Flames of Ambition
Episode 11
Aigoo!
Come on in, General Nam.
I've been waiting for you.
I always tell myself to pay you a visit, so I'm really glad you came.
I should have come a lot earlier.
Hearing that someone as strong as you collapsed really shocked me.
All your concerns helped me get back on my feet, as you can see.
Here... Let's go inside.
Hurry up and come in, the breeze is cold.
All right, then.
I guess you can wait outside and enjoy the view?!
Always lock the door, and don't let Minjae skip meals.
Yes, Ma'am.
What are you doing there? Aren't you getting ready to leave?
There's a board meeting in the afternoon.
Your mother is looking for you.
So you're going to go down to Ulsan every time she asks for you?
Now she's counting on you and I,
after only looking for your sister-in-law in cases like this.
You can go by yourself, it will be nothing serious anyway.
What's wrong with you?
I should ask you that question.
I said your mother is looking for you!
If you're trying to create a rift between me and my brother, better give up now.
There is going to be a rift between you two, anyway.
What I mean is that only one of you will survive this.
Wow... Nice house, all right.
Thought I'd enjoy my final years, so I spared no expenses.
Are you going to retire already?
If my time has come, shouldn't I?
Chairman Kim.
The reason why I fought off my friends' opposition to grant you that chairman's seat...
is because I thought you were a man of loyalty.
I know.
So can you really be so ungrateful to us?
I wouldn't really put it that way.
You wouldn't?!
Is a handful of rice enough to make a sumptuous banquet?
I poured my sweat and tears into making Atlantic Group what it is today.
And who is denying all your efforts?
I'm just telling you it's time to enjoy your hard-earned rest.
Haven't you built yourself the perfect place for it?
Listen, General Nam.
Don't you think it's time to stop mooching out of our plate?
I see our Chairman Kim doesn't beat around the bush?
Am I wrong?
I'd feel a little shame asking for more food after acting as if this was an all-you-can-eat buffet.
What are you, trying to rile me up for real?
You've had a long trip, so enjoy the view and have a nice rest.
We're full of empty rooms here.
And you can have all the raw fish you want.
Is anyone there?
Here I am, Chairman.
Give our General Nam the driver's room for the night, will you?
But I'd worry about my waistline if I were you.
Keep mooching off of people's plates and it'll be bad for your health.
What am I supposed to do?
Don't you worry.
We have plenty of empty rooms upstairs.
I've had a good look at the house, so I better go, Ma'am.
So how did it go, Dad?
Ahh... La... Later.
Give it here.
Yes, Hyungnim.
Aeri, is that you?
I'm so sorry, Uncle.
I tried to handle this on my own, but...
No need to worry.
I'll show that Kim Taejin who he's dealing with once and for all.
Sorry to bother you, Uncle.
I really apologize.
- Hyung. - Don't say a thing.
Let's go to Ulsan together.
Why would I go there?
Dad and I made a promise,
and since he was the first to break it,
I have no intention of getting involved any longer.
What did you promise each other?
No need to know.
It's between Dad and I.
I'll be damned, really...
I should be the one saying that.
What?
By the morning, the principal you have to pay will double.
Do as you wish, sue me or whatever.
We can't do that to each other, can we?
You know what happens to glass when caught between two rocks?
This is not your average little quarrel.
My father-in-law and my uncle are going at each other's throats.
Aigoo... How scary.
Park Deokseong.
We've had a military junta for over three decades.
He could get rid of you without breaking a sweat.
Want to know how I'd answer that?
My father values money more than his own life.
Even if you bury me alive, he won't even blink once.
Now he even uses his father to make excuses...
First it was your in-laws.
Aigoo... Looks like I'll have to spend some time here.
Mother.
Mother, where are you?
Ohh... I'm here.
So what happened, Mother?
Listen... The chairman is really something.
He started chiding him so bad...
that he had to leave without even saying a word.
It must have really startled you, Mother.
You're all pale.
Do you even know how scary General Nam can be?
Back in the day, he would just slap ministers left and right,
and there was nothing they could do.
Mother, let me help you up, I'll give you a massage.
I'm glad you came.
Seeing you already makes me feel better.
What is there to worry about, Mother?
Youngmin and I will always be here by your side.
So don't you worry about a thing.
All right?
Right.
Let's go.
Is it proceeding well?
Yes, Hyungnim.
