Miss Ripley
Episode 16
Final Episode
Will you be okay?
Yes, I'll be fine.
You're so impatient.
No matter how comfortable home may be.
Let's go in.
The vice president left the hospital already?
Yes. Okay. I understand.
Yes.
What's going on?
Yu... Yu Hyun!
The "crown prince" has come to this far place too?
What are you doing?! Yu Hyun!
Yu Hyun! Are you okay? Are you okay?
- Yu Hyun. Get up first. - Yu Hyun?
Yu Hyun.
I told you not to let her go down like this, didn't I?!
Did you not hear what I said?
Running away is not the solution.
You punk. This world has always been a punitive justice.
If you live kindly then will the world be kind to you?
You! Squirt!
Listen up. Jang Mi Ri. Mi Ri...
is my woman.
Let go. I beg you.
I told you to stop!
- You jerk! - Don't!
If you hurt him, then I'll die right here.
What?
Don't move!
I'll die in front of you!
Mi Ri.
What a joke you guys are putting on!
Why? You don't think I will?
Like you said, I'm a woman who doesn't have anything.
I didn't have anything, but then I met Yu Hyun and I was happy.
I realized what love was.
I realized what happiness meant.
Hey, just get on the boat behind you.
Stop this nonsense and let's go.
No! Stop! Don't come!
Mi Ri! Mi Ri!
Tonight at 10, because of the charges of aiding in falsifying academic records and obstruction of business, there's been an order to capture Jang Mi Ri.
She collapsed at Incheon Harbor and is currently being transported to the hospital.
That being known by the bar owner she worked for before entering this country,
she was taken away. Ms. Jang is in a coma now
- after falling off the rail at the pier. - Oh my. Oh my. Her head?
- Her head got hurt? - Oh my,
she's not dead, right?
Don't say that!
They only said she was hurt, not dead!
You know how a head injury usually ends up. Didn't they say she has lost consciousness?
What is this?
What an unpredictable life we're living!
What are you doing?
Mi Ri is hurt.
Yes. It looks so.
You knew about it?
Vice President just woke up, and now Mi Ri just collapsed.
Life is really...
What do you mean by that?
How did Mi Ri faint?
The man who used to work with her in Japan tried to take her away forcibly,
and she fell in the water while resisting.
Honey. Honey. Are you okay?
Yes. I'm okay.
The procedures are all done.
We're just waiting for the results now, but...
Besides waiting on the result, how about you going to see her?
No! I can't go.
Honey.
I'm a mother who abandoned her daughter.
What right do I have to show up in front of her?
Anyway, it's become an unforgivable deed now.
You two cannot ignore each other forever.
I don't want to go.
Honey.
So, you met him before?
The man who was trying to take Mi Ri away?
Yes. I heard he's the person Mi Ri worked with before in Japan.
Then, Jang Mi Ri was not trying to run away.
Yes.
She didn't want to go.
She said she had to pay for what she did,
and also, she didn't want to lie to anyone anymore.
Mom. Mom!
Mom!
Child!
Mom! Mom!
Child!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Where did you go, Mom? Why have you just come now?
I went to a very faraway place.
Far? Then do you have to go again?
Really? You're not going back?
Of course not.
What have you been doing that made you so dirty?
I was playing and then I fell into the water.
Why?
Other kids were teasing me and saying that I'm a kid without a mom.
What?
So, I hit them.
You did?
Yes. I did.
Look here.
Please get up.
I still have a lot of things I want to say to you.
I didn't get the chance to say that I hated you for lying to me.
Why do you have to be my mother's daughter?
There's still a lot we haven't done yet.
Like going to the movies together,
and then fighting over popcorn.
Walking on the streets,
and shunning you for looking at other men.
I wanted to start an argument.
There are still things we haven't done yet,
and places we haven't been to yet.
How could we, with you being like this?
You being like this is too much, Mi Ri.
What are you going to do now?
Actually, I haven't decided on anything yet,
other than hoping Mi Ri would wake up soon.
Nothing else, nothing more I can do now.
That's all I can tell you right now.
I know you'll be able to get through this.
Yes. I will.
I definitely will.
Aren't you going to sleep?
You said you were tired and sleepy.
I'm not sleepy.
Mom?
Yes.
Mom?
What?
It's nothing.
I just wanted to call you that and see if you're really there.
To see if I'm real? Are you thinking I'm not real?
I'm afraid you'll disappear. Like last time.
I won't.
You don't know how much Mom misses you.
I've looked very hard for you because I couldn't find you.
Really?
Of course.
Now that I've found you, I won't let go.
Okay?
Like this.
