(Episode 17)
Listen to me carefully. The next time I see you,
you'll be crying out for your life instead of asking me to believe you.
I'm going to do...
everything I can to torment your daughter until she dies.
Mom!
My goodness.
What brings you here?
What do you think?
You should already know.
Sorry?
I heard Ms. Oh Dal Nim is locked up at a detention center.
I'll get to the point.
- Please sign this paper. - What is it?
Can't you see?
I want to terminate the contract.
You want to terminate the contract?
How can you do that?
We spent our whole fortune to pre-order all the meat.
That's none of my business.
This all happened because Ms. Oh Dal Nim committed a crime.
Normally, I'd ask you to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract.
You should be thankful that I'm just ending it here.
- Hurry up and sign it. - No, you can't do this.
Dal Nim will get released soon.
My gosh.
Hurry up and sign it.
No. I can't do that, sir.
- Sir! Please don't do this. - Let me go.
- What is wrong with you? - Please don't do this.
What's going on, Mother?
- Who are you? - My gosh.
- Sir! - Mother.
Why is your restaurant so messy? Who did this?
Was it him?
- Mother. - Dal Nim.
Dal Nim.
Please don't do this, Mom.
You don't need to do this. They're already suffering right now.
It's nothing compared to what Jae Hee had to go through.
You threw a fit at their restaurant,
and you're pressuring the prosecution.
If you keep doing this...
Did you think I'd let her keep that restaurant like nothing happened?
And I never asked the prosecution to falsely accuse someone.
I only asked them to do their best to reveal the truth.
What's so wrong about that?
I'd even kill her...
if I could.
- Mom. - Shut it.
I lost my child. I can do anything now.
Mother, please eat.
My mom made this for you.
What's that?
This is what Dal Nim was wearing on the day she first...
came to us.
You know too, right?
I may not be...
Dal Nim's birth mother.
But I thought of her as my own child.
Of course, I know.
That's why I told you that I think you guys must've been a family...
in your past life.
I was never able to get anything proper for Dal Nim.
I only made her suffer.
Every time I think about Dal Nim...
Mother.
Please be honest with me.
What will happen to Dal Nim now?
I'll be honest with you...
since you ask.
Like what you've seen in court today,
I don't think it'll be easy for her to get released.
Jung Hoon and I are doing our best to prove her innocence,
but it's really not easy.
What will we do about Dal Nim?
Ms. Kang, are you home?
I'll go see who it is. Just a second.
(My Love Ruby)
Mother. Mother.
It's the realtor. I think you should come out for a while.
You said you wanted me to take out the deposit for your restaurant.
This is it.
- Thank you. - By the way, Ms. Kang.
The owner of the restaurant wanted me to tell you that...
he wants you to move out as soon as possible.
What? Why all of a sudden?
We still have some time until the contract ends.
Well...
After he heard that Dal Nim went to a detention center...
Excuse me, ma'am. This is a total breach of contract.
- There's still some time left. - Okay.
I understand. I'll do as he says.
Okay. Then I'll go now.
Gosh, Mother.
Come and sit down.
This is the deposit for the restaurant.
Why are you giving me this?
Please give this to Mr. Han.
Please ask him to help Dal Nim get released.
I'll sell my wedding ring and anything else if needed.
If you need more money, I'll make it somehow.
If the current lawyer can't do it,
I'll ask a more expensive lawyer to defend her.
I heard that expensive lawyers...
are even capable of releasing guilty people.
Mother, this problem can't be solved with money.
And...
I'll take care of the lawyer fee.
I have nothing else I can do as Dal Nim's mother.
Please, Se Kang. Please help her.
Why are you adding onto this? Please stop it!
I also want Dal Nim to get released.
But I can't do anything right now!
I'm also extremely frustrated, Mother!
Se Kang.
My gosh. I'm sorry.
I should go now.
And...
you can keep this.
Be honest with me.
Do you think Dal Nim's innocent?
I'll be honest since you ask.
I did at first.
But as I read over the case files, I've lost trust in her.
About Dal Nim's bracelet...
Dal Nim came to my workplace...
on the day of the incident.
I saw her wearing that bracelet that day.
My mom also met her that day.
She saw her wearing it too.
Dal Nim was wearing a bracelet.
Why are you telling me that now?
How could I tell you that?
It's obviously going to be disadvantageous to Dal Nim.
If that's the case, you're only giving her false hope...
by saying that she's innocent.
I really thought the bracelet didn't belong to Dal Nim.
You already know, don't you?
Dal Nim and her mom think that I'm going to prove her innocence.
How could I even say that to them?
Don't be upset about what I'm about to say.
We won't be able to turn this case around.
Unless we find any crucial evidence to prove that she's innocent,
it'll be completely impossible.
