What brings you by?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about everything. I'm to blame for it all.
From the first day we met until now,
everything that happened is my fault.
I won't ever blame you even though I die in the process,
so...
help me go to prison instead.
It's my last wish.
How? You said there was no way.
The stock manipulation scandal.
I was the one who put it in motion.
According to Jeon Byung Soo, we can rectify the situation.
Nam Koo just has to recant his story,
so please talk him into doing so.
You still don't know anything about him.
Listen up.
I'll tell you what kind of a man he is.
When I had amnesia and was lost,
he was the only one who offered to help me.
When you sold me to the hostess bar,
when you mangled his hand and ruined completely,
he didn't resent anyone...
although he knew who was responsible.
At 18, he went to prison while...
defending his sister.
Ms. Kim's hands have blisters from washing cars,
but he still knows her as the world's best mom.
When I was bent on getting my revenge on you,
he was willing to sacrifice his life for me.
- Stop... - I won't.
You keep listening.
His uncle abandoned him,
his mother was cruel and didn't recognize him,
but he didn't for even once resent either of you.
That man is now angry though.
Who do you think caused that?
Since...
you're his mom though,
he still feels bad for you.
I know.
That's why I'm begging you to help me.
Nam Koo...
You're the only one who can talk him out of this.
After...
all I've done,
do I even have the right to ask him to send you to prison instead?
I can't live without you.
Mother...
is willing to go to prison instead.
You don't want that,
but...
you have no idea how it is for a mother.
Do you know what I regret the most?
I wish I could've died instead of Jae Min.
That's enough. This doesn't concern you anyway.
I could say that to you.
This wouldn't have happened if you had stayed out of my business,
so why didn't you?
Don't think that I want to go to prison.
I hate the idea too.
I don't want to leave my family behind either.
But I have to.
Otherwise, 30 years of searching for me would've been for nothing.
Should Ms. Hong still go instead?
I know you would've done this for Jae Min,
but I'd rather go to prison myself.
You can't talk me out of it.
You're going to prison instead of Nam Koo?
The whole scandal was my doing anyway,
so it's the right thing to do.
Isn't there a way for you all to stay out of prison?
I'm afraid I've done too many wrong things.
I'm not comfortable with this.
I can't ask him to let you go to prison instead.
I have no right to, but you do.
You're his mother.
It won't work.
Even as a little boy, he was always too stubborn.
Can you wait a while? I have a lot to sign off on.
Step aside.
I told you to wait.
I see the company's been a mess in my absence.
Step aside. This is not your place.
Is it yours then?
It's vacant, so it's anyone's to take.
Tomorrow, the police will question you again.
If we get our stories straight, you'll have a better chance.
Why do I have to be questioned?
Why?
It's a plane ticket.
Who are you to act strong when you're thinking about fleeing?
Give that back.
Answer any questions in that exact position.
I'll have you released as soon as I can.
As if you really care.
I'm not stepping a foot outside this office.
Drag him out.
Stay quietly at home.
Let go of me. Let go!
I'm the CEO.
Let go. Let go of me.
I hate the idea too.
I don't want to leave my family behind either.
But I have to. Otherwise,
30 years of searching for me would've been for nothing.
Let go of me. Let go!
Do you want to lose your jobs?
Let go.
- Scoffing, are we? - Do you regret your actions?
No, not at all.
I learned something as the CEO.
Whoever sticks around the longest prevails.
Didn't you get the memo?
Sometimes, losing is winning.
That I don't know of.
I endured a tough life.
You know more than anyone that I did.
I shed tears of blood for this seat.
It's all over now, so let it go.
No, I'm just getting started.
I won't stop until I'm done.
She met her son after 28 years,
but now they'll be separated again.
She still found him though.
I'm sure things will get better over time.
They waited 28 years. A few more they can endure.
What will happen to Nam Koo now?
I don't know.
I wish Nam Koo would just give in.
Whoever's responsible should pay the price.
I hate to say this, but I'm worried about what'll happen to Nam Koo.
For his sake, I wish the best for Ms. Hong too.
CEO Shin is deeply concerned about Nam Koo as well.
Do Hoon, why are you standing out here?
- Let's head inside. - No.
I saw you, so I'm good.
I'll get going then.
Nam Koo, you should go to him.
You must be happy to have everyone looking out for you.
Where's your sense of loyalty?
You said you'd be by my side.
Don't you worry. I will go to prison too.
Anyway, don't run. It'll only ruin your life more.
I don't want to be a fugitive.
So can you help me fake my death?
What?
I once did so with Mo Ah.
I'm an orphan.
No one will care to look for me.
Being dead means no jail time.
So ask your biological mother a favor.
This is her specialty.
You're insane.
I've lived the life of the upper class.
Anything's possible.
It's true. Money can buy everything.
Don't be stupid and just stay put.
Isn't there a way to pin this all on Do Hoon?
No, we can't do that to Do Hoon.
Why not?
He nearly killed your brother...
and has made me part with my own son.