I'm going to hold you tightly. Tightly.
It tickles!
It tickles?
Yes! It tickles!
What about this one?
I grew up without a family.
Let's call it "orphan," shall we?
How dare you lie like that!
I'm sorry, Mother-in-law!
Please don't be like that.
This is a place for patients. Please go back.
How is Jang Mi Ri doing?
It said an arrest warrant for Director Jang would be issued soon, did you know?
General Manager, please say something.
Things are getting worse.
Her blood pressure is dropping.
It's... it's not looking optimistic at all?
Yes,
but she will wake up.
Therefore, I ask you all to please go back.
Thank you for coming.
You shouldn't mention it like that to me.
That's right.
You should have some rest too.
We've been very worried about you these past few days.
I'm still well, aren't I?
Don't worry. She's very strong. She'll wake up soon.
I hope so. She will.
The thing is not that you shouldn't have come to sell some cigarettes to me,
but that you shouldn't have played the flute in front of me.
When you play flute, it might have been miserable to you, but there are people who liked it.
Don't remember them as bad memories.
This was my song, Jang Mi Ri.
Even though I don't know if you remember or not.
So, you don't want to run away?
That means, you love that kid that much?
Mi Ri! Mi Ri! Wait! Mi Ri!
You shouldn't have had to run away like that.
I shouldn't have let you go.
The tune from this flute, think of it as the conclusion to that life of yours.
Get up now. I'll let you go.
Live the way you want to live.
Let her go.
I haven't really done anything. How am I going to do that, Prince?
You, wake her up!
If you think that way, then call the police. I'll be waiting right here.
I'm a born bastard, so I'm not afraid of anything,
because my life itself is illegal.
Also, there's something I want to tell you.
I'm very jealous of you.
If by any chance Mi Ri wakes up,
tell her that I gave up on her because of you.
Are you not going to look for her now?
Again?
With people like me, there's no 'again.'
You probably don't know that.
Let me tell you one more time,
I'm really jealous of you.
I'm leaving here giving up on the thought of making her my woman.
I thought I was going to live with her for the rest of my life.
The weather is terrible.
Like a fool.
You should have lived better so you could take revenge on your mom, but what is this?
Hurry and get up, if you hate me.
If you hate me, wake up.
Wake up and say that to me.
Why are you leaving me now?
Why are you making me live through this?
Wake up and yell at me.
If you don't, then I will disappear again.
So, wake up.
Mi Ri.
Could you tell us how you're feeling right now?
Please comment!
Out of the way. Move aside.
Could you say just a little?
Please reveal a little bit.
Because of his relationship with Jang Mi Ri,
Hotel A's representative director, Jang Myung Hoon, was taken away by the police.
After Jang Mi Ri awakens in the hospital,
she will be charged with obstruction of business and falsification of documents.
Because of Jang Mi Ri's current condition,
her arrest will be temporarily halted.
After she has regained consciousness, we will resume our operation.
Does this mean that the accusations are all confirmed now?
For the most part.
What about the suspect that was fleeing to Japan?
We will wait until Jang Mi Ri is well enough to give us the answer to that question.
What if she wakes up being unhealthy, would she go on unrestrained arrest? What's her current status?
I'll say that her current status is not optimistic. That's all for now.
The results show that besides some injuries to the brain, there were no other problems.
She's unconscious right now because of the blow.
I don't know what else to say about her condition.
Are you implying that she could be in a dangerous state?
We'll find out after a thorough examination when she wakes up.
What are you going to do?
It all depends on your mother's decision.
What about Mi Ri?
Do we have to let her go like this?
Under the circumstances where she's hurt and that she's lost everything?
There's no way to stop the arrest now.
- Father. - You...
need to start thinking about your future.
You mean...
Don't think about Mi Ri anymore.
You cannot go on like this forever.
Father.
To us all, I think there is this fate about having a relationship with someone. Some relationships cannot be established,
no matter how much you want to be together.
For others, no matter how hard you push them away, they would keep coming to you.
Perhaps Mi Ri is not meant to be with you.
Father.
I don't know what else to say, but I'm sorry.
But this relationship has come only this far, this much. We cannot help that.
Yes,
she's a person who lied about her education and her past,
but we can't treat her like this.
I don't care what others do,
but you and I can't.
We can't give up on her.
No,
even if we do, we still need to take responsibility.
- There is no other way. - We have to find a way.
We must.
So that she can live a new life,
and find the life that she was deprived of.
Mi Ri. Mi Ri.
Mi Ri.
The patient is regaining consciousness.
Mi Ri.
I hadn't expected her to wake up so soon.
