If you'd give me time, I'll do whatever it takes,
even if I must sell myself,
to pay it back.
Even if you must sell yourself?
It's fine.
There's no need to pay back that debt.
- Pardon? - Han Ji Sup.
I will buy you.
(Episode 12)
There's no need to study it.
I begged my daughter-in-law and got a full check-up,
and both are completely clean.
I need money urgently.
Can you give me 100,000 dollars?
Is this old lady joking with me?
You'll be turning 60 soon.
You're way too greedy.
I'm putting my life on the line.
Why else would I do this at this age?
Go elsewhere.
Wait. Fine. Fine.
Give me what you can.
Here's the deposit.
I'll give you the rest depending on how things go.
- Freeze! - What's going on?
Oh my gosh.
Freeze!
Help!
Help.
I'm not one of them. Please help.
I'm not. Can't you let me go?
What is it...
that you want from me?
Han Ji Sup.
Sell me three years of your life.
Three years?
For the next three years,
if you'd live the way I tell you to,
your family will not have to run from creditors,
or suffer because of money.
What...
must I do?
You'll find out slowly.
First,
you need to know something.
For those three years, you must be dead.
I must die?
The man Han Ji Sup...
cannot exist during the performance of the contract.
The name Han Ji Sup must disappear from this world...
in order for your child, your wife,
and your mother to survive.
Furthermore,
you may not see your family,
you cannot.
Because you'd be dead anyway.
So...
my family must think I am dead.
Is that it?
I don't understand what you mean.
Let's say we never had this conversation.
I'll pay back the money.
Be wise.
What's best for your family?
After the three years,
I'll send you back to your family.
I don't know why you're making such an outrageous offer,
but if my child and family were to lose me,
it would be worse than any debt.
I'll pay back the money.
Han Ji Sup. I guess you aren't desperate enough yet.
- Hi. - What do we do?
Did I steal? Did I kill someone?
Why can't I do as I please with my own body?
Imagine how desperate I was to do that.
Let me out.
Let me out of here!
Mother.
Why are you in there?
- Why? - Suh Ra. Get me out.
This is unfair.
I did it to help you guys.
What did I do wrong that they locked me up?
Ji Sup. Don't just stand there.
Go talk to the detective!
Keep it down already.
Trying to sell your organs is a crime.
A crime? Do you people know my situation?
I feel so bad to my kids...
that I want to sell my kidney...
and pay off my debt. Do you know how I feel?
Mother!
Detective.
Please have mercy.
I'm sure she didn't know.
She was probably too desperate and didn't realize it was illegal.
It's our fault.
So please have mercy on her.
- Please. I beg you. - Listen.
I feel for you. I do.
But it isn't up to us.
- Detective. Detective. - Stop it!
Stop what?
What are you doing?
Get out there and beg until your hands get raw.
Will you leave me in here?
You need to stop it already!
Why are you yelling at me?
Did I do it to live in luxury?
My only fault...
was wanting to better your life and getting scammed!
Mother.
Ji Sup. Don't you know anyone high up?
You went to the best college in the country.
You must know a few among your college friends.
Go ask them to get me out. Go! Now!
I don't know anyone. No!
Even if I did, I don't.
- What? - I warned you...
that if you cause trouble again, I'll disown you.
I've taken as much as I could.
No more.
You don't have a son anymore!
Ji Sup.
Jerk.
You ingrate!
After how I raised you!
Put your hand to your heart and think.
How did you raise me?
What?
Don't do that again.
Let's go.
Why does a parent constantly seek gratitude...
for raising their own child?
If you were so upset about raising me,
you should've sent me to an orphanage!
That's right! I hate myself for it too.
I regret raising you...
instead of dumping you at an orphanage.
Mother, please stop.
Ji Sup, let's go. Let's go.
Poor me.
This is why you shouldn't take in someone else's child.
I was the crazy fool.
What was I thinking?