Does it hurt?
Not at all.
That new complex Atlantic's construction branch is building is a goldmine.
Can we let someone else steal that event from under our noses?
I will bear that in mind.
Hey.
Ahh... Those fools...
Why bother his face, of all places? Look at all this.
So let's do things right, don't mess up.
Yes, Hyungnim...
How could you leave Minjae all by himself?
Have anything else to say?
We wrapped up things in the US and came back to Seoul...
on May 14 of ten years ago, a Sunday.
And?
Yang Insuk's car accident happened a few days earlier, on Wednesday May 11.
That's quite the memory.
I've read all the newspapers from that day.
A local paper in Flushing briefly mentioned it.
About an unidentified woman involved in a hit & run around Koreatown.
I told you already.
I killed her.
So someone who never trusts anything I say would believe that?
- Was it really you? - Of course not.
But I told you, if you want to believe that, go ahead.
Tell me the truth.
I've read that newspaper, too.
Before we came back to Seoul,
I went to meet Yang Insuk thinking I'd at least give her some money.
I must be out of my mind. Why am I even making excuses?!
So... Did you meet?
We didn't.
I went to her apartment, and the door was locked.
So I wrote a memo and left it there, telling her we needed to meet urgently.
There were no signs of her, so I went looking for her the day before we left.
The memo was still there.
Then I went looking for her again when Minjae went to school in Philadelphia.
That's when I heard.
The administrator said she'd been in a car accident and was taken to the hospital.
I asked him whether she made it alive, and if so, how serious the injuries were,
and he said he didn't know.
He just said this Korean man came to pick up her things and left.
There you go, that is all I know.
So go ahead and speak to me!
If you say no, I'll just have to believe you.
Why can't you trust me?
Do I really look that wicked to you?
The only thing you can blame me for is raising Minjae instead of her.
I only tried to protect Minjae so that she wouldn't ruin his life.
I just wanted to hear it from you.
Hear what?!
That you had nothing to do with it.
You still don't believe me!
I do... I believe you.
I don't care if you love me or not.
But don't take Minjae away from me.
Who ever said anyone would take him away from you?
You still think I killed her!
I said I believe you!
Minjae is all I have... I beg you, don't take him away from me.
Honey...
Honey!
Honey.
Honey!
Nayoung.
Nayoung!
Honey.
Hey... Don't just sit here.
You're killing the mood.
What's wrong, Minjae?
Minjae...
Hey...
What's wrong with you?
Let go.
I said let go!
Didn't I tell you that love can change?
Who I was after isn't you, it's Kim Seongjae.
Playboy Kim Seongjae.
Let go...
I said let go!
I almost risked falling for you.
So, what, purity is born when you fall in love with someone?
Meaning that even Baek Ingi can be born again, right?
You're not being yourself.
What?
I know.
What kind of woman you are.
The scars you have to cope with every day, all that suffering.
And how would you know that?
Because I am exactly like you.
I will come to your rescue.
Even if the world you live in is surrounded by the flames of hell,
I will come for you.
What I need is not a hypocrite like you.
I need someone like Kim Seongjae.
Someone free of any concern.
People who just go on eating three times a day, and hitting on women.
Want to know why?
Even if I told you, you'd never understand.
Since, unlike me, you've never been abandoned.
Let go!
I thought Baek Ingi made herself clear, what's wrong with you?
I said let go!
Let go!
You must come out of there!
You shouldn't even be there!
- Let go! - Sorry... I'm sorry...
Look what hitting on such naive guys gets you...
To lighten up the mood, I'll sing a song.
Let go!
And as I face this loneliness,
My heart writhes in pain.
How much more suffering will I have to endure to forget you?
As you flutter away like the wind,
Don't resent this love of ours.
Should we one day meet once again,
Let's promise not to ask each other anything.
Don't forget.
Don't you ever forget me,
Even if this wretched world keeps us apart.
As you flutter away like the wind,
Don't resent this love of ours.
Should we one day meet once again,
Let's promise not to ask each other anything.
O, my love.
Minjae.
There is nothing you can do.
Baek Ingi didn't become a star all by herself.
It is only thanks to the people who found me aimlessly wandering on the street,
who fed me, gave me clothes,
and helped me become an actress.
I must become a lot more famous than I am now.
Only when there is a line of producers waiting to throw money at me,
begging me to star in their film, I will be able to do whatever I want.
