Okay, Attorney Ko.
Yes.
My thoughts haven't changed at all.
Yes.
Wait. Please wait!
Bring us something to drink. Something cold.
How dare you send this to me
after what you did to Jinwu!
After you took Jinwu,
you became quite cocky.
Are you that happy to have your son back?
Does that give you the right to barge in here?
A surrogate is suing the biological parents
for custody of the child?
That's ludicrous.
Stop the suit right away.
Why? Are you scared?
Are you afraid you'll lose in court?
Don't you care about Jinwu at all?
Do you remember how painful it was
for Jinwu to endure the custody battle?
Who filed the claims first?
Was it me? Or was it Byeongguk?
I fought to protect my son.
You started that fight.
You started the custody battle,
and you say it was my fault he was in pain?
It was between you and Byeongguk.
Don't blame me.
I'm a victim too. Get it?
Lee Hwayeong!
Have some tea.
I'm sure you're burning up inside.
I can't sleep at night because of you.
Why?
Because you don't deserve to be a mother,
yet you're raising Jinwu.
I'm afraid you'll scar Jinwu for life!
I won't lose my son to scum like you.
About John Wilson...
I don't know what bribes you gave him
to keep his mouth shut,
but you better prepare yourself.
You once told me that
no secret stays a secret forever.
For the sake of keeping Jinwu,
you'll drag someone I barely know into this?
Let's find out how acquainted you really are.
Go ahead.
In the end,
you'll lose everything, not me.
You'll see John Wilson in prison soon enough.
So get ready.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Send these to Attorney Lee Myeongun.
Okay.
It's me.
Arrange a press release.
What? What is this about?
I'm suing for custody rights.
As Jeong Jinwu's surrogate,
I'm suing Baek Yeonhui for custody of Jinwu.
I'll tell that to the press.
I'll tell them why
I should have custody of him.
You can't!
What's wrong with him?
Forget it and get back to work.
Hwayeong.
What? What is it?
You're worried about Yeonhui again?
Is that why you came running?
Don't sue them.
Too bad. I'm doing it.
Let's see who wins.
Hwayeong, please think rationally.
Doing this won't change a thing.
For the sake of all of us at the company,
don't do it.
You and this company?
Since when do you care?
Do you really think this makes any sense?
If you claim biological custody
and the press gets a hold of this,
what will happen to you and this company?
Do you want to tell the whole world
that you were once a surrogate mother?
Do you want to ruin our company like that?
My experience as a surrogate mother
would ruin this company?
I don't get your rationale.
My personal and business life are separate.
The press will have a field day with it.
They'll keep digging up dirt on this company
and on you as well.
They'll scrutinize you, the company,
Jinwu and Yeonhui.
Why would you put everyone through that?
See? You're on Yeonhui's side.
Hwayeong.
The plan is already in motion.
I'm going to get Jinwu no matter what.
After all, I'm his mother.
Yeonhui
The recipient is unavailable...
Lee Myeongun
This is Yu Seongbin.
President Lee Hwayeong
has decided to sue Yeonhui.
What?
Why won't she answer?
The recipient is unavailable...
Attorney Lee? What brings you here?
Yeonhui's not here?
She said she'd be in late today.
Why? What's going on?
Huh?
Why? Are you scared?
Don't you care about Jinwu at all?
Do you remember how painful it was
for Jinwu to endure the custody battle?
Who started it?
Was it me? Or was it Byeongguk?
Yes. You're right.
Jinwu did suffer because of me.
But I won't let it happen again.
Yeonhui.
Are you okay?
Myeongun.
I know. Hwayeong is suing you.
What will I do?
Where are you taking me? I have work to do.
What was that?
You saw it too right?
Yeah.
They were holding hands.
I knew she was divorced,
but she already got herself another man?
I feel bad for Hwayeong.
Byeongguk dumped her.
Chuja! Chuja, wait for me!
Oh, my.
Let go.
This will look nice on you.
Go try it on.
You can't work in your stained clothes.
Go and get changed.
This is Myeongun.
What? Attorney Ko Byeongjo?
Hello.
I heard.
I'll brief you on the case soon.
It looks nice.
- We'll take this one. / - Oh, no!
Just use that one.
Please don't do this anymore.
It doesn't feel right.
Well, it can't be helped right now.
Why are you so selfish?
Why do you always tell me what to do?
Don't you care about
what others might think?
Do you think I'm in a position
to been seen out shopping with you?
I'm sorry for getting you new clothes.
But when you got served,
you should've called me first.
Why would you meet Hwayeong
without contacting your lawyer?
What if something had happened?
What were you hoping to achieve?
You might always be calm and rational,
but when I got served,
I was completely furious.
My Jinwu...
I barely rescued him from that nightmare.
I thought the ordeal was finally over,
but it's not. It's starting again.
If you were in my shoes,
could you remain calm?
I know you're in shock.
But Hwayeong isn't someone
who is worth your time.
I'll take care of...
Why should you take care of my problems?
