(Episode 67)
Secretary, if you're done with the documents,
can you sign...
I'm looking through them now!
I'm sorry.
Also...
What now?
Why do you keep annoying me?
Secretary Byeon called you to his office...
Fine. You may go.
Yes...
What's wrong?
What did the secretary say?
I don't know.
She gets mad at me for no reason.
Your salary from the company...
Includes the price for your tears.
When you're standing on the cliff of life...
You need a boyfriend.
You're the cliff in my life!
Gosh...
You called for me.
I picked an ugly tree...
And trimmed it to be fancy and elegant...
But look.
It grew its branches however it pleased.
When this happens...
I must...
Cut them off without hesitation.
And if it still doesn't grow the way I want...
It's better to uproot it.
Hong Sunbok.
You're useless to me now.
Mr. Byeon...
I've tried to trim you...
But you're still hopeless.
So what else to do with you?
But to uproot you and toss you out.
Also...
The issue with Maeum...
I should take it upon myself...
To inform the Chairman.
Not Maeum.
He's my son.
Please save me.
Save you?
It wasn't long ago when you used my
weaknesses to act arrogant and threaten me.
And now you fall on your knees and beg?
I can't lose Maeum and return to being Hong Sunbok.
Hong Sunbok is already dead.
I can't become a dead person.
Please save me, Mr. Byeon.
My hands...
Hold too many of your weaknesses?
I can turn you into a murderer...
I can reveal Maeum's secret.
Please give me one more chance.
I'll do everything you tell me to.
- Where did it go? / - Where is it?
- Goodness. / - Where?
Where is it?
What's going on?
She's lost something again.
It's not her doll. What could it be?
I found it.
I found it. Our Jiyu is here.
- It's Jiyu... / - What the?
Were you looking for Jiyu?
Yes. My Jiyu.
I had something to tell you. Where did you go?
Jiyu.
I need to tell you this.
What is it, Mrs. Park?
What I wanted to tell you was...
Well, it was...
Well...
What did I need to tell you?
Oh...
She must've wanted to tell you the entire time.
Imagine how hard it was on her
not being able to tell you.
I should take her to the hospital.
I agree. Go and find out how she's doing.
I'll take her.
You have a lot on your plate.
This is where I belong.
This is where Chae Seorin belongs.
Until the end...
This is where I belong.
What do you think you're doing?
I thought it'd match your tie.
You look handsome, honey.
Fine.
You can step on me and ignore me...
But my love for you won't change.
I will remain as your wife and I am Maeum's mom.
You've got to be kidding.
I'll do my best.
Let's do our best together for Maeum's sake.
Of course I'll do my best.
I'll do my best to kick you out of this house.
It's Secretary Byeon.
I've never seen those men before.
Director Kim and Director Park.
They're core members of the board.
How do you know that?
I have everyone at this company stored in my head.
You must be a genius.
Secretary Byeon is meeting the core board members.
He's the Chief Secretary after all.
He's probably running an errand for the Chairman.
I see.
I didn't know the Chairman's health was failing.
We must appoint the successor soon.
It is bad for the company...
If it is unstable for too long.
That's my concern too.
Director Yu Gangu is handling company matters
as the acting chairman.
But the chairman would like to know
what the directors think.
We'll have to think it over first.
I'm surprised. I thought you'd be all for it.
The future of the company is at stake.
Either supporting or opposing it without thinking
is dangerous, don't you think?
We should think hard about it.
They aren't blindly in support.
This means there is some hope.
Since I've already prepared...
Many causes for removing Gangu.
Look into which of them...
We can turn to our side...
And report back to me.
I understand.
Also...
About Maeum.
Are you sure it's been taken care of?
It's war from here on out.
You must not have any weaknesses.
If anything gets in your way,
you must take proper care of it.
If you disappoint me one more time...
You will not get another chance.
It makes me nervous...
That Gangu and Jiyu have my weakness.
Are you referring to the voice recording they made?
Yu Gangu recorded me with his phone.
We must delete it.
If it gets revealed...
Mr. Byeon will discard me.
Then he'll get everything all by himself.
We must find it and delete it.
You check Kang Jiyu.
I'll check Yu Gangu.
I think Secretary Byeon is meeting up with directors.
- Really? / - And plus...
He's only meeting the most influential of them.
I'm certain that Byeon Ilgu's desire...
Is to take over Mosung.
That's what I think as well.
They say that the stairway of desire
is made up of straw.
So once it starts to burn, it turns to ash in minutes.
Why can't Byeon Ilgu and Chae Seorin realize that?
Foolish people...
I don't know. It's too complicated.
Look. We're just salarymen.
Who cares who gets the company?
That's for the Yu family to worry about.
You and I...
Should just get some sleep.
What will you do...
If Secretary Byeon goes public about his desire?
We can't let someone like him take over the company.
I need to find out...
What he's planning.
I'm home.
Jiyu! I went on a date with Jichan today.
- A date? / - Yes.
We went to the hospital.
What did they say?
She's gotten worse.
She needs regular checkups now.
They've increased her medication too.
We need to take good care of her.
I know.
She saved your life.
Goodness.
I almost came down with an illness
trying to save Jiyu's life.
Jiyu, sit down.
There's something I need to tell you.
There she goes again.
The things she couldn't say before
must be haunting her.
She keeps bringing up the past.
I begged and prayed for your life every single night.
Then when you were almost due...
You had toxemia of pregnancy.
I was so scared because of that.
What happened after I had the baby?
