And Mother...
also wanted me to show you this text message.
Don't ever forgive me, Dal Nim.
Don't try to find me either.
Due to my lack of patience,
I guess this is where our ties will end.
I'm sorry, Dal Nim.
I'm really sorry.
No, this can't be. I'm sure something's wrong.
How can she just leave without me?
My mom would never do something like that.
To be frank, she's not even your birth mother.
It's possible because she's not your birth mother.
So many things happened all at once,
so I'm sure she was scared and lonely.
I didn't want to tell you this because I didn't want to shock you,
but the landowner...
even kicked Mother out of the restaurant.
She had to shut down the restaurant,
and the meat delivery contract also got canceled.
On top of everything, you're locked up behind bars like this.
It must've been scary and lonely for her to handle this all by herself.
I should've cared for her more.
Things were hectic for me too.
I'm sorry.
But don't resent Mother too much.
You should try to understand her.
She's the one who raised you until now.
I brought this from your house.
They're precious, so keep them well.
Mom, where are you?
Mom.
(Missing Person)
Mom, do we really need to hand out flyers?
I never said you need to.
We should at least pretend so that Se Kang doesn't get suspicious.
Hey, you're home.
Look, Se Kang. We made flyers to look for Dal Nim's mom.
I spent the whole day handing these out. My legs hurt so much.
Good job.
Tomorrow, I'll get off work early and hand these out.
My gosh, don't bother. Just focus on work.
I'll hand them out whenever I have time.
By the way, I heard Dal Nim lodged an appeal.
I'm already worried about the next trial.
Me too.
The judge won't change his decision, will he?
That won't happen.
We're going to make her admit her crime...
so that the judge will reduce her sentence.
What do you mean?
Mom, at this rate,
Dal Nim will end up getting the maximum penalty allowable by law.
That would be too cruel for Dal Nim.
So what's your plan?
A confession?
Jung Hoon said the same thing to me a couple days ago.
But I made it clear that I didn't want to confess.
That's why I'm here.
Jung Hoon asked me to convince you.
Does that mean you agree with him?
Jung Hoon and I gave this a lot of thought.
We thought a lot about it,
but this is our only choice.
I can't confess. I won't confess. Why would I confess?
I totally understand.
But listen to me, Dal Nim.
At this rate,
you'll end up getting the maximum penalty allowable by law.
If you confess, your sentence can get reduced to at least six years.
There's no other way to solve this problem. Please, Dal Nim.
Stop it. I don't want to hear this anymore.
Do you also not believe me?
I did believe you.
But not anymore.
It's so hard for me.
Your mother is no longer here,
and I want to do my best to...
protect you and our baby.
Whenever I think about the fact that you're locked up like this,
my heart aches like crazy.
Please, Dal Nim. At least do this for me.
Please, Dal Nim. Please.
(Management Director, Choi Sun Ho)
Sir, are you going somewhere?
It's time for you to attend the board meeting.
It's not like they can't do the meeting without me.
You're supposed to be at work. What are you doing here?
What about you? Why aren't you doing anything during your work hours?
I don't know.
I can't seem to work.
Let's just drink.
I don't want to work,
I don't want to eat, and I don't want to sleep.
I don't want to do anything these days.
"It'll get better tomorrow."
"It'll get better the day after tomorrow."
But today's no different from yesterday.
And tomorrow will be the same as today.
Isn't it horrible?
What do you think about taking some time off work...
and going on a trip for a while?
Do you want to go together?
What fun will it be with just the two of us?
It'd be better if Jae Hee was here.
Oh, right. She's not here anymore.
Please get me some more drinks.
Dal Nim.
Mother.
You look so weary.
Mother, I really don't understand what's going on.
I'm so confused.
I understand.
It's a miracle that you're still sane.
Mother, did you also hear about my mom?
My mom would never do such a thing.
There's no way she would leave without me.
Can you please look for my mom?
You and Se Kang are the only ones I can trust.
Don't worry.
We already reported her missing to the police,
and we're doing our best to look for her.
Look.
We even made a flyer to look for her.
We've pasted these everywhere,
and we're also handing these out to people...
whenever we have time.
Thank you, Mother. Thank you so much.
Dal Nim.
You need to eat well for your baby.
You need to stay strong, okay?
By the way, Dal Nim.
Don't get me wrong,
but according to Se Kang,
your sentence will get reduced if you confess.
