(Episode 88)
What did you just say?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
Your child...
didn't die.
What do you mean,
my child didn't die?
Then is she really alive?
I agreed to the collaboration...
with Wid Fashion because their brand was consistent...
with my philosophy.
It was my first product in my home country,
so it is very special to me as well.
I see.
- Let me take a photo. - Hold on.
I do not want my face to be known, and always insist...
on interviews without photos.
My designs are what matters.
I see.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Ms. Choi? What is it?
I have terrible news.
Counterfeits of your dress are being sold in the market.
What?
Get over here and explain what's going on.
("Wid Group and Angela Choi Counterfeits in Dongdaemun")
How did this...
I'm stunned as well.
How dare they copy my design?
Let's stop the interview here.
I'll contact you again.
Okay. I understand.
How careless were they...
with my design...
The collaboration with Uncle Do Chi and Yuh Ri.
Keep doing it.
But...
do as I say from now on.
Was it Hae Joo?
Please calm down.
We have to find out...
how the design was leaked.
You're in on it together.
You sold it at a high price to us,
and sold the design to counterfeiters...
- and pocketed that too! - You can't fool us!
What do you take him for?
Please don't jump to conclusions.
We're the ones who are the most in shock.
We're victims too.
We'll find out what happened.
Hello?
Is this what you were planning?
What if it were?
Leaking my design...
is lethal to me too, not just to Do Chi and Yuh Ri.
So? Are you saying you won't help me anymore?
You'll refuse being my mom...
and the madam of Wid Group?
What are you thinking?
Come to the office.
I'll explain everything then.
Hae Joo.
Was this your doing?
We must figure out what happened,
and figure out how to compensate you.
Please trust us and go back for now.
We'll call you. Please.
I'm speechless.
When I went back for my child,
you clearly said...
that the baby I had left at the doorstep of the orphanage...
had frozen to death.
That baby who froze to death...
wasn't your child.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, it wasn't my child?
There were two babies left at the orphanage...
that day.
Two babies were left there?
When I first discovered the baby,
it was already dead.
And I thought...
that was your baby.
That's why when you came back for your baby,
I said it had died.
But?
A few days later,
the real mom of the baby who had died showed up.
How did you know the one that died...
was hers, and not mine?
It could've been mine.
That mom said...
her daughter had six fingers on her right hand.
Her baby had an extra thumb.
But...
the dead baby had six fingers.
Did the dead baby have a burn scar...
on her right shoulder?
My daughter had a burn scar.
She didn't.
We tried to save the baby...
by warming her up,
so I remember clearly.
Then where did my baby...
end up?
I'm sure I left her in front of the orphanage.
Seeing how she wasn't there, I think...
someone took her.
Hello?
Already?
Okay. I will.
Sorry.
I need to go.
You can't. What am I supposed to do if you leave like this?
I'm sorry. That's all I know.
I hope...
you find your daughter soon.
How could this be?
My daughter is alive?
A few days ago,
my father said the same thing too.
That Ji Won's child's alive.
I heard it directly from him.
Joo Ho. I have to ask him again.
He knows something for sure.
What's going on? How could you let this happen?
I'm sorry. I think our design was leaked.
We were very careful about keeping it confidential.
We're shocked that this happened.
We're sorry.
Apologizing won't solve anything!
The production line has come to a halt.
We'll find the leak...
and make sure this never happens again.
Find the culprit!
Find them and hold them accountable.
If you don't find the person responsible,
you're out from this company!
- What is it? - Angela Choi is here to see you.
Angela Choi?
Isn't she the designer who worked on the collaboration with you?
Yes, it is.
Show her in.
Why are you...
Are you the designer Angela Choi?
Hae Joo's birth mom...
was the designer Angela Choi?
Mr. Koo Do Chi and Ms. Son Yuh Ri.
How dare you sell my design?
How dare you stab me in the back?
You're mistaken.
We did not plan this.
Please trust us.
Why would we leak your design?
Shut it!
Top corporations in the world are begging for my designs,
but I wanted to help you because I respected your motives,
but you humiliated me.
I won't forgive you!
Please.
I'm going to press charges.
Not just against you two.
I'll press charges against Wid Fashion for defamation and fraud.
Wait.
Please calm down and hear our side too.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'll see you in court.
What do we do? She's furious.
This is terrible. Things keep snowballing.
Who leaked the design?
How dare that woman come here?
Is someone here?