You can't help me.
And neither can your mother.
Are we clear, Minjae?
Stop with all those dreams of trying to become my Prince Charming.
Goodbye.
Are you awake?
How are you feeling?
Where am I?
Right...
Honey.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't suspecting you.
It's just that I don't know a thing about you,
since I've always been trying to ignore you all these years.
It doesn't matter to me.
I'm sorry, Honey.
Look at me.
I'm grateful for how you raised Minjae.
If it weren't for you, Minjae might have not been born to begin with.
I know what kind of woman Yang Insuk was.
Why are you doing this?
I guess all that indifference has grown on me by now.
You know this?
What?
How I felt when Yang Insuk's brother came looking for me,
telling me that she had died in a car accident.
It actually felt good,
as Minjae's face instantly came to mind.
You can't imagine how worried I was that our secret would one day be revealed.
I might have been feeling guilty at the sole thought,
but I was happy to hear that.
So we finally end up on the same page.
Honey.
Minjae must never find out, no matter what.
You won't tell him, right?
Minjae...
Minjae is your son.
Thanks, Honey.
Thanks...
Yes.
Aigoo.
So you finally regained your consciousness.
I apologize.
I wasn't used to that house, so I suddenly lost my footing.
I took a look at your x-ray scans,
and there were no particular injuries.
Your bones are fine as well.
Thank you.
She can be discharged whenever you prefer.
Yes. Thank you.
Wait here a second, I'll go deal with all the paperwork for your discharge.
I'll be waiting here.
I'm sure she didn't even realize it,
since she underwent surgery while still unconscious.
Was she pregnant?
Yes.
It was so early on that even one of our most skilled doctors couldn't notice it, so...
Don't tell your wife anything.
It will only make her feel worse.
If you don't believe me, go ask the missus.
You want to leave already?
The doctor said I could go.
I had been having trouble with this nausea,
but it just vanished out of the blue?!
I see...
Wait a moment.
I can't be pregnant, can I?
It could be that...
How could that be possible?
After Minjae was born, I...
No... Anyway, what I meant...
I just had that kind of presentiment, that's all.
Considering that you forced yourself... Anyhow...
I knew something would be up.
But you said that you can't get pregnant.
When did I say that?
I just said it was because of you.
You were so worried about Minjae that you never even touched me.
I mean... Anyway...
I saw how often you had nausea, so I asked the doctor.
You did?
Shall we go now?
Honey.
I want to have a child with you.
I want to give birth to your child.
Don't you worry about Minjae.
Even if I give birth to my own child, I'll love him even more.
- Here you go. - Yes. Thank you.
Ajumma, your change!
They found Hyejin.
Hurry up and come.
Really?
We got a call from this orphanage run by a church.
They said that this girl looking just like Hyejin was there.
Which church is that?
- St. Paul Orphanage -
I come from Ulsan.
You know Heo Seonsaengnim from the orphanage, right?
You were looking for this girl, right?
Yes.
It's the photo I sent you.
I can't speak for sure,
but we once had one girl looking like her.
How old was she again?
About twelve or thirteen?
Something like that.
Then, it must be her.
It must be Hyejin.
Why?
Her name wasn't Hyejin.
I think it was either Miyoung or Migyeong?
I guess it's an alias.
She ran away from home, think she would use her real name?
Anyhow, please come in.
Nice shots, at least.
I'm sorry, Hyungnim.
Good job.
You still haven't sobered up?
Eonni.
You remember your mother's face?
How am I supposed to do that, when I never met her?
In case she was alive somewhere, and you had the chance to meet her,
then...
How would you feel?
I don't know.
Would you feel happy?
It's still your mother, after all.
Tell me.
What would it feel like?
Who knows...
Never really thought about that before.
Still, you would be happy to meet her, wouldn't you?
It'd still be the same woman who abandoned me,
but I think I'd be happy to see her.
And of course I would also resent her.
What's wrong with you?
Have you heard news about your mother?
Sometimes I'd wonder what she might look like.
And I always wanted to ask her why she gave birth to me,
and what moved her to abandon her daughter.
If I ever got the chance to meet her.
But I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.
And should it happen...
It'd be something.
Wouldn't it?
She'd probably try to deny it.
Who would ever admit that she abandoned her own daughter?
If she was that kind of person,
she wouldn't have needed to abandon her daughter in the first place.
