(Episode 29)
Are you out of your mind?
Where's Min Ji?
Daddy.
Min Ji.
I killed her.
I killed Kim Hyeon Joo.
So let's please stop here.
Min Joon...
Our Min Joon...
We can't make him the son of a murderer.
(Office Hours)
(Korea Hospital)
How may I help you?
I'd like to enter the hospital for a second. Can you open the doors?
It's not office hours yet. Please come back again.
Wait, excuse me.
He'll say the same thing even if you try to talk to him again.
I checked to see if the car they kidnapped you in was here.
It's not.
They already got rid of the CCTV footages nearby areas.
It must be Han Jae Yeol.
There's no other person who'd do this to me.
You mean, Superintendent Han Jae Yeol?
Yes.
Why did he take me to this hospital?
How may I help you?
Do you have inpatients here too?
I told you to visit during the office hours.
Look, wait.
What about the inpatients?
Just in case.
I wonder...
if my sister is hospitalized in a place like this.
Daddy.
The purpose of the person...
who had someone kidnap me was to take the video footage from me.
The accident at the hotel also happened...
because of the video footage.
What's the video about?
On that video, my sister was...
with a man on the day when she went missing.
Does this person have something to do...
with her disappearance?
Yes.
Is that man...
Han Jae Yeol.
Why do you think he has something to do with her disappearance?
He's the man...
my sister was seeing.
She disappeared after Yoon Jin's daughter's accident.
I'm sure Jae Yeol is involved in it.
I came here to find my sister. I must have been...
an obstacle to him.
His secret was about to be revealed. He probably wanted...
to get rid of me.
Please find the evidence...
that proves it's Han Jae Yeol who did this to me today.
I need clear evidence.
Does Yoon Jin know about this too?
Yes.
Thank you for today.
(Kim Yoon Jin)
Hello?
Are you with Eun Young by any chance?
She's not answering her phone.
I dropped her off just now.
In front of my house?
Okay. I'll call you later.
Anything else you want to say?
That's all.
I see.
If what you said is true,
I would've done the same thing.
If she really did that to our daughter, I would've...
made a similar choice.
Yoon Jin.
Eun Young is near our house now.
She shouldn't stay here anymore.
If I had known this sooner,
I wouldn't have brought her back to our house.
I should tell her to leave.
Although she may not back off that easily.
Han Jae Yeol is behind all this.
Please leave now.
What?
Please leave our house now.
What are you doing?
There's no reason for you to stay in our house anymore.
There's no reason for me to stay here anymore?
- What is that supposed to mean? - There's literally no reason.
Why are you doing this?
Wait.
Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?
Open the door.
Open the door!
Are you sure about this?
What else can I do?
Should I let her keep staying here with the man who killed her sister?
Yoon Jin.
Yoon Jin, I need to talk to you.
- What are you doing? - Calling the police.
- Yoon Jin. - Come out here!
Come out here now!
A woman is making disturbance in front of my house.
- Open the door! - Yes.
Please come and check.
Hey!
Min Joon will come home soon.
I can't just let her be.
I don't think she will just give up after this,
but we should avoid her for now.
I don't feel comfortable seeing her.
I'm sorry.
I haven't decided what I'm going to do.
I need some time to think.
There's only one reason why I came to this house,
but there is...
no reason for me to stay here anymore?
What are you doing here?
The owner of this house called.
She said you were trying to break into her house.
Break in?
We've gotten a report, so we can't let you stay here.
Please leave now.
Okay, I will.
Should I get in that car?
Excuse me?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E29 Secret Mother "Murderer’s Son" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I have to pick Min Joon up.
Okay.
I was worried that you might not be here.
You haven't been answering your phone all day.
I haven't had time to charge my phone.
Were you surprised?
It felt like you stabbed me in the back.
I have to go pick up Min Joon, so I can't stay here for that long.
What did Jae Yeol tell you...
to make you kick me out like that?
I had to do it...
to make him think that I believed him.
