(Episode 115)
Ms. Yoon, do you recognize him?
Soo In.
Yoon Min Jae, your brother is alive.
If you two do as I say, he will live.
If you don't,
he will die.
I'm sure you understand what I mean.
This is nonsense.
If he were alive, why didn't he find us and come home?
He seemed to lose his memory due to the shock from drowning.
He lost his memory?
Then he doesn't remember us?
Where is he?
If he's alive, let me see him now.
I told you that...
if you want to see him, you must do what I say.
Write off the three million dollars I owe you.
A photo of him as a boy doesn't mean he's alive.
If he is, give us any proof.
Proof?
Let us meet him or at least hear his voice.
Why should I do that?
Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
I will say it again.
If you don't write off my debt,
your brother Min Jae will die.
Very well. Do whatever you want.
You can't provide any proof,
which makes me think you're lying about our brother.
Soo In, let's go.
Are you two sure you won't regret this?
We won't.
We refuse to give into your threats.
You'd better pay me back by the loan's due date.
Is this how you respond?
Did you meet with Mr. Kim and Ms. Yoon?
Yes.
Do you know what Mr. Kim said?
He asked for an evidence that Min Jae is alive.
What did you say?
I have no reason to give into his demand.
Whether he takes the offer or not, I gave them an opportunity,
but they refused it.
I'll show them what it costs to irritate me.
Once they come after me, they must be determined.
Call Mr. Nam and tell him to go ahead.
I will.
You'll return to Japan?
Yes, sometime next week.
Why so soon? It's a little early for your school.
I think it's better to prepare for the new semester.
Seung Joon.
Is it because you're disappointed that you couldn't find your parents?
No, it's not.
I was going to study here if I found them,
but since I couldn't, I should go back to where I belong.
Okay. If that's what you want, go ahead.
I'll visit you whenever I can.
Okay, Dad.
And...
before I go back, I'd like to travel a bit.
- Travel? - Yes.
I don't know when I would come back here.
This might be my only opportunity.
I'll go with a few of my friends.
That's a great idea.
Traveling when young is a good experience.
See and do a lot of things and organize your thoughts.
Forget all about what upsets you or makes you sad.
I will, Dad.
Man Pyo, what's going on?
What do you mean?
I'm pretty sure something's going on,
but why is nobody telling me what that is?
Nothing's going on.
Everything's fine.
You won't tell me either?
I became a family member now,
but all of you keep me out of the loop.
Your sister never liked me,
and now she doesn't treat me like her family.
It's not like that at all.
Man Pyo, just tell me what's going on.
Sook Hee asked me to say nothing.
We're a married couple.
You said that we shouldn't keep things secret from each other.
How could you?
Jae Man put up our house and factory as collateral...
to buy land.
- This house and factory? - Yes.
That means he bought a lot of land.
Where is it?
He invested in a foolproof government project.
It looks like he borrowed money from a loan shark.
- Really? - Yes.
But there seems a problem.
The loan shark came to the factory and everyone was stressed out.
That's why my sister was so on edge.
Oh, I see.
How come you didn't tell me something so important?
Now I'm really upset.
Well, I didn't want you to worry.
Everything will be fine though.
Jae Man will sort it out.
Honey,
about Gangnam development scheme you mentioned before,
how is it going?
I'm dealing with it now. Don't worry about it.
Is everything going well as planned without any problems?
I'm so worried.
I'm scared that we might lose our house and factory.
Don't be silly. That will never happen, so be quiet.
Then why did Mr. Hwang come here?
Didn't he come by to take our factory?
No, that's not it.
We won't lose anything. So, calm down and wait.
Are you sure about that? Will you sort everything out?
I said I will. What you're worrying won't happen.
Do you remember Ms. Yoon's brother?
Soo In's brother?
What's his name?
Min Jae.
Min Jae. Yoon Min Jae.
Her family thinks he died then, right?
Come in.
Dad.
Se Young, do you have something to say?
Yes.
Why did you ask me about Soo In's brother yesterday?
For no reason, actually.
Really?