Have I ever asked you to do that for me?
Yeonhui, I'm your lawyer.
Well, you're fired.
I'm getting a new lawyer.
So don't worry about me.
I don't want to make you suffer any longer.
I get uncomfortable when you care for me.
Before you met me,
you were a successful corporate lawyer.
Why get involved with me
and lose all that for no reason?
Why do you let me burden you?
Do you have to say it like that?
Don't be concerned with stains on my clothes.
I don't have time to be out shopping with you
and listening to you tell me that I look nice.
I recently got divorced
and I'm Jinwu's mother.
I'm not available.
Yes. I know!
How can I forget?
You remind me at every turn!
I am a lawyer.
I help big companies,
I'm skilled and I have wealthy clients.
Yeonhui, you...
Whenever you need help,
do you wish I'd swoop in like Tarzan?
You only want me to be around
when you need me to win a difficult case.
But you don't want me to be more than that,
since you're afraid of what people think!
You say you're not available, but you are.
I want more of you,
and I also...
I have feelings for you.
Come in.
You're Lee Myeongun, attorney at law?
Yes.
Here you go.
Goodbye.
Subpoena for Parental Testing
I don't have time to be out shopping with you
and listening to you tell me that I look nice.
I recently got divorced
and I'm Jinwu's mother.
I'm not available.
It's been a long time.
I need to see you now.
What for?
Do you suddenly miss me?
I guess Yeonhui gave you the news.
That's not it.
Now, I know for certain.
I wasn't too sure before but...
Stop talking nonsense and meet me.
I'll come to your office.
No. There's no need.
If this is about the case regarding Jinwu,
watch the news later.
I'm sure everyone will be quite surprised.
What? What are you talking about?
Hello?
Lee Hwayeong! Hwayeong!
News?
What's she talking about?
Here she comes!
President Lee, what is this all about?
I'm Lee Hwayeong, the CEO of HS Group.
But right now, I stand before you
not as the CEO of the HS Group
but as a woman,
as a mother of a child.
That's why I asked you to come today.
What is she saying?
7 years ago,
I was a waitress
at a restaurant in Gangnam.
Ms. Gwak was my boss's sister-in-law.
Ms. Gwak was looking for a surrogate mother
for her daughter-in-law.
Surrogate mother?
What?
She really took a liking to me
and begged that
I be her grandson's surrogate.
It was such an unimaginably huge request.
Obviously, I refused at first,
but when I thought about the suffering couple,
I just had to help out.
And so, I became their surrogate
and I had the couple's child in secret.
President Lee, why are you telling us
this shocking news here today?
Today, I have decided
to sue for the custody of the child I bore.
I'm suing for custody of my son.
A surrogate mother suing
the biological parents
for the custody of a child
has never been done before.
Do you really think you have a shot?
Did you receive any money or real estate
in return for being their surrogate?
If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to
stand here before you like this today.
The child's parents
asked you to be their surrogate long ago.
So why are you suing for custody now?
According to Korean law, "mother" is defined
as the woman who bears the child.
Miss, are you married?
Have you ever experienced the pain of birth?
If you have, then you'll be able to
understand what I feel right now.
How did the child's parents respond?
They said I was crazy.
Is it that crazy for a mother
to want her child back?
What are you going to do now?
I won't let her have him.
I'm going to protect him.
We have Myeongun so I'm not too worried,
but I'm worried about
this affecting Jinwu's health.
Shocking Press Release from the CEO of HS Group
You can't, sir!
It's okay.
It's been a while.
I really missed you.
What are you trying to do?
Are you determined to humiliate us?
Do you want to see
my mother faint from shock?
Why would you do such a thing?
Why?
Let go of me while you talk.
This isn't appropriate.
What if my secretary comes in?
Sit.
It's hard to keep standing when you're upset.
Retract the suit.
Retract it?
After I told everyone about my past,
after I revealed everything,
you want me to retract it?
Now, that's what I call crazy.
Reveal your past?
You came after our family
to avenge your brother's death.
You left that part out of your testimony.
You call that revealing your past?
What about the $200,000 you received?
Most people don't care about that.
What matters is whether
I get my son back or not.
Isn't that the most important thing?
Your son?
You've completely lost your mind.
You're completely delusional.
You're right. I have lost my mind.
How could I not?
You and Yeonhui fooled me.
You had a fake-divorce just to kick me out.
You think I don't know what you're up to?
Fine. Think what you will.
But make sure you remember this.
No matter how hard you try,
you will never get Jinwu.
Chuja, you must be so tired.
We finished everything today.
Doesn't it feel rewarding to have finished
everything we were supposed to do?
Ow, my back.
Hello?
Oh, my! Sangryeol!
What? In front of the house?
Who's here? Who is it?
Okay. I'll be right out.
What will I do?
Sangryeol's out front!
What? You told him where we lived?
Yeah, he dropped me off one day.
Okay. Go see him.
Who is it?
What are you doing here?
I'm sorry to intrude.
