(Episode 77)
This flight will soon depart.
- Please check again... - I feel like throwing up.
- if your seatbelt is fastened. - What?
Gosh. Excuse me!
How may I help you?
She feels like throwing up. Take her to the restroom.
The flight will depart soon.
I'll help her after we take off and the seatbelt sign turns off.
- Goodness. Miss. - Hey.
Hey, what's wrong with you? Hey!
- My gosh. - Please wait.
Hey!
Darn it. What now?
Yes. The earliest flight, please.
It's okay, even if it's after midnight. Yes.
Gyeo Ul. Don't worry too much.
We will find Ha Neul.
He's right, Gyeo Ul.
(Mom)
Yes, Mom?
What? "Ha Neul is being transferred to a hospital?"
(Asin University Hospital)
Doctor. How's our dear Ha Neul?
We gave her emergency treatment. She's out of the woods.
But why did a healthy child...
suddenly throw up and pass out?
Her liver panel came out high in her blood test.
It seems she has overdosed on acetaminophen.
How much cold medicine did you give her?
Overdose of cold medicine?
What did you do to Ha Neul?
Well...
Ha Neul's kindergarten teacher told me she had a cold.
Her fever shot up, and she was in pain.
I simply gave her some medicine from the pharmacy.
I didn't do anything wrong.
What was that?
You see, Ha Neul's kindergarten teacher asked...
if she could give Ha Neul cold medicine.
So I said yes.
That wench must've given Ha Neul another dose without knowing that.
Hey!
If anything happens to my Ha Neul, I'll kill you.
I will never forgive you.
Good gracious.
Even if she was ignorant,
how could she have given an adult's dose to a child?
My dear Ha Neul. Oh, gosh.
Mom. Not all results are out yet.
Don't worry too much.
How could she think of running away overseas with a child?
That spiteful witch.
I can never forgive that wench.
Where is she right now?
- Where is she? - Gil Ja.
Mom.
Stop. You'll faint again, Mom.
Are you telling me to leave?
That's right. You refused to move in when we told you to.
But now you want to after causing that trouble?
Didn't you tell me that this was my home?
And that I was your family?
Yes. You're right.
But I raised Ha Neul with my everything.
And that very Ha Neul is sick because of you.
I don't have the confidence to face you.
Ms. Seo.
Didn't we live together for years? How could you do this to me?
You and I lived together for over a decade.
But you lived with that kid for a few years.
Se Rin.
Hey, Tae Yang.
Oh Se Rin. Why are you here?
Leave.
Tae Yang?
Leave at once!
Gosh, that little! That girl!
She still doesn't know what she has done wrong.
Weren't you staying at the hospital?
I came to get Ha Neul's things.
I'll pack them for you. Come inside.
Okay.
So this is how you'll treat me?
Fine. I don't need you guys, either.
Let's go, Ha Neul.
No, I won't go.
Se Rin. Don't send me away.
I don't want to go.
Let's go.
Se Rin!
I shouldn't have sent you off like that.
This is all my fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Ha Neul.
Father went to bed late last night.
He'll eat later and wanted us to have breakfast first.
Yu Jin. Does that mean you'll stay at home starting today?
What?
Oh, yes.
You're not going to work? How come?
Were you fired because of the bribe?
Fired, my foot.
Shut your mouth, and eat.
Honey. How's the police investigation going?
The investigation has started,
but the police haven't called us in yet.
Yeon Seok.
Dad said not to cover up Yu Jin's wrongdoing...
and ensure he gets a proper investigation.
All right, Ji Seok. That's the right thing to do.
How could that be the right thing to do?
I can't believe Father.
Even if Yu Jin made a mistake,
how could he talk so coldheartedly?
Yu Jin is his one and only grandson, after all.
You're right. It's a relief Dad only has one.
Imagine what it would've been like if Yu Jin had a twin sibling.
- Ji Seok! - Enough, honey.
Ae Ra.
Please do a fine job as the director on behalf of Yu Jin for a while.
Of course, Father. Don't worry.
Please eat.
I can't wait until the informant gets caught.
Yes, Secretary Kim?
You found the number of the reporter who wrote my article?
Tell me right now.
So it's 0, 1, 0...
and 0, 2, 8, 4...
What?
Does the number...
end with 0, 9, 8, 4?
(Hankyung Daily Reporter Park Hyun Min)
Did you say it was correct?
Got it.
What?
Why does Ae Ra have this reporter's number?
What?
Yu Jin. Why do you have my phone?
What's this?
Why do you have...
the number of the reporter who wrote my bribery article?
