(Episode 44)
Excuse me...
What if she catches a cold?
What are you doing here at this hour?
Well, I just...
Are you awake now?
I'm sorry. I must've fallen asleep.
You should go home if you're tired.
No, it's okay.
What are you doing here, Director Choi?
About that night...
when I picked up the cell phone strap.
You said you wanted me to tell you if I remembered anything.
Do you remember something?
That was the day of your first trial.
I went to Se Na's neighborhood after the trial was over.
I remember correctly because...
that's when I found the lost ring.
Do you remember anything else?
She was going somewhere hurriedly.
It seemed like she was in a rush.
If that was the day of Dal Nim's first trial...
That's the day she left you...
that voice message.
That's when a witness suddenly appeared...
and made the trial unfavorable to you.
I'm sure something happened to my mom that night.
I can only imagine how hard it must've been for her.
Just the thought of it makes me feel so sad.
I'm sorry. My memory doesn't seem to be of great help.
That's not true. Thank you so much.
I was desperate for any kind of information.
Did anyone call you to report about your missing mother?
No, not yet.
About Dal Nim's mom...
What do you think about requesting a professional...
who specializes in finding people to look for her?
To be honest, when I came back from New York,
I joined an internet cafe that helps people find missing people.
I even requested a detective agency to find her without telling Dal Nim.
Really? Did you find anything out?
No. I couldn't find a single clue.
That's why I couldn't say anything to Dal Nim either.
I didn't want to disappoint her.
But thank you for...
showing interest in finding Dal Nim's mother.
The reason's quite simple.
It's only natural for a child to look for his or her mother.
That's the only reason I'm helping her.
You must be tired. You should go home and rest.
Is this yours?
No, Sun Ho covered you with that...
when you were dozing off.
Director Choi?
Are you not angry anymore?
Our relationship isn't like how it used to be,
and I think that's because we don't have a baby.
Why is there a pair of baby shoes here?
I went to see a very famous fortune teller today,
and she told me that a baby will come to us if we keep that there.
And here.
I want you to always carry that in your wallet.
She said our baby has lost its way to find us,
and that will help our baby find its way home.
Honey.
This is all for our future baby.
Okay.
- Done. - Thank you.
I'm the one who should thank you for not being angry at me anymore.
- Should we go to sleep now? - Yes.
Wait. You need to put your head over there when you sleep.
What?
She said I might not be getting pregnant because...
the balance between our energies aren't in harmony.
So you need to sleep with your feet on this side.
- That's how our energies will... - Wait a second.
So are you telling me to sleep the other way around...
with your feet next to my face?
Don't you think that's a bit too much?
Do as I say if you don't want to sleep on the couch.
Honey, but this is nonsense.
Honey, don't you want a baby that looks like us?
Do you think I'm doing this just for myself?
Okay, fine.
Then I'll just sleep with your feet next to my face.
Are you happy?
Sleep that way.
Aren't you going to cover yourself with the blanket?
This is so uncomfortable.
My gosh, what is this?
My goodness.
Why aren't Se Kang and Ruby coming downstairs to eat?
I'll go upstairs and check.
- I'm here. - What about Se Kang?
Se Kang, what's wrong with your eye?
Did you get hit by someone?
Did you guys have a fight?
Is that what happened?
- No. - No.
Then what happened?
I got hit in the face with Ruby's foot.
Her foot?
Well, I tossed around too much in my sleep.
Gosh, it must've hurt if he got hit by Ruby's giant foot.
Ruby's foot isn't giant.
It's very cute and adorable.
You're one lucky woman, Ruby.
He's taking your side even after getting hit by you.
You guys are definitely a match made in paradise.
I guess there's one more guy in our family...
other than me who's crazy about his wife.
You're going to visit Se Na's mother today, right?
- Yes. - I'll have Ruby...
take the present I bought for her mother,
so make sure you go there and make a good impression.
Okay.
My mom said she's going to prepare grilled chicken for you.
She's always wanted to...
give the chicken leg to her future son-in-law.
Eun Jung.
Did you use our company's seasoning to cook this?
No, I used natural organic seasoning.
I want you to use our Choigo Foods' seasoning from now on.
Sorry?
Mother, our company's seasoning has artificial additives.
That's why I'm using natural organic seasoning from another company.
She's right. This company makes the best seasoning products.
Just do as I say.
You're able to eat and sleep comfortably,
thanks to all those people who buy our products.
But how can we think about using another company's product?
Don't you think we're deceiving our consumers by doing that?
Eun Jung, just do as I say and start using our company's product.
Okay, Mother.
