(Episode 95)
(Jenny)
"Jenny"?
What's this?
Who's the girl in the photo?
What is all this?
Why is my name written on the envelope?
I'm home.
What about Jenny?
She had to finish off some stuff at work.
- She'll be home soon. - Can you sit down for a minute?
Did you look into another hospital for Jenny?
- Yes. - I already explained everything...
to the previous doctor she met. Didn't she tell you anything?
She did.
I heard a group of gypsies always abused Jenny...
and even taught her how to steal.
Yes, she was always covered in bruises...
because they beat her up so much every time she made a mistake.
What were you doing while she was getting abused like that?
How could you neglect her?
I didn't neglect her.
I was busy making a living.
I had my own reasons.
She spent time with them behind my back.
Her bruises were always covered in her clothes.
It took me a while to find out.
Even our neighbors totally got mistaken...
and thought I abused my own daughter.
They actually suspected you of child abuse?
Yes, you have no idea how hard it was to explain myself.
They almost took Jenny away from me.
I see.
You know Jenny used to walk in her sleep, have panic attacks,
and depression, right?
Yes, I heard.
All of that happened back then.
I see.
Anyway, I don't ever want to think about those days.
So don't get involved...
and try to help Jenny get her memory back.
She always wishes to glamorize her relationship with her daughter.
Do you really think she'll admit to knowing these hideous photos?
She's going to deny it until the end.
Jenny's an adult now.
Jenny and I will deal with that issue on our own.
Are you serious?
I'll get changed and cook dinner.
He's been surprisingly obedient until now.
But I guess he doesn't care now that he's married.
Look at him slowly showing his true colors.
I knew he'd be like this.
Does he think he'll be able to find anything about the past?
There's no way that will happen.
So everything Jong Min told you was true?
Yes, Eun Seok also heard everything.
He even took the photos.
There are photos?
Of course.
I took photos of them so I could ask about them...
to Ms. Wang later on.
Look.
- Let me see. - Here.
My goodness, are you saying...
this is Jenny when she was little?
They couldn't separate her from her mother...
due to lack of evidence.
Anyway, she must've been a horrible mother.
Why is everything about her so unusual?
Eun Seok went home looking pale.
But why aren't there any photos of her face?
Ms. Wang took all the photos that showed Jenny's face.
She wouldn't allow them to keep a record of Jenny's face.
My goodness, how peculiar.
Why does she have such a complicated past?
I know, right?
That's all you're going to have for dinner?
Yes, I'm actually having a pretty hearty meal thanks to you.
You call this a hearty meal?
Yes.
What do you usually eat?
I go home...
and drink a multigrain shake or some boiled eggs.
That's unbelievable. I can't even go to sleep when I'm hungry.
Can you sleep?
Yes, I'm used to it.
You own multiple hotels, so I thought you'd live in luxury...
and eat all sorts of good food.
But I eat way better than you.
I always have a proper dinner when I go home.
I used to eat like that too.
When is that? Back when you were with Jenny?
Yes.
You need to stop talking about her. I think I've heard enough.
I'll stop once we're done with her book.
Then I'll do my best to finish it as fast as possible.
We're going to write a series of books about her.
You'd better be prepared. You have a lot of work ahead of you.
Jenny will continue to grow as a designer.
Jenny may be really successful,
but no one reads these kinds of books.
So what?
I'll read the book and tell Jenny to read it too.
I'll also give them out to people who love Jenny.
There are so many things I can do with her book.
Do you know you become really chatty every time you talk about Jenny?
I'm only doing this to make fun of you...
because you always get so startled.
Jenny's a Scorpio.
A lot of artists are Scorpios.
They're known to be unique, bright, and cheerful.
I thought Jenny was a Cancer. Wasn't she born in July?
Scorpios are born in November.
I know that because Ma Eum's a Scorpio.
Oh, really? I guess I was mistaken.
Come on. You never make a mistake when it comes to Jenny.
I'm sorry. I was trying so hard to tease you,
so I must've said whatever that came to my mind.
You should finish your food.
Okay.
What's for dinner?
It's salmon steak.
It looks pretty nice. Aren't you going to eat?
I'll eat with Jenny.
You'll need to hear an honest review to improve your cooking skills.