Why did I take home a dying baby...
and work so hard at raising him?
What's wrong with you lately?
You know her temper. Why are you doing that to her?
Stop it. Even without your scolding me,
I feel like my heart is going to explode.
What do we do?
We can't leave her there.
Leave her there.
At least she can't get herself in trouble from in there.
How could we do that?
She's your mother.
- Hi, Dae Ra. - Where are you?
Why? Is something wrong?
Eat up, boys. Eat up.
- Yes, boss. - Eat up.
Sir.
Our house wasn't enough? Now they'll camp out here?
Do something.
Look at them.
One false move,
and I'll end up six feet under.
I'll come back for the bowls.
- Sure. - You piece of trash.
Who orders black bean noodles at a jjamppong place?
You should just eat at a Chinese restaurant then.
Why are you doing this at my restaurant?
Are you insane? What are you doing?
She's right. Please stop.
- It's dangerous. - Sung Hae.
Call the cops.
I'll have them locked up...
for obstructing our business and threatening us.
- Now! - Mother.
Seriously.
Stop being so loud while we're trying to eat.
Lady.
So tell your daughter and son-in-law...
to pay back their debt.
Why should they pay back money Mi Hong borrowed?
If you want money so badly,
get it from that witch Mi Hong.
Why are you so dense? You're frustrating to talk to.
What? My gosh.
Then bring Koo Mi Hong...
before me or something.
Why should I?
You don't like suggestions I make.
That's why we came all the way here.
If it were me, I would pay back my son-in-law's debt...
just to get rid of us.
How much would you get if you sell this restaurant?
- What? Why you... - Hey!
Who are you to tell us to pay their debt?
Even if my mom says she will,
I'll stop her even if it kills me, so keep dreaming.
- Please, stop. - Hey.
What was that?
Can't you tell what the sit... What the situation is,
and whether or not it's something you can handle?
Who's the one dreaming?
Break everything.
- Don't you dare. - Mom.
You're really testing my patience today.
You did nothing wrong.
I hated your mom...
and hated you too.
That's enough...
with your revenge.
Stop breaking my heart...
and please get up.
Just wait.
I'll give you a chance...
to make up...
for the pain you've caused Jae Wook.
You came.
Did you bring your grandfather?
Yes.
You look terrible.
You should take care of yourself.
The director says it looks the current state will continue.
Okay. Thanks.
You seem very busy.
Business management can't be easy...
for someone who always had a scalpel in his hand.
I'm still afraid and lacking.
I have a lot to learn.
But I'll do my best and not cause Grandpa or Jae Wook...
any trouble.
Sure. You should go home.
- Okay. - That...
promise...
you made.
Your promise...
to step down as chief director whenever Jae Wook wakes up.
- Yes. - Thank you.
He may be unconscious, but I think he felt your sincerity.
He looks much more at ease.
I'm glad.
Hello?
I'll go now.
(Hae Rim)
The person you have reached...
You won't take my calls anymore?
(Hae Rim)
In Wook.
I'm not a creditor.
You don't need to avoid me.
Go see Jae Wook.
We're at a hospital. By Jae Wook's room in the ICU too.
I'm not his wife.
I need to talk to you. Let's go.
Jae Wook's woman sent it.
I thought he had me followed,
but it was her.
Why did she send you this?
Isn't it obvious?
She probably plans to use it...
to extort money from me.
You stay out of it. I'll meet her.
No. She isn't someone you can handle.
She's cheap and low.
If she contacts you, punt her over to me.
The clearer their objective, the easier they are to handle.
Even better, if money is what she's after.
Go in.
I must be cursed.
Ever since I was little,
if I wanted someone like crazy, it wasn't meant for me to have.
Like Mom...
- and you. - No.
I was always by your side.
You're the one...
- who betrayed me. - No.
If Jae Wook hadn't blackmailed me,
I wouldn't have betrayed you.
I was scared.
