(Episode 11)
Why?
What went wrong?
He has microcephaly.
Everything was fine with my egg and your sperm.
I think it's because of drugs.
Ji Young apparently...
took a tranquilizer in her early stages of pregnancy.
A tranquilizer?
Yes.
I kept questioning her, and she told me everything.
She apparently didn't know that she wasn't supposed to take that drug.
It turns out that she also drank some alcohol...
when she went to see her mom without telling us.
She should've known the dangers of doing that...
during her early stages of pregnancy.
I can't believe her!
I'm sorry, honey.
I should've kept her in control.
Should we just give up on having this baby...
and adopt a baby boy?
Let's just say he's ours.
We can't do that.
We won't be able to fool my parents.
They'll think the surrogate gave birth,
so they'll definitely do a thorough check.
I can't have this baby.
They'll kick me out of the house.
You want to give up on him?
Then what else can we do?
Even if you can't give up on him,
I'm still not going to have him. I really can't.
I'd rather give up on this baby and try hiring another surrogate.
And if that doesn't work, I'd rather adopt a baby.
I just can't have this baby.
Okay.
I want her to get an abortion as soon as possible.
If the baby grows more, I think I'll feel too sorry.
- We're home. - We're home.
You guys came home together.
I'm glad you're both here. Take a seat.
Your father has something to say to you guys.
Sit down.
We know that our grandchild is going to be a boy,
and he passed the congenital anomaly test...
which means everything's fine now.
So we're going to start telling our close friends and family.
Dad.
No, we're not going to tell them about the surrogate.
But our family's expecting an offspring,
and it'll be weird to suddenly tell everyone...
after the baby suddenly shows up out of nowhere.
He's right.
People might think we adopted him or something.
So from now on, I don't want you going to anywhere, Kyung Shin.
If you must go somewhere, wear maternity clothes.
Why don't you just go to your parents' house...
and come back when the baby's born?
What's wrong?
Why the long face?
Do you not want to go?
Mother, that's not it.
To be honest...
Okay, Mother.
Let's go upstairs, honey.
Okay.
Why does she always look so down these days?
She always has a frown on her face.
She and I really don't get along.
She should learn how to be more amiable.
I'll only end up treating her based on how she behaves.
Why did you bring me up here?
I don't know.
I'm so scared that I might pass out.
They'll obviously blame me...
for not having taken care of the surrogate.
Let's just wait one more day...
and tell them tomorrow.
Who is it?
Hye Rim.
Welcome home.
What's going on?
Is it some kind of special day today?
I just wanted to have dinner with you.
What's with the fuss?
My gosh, look at all the food.
You bought them, didn't you?
I gave up on hiring a surrogate because you were so against it.
I'll yield to you.
Instead, I'll just have our baby.
That's okay, right?
Will you be okay?
You can't stand morning sickness,
and you're all about your career.
Will you be able to give up on all that?
Yes, I can do it.
Instead, I want to get pregnant through artificial insemination.
What? Artificial insemination?
What's that?
We have to go to the hospital and artificially...
insert your sperm into my uterus while I'm ovulating.
It's different from in vitro fertilization.
Why does it need to be so complicated?
We just need you, me, and that bed...
to have a baby.
Getting pregnant during ovulation isn't easy.
You may be jobless, but I have a shoot every day.
I want to get pregnant according to my schedule.
This is different from getting pregnant naturally...
because of its success and accuracy rate.
Listen carefully.
When students study for the college entrance exam,
they need to use a book that has a high accuracy rate...
in order to get good results.
And they need to go to an academy with a high success rate...
in order to into college.
Do we really need to do this?
Gosh, I told you. This is the only way for me.
It's hard for me to get pregnant when I want to because I'm busy.
On top of that, I won't be able to get pregnant that easily...
because of the surgery I got recently.
Hye Rim told me...
that I have intrauterine adhesion.
Sang Hyuk, come on.
I'll drop you off over there. You can take a taxi home.
- I need to meet someone. - Who?
An investor.
Why are you meeting him so late?
He asked me to meet after he got off work. Happy?
Whatever. I've already made up my mind.
I'm going to quit everything and have a baby.
Go to the hospital and get me your sperm.
Get out.
Okay, fine.
He really won't yield.
I need his sperm before I can hire a surrogate.
(Petit parole)
Small businesses don't have very high marketing budgets.
But they're confident with their products.
And you're the best when it comes to social media marketing.
I know which company makes nice toners...
and which company is good at making great powder foundations.
They're just not well-known yet.
But they're as good as the products that get imported from abroad.
I want to establish a co-brand named "Petit Parole"...
and carry out a co-marketing strategy.
"Petit Parole"?
That's right. It's French, and it means "small promise".
We may be small,
but we can all get together and make a promise...
that we'll do our best to impress our customers.
That's the meaning behind the name.