Sunbok tried to take the baby.
So I convinced that man...
You mean Driver Oh Dongsu?
Yes.
I told him that you didn't have long to live.
That we had to let your family hold the funeral.
That's what I told him.
That Driver Oh or whatever his name is,
he saved your life.
Then...
The letter that was left at our door.
Was that from you?
That's right.
It was only after seeing Jiyu reunited with
madam and Jichan that I was able to breathe.
After that...
Sunbok caught me and sent me off to the U.S.
Your life's been so...
Thank you, Mrs. Park.
For what?
What did I just say?
It's time for your medicine.
I'll go get it, okay?
Thank you, Mrs. Park.
Stop sighing already.
All you ever do is sigh.
But then again, your first love
turned out to be a mother.
Now your chances of getting with her are zero.
You must be frustrated.
When I see Jiyu, I'm reminded of my mom.
She smiles the way mom did.
And I feel bad for her as I did for my mom.
That's why I can't stop thinking about her.
My chances maybe be zero.
You're right about that.
But I want to help her even more.
I'll get going now.
It's Maeum, right?
The child you're looking after.
Yes.
It must be tiring looking after a child.
How are you so happy?
You'll find out later too.
Jiyu!
Are you okay, Jiyu?
Are you okay?
The recording isn't in Kang Jiyu's phone.
Really? Then I'll check Yu Gangu's phone.
He was definitely targeting you.
This wasn't a random pickpocket.
Chae Seorin...
Is she up to something again?
She couldn't be...
Do you have an idea what it might be?
I think she's looking for a recording.
A recording?
We recorded Chae Seorin's confession.
Her confession to killing my mother.
I plan to protect Maeum with that.
She feels you have a weakness.
That's why she's looking for it.
She won't find it.
I will not lose it this time.
I'm worried about you.
I think it's getting more dangerous for you.
Seonho.
I'm Maeum's mother.
So...
I would like you to stop worrying about me now.
I...
Consider you a friend.
Don't you want to be friends with me?
Please let me help you as a good friend...
Who wants you to be happy.
I'm letting go of my feelings...
That made you uncomfortable.
You'll be a good mom.
Since I'm your friend...
Please let me help you in any way I can.
I'll help you...
With this today.
You have no phone or wallet.
Maeum is waiting, so take a taxi.
Here.
You haven't gone home yet.
You're really working hard.
Were you looking for this?
Your specialty must be stealing.
You must think...
You can steal and take everything.
Just because you have my weakness...
Don't let your guard down.
Just because all your secrets will remain hidden,
don't let your guard down.
They'll only remain hidden temporarily.
It's not like they'll go away.
Why are you so surprised?
It's nothing.
Were you just with Yu Gangu?
Did you tell him that I'm meeting the directors?
No. We spoke about Maeum.
I mean, we spoke about Kang Jiyu.
I want to stop her from seeing Maeum.
It makes me nervous and uncomfortable.
Do you really think he'd listen to you?
You should take care of it from the easier side.
Excuse me?
If you want to split up Maeum and Kang Jiyu...
Just move Maeum.
You can send him where
Kang Jiyu will never see him again.
Aren't I right?
Weren't you looking into sending him to the U.S.?
Yes, but...
I didn't get father's permission yet.
Secretary Chae,
you're in no position to being waiting for permission.
This is the information about my child.
Please consider his personality and food preference.
Yes, madam.
Please take lots of care...
So that he adjusts well over there.
Don't worry.
I'll see you at the airport then.
Okay.
I've made all the arrangements.
Good.
Once I send Maeum to the U.S.
Everything will go according to my plan.
I'm worried.
This might anger them even more.
Once I send Maeum away...
Only I will know where he is.
If they want to see him again,
they'll have no choice but to listen to me.
I'll get the recording...
And make sure they can never threaten me again.
Maeum?
His mother picked him up not long ago.
Mom said I'm going to the U.S.
Maeum.
She's taken Maeum. No...
No, Maeum. No!
Where are we going?
We're going to play.
We're taking the plane to go play.
Really? How exciting. Let's hurry.
Hi. Are you Maeum? It's nice to meet you.
Is she coming with us?
Listen to her, okay?
Stay there for a short while.
And I'll come and get you.
Aren't you coming with me?
It's almost time. Please go.
Okay. Let's go.
Mom!
Mom, come with me. Please?
I don't want to go alone.
Yu Maeum!
Do as I say!
Maeum!
Maeum, Maeum!
- Maeum! / - Miss Jiyu!
It's okay. It's okay, Maeum.
It's all over for you now.
We gave you one last chance for Maeum's sake.
And you dare try to use him?
I'll expose you for who you are
and the truth about Maeum.
Maeum, Maeum!
Maeum...
Maeum!
Maeum! Maeum!
What are you talking about?
She is...
The woman that I loved.
And...
She is Maeum's mother.
Chairman...
I'm so sorry that we're telling you like this.
Also...
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you about my past with Gangu.
I will accept any punishment. However...
Maeum...
Please let me...
Protect my child.
Maeum...
Is my son.
(Secrets of Women)
You're no mother.
If you were a mother,
you should've thought of your child before your greed.
Don't make me laugh. Give Maeum to me.
Where is he?
How dare you steal a child? You thief!
Now that father knows the truth about Maeum,
he'll soon find out how Hong Sunbok
became Chae Seorin.
How dare you deceive me?
What are you doing? Drag her out of here!
Father!
Honey!
I won't go down alone!
