her in Wupyeong.
Don't you?
Yes, I guess.
An Kyung Sun.
If she managed to survive, she should've lied low.
How dare she come here?
How does someone with severe dementia...
find where we live...
when she never lived here?
And she keeps mentioning Chan Woo.
Did she know Chan Woo?
What is this about?
Did you really not know?
That Ji Hwan's mom was alive.
Did you know or not?
You were there with me that day.
So you didn't know?
How can I believe you?
Make everything right.
What does that mean?
Don't you get it?
Yes.
Just what you're thinking.
Be on standby until I give the word.
The chairman knows she's alive.
It's too risky for you to do anything now.
Why would it be risky for me?
I won't be doing anything.
Mr. Yang.
You will.
Despite what he said, it'll be a matter of time before he leaves.
Now that his mom's back alive,
he has no reason to live here.
He married me to find his mother's killer.
What if he leaves me?
If he moves out...
If that woman recognizes me,
the chairman will kick me out before I have a chance to seduce him.
But I have no excuse to skip work,
and I can't give up on marrying the chairman.
What should I do?
You don't even want any tea?
Should I check your blood pressure?
I'm fine, so leave me alone.
The seolleongtang lawyer's mom.
Did you know her?
What I mean to ask is,
that the flyer that was put up when she went missing...
said she had dementia...
and we thought she'd be hard to locate.
So how did someone like her remember this place,
and even mention your late son's name...
Enough.
You're getting on my nerves. Get out.
Let me ask you just one more thing.
Will you let her stay?
I have something to say, Grandpa.
This is you, Dad, and Auntie.
I'm Sol, his daughter,
and we even had jajangmyeon together.
I have a photo from that day.
Mom.
Drink some water.
Okay.
It's tasty.
It must've been hard to find your way back.
Thank you, Mom.
I thought I was done for,
but you came back to me.
You fought death to come back.
You came to me.
I'll never let go of this hand.
I'll hold onto it tight.
Will she stay with us now, Dad?
Yes, she will. We will never part again.
- For real? - Yes.
She'll stay close to you, Sol.
She won't go anywhere.
What?
I want you to let Ji Hwan's mother stay with us.
I can't allow that.
Don't say no right away.
Consider it first.
However long I think about it,
it's just not acceptable.
- Grandpa. - Ji Hwan...
turned our home upside-down.
Letting his mother stay is out of the question.
You didn't even check if it really was Ji Hwan who called the reporter.
Are you saying your brother lied?
I'm saying it wasn't Ji Hwan.
You would...
put Ji Hwan before your brother.
That's not why.
Even if Dad had another son,
how would that affect Ji Hwan?
But it's different for Tae Hyung.
If Dad's other son were to appear,
his footing would be threatened, so naturally, he'd want to stop it.
We grew up together...
and he's wary of me too.
Forget the misunderstanding with Ji Hwan...
and let his mother stay with us.
Help them so that Mom can't throw her out.
Please, Grandpa.
Is that true?
Yes, Ji Hwan just called.
He'll bring her over for seolleongtang later.
You're not kidding me, are you?
I'm not. How could I kid you about something like that?
Well, yes, that's true, but...
How am I to believe something this crazy?
It would make sense if she were sane but she's not.
I know.
The heavens helped her.
She may look frail,
but Kyung Sun's a really tough woman.
I'm so glad all Ji Hwan's efforts counted for something.
Yes. I'm so relieved too.
I don't think I can work...
until I see Kyung Sun for myself.
Why didn't Ju Hong call if she heard the news?
They were all out of it this morning.
They would be. A woman they thought was dead showed up.
They must've been shocked.
(Seohyun University Hospital)
I haven't seen her in a long time.
To figure out if and how her condition has changed,
we must run all the tests again.
- Okay. - It's good to see how...
she still can manage to function in her daily life.
I heard that recently, she helped...
an elderly couple do some farming.
Good for you.
It'll help if she continuously does something with her hands.
Give her an opportunity to do so.
I'll do that.
By the way, doctor.
Could my mother remember what happened nine years ago?
Nine years ago?
I'd like to know if she can...
or cannot remember how she first went missing.
Well, that's something I don't think I can say for sure.
It depends on the person.
Let's talk about that again when the test results are out.
Okay.
Dad.
Ms. An was alive.
She came back.
This time...
I'll look after her until the end.
So that you can be forgiven however little for what you did,
I'll do everything I can.
Help us from where you are.
Did she see a doctor?
- Yes. - Instead of seeing just a neurologist,
I think she should get a full physical.
I just booked an appointment for that.
I see.
I didn't get to greet you properly.
Thank you for coming back safe and well.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
I'm so pleased I can.