Young people these days are very fussy when it comes to cosmetics,
so we can provide...
detailed information for each of our products on social media.
- Take a look. - Okay, sure.
Do you guys have something on your mind?
He's right.
Ever since yesterday, you guys don't look so well.
Did you fight?
- Of course not. - Then what's wrong?
You guys never fight.
The only problem you guys ever had was about having babies.
Is there something wrong with the surrogate?
My goodness, did something happen to the baby?
Well, the thing is...
Honey, I want you to go to the hospital...
and ask Hye Rim what's going on.
I'll tell you.
What? A deformed baby?
I'm sorry, Father.
I never knew she'd deceive me.
She took a tranquilizer without telling me.
If I knew, I wouldn't have let her take it.
I'm sorry, Father.
That little wench. I might as well just...
Where is she right now?
Let's go.
No, Mother. Let's just hold it in.
If word gets out, it'll only taint our family's reputation.
I'll take care of everything quietly.
I feel like pulling all her hair out.
Get all the money back...
and file a lawsuit for damages.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
My gosh.
My goodness.
He was so happy that our family line will be carried on.
He was finally relieved because he was no longer...
ashamed to face our ancestors.
What's your problem?
Why did you let her...
take that kind of drug?
How are you so irresponsible?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I naively trusted her too much.
I really thought she was a good woman.
I guess I should give you a pat on the back for that.
Good for you.
What should we do, honey?
You were so happy to have a grandson.
What's going to happen?
Hasn't she called yet?
No.
I wonder if she's still contemplating.
Her family isn't the type that'd be okay with a deformed child.
What kind of people are they?
Do you know them?
What?
I mean, they're rich.
I only said that because her in-laws seem to be quite powerful.
The baby's parents may be coldhearted about all this,
but his grandparents might think differently.
Grandparents love their grandchild more than their own child.
My gosh.
Do you think it'll be hard for us to get the remaining amount?
The baby will hear you.
I don't care. That baby's not important right now.
We might not get paid.
Leave now.
Get out of here right now.
- Get out. - Okay, fine.
Okay.
So what are you going to do?
Tell me, Hyun Joon.
Why can't you say anything?
We'll...
have her get an abortion.
Gosh.
We thought we'd finally get a chance to see a grandchild.
How did our family end up becoming like this?
See? What did I tell you?
I told you that hiring a surrogate was a bad idea.
But you kept insisting that everything would be fine.
You both should be ashamed of yourselves.
Why don't you try to explain yourself, Kyung Shin?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I made all the decisions.
Don't be so hard on her.
You're still taking her side?
What good is that for anyone?
You should've either broken up with her...
or come up with another solution.
You're as irresponsible as she is.
It seems like you've already come to a decision.
So just do what you want.
Instead of having him get humiliated...
and insulted all his life as a deformed child,
it'd be better to just have the surrogate get an abortion.
Our family's descendants aren't just ordinary individuals.
He'll have to become...
someone who can protect our family's honor...
and take on a social responsibility.
Only the ones who can deal with all that...
deserve to be born.
You can always try having another baby.
I can't forgive that woman.
I need to meet her.
No, honey.
You can't get involved.
Everyone in this country knows you.
Things will get complicated if you get involved.
That woman...
stomped on our family's hope.
Didn't you see...
how upset my parents were?
I know. But what can we do?
What's done is done.
We can use money to take revenge.
I'll ask her to return all the deposit...
and kick her out of that house.
"Return"?
Do you really think they'll return the money they already took?
What else can we do?
Are you going to beat her up or what?
That will only bring shame upon our family and the company...
once people find out.
Let's forget about everything.
Let's forget about everything and start over again.
Let's do that, okay?
Ms. Choi.
We've come to a decision.
You're not going to ask me to get rid of him, right?
No, Ms. Choi. We can't do that.
I want you to go to the hospital tomorrow.
I already asked your brother to make a reservation.
No. Can you please think things over?
He's your baby.
You're this baby's mother.
Yes, I know.
And I'm making a decision as the mother.
You just need to do as I say.
I can't do that.
How could I kill...
this living baby?
Don't you pity him?
Why do you keep talking back?
Did you forget the contract?
"If the baby turns out to be deformed..."
"and Choi Kyung Shin requests Yoon Ji Young to get an abortion,"
"Yoon Ji Young will do as Choi Kyung Shin asks."
But...
But I've become too attached to this baby.
It doesn't feel like someone else's baby.
Well, it is.
It doesn't have a single percentage of your genes.
Abide by the contract.
Wait. Ms. Choi.
Can you please reconsider?
I want to give birth to this baby.
Can you please let me do that?
Why are you being like this? It's not even your baby.
What's your true intention?
Is it because of money?
Ms. Choi.
Fine. I'll give you enough compensation. Happy?
I know you love this baby as well.