What about her cognition and functional abilities you mentioned?
Any after-effects?
Actually, for people who've been through this,
the number of people who live normal lives are considerably small.
So you mean that...
For now it might seem like there are no side effects,
but we must examine her on a weekly basis.
You can't eat?
No more.
Okay then.
- I want to lie for a bit. - Okay.
I'll go put these away.
- Mi Ri. - Don't say anything.
I don't want to hear it.
Mi Ri.
You don't have the right.
Don't be like that.
Mom... Mom did wrong.
Don't do this because I won't accept it.
I... What should I have to do?
What's wrong, Hee Joo?
I already said that no matter what you do, I'll hate it!
For 20 years,
I've lost a mother and was forced to go to an orphanage and then raised by a foreign parent in a foreign country.
Do you know how I lived?
I looked for you every day.
In case some day,
I forget what you looked like or what your voice sounded like, in order to remember you.
On some days I would draw,
and on others I would sing.
Mom went to work,
and the child is left alone at home.
Stop it. Stop it.
Do you remember?
When you sang it?
And whom did you sing it with?
I was wrong.
It's my fault. Child.
Mother?!
Abandoning her nine year old daughter in order to live well.
That's what a mother does?
Bearing with alcoholic foster parents
and drinking faucet water to stay full?
You met a new man to have fancy clothes and a house,
did that feel good?
Just a tiny bit,
can you understand me for a little bit?
You were too young, and I...
I don't want to hear it.
Mi Ri.
Even then, I still looked for my mom.
Today at the village market and tomorrow at the supermarket.
I went looking for you until dark every day.
And then I was sent to the orphanage and then adopted to Japan.
You don't even know how much I suffered trying to repay my adoptive parents' debt.
You don't know.
I didn't know that happened to you. If I knew...
Because of those debt, I...
I've become like this.
That's why I worked as a bar hostess.
But, those photos... That's what you threw in my face.
That's enough, Mi Ri.
Get up, Mother.
But I...
How could I forgive you!
Mi Ri,
she's still your mother.
You can't switch or trade your mother as you like.
She's not my mom. No!
Mi Ri.
Through all that, I came to this now,
I've done wrong.
It was I... All my fault.
Mother.
Honey. Honey!
Mom abandoned me for her own happiness,
how could I forgive her?
How?
Jang Mi Ri has been immediately arrested due to falsification of documents
and obstruction of business.
She was about to become Mondo Group's daughter-in-law.
After the scandal was exposed,
while trying to flee to another country,
she encountered an accident and slipped into unconsciousness.
After she has regained consciousness,
in order to assist in the investigation, she was taken to the police station.
Could you say something?
This side! You should explain the situation on this side too!
Please tell us!
Jang Mi Ri had been arrested this afternoon due to forgeries of documents
which lead to obstruction of business.
This is the bar in Fukuoka that Jang Mi Ri originally lived at.
Jang was adopted here when she was 15 years old,
and she sold cigarettes during her times there.
What's going to happen now?
She's going. Going to prison.
What have you been looking at?
Let me see. Hand it over.
Why are you like this?
Oh! Isn't this a photo of Jang Mi Ri?
What are you doing? Why aren't you working?
According to the news report, Jang Mi Ri was arrested...
Wait.
Weren't you the closest with Jang Mi Ri?
What do you mean, Manager?
- That's right! - What?
Please verify these evidences.
Yes. It's correct.
How did you make all these?
Jang Mi Ri?
The certificate...
The graduation certification was stolen from a friend.
After that, I took it to a place to help me forge a copy.
Then, did you fax it yourself?
Yes, I did it.
What about the confirmation in Director Jang's office?
I did that also. I faxed it.
How about the contents in the lecture and program?
Yes. I did.
So you did all of these?
Yes. I did all those.
Why did you do it?
You didn't have to go this far.
I don't know. I didn't know of any other way.
Not even once
did I have to tell them who I was, and what kind of situation I was in.
If I told them who I was,
or what kind of situation I'm in,
everyone would have evaded me.
It's better if they evaded me, everyone was hurting me.
If they knew I was an orphan, they would discriminate and bully me.
If they knew I was all by myself, they would attack me.
That was when I learned, I can't be honest.
I can't be a person without anything.
I pretended to be a college student when I was selling alcohol.
And if something came up that I didn't know about, I would pretend I did.
I made up a mother which I didn't have,
I also made up a nice family which I didn't have.
But the world is amusing.
After I did that, people started asking for me.
Regular customers even gave me more tips.
One by one, just like that.
Did you falsify your education because of that?
In order to reach higher levels?
Yes, I did.