Ingi.
You promised that you'd never talk about that again.
Even if you do find her, she'll only be a burden to you.
I'm actually scared she might find you.
How well off can someone who abandoned her child really be?
It's obvious.
The moment she finds out who you are,
she'd be groveling at your feet looking for money.
But I have a lot of money, Eonni.
Even if that's all I'll get, I'd rather get to meet her again.
I'll give her anything she asks from me.
Since no matter how wretched a person she might have been,
she still is my one and only mother.
I'd rather have one like that than none.
Go take a shower.
Let's go out for a drive.
I said I want to see her.
I want to see what the woman who abandoned me looks like.
I will one day witness her kneel down and beg me for forgiveness.
If we really meet, I'll beat her to a pulp,
until blood covers her whole face.
Then I'll at least feel a little better, won't I?
Don't you agree, Eonni?
Stop it, Eonni!
I'll just go to sleep.
I said let's go for a drive.
You're starting again with that mother bug of yours!
Go in.
Ajumma.
How can you just stand outside a parking lot like that?
I almost ran you over!
I apologize.
Thought I'd get a heart attack.
Ajumma!
Ahh... How annoying.
Just a moment.
Ajumma, what are you, crazy?
Why do you keep getting in the way?
What are you, a fan of hers?
You want an autograph?
Don't you recognize me?
Ingi.
She's asking if you know her.
Just go.
Ajumma.
She doesn't know you, got it?
It's you, right?
You're Hyejin, right?
Come.
Get out!
It was really cold, that day.
If that nun hadn't come out to get you,
you would have frozen to death out here.
Remember what you told me back then?
That someone left you at the orphanage when you were a baby,
and then you were adopted by an elder couple,
but since their sons mistreated you, you had to run away.
Was that just a lie?
Ingi.
It's from here that your life started again.
Forget the past, you have no mother!
Told you, didn't I?
That I'd beat her until blood covered her entire face.
Ingi, what's wrong with you?
What do you think helped me endure all these years?
What?
What do you think helped me survive all these years?
Anyhow, you're really something.
Despite falling down those stairs, you're just fine.
Just fine? Have you forgot how long I've been unconscious?
I don't see a single bruise.
Hey.
Let's stop talking about that.
I feel so sorry I could die...
Why would you feel sorry?
I hear it happened after she argued with her husband.
Who, me?
That's not true.
I... didn't say a thing.
Aigoo... Nayoung.
Your husband already told her everything.
That you argued over Minjae.
Anyhow... I even told you not to mention it in her presence...
The cat is already out of the bag.
Listen to you...
Aigoo... I'll have to really let that cat out, while you're still here.
You know how she got to marry the chairman, Nayoung?
I don't know.
Shut that trap!
I just got started...
Keep it up, will you...
Youngdae's mother passed away after giving birth to her second son.
Really?
You never heard of this?
No, I had no idea.
All right, fine.
I'll tell my friend in Shinmun-Ro and set up a meeting with Youngjae.
Really, Mother?
Guess it went back inside the bag already...
- Mother... - Aww... Stop acting like a kid.
So you promised.
She was just perfect for Minjae...
Did I upset you, Nayoung?
Of course not... Minjae's still so young.
Right. We need to find an even more suitable candidate for him.
Mother, start hanging out with all those chaebol wives.
Even General Nam can't say a thing in Father's presence,
why should we always act so submissive?
We can just live up to our prestige and marry all the kids off.
Will it really be all right with you?
Even if I introduce Youngjae to them?
Of course, Mother. It's perfectly fine with me.
What General Nam said is right.
If it weren't for him, Atlantic Group wouldn't have existed.
At the end of their regime, the military junta set their sights on me.
I had to do something and secure my future,
but I couldn't find anyone I could really trust.
And that is why they came to me.
Since Kim Taejin looked like a honest enough fella,
and would certainly not cross them.
Still, Atlantic Group's success is fruit of my efforts alone.
They might have backed me and helped set things in motion,
but who could ever make it big without their support?
That is nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm sure Youngjae and Youngjun understand.
We sure do, Father.
You might not agree with it, but that's just part of this business.
You remember the IMF crisis?
How many chaebol groups were ruined back then?
But Atlantic Group survived through it just fine.
Better yet, it turned that crisis into an opportunity to grow even bigger.
And why do you think that happened?