Come in, Sangryeol.
I know you must've missed me,
but you should've waited.
You didn't have to come here!
Sit. Come sit here.
You even brought me a rose?
Thank you.
I'm so touched.
Sangryeol, thank you so much.
Wait here.
I'll get you something to drink.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Sit, just for a moment.
You're so gorgeous.
I came to see you, actually.
What?
I heard you were single.
As I said before,
I want to live on a cottage with you
and make a Sangryeol Jr. with you.
Or maybe twins. Triplets...
It's amazing to have finally found
my better half, my Sangryeol
Drink up.
Have some, Sangryeol.
It's a mixed-grain drink. Drink up.
I'm so glad I found you,
my better half, my Sangryeol
Oh, my.
I can't believe this.
He's a total player!
What does Ssangsun see in him?
He scares me.
Ms. Lee.
I mean, Miranda.
Yes, chef?
I want to ask you something.
By any chance...
Never mind.
Sit.
You can't bring something up
and then not say it.
You should know better than to do that.
It's a difficult question to ask.
Fine, then. I'm just going to say it.
Is Ms. Jeong pregnant?
What?
Are you insane?
See? That's why I didn't want to ask.
Geez.
Congratulations. You're 4 weeks pregnant.
4 weeks pregnant?
What am I supposed to do now?
Oh, dear...
CEO, Lee Hwayeong Sues Wealthy Heir for Child Custody
She must be out of her mind!
Yikes!
What is it?
Huija fainted?
Huija. Are you alright?
She's fine. I gave her some medicine.
What'd the doctor say?
Was it her blood pressure?
Jinsuk.
Yes?
I don't think I'll be alive for much longer.
I can't live like this.
How can I endure this humiliation?
Don't say that. Please.
Do you know how many calls
I had to answer in the last hour or so?
So many different news networks...
How did they even get our number?
The calls were coming in nonstop.
How did they get our number?
Did Hwayeong give our number out?
Reporters do that kind of thing for a living.
It wouldn't be hard for them to find.
Call Attorney Shin.
Tell him to sue for defamation and slander.
We'll say we weren't involved with her
and countersue her.
What did Yeonhui say?
Does she know what's going on?
Of course.
It's not like this is a case that can be settled.
She'll fight to the bitter end.
Hello?
It's me.
Hi, Seongbin.
I'm sorry.
I should've stopped the press release.
Through what means?
It wasn't your fault.
Don't worry too much.
Hwayeong's bound to lose.
Plus, you've got a really great lawyer.
The only person you cant really count on
is Attorney Lee.
You know that, right?
Yeah. Thanks, Seongbin.
Why do you look so sad?
Aren't you getting off work?
I'm sorry about this morning.
I couldn't have gotten here without your help.
I should be thanking you over and over again,
I have no idea what drove me to say that.
I must've been out of my mind.
Even close friends fight from time to time.
To be honest...
I was really scared of you earlier.
Just a second.
Hello?
Mom! Are you still at work?
Aren't you getting off work?
Yeah, Jinwu. I'll leave soon.
Come home soon.
I've been waiting for you all day.
Okay. I'm headed out now.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
It's been hard to meet you lately.
Oh, wait...
It's hard to get you on the phone too.
What's this?
You're loitering in front of my house now?
I could've chosen not to loiter and gone
in to meet my future mother-in-law.
Shall we go in together?
Get in.
Drink.
You didn't spike my drink, did you?
I know that's something you would do.
Why can't you trust me?
Humans are the only creatures
who lie, steal and decieve.
And among those humans,
you're the best at those things.
How can I trust you?
You're the one who ruined my life.
You must be joking.
You're the one who ruined my life.
I ruined your life?
Fine. Let's say that's true.
But what?
You'll sue for custody of your surrogate child?
After you abandoned your real child,
you want to take back your surrogate child?
Find me my child!
The son you abandoned.
Find him right now!
How can a person be so shameless?
You said the child you bore 10 years ago
was dead and thrown away,
but you'll sue to get back your surrogate child?
After I get Jinwu back...
It'll take some time.
Do I really need to believe that?
Why didn't you say it at the press release?
While you were on TV you could've
asked everyone to look
for the child you bore 10 years ago!
Why? Why couldn't you do it?
The child we made together
is some sort of dirty secret,
but your surrogate child
is more precious to you than life itself?
Stop it already!
I got pregnant when you
forced yourself on me.
You expect me to love that child?
That child would be a constant reminder
of that nightmare you put me through.
He'd be a constant reminder of you!
How could I raise him?
You loved me then too.
No! No!
Not even for a second?
You never loved me,
not even for one single moment?
Was I really that disgusting to you?
As you requested,
I met with John Wilson.
Even though I despise you,
when you said you'd find my child,
I believed you.
But afterwards, you kept avoiding my calls.
You were just using me!
Lee Hwayeong!
I don't trust you anymore.
No... I can't trust you.
Don't think that I'm done with you yet.
If I was going to just give up like this,
I would've never even started.