Fine.
I'll go to prison instead, so just find me a way.
If that's the case, then you can turn yourself in.
Turn myself in?
Nam Koo's only taking your place.
If he can't anymore, then he'll be free.
He won't go to prison if I turn myself in.
Will he agree to it?
Do what you do best and blackmail him.
Either he goes free, of you both go to jail.
I'm sure that'll change his mind.
I'm saying this because I feel bad for you.
How do I go to prison then?
Am I supposed to rob a store?
Your slush fund.
Turn yourself in with that.
Now you know why I'm this way.
That's the kind of woman your mom is.
Unbelievable.
If she turns herself in,
- you won't have to go to jail. - Where's the flash drive?
Why?
- Where is it? - I don't know.
I wouldn't tell you if I knew though.
I need it to blackmail your mother.
- She can help me fake my death. - You!
Let go of me so that I can find the flash drive.
I'll see you.
I'll go to prison instead, so let me.
I won't be your mother but the nasty Ms. Hong,
so let me go to prison.
Keep going. I'd like to hear what's next.
You already know my answer.
Fine. We'll both go to prison then.
I'll just serve my time too.
Go home and rest.
Show's over.
Show? Do you think that I'm bluffing?
I do what I set my mind on. That's my way of life.
Like you said, I only care about myself.
Hit once, I hit back twice. Hit twice, I hit back three times.
Until my anger subsides.
I always put my family first no matter who pointed fingers at me.
Do you really expect me to do nothing while...
my son goes to jail for me?
Are you seriously blackmailing me?
Yes, I am.
I'm blackmailing my own son because that's what I do best.
Can't you tell how serious I am about saving you?
Do whatever you want.
It's true that you don't know me at all though.
I hate those who blackmail others the most because...
my mom and sister have been belittled all their lives.
It's why I fight back against those who intimidate others.
That being from my long lost mom...
sure is a wakeup call.
We'll just have to go together to prison.
You sure are my boy.
Fine. We'll both rot in jail.
There's no way she'd leave it in plain sight.
She must have a safe somewhere.
Is it in the study?
I knew it.
The code.
What could the code be?
Is it Min Joon's birthday?
I'm glad you're home. I was on my way to see you.
Get out of my way. I have nothing to say to you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Are you willing to go to prison for me?
You're insane.
Does me having this change your mind?
Give it back.
Where's the fun in that?
Hand it over. I will never go to prison for you.
I wouldn't ask a stranger to do so.
Help me fake my death like you did with Mo Ah.
It's your specialty.
That won't keep you out of prison.
Once you're caught, they'll run your prints.
Don't worry. That'll be my problem.
As if you care.
You really have gone insane.
Everyone's running here and there trying to save Nam Koo.
I don't have anyone, so this is what I have to do.
Help me fake my death so that I can go back to my old life.
Fine. Just give me the flash drive.
Hand it over.
Give it here.
Are you insane? This is my lifeline.
Hand it over.
Get away from me or I'll kill you.
Nam Koo, be careful. He's not in his right mind.
You heard her. I have nothing to lose.
Are you threatening me too?
What's with you both today?
Why are you both blackmailing me?
I told you not to make me angry. I told you to stop.
Ms. Hong, why don't we see who goes to prison first?
No, Nam Koo. Please don't!
Give it back.
Come on. I won't keep it.
I'll get what I want and then return it.
No, don't. Don't give it to him.
Give it to your mom. Hand it over.
Give it to me. We're friends, aren't we?
Shut it!
You both are insane.
Nam Koo. Nam Koo!
I came to talk. There's something I need to say.
About what?
Ms. Hong will use this to have herself arrested...
while I listen to you explain.
Your mom is desperate.
Don't call her that. She's not my mom.
Nam Koo, don't do this.
Uncle.
I'll think of you as my uncle, so stop this.
I know you feel guilty about abandoning me, but stop it.
I know you'd go to prison instead if you weren't dying,
so just stop it.
Your mom and I should be punished for everything we've done.
Then apologize to Mo Ah...
for I won't change my mind.
His mother was cruel and didn't recognize him,
but he didn't for even once resent either of you.
That man is now angry though.
Who do you think caused that?
Since you're his mom though, he still feels bad for you.
Where are you going?
I'm off to run someone over.
Run someone over? What do you mean by that?
It doesn't matter what I go to prison for anyway.
You're out of your mind.
Do Hoon did it, so why can't I?
I know why he did it now.
Being cornered makes you act desperately.
You can't kill an innocent though.
Why don't you let me run you over then?
Sure. Let's do that.
I'm not in the mood for jokes, so please step aside.
I'm not joking.
Step aside.
How could I ever run you over?
This is what we do.
This'll be our last grand scheme.
If you're badly injured,
I won't be able to look at your brother ever again.
Don't worry. I'll jump to safety at the last minute.
Saving Min Joon should come first.
Why come here instead of resting at home?
I came to see you one last time.
One last time?
Are you going somewhere?