What exactly did he tell you?
He told me he killed your sister.
Don't be surprised. I don't believe that.
Your sister is alive.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'll explain it on our way tomorrow.
On our way to where?
To find Kim Hyeon Joo, your sister.
Mom!
Ji Ho!
- When did you buy that? - Before class.
Your teacher said she'll get you prepared for the science academy.
- Did she give you a question? - Yes.
It's something you can answer, right?
I have to creatively explain how we can change the environment...
- in Venus so that it'll be... - Yes?
- the same as Earth's. - Okay.
Do you know the answer?
Let's go home and look it up together.
Even grown-ups can't answer it.
Why are they telling us to do it?
- How was class? - Good.
Really?
- What do you want to eat? - Fried chicken! Pizza!
- Really? Let's go! - Let's go!
(Administrative Law)
I bought this for you to study.
You haven't even started!
I've lost my will to do anything.
Even if you study hard, it may not be enough.
You don't have time to lose your will.
I can't even see my son when I want to,
and I'm stuck here alone like a widower.
Why would I want to do anything at all?
Start packing your things then.
What?
Are we getting back together?
We're in huge debt.
We can't afford to live separately.
But if we register our marriage again,
we won't be able to send Ji Ho to the Science Academy for the Gifted.
I thought about it,
and what's urgent right now isn't Ji Ho's education.
We need to be focusing on getting our lives back on track.
Are you sure about that?
When have I ever gone back on my word?
I always stick to what I say.
You better not take that back even after I get my life back on track.
What?
Ta-da. I passed the exam.
(You've passed the 2018 Grade 9 Civil Servant Exam.)
My gosh, when did you take the test?
Right after my stock plummeted.
I knew it. You're not the type who wouldn't have a backup plan.
Good job, honey.
You should make sure your salary gets wired into my bank account.
Okay.
- No, no. - Come on.
- No, no. - You need to catch up.
- Pass the ball and shoot. - Dad. No.
- No! - Goal!
It's okay. Let's play again.
(We Love You, Soo Min.)
Happy 10th birthday, sweetheart.
Thank you, Dad.
This is my gift for you.
Thank you for being healthy and growing up so well.
You didn't need to get me a gift for my birthday this year.
Why not?
I'd been pondering on what to get since last month.
I got one for you too. Open it.
I got you a dress that will look great on you.
I got a better gift this year.
What gift?
You're going to be living with us from now on...
instead of living across from us, right?
That's the best gift I could ever ask for.
You knew all along?
Soo Min, let me explain.
I sometimes come home really late after work.
And I didn't want to wake you up in the middle of the night.
So I didn't have a choice but to stay there sometimes.
But you're not going to go there anymore, right?
Gosh, of course.
I wonder when Soo Min found out.
I tried hard not to get caught.
Do you think she saw me leave at night wearing my suit?
- I left after seeing her sleep... - That's not what's important.
Soo Min said living with you is the best gift she could ever ask for.
She'll be so disappointed once she finds out...
that you got dispatched to a branch overseas.
Hye Kyung.
I already feel sorry that I lied to her for a whole year...
while having to live separately from you.
I don't think it'll be a good idea to keep it from her.
I'm going to tell her that you'll be working abroad.
Wait. Don't go.
Can't you just ask me...
to stay?
What do you mean?
Can't you ask me not to leave and say you want to...
live with me again?
I'll... I'll cancel...
I'll cancel... Okay, fine. I didn't even apply for a position.
Then why did you tell me that you did?
I wanted to hear you say...
you didn't want me to go.
You lied to me, hoping that I'd say that to you?
What else could I do? I'm the one who made the mistake last year.
I'm the one to blame.
I felt too ashamed to ask if we could get back together.
I don't have the right to say anything.
Does that mean you're not leaving?
It's a relief, isn't it? Soo Min won't have to be disappointed.
Whatever the case, you made a fool out of me.
No, that's not it.
