Episode 89
Hey, you two!
Don't just sit there, get to work!
What if a customer walks in right now?
Watch it!
Hi, Aunt Chorim.
Oh, my goodness, Ruby. Sit.
Sit, sit, sit.
Hey, are you okay?
I saw on the news that you stepped down.
Why didn't you go to the press conference?
Where were you?
I wanted to collect myself.
You must be so upset.
The election was right around the corner.
Have you heard? Runa's moving overseas.
Yes, I heard.
What's up with her all of a sudden?
She should think more carefully.
What about her job?
People would gossip behind her back.
She'd have to quit anyways,
so why stress by sticking around?
She needs time to prepare for the move.
You're so indifferent.
This doesn't affect you at all?
Even after you gave up the election?
What can I do other than wait?
The same people always run.
I can always run again.
I will become an assemblywoman.
Be quiet.
Mom.
She says she's leaving.
She said she'd give up everything for you.
And yet you're... You're...
Why are you taking it out on Ruby?
She has enough on her mind.
No, Aunt Chorim. I understand.
Mom's precious daughter is leaving.
I bet her heart's in pieces.
I'm sure she feels completely empty.
Right, Aunt Chorim?
Don't say that.
Let's be honest here.
You were always your mom's favorite.
Runa was always a thorn in her side.
Not a thorn in her side, her own bloodline,
more precious than her own life.
Give this to Runa when she gets in.
She'll need it to go abroad.
Take it back. She doesn't need it.
Why are you being so harsh?
You know Runa could use the money.
I'll get going then.
Okay.
I told you take it back, missy!
What's gotten into you, Gilja?
Whatever happens from now on,
it's not your concern,
so you stay out of it.
Stop causing trouble and just
be a good wife and daughter-in-law!
If you have any conscience at all,
get your act together already!
Don't ever bring us money again.
Take it and go.
Ruby.
Ruby! Ruby!
Man...
I've never seen Mrs. Yu so angry.
But Runa's the one leaving,
why's she mad at Ruby?
Because ultimately, the video scandal
is what's forcing Runa to leave.
But that's weird.
Runa's leaving because of her own mistakes.
So why's she taking it out on Ruby?
It's really weird when you think about it.
Is there something we don't know about?
You think I don't have a conscience?
Is it that painful to see Ruby go?
You can't live without her?
Do you have try so hard to make me miserable?
President Bae, are you alright? You look pale.
I'm fine.
Please bring a glass of water.
I just remembered something.
What is it?
I don't know if this will make a difference
if I tell you this,
but something strange happened.
A few months ago,
your daughter-in-law's sister
came to see me.
Do you mean Jeong Runa?
Yes. She brought a fetal ultrasound photo
and asked me if she had been pregnant.
Pregnant?
When the sisters were brought to the hospital,
it was your daughter-in-law who got
emergency treatment for the miscarriage.
But Ms. Jeong Runa wasn't married or pregnant.
But she said she had
other medical records stating that
she had been pregnant before
and so she asked me to check again.
I had to send her back,
but now that I think about it, it was quite odd.
What in the...
What in the world is going on?
Letter of Resignation
What happened?
Is everything you said
at the press conference true?
I still can't believe it.
What's the truth?
I'm sorry.
All I can tell you is that I'm sorry.
And farewell.
Take Jeong Runa,
the woman you believe to be Jeong Ruby,
and live happily ever after.
I heard Insu tendered his resignation.
He's leaving far away from everything.
Far away from you.
Are you going with him?
Yes.
Where are you going?
When are you coming back?
Do I have to come back?
Thank you for everything, Vice President Bae.
Grandma, eat up and enjoy.
I will. Since it's Bae Sera's treat,
I'll eat all I can.
Auto, enjoy.
Yes, ma'am. It's nice to have a meal
prepared by someone else.
Changgeun won't be able to make it, right?
Yes. He said he'd be too late.
It would've been so nice if
the entire family could've eaten together.
Why did something have to come up?
What about Gyeongmin?
Welcome, my precious grandson.
Come sit.
What's the occasion?
Sera said she wanted to buy us dinner.
That's what I said,
but since Gyeongmin makes more money,
I'll let him treat us.
No, you won't!