Also, she's going against Hyunsung Holdings and Choigo Foods.
How will she win against such powerful companies?
I've talked to a couple prosecutors.
They say the CEO of Hyunsung has a lot of influence.
On top of that, if Dal Nim was really wearing that bracelet...
What is it that you want to say?
I'm telling you to face reality...
and make a smart decision.
It's better to make her admit her crime...
and reduce her sentence.
That could be best for both you and Dal Nim.
Why would it be best for me?
You always wanted to break up with Dal Nim.
Are you planning to get married to an ex-convict?
There's nothing you can do about the baby,
but you should end things with Dal Nim once the trial ends.
You need to live too.
Where are you going?
Aunt Ruby, let's go somewhere if you have time.
Where?
My goodness.
You could at least tell me first.
Sun Ho.
Can we stop looking and go home now?
It's not here.
Someone could've picked it up,
or it could've gone down the drain.
What are you going to do with that ring anyway?
That ring lost its owner anyway.
Just because Jae Hee's gone...
doesn't mean our memories have also disappeared.
Okay, fine. Let's look for it.
Mom, it's me.
Yes, I'm going to go home now.
The park?
You didn't need to come all the way here.
I'm sorry that I can't be of any help, Ms. Kang.
No, don't say that. I think I was being a bit too self-centered.
It's natural for your mother to act that way.
So...
don't visit me anymore.
I'll take care of Dal Nim's problem on my own.
By the way, I have a question.
I was actually at the charnel house on the day of your sister's funeral.
Other than you and that director,
I also saw a young man.
A young man?
I think you're talking about Sun Ho's aunt's boyfriend.
His name is Hong Se Kang.
He works in the legal team at Choigo Foods.
Boyfriend?
Are you serious? Are you sure you're not mistaken?
No. He's really her boyfriend.
From what I know, he was also at the summer house...
because he got invited to the party.
But why do you ask all of a sudden?
Oh, it's nothing.
Who left this ring on my desk?
Ms. Hong left it for you a while ago.
How can he be her boyfriend?
Where did I write down Se Kang's home address?
Here it is.
Wait.
That man is...
The receiver cannot answer your call.
Your Honor, I'd like to call Jo Byung Soo,
the witness of the incident, to the witness stand.
I testified everything exactly like you told me to.
So let's end our deal. Please give me my money.
Okay.
I can't believe this. Was it...
Se Kang's family who put the blame on Dal Nim?
Here. Count the money at home.
- Can I trust you? - Yes, of course.
Listen to me carefully.
We've never met each other.
And if we ever run into each other,
we need to pretend like we don't know each other.
I'm not a child. Don't worry.
- I'll be off now. - Okay, bye.
Mom.
- Se Na. - What about Jo Byung Soo?
I handled everything, so you don't need to worry.
Mom, is everything over now?
Yes, it's over.
Jo Byung Soo took his money and left.
And Jae Hee, the only person who knows about what you did, is dead.
You and I are the only ones who know that you're the one...
who pushed Jae Hee from the terrace,
and that you left her to die in her hospital room.
Don't ever tell Se Kang about what happened in the hospital room.
We need to keep this secret...
until the day we die.
Do you understand?
Mom, isn't she Dal Nim's mom?
What should we do? She must've heard our conversation.
What are you doing? Catch her.
My gosh.
I can't believe this. It's as if I've won the lottery.
Why didn't you catch that woman?
What's wrong with you? Why would I catch her?
If we don't catch her, you and I will be done for.
If you don't want to get arrested, hurry up and catch her. Hurry!
Hurry!
My goodness. I can't believe this.
My goodness.
My gosh, did we lose her?
No, we have to find her. If not, we'll all die.
I'll go to the right. You should go to the left.
Okay.
(Lawyer Han Jung Hoon)
That lawyer is Se Kang's friend.
He might be involved in this scheme. My gosh, what should I do?
(Jae Wook)
(Dal Nim's mother)
Please press one to leave a voice message.
Jae Wook. Jae Wook!
Give it to me. Give it to me.
Ms. Kang, calm down. It's a misunderstanding. Please listen.
A misunderstanding?
You're trying to falsely accuse Dal Nim.
How could you do this when you're human?
Give me my cell phone.
- Give me my cell phone. - Please stop. No.
- My gosh, wait. Stop it. - Give it to me.
- Give it to me. - My gosh.
- Give me my cell phone. - Stop it.
My gosh, get off me!
Ms... Ms. Kang.
Ms. Kang, wake up. Ms. Kang.
Ms. Kang?
- Mom. - Se Na.
What should we do? I think she hurt her head.
My gosh, should we call 911?
No. We can't call 911.
Mom, where's Jo Byung Soo?