- Who are you? - I'm Ju Hong.
- Ju Hong? - Yes.
Will you take Chan Woo from me?
- Mom. - Don't go, Chan Woo. Stay with me.
Yes, I will. Don't worry.
- We should go. - Okay.
Let's go, Mom. Let's have something nice to eat.
Something nice?
I'd like that.
You can't take Chan Woo.
Don't worry. Go and enjoy a nice meal.
See you. Let's go, Mom.
Ms. An.
Ji Hwan and I broke up.
It might be better that you don't remember me.
I'm sorry.
I thought he'd just be a little late,
but Mr. Woo took the day off.
I'm telling you because I'm not sure if he can do so without good reason.
I know that, so get back to work.
Okay.
You have a directors' meeting.
- You attend instead. - Me?
I have a splitting headache, so do as I say and take my place.
Okay.
What should I do with her?
She knows Dad's name.
There's no guarantee she won't remember he's Ji Hwan's dad.
What? He skipped the directors' meeting?
Yes.
I thought I should inform you.
Attend the meeting instead. Don't say a word.
Just say Director Nam has a stomach bug.
Yes, ma'am.
What's the big deal about a woman who doesn't even recognize her son...
coming back that he's skipping a meeting?
Well done, Kyung Sun.
I'm glad you're back.
Goodness. You've been through so much.
It must've been so hard on you.
It's a good thing that she's back. You said you wouldn't cry.
I did.
Poor Sang Gu.
He'd have been so pleased if he were alive.
My husband's dead, Kyung Sun.
I'm hungry.
Two Seolleongtang Deluxes.
Two Seolleongtang Deluxes!
Enjoy the food.
Ji Hwan will watch her like a hawk.
What should I do?
Why did you miss the meeting?
This isn't the time for you to skip meetings.
What should we do about Ji Hwan's mom?
- What? - What should we do?
It'll all be over if she talks.
- Stop it. - What about the accident?
And the cliff incident.
I said stop it.
And Ji Hwan...
- Mom. - Pull yourself together.
What will your whining change?
What should I do, then?
What is there to do? We tell them all to move out.
We just have to chase them off to a place no one will care.
That's not the end of it.
What do you mean it's not the end of it?
Her coming back isn't the problem.
The problem is we don't know what she'll say!
What could she say?
Her son.
Woo Ji Hwan.
Ji Hwan...
is Dad's son.
- What? - He's grandpa's grandson.
What kind of nonsense is that?
How is that even probable?
I didn't believe it at first.
But the test results...
- What test? - Grandpa and Ji Hwan.
They're related.
They are what?
Ji Hwan is...
Grandpa's grandson.
She may not be in her right mind,
but she keeps on...
calling Ji Hwan Chan Woo.
It's so odd.
Did you ask to see me?
You.
The samples I gave you. Did you pass them on?
Yes.
Are you sure? They didn't get mixed with anything else?
I'm sure. I took what you gave me.
This is the registration receipt.
Did something go wrong?
No. You can go.
Yes, sir.
No.
They couldn't have gotten swapped.
Ji Hwan and I are not related.
Is that why...
An Kyung Sun wanted to see your grandfather?
To tell him who Ji Hwan is?
Then there was the car accident.
Why are you telling me this only now?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I tried to stop it myself.
I tried to handle it myself and I almost did,
but she came back.
That woman.
The moment she says something about Ji Hwan to Grandpa...
Don't say that. We must stop her from talking.
How? We can't smuggle her away anymore.
Why can't we?
The whole family's watching her.
Even Grandpa saw her.
That's why we can't do anything at home.
We just have to take her to a deserted place.
- Mother. - Ji Hwan,
Sol, An Kyung Sun.
We must send them off on a family trip.
Trust me. I'll sort it out for you.
My legs hurt so much.
You walked a lot today.
It's so hot.
I'm thirsty.
Okay. Wait here. I'll get you some cold water.
So, about you.
Nine years ago.
What did you want to give me?
You said you'd leave something in the mailbox.
Do you remember what it is?
Oh, water.
Drink this, Mom.
She doesn't seem to remember why she went...
all the way to the holiday home.
- I'm home. - I'm home.
Hey.
You're Chan Woo's father.
Mom. Do you remember?
- What? - What about me?
Who am I? Do you remember me?
Who am I?
Nam Chan Woo's...
(The Secret House)
Come downstairs.
How dare you lie in that bed?
Chan Woo, me, our Ji Hwan.
May I run the tests again?
I want to do it myself.
Go on inside. The chairman will be waiting for you.
The chairman? Why do you want to go home so badly?
- What? - What are you so anxious about?
Don't you say another word.
Don't worry, Mom.
I will find out all that happened.