What?
Well...
Answer me.
Why do you have this reporter's number?
You see...
Actually, I was searching for the informant...
who wrote your bribery article.
That was why I knew the reporter's number.
What? You were looking for the informant?
But why did you keep it from me?
I did it for your sake.
I don't even know who the informant is yet.
You would've been bothered by it had I told you.
And I only have his number. I still haven't met him yet.
Oh, is that so?
Then leave this incident to me.
I'll meet with this reporter...
and find out at any cost who tried to mess me up.
Okay. I'll do that, Yu Jin.
I should go to work now.
- Oh, right. My phone, please. - Here.
Mal Ja.
It was too hectic yesterday that I didn't have a chance to ask.
What was that with Young Soo?
To be honest,
Young Soo was Oh Se Rin's uncle.
So that really was the case.
Was that why you've been so troubled lately?
Yes, I broke up with him when I found out.
He was the uncle of the girl who gave Gyeo Ul and our family...
such a tough time, so how could I keep dating him?
Yes, Mal Ja. You made the right decision.
I can't approve of him either...
now that Ha Neul has fallen ill.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry. It's the right thing to do.
Anyway, Ha Neul's exam results should be out soon, right?
Yes.
Doctor, how's Ha Neul doing?
She's suffering from acute liver failure.
"Acute liver failure?"
What should we do next?
She can be treated, right?
Her liver damage is too severe, so medication won't be enough.
She'll need a liver transplant.
- "A liver transplant?" - Yes.
The patient is still young, and her condition may become worse,
so she'll need a liver transplant as soon as possible.
What happened?
What did the doctor say?
Why? Is her condition that bad?
Mom.
Ha Neul needs a liver transplant.
What? "A liver transplant?"
Aunt Jung Hye, what will happen to Ha Neul now?
It's obvious.
If she needs a liver transplant, she'll get one.
Tae Yang, how do we proceed?
I'll get examined first.
Our blood types are different from hers, so it won't be likely.
We should talk to Gyeo Ul's family first.
Yes, Tae Yang.
Hey, it's Mr. Jung.
I believe my aunt has type O blood which is the same as Ha Neul's.
There may be a chance for her to be a donor,
so I'll take her to the hospital right away.
Okay, Tae Yang.
Tae Yang's sister, Ha Neul?
Is she ill?
But it sounded like Mr. Jung's aunt was going to be a donor.
What's going on?
I thought you had a great voice over the phone, Reporter Park.
But in real life,
you're even good-looking, tall,
and have great hair too.
Is it the shampoo you use?
What's the brand?
Why did you want to see me?
Well.
Because of your article on my bribery.
I was wondering if you could tell me who the informant was.
It was an anonymous tip-off, so I have no way of knowing.
And my ethics as a journalist do not allow me...
to expose the informant under any circumstances.
Come on.
You're a very professional man.
I'll just keep it to myself.
So...
can you please tell me?
What's this?
Wait, is this...
I knew you'd recognize it right away.
You're right. There aren't too many of these.
Limited edition.
Hey, Director Nam Yu Jin.
What were you thinking as you offered me a bribe?
Do you want me to release another article on your bribery?
What?
Well, it wasn't like I said I'd give it to you.
I was just showing it to you.
Let me ask you a question too.
I hear YJ has been stopping the investigation of your embezzlement.
Is that true?
What do you mean?
We aren't stopping any investigation.
No way.
You're absurd.
Yes, Dad.
Right now?
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
I may be the acting director now,
but soon, I'll take over for good.
One by one,
I'll make all of YJ Group into mine.
Anyway,
the article on Nam Yu Jin's bribery was released ages ago.
Why haven't the police announced their investigation?
Come in.
Ms. Ju, please look over the new project proposal.
Why are you here with this, Yeon Soo?
Isn't this Ms. Oh's project?
We have to report this to the chairman by today,
but she suddenly took the day off.
I see.
Do you know why?
I'm not sure.
I don't know the details either.
I see. Okay.
I'll check this document and report it to the chairman.
You had been stopping the police from conducting an investigation?
Thank you, Dad.
I didn't stop it. I only put it on hold for now.
Many have their eyes on this case after that article was released,
so I couldn't stop it for good.
You'll get questioned soon.
What?
Dad, if you could put it on hold, why couldn't you stop it?
Once I get questioned, they'll find out about the bribe.
What will I do then?
We'll meet with Daehan Industries and come up with a story.
We'll say it was a personal transaction, not a bribe.
Then the police will end up clearing you of suspicion.
Yes, that's my way out.