Don't you think you should get out of here as soon as possible?
We'll take good care of the baby while you're in here.
You should come out as soon as possible...
so that you can see your baby grow up.
Mother, I also want to get released as soon as possible.
I want to get out of here and look for my mom.
But I really don't know what to do.
So stop wasting your energy.
If you keep resisting, it'll only be hard on all of us.
Se Kang just wants what's best for you.
All he cares about is getting you out of here.
Se Kang and I can't even sleep these days...
because we're worried that something might happen to you.
Whenever we get a phone call at night,
we both get worried thinking it might have something to do with you.
Can't you just confess for all of us including Se Kang and your baby?
Dal Nim, let's do as I say.
That's the only way for us to survive.
Mother, I don't want to.
Dal Nim.
I really don't want to confess,
but...
I don't have the strength to endure this anymore.
My mom was always on my side...
regardless of whatever anyone would say about me.
But now that she's gone,
I just want to end this as soon as possible.
I want to get out of this place.
I'll do as you say.
I'll confess.
Thank you for being courageous.
Thank you so much.
He didn't even attend the board meeting today.
I'm sure Sun Ho doesn't want to work right now.
I agree. It's probably hard for him to even keep breathing right now.
But he needs to get back on his feet sooner or later.
- I'm home. - You're home.
I'll go to my room.
- My goodness. - Sun Ho!
Can you walk?
He never got that drunk before.
It's only natural for him to lose his way like this.
I'm sure he's going through a lot.
It'll take some time for him to get better.
All we can do...
is to just wait for him until then.
(Court of Law)
Oh Dal Nim's mother has disappeared.
- Are you sure? - Yes. I'm certain.
Okay, you may leave.
Are you waiting for her mother to show up?
She won't come today.
Se Na.
You should go in. Why are you outside?
Let's go.
The defendant disagreed with the victim's column.
And from then on, she started resenting the victim.
After the defendant assaulted the victim,
she acted as if she was a witness of the incident who tried to help.
Then she tried to hide what she did.
The victim's death was mainly because...
she lapsed into dyspnea due to an asthma attack,
which then led to a heart attack.
However, this is all resulted because the defendant assaulted her.
Therefore, the defendant is greatly responsible for the victim's death.
Although the defendant may not have planned her crime beforehand,
this is more than enough to accuse her for murder.
The victim...
was a 28-year-old woman who was planning to get married soon.
However, because of the defendant, her marriage got broken into pieces,
and the future she had been dreaming of got trampled on.
The crime of having trampled on someone's future and dreams...
is absolutely incomparable to any other crime.
Therefore, I demand life imprisonment...
for the defendant.
Attorney, please carry on with your closing argument.
My client...
will admit to all charges.
She's finally going to admit to her sin?
Defendant.
Do you plead guilty for all charges?
Dal Nim.
Defendant, please answer my question.
Do you plead guilty?
Your Honor,
the defendant is reflecting on...
and regretting what she did.
She didn't even plan or intend on...
committing a crime beforehand.
The defendant ran a small restaurant with her mother.
She was just a diligent citizen of our country.
Please rule an amicable judgement...
so that the defendant can get punished for her crime...
and be able to get back on her feet in society...
as she atones for what she did wrong.
Defendant, please carry on with your closing argument.
I won't say anything else...
because whatever I say right now...
will only be heard as an excuse.
However,
I'd like to show my condolences...
for the victim's family who are crying in sadness right now...
for having lost their family member.
And...
Ms. Jung Jae Hee,
I hope you'll rest in peace...
in the skies now.
The final ruling will be held in a week.
The department of justice will extenuate your crime...
and reduce your sentence.
So you don't need to be worried.
Do you understand?
Dal Nim, are you sick?
You look so pale.
No, I'm fine.
Se Kang has an important at work today, so he couldn't come.
I know.
Please tell him not to worry.
Se Kang also told me about your mother.
He's doing his best to find her, so don't worry.
You need to look after your own health.
Okay?
(Seoul Central District Court )
How dare you look at me straight in the eyes?
You should be begging on your knees right now.
You're a two-faced monster.
You have no right to show your condolences for Jae Hee.
You're one thing, but your mother's also quite brazen.
I can't believe she ran away...
when her daughter's in danger.
But then again, what could you have learned from a mother like that?
Don't insult my mom.