That rotten woman. Has she lost her mind?
What is it? Why are you here?
I came to see Joo Ho.
- Is he in? - Why would you see Yuh Ri's dad?
Why? So you can steal him again?
I'll be brief.
Please.
Drop the act. I don't trust you.
So get lost!
Where's the salt to ward off bad luck?
Please,
let me see him just once.
Joo Ho.
Why are you here?
- I need to ask you something. - Leave.
I don't want to see you right now.
Joo Ho.
Stop bothering this family and leave.
If you don't leave,
you'll get a salt shower from Yuh Ri's mother.
My daughter is alive.
My daughter whom I abandoned.
I didn't even name her,
so I never got to say her name even once.
I met with the director of Love Orphanage just now.
He says my daughter is alive.
Yuh Ri was right.
My daughter is alive.
You really don't remember anything?
Yuh Ri said...
you told her that my daughter was alive.
You know already,
that my memory...
stopped at when the chairman asked me to find your child.
Seeing how you said my daughter was alive,
you definitely know where she is.
Please try hard to remember.
Do you think I'm like this because I don't want to remember?
I'm the most frustrated and going crazy...
because I can't get my memory back.
I need to find my daughter.
You're the only one who can help me.
The director says he doesn't know where she went either.
That child...
is my only blood in this world.
Please.
You did all that evil because of your obsession with your blood,
and you're still at it?
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
To both you and Yuh Ri.
I was terribly wrong.
Let me...
help you get your memory back.
You have to get your memory back for Yuh Ri's sake too.
I'll get the top doctors on you...
to get you treated.
You went to Do Young for a job, right?
I'll find you a job.
Drive my car around,
and let's find your lost memory together.
It'll help to see and think about...
things that were familiar to you.
Please, Joo Ho.
We have to find the source of the leak.
The only people with access to our design...
were you, me, Angela Choi, Jang Goo, and Yul Mae.
That's it.
Scan the sketches we made during the meeting...
and save them onto a USB drive.
I'll go myself and explain how to make the sample.
Okay. Will do.
Yul Mae. She had taken the design.
- Then... - I have to talk to her.
Where's Yul Mae?
She's on vacation.
She went on vacation without telling her own team?
I allowed it.
I gave a member of the design team time off,
since I'm the design team manager.
What right do you have to question it?
Have you no respect for hierarchy?
The phone has been turned off.
- Please leave... - The sudden vacation...
and going off the grid are all suspicious.
You have to keep this up, understand?
Let me know when you and Mother want to have dinner.
What? Okay.
Yul Mae. Did you take the sample?
I can't find it anywhere.
Here.
I took it by mistake.
Yuh Ri.
You're prepared to take responsibility...
for the design leak, right?
I'm thinking...
of how to make the culprit pay...
once we catch the person.
Find the culprit.
As the design team manager,
I want to see the one who leaked...
our company's design.
It's my friend's bed and breakfast.
It's small, but it has everything you need.
It has a nice view of the beach too.
Small is nice.
I can...
stick right next to you like this.
That's right. Where's my head?
Here.
What do you think?
I know summer is ending,
but we should take advantage of it while we can.
Do you...
prefer this...
or this?
Well... I like them both.
But I'd say...
this one.
Oh my gosh.
You and I have the same taste.
You and I really get each other...
through and through.
In light of that,
- how about a toast? - Sure.
Here. With something that is good for you.
- Thank you. - One for me.
Love shot.
Mom!
What... What... What are you doing here at this hour?
Hello, Yul Mae.
Why do you look like that?
What's with the luggage?
I got a one-week vacation.
- I'm taking a trip. - What?
You're not going...
with that half-peeled chestnut from the movie, are you?
You can't go with him!
- I am not! - Then?
Did you cause trouble again?
You did. You caused trouble.
What... What trouble?
Anyway, I'm not going home. Just so you know.
If anyone asks for me,
don't tell anyone. Okay?
Yul Mae!
Hey!
Hi, Yuh Ri. What's up?
Ms. Jang. Is Yul Mae home by any chance?
Yul Mae? She said she's going away for a week...
and just left with her luggage.
Yes. Okay.
I think Yul Mae...
caused trouble again.
That's my sense I get.
Your... Your sense?
Back when I was a newborn,
my mom didn't produce enough milk,
so she had the next-door fortune teller nurse me too.
Because of that, I have a good sense of things.
So...
if you cheat on me,
you know, right?
Okay.