Gyeongmin has his own family to take care of.
He has to save money.
What about me, grandma?
I have to save up to get married.
If you sell all your shoes and purses,
you'll have more than enough.
Ruby's not answering her phone.
She had to drop out of the election.
I'm sure she's upset.
Be quiet.
You always ruin everything.
For better or for worse, she's family.
Gyeongmin, why don't you call her?
And see if Changgeun's home.
Yes, mother.
Gyeongsuk.
What time are you getting in?
I just got home.
You said you'd be late. What about dinner?
Should you bring you some sushi?
I'm fine, so you and mom can take your time.
I left your mail in the study.
Okay.
I'm home, father.
We need to talk.
You saw the news, right?
I withdrew my candidacy
like you wanted me to.
Like I wanted you to?
I think it was because of the video.
How long are you going to keep doubting me?
I told you it was fabricated many times.
How many times have I told you that
excessive greed brings misfortune?
I know the video wasn't fabricated.
And I also know that
this wasn't your first miscarriage either.
What are you talking about?
I saw your records at Chuncheon Hospital.
You were definitely pregnant
but you lost the baby in the accident.
But why doesn't Gyeongmin know about that?
Why doesn't he know?
Was the baby even Gyeongmin's?
I don't know what you heard,
but you're mistaken.
I didn't suffer a miscarriage.
It was my sister Runa.
If Runa had suffered a miscarriage,
why was your name on the medical record?
It was probably a mixup.
You know how it is.
Hospitals make mistakes like that pretty often.
Gyeongmin's the only man I've ever been with.
How can you make such a dark accusation?
How can you insult me like this?
Do you expect me to believe you?
Trust the person who tricked my family
on numerous occasions?
Yes, that's how it was.
You trusted me, and I disappointed you.
But I swear to you
that this time, I'm being honest.
I swear on my father's grave.
That never happened.
I've only ever loved Gyeongmin.
I was going to give up my life for him.
How can you say something so cruel?
How?
Pick up, Na Insu.
The recipient is unavailable...
Analysis of the Jeong Ruby Video
Phone Records
The line is busy. Connecting to voicemail.
Once connected, charges will apply.
Who could it be? Who?
The man in the video?
Are you sure?
My father-in-law didn't call you?
What are you talking about?
Why would he call me?
I think my father-in-law is digging up dirt on us.
He even went to Chuncheon hospital.
The stupid video you made
is about to ruin both of us.
Chuncheon Hospital? What for?
Don't you get it?
He found out about the miscarriage I had
when I was carrying your baby, you idiot.
Listen to me, Na Insu.
If my father-in-law asks you
about the pregnancy and the miscarriage,
tell him it was Ruby, not me.
Na Insu? The producer?
And Ruby...
What's going on?
Tell him we have no relations.
If you slip up,
it'll be the end for the both of us.
If he finds out that I took on Ruby's face,
it'll be over for you too.
So tell him it was Jeong Ruby
who was pregnant with your baby.
Hello?
Mr. Na Insu?
Speaking. May I ask who's calling?
Did I hear that correctly?
You were pregnant with Na Insu's baby?
No, no.
And what about your face?
You stole Ruby's face?
But how...
You switched faces after the accident?
What faces? Who did you trade faces with?
None of it's true.
You must have misheard.
Who are you?
If the person standing before me
isn't Jeong Ruby, then who are you?
Father...
Yes, that's right.
You weren't her...
I knew something was off.
Father, what are you saying?
I'm Jeong Ruby.
Your daughter-in-law, Jeong Ruby.
Your son, Bae Gyeongmin's wife.
No. You're not Jeong Ruby.
You were never my daughter-in-law.
Why did it have to happen?
I do feel sorry for her,
but I just don't think they were meant to be.
She's not that lovely.
Despite all the money that went into her,
she doesn't look as good as she used to.
There's something very different about her.
If I'm not Jeong Ruby,
who do you think I am?
How could you
do something so preposterous?
Stop it. I'm Jeong Ruby.
Jeong Ruby. I'm Jeong Ruby.
How dare you? You wretch.
How dare you do such a terrible thing?
How dare you deceive Gyeongmin?
How?
Yes. I deceived him!
Why? Why? Why?
Because I wanted him.
