Mrs. Hong!
The security camera footage is accurate. I walked away from him.
What in the world are you saying!
Order! Please continue your questioning.
We're done here. I have no further questions.
Please question the witness.
Let's make this clear. You abandoned the boy, correct?
Yes. And my husband knows this.
I don't understand. You're the child's father.
Yet you turned a blind eye to this?
Kang Jeong-woo doesn't have any affection for his son.
Even after finding out he was the father, he did nothing.
He began showing interest in the boy after I had a miscarriage.
He decided he could use the boy.
His entire world revolves around having revenge on Chairwoman Shin.
Bi-an was just a tool for this end.
Can you go into more detail?
When I found out he had an illegitimate son, I was already pregnant.
These two keep in touch using the boy as an excuse,
and I lost my baby due to that stress.
As a result, I will never be able to bear a child.
I'm not quite following.
If Bi-an caused all this pain for you, why did you want to adopt him?
I wanted revenge.
You wanted to displace your anger on the child. How cruel.
Perhaps, but what's worse is my husband knows and still wants custody of his son.
All because he wants revenge on Chairwoman Shin.
Rubbish! What nonsense are you saying, woman!
Quiet, sir. Take your seat.
Objection. The witness is slandering her husband due to a personal vendetta.
- Overruled. Continue. - Yes, sir.
One final question.
Why tell the truth here and now?
Because I have a conscience.
Of course I was angry when I found out about the boy.
But I think it's wrong to use the boy in this way.
Thank you. You can leave the stand.
Both sides may now make their closing statements.
Regardless of all other facts, the bottom line is that Bi-an is my son.
The kindness of strangers is temporary. He may love a stranger more than me.
But no one has the right to separate a father and his son.
Another important point is, who can raise Bi-an better?
Someone who is financially stable and can give him a good environment.
But in the end it comes down to the fact that blood is thicker than water.
Your Honor, don't be swayed by emotional displays.
Please just keep in mind the three points I have just mentioned.
Mrs. Seo, your closing statement.
Bi-an saved my life seven years ago when I foolishly wanted to die.
In comparison, I haven't done anything for my son.
For six long years, I didn't even know that he was alive.
Even after we were reunited, I couldn't stop others from hurting him.
I don't have much to my name.
If money and social status are what's important when raising a child...
then I cannot raise him the best.
Compared to his father, I am very lacking in material things.
But I firmly believe that above all love is what my son needs the most.
If you can look past the material things...
I promise to raise my son into a warm and loving person.
You okay?
Yeah.
I had no idea your wife was gonna pull that stunt.
The one thing you can't predict is a court ruling.
We'll keep looking for something to overturn the case.
Yeah. Thanks.
You feel wronged?
What the hell was that?
Lower your voice. We're in a public place.
Tell me, why'd you do it?
It's simple. You betrayed me first.
What?
While I dreamed of a happy family with you and Bi-an...
you were planning to leave me, weren't you?
Should I be more specific?
If I had helped you win the trial today,
you would've left for England with Mother and Bi-an.
Without telling me, of course.
I just can't fool you. You're right, I was going to leave.
Is this the end?
I told you you'd lose everything without me.
These are the Dream In shares you were entrusted with.
If you want, I can give it all to you.
This time the choice is mine? Divorce or shares.
Bingo.
We done?
No. I suggest you reconsider.
Your revenge. Your dream to make Dream In the best.
Giving them up now would mean you wasted the past 7 years of your life.
Three days. I'll be at the same hotel as last time.
If you bring the divorce papers then, I'll gladly divorce you.
It's no use. Give me 3 years to think and I still won't change my mind.
We'll see about that. If you'll excuse me.
It was difficult today, wasn't it?
The ruling isn't out yet, but I have a good feeling.
It's all thanks to you. Thank you.
I did not do anything.
Hello.
I heard from Mr. Hong that today's hearing went well.
Hyeong-woo did so well today.
I'm sure. He'll be a real father soon.
Bi-an, you awake? You fell asleep waiting for your parents?