He's... He's probably nearby.
Call him and tell him to come here right now.
Se Kang didn't take his car today, did he?
I'll go home and get his car.
Okay.
Se Na.
Sun Ho, what are you doing here?
Why are you so surprised?
Well, it's because you just popped out of nowhere.
But why are you here? Did you come here to see me?
Yes.
But my house is the other way. Why are you coming from here?
I think I saw...
Oh Dal Nim's mother on my way to your house.
Why would her mom come here?
You could've been mistaken.
Is your mom over there?
No. Why would my mom be there?
Sun Ho, there's a cafe nearby. Let's go there.
Okay.
Yes, okay.
Hey, come here.
What is this?
This woman was filming the two of us meeting up with each other.
You and I are on the same boat now.
If you don't want to drown, you better do as I say.
Why are you doing this to me? You said I just need to testify.
I don't know. Take care of this on your own.
Do you want to get punished for perjury?
What? I never committed perjury.
If she wakes up...
and takes that video to the police,
you and I won't be safe.
Do you still not understand?
What's your point?
You'll be safe if you do as I say.
Just do as I tell you,
and I'll give you money.
You love money.
How much?
What's taking you so long?
What? You're with Director Choi?
Okay, I'll take care of this.
So just make sure he doesn't get suspicious of anything. Okay.
We need to take her to a hospital.
I'll go get my car, so wait here.
Let's use my car. It's parked in front of the park.
I heard you left this on my desk.
How did you find it?
I picked it up that day and kept it with me.
This ring might wear out as time goes by,
but...
your memory of Jae Hee will never fade.
This ring...
shows how much you love her.
Keep this with you and don't forget about her.
I thought I'd never be able to find it again.
Thank you.
I learned this time around...
that sadness cannot be shared.
I realized that everything's up to me.
Nobody could hurt on behalf of me.
I'm also going through such a hard time,
so I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you.
I know that no words will be able to console or comfort you.
But...
I hope at least you'll feel better by knowing that I'm by your side.
- Who is that woman anyway? - I'll tell you later.
- Hurry up and find a hospital. - Which hospital should I go to?
It would be safe to get out of Seoul first.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Do you feel better now?
Where am I?
Who are you?
Can you not remember who I am?
My gosh, call the doctor.
It's okay. It's okay. Everything will be fine.
She lost her memory?
Didn't you say that her surgery went well?
The surgery itself went well.
Her memory loss isn't coming from brain damage.
It seems like it's coming from severe stress, insecurity, and fear.
She seems to have hysterical amnesia due to mental shock.
Has the patient recently experienced anything shocking?
Actually, her daughter got locked up recently.
She got shocked because of that.
That could've affected the patient to become like this.
Then when do you think her memory will come back?
It's a temporary phenomenon,
so her memory will come back with time.
But we can never be sure when.
Mom, why did you ask to meet me here?
Let's go inside and talk.
What happened to Dal Nim's mom?
She got surgery and is hospitalized.
But she has a problem remembering things because she hurt her head.
What? Do you mean she lost her memory?
Yes. The doctor said she'll recover with time,
but it's actually a good thing for us.
If we keep her by our side,
she'll never be able to find out about what we did.
Who's staying with her at the hospital?
Don't worry. Jo Byung Soo is with her right now.
But we need to tell others that she ran away in the middle of the night.
Do you understand?
We don't have time. Let's pack her clothes, jewelry, and bankbook.
We need to pack anything that's worth money.
- Hurry. You go that way. - Okay.
Mom, there's nothing worth any money in Dal Nim's room.
I could only find some cash and accessories.
Put it inside.
What's this?
There's a lot of money inside.
Hurry up and pack it.
Isn't this enough? Let's hurry up and leave.
You know we can't tell Se Kang about this, right?
Of course. He'll go crazy if he finds out.
Let's go.
Where were you guys?
When did you come? You said you were coming home late today.
What's that?
What? It's nothing.
- Mom, I'm going to go to my room. - Okay.
I'm glad that the trial ended well.
You must be tired from putting so much effort into the trial.
- You should go and rest. - Okay.
Poor Dal Nim.
Would it be better for her to admit that she did it?
(Dal Nim's mother: 1 new voice message)
Here is your message.
Jae Wook. Jae Wook!
Did something happen to her?
(Dal Nim's mother)
I was so worried that Se Kang might get suspicious.
(Jae Wook)
It's Jae Wook.
Mom, shouldn't we get rid of this cell phone?
We can't do that yet.
We need to make Se Kang and Dal Nim believe us.
(Let's sincerely care for them and lead them in the right direction.)
It was a done deal when that witness came out.
Unless we find any evidence to prove that you're completely innocent,
it'll be impossible to turn this case around.