Back when I couldn't eat because of my morning sickness,
you were worried because you thought the baby might not grow properly.
You didn't even let me go outside...
because you didn't want me inhaling bad air.
And when I started eating peaches,
you were happy saying that the baby must take after his dad.
We even went to the department store to get baby clothes.
And that...
You even bought me paints so I could draw that.
You loved him so much.
You thought of him so preciously.
Even if he's deformed,
he's still your baby.
You loved him so much.
That's how precious he was.
Don't you feel sorry for the tiny life...
that's inside of me?
What do you know?
You don't know what I'm going through.
Do you know what will happen to me if I have this baby?
Do you?
I can't let my life get ruined.
Ms. Choi. Ms. Choi!
Ms. Choi! Ms. Choi!
Let me go! Ms. Choi!
I guess this is what you call karma.
Hey.
I'm just by myself. What's up?
Min Kyung thankfully gave up on hiring a surrogate.
But she wants to get pregnant through artificial insemination.
Why does she want to do that?
She's capable of getting pregnant naturally.
Apparently, it's more successful for her to get pregnant that way.
She comes by every day...
and nags at me to cooperate.
And it's completely stressing me out.
Do it. Give her what she wants.
Your family's been wanting a child for a while, so it'll be good.
Your parents will be happy.
Kyung Shin's already pregnant.
To be honest, I'm not sure if Min Kyung getting pregnant...
is a good thing.
I thought you reconciled with her.
Yes, I did. But...
Then just have a baby.
I'm sure the baby will help your relationship get better.
You should come to my hospital. When are you free?
I'll have everything ready.
Why are you so enthusiastic?
I want you guys to have a baby.
I really do. I'm serious.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Ji Young's refusing to get an abortion.
Isn't that a breach of contract?
Really?
Don't worry. She has no right.
I'll convince her to get the surgery.
Of course. We should abide by the contract.
We'll be going to the hospital tomorrow morning.
We should take care of it as fast as we can.
Yes, okay.
By the way,
I'm sorry to ask this, but what about the remaining amount of money?
Ms. Choi told me the passcode.
She told me to sleep here and take you to the hospital tomorrow.
Sung Nam.
Why are you being such a fool?
It's not your baby.
You have no say in this. You have no right.
You're just a surrogate.
You just need to follow the contract.
Getting an abortion is illegal.
I don't care if it's illegal or not.
Are you going to take care of him?
He's not even your child. Plus, he's not even normal.
Tell me. Are you going to raise him?
I didn't know something like this would ever happen.
I always thought of him as someone else's baby.
Yes, that's right. It's someone else's baby.
I lost my baby due to an accident.
So I really wanted this baby to come out into this world...
and grow up happily.
Everyone wanted the same thing.
It's just his luck.
Anyway, if we refuse to do what the client says,
we have to give her all the money back. You know that, right?
We'll have to give her back 250,000 dollars.
She said she'll pay us 50,000 dollars if you do this.
Gosh, what a pity. We were so close to getting the rest of the money.
Find another job as soon as you get better.
We need to take care of the remaining debt.
Sleep well. We'll be leaving early in the morning tomorrow.
Darn it.
The surgery's all done. You did really well.
You did well.
Are you going to take care of him?
He's not even your child.
Plus, he's not even normal.
I'm sorry.
(Pureun OB-GYN)
Let's go.
Hey.
I called because I got worried.
Are you doing okay?
I wasn't angry at you that day.
I was just angry at myself.
I kind of wanted to blame you...
for the baby's disorder.
I know. I understand.
What about the baby? What's going to happen?
We decided not to have it.
But I told my husband that the baby has microcephaly...
because Ji Young took drugs.
So please don't say anything to anyone.
Kyung Shin.
I couldn't tell him the truth.
You know my family.
They'll kick me out if they find out that my egg was the problem.
We won't ever have to see them once this is all over.
And we didn't do them any harm.
Plus, you're obligated to keep this a secret since I'm your patient.
So that won't be a problem either.
Please lie down.
I'm going to put you under anesthesia.
It's going to sting.
Wait. Just a second.
My baby... Please save my baby!
- Miss. - I don't think I can do this.
Miss.
Come on.
Excuse me.
(Pureun OB-GYN)
Taxi! Taxi!
Hey!
Please drive the car, sir.
- Let's just go anywhere. - What?
Hey!
Sir, please! I can't get caught!
I'm pregnant!
(I am also Mother)
I'll get a surrogate.
Please help me out.
Sang Hyuk thinks you're the one getting pregnant.
Why can't you do a better job?
She was at the terminal, so I'm sure she went to see her mom.
If things go wrong,
you better get ready for a lawsuit.
What's your problem?
Why are you reacting so seriously?
It's not like you.
You're always so selfish.
You always have to do things your way.
Everything's fine now. You don't need to worry.
I'll protect you.