Hello?
Hi, I'm Kang Sun Ae.
You're Jae Hee's friend.
It's been a while.
I have something to say to you. Can you spare me some time?
Then would you like come to the company later?
Okay, I'll see you later.
I wonder what she has to say to me.
My gosh, why are there so many things?
I bought a few things that Mother likes.
Sun Ho's going to be her son-in-law,
but I'm already her daughter-in-law.
I must use this opportunity to earn points.
Dad.
Sun Ho, don't forget to take everything.
Thanks, Ruby.
My gosh, you can never know who will end up with whom.
That goes for you and Se Na,
and the same goes for Ruby and Se Kang.
I was going to beat him up at first...
because I thought he was a black box thief.
Who would've known that you guys would end up getting married?
You were this close to hitting him.
You almost gave that handsome man a scar.
He was acting like a thief.
I have an appointment, so I'm going to go now.
- Have fun tonight. - Okay.
I should go too.
Ruby, wait.
Why did Se Kang get mistaken as a black box thief?
Oh, that.
I gave Se Kang my car keys because he had left his wallet...
in my car.
He was only looking for his wallet,
but your dad mistook him as a thief.
Usually, your dad can't even carry a crock full of kimchi.
He was surprisingly strong that day.
Do you remember what day that was by any chance?
Of course. It was when Jae Hee got injured.
It all happened in the hospital's parking lot.
But if he needed to find his wallet,
he should've searched the car floor.
The black box is near the rear-view mirror.
Why would Dad have mistaken him as a black box thief?
I guess he was mistaken about what he saw.
It was dark outside,
and everyone was chaotic because of Jae Hee's accident.
Se Kang didn't have a black box installed in his car, right?
Yes, I already told you last time.
Are you definitely sure that he didn't have one?
How would I know?
I had never been inside his car.
So I just believed what he said.
No one's here.
What are you doing in an empty office?
I asked you what you're doing.
Well...
What's this?
Director Choi came to the restaurant yesterday,
and he left his jacket behind.
Okay. I'll give this to him myself.
Okay.
You really need to learn your manners.
Shouldn't you say goodbye to your boss when you're leaving?
How will you do anything else properly...
when you don't even know your basic manners?
But then again, you used to be a butcher at a market.
What could you have learned in that kind of environment?
Director Choi, thank you for your jacket.
Who does she think she is?
Long time no see, Se Na.
Kang Sun Ae, what are you doing here?
I see that you're still working at this company...
with Sun Ho.
Why are you here?
I have an appointment with Sun Ho.
Why would you meet him?
Am I not allowed to meet him?
- What are you here to talk about? - Mind your own business.
Wait. Sun Ho's not in his office right now.
- Let's talk. - I have nothing to say to you.
It won't take long.
I thought you had your own business in Canada.
What are you doing here in Korea?
My mom had cancer surgery, so I came to see her.
I was suddenly reminded of Jae Hee...
while I was at the hospital.
I wondered how much she must've suffered before her death.
Is your mother okay now?
When are you going back to Canada?
Stop trying to change the subject.
I heard you're going to marry Sun Ho.
I heard from my friends.
How could I stay still after hearing that?
You used to be jealous of Jae Hee.
Does Sun Ho know about that?
What are you talking about? When was I ever jealous of Jae Hee?
To be honest, when I first heard about Jae Hee's death,
I immediately thought it was your doing.
Stop talking nonsense.
Jae Hee was my best friend.
I was the one who took care of her when she was bedridden,
and I cried more than anyone...
when Jae Hee died.
You took over everything that Jae Hee used to have.
You made Sun Ho yours,
and I heard you even act like a daughter to Jae Hee's mother.
How despicable.
It's true that I was jealous of Jae Hee.
And I liked Sun Ho way before she did.
But that's when we used to be young and immature.
I don't want to listen to your excuses.
I'm going to tell Sun Ho everything.
He's probably waiting for me.
Wait.
You can't just leave like this.
Do you think I'll just allow you to tell him everything?
I'm not going to go down by myself.
From what I know, you dated countless men...
before you got married.
I'm going to tell your husband how promiscuous you used to be.
Go ahead.
My husband's not that narrow-minded.
But I heard your in-laws are quite strict.
It'll be a different story if they find out about your past.
I heard your in-laws helped you start your business.
Hey, shouldn't you protect both your family and business?
Are you trying to shut my mouth by threatening me like this?
I do everything I put my mind to.
Think carefully about...
what will benefit you.
So I guess you've decided to treat me like you treated Jae Hee.
Nothing's going to stop me.
You won't be safe either if you get in my way.
