You won't...
let Mi Jin divorce Jeong Hoon?
You want me to work here at Daeguk.
Is that only until Jeong Hoon comes back?
That means my company will just disappear.
How dare you?
I told you to just do as I say.
Is this...
because of...
the bag of gold bars?
What are you talking about?
I was an orphan who was starving to death.
You took me in.
My only goal in life was to do anything you wanted.
When Jo Dong Cheol taught me how to pick pockets...
Shut your mouth!
Even then, if it were for you,
I said I'd do anything.
I still feel the same.
Uncle. That happened during the madness and confusion of war.
The one who lost it and the one who found it.
You can't put the blame on either.
Jeong Hoon's brother.
He knows.
Okay.
Inside that bag...
was his father's pocket watch.
There's no denying it.
You can always make up an excuse.
What's wrong with taking a bag you found on the road?
I need you to bring me cash.
You're the only one I can trust. Why are you so distracted?
Okay.
I need to meet Congressman Oh.
He seems to have softened a little.
I'll seal the deal.
I'll come along.
I can't let you go on your own.
My presence could help one way or another.
Do you know when you leave?
Soon.
But I feel terrible.
Why?
Our bag of gold.
We know Jo Dong Cheol took it,
but you're looking into the second man.
We just have to find him and I'm leaving that task to you.
Don't worry about that and go abroad.
Don't try to take Jo Dong Cheol on.
I'm scared you'll get hurt again.
I know. I know what you're worried about.
Jeong Tae.
Are you sure my father-in-law isn't involved?
Why would you say that?
You said he framed you for what Mr. Jo did.
If they're that close,
couldn't he be the other guy?
It's not like that.
Would I be so quiet if it were him?
Stop getting things into your head and leave.
Don't worry too much.
He agreed to meet you. That means we have hope.
Hello, Congressman.
Thank you for sparing me some time.
Let's all sit down.
Who is this young man?
Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Cha Sang Pil.
He's my nephew and he runs Lucky Entertainment.
Oh, him.
Hye Rin is actually my daughter.
Pardon?
Sorry for the late introduction.
Thank you for entrusting us with such great talent.
I'll support her as best I can.
Sir.
Give me one more chance.
Then I'll give up...
everything I have for the future of our party.
Guilty by association isn't a charge we can pay to cover up.
I do feel bad about the trouble your son-in-law put you in,
and I want to help.
I'll see what I can do, so you be prepared to make a move.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
I'll pass you the money through him.
Okay.
I'll visit you soon. Goodbye, sir.
Thank you.
Gather all the cash you can and hurry.
Yes, Uncle.
Oh Jeong Hoon speaking.
Okay, Father.
I just met Congressman Oh.
He'll help me out.
He agreed that it's best you're not around.
Get ready to leave soon.
Yes, Father.
Thank you and I'm sorry.
Get out.
- Mr. Oh. - What?
While digging at the Hoseo Dam site,
workers found what could be cultural relics.
Should we contact the government?
Yes. Halt construction and send off a notice.
Yes, sir.
Kyung Ho.
Yes?
Once I leave and Mr. Hwang joins Congress,
I wonder what'll happen to Daeguk.
An executive will take over as CEO,
but I'd like you to work harder too.
I will.
Look out for Jeong Tae for me.
I feel bad that I'm leaving him with a huge task.
Forget about that and leave in peace.
I hope you do.
- Mother. - Mi Jin.
I came to see you and Grandma. Let's go inside.
Okay, sure.
Mother, Jeong Hoon's wife here.
What, Mi Jin's here?
Welcome.
We heard yesterday...
when Jeong Hoon was here.
You're both going abroad.
Yes.
- You want to go too? - Of course.
Every day here is torture because of him and Soon Young.
That's why my father wants us to go abroad for a while.
Yes, we know that.
Tell him that we're grateful and apologetic for everything.
Please, Mi Jin.
Then send this baby back.
When we're back, him and Soon Young should be out of the picture.
That's what I came to say.
Look who's here.
Why are you here?
- Is Soon Young in? - What?
Hey, you!
Why are you lying down?
Are you crazy?
Soon Young, lie back down.
Why are you pretending to be sick?
Is it an excuse not to get your baby back?
Look if you have eyes.
How can you say that to someone who hasn't eaten in days?
Jeong Hoon and I go abroad soon.
Nothing will break us apart.
You can use your son against us but it won't work. Why?
Because we're married. That's what marriage is.