So what are you trying to say?
It's foolish to plead that you're innocent.
You should admit your crime...
and reduce your sentence.
How can I say I did something when I didn't?
I can swear on my baby.
I never did anything shameful.
Se Kang also knows that...
you're not innocent.
What? What do you mean?
He just couldn't say anything...
because he loves you.
Don't you get it?
Se Kang's suffering as much as you are...
because there's no way to take you out of here anymore.
So why don't you just forget about the appeal and...
I can't do that. I'm going to lodge an appeal.
I'm even going to write a petition to the judge.
I'm going to do everything I can.
So can you please help me?
(Dal Nim's mother: 3 new messages)
I wonder why Mother texted me so early in the morning.
(When you open this text message, I'll already be gone from Seoul.)
(Don't ever forgive me, Dal Nim. Don't try to find me either.)
Mom. Mom!
Mom. Mom.
Why are you being so loud?
Look at this. Dal Nim's mom sent me this.
My goodness. She left Seoul? What is this nonsense?
Mom, I'm going to go to Dal Nim's house right now.
- Wait. Let's go together. - Where are you going, Mom?
I'll tell you after I get back. Hurry up and start the car.
(When you open this text message, I'll already be gone from Seoul.)
Hurry.
Mother.
Mother. Mother.
Mother.
I can't believe this. How can this happen?
How could she do this?
She really must have left.
This place is empty.
I can't believe this.
Mom, do you think something happened to Mother?
What? What are you talking about?
She even sent you a text saying that she's going to leave.
Plus, she's not even Dal Nim's birth mother.
She must've been so frustrated to come to this kind of decision.
But I think it'd be safe to report this to the police just in case.
Oh, okay.
You should go to work. I'll report it to the police.
My goodness gracious.
(Petition)
Hey, you fool.
I'm so experienced that I can write a petition with my eyes closed.
This isn't how you're supposed to write a petition.
"I'm upset. I've been falsely accused."
"I'm innocent." You should never say stuff like this.
"I'm reflecting on what I did. I regret my crime."
"Please reduce my sentence." That's what you need to write.
Give that to me. I'll write it for you instead.
Instead, please give me some bread and milk if you have any.
No, it's okay. I'll write it.
I can really write it well.
I even won a lot of writing awards when I used to be a student.
Thank you.
Thank you for this, Dal Nim.
You must have a lot of visitors...
who give you a lot of money.
Don't you have any visitors?
No, I don't have any visitors.
Dal Nim, I'll give you a massage.
A massage?
Nothing's for free.
You gave me bread.
I used to work part-time at a massage shop and a hair salon.
So I know how to give amazing massages.
It's okay.
And you can freely eat the food that's in my locker.
Can I really do that?
My name is Oh Dal Nim. What about you?
My name is Hwang Geum Sook. I'm 26 years old.
Can I call you by your name?
By the way, it's been ages since your mom came.
She used to visit every day.
I'm actually worried if she's sick or something.
Prisoner 3677. You have a visitor.
Your mom must be here.
She came when we were just talking about her. Hurry up and go see her.
(Visiting Room)
- Dal Nim. - Did you come here alone, Se Kang?
Where's Mom? Did she not come with you?
I'm worried that Mom might be sick.
I'm worried because she hasn't come to visit me for days now.
Can you go visit her at my house...
on your way home?
Dal Nim.
Your mom's not home.
What do you mean?
Dal Nim, don't be surprised and listen to me carefully.
I really thought hard about how I should tell you this.
But it would be wrong of me to keep this from you.
Did something happen to her?
What is it? Hurry up and tell me.
I think...
Mother left.
What? Where did she go?
I went to your house,
but she wasn't there.
She took her clothes, bank book, and jewelry.
She took everything that was worth money...
and left.
She even took out the deposit for the restaurant.
So are you trying to say that she ran away...
with the deposit?
I couldn't believe it either.
I've also been looking for her until now.
Stop talking nonsense. Do you expect me to believe you right now?
You must not want to believe me, but it's the truth.
Se Kang.
I got this text from Mother.
When you open this text message,
I'll already be gone from Seoul.
I was able to endure all the hardship until now...
because I thought Dal Nim would be able to get released.
But after the trial, I realized that Dal Nim can...
never be released.
I don't have any more strength left in me to hold onto this.
It's been so hard for me, so I had no choice but to do this.
Please take care of Dal Nim.
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.
(Sweet Enemy)
She pleads guilty.
Dal Nim.
What's wrong, Dal Nim?
If you want to go with her,
you're going to have to disown me and Jae Hee.
This company will do well without me.
My gosh, my poor child.
We must be getting punished.
Don't think that it will end here.
This is only the beginning.