Youngmin, you answer.
You don't know?
Wasn't he still living in the US back then? Father...
Because of how strong our family was.
A corporation based on the family first and foremost...
will do everything in its power to protect their fortune.
But I'm sure you disagree, Youngjun?
I do.
And I agree with the fact that management and capital should be separated.
It's certainly what should happen in the long run.
Come here.
I found the perfect spot to build our shipyard.
Youngjun, your wife's efforts were of great help.
Thanks to her, General Nam and I entered a conflict that will bring me great benefits.
By now, he must be desperately trying to settle all those Central Shipbuilding drafts.
Then, you planned it all along...
Don't blame your wife over this.
She might be a little fierce and ambitious,
but I'm sure all this taught her something.
Are we clear, Youngjun?
Yes.
It's the dream of a lifetime.
That of building a fine shipyard before I go.
And we didn't even realize that...
But the fight is not over yet.
The minister, General Nam...
And all those backing them.
Right as we speak, they must be plotting how to take over Atlantic Group.
Which is why you three must join forces.
If you all fight together, what would you possibly have to fear?
Yes, Father...
- We will fulfill your wishes, and... - Also...
Once we've dealt with this,
out of you three, only one will remain,
and the other two will leave the company.
What?
Because if you all remain there, conflict is guaranteed.
Are we clear?
Promise that only one will stay, and the other two will leave.
I will bear it in mind, Father.
Don't you worry about me, Father.
Youngdae, how about you?
Yes, Father... I'm already prepared to leave.
That's nice to hear, I guess.
- But I truly mean what... - All right.
I'm glad you understand my purpose.
Father, have a pleasant night.
So I guess Youngjun can take over, and Youngmin will go back to teaching.
Isn't that what he meant, anyway?
I'm sorry, Hyungnim.
I think I'll have to go back to Seoul right now.
At this hour?
Just thought I should be by my wife's side tonight.
Ahh... Sure, of course.
With that personality of hers, I'm sure she must be fuming.
Youngmin.
See you in Seoul.
- Yes... Hyung. - No need to bother.
Youngmin, how about you? I can't really figure out what Dad is thinking.
Can you?
Isn't it just as he said?
That we might join forces, but then only one should stay?
I'll go upstairs.
Sure... You said your wife wasn't feeling well, right?
Good night, Hyungnim.
Youngmin.
I don't really think it's what he meant.
What are you trying to say?
It would be natural for Youngjun or me to inherit the company,
since you've always had different interests.
So he should have said that one of us would have to stay.
Which is why I think he is eying you for the job.
I'll go back to teaching.
Must feel nice... Having something to fall back to.
You scare me a lot more than Youngjun.
Or at least your wife does.
Vice Chairman, we arrived.
Good job.
Just sit.
It's so late... Buy your kids some candies.
Thank you, Vice Chairman.
You must be elated,
since everything went as you wished for.
Why are you still up?
It's two in the morning already.
Think I could catch sleep?
I could hear you laughing at me in Ulsan from here.
That's just a chip on your shoulder.
Nobody laughed at you.
A chip on my shoulder?
Go apologize to my father, and that'll be the end of it.
This game is not over yet.
Don't get strange ideas.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to keep turning your back on me?
Honey, please.
Let's just stop this.
Make your choice.
- Either you're on my side, or... - Or?
Or else, what will you do?
Let's divorce.
Divorce?!
Why do you think I'm doing this?
It's all to help you become owner of Atlantic Group,
but you're trying to stop me every step of the way.
Think I can't figure out what your father is scheming?
He merely wants my father to be ousted from power,
so he can have a puppet take his place,
and eventually gain control of the group. Am I wrong?
I can't believe it...
You still can't understand what your father really wants?
All he has eyes for is not you, but Youngmin.
How gullible...
Whomever he chooses, that's up to him.
You must make sure you are chosen.
And if you only helped me, I could make that happen.
Because if you all remain there, conflict is guaranteed.
Promise that only one will stay, and the other two will leave.
I'm never going to lose.
Whatever destiny lies ahead of me,
nothing will make me surrender.
I will fight to the bitter end and succeed.
I can do it. I will.
For my husband.
For Minjae.
No...
For me.
Remember, Nayoung.
All the humiliation you had to suffer when you were poor.
The hunger, the despair...
You must get your revenge, Nayoung.
Whatever it takes.
That's right...