Dad, you don't have to go to work today?
I don't! Thanks to someone I got fired without even getting paid.
Why won't the numbers add up?
Getting fired is the least of our worries.
She beat him so hard, the hospital bill is just... wow!
That's enough.
M-mother, your phone is ringing.
Hey, how are you?
Really? That's so great. Congratulations!
Yeah, okay. Bye.
What is it?
Mother, what's the good news?
Looks like we'll be getting Bi-an for good. The jerk's wife changed her mind.
Why, all of a sudden?
You sure you're not getting ahead of yourself?
True. The official ruling isn't out yet.
Don't burst my bubble. It's all thanks to the charm I bought...
That dratted fraud. I'm gonna kick his...
Oh, right! He totally said that there was an affair, right?
Ah, Mother. Got any fliers left? I'll go advertise.
Anyway, this is great. Right, sweetie-patootie?
What the...? What did you just call me in that strange baby talk?
What the...? Hey!
How is that she's getting cuter by the day?
You thought that was cute? Right, sweetie-patootie?"
That ain't cute. That's plain scary!
I think it's cute, sweetie-patootie!
Scary! You're worse!
How'd it go?
- How'd what go? - The final hearing.
Oh. It went well.
Yeah? Then all we have to do is bring him home.
Better fix up Bi-an's room quick.
Mother, you don't want to live with Na-kyeong, right?
I'm still uncomfortable around her, but what can I do?
Maybe I've grown attached to her. I figure I can learn to live with her again.
Just between us, you screwed up.
You brought home a son out of nowhere.
And she was nice enough to overlook it.
I guess this is my punishment.
What?
Never mind. Get some rest.
Why isn't Na-kyeong home yet?
I'm tired. I'll explain later.
Did I miss something?
Mr. Hong told me what Na-kyeong did.
I don't know what made her change her mind.
She certainly didn't do it for your benefit.
She finally exploded.
Didn't I tell you I'd get Bi-an back for you?
- Thank you. - It's too early for that.
Just keep your promise when Bi-an's officially back in your care.
Mother, I can't...
We'll discuss that later.
Hello?
It's me, ma'am.
I heard you were a big help today.
You told me I shouldn't have revenge while hurting myself.
Tsk, tsk. So you're going to take him down with you?
That's right. But Jeong-woo won't be my only victim.
I called to tell you it's too early to celebrate.
I spent some time with Bi-an and it wasn't all that it's cracked up to be.
I think I'd prefer that he stay with you.
Every day he grows more and more like Jeong-woo.
Will you want to keep him then?
Will you still like your daughter-in-law then?
I'll be sure to keep you updated.
Sounds good, ma'am. I'll call you again.
I'm home.
Oh, hello.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Your face says differently. I thought the hearing went well.
It did. Did you eat?
Yeah.
Did Na-kyeong do something again?
No, that's not it. I just can't figure out your mother.
What is it?
Chair-mom, are you out of your mind?
I thought you were going to send Bi-an and his mother abroad.
That's none of your concern.
Mom, this isn't right.
Ever see me change my mind because of you?
What? So you're serious?
Stop questioning my decision and leave me.
Mom, you gotta reconsider.
This'll only hurt everyone involved.
Just 'cause we cut ties with Jeong-woo doesn't mean he's not dad's son.
Did you already forget what your brother was like after she left?
He could've lost the ability to speak or even die.
Things are different now. He's even working now.
And if we help him starting now...
I hate her even more than you.
Every time I see her face, I can barely contain my fury.
I'm angry all the time, whether I'm eating or lying down to sleep.
So why are you pushing for this?
I can't bear to watch your brother in pain.
He might get better like you say.
It's not too late to wait until he can leave her on his own.
Hyeong-woo, what are you doing?
We are a family.
Huh? Why am I not a part of it?
Just kidding. Did you have a hard time today?
It's okay, you can tell me the truth.
Just... a little.
I see. But you're happy with Eun-young and Bi-an here, aren't you?
That's good enough.
If you're happy, I'm happy. No buts to it.