So stop dreaming of getting him back and get your son.
Okay?
What an evil brat.
Hello, Ms. Hwang.
Ms. Jung, I'm going to close the boutique soon.
What? Why?
I'm going abroad with my husband.
So suddenly?
It looks like it.
What are you doing? Get out of my seat.
When Jeong Hoon leaves the country,
you'll take over Daeguk and I'll take over Lucky.
Why get so agitated about something so minor?
Does Oh Jeong Tae still work at your cabaret?
Why do you ask?
Do you want him gone?
Isn't that obvious? Why keep a troublemaker close?
Come on. The closer you keep an enemy the better it is.
So, what's up with our boss?
Both Jeong Hoon and Jeong Tae can be taken care of in one swipe.
What's all this fuss about sending him abroad?
Talk to me.
We should share information now.
Get out of here and don't come when you please.
Why mistreat me when you'll come to me for help?
I said get out.
What's the matter?
Oh Se Ra.
You should let her go soon too.
See you.
Mr. Cha, why would he say that about Bok Shil?
Don't mind him. Se Ra, you have acting class.
Yes, sir. Let's go, Choon Ja.
Okay. That ruined my mood.
Hello, everyone.
Why are you here, Reporter Han?
Oh Se Ra worked at a club. Is that true?
What?
What do you mean? I never did that.
I got a reliable tip and came to check.
Reporter Han, I don't know who told you, but you're wrong.
He's right. I never worked at a club.
Se Ra, calm down. Reporter Han, let's talk outside.
Sure.
Who is it? Who told you?
I can't tell you that.
I have to protect my source.
Anyway, you can read about it soon.
What? Why write an article before checking the facts?
I'm here to check, aren't I?
Listen. I don't know who tipped you off,
but that never happened.
If you print anything, I'll sue you for defamation.
Put a stop to it now.
Don't worry about it, Se Ra.
Sir, I think it's about that night.
When the fraud conned me into singing at a club.
That's right.
Did the man we met yesterday spread the news?
A man? What man?
I saw the fraud in the street yesterday.
Could it be him who really told the reporter?
What should I do now?
Don't worry. A press conference should clear your name.
Please help. I don't want my career to end here.
Right. Bok Shil's just getting started.
I said don't worry.
Jin Kyu, find out where the rumor started and look for the fraud.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Cha, is something wrong?
It's nothing.
Choon Ja, do you think it's over for me?
Don't worry.
Mr. Cha said he'll talk to the press to explain.
- You got back from work? - Yes.
I'm going home.
Is something wrong?
She looks upset.
Did you know a fraud conned her into...
going to a club?
A club?
I heard about the fraud,
but what's this about a club?
He duped her into singing at a club one night.
A reporter came today...
to ask if Bok Shil worked at a club.
She's out of her mind with shock.
Sorry, Choon Ja, but can you call her for me?
Bok Shil.
It didn't happen, did it?
No. I didn't work at a club.
How did a reporter hear what happened a year ago?
I don't know.
But Mr. Cha knows that I'm innocent.
How does he know?
The night I was duped into...
singing at the club,
I met him there by chance.
He saved me.
I see.
He told me not to worry, that he'll sort it out.
That's a relief.
Bok Shil.
Were you shocked?
I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
Kyung Ho.
Do you know what I thought?
I wanted to become a singer...
and sold the radio you bought me...
with what you earned in Vietnam.
I thought...
I was being punished for that.
Why would you say that?
I objected in you becoming a singer.
I feel terrible about that now.
Cheer up.
You worked hard to get this far. You won't go down too easily.
Don't you hate me?
Why are you so nice to me?
How can I hate you?
Cheer up, Bok Shil.
Tell me whenever you're struggling.
I'll help however I can.
Dad, I went to Sohyun-dong today...
and they asked me to thank you.
Okay.
They would be grateful.
We're sending him abroad instead of kicking him out over his son.
Mi Jin, leave the boutique to me and Sang Pil.
You get ready to leave.
Okay.
You look so pleased.
I'm so upset.
You married the wrong guy and now we have to live apart.
Darn it.
What's wrong with her?
- Dad, I'll calm her down. - Okay.
Transfer your duties as soon as possible.
- Don't drag things on. - I won't.
Who will you put in charge of running the company?
Don't worry about that. I'll find someone I'm sure.
You go upstairs.
I want to talk to Sang Pil.
Okay.
Does he really not know about the bag?