Give me thunder and lightning,
so I can hit all the people I hate and blow them to smithereens.
Let my tears of vengeance pour down on this entire world!
I still had some left?
It's cold already.
You always keep bringing me coffee, so it makes me feel so guilty I can't come anymore.
What's that supposed to mean? You should come even more often if you do.
- I'll pay you more, then. - Forget it.
It's all right, Ajumma. I have plenty of money.
I know, you're from a chaebol clan.
That's not what I meant...
Wait...
Should I read your palms?
You even know how to do that?
You know all the divine skills I've been blessed with.
Show me your hands.
First, the left.
The left is your past.
I already know my past, anyway.
Got a point?!
Open your palm wide.
Let's see...
Can you really see something?
I see you're liking someone?
Guess you must really like that Baek Ingi.
No... It's all over.
No... I shouldn't even say that.
Since nothing ever started anyway.
Still, I can read "work in progress" right here?
Where?
Where does it say that?
Let's take another look.
Go ahead and tell me. Where does it say that?
Come on in.
What a lovely atmosphere...
What's wrong with you?
What else do you want?
Hey... Can't I even come drink a tea?
How nasty...
That's what I should say about you.
You sold off your own son, and now start prancing around him all the time.
Is it all that refined?
Ahh... Motherly love?!
So that's the reason, I guess.
I'll beg.
I'll do anything you ask.
But please, don't ever hang around Minjae.
I miss him too, what else can I do?
You what?
I'm still your brother, after all...
Wait, should I say "hustler"?!
Anyhow, it's your son, of course I'm curious to see how my nephew is doing.
Fine... I'm going.
So don't get angry and relax, Insuk.
Try to tell Minjae a single word, and...
Did I make myself clear?
Why would I tell him that? Like I'd gain anything from it.
If they find out he's your son, think they'd just let it slide?
You'll find yourself sleeping with the fishes the morning after.
Hey!
All right... I'm going.
Don't forget.
That I'm still alive.
And that I need to make a living.
I'll get going, Ajumma.
Really?
Thanks for the coffee.
He's a bad person, right? That guy.
Who?
He's bothering you, right?
No.
You looked sad the moment he came in?!
It's not that...
He's a friend's brother, and she...
You don't need to make excuses.
I knew it the moment I saw him.
That this bad ajeosshi was bothering our kind ajumma.
I'll really go now.
It's not that.
Just say the word.
I'll take care of him.
Ajumma.
Smile.
Okay.
See? Now you look happy.
Mom, when did you get back?
Just now.
I was making your favorite, egg sandwich.
Mom.
I've heard you hurt yourself.
It's nothing serious.
Mom, careful where you walk.
You risked getting hurt in the States a few times.
Come here, Minjae.
Let me give my boy a hug.
Mom.
If you give me a hug, then all the pain will go away.
Your father won points with Grandfather today.
Did Aunt Aeri surrender?
Where did you hear that?
All the cousins were gossiping about it.
You don't need to worry about that, it's all stuff for grown-ups.
Give me a second.
Your sandwiches are almost ready.
We repeated that MRI three times.
The vein here is slightly clogged.
Is it serious?
Not really.
And since your father is taking his medicines, things will get better.
So if drugs can treat a clogged vein,
then it's not that serious.
It's not.
But aside from this one, there are risks of other veins getting clogged.
At his age, it's pretty common.
Anyhow, that's a relief.
Go through a check-up as well.
It would be better to have one every year.
You reached that age by now.
I'll see when I have time.
Doctor Yoon.
I had something else to ask you.
This friend of mine in the States was sued.
What did he do?
He had a vasectomy when he was young.
Even if it's been twenty years since, could he still be fertile?
It's certainly possible.
But he said he didn't go through a reversal procedure.
On certain occasions, it can return to normal by itself.
So that's why mishaps are always a possibility.
Some even sue their wives for adultery.
I guess that's possible.
But aren't you talking about yourself?
No...
This friend of mine living in the States had an affair,
and got this woman he was seeing pregnant.
If they do a DNA test, they could find out right away.
I suppose they could.
He did say that they did one, and turns out it's his child.
That's why you always need to be careful.
Take that lightly and you could always risk getting pregnant.
Honey.
Honey, are you all right?
- What did Doctor Yoon say? - He said it's nothing serious.
What a relief.
I was so worried something went wrong with him...