Continue what you were doing. I'll stop bothering you.
Mom.
What is it?
We can continue this later if you're tired.
I am not tired.
What's wrong?
Mom. I cannot draw you.
It's okay. You're not in your best shape today.
I am sorry.
There's no need for that. It's fine, there's always later.
It's really okay.
You must be tired. Get some rest.
Huh? Lady, the seasoning's too strong.
Is it?
You can't get it right even after all these years?
Na-kyeong usually did the seasoning. I'm sorry.
It's fine. It's edible.
You're such a softie. How'd you manage a company?
You call this edible?
It's not inedible.
It's true you miss something after it's gone.
Things just aren't right without Na-kyeong here.
What happened to her? Aren't you going to tell me?
I'm running late. I have to go.
- Jeong-woo! - Take your time.
What's with him?
Hello?
It's me, Jeong-woo.
I know. I'm listening.
Your voice tells me you're still angry.
You know I meant well. You're like a son to me.
Did Na-kyeong give you my little present?
Yes, but I had to refuse it. It was too much for me.
Just take it. And treat my daughter well.
If you make her cry, I won't forgive you. Even if you are like a son to me.
Listen to me blather on. We'll talk again soon.
Hello?
I thought you'd call me first to say thanks. I'm disappointed.
I'm not entirely convinced you don't have anything else up your sleeve.
Don't worry. I'm not such a fool I'd play tricks with the law.
Now do I deserve that thanks?
You did what you did because YOU needed to.
It wasn't your nonexistent conscience acting up.
True. You read me well.
So don't let your guard down. Who knows what I'll do next.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
You want me to find out about Chairman Hong? But he's your father-in-law.
It's a personal matter.
Regarding?
I'll explain later.
He'll launch an attack on me soon. He'll do whatever he can.
I'm not following at all. What's going on?
I'm not sure myself. I'm getting attacked from all sides.
Hold on. Are things bad between you and your wife?
Some other time.
It's one thing to quit. It's another to take a hit and do nothing.
He's an old-fashioned old man so I'm sure he left trails everywhere.
This is not good.
What?
Nothing. Never mind. I'll look into it.
To express our gratitude. Thank you.
Special selection and this is it?
I deserve at least a nice art studio with a killer view.
Sure, if Hyeong-woo ever earns a ton of money.
Right? It's too early for that, right?
Here.
What's this?
The art studio with the killer view. The one the kid's rich mother gave t o me.
Kid, let me ask you one thing. Do you paint as a hobby?
What's going on, Mr. Lee? You know that art is all he has.
You answer me.
It is not a hobby.
Then tell your mother that. Tell her it means everything to you, you hear?
Okay.
Did Mr. Ahn come by?
Who's that? Unless you mean the tall fella that follows the kid around.
I'm so sorry.
There's no need for you to apologize.
I am sorry.
Yeah, you should be. Don't let it happen again.
Come in.
What did you find?
There's something strange going on.
What do you mean?
I checked out the Dream In stock hat Chairman Hong owns.
It was the late Chairman Kang's stocks passed over to him for a cheap price.
A lot of it under other names as well.
When was the last bit of shares handed over?
April, six years ago.
April, six years ago? And you're sure they all belong to Chairman Hong?
Yes, all the patterns and dates trace back to him.
Why do you ask?
No, nothing. This won't prove anything.
I need more hard evidence.
I'll look into it some more.
Sir?
Huh? Yeah. Thanks.
You're welcome.
April of 2003. That's when the hag wrested the company away from Father.
Think I could've forced your father out all on my own?
That's the best you can do? Frame my father-in-law?
I understand that you don't want to believe me.
Remember how I refused to listen to your advice?
I hope you don't end up with the same regrets I did.
What is it?
I have something to ask you.
What you told me before. Is it true?
I can't make head of what you're saying.
Chairman Hong Seong-hun. He played a hand in my father's death?
So you've finally thought about it.
Just answer me!
Why ask when you already know?
That's right. He definitely played a part.
A crucial part.