I was afraid he'd expose me for lying about the malpractice.
If that gets out, my dad and I are through.
What use is that now?
I was used.
What Jae Wook needed wasn't me,
but what Dad had.
He even had a woman. Jae Wook used me thoroughly.
But...
a week before the wedding,
that jerk became a vegetable.
He made me feel pathetic and he's sleeping.
In Wook.
I asked you so nicely.
Where are you?
Let's head out.
Jae Wook.
You don't look cool at all.
I do like your poker face,
but this isn't right.
Open your eyes. Please?
Say something!
Yell at me...
for coming and tell me to get lost.
Jae Wook.
Is Jae Wook not making any progress?
They're giving him 10 percent chance of survival.
Even if he wakes up miraculously,
it may be difficult for him to lead a normal life.
His poor mother must be beside herself.
I've already talked to her.
That since we don't know if and when he'll wake up,
we can't tie Hae Rim down as his fiancee indefinitely.
and we could call off the engagement.
You were too rash.
She must be heartbroken already.
Do you think not consider Hae Rim family?
If you considered her your daughter,
you should think of her first before Jae Wook.
Naturally, she comes first.
I'm talking about timing.
We should at least make it look like we waited all we could.
That makes Hae Rim look better.
Everything is a mess anyway because of Jae Wook.
We should help her move on.
What could I possibly do?
All I can do is free her...
from Jae Wook who has no hope.
Hae Rim is so lucky.
There couldn't possibly be...
a more thoughtful father.
The same applies to you too. Thank you...
for returning to Hae Rim as her mom.
I wish our Yuh Rim met a father like you...
and is doing well.
Are you still...
I... It's just...
I think of her once in a while.
You bury a dead child in your heart,
but you can't even do that for a missing child.
But thanks to you,
I'm doing this well.
Do you really think that?
As you can see,
I can't do anything.
I'm too weak to do anything by myself.
It may be different if I could at least walk.
Why don't you get rehab?
Who knows? You may be able to walk again.
I won't cling onto something that won't happen anyway.
As long as I cling on foolishly,
I'll only be miserable.
Good thinking.
I'd like you to be at peace.
I will.
Go to sleep. I'm going to read a little.
Don't stay up too late.
Go after her.
What do you mean, hold off on surgery?
If we wait, it'll be difficult to reattach the severed nerve.
She may be paralyzed for life.
Do as I say.
That may be best for her.
What crazy talk is this?
You know how many times she tried to escape.
If she recovers, she'll escape again.
She'll keep looking for our missing child,
and she, Hae Rim and I will be tormented for the rest of our lives.
Do you understand?
Yuh Rim.
He has a place in Cheongdam-dong for his mistress.
That isn't enough.
Not a jab like that.
Find a bigger punch that will end him...
with just one blow.
Use whatever measures you need.
He's a greedy man,
so I know there's something bigger.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
We've known each other for years.
- Of course, I should help. - Thank you.
Thanks to your faith in our new drug,
we were able to overcome our difficult times.
So as a token of our appreciation,
we put...
a tiny gift into your account.
You didn't have to do that.
The truth is, it isn't easy to prove...
complications caused by drugs.
It's whatever you call it.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Of course.
This is for your wife.
Goodness.
You didn't need to do that.
You need to be smart...
if you want to maintain two households for long.
You're so silly.
There's no need to worry about things like that.
Okay.
Darn it.
Shoot.
What's that?
Gross.
All I did was take a dump, but I feel so much better.
Crazy Boy. We meet again.
Watch it. Whom are you calling "Crazy Boy"?
Whatever, if not.
Here.
It's the deed to the house...
and the lease for the restaurant.
Mom.
- Mother. - We're your parents,
but we can't even help you when you're going through so much.
Use this to put out the fire first.
Mom. How could you?
This isn't right.
We've burdened you enough.
We can't take more.
Just take it already,
before Dae Ra comes home.
Why are you doing this?