It's mine. Just a moment.
Yes, it's me.
I was just about to call and thank you.
Where.... All right.
I'll see you there.
Honey.
I'm going out a second.
Just a moment.
Where are you going?
So how should I prove my gratitude?
Nayoung.
I'm near your house.
I was just passing by, and suddenly your face came to mind.
So I couldn't resist the urge.
I had to see you.
So let's just meet, come out.
Don't delude yourself, Deokseong.
I'm not the kind of woman you can play around with anymore.
Aww... Really...
Hello?
How dare you hang up on me?
Why isn't this working?
No matter how hard I try, it doesn't work.
Aigoo... Is it congenital or something?
I can't even whistle...
Who killed Yang Insuk?
It was you, right?
You're the only one who knows she died in a car accident.
I can't breathe!
Speak!
You killed her and tried to frame my wife for the murder, didn't you?
I don't know...
I was just guessing.
Aigoo, man.
Keep it up and someone will get hurt!
How can you act like this?
I'm sorry, all right?
I had to find a way to make a living, so I tried to leech some money that way.
Was wondering how you'd react.
And if I do help you make a living, where will you live?
The States? Or...
How could I possibly live here?
If I get my hands on some money, I'll just go back to the States.
Let's meet again tomorrow, same place and same time.
God bless you!
Where did my wife go?
She just went outside here a moment.
Outside the house?
Yes.
Get in.
What if someone sees you?
Guess you're scared, after all.
And so what?
We dated a little back in the day and then you got married.
Is your husband narrow-minded enough to complain about that?
Sure... I missed you, too.
Let's go.
It's been such a long time... Let's go somewhere and "talk it out."
What's wrong?
You were all over me on the phone?!
Afraid you're in no position to act like this with me.
What did I say?
Because a word from me, and they'll kick you out of there.
Wouldn't they think you got married with a clean slate?
No... I guess your husband might suspect something.
Ehh... Let's just stop.
I better, before I'm forced to talk about such vulgarity.
And why don't you continue?
Have you forgotten already?
When you showed up at my door all knocked up, making a mess?
Right...
What happened to that child?
Told you it died.
You did.
I feel relieved.
Finally seeing you show your true colors.
You're forcing it out of me.
Then, how about you?
What did I do?
Is all that money you flaunt even yours?
It's not even your father's, it's your in-laws' money.
What are you talking about?
Told you my father hit the jackpot with his real estate dealings.
I guess you could say that.
Although he didn't give his son a single penny.
I hear your wife is even worse than me?!
Who said that?
I hear you're just hanging from her lips?!
And how would you know that?
Might have done a little homework.
Think about it.
Wouldn't we eventually meet like this, down the line?
Think I'd let you screw me again without putting up a fight?
Because if I meet your wife and tell her that I'm still raising the...
child we had together back then,
I'm sure your in-laws will be jumping in celebration?!
"Aigoo... Did you?!"
"So give us that child, will you? It'll get all our affection and care."
You said you got rid of it.
Who knows... Might still be alive.
You really...
Get out.
I still remember what you paid those thugs to do to me.
Let me go!
Even when those thugs were beating me to a pulp,
I didn't let them violate me until the very end.
And you know why?
Because I still trusted you.
Because I was afraid that if they raped me, I'd be abandoned.
I touched the bottom of the barrel and got back on my feet.
I fell into the pits of hell and came back.
So you really think I would be afraid of anything?
Nayoung.
Think I called you because I had anything in mind?
It's just the memories coming back...
Thank you for what you did.
I won some points with my in-laws thanks to you.
So keep helping me, will you?
It's better for the both of us.
Aigoo...
When will our boy grow up?!
I had a vasectomy right after.
You hated me that much?
He said you might have a miscarriage, so...
We will build the world's top shipyard.
Kim Youngmin will be put in charge of it.
Just do what he says. Have you seen what he gave to you?
Whatever it takes, I'll make your father the owner of Atlantic Group.
We'll have to fight with him.
And help my husband become owner.
Think General Nam would let this slide?
He'll mobilize all his lackeys and go at us full force.
If his secret fund is exposed, it's a trip to the can...
- But I hear she prefers Minjae? - Should Minjae get married at that age?
Baek Ingi wants to meet you.
Minjae has this strange power to force kindness out of everyone he's with.
Tell me, you didn't already know each other, did you?