You must have a reason to ask about him out of the blue.
I just asked.
Dad, tell me the truth.
Did you really just ask,
or is there any other reason?
Tell me, Dad.
What's wrong with you?
I gave you an answer and that's that.
Why are you so concerned about Ms. Yoon's brother?
Did something happen between you two?
What? No, nothing happened.
Then get out.
I have a lot to think.
Okay.
Hello?
How did things go?
We did as you asked.
We can't have any witnesses or evidence showing up like before.
Are you sure everything's fine?
They paid extra attention. You don't have to worry.
Okay.
By the way, have you found the pocket watch?
Yes, we have.
The orphanage staff said that the boy has it on him at all times.
He really has.
Well done.
I'll pass the watch to Mr. Choi.
Okay.
Are you awake now?
Who are you people?
Where am I?
You don't need to know.
Just keep very quiet.
Do as we say and we'll let you go.
What do you people want from me?
Why are you doing this?
Why would we want something from you?
It's about someone you know.
Someone I know... Is it about Dad?
What about him?
What did he do to you?
Why are you using me like this?
You make too much noise.
Shut your mouth!
I'll untie you if you stay still.
So keep quiet, okay?
Ms. Yoon, do you remember this?
This is...
What is that, Soo In?
It's the watch Min Jae had when he disappeared.
You remember it.
Where'd you get it?
Now do you believe me?
I brought you the proof, so you must do as I say.
Otherwise, your brother will pay the price.
What did you do to my brother?
Relax. I haven't done anything yet.
If you need time to think, you have until tomorrow.
Until then, bring me the document, saying I don't need to pay back.
Also,
don't ever think to tell anyone what is going on.
If you call the police or tell Chairman Kang,
Min Jae will die.
Mr. Jung.
Remember. His fate lies in your hands.
Wait.
What should we do?
What will happen to Min Jae?
Soo In, is this really the watch he had at the time?
Yes, it is. I think it is.
Are you sure? It could be a replica.
Mr. Jung could've brought a copy to dupe us.
I need to ask my dad.
He should recognize it.
- Dad. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
Did you have business in this area?
Not really. Have a look at this for me.
What is it?
This... This is...
Is this the watch Min Jae had before he fell into the sea?
Yes, it is.
This is it.
Are you sure? Is it the same watch?
I said it is, didn't I?
Why do you have it?
How did you get the watch he had?
Where did you get this from?
I'll explain everything later.
Hey, Soo In, wait.
What on earth is going on?
Everything Mr. Jung said is true, then.
Yes, I still can't believe it myself.
Soo In.
My family and I all thought Min Jae was dead until now,
but he's actually alive.
He didn't die.
I don't know how Mr. Jung found him,
but if he really has our brother,
he's in danger.
He's threatening us with my brother's life.
I will not forgive Mr. Jung.
I will make him pay one day.
Dal Ja, these are for you.
What are these?
Plums. You like them.
Can you please forgive me?
You didn't have to buy me anything.
I'm sorry for what I said last time.
My sister-in-law gave me such a hard time,
so I lied about being pregnant to only get out of it all.
I really didn't think telling you that would upset you.
I was a little careless. Can you forgive me?
I'm sorry too.
I know you'd never upset me on purpose,
but I felt furious just at that moment.
I won't do it again. Will you forgive me?
I'm not bothered about it at all. It's over now.
Good.
Now I can relax once the issue at home works out.
Does your sister-in-law still put you to work?
No, it's actually about...
Never mind.
Why did you suddenly stop talking mid-sentence?
Actually...
Mr. Jung invested in a huge project by putting up the house and factory.
However, it seems to be a bit rocky.
Investment?
Yes. He invested in some government project,
but something's wrong and a loan shark came by the house.
I'm so scared we might lose the house and factory.
What was that, Ms. Oh? We'll lose the factory?
Dae Bong.
Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong.
You scared me. Don't yell my name out of the blue.
Is something wrong?
We're about to lose the factory.
What's going on? Is it true?
How do you know? Who told you that?