You're my savior, Dad.
So I've been trying to meet the CEO of Daehan Industries,
but he's out of reach, and I don't know where he is now.
Yu Jin, do you know anything else...
about the CEO of Daehan Industries?
No, nothing.
I contacted him to return the money after the article was released,
but he wouldn't pick up my calls.
He must've been scared and decided to go off the grid.
Our priority is meeting the CEO of Daehan Industries.
So do whatever you can...
to find a way to meet him.
Yes, Dad.
(YJ Group)
So Chairman Nam had been stopping Nam Yu Jin's investigation?
I must make sure his investigation begins quickly.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
- What? - Please leave a...
Why? Is he still out of reach?
Yes, Tae Yang told me last time...
that Ha Neul went somewhere. Is she not back yet?
Maybe he lied to you and said she went somewhere...
because you were annoying them so much.
No, Tae Yang and Ha Neul wouldn't lie.
I miss Ha Neul.
Uncle Ji Seok.
It looked like Ha Neul was sick.
What? Ha Neul is sick?
Yes, I overheard Mr. Jung on the phone with Mr. Seo.
I think he said something like how Ha Neul needs...
a liver transplant.
What? "A liver transplant?"
Goodness, I'm sure you heard him wrong.
She was perfectly healthy. Why would she need that?
Anyway, Gyeo Ul's brother must be close to Mr. Seo...
to share such personal stories.
Is Mr. Seo's mother looking after Ha Neul right now?
Yes.
Aunt Mal Ja, you said the result of the first compatibility test...
will come out today, right?
Yes, they said they'd contact me within the day.
I'll hear from them soon.
It's the hospital.
Yes, this is Yoon Mal Ja.
What?
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure the exam was done properly?
I don't drink or smoke.
Okay. I understand.
What's wrong, Aunt?
What did the hospital say?
I have a fatty liver, so I can't be the donor.
What? Oh, my gosh.
What do we do now?
The only one...
who could've given their liver to Ha Neul in our family...
was you, Mal Ja.
How do we save Ha Neul now?
Ha Neul.
Gyeo Ul.
Let's tell the truth to Nam Yu Jin's family.
Young Jun. Doesn't that mean the whole family...
will know that Ha Neul is So Yi?
What if they want to take Ha Neul from us?
I hate the idea of sending Ha Neul to Nam Yu Jin.
But we should save Ha Neul first.
Nam Yu Jin has blood type O. He could give his liver to her.
What? My gosh, Gyeo Ul. Where are you going?
Where are you going? Gyeo Ul!
What? You want my liver?
You've gone totally mad, haven't you?
Ha Neul ended up like that because of you.
Hey. How am I at fault?
Didn't I make it clear?
That I simply gave medicine to an unwell child.
I did everything I possibly could.
Se Rin. Please.
Right now, you're the only one who can be Ha Neul's donor.
Without your help, Ha Neul could die.
What about me?
What if something goes wrong with me during the operation?
Se Rin. What should I do?
I'll do anything you ask.
I don't trust you.
You didn't do anything I told you to until now.
Se Rin.
Anyway, I have no intention of giving my liver to Ha Neul.
So don't ever call me again.
Wait.
Please save my dear Ha Neul.
Good gracious. Let go of me.
Gyeo Ul.
Are you okay?
Ha Neul needs a liver transplant.
What now?
Mr. Jung told me Aunt Mal Ja was disqualified as a donor.
Even if a family member can't give their liver,
Ha Neul has been put on the organ donation list.
We'll be able to save her.
We don't know when she'll get that chance.
What if Ha Neul's condition suddenly turns for the worse?
That will never happen.
Or I'll meet and ask Se Rin to do it.
So don't worry, Gyeo Ul.
I met with Se Rin just now.
She swore she wouldn't do it.
This won't do.
I should go and ask Nam Yu Jin right now.
Gyeo Ul.
Didn't you say we shouldn't ask his family...
because they could take Ha Neul away?
What's more, Ju Ae Ra is with them.
That's why I'd rather die than ask Nam Yu Jin.
But saving Ha Neul is our top priority right now.
Even if I can't meet her again,
I must ask Nam Yu Jin right away.
Gyeo Ul!
Ha Neul!
What?
- Ha Neul! - Ha Neul!
Mom. What happened to Ha Neul?
I don't know. She felt nauseous all of a sudden.
I'll go get the doctor.
It hurts.
Ha Neul. You'll get better in no time.
The doctor will make that happen.
We did everything we could at the moment.
But she might fall into danger if this continues.
