If Bi-an ends up with Jeong-woo, Hyeong-woo will never let go.
And there are no guarantees what happened today won't happen again.
Even so, I can't come back here.
How could I...?
You've done more shameless things, like try to adopt Bi-an, right?
If you hadn't told Hyeong-woo he was a father, we wouldn't be here today.
I have no excuse.
Don't worry. I'm not saying you're my daughter-in-law again.
You can't leave until the trial's over.
Stay as the live-in nurse until it's all over.
Afterwards, I'll help you settle wherever you want to live.
That'll make things harder for Hyeong-woo.
Well, that depends on you, doesn't it?
Hyeong-woo won't rest until you and Bi-an are dead or gone from Korea.
But...
You don't have to answer right away.
Think it over carefully.
I'm done here. You can leave.
We need to talk.
Please sit.
Can you tell me honestly what you plan to do?
I'm not angry. I know by now that I can't beat you.
What do you mean?
If you decide to come back, there's nothing I can do about it.
So please tell me honestly.
Don't worry. I'm not coming back.
I don't believe it when you say that.
Ah, I've ended up lying to you, haven't I?
But whether I say or leave, Hyeong-woo and I can never be together again.
You know well the reason why.
But Hyeong-woo won't let you go...
Alright, I'll trust you one last time.
Yeon-hui!
Do you... really like Hyeong-woo?
It's just frustrating to watch him, that's all.
You have no idea how much I envy you, do you?
Go back to sleep. It's early.
I'll be back tomorrow. Take care of Bi-an for me.
Wait.
For you.
If you ever lose your way or you're scared, blow this whistle.
You won't be scared anymore.
I will not be scared anymore.
Right. This whistle will be your guardian angel.
Eun-young, you did well.
If you lose your way or if people scare you...
Blow the whistle. You won't be scared anymore.
Please get up and eat. Please?
I don't feel like eating. You go ahead and go to work.
Mother!
It's just, I feel like I'm being punished.
For what?
All my life I couldn't call my husband or my son my own.
And now my grandson. What a horrible fate.
That's not true. Father loved only you.
And I'm going to set things right, too.
What do you mean you'll set things right?
I'm going to claim through legal means that you, Ju Ae-suk are my mother.
But that means... you'll remove yourself from Sis's family register?
Family registers don't mean much these days, but pretty much.
Then I'll really be your mother?
Were you ever not?
Thank you, my son! Thank you!
Mother!
Mother...
Jeong-woo's not in a good mood right now.
Just go before you rub him the wrong way.
Does it look like I'm in a terribly good mood?
I'm being respectful to you despite the fact you're taking Eun-young's side.
I don't owe you anything. So don't use that tone with me.
She has something to say to you.
I told her to wait since you were with Mother.
Follow me.
Will do.
Hello, Kang Shin-woo can't -
What happened? Did you give the papers to the printer?
52 pages are due the day after tomorrow!
Hello? Kang Shin-woo?
I have to go to work. Hurry up.
If this is about Hyeong-woo and Bi-an, don't even start.
Jeong-woo!
Am I still even your brother? You cut ties first, remember?
I did. We're nothing now.
But I thought you'd tell me it was an accident.
That it wasn't your men.
Or that your men did it on their own without your order!
No, it wasn't an accident. I ordered it.
So I suggest you and Hyeong-woo keep out of this before it gets worse.
This is between Eun-young and me.
You're wrong.
As long as Hyeong-woo loves Bi-an, I'm also involved.
It was a mistake coming here.
What a waste of time. Bye.
What are you doing here?
Just passing by.
Did Shin-woo leave?
Yeah.
What did she say?
Nothing much. I'm off to work.
Sweetie.
You said you saw Shin-woo's boyfriend, right?
I don't know if they're dating. And I don't care. Why?
Just... maybe she's so hysterical because it's time to get married.
I'll say it again. We have nothing to do with their family anymore.
Don't waste another thought on them.
Okay.
Alright, it was my mistake.
I didn't realize the employee here misplaced the papers.
I'm not your daughter or your wife!
Who gave you the right to yell at me at every chance?
Look, I'll buy lunch.
Hey, kid!
What do you want to eat?
Did you forget that you fired me?
Right now I'm just a part-timer. I'll eat whatever.
Whatever doesn't cut it. I'll buy you what you want.
Are you interested in me now?
What?
Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?
Can't I be nice to you? If you don't want to eat, fine.
It's me.
How'd you get my number?
That's not important.
You out for lunch? Let's meet. I have something to say.
- I have a prior engagement. Bye. - Wait!
With who? Your girlfriend?
Yeah.
Fine. I'll call you later.
Don't.
Why so frosty? Is it that married woman?
Shut up. Think about what you want to eat.
Today I ate shrimp with Nana and Gramps and Auntie and Uncle.
Daddy really likes shrimp, too.
Yesterday I played with Daddy in my dream.
I really miss Daddy. But it is a secret from Mommy.
Can this really be submitted as evidence?
It's the child's direct thoughts. There's no better evidence.
But this is mostly about his father.
Not his birthfather. His other father, the one I'm divorcing.
They were close?
Very! Bi-an likes him more than me. They're together now.
They are?
Yes. His real father tried to take him against his will,
and my husband got hurt in the process.
He tried to take the child against the child's wishes?
That's right.
Did you by any chance keep any evidence of this?
Evidence?
This could be the deciding factor in the trial.
Kidnapping the child.
But what evidence? I can't just take a picture...
You can, too!
Don't you remember how they created situations for you and recorded it?
What did I tell you? We need to do everything it takes.