You should try some.
Why is it so salty?
What? I only added a little bit of salt and pepper.
You seem to know how to make things look nice.
But you never get the seasoning right.
Then...
Fix me another plate. I can't eat this.
Okay.
I'm home. Were you guys eating?
I asked him to cook again because the seasoning wasn't right.
What did my mom say this time?
- I guess it was a bit too salty. - What?
My gosh, the dish looks so nice and pretty.
Did you really do this on your own?
Yes.
Let me try a bite.
It's really good.
This is delicious. Why does she think it's salty?
I'll eat this.
Go wash your hands first. I'll cook another one for Mother.
Okay.
Mom, it must be hard for you to nitpick about something...
that's actually really delicious.
The plating was nice, and it tasted really good.
You probably think everything he cooks is nice.
Why wouldn't you like something your husband cooked?
You can be mean to your daughter and son-in-law,
but it'll only backfire on you when you grow old.
Don't be so mean like that.
Are you worried about my future?
Yes, of course. Eun Seok may be a saint right now,
but what if he refuses to live with you later on?
A saint, my foot.
I'll turn him into just the opposite.
That's exactly what I want.
It'd be even better if he asks for a divorce as well.
My gosh, I'll do it.
My goodness, it's okay. Just let me do it.
I don't even do this every day.
Then can you taste the braised fish? I'll do the rest.
Okay. Song Ah will be home soon.
Okay.
How does it taste?
It tastes even better now.
His food tastes better every day.
It's better.
- Eat up, Jenny. - Okay.
It's so delicious.
Something must've happened to your palate...
after you got married. You keep saying everything's delicious.
If this doesn't taste nice, you're the one with a weird palate.
Don't compliment him so much.
He still has a long way to go.
I'm home.
Hey, Ma Eum.
You won't even notice a plane flying past you...
when you're studying.
How can you concentrate so well?
Hey, Mom. When did you come?
Just now.
I wanted to finish everything before you came.
I guess I was too focused.
Is that so?
I'm all done now.
What if you really get into SNU?
If that's going to make you happy, I'd love to go there.
If you actually get into SNU, I should wear a badge.
It'll say, "I'm the mother of an SNU student".
Really?
Of course. I'll wear that badge every single day.
Then I guess I should really go there.
Don't feel so pressured though.
It's always more important to stay healthy.
Don't worry. She'll never be weak.
Ma Eum eats so well.
You're right.
Let's all wash our hands so we can eat.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Jenny)
Who was that girl in the photo?
And why was my name written on the envelope?
(President, Ahn Man Su)
He never shows his weaknesses, and he never goes out to have fun.
He lives such a boring life.
He just thinks about Jenny night and day.
Are you done writing about her childhood?
There are some parts I don't like, so I need to edit a few things.
Then how about I read it and give you some comments?
No, I can't show it to anyone yet.
When will I get to read it?
I told you already.
Jenny needs to read this first. Other people can read it...
after she gives me her consent.
Yes, I know. I guess that's why it needs to be perfect.
Keep up the hard work.
I'm going to go home now.
Just a second.
What?
We need to go somewhere.
Where?
I'll let you know once we're there. Just give me 10 minutes.
Okay.
I don't have to work until late anymore.
I'll come home with you so you don't get bullied at home.
I'm not getting bullied. I enjoy doing this.
Thank you.
I saw some weird photos in your drawer.
- What photos? - Photos of a little kid.
That...
Who's the kid in the photo?
I couldn't find a photo of her face.
I only saw her bruised arms and legs.
And why was my name written on the envelope?
I'll tell you in our room.
Okay.
I'm done. Let's go.
Okay.
We're going to head out. Follow us from behind.
Tell me who that kid is.
It's you.
What?
They're photos of me?
Are you serious?
Yes.
I did hear that I used to hang around with gypsies.
But I don't remember getting abused.
I was also shocked.
So I even asked Mother...
What did she say?
She confirmed what happened.
Then I guess it must be true.
I do have a broken memory...
of getting beaten up when I was young,
and I guess that's when it happened.
You remember something?
Yes.
But they're just bits and pieces.
I see.
I'm going to receive my treatments really diligently...
so I can remember what happened back then.
I can't wait to find out who did that to me.