She must get a transplant as soon as possible.
Doctor. I did some research.
People with different blood types could donate their organs.
Then can't I give Ha Neul my liver?
It's possible.
But if the blood type is different, the patient needs...
intense immunosuppression therapy before the surgery.
The therapy could overwhelm patients as young as Ha Neul.
It could put them in danger.
Does that mean we have to wait for an organ donor?
My poor Ha Neul. What do we do?
If only I were your real mom, I wouldn't have been this helpless.
So how's Ha Neul? Is she better?
Yes. But we never know when her condition might worsen.
She needs a transplant soon.
I asked the people I knew.
A non-family member transplant isn't easy.
But it's not as if we have no other options. So don't worry.
Thanks for going out of your way, Young Jun.
But I don't think I can just wait like this.
So as you mentioned, I will tell Nam Yu Jin.
Will you be okay?
You wanted to avoid that because you might lose Ha Neul.
Honestly, that frightened me the most.
But it didn't matter at the thought that Ha Neul might die.
I see. Whatever decision you make,
I will always support it.
But do you think Nam Yu Jin will give his liver to Ha Neul?
Yes, he will.
Nam Yu Jin may be a total jerk.
But judging by how he treated the fake So Yi,
he truly loves his daughter.
So he will.
Right?
When will you tell Nam Yu Jin?
We plan to meet in a bit. I will tell him then.
Daehan Industries' CEO Shin, this is Nam Yu Jin.
There's a way we both can get out of this.
Please call me when you check this.
He contacted me every day to bribe me.
But now he's avoiding me?
How annoying.
I will find and destroy the person who put me into this mess.
CEO Shin?
What the heck? Jung Gyeo Ul?
Why did you call?
I have something important to tell you.
Meet me today.
Why should I meet you?
I have no time to spare for you.
It's really crucial.
If you don't come, I'll go to your house.
"House?" No, you can't.
Darn it.
All right.
I'll go. Okay?
See you there.
Why is she so dead serious? It's scary.
Yu Jin.
I'm going to a ladies' get-together today.
Let me borrow Ae Ra's bag.
I already told Ae Ra.
Okay. Go ahead.
Let's see. This one?
I'll go with this one.
The bag's packed with things.
I'll empty them here.
Goodness. This girl carries so many things with her. How messy.
All done.
- I'm off. - Okay. Have fun.
Thanks.
"Novelles Tower?"
Hold on. Isn't this the building with the restaurant where I met...
the CEO of Daehan Industries?
What's going on? This is the day I met CEO Shin.
And even the time.
By the way, weren't you returning late?
You see, work ended much earlier than expected.
Ae Ra clearly said she had work to do at the company.
Why did she lie to me?
What's this?
Why do you have...
the number of the reporter who wrote my bribery article?
What?
Well...
Answer me.
Why do you have this reporter's number?
You see...
Actually, I was searching for the informant...
who wrote your bribery article.
That was why I knew the reporter's number.
Could Ae Ra be the informant?
But she wouldn't have done that.
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
We'll meet with Daehan Industries and come up with a story.
We'll say it was a personal transaction, not a bribe.
Then the police will end up clearing you of suspicion.
I can't let the police clear him of suspicion.
(Director Nam Yu Jin)
Alex? Did you contact CEO Shin of Daehan Industries?
No, it's all right.
I have to give him money,
and it's better for me to meet him to ensure he keeps his mouth shut.
Yes.
(Director's Office)
What? Did she just ignore my call?
Where is she going now?
It was just as I thought.
YJ Group had been stopping the investigation.
I had also been waiting for the police to call...
but found it odd that nobody called.
That's why...
I need you to turn yourself in to the police.
That's the only way to get the investigation on track.
I understand.
Then I'll go to the police tomorrow...
and turn myself in for bribing him.
As I mentioned before, Daehan Industries will continue...
under Alex's charge.
We'll also take good care of your family...
until your release.
Please don't worry about that.
Thank you, Ms. Ju.
Don't mention it.
I want to thank you for making this decision...
because I know it must've been hard.
Yu Jin.
Why are you here?
That's what I want to ask you.
What's going on between you and CEO Shin?
What's the meaning of this conversation you just had?
Did you two...
conspire to put me down?
Did you?
(Woman in a Veil)
I'm not going to give her my liver.
I'll come and be with you, so give Ha Neul your liver.
So Yi can live if she gets a liver transplant?
You're the only one who can save So Yi.
I can have Tae Yang back if I give her my liver?
This move is the strongest one I can make.
I need you to stop Nam Yu Jin from getting involved.