It bothers me that he's being too obedient.
He married Mi Jin because he needed to survive.
And I'm the only one who can help cover that he's a defector's son.
He knows how to bow to power to survive.
You're sending Jeong Hoon abroad,
but what will you do about his brother?
I have a plan.
Do you have something to say?
Sang Pil.
You worked hard to build up your company...
and I ruined it. I'm sorry.
Is that enough?
I have to make a sacrifice because of you.
Oh, right.
Once you leave, I'll take over Daeguk.
What?
Did Father agree to that?
Isn't it obvious?
It's what he wants and I must do as I'm told.
You be good to Mi Jin.
She's so happy.
Make up for everything you didn't do to her.
I'm writing down what to pack.
I'll pack for you too,
so focus on wrapping up at work.
Okay.
I don't know how I'd have managed without Dad.
We are going abroad,
but I was worried about Soon Young and her son.
Dad said he'll sort everything out for us,
so I just have to have fun.
You can't forget what you owe my dad, okay?
What was your father like?
He's gone now, but you never talked about him.
My father...
was respected by everyone.
Everyone, including me...
respected him and looked up to him.
But I resented him.
What do you mean?
Why resent someone you respect?
My father...
ruined my whole life.
But...
it was actually me, not my father.
I was foolish.
Now I realize that it's my fault I'm like this.
I can't blame my father anymore.
I don't get what you're saying.
What else should I pack?
Are you still looking for Ax?
And watching Jeong Tae?
Yes, we're doing both.
I need to go out.
You don't get off work until later.
Madam Gu's not here. I want to check on her.
Fire her or drag her over here. Do whatever you want.
Now focus on your job.
Understand?
He looks so disappointed.
Mr. Jo, why is he acting like he's given up?
- What? - I just don't get it.
Forget about the bag of gold.
He was crazy about getting to the bottom of how and why...
you framed him for killing a man last year.
Park Yong Chil.
Who said that I killed a man? Who said that?
No one, sir.
Why are you here? Because of me?
I'm going.
I was late because Soon Young's sick but I'm going.
You go ahead. I'll check on her for a bit.
Do what you want. I have to go.
I can't lose my job.
It's Jeong Tae.
I'm coming in.
How are you?
You can't eat at all?
You should eat and get your energy back.
Why won't Jeong Hoon keep his promise?
He said he'd send Min Su back.
I brought some medicine. Take it after your meal.
He took my son from me,
Does he think he can just leave the country now?
It's not like that.
I begged.
I believed him.
He's a jerk.
He's cruel.
I can't forgive him.
He abandoned me...
and took Min Su.
I won't forgive him.
Please don't hate my brother.
He had no choice then.
He had to leave you.
He left at the time...
because...
our father had defected.
We found out much later...
and that's why he gave up law.
What?
He must've felt lost and helpless.
He couldn't get a job anywhere.
So he...
worked at a construction site.
Jeong Hoon...
He didn't know what to do, but he wanted to live.
He couldn't let us down because we all relied on him.
And he couldn't let...
someone he loved suffer too.
That's why he left.
I had no idea.
Why didn't you tell me, Jeong Hoon?
Ok Boon.
Hi.
Here you go.
I made some diapers for Min Su.
Why would you do this much for us?
Because he's such a sweet boy.
Here.
Thanks. Thank you so much.
Is Jeong Tae home?
Not yet.
- Okay then. Sleep well. - Goodnight.
Jeong Tae. I knew you'd be here.
Why do you drink so much these days?
If you have a concern, talk to me.
And you'll solve it?
Of course. Tell me.
What is it? Is it about Min Su?
If it is, don't worry.
I'll raise him.
What?
I'll marry you, register him as ours,
and raise him well.
I made some diapers and gave them to your mom.
Do you believe me now?
Stop drinking.
Alcohol won't solve your problems.
Get up. It's late. Let's go home.
Let's go.
Jeong Tae, stop.
What is wrong with you?
I just asked you to marry me.
Don't you get that?
Do you really not know or are you ignoring it?
Do you not like me? Didn't you like me?
Why do you always make me cling to you?
Why are you so useless?
(Daepo Mageolli)
- I'm off to work. - Okay. See you.
- It's hot. Take breaks in between. - Yes, please do.
Dad, have a nice day at work.
Okay, thanks, Choon Ja.
- Mal Soon. - Yes?
Can you find Choon Ja another man?
Dad, why must I go on another date?