I'm heading to the States for a while. I'm sorry.
If that's what you want, go there and relax.
Make sure you come back soon though.
I'm sorry, Tae Hak.
Although I'm leaving first, I wish you all the best.
Why won't you answer me?
You can't be absent for too long, all right?
Of course.
Take care of yourself. I'll see you.
Tae Hak, I'm sorry.
Please forgive your foolish brother.
Don't mention Ms. Hong in front of CEO Shin.
He'll know sooner or later.
What will you say to him though?
I'm telling him that his brother is sick.
He shouldn't be left in the dark.
You're here.
You don't look too well. Should I call your doctor?
No, I'm good.
Nam Koo,
are you still fixed on going to prison?
I'm sorry.
How did we get into this mess?
Even Tae Jin's now going to the States.
- What? - He came by just now...
to tell me he was leaving.
I don't understand though.
Why would he leave when the company's a mess?
It's not like him.
Your mom and I should be punished for everything we've done.
How do I go to prison then?
Am I supposed to rob a store?
- Where's Ms. Hong now? - Why?
Is there something wrong with Tae Jin?
He's in a lot of trouble.
Everything's set.
Right after the accident, call the police.
Tell them that I deliberately ran into Myung Sook's car...
to get revenge for Woo Shik's death.
That will save Myung Sook.
Is this really necessary?
I'm dying anyway.
I'm only speeding the clock a bit.
Thank you for your service, Choi.
Myung Sook, I'm ready.
(Nam Koo)
What a fine day.
28 years ago,
Min Joon's accident happened on a fine day like this too.
Uncle!
Are you trying to make more of a mess of this family?
Nam Koo, are you all right? Are you hurt?
Is this how it's going to be?
You tricked me so that I'd kill Nam Koo.
You got rid of Do Hoon and me, so all that's left was him.
You idiot!
How could I live if you left me like this?
Honey, it's all right. I wasn't going to hurt him much.
How could you?
Is it because he's going to die anyway?
Why would he die anyway? Is he ill?
You fool.
Were you that guilty?
Guilty enough to take your own life?
How could you?
Didn't you at all think of how devastated I'd be?
Why would Tae Jin die?
Tell me. Are you ill?
Just how sick are you to think you'd die?
Mo Ah, is he ill?
Let me see you.
Tae Jin, are you ill?
Tell me what's wrong with you.
You must be ill enough to be ready to die.
Don't tell me it's for Nam Koo.
If I kill you just to save my son,
how would I ever face yours?
Nam Koo would never agree to it!
You're right.
I'm to blame for Woo Shik's death.
My greed is why you couldn't save him.
Still, you can't leave us this way.
I'll die instead.
Let me die so just...
Why are you and Nam Koo doing this to me?
Why are you putting me in this awful position?
Tae Jin, you'll seek treatment.
Honey, give him an earful right now.
He listens to everything you say to him.
Tae Jin, let's get you some help.
I will if Nam Koo agrees not to go to prison.
You should go to the hospital.
Don't worry too much.
We'll take care of Nam Hui as if she were our own.
Thank you so much. It's a huge relief.
Why don't I move here and take care of you too?
No, that's all right. I'm still quite young.
Isn't Nam Koo with you?
He went to CEO Shin's house.
I think Ms. Hong will be questioned by the police.
Did they really manage to change Nam Koo's mind?
Uncle, are you all right?
I'm fine.
As if.
I bet you haven't been able to sleep.
With treatment, he'll have more years to live.
About 10 years or so.
We sure are dramatic like the Avengers.
Mom, you finally got your way.
It'd be perfect if only Do Hoon and Young Hwa were here.
Don't you agree?
Ask Do Hoon down so he can eat with us.
He's not home. He left already.
Don't be like that and go upstairs to him.
I see you're here.
You know I was.
I'm sure you won't eat with us.
Aren't you going to help me?
With faking your death? You're unbelievable.
You'll be nothing but a ghost afterwards.
I'd rather be one.
No one will see me as any better.
Mom, is Do Hoon in his room?
No, he isn't!
He isn't in his room, so dig in.
Finally, our whole family is together.
Why are you so chirpy when you'll be arrested soon?
Why would I cry on such a good day?
We should live one day at a time.
Let's eat.
I'd like a meal too.
Were you at home?
I can't believe you.
No, I just got back from meeting my lawyer.
I needed options.
Mom, could I have a meal too?
Eat mine. I don't have much of an appetite.
You're really the best.
Why aren't you eating?
Has seeing my face made you lose your appetite?
Fine. I'll get going and let you eat in peace.
Thank you for the meal.
That annoying little jerk.
I'd like for him to have stayed. Why is everyone so testy?
The fortuneteller said that...
we have knives pointed at each other.
She said one has to die.
One of us has to die?
Then it's probably you.
If you don't want to, lower your knives...
or at least pretend to die.
What are you doing here?
You should be home.
- I'm here to kidnap you. - What?
You'll be my hostage.
I'm sorry, but I just can't go to prison.