I don't care what you say about me,
but don't talk like that about my mom.
My mom did nothing wrong to receive any kind of criticism.
Don't think that it will end here.
This is only the beginning.
I had no reason to continue to live without my Jae Hee.
But you made me realize why I had to continue living.
Until the day you die...
No, I'm going to ruin you even after you die.
You should be glad that your mother left.
Otherwise, I would've thrown her into a fiery pit as well.
Prisoner 3677!
Dal Nim!
What's wrong, Dal Nim? Dal Nim.
What are you doing? Call 911.
There must be something wrong.
Are you her guardian, Jae Wook?
Are you planning to end everything with me and Jae Hee?
If you want to go with her,
you're going to have to disown me and Jae Hee.
You can go and protect her if you're willing to disown us.
You shouldn't do this, Jae Wook.
Don't go. You shouldn't go.
Do you really need to protect her?
Is she really that important to you?
Is she more important than Jae Hee?
(Seoul Central District Court )
Are you awake now?
Your body got overworked from stress and mental shock.
I'll prescribe you some medicine, so please take them regularly.
And please take care of your body.
A miscarriage is almost equal to giving child birth.
- You must rest properly. - Doctor.
What did you just say?
A miscarriage?
I'm sorry, but you lost your baby.
Are you saying that...
my baby is dead?
I misheard you, right? That can't be.
Why?
Why would my baby die?
I'm mistaken, right? Please tell me that I'm mistaken.
No.
My baby. My baby.
My baby. My precious baby.
Mom. Mom. Gosh, my baby.
Mom.
My gosh.
Dal Nim's mother ran away? What do you mean?
She ran away and took everything...
that was worth any money including the deposit for her restaurant.
She obviously ran away because she couldn't handle it...
when she found out that her daughter was actually guilty.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
She'd never do that. She'd never run away like that.
Mr. Kim confirmed it with...
her realtor and neighbors.
I can't believe you still trust them.
You got fooled, Jae Wook.
You even saw her pleading guilty.
She's probably just trying to reduce her sentence.
But she won't get anything her way.
I'm going to make her rot in prison.
They may have acted nice in front of you.
But the daughter committed murder,
and the mother abandoned her daughter and ran away.
You need to realize their true natures. Do you understand?
(Dal Nim's Restaurant)
Ms. Kang! It's me, Jae Wook! Ms. Kang!
Please open the door!
Who are you?
Are you here to meet Dal Nim's mother?
- Yes. - She's not here anymore.
It's been a while since she left.
Did she really leave?
I don't know how you know her,
but her restaurant went out of business,
and her daughter's about to go to jail.
So I think she secretly ran away.
Someone else is going to move in here tomorrow.
What took you so long, Dal Nim?
Ma'am, what's wrong with her?
You should take good care of her.
She lost her baby.
What? She lost her baby?
My goodness.
Dal Nim.
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
Here is your message.
Jae Wook. Jae Wook!
I wonder what she was trying to tell me.
Could something have happened to her?
Where are you, Ms. Kang?
What happened?
Well, she apparently miscarried her baby.
She miscarried her baby?
Are you serious? Where is the hospital?
There's no point in going. They took her back to the detention center.
Ms. Kang isn't even around to take care of her.
Was the baby's father there to visit her?
No. No one was there.
Even her mother abandoned her.
Why would the baby's father stay by her side?
He probably broke up with her already.
It didn't seem like he showed up in court either.
Thank you. You may leave.
I guess the skies are fair in their own ways.
She's getting punished right now.
She miscarried her baby. How can you say that right now?
She doesn't even deserve my sympathy.
I don't feel sorry for her at all.
My goodness.
I can't believe she miscarried the baby. Gosh, my poor child.
What's the matter? Is there something wrong?
No, it's nothing. Something just went in my eye.
That woman is going through so much.
Her mom ran away,
and she even miscarried her baby.
This is why people should never sin.
Karma always repays you for what you did.
I don't know about anything else, but I feel sorry for the baby.
I don't know who the baby's father is,
but she's ruining so many people's lives...
including the baby's father...
and Sun Ho.
I heard she pleaded guilty.
Yes. She kept insisting that she wasn't guilty at first.
But she suddenly pleaded guilty to reduce her sentence.
How can a human being be so brazen?
I really hope Sun Ho will get back on his feet again. I'm so worried.