You dared to lie to me...
just so you could protect your pride?
No, that's not it.
Fine, just take it out on me.
You can pull on my hair or even make me go bald.
I'll gladly put up with everything.
It's not like I did anything right either.
My gosh.
You need to take a look at successful restaurants...
and apply their management strategy to yours.
You must go through that process in order to be successful.
Therefore, you need to choose a restaurant and decide on...
- what kind of strategy... - Do you want to start a restaurant?
Why aren't you with your son?
I don't have a son.
Chae Lin's the only child I have.
Are you planning to start a business?
Mind your own business. We're done.
Ji Ae, must you be like this?
I filed a lawsuit against that woman. It's really over.
What are these?
I'm going to sell them.
Is it so that you can pay for Chae Lin's academy?
Don't bother. I've prepared everything.
You know that's the best consulting firm in the neighborhood, right?
I had them analyze what kind of subjects Chae Lin's weak at...
and got a list of all the apt academies.
If we support her according to their strategy,
she'll be able to get into...
all the prestigious schools and academies.
I don't need this anymore.
I'm the one who wants that life for her.
It's our role as her parents to make her want...
what we want for her.
I'll do that later. I'll support her once she willingly decides...
that she wants that kind of life for herself.
Until then, I'm going to work hard and earn money.
And I'm going to change my life.
I've been too dependent on you.
I get why you felt so pressured.
What are you talking about? You can depend on me a lot more.
I'll do everything I can for Chae Lin.
Let's get divorced.
I already filled in my share.
Don't throw it away like you did last time.
I'll open up a noodle restaurant for you.
The amusement park?
- Do you have everything? - Yes.
Where are you going so early on a holiday?
I'm going to the amusement park with my friends.
I promised to go with all the other mothers.
Oh, really?
Don't think too much. Just enjoy your time.
Okay.
- Let's hurry up, Mom. - Min Joon.
- Say goodbye to your dad. - Oh, right.
See you, Dad.
Okay. Have fun with your friends.
I'm sorry you can't go with us.
You should join us next time.
Okay.
I'll have fun with you tonight after I get back.
I'll be waiting for you, Min Joon.
Your friends will be waiting.
- Bye, Dad. - Bye.
- See you. - Okay.
I'm sorry, Min Joon. Something urgent came up.
It's okay.
I hope you have a blast at the amusement park with your friends.
- Okay. - Okay.
Min Joon, should we get going now?
Bye, Mom.
- Okay. - Come on, Min Joon.
Okay.
Thank you for doing this even when I texted you last minute.
They'll be having fun together, so don't worry.
Eun Young told me that you're going to meet Hyeon Joo.
I didn't ask any further, so don't worry.
Thank you.
Eun Young will come out soon. We'll be off now.
Have fun.
Let's talk in the car.
I'm sure you were really confused last night.
Thank you for trusting me and waiting.
Are you sure...
my sister is alive?
About the phone which she made a call with,
it's under the person named Park Yeon Soo.
She's the nurse of that hospital which you visited yesterday.
Her name sounded a bit familiar, so I checked...
and found out that she used to work with me in the past.
Then...
is my sister in that hospital?
Before I talked with my husband yesterday,
I heard about it from Yeon Soo.
Kim Yoon Jin, speaking.
Hello, this is Park Yeon Soo.
Are you Ms. Kim Yoon Jin,
who answered my phone last night?
Yes.
Please go on.
The woman who called you with my phone...
is Kim Hyeon Joo.
She said she'd been locked up in the hospital for a year.
I had my phone taken away by the director...
when I got caught for letting her use it.
He might take her to somewhere we don't know...
if he finds out that we know about the hospital.
That's why I had to act like...
I trusted my husband.
He fooled me for the last 10 years.
That much of a lie isn't a big deal.
If my sister is alive,
why did Han Jae Yeol lie that he killed her?
We'll find out once we rescue Hyeon Joo...
about why my husband had to make such a lie.