I was so angry on my way home.
I also felt the same way when I saw the photos.
By the way, who gave you those photos?
To be honest,
I got them from my aunt.
Your aunt?
What is this place?
What's that?
I'll keep this in here.
(Triple Hotel Tax Payment)
The safe contains every single file that's very important to me.
Why are you showing me this?
If something happens to me,
I want you to show everything that's in the safe...
to Oh Eun Seok or Lee Dong Joo.
What?
Nothing should happen to you.
I'm making sure just in case.
I might get into another car accident.
We never know what might happen.
These are the things I cherish and need to reveal to the world.
I can't let them disappear with me.
Does that mean something like that could happen?
Yes, if something happens to me,
I want you to stay calm, and don't get frightened.
I'll set the password to your birthday.
Okay.
I can do what you asked me to do,
but please make sure nothing happens to you.
Don't worry. I'm just preparing for the worst.
Okay.
I can't believe your aunt saw all those photos.
What should we do?
She was very worried.
And your mother wants you to stop seeing a doctor.
She told me you can ask her instead.
What do you think?
No, I don't want to do that.
I don't want to hear my stories from her.
I've already asked her numerous times,
but the answers she gave me never really satisfied me.
I'm going to remember my past...
so I can finally get rid of...
the uncomfortable memories that sometimes pop into my head.
Okay, I agree with you.
How is it that you're eating all the time?
Wait until you get pregnant. You're hungry all the time.
I'm glad you don't have morning sickness.
My friend couldn't eat anything because of that.
The baby takes after me. It's not fussy at all.
But what if my mom comes out?
Didn't I warn you already?
I thought about it long and hard.
I don't want to live like that. I'm not a monster.
My baby likes it downstairs.
I think the baby will be successful. It likes places that are spacious.
Oh, is that what you think?
This is really good. You should try some.
I'm full.
Didn't I tell you to stay out of my sight?
Why can't you just ignore me?
You could pretend like I'm not here.
How can I do that when you're right here?
I'm not in prison.
I don't want to be locked up upstairs.
Who said I was going to lock you up?
I just want you to stay out of my sight when I'm home.
What's going on?
Ae Young, what are you doing here?
Get rid of her.
Didn't I tell you to keep her out of my sight?
Mother, you keep telling him to get rid of me.
But I'm not an object, you know. I'm a human being.
And I'm not alone. I have a baby inside of me.
The way you're treating us is a defamation of character...
and an act of child abuse.
Please don't ever say, "Get rid of her"...
in front of me again.
That was quite a punch.
Mom, your future daughter-in-law isn't an easy person to deal with.
She's not my future daughter-in-law.
She's just really sensitive.
Her hormones are all over the place.
The doctor even told me that she's going to be sensitive for a while.
She's always upstairs when you're home.
So imagine how upset she must've felt.
She's usually very active,
so she's already sad that she can't go anywhere because she's pregnant.
What did you just say?
Who asked her to stay home?
Tell her to spend time outside...
and come home as late as possible.
Mom, you can't tell a pregnant woman to stay out until late.
Don't be so harsh on her.
I really don't want to see her!
Why do I have to feel so suffocated in my own house?
Why?
Will you please just move out with her?
Go ahead and have the baby. You're free to get married too.
I'll just forget that I had a son.
Mom, that's a great idea.
Let's get rid of Young Man...
and so we can finally live a quiet life.
Will you stay still?
Young Man, stop being so stubborn.
You really should think about what she just said.
Let's be honest. Ae Young's being really rude.
I'm really worried that Mom might collapse at this rate.
I know what you mean,
but please be considerate just this once.
Forget it.
I don't want to see you when I'm home either.
Stay upstairs with her in your room.
Just stay there, and don't move an inch!
Mom, that's totally absurd.
My gosh, I have a headache.
She keeps making me feel guilty by saying I'm abusing her baby.
I can't even be that mean to her because she's pregnant.
She makes me so angry.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm pregnant with her grandson.
The least she can do is treat me like a decent human being.
Ae Young.
Hey, Ae Young.
How about we take a step back in order to take two steps forward?
What? A step back?
What's that supposed to mean?
There's a really classic studio near our house.
That place is really nice and luxurious.
How about you live there?