I just had to have that.
When I had that, the world and I changed.
I was a different person.
Instead of being looked down on and ignored as an orphan,
I was someone who was amazing even though I was an orphan.
That's not all.
Love...
Love came to me.
So that's why you did it?
Towards Jang Myung Hoon and towards Song Yu Hyun also?
I thought I had a lot to say.
But... I don't have much to say now.
Yes, first, let me apologize.
For all the unfortunate things that happened to you,
I know it was all because of me now.
I guess that's how our fate began to intertwine,
when we weren't sure of what was going to happen,
it all began with Father and Mother.
I'm sorry.
Don't say anymore.
I lied to you.
Not only lying...
Also, I tried to cover up myself.
- But you still... - Why did you do that?
Was it the only way?
Why didn't you think of other ways?
After I found out that you were not a sales representative,
but Mondo Group's heir,
when I approached you I didn't know.
You didn't need the title of Mondo's heir to show
how good of a person you are.
However,
the more time we spent together,
I slowly realized you were a really nice person.
I learned what it means to be a nice person, from you.
Then, I dreamt this...
If I get together with this person,
my past, which had me feeling ashamed and miserable with just the mere thought of it, couldn't it be wiped clean?
If I was with this person, wouldn't my wrongdoings be forgiven and sympathized? I wondered all that.
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
I wanted to,
but I couldn't.
Why?
What is there that you couldn't say?
I was worried I would lose you.
If I told you,
I was afraid that I would lose you.
I've thought to myself, when we get married, I would tell you the truth,
but...
That's not love, but greed.
Yes.
It looks like I don't really know what love is.
If we didn't meet like this,
would things have been different?
- They're coming out! - Jang Mi Ri!
Jang Mi Ri, what did you say?
- Jang Mi Ri, was it true? - What did you say?
-One Year Later-
All done.
It doesn't look like there's anything wrong.
You're working too hard, you need to rest.
I will prescribe some medicine for you to take when it hurts,
but you need to rest from now on.
I understand. Just make sure you give me a lot of medicine.
I will.
To America?
That's right.
I will send your mother and Mi Ri together.
Under the current situation, sending away your mother for indefinite time,
it makes me feel uncomfortable here and there, but...
Although I'm still worried about many things,
it's the least I could do for your mother.
That's what I think.
You don't like the idea.
No, it's not that.
We can't make it happen just because we want to.
Of course, Mi Ri has to agree to it.
And it would mean you need to collect your thoughts.
Either way, I think this is the best way for your mother and Mi Ri.
Can you do it?
Therefore, I'm helping your mother fix her Family Register.
I'm making sure it doesn't mean we become strangers to each other.
It might sound strange, but it's only a process.
Just like, even with 20 years of separation, nobody can make Mi Ri not be her daughter.
Your mother's heart is with me,
and with us,
how could she become another person?
Wait a bit. She could be running late.
But I can't reach her.
She could be stuck in traffic.
What's the matter? She didn't come?
Okay then. Don't worry too much.
Yes.
Okay. I know.
Mom.
It took me 20 years to be able to call you that,
it's still unbelievable that I can call you mom whenever I want now.
And whenever I call, you would come to me.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.
But I just want to stay here.
I want to start all over again. Even though I really miss you,
I will hold it in.
Even though it may be difficult,
I want to overcome my shameful past.
I'm sorry I couldn't go with you,
but thank you,
because...
you've told me before that if I keep playing with the necklace,
you would come back.
Just like you had said, mom really came back.
I love you.
I love you, Mom.
[Opening Ceremony of Mondo Children's Welfare Center]
Thank you for the speech.
Let's welcome our next speaker, Mondo Group's General Manager,
Song Yu Hyun's congratulatory speech.
Thank you.
There is this saying,
people will only know what love is when they are in love.
To learn and share such love, this center is established.
At its opening, for all the support and cheers presented here,
I sincerely thank everyone.
Thank you.
What's the next schedule?
As far as I know, we're having dinner with the Vice President of Finance and his wife.
It looks like your schedule is a bit packed these days.
Work is interesting, I don't want to think about anything else.
Is it because of Mi Ri?
You'll get sick if you work too hard.
A person needs to rest, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
Let's go.
[Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. -Michael Masser]
Enjoy your meal. Help yourself.
Yes.
Hello.
Have some.
Aigoo, to bring this all the way here.
Thank you.
I recognized her at first sight.
Her eyes resemble my mother who passed away a long time ago.
Her smile is really beautiful.
The world has made me exhausted, but that woman taught me the joy in living.
To me, she is like my heart.
I loved this woman.
I really loved her.