He went straight to his room again...
without eating after he came back from trial today.
He's like a ghost who wears clothes.
Jae Hee.
How is it over there?
I'm not doing so well.
I can't eat or sleep.
It's even hard for me keep breathing.
Mom.
We must be getting punished.
The skies took our baby.
My poor baby did nothing wrong.
I really...
I really wanted to protect my baby, Mom.
I'm sure the baby went to a better place.
It's bitter and sad,
but it may be best for the baby to meet better parents...
in its next life.
You even said so yourself.
You said you were worried that your baby might grow up and find out...
that you were the one who framed his or her own mother.
You would've suffered because...
the baby would always remind you of Dal Nim.
You and the baby were just never meant to meet as parent and child.
Let's just think that way, okay?
This might actually be better for you.
How can you say that in this situation?
You were going to break up with Dal Nim anyway.
It'll be easier to do that without the baby.
On top of that, you won't have to lie to Ruby anymore.
I also feel upset and sad.
But I'm just saying we should make the best of what's in front of us.
You didn't even get to see the world because of me.
I'm sorry, my baby.
I'm so sorry.
Jae Hee.
(Court of Law)
Considering the fact that the defendant has pleaded guilty...
and that this is her first offense,
I sentence the defendant, Oh Dal Nim, to six years in prison.
Only six years?
Dal Nim, you look so weak.
Are you okay?
Se Kang must not have come...
because he couldn't bear to see you get sentenced to prison.
Don't be too upset.
I can't believe she only got six years for killing Jae Hee.
It must be because she pleaded guilty to all charges.
I can't end it like this.
- What do you plan to do? - I'm going to lodge an appeal.
I'm going to do whatever it takes to make her get a life sentence...
so that she'll rot in prison for the rest of her life.
Call Prosecutor Park and arrange a meeting.
Yes, ma'am.
Where's Mother?
She went home first. We need to talk.
I have something to say to you.
It's about Ms. Oh Dal Nim.
Her mother abandoned her, and she even lost her baby.
Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
I don't care what happens to her. It has nothing to do with me.
I don't want to hear it if you're going to talk about her.
Hating and resenting someone...
is much more difficult than liking someone.
I want you to be at ease now.
I'm telling you not to torture yourself.
So are you telling me to forgive her or something?
Do you want me to forgive her because...
her mom left her and she lost her baby?
You may be generous enough to do that, but I can't.
Don't force me to think and feel the way you do.
I'm going to move to New York.
A friend of mine works as a head chef at New York Hotel.
I got offered the sous-chef position there.
I originally learned cooking from him,
and I also want to learn more.
So I accepted his offer.
Jae Hee...
and you are all leaving me.
When are you going to come back?
You're not planning to stay there forever, are you?
No, I'll be back...
someday.
I want to leave too.
I'd love to be anywhere but here.
Do you think we'll be able to smile...
the next time we meet?
("Jae Hee and Sun Ho's Food Map")
Let's go on a trip...
every year on our wedding anniversary.
Every year on our wedding anniversary,
we can travel the world and make a map that shows tasty restaurants.
You can write your column, and I can draw.
That way, we can write our own book.
How do you feel?
I came here to tell you something.
I think...
this is going to be the last time...
to sit in front of you like this...
and talk to you face to face.
"The last time"?
I've thought so hard about this.
Our baby...
was the only reason I was holding onto our relationship.
The baby...
was the only reason for me to think...
that everything would be okay even though we're away from each other.
I tried so hard not to lose you.
I'm sorry, Dal Nim. I'm sorry.
I think this is the best I can do.
I'm so sorry. Don't forgive me.
I'm sorry, Dal Nim.
This isn't completely unexpected.
After I heard about my miscarriage,
I thought the world was coming to an end.
It's not your fault, Se Kang. It's all my fault.
I would've made the same choice even if I were you.
Don't be sorry. I'm not going to resent you.
I'm sorry, Dal Nim.
I won't forget you.
Thanks to you,
I was very happy.
Thank you so much.
You'll be able to meet a wonderful woman.
- I hope you'll be happy. - No! Dal Nim!
Dal Nim!
(Sweet Enemy)
I guess this is where our ties will end.
It's your choice to quit,
but please don't do this for my sake, Sun Ho.
- How dare you like my daughter? - Mom.
Prisoner 3677, you have a visitor.
Dal Nim, maybe it's your mother!