If you don't like Tae Shik, you should meet someone else.
Yes. I was hoping you'd marry Tae Shik,
but you don't like him.
Then you should find someone else.
Dad!
Choon Ja, before you get married,
it's not bad meeting and dating a few men.
Find her someone nice.
Sure, I'll do that.
You gave me a sack of rice,
so I'll ask around.
You don't need to.
Dad, I don't need to go on blind dates.
Do you like someone then?
Tell your dad if you do.
As if there would be someone she likes.
- See what you can do, Mal Soon. - Sure, sure.
- Dad. - Have a nice day.
Don't do it.
Don't go and waste everyone's time.
Why not?
- Are you going to work? - Yes.
- You're leaving early. - Yes.
Jeong Tae, do you have any idea...
why Choon Ja won't marry Tae Shik?
What? Well...
It's fine if you don't.
I wondered if she told you...
what she can't tell me.
Choon Ja doesn't like Tae Shik,
so I'll set her up on another date.
Another blind date?
She should get married soon too.
Exactly. I'm so upset, you know.
Jeong Tae, don't upset your grandma and get married yourself.
I told you to have courage, didn't I?
You're just as qualified as anyone to marry.
I have to go ahead to buy some cabbage.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- See you. - Take care.
Did Jeong Tae say he's not qualified to marry?
He seemed to be concerned.
I told him not to be too worried and tried to cheer him up.
I see.
Last night, Choon Ja came over with diapers...
she had made for Min Su.
Did she do a good enough job?
She tried her best but I'm not sure if you can use any of them.
I'm so grateful.
I'm not sure if I should accept them.
Don't you say that.
Choon Ja's just very thoughtful.
That's all it is.
Okay.
Mom.
How come you're here?
Where's Jeong Woo?
Grocery shopping with Jeong Tae.
Are you preparing to go abroad?
Yes.
- Do you need anything? - Me?
I'll be away for a few years.
I want to get you what you might need before I leave.
We don't need anything.
Why bother yourself?
I want you to...
give Min Su back to Soon Young.
I'll feel much better knowing he's with his mom.
I came to you because Grandma will only get angry.
Okay.
I'll send Min Su back to Soon Young. Don't worry.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young.
I'm sorry. I'll send Min Su back soon.
You should eat. You look terrible.
- Jeong Hoon. - What?
Why didn't you tell me? Then...
I wouldn't have resented you.
What do you mean?
Jeong Tae told me.
You left me because your father defected.
I hated you a lot.
I blamed you.
But if I had known,
then I'd have let you go without blaming you.
Soon Young.
Back then...
I felt as if darkness had swallowed me up.
I couldn't drag you in with me.
So I made that choice.
I regretted it a lot.
Why did I make such a foolish choice?
Why was I such a coward?
I feel terrible and guilty when I think of you.
Even more so for Min Su that I can't even speak.
Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young.
I can't abandon Mi Jin either.
I chose her too. How can I divorce her?
I know.
Of course you must be responsible for what you did.
My father-in-law...
knows I'm guilty by association.
Does he really? Does Mi Jin know too?
No.
But her father covered it up.
That's why we have to go abroad.
I didn't know that's why you're leaving.
I thought Mi Jin's father was a scary man.
I'm grateful to hear that he cares for you.
That's how I feel about him now.
Soon Young.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
Don't be or think about it now.
You should be good to Mi Jin now.
I really want you to be happy and at ease.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Come in.
Sir, have a look at this.
We contacted the government...
and they want us to stop construction.
- We have to stop? - Yes.
You tell him.
We're not to touch anything until they check first.
They need you at the site when the officials come over.
Okay. Let me report to Mr. Hwang.
Sang Pil, how are things going?
How much do you have?
Get some more.
That's not enough to satisfy Congressman Oh.
Don't feel bad about losing your company, okay?
Bye.
Come in.
I need to tell you something.
What is it?
I can't go abroad.
What?
Why can't you leave?
(Through the Waves)
Why did this happen?
Send him back to Soon Young.
- Do you like me too? - Yes.
- I'm pleased to meet you. - Give me one more chance.
I'll let you register Min Su as your family.
Se Ra's career's over now.
Will you put a stop to it?
Is it just the press conference?
- It was Sang Pil. - Let me talk to the press.
Was it really Sang Pil?
How can I leave Daeguk to someone like that?
- I apologize. - Is it me or Se Ra?
It's up to you.