After how hard you worked to buy this house...
- I can't do it. - Don't say anything.
We can always buy another house,
and work harder to get another restaurant.
No. I refuse to take it.
No. I can't.
She's right.
We can't take this.
We're glad we could do at least this much.
Put out the fire and breathe.
It's harder for us to see you suffering so much.
Why are you doing this?
How much worse must you make us feel?
I'm sorry.
I'll handle it.
How will you handle it? How?
It's impossible unless a bag of cash falls from the sky.
Here. Put it away. Go on.
Mom.
Dae Ra.
Are you insane?
How could you give this house and the store to her?
- Give that back. - I refuse.
You aren't the only ones living in this house.
Sung Hae, Cha Ra, and I live here too.
We have a right too!
A right? What did you contribute to buying this house?
Is Suh Ra your only child?
Cha Ra and I aren't?
What's wrong? You know you can't get worked up.
Let go!
This is ridiculous.
Suh Ra. Say something.
I'm sorry.
What's all the noise?
Mom wants to use our house as collateral...
to pay Suh Ra's debt.
Tell me. Does that make any sense?
That's going a bit far, no?
I understand how you feel,
- but isn't that a bit much? - Shut it!
It's my house! I'll do with it as I please!
Who are you to complain?
- Mom! - Mother. Still, this isn't right.
You should at least consult the family.
- You stay out of it. - Mother.
Darn it.
He didn't say anything wrong. Why are you mistreating him?
Dae Ra, don't worry.
I'll never touch this house.
The restaurant either, so don't worry.
How can I trust you?
You act like an angel,
but nagged Mom in secret to pay off your debt, didn't you?
Dae Ra.
Dae Ra. You know Suh Ra would never do that.
That will never happen, as she said,
so don't worry.
Stop running your mouth and give that back.
No. I will not!
This belongs to Cha Ra and me.
I won't give it to Suh Ra.
Why should we?
Come on. She's their child too.
Don't be like that.
You're making her feel bad.
She's their child too?
Dae Ra!
You keep talking.
You're the one making me talk!
What do you and Dad have?
This house and restaurant are all you have.
But you'll give those to Suh Ra?
I refuse to let that happen. I'll protect them!
Suh Ra!
You loser.
You considerate witch.
You call yourself a big sister?
Why does everyone pick on me?
Stop it!
For the next three years,
if you'd live the way I tell you to,
your family will not have to run from creditors,
or suffer because of money.
What...
must I do?
You'll find out slowly.
First, you need to know something.
For those three years, you must be dead.
I haven't seen Koo Mi Hong around lately.
Go to the police station.
She's in the holding cell.
So sorry,
but I'm not a fan of police stations.
What's wrong with you?
Oh my gosh.
Do you want to talk here and make a ruckus,
or will go to talk somewhere nice and quiet?
What is it?
What else? Isn't it obvious?
Either bring your mom to us,
or give us our money.
We have to feed our children too.
I told you. Go to the police station.
I told you. I really don't like police stations.
Your daughter's name is Hae Sol, right?
She's crazy cute,
just like your wife.
Don't you dare touch her.
I'll kill you.
I'm shaking in my boots. What?
- Are you afraid we'll kidnap her? - What?
You weak little man.
You can't protect your daughter like that.
Hey. We have had it...
up to here with you.
If you want to see your daughter get married,
pay back our money and be a proper dad.
Darn it.
I didn't want to fight.
Hey.
No.
This isn't right.
This isn't right!
Ambulance. Ambulance!
Ambulance!
(The Secret of My Man)
Yes, that's right. Where's my husband?
Jae Wook. Can you stop stalling and leave already?
What is it?
Why are you butting into other people's business?
You won't let me just pass by.
Is someone there? Who are you?
That burn scar on your leg...
looks quite old.
Do you know how it feels to be abandoned on the street?
I won't give up on you.
Why me?
Why must it be me?