Hae Joo.
Why are you lying?
You know that child is alive.
You even know her name.
You told the director of Love Orphanage...
that you knew who she was.
Hae Joo knew.
Why is she lying to me?
For what reason?
Is she afraid that if I find my daughter,
I'd be less affectionate toward her?
We're home.
Come in. Where's your dad?
He's working.
The company is a mess right now...
because Uncle Do Chi's design was leaked.
Is it?
You must be tired. Go up and rest.
Sure. If I want Hae Joo to feel secure,
I have to get rid of Do Chi and Yuh Ri.
If I prove that I'm on her side,
she'll tell me who my daughter is,
and where to find her.
Mee Hee was the designer Angela Choi?
It's me. Let's meet.
Come in.
I had a lot going on,
so I was having some wine to relax.
How did you end up doing a collaboration with Do Chi?
Is that what you were after when you came back?
Is this what you meant by you'll get Hae Joo back...
as well as Wid Group?
Take a breath, will you?
I did not...
approach Koo Do Chi first.
They proposed the collaboration,
and it was a good opportunity, so I agreed.
Do you mean it?
I found out later on...
that he was your brother.
I'm upset this happened too.
Drop the charges.
Why should I?
My reputation took a hit because of this.
My dress, that celebrities from all across the world want to wear,
became a cheap dress sold in markets.
If it gets out that we were prosecuted...
for leaking your design,
we may be unable to work with other companies going forward.
Then Wid Group's value will drop as well.
Fine.
If you do as I say,
I'll consider it.
Fire Do Chi and Yuh Ri.
Then I'll forget the whole thing.
If this is how your brother does his job,
he'll run Wid Group to the ground in no time.
Don't you think...
you should name Hae Joo as your successor now?
Have a glass and think it over.
You and Hae Joo.
Which is the best choice...
for Wid Group's future?
Jang Goo.
Are you still in contact with the factory owner...
who did that reform dress for us before?
Of course.
Let's see. His number...
Here it is. Why do you ask?
We want to go to Dongdaemun's factories...
and find out where they got our design.
They had to have used several factories...
in order to flood the market that quickly.
Let's move quickly.
- I'll call you on the way. - Okay.
Just do as I say.
I'll send you the rest once it's done.
That's right.
I made several thousand of these too.
May we ask where you got the design?
I don't know. I got it from someone who got it from someone else.
Can you find out...
who initially requested it?
It's like searching for a needle in a haystack,
but I'll try.
- Thank you. Please do what you can. - Sure.
- Hello? - The chairman said to come in.
Mr. Chairman.
Are you okay?
Wid Group's shares have hit rock bottom.
Forget canceling the international launch.
What will you do about our loss of good will?
Do you know how big a loss we've incurred already?
We're searching for the culprit now.
Please give us some time.
Move quickly.
If you can't mend our reputation,
you will lose the competition to succeed me!
Are you going somewhere?
I feel stiff, just lying down all day long.
I thought I'd walk around and see if I can remember anything.
You're not even fully well.
I'll go with you.
- I'll drive you around. - No, it's fine.
I can walk slowly and get exercise too.
Be careful then.
Call if anything happens.
Okay.
Joo Ho.
Thank you for agreeing to help me.
I'm not doing it for you.
I just want to complete...
the job that I was given.
Once we find your daughter, I have no reason...
to talk to you again.
Regardless, get in.
This is it.
Where I left my baby.
Here?
The kids will be so happy.
What's wrong?
Do you remember something?
I found Yuh Ri here too.
Joo Ho.
Sorry.
My head suddenly hurt.
Do you happen to know...
where this design originated?
I don't know. I have no idea.
Where did you get this?
I don't know. You're getting in my way. Go away.
It won't be easy to find the person behind the leak.
Everyone is claiming ignorance.
We can't give up.
You couldn't even show what you could do.
You can't be eliminated from being the successor like this.
Mr. Koo Do Chi.
I've found the person...
who initiated production of that dress.
Who was it? No.
Where is he?
His name is Choi.
He specializes in counterfeits.
He'll do anything for money.
Let's go meet him.
It won't be easy.
He could end up in cuffs for what he does.
He'd never meet you.
Yuh Ri. I have a good idea.
We'd like to produce counterfeits of a designer brand item.
The highest quality out there.
We'll pay whatever you want.
The money keeps rolling in lately.
It's an honor to meet you.
We hear your copying skills are second to none.
This is a secret.