(Episode 30 will air shortly.)
(Episode 30)
Anything else you want to say?
That's all.
I see.
If what you said is true,
I would've done the same thing.
If she really did that to our daughter,
I would've...
made a similar choice.
- Hello? - Where's Yoon Jin?
She went to an amusement park with...
What's the matter?
No, it's nothing. Don't bother.
What's going on?
Mother.
Yoon Jin...
seems to have looked into this hospital.
Maybe she contacted the nurse who lent her phone to Hyeon Joo.
Eun Young even visited the hospital yesterday evening.
I'll go there.
You don't have to come here.
I'll take care of it.
Mother.
It'll be fortunate if my sister is really there.
But now that I'll meet her again soon,
I'm a bit afraid...
of what troubles we'll have to face after then.
Still, it's fortunate enough that she's alive.
Who you thought was dead is actually alive.
How fortunate is that?
Whom are you trying to abduct this time?
Hyeon Joo.
Is it really you?
Why have you been here all along?
Do you know how much I looked for you?
I was so scared...
I might not be able to see you ever again.
You've been through so much, haven't you?
Thank you for being alive like this.
It's okay. Everything is all right now.
I won't...
let you go anywhere from now on.
Go wait in the car.
Detective Ha will arrive here soon.
I'll look into some things at the hospital in the meantime.
Where were you trying to hide Hyeon Joo away this time?
What do you mean?
She killed my granddaughter,
so I want to take her to the police myself.
Who's hiding away whom?
Mother.
What brings you here?
She's a murderer.
Whether she's alive or not doesn't matter to you.
Please.
Please stop.
That's what I told you to do.
Ms. Park Seon Ja, you're under arrest for illegal confinement.
What are you doing?
You should be arresting Kim Hyeon Joo, not me.
What are you waiting for? Go get her.
You searched for her like crazy.
Why are you not doing anything?
Let's talk at the station.
Yoon Jin. Don't listen to a single word she says.
Don't listen to her.
I'll take Hyeon Joo to the hospital for now.
She doesn't seem to be in the right condition.
We haven't started the investigation yet,
but she's the prime suspect of Kim Hyeon Joo's missing case...
and your daughter's accident.
As soon as her checkup results are out,
we'll transfer her to the police station.
Call me as soon as you get to the hospital.
Okay.
I'd like to know...
how Hyeon Joo had been treated...
and how long she had been staying in this hospital.
Please let me know.
I will.
Her vital signs are mostly stable.
What about her blood test results?
Most of them are not within the normal range,
and hemoglobin and protein levels...
need to be raised right away.
However, there are no abnormal findings.
She must be in a mentally fragile condition.
Pay attention to that...
as you schedule her brain MRI and brainwave test.
Okay.
Hyeon Joo.
What on earth happened to you?
Are you here...
to see Kim Hyeon Joo?
I'm sure you know whose cellphones they are.
This is Kang Hyun Chul's cellphone.
It has a recording of your voice where you offered him money...
to attack Kim Eun Young at the hotel.
This is Nurse Park Yeon Soo's cellphone.
It was used as a decoy to kidnap Eun Young yesterday.
Are you thinking that...
I shouldn't be investigating when I'm suspended?
I didn't.
I'm not the one who found these.
It all started from Yoon Jin.
What are you...
talking about?
She gave me Hyun Chul's phone, asking me to reinvestigate his case.
She also gave me Park Yeon Soo's phone...
that has the number of your burner phone.
It was all Yoon Jin.
I want to take these to the police station and reveal everything,
but I don't think that's what Yoon Jin wants.
The choice is yours.
Yoon Jin would want you...
to tell the truth yourself.
I...
killed her.
I killed Kim Hyeon Joo.
So...
let's please stop here.
Min Joon...
Our Min Joon...
We can't make him the son of a murderer.
(Yoon Jin)
The person you're trying to reach isn't available.
We're calling from Gangnam Police Station.
We need you to come down to the station.