I heard what Ms. Oh said at the restaurant.
She should've kept her mouth shut.
Why didn't you tell me something this important?
I could lose my job if the factory's sold.
What will happen now?
It hasn't been confirmed.
Jae Man will sort it out, so don't you worry.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Don't you know what my brother-in-law's like?
He's talented and capable.
Don't go around and act like the factory changed hands.
Hello? Is anyone out there?
Help! Help me!
Hello?
- Save me! - Hey!
Shut your mouth!
You can yell all you want, but there's no one to help you.
Just sit still and don't waste your energy.
Let me talk to my dad.
I don't have the right to make decisions here.
Just be quiet and wait.
You will pay for all this.
You still haven't grasped the situation.
If you want to get out of here, keep quiet!
Well,
he is already grown up enough to go traveling with friends now.
I wonder why he hasn't called once.
He knows how much I worry about him.
Come in.
Did you ask to see me?
Yes. It's about my son, Seung Joon.
Seung Joon?
He grew up alone as an only son.
He considers you as an older sister and he talks about you a lot.
I see.
So, I'd like to ask you...
to look after him until he returns to Japan.
He's been looking for his parents but disappointed since he failed.
I wish you to care for him in a way which a single dad can't.
Talk with him and maybe give him some advice.
I see what you mean. I'll do that, sir.
I'm sorry to ask for a personal favor.
Please don't be.
I feel somewhat connected to him as well.
Don't worry, sir. I'll look after him.
Thank you.
I'll leave, then.
Sir, whose photo is this?
This?
It's the photo of Seung Joon when he was young. Why?
May I have a look?
Of course.
Where's Seung Joon now?
At the hotel?
No, he has gone traveling.
Traveling?
He left yesterday and I can't reach him yet.
You can't reach him?
He's with friends and he forgot all about me.
Anyway, once he gets back from his trip,
please look after my son until he leaves for Japan.
Yes, sir.
What do you mean?
Seung Joon is Min Jae?
The chairman had a photo of Seung Joon as a boy.
I'm sure it was Min Jae.
It was him.
This can't be true.
Then,
Mr. Jung already knew this all and kidnapped him?
I think so.
I don't know how he found out,
but I'm sure he took Seung Joon knowing he's Min Jae.
That's impossible.
Seung Joon is Min Jae?
Chairman Kang thinks Seung Joon is on a trip.
What should we do?
Should we tell him the truth?
No, we shouldn't. You remember what Mr. Jung said?
Min Jae will die...
if we tell the police or Chairman Kang.
I wondered why he mentioned the chairman.
This was the reason.
Seung Joon, I mean Min Jae must be so terrified.
Do you think Mr. Jung will hurt him?
He wants something in exchange, so I doubt it.
Try not to worry too much.
Mr. Jung owes Seon Woo that much money?
Yes. To take everything Mr. Jung owns,
I think Chairman Kang and Seon Woo set something up.
Right. Mr. Jung thinks money equals power.
He'll be powerless if he loses everything.
Seon Woo will soon reveal...
everything Mr. Jung did to you,
so let's bear with it little more, Mother.
Okay.
We aren't the only ones Mr. Jung hurt.
He will end up paying for everything he did...
to the weak and the innocent.
Yes. His time is coming.
You are right.
Did you see Soo In when you were in Seoul today?
No. She said she had to work late.
Why?
She came by to see me and I'm a bit concerned.
Why did she come to see you?
She showed me a pocket watch...
and asked me if it belonged to Min Jae.
A pocket watch?
The one I found while trying to save Mr. Kwon...
and Min Jae used to play with until the day he died.
You know that, right?
I remember that watch.
Soo In showed it to you today?
I asked her where she got it from,
but she rushed out without saying.
Maybe it was the same model.
But I'm pretty sure it was the one Min Jae had.
How could Soo In have the watch...
when he fell into the sea?
Right?
Even I think it doesn't make sense.
If you really want to know, I'll ask Soo In when I see her.
Okay.
Will you meet Mr. Jung tomorrow?