No. Never.
How...? How...?
Father! Father, where's your medication?
Father! Father!
911?
Goodness me.
Ruby, you were home?
What were you doing there?
You see...
I was looking for father's medication.
Medication?
Honey, when did you get home?
You weren't answering your phone.
You see...
I just called 911.
Father collapsed.
What?
I found father unconscious
on the second floor when I got home.
What?
What are you talking about?
Changgeun collapsed?
Ma'am, you should go to your room and...
Just stay put!
Changgeun! Changgeun!
What's going on? Oh no...
Dad! Dad!
Changgeun.
Grandma.
Ma'am.
Father...
Stay focused, Jeong Runa.
You need to be alert.
That's the only way you'll survive.
You've been cooped up here all day.
Come down to eat.
Yes, grandma. I was on my way.
You have to let him go.
You're still here. So eat.
Come on out. Grandma's worried.
Yes, mom.
Your father sure was handsome.
Yes, grandma.
When he was a baby,
everyone adored him.
Look at the forehead and nose...
There wasn't anyone so charming.
Right, Gyeongsuk?
Yes, mother.
Good heavens.
The heavens decide when to take us,
but this man was taken much too soon.
Why the rush? Why so soon?
Why'd you have to go before me?
Who am I to rely on?
Who can I lean on, Changgeun?
Mother...
How cruel could you be?
What about your mother?
How am I to live?
How am I to carry on?
Why'd you have to go so soon?
Please, grandma.
You need to look out for your health.
- Mother. Mother. / - No...
Gyeongsuk. Gyeongsuk.
What are we going to do?
How are we supposed to live?
How are we to carry on?
Mom. Grandma. Don't be like this.
Now you're making me cry.
Ma'am, please don't do this.
We can't lose you too.
What am I going to?
It's not your fault.
It was an accident. It was just an accident.
It's not your fault. It's not.
It was definitely not your fault.
What is life?
It just seems so pointless.
I know. We can't even live a 100 years.
I don't know why we fight and bicker so much.
But he seemed so healthy.
Why'd he die all of a sudden?
They said it was a heart attack.
Yeah I know.
With heart attacks,
you know, in dramas and in movies,
when people get surprised or get bad news,
they clutch their chests and die.
Ruby was right there when it happened.
It's too terrible to think about.
I can't imagine how scared Ruby must've been.
Stop blabbering and
just take good care of Dongpal.
Heart attack? In front of Runa?
Was Chairman Bae onto something?
No way...
I'm their mother,
but I only figured it out recently.
How could he have known?
Runa? It's me.
Did your father-in-law...
What?
No. I said no.
What are you talking about?
Why don't you believe me?
Do you not trust me?
Don't ever say that again.
Those were good times.
Do you remember?
Of course I remember.
Mother, are you sleeping?
No. Come on in.
Gyeongsuk.
What's the pillow for?
I'm sorry, mother, but I can't fall asleep.
May I sleep here with you?
With this smelly old woman?
Come in.
Should I bring my pillow too?
The three of us could...
- Auto. / - Yes?
Leave.
Yes, ma'am. Good night.
Good night, Gyeongsuk.
Come. Come lie down.
Who would've thought that I'd
share a blanket with my daughter-in-law?
It's nice.
I feel the same way.
You know that you're all I have left, right?
What are you talking about?
You have Gyeongmin and Sera.
They have their own lives to lead.
Gyeongmin takes after his father.
You know he'll be good to you just as
his father was good to me, right?
Of course.
I don't know if you'll believe me,
but I was always grateful
to Gyeongmin and Sera.
They always treated me like their real mom.
But you stuck around and raised them.
The parent who sticks around
is worth more than the one who birthed them.
Thank you, Gyeongsuk. Thank you.
You don't need to say that, mother.
What if it was my fault?
What if Gyeongmin's father died
after seeing the video I posted?
Ms. Jeong, did you really post that video?
I'm going to ask you again.
Did you really post that video?
No. It couldn't have been the video.
That happened too long ago.
Then what else could it be?
What could've traumatized him like that?
It seemed like he knew the video was real.
What did he find out exactly?
What was the shocking truth
that gave Gyeongmin's father a heart attack?
Was it...? No way...
See you next time...