She said she won't tell us anything...
before she talks to you first.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E30 Secret Mother "Hyeon Joo Is Found" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
What did Kim Hyeon Joo tell you?
Is there something...
I have to hear from her?
You don't need to talk to her.
She ruined my son's future and wrecked a peaceful home.
I just punished her for that.
You just...
wanted to punish her?
Is that really all there was?
There's something I just can't understand.
Jae Yeol said he killed Hyeon Joo.
He told me that he killed her himself...
on the day of the accident.
Why do you think he had to tell me such a lie?
He must've wanted to kill her.
He must've wanted to believe that she was dead.
Jae Yeol couldn't bring himself to kill her,
so I took her from your villa,
put her in the hospital, and told her to live quietly.
What did you want to protect so badly...
for you to even lock her up?
I didn't want people to think...
that my son lost his child because of a mistress.
That's why I was trying to cover his secret.
There's nothing more than that?
Please.
Please stop. Everything is over now.
Illegal confinement of Kim Hyeon Joo.
I did that myself. Don't drag Jae Yeol into this.
He's the superintendent here.
There's no need to dig up the past and bring him down.
I'm begging you.
I'll take the blame for everything,
so let's end this here.
I'll talk to Jae Yeol.
Yoon Jin!
He's still...
your husband and Min Joon's dad whom you've lived with for over 10 years.
What are you going to tell Min Joon?
Aren't you afraid of Min Joon's finding out about this?
I'm more afraid of the times when I didn't know...
- anything about this. - Sometimes,
you're better off not knowing the truth.
(Seoul Gangnam Police Station)
This phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
I killed her.
I killed Kim Hyeon Joo.
What are you going to tell Min Joon?
Aren't you afraid of Min Joon's finding out about this?
Did you get a call from Superintendent Han?
He won't pick up.
I told him everything.
You met him?
When? Where did you meet him?
I met him near Korea Hospital, the place you found Kim Hyeon Joo.
He came to the hospital?
He came right after you took off with Kim Hyeon Joo.
Okay. I'll go now.
If you can't get a hold of him for a long time,
please let me know.
Okay.
I requested an autopsy for Kang Hyun Chul's corpse.
We couldn't reach his family, so his body was being kept.
But we finally reached them and got them to agree on the autopsy.
Good job.
I barely managed to get the autopsy done.
But I'm not sure how the results will turn out.
Don't worry. Kang Hyun Chul...
didn't commit suicide.
(Han Jae Yeol)
He probably wanted to kill her.
He probably wanted to believe that she was dead.
(Han Jae Yeol, National Police Agency)
Hyeon Joo, can you hear me?
Are you listening?
I wanted to wait until you're ready to talk.
Both I and Yoon Jin...
have a lot of questions for you.
Didn't you...
call Yoon Jin because you had...
something to tell her?
I'll wait...
until you tell me what happened that night...
and why you had to...
stay at that place as if you were dead.
The doctor wants to talk to you about her test results.
Okay.
Take some rest.
(Kim Yoon Jin)
Sir, are you at the hospital?
Yes, I'm on my way. What's going on?
I called to ask if you could place protection for Kim Hyeon Joo.
Okay, I'll make a call.
I'll be there right away.
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
The patient isn't in the hospital room.
(Kim Yoon Jin)
My sister disappeared.
I'm almost at the hospital. I'll be right there.
I'll go downstairs.
Is the patient still missing?
Do you know what this is?
I lent it to the patient because she wanted to check something.
Are you saying...
- my sister spoke? - Yes.
Please call me once the patient returns.
(File folder)
(Facilities, Center Supply Room, Elevator)
I killed her.
I killed Kim Hyeon Joo.
What is it that you're trying to hide from me...
by even lying that you killed Kim Hyeon Joo?
What's your secret...
that forces you to hide her again when I've finally found her?
No.
No, stop. Stop.
Jae Yeol, stop the car!
(Episode 31 will air shortly.)