You know my personality, right?
I'm going to leave now because I have to catch a flight.
But don't think that this is going to be the end.
Even if I decide to let things go,
you're still going to get punished, you evil witch.
Se Na, was it you?
What are you talking about?
Seeing that you're even...
threatening your friend to stop her from saying anything,
you must have something you want to hide.
Tell my why you're doing this.
What did I do?
Why do you keep listening to other people's conversations like a rat?
I just didn't want Sun Ho to think of me badly.
I don't think it was only because of that.
Didn't you cut her out of this photo because...
you were in bad terms with her for a long time, and you wanted her...
to disappear forever?
Why do you have this photo?
Did you go through the trash?
Why are you doing this?
Are you trying to break off my marriage with Sun Ho?
I heard that Jae Hee was supposed to be in this photo too.
And I wondered why you'd cut her out of this photo.
But I heard you admit to everything with your own mouth.
If you liked the director from a long time ago,
and you were also jealous of Jae Hee,
you probably cut her out of the photo because you didn't like her.
You're mistaken about what you heard.
I heard a few things from Se Kang in the past,
so your excuses won't work on me.
I've been reading detective novels recently,
so I tried using my imagination.
Se Kang kept telling me to stop writing novels in my head.
But I can't seem to stop imagining things.
I thought about...
who would be the one to gain the most out of Jae Hee's death.
And I now realize that I wasn't delusional.
Things have become clear now.
You are delusional.
Stop talking nonsense.
It wasn't me. I didn't kill Jae Hee.
But I'm sure you know who did.
Are you crazy?
Are you accusing me for her death?
Why are you being so angry?
You being overly angry like this is making me doubt you more.
You little...
Let go of this!
I was suspicious of Se Kang at first,
but I guess my hunch was wrong.
What?
I wonder why I didn't realize this earlier.
I should've kept in mind that you and Se Kang are a family.
You're completely out of your mind.
You're insane.
I now know why you were so crazy about kicking me out.
It wasn't because you were being loyal to Ms. Yoon,
and it wasn't because you wanted to hide Se Kang's past relationship.
You just let me know that it was because of...
something bigger.
There was Ms. Yoon's allergy incident,
the stolen ring, and the petition written by the employees.
It's all a bit too much...
for everything to be a coincidence.
I wonder why...
you desperately want me to disappear from your life.
Shut it! Stop being unreasonable.
Stop accusing an innocent person.
If I ever catch you eavesdropping again,
I won't forgive you.
Why is she so late?
Something urgent came up, so I don't think I can make it.
I'm sorry.
She called me after several years, and said she'd tell me something.
I wonder what it was about.
Come in.
What are you doing here?
By the way, thank you for the jacket.
There's something you must know.
Here.
This is...
Ms. Hong ripped this photo apart.
Why did she rip this photo?
And why do you have this?
I picked up what she threw away in the trash.
I just overheard her conversation with Jae Hee's friend,
and I was able to...
find out why she cut out Jae Hee from that photo.
She said it was because there was a coffee stain on the photo.
Just like Chef Jung, you also must think that...
Jae Hee and Ms. Hong were best friends.
Sometimes, the truth isn't what you see with your eyes,
just like the incident that happened four years ago.
That's how Jae Hee and Ms. Hong's relationship was like.
What do you mean?
You were supposed to meet with a woman named Sun Ae, right?
You should meet with her and check.
See if Ms. Hong really cut that photo because of a coffee stain,
or if there's another hidden reason.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out something new.
I'll go now.
(Kang Sun Ae)
The receiver cannot answer your call. Please leave a message...
Why did you go to the restaurant yesterday?
Dal Nim came here to return your jacket.
I told you to...
keep your distance with her.
I went there because I had something to say to her.
What did you have to say to her?
Why did you have to...
go all the way to the restaurant to talk to her privately?
Do I need to tell you every single detail?
Why?
Is there a secret that you're keeping from me?
"A secret"?
If it's not a secret, why can't you tell me?
I went there to talk about her mother.
Are you still helping her with that?
You already gave her back the cell phone strap.
She might've committed an unforgivable sin,
but it doesn't feel right to ignore her...
when she's looking for her mother.
So I just told her about what I remembered.
What did you remember?
You don't need to know about that.
You're not even interested in her.
What about you? Do you remember anything, Se Na?
We ran into each other that night.
Did you not see her mother?
How can I remember something that happened over four years ago?
I don't remember anything.
We shouldn't be talking about her mother right now.
I don't understand why we always have to fight because of her.
That's exactly what I want to say.