Do you want to lose your child because of your conscience?
What do I do then?
The second hearing's next week.
Bring me the medical report of your husband's injuries, witness testimonies.
Anything at all.
Okay.
Things are finally calmed down.
I know. If every day is like today, we'll be rich in no time.
Are we finally going to hit the jackpot?
Ha! You call this a jackpot? Well, I guess it's better than nothing.
Right, right?
I'm back.
Good work, pooky!
Good work, Hong-jin.
Why are you...? You're scaring me! I didn't do nothin' wrong!
What do you mean? We're just so proud of you these days.
Are you softening me up before the kill?
Where is your father? He's been gone all day.
He's not back yet? He left early in the morning.
Yeah. He's a bit out of it these days.
Geez.
- Sir! - Dad!
Where'd you go?
I'm completely beat.
Oh, okay.
You son of a gun!
- What are you doing? - Sir?
- What are you doing? - My money!
- My restaurant! - Stop it!
Sir!
Ah, sir! I'm so sorry!
Have you lost your mind? You think a "sorry" is enough?
We're very, very sorry. He mistook you for someone else.
Your meal's on us, so please don't be angry.
We're so sorry.
We'll give you a coupon for a free meal. We're very sorry.
Forget it.
We apologize. We're very sorry, sir.
- We're sorry! - Very sorry!
What's with you?
Business is really flourishing.
Yes.
Did you tell the storeowners that opening these stores
is a direct violation of the contract?
Yes, but they claim they followed the proper procedure.
They'll put their trust in Chairwoman Shin, is that it?
Shall we set things in motion?
Why, hello there.
- What are you doing here? - Just passing on through.
Thought I'd say hello.
I'm a bit curious if you thought about what I said.
Have a free meal on me and leave.
You'll regret this later, I think.
Well I don't. If you'll excuse me.
Who was that?
None of your business.
Follow him and find out who he's staying with and where.
Yes, sir.
What did you find out?
He isn't staying with anyone and anywhere in particular.
When he has money he rents a room, else he sleeps in the subway stations.
I see.
Should I keep an eye on him?
No need for that.
Okay. Excuse me.
Yes?
The chairwoman is asking for you.
Okay.
Come in.
I don't know much about the law.
So this document is an official way of saying we're not mother and child?
Yes. Are you upset?
Of course. I just lost my eldest son. I feel quite empty inside.
It's thirty long years. Did you once consider me your son?
Looking back, I pity both you and me. We both lost so much.
Can't say I disagree.
I'm sorry about what happened to Hyeong-woo.
You won't believe me, but I didn't order them to hit him.
I couldn't stand that my son loves Hyeong-woo more.
Frankly speaking, I was jealous.
So I ordered them to bring Bi-an. Hyeong-woo was an unforeseen casualty.
I'm sorry.
I don't know to respond to this. You switching up tactics?
I resent you so much.
Resent me?
Why did you want Eun-young, of all women?
Why did you order me to ruin her family?
If you hadn't done that, she wouldn't have married your son.
It's all in the past.
In the past? How is it all in the past...
when it's still here, lingering, wounding those involved until the end?
Why did you have to do it? You shouldn't have.
Why her of all people?
It's true that it started with me. I told you to do it.
But you can't say you weren't involved.
You had the opportunity to stop the marriage.
You'll never accept responsibility, will you?
That's enough. Leave.
This is really the end.
This will be the last time I face you as my mother of 34 years.
I can't say that I'm grateful.
After this moment, you and I are strangers.
Goodbye.
Why did you have to do it? You shouldn't have.
Why her of all people?
It's true that it started with me. I told you to do it.
But you can't say you weren't involved.
You had the opportunity to stop the marriage.
That was a long time ago. Why are you still thinking about it?
Forget about it.
Enough! Thinking about that jerk can't be good for you. Okay?
I'm home.
Hey. Where's Bi-an?
Dad, Hyeong-woo's not doing so well.
So what? Is Bi-an his doctor?
You, pipe down. How bad is he?
You don't have to worry.
Just give me a few days. I'll bring him home soon.
Okay, I trust you to take care of things.
But make sure no one gets hurt any more than they already are.
I will, Dad.
I'm turning in.
Mom, is Dad feeling alright?
He's okay. Just something on his mind.
Wait, did you come from Hyeong-woo's?
No. I met up with the public defender.
What did she say? Are we gonna win?
We don't have to give Bi-an away?
Yes. We'll never give him away.
Hyeong-woo, what are you doing?
Grandma.
Hey. You helping your dad read the newspaper?
Here, I'll take that.
Please, he's like Hyeong-woo's mini guard dog.
He won't relax all day, making sure no one can approach his dad.
It's not even funny.
Bi-an, that's nice of you. Doesn't your arm hurt?
I'm okay. It doesn't hurt while Daddy is reading.
What is it?
You have a lot to do?
No. I'll be done soon.
Okay.
Why? Is something wrong?
'Course not.
Sweetie, did you say Shin-woo's company worked on the ad for Dream In?
Yeah.
How'd that go? They still contracted?
Why?
You worried Shin-woo's poking her nose into Dream In?
No, I'm just asking.
Relax. That won't ever happen.
She's the type to never do anything she hates.
She may be mad at me, but she'll never join Dream In.
That's a relief.
Continue working. I won't bother you.
Okay.
Please leave a message...
What took you so long... Hong Na-kyeong!
Sorry. You wouldn't answer my calls.
Let's go out.
No, let's talk here. We're alone, aren't we?
The others will be in soon.
So? Is there someone you don't want me to meet?
Na-kyeong!
Shin-woo.