You know the dress that's killing Wid Fashion?
That's my handiwork.
I heard. It looks exactly the same.
Right? It's the same, isn't it?
Even the fabric is the same.
It was only possible if you saw the product beforehand.
Who is it? Who showed you the dress?
Who are you?
- Who are you people? - Us?
The real owners of the dress you copied.
The people from Wid Fashion, which you're killing right now.
Who was it?
Who ordered you to steal like this?
Joo Ho. Is your headache gone?
Should I buy some medicine?
No, I'm fine.
Let's head back to Seoul.
You wasted your time because of me.
What is it?
Choi Woo Shik, the Dongdaemun counterfeiter,
is with Son Yuh Ri and Koo Do Chi right now.
What?
How could you let this happen?
You shouldn't have let them meet in the first place.
Don't worry.
I've silenced him for sure with plenty of money.
Fine.
Report back to me if anything happens.
Yuh Ri. Do Chi.
You found Choi Woo Shik pretty quickly.
But that's all you can do.
Joo Ho. I'll drive. Rest up.
Who ordered you?
Was it her?
Did she make you do it?
Look carefully.
That isn't a face you can easily forget.
It wasn't her. I never saw her before.
It wasn't Hae Joo?
No, there's no way.
- Take a closer look. - It wasn't her!
Just do as I say.
I'll send you the rest once it's done.
Okay.
If things get messed up and you get caught by Son Yuh Ri and Koo Do Chi,
give them this name.
Hong Ji Won.
What?
Who?
Hong Ji Won. It was her.
She made me do it.
I need you to do something for me right now.
Why are you back?
I thought it over,
but I feel like you're not really listening to me.
This is the complaint I'm about to file.
I asked for some time.
How long must I wait?
Yuh Ri is one thing,
but I need the board's approval to fire Do Chi.
You know the group has to move quickly in times like these.
Fire Yuh Ri and Do Chi right now.
Right now, before I change my mind!
- Koo Do Chi? - What?
Why are they gathered there?
I can't believe it.
How could they do that to a chief director?
(Koo Do Chi: Awaiting assignment, Son Yuh Ri: Terminated)
Good.
It was worthwhile getting involved myself for Hae Joo.
- Wid Group is Hae Joo's now. - What?
Why was Yuh Ri fired?
Why is Do Chi awaiting assignment?
When did you prepare this?
Yuh Ri and Do Chi drank poison from their glasses,
so we should have a celebratory drink.
Kicking Yuh Ri out isn't enough for me.
- This is just the beginning. - Of course.
See? Now that we're working together as one,
good things keep happening.
Ji Won. How could she do that?
She's Wid Group's madam.
How could she cause the company such a huge loss?
She didn't care about that.
She had to do anything...
to make Hae Joo the successor.
Things are bad with her and Do Young,
so she had to win over Hae Joo...
in order to maintain within Wid Group.
Let's go.
We have to tell the chairman what Ji Won did.
Mr. Chairman. Is it because of me?
What do you mean?
Because of the scene I caused yesterday,
are you punishing Yuh Ri instead of me...
and firing her?
Please punish me instead. Me.
Mr. Son.
It's all my fault.
I'll never show my face in front of you again, if you want.
So please, don't fire Yuh Ri...
and Do Chi.
- My father? - It's his voice.
Please, I'm begging you.
Don't make him uncomfortable like this.
Yuh Ri isn't even your real...
Father. What are you doing?
Yuh Ri.
Get up. You don't need to beg for forgiveness.
Do Young. We found the person who leaked the design.
What? You did?
Here. We have the name...
of the person in here.
Who was it? What jerk dared...
do something like this?
Ji Won.
The one who leaked our design to the counterfeiter...
was Ji Won.
What? What's this about?
Was it really you?
No! I stay home all day. How could I...
possibly have leaked your design?
That makes no sense!
Will you still deny it?
Hong Ji Won.
Hong Ji Won. It was her.
She made me do it.
Were you...
trying to destroy our company?
No! I never did such a thing!
Why would I endanger Wid Group by doing that?
I'm being framed. Framed!
We have clear proof and a witness,
but you still deny it?
No. Honey, this is unfair.
It really wasn't me!
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Get out of my sight!
Honey!
- Hae Joo. Say something. - Mom.
How could you?
How could you sell our company's design...
to a counterfeiter?
- Hae Joo. - And you're Wid Group's madam?
I'm very disappointed in you.