Why do you always react so sensitive towards her?
Do you really not know why?
Because of Jae Hee?
Is that really the only reason?
What do you mean by that?
Are you saying that I might have another reason for acting this way?
Forget it.
Jae Wook's already helping her,
but I don't understand why you're even stepping up...
to help her.
I said forget it.
I have to go somewhere right now.
Please come to my house in time for dinner.
Okay.
Dal Nim wouldn't have said anything to him, right?
Sun Ae.
Why did you just leave without seeing me?
You said you have something to tell me.
Well, the thing is...
I heard you met Se Na.
What did she say to you?
Please tell me.
What is it that I need to know?
Is it true that...
Se Na and Jae Hee weren't on good terms?
Didn't you know?
Are you serious?
I felt uneasy about leaving, so I wondered if I should call you again.
So I'm glad you came.
You shouldn't do this to Jae Hee.
What do you mean?
Out of all the people in this world, why must you marry Se Na?
Do you know how mean she was to Jae Hee?
How bad was their relationship?
Se Na and Jae Hee only pretended to be close,
but they really hated each other.
Se Na was extremely jealous of Jae Hee.
She went around telling people that Jae Hee's mother was a concubine.
Do you know how much Jae Hee suffered because of Se Na?
Jae Hee often called me...
to complain about what happened before she got married.
She said Se Na kept trying to ruin her marriage.
But how can you get married to Se Na?
I just feel sorry for Jae Hee.
Yes, I know Kang Sun Ae.
She sometimes even came over to our house.
I really didn't know that Se Na and Jae Hee...
were on bad terms.
But that's still not enough to be suspicious of Se Na.
I've been focusing too much on Se Kang until now,
so I totally forgot about doubting Ms. Hong.
Se Kang didn't have a strong motive,
but that's not the case for Ms. Hong...
if she was in a bad relationship with Jae Hee.
I can't believe Se Na would do that though.
I don't want to think of her as the culprit either.
But if I combine all the strange things that happened until now,
they all come together.
But we don't have any clear evidence to blame her.
We need to find out what she was doing...
on the day of the accident.
- Eun Jung. - My goodness.
- My gosh. Did you just get home? - Yes.
- Where's Mother? - She went to do volunteer work.
Come here for a second.
- Why? - Just follow me.
(Wet Cloth Cleaner)
Ta-da.
Gosh, we already have a vacuum cleaner.
- What if Mother finds out? - My gosh.
This is not an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
It's a wet mop cleaner.
"A wet mop cleaner"? I didn't know this kind of thing even existed.
That means I won't have to wipe the floor sitting down anymore.
That's right. I bought this because...
I was worried that you might hurt your back.
Here, look at this.
My gosh.
Do you see how bright and shiny the floor has become?
You're right.
My mom might scold you if she finds out about this,
so hide it and use it when she's not here.
- Okay, thank you. - No problem.
My goodness.
Mom, you're home early.
You must be hungry.
Dinner's ready.
- You should go and get changed. - Yes, okay.
Eun Jung, why do you look so nervous?
Did you buy something from the home shopping channel again?
No... No, of course not.
Well... I think I have menopause.
My hands and feet feel numb.
Then take medicine...
or go to the hospital.
Yes, okay.
She's living without leaving any kind of trace?
Why would she do that?
It's feels so weird the more I think about it.
She has no records of going abroad,
which means she's definitely here in Korea.
It'd be possible if she got into an accident.
"An accident"?
Here.
There we go.
- Eat up. - Thank you for the meal.
She's always wanted to give the chicken leg to her son-in-law.
She prepared it just for you.
Thank you.
I hope you treat my Se Na well, my son-in-law.
Mom, don't call him that.
Why?
I'm his mother-in-law. Why can't I call him that?
You can do that after we get married.
My gosh, okay. I won't call him my son-in-law.
Eat up, my son-in-law.
My gosh, Mom. Stop it.
I'm sorry. I keep wanting to call you that.
Sun Ho can't even eat because of you.
Eat up, Sun Ho.
Okay.
You should eat. Here's the salt.
My gosh, I'm so sorry.
- It's okay. - What should I do?
What happened to your T-shirt?
It was because of me.
I'll take the stain off. Take it off and give it to me.
I can just get changed to whatever I have in my office.
You all should go home.
Dal Nim, what are you going to do? That T-shirt is really expensive.
It's worth our monthly salary.
Really?
It's from a luxury fashion brand. Do you not even know that?
What should I do?
You must know everything.
How incredible.
Chef Jung's mother is the CEO of Hyunsung Holdings.
He's the son of a conglomerate.