Yes. I think we have no choice but to do as he asked.
Only then can we get Min Jae back.
Do you think Mr. Jung will let Min Jae go?
What do you mean?
I just don't trust the man.
Once he gets what he wants,
he doesn't care what happens to anything else.
He is motivated only by his profit.
I have doubts as to whether he'll release Min Jae.
But there's nothing else we can do.
He told me I have until tomorrow to write off his debt.
If I don't do that, no one knows what he will do to Min Jae.
I can only hope he'll keep his word.
I was adopted.
I don't talk about this to others.
I talk to you more freely,
maybe because we're both from Incheon.
There must be a connection.
Min Jae, I'm sorry.
If I'd recognized you sooner,
then this wouldn't have happened to you.
Hang in there, Min Jae.
I'll save you.
Hello! Is anyone there?
Save me! Can you get me out?
Can someone please save me?
Hello? Can anyone get me out of here?
Someone, help!
Did you bring what I asked?
I need to be sure.
Is my brother safe?
He is, so don't you worry.
I will tell you one thing.
You will regret doing this.
Have you forgotten that you did this to yourself?
I think I gave you an opportunity.
Do you really think you'll get away with this?
I don't care as long as I get what I want.
Stop stalling and get to the point.
I will write off half of what you owe me.
I'll write off the rest when my brother is safe.
Are you trying to bargain with your brother's life?
I have no intention of doing so.
I'll say again that my conditions stay the same.
If you do not write off all three million dollars now,
I can't guarantee your brother's life.
Very well, then. But promise you will let my brother go.
I will do that.
The papers you gave as collateral and proof of payment.
Have a look.
You took your time.
You'd better keep your word.
Go and wait. You'll see your brother soon.
I was worried about how Mr. Kim and Ms. Yoon would react.
I'm glad we got what we wanted.
What other option did they have...
but to do as I said?
I hope you learned that this is how you make deals.
Yes, Father.
Shall we let Chairman Kang's son go?
- No. - What?
What should I do, then?
Deal with him.
How do you mean?
I had no intention of letting him live.
Get rid of him.
Father, this is...
What if we let him go and he does something?
How will we deal with that?
There's nothing to think about. It's best to get rid of him.
Deal with it properly, okay?
Okay.
Okay, then.
What did Mr. Jung say?
We have to get rid of the kid in the warehouse.
What do you mean get rid of him?
Weren't we going to let him go once the deal went through?
That's what I thought,
but they want him gone to tie up the loose ends.
Don't you think this could backfire?
It won't if we deal with it without leaving evidence.
Do as Mr. Jung said.
Got it, sir.
(Shinheung Co.)
Deal with this properly, guys.
We can't have any problems, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
Get going.
Gosh.
What do you want?
Where's Kang Seung Joon?
What are you talking about?
Where is he?
Who do you mean? Kang Seung Joon?
Who's that?
I know everything. Tell me now if you value your life.
I really don't know anything.
I really don't.
I won't ask again. This is your last chance.
Where's Kang Seung Joon?
Where is he?
Min Jae, a man has to eat everything well.
Will I grow up to be a man like you?
I want to fly a kite.
I'll go and get it. You wait here.
You can't go anywhere else. Stay here, okay?
Okay, Soo In. I'll be right here.
Don't be too long.
Soo In.
Save me.
- Soo In. - Min Jae.
Min Jae.
Min Jae. Min Jae.
Min Jae!
Min Jae. Min Jae.
Soo In.
Min Jae.
My name was Min Jae.
They were my family.
Is anyone out there?
I'm in here!
Can you save me? Please!
Save me! Someone help me!
That fool.
- Stop right there! - Stop!
Get him!
Stop where you are!
- Soo In. - Min Jae.
Is your memory back?
Dad.
- Mom. - My son.
Min Jae.
I will not let this slide.
You're under arrest for the abduction of Kang Seung Joon.
Do you know who I am?
I will make you regret this.
- Now Soo In won't feel so guilty. - What do you mean?
It was because of me that you fell in the sea that day.
No, someone else did it to me.