So I'm sure he only wears things from luxury fashion brands.
But then again, what would you know?
You're frugal, and you have no sense of artistic taste.
I'm just good at saving money.
I'm sorry.
You can turn back now.
I heard that T-shirt is expensive.
I'll take the stain out. Give it to me.
It's okay. I can just send it to the dry cleaner's tomorrow.
It'll be hard to take the stain out tomorrow.
Give it to me.
I'll hang this where there's a nice, cool breeze.
And I'll even...
iron it for you tomorrow.
Thank you.
No, it was my fault.
It'd be nice if you did the laundry for me every day.
You wanted me to feed you last time.
Now, you want me to do the laundry?
Fine, then. The rice cooker will make the rice,
and the laundry machine will do the laundry.
Thank you. You should go now.
Okay. Bye, then.
Are you okay, Sun Ho?
I'm worried that you might've eaten too much...
because of my mom.
You're going through a lot by having to act like a son-in-law already.
You should sit down.
I have something to ask you.
Can you show me that photo you had last time?
That photo you accidentally dropped at Ms. Yoon's office.
Please show it to me if you have it with you.
Why do you suddenly want to see that?
Didn't you always carry it in this notebook?
I lost it.
Are you sure you didn't throw it away?
Why would I throw it away?
What made you so angry...
that made you tear this into pieces?
Was I the one who made you angry?
Fine. I tore it up.
On the day we visited Ms. Yoon,
I got angry because you weren't being considerate about my feelings.
That's why I tore it apart.
I felt sorry and thankful towards you.
I felt sorry for not being considerate about how you feel,
and I felt thankful because you were always willing to...
sacrifice yourself for me.
But you no longer seem like...
the Se Na I know.
What do you mean?
You said you liked me before Jae Hee did.
But do you really think Jae Hee didn't know about that?
You said you didn't say anything to Jae Hee.
But then, why would she have suffered because of you?
Why do you think Jae Hee kept pretending like she didn't know...
how I felt towards her when she already did?
Why do you think she insisted that I should take...
good care of you when you first started working at our company?
I can't help but think that she already knew about your feelings.
She probably suffered as much as you did.
You keep talking about Jae Hee!
Stop it already!
I'm so sick of hearing her name.
What is it that you want to say to me?
Are you sure you didn't purposely...
cut Jae Hee out of this photo?
No. I already told you.
Yes, I also want to believe you,
but I'm starting to doubt you...
because of how you're acting right now.
Sun Ho, why are you being like this? What did you hear?
I told you already.
Jae Hee and I had a perfectly fine relationship.
I met Jae Hee's high school friend.
She seemed to know you very well too.
Are you talking about Kang Sun Ae?
Sun Ae's been living abroad for so long.
She doesn't know anything about me and Jae Hee.
She's only being like that...
because she's jealous of my relationship with Jae Hee.
Why are you believing a stranger instead of me?
I heard the same thing about you and Jae Hee...
from Dal Nim.
Do you know that you've become weird...
after you started to get along with her?
What does she even mean to you?
Why are you being swayed by what she says?
Don't you know who she is?
She's the one who murdered Jae Hee.
How could you believe the words of a murderer?
I also want to believe everything you say,
but you and Se Kang...
are always so overly aggressive towards Dal Nim.
And there are so many strange things that I can't understand.
"Strange things"?
Tell me. What do you think is strange?
Dal Nim once asked me...
about Ruby's black box footage.
On the day that Jae Hee collapsed,
I heard that Se Kang went to Ruby's car...
to look for the wallet he left behind.
But I'm wondering if he was really looking for his wallet or if...
Sun Ho, what's wrong with you? Don't be like this.
What did Dal Nim say to you...
for you to act like this?
You can't do this to me.
I did so much for you and Jae Hee.
You can't treat me like this when you already know me so well.
This is all because of Dal Nim.
She wants to break our relationship apart.
She already turned Ms. Yoon and Jae Wook against each other.
And now, she's trying to do the same thing with us.
Can't you see?
It's too dangerous to keep her by your side!
I also thought she was a dangerous person at first.
But I don't think of her that way anymore.
She doesn't seem like the type to harm us.
You're getting fooled by her.
She's doing this with hidden intentions.
Dal Nim...
isn't the kind of person you think she is.
Sun Ho!
Who's here to see me at this hour?
Who is it?
Director Choi.
(Sweet Enemy)
I found the email record that Ms. Hong had exchanged...
with our clients.
Are you switching bags right now?
My daughter's sick.
Since when was the director's office...
allowed to be entered by strangers like this?