Are you going to live there too?
No, I can't do that.
The moment I start a family with you, I'll lose everything.
My mom already wants to get rid of me from the family tree.
I'm not going to leave.
If I run away, we'll be doomed.
What?
The baby and I need a family, not our own place to stay.
You can leave if you want.
You fight with my mom all the time. Are you really okay with that?
I can deal with this.
And I'm not stressed at all. I'm just pretending to be stressed.
- What? - I'm really happy these days.
Whenever I open the door, I'm greeted by a huge family.
There's your mother, grandfather, Eun Ji, and you.
On top of that, there's even a housekeeper who cooks for us.
This is a dream come true.
What are you talking about?
Let me make myself clear.
Don't even think of kicking me out of the house.
I'm home.
- Hey, you're home. - Hi.
Aunt Kyung In.
What's going on?
It looks like you guys were all waiting for me.
Yes, we were.
How can I go to sleep when you're not home?
I'm sorry. But I came fairly early today.
Kyung In, did you eat?
Yes, I ate with Mr. Ahn.
You're spending an awful lot of time with him these days.
What are you talking about? We're just working together.
You might grow on each other soon.
I know, right? He's a really nice guy.
I'm sure you guys take breaks in between.
What do you guys talk about then?
I can't believe Ma Eum just asked her that.
I know. But I'm also quite curious.
Well...
The lights that remind me of the past
Make me shed tears tonight
We play the guitar and sing together.
- My gosh. - What?
Why are you guys so startled?
It's just so unexpected.
That's so romantic.
I can't picture you singing and playing the guitar.
Kyung In sings pretty well.
Does Man Su also sing in front of you?
Yes.
He even played the piano a few days ago. But it wasn't in front of me.
- My gosh. - Really?
He has a lot of sides to him that are quite unexpected.
He played the piano and sang in front of Ms. Wang.
What?
I thought they really hated each other.
I guess it's not that bad.
No, it really isn't. The two of them seem like...
they hate each other, but they also have this strong connection.
It's really weird.
I think I understand. They spent so much time together,
so it's probably a love-hate relationship.
I thought you'd just be working, but you even sing songs together.
It sounds quite fun.
Yes, it's fun.
- Hey, Eun Seok. - I wanted to report this yesterday.
I was a little busy yesterday.
Mr. Lee found out who the guy in the sketch is.
He found out really quickly.
So tell me. What kind of person is he?
He used to be a cop.
What? A cop?
He worked in the Eastern Police Station for seven years?
I can't believe he used to be a cop.
He moved to the Philippines,
and he travels to Korea often to do business.
Where is he right now?
We can't do anything if he's in the Philippines.
We found a record saying he recently came to Korea.
Really?
We're looking into his acquaintances...
and his whereabouts in Korea.
So I'm sure we'll find him soon.
I see.
(The meaning of the rose)
(Black roses like the ones in the photo aren't created naturally.)
Have you ever seen this blog?
"Black Rose"?
The blogger's ID is "Rose Killer".
I've never seen this before.
I thought it was a blog about flowers at first.
But I found materials regarding the Black Rose.
(The Black Rose Disappears After Cops Fail to Arrest Her)
This is interesting. I thought I searched everything on the web.
But I never came across this blog.
I think it was hard to notice because it's just someone's blog.
The blogger started uploading posts starting from 2005.
That's 14 years ago.
The blogger was quite active for about five years.
You're right.
I guess there's someone else who's interested in the Black Rose.
I've been sending online notes to this blogger for a few days now.
But I haven't gotten any replies.
Do you think it could be a detective who was once after the Black Rose?
If that's the case, he's probably dead now.
I guess you're right.
Hey, Grandpa.
Hey, Eun Seok. The cops found the hit-and-run driver.
What? Where?
I thought you were dead, but I guess I was wrong.
I'm going crazy these days...
because you made a total mess of things.
All I did was wire money to our boss.
Didn't you also ask me...
to get rid of Ahn Man Su for you?
It's not like you succeeded.
He's still alive right now.
And thanks to that, I ended up losing a huge amount of money.
My composite sketch is all over the place.
Now, a guy named Oh Eun Seok is going around...
visiting all the police stations...
and asking about my past.
I'm sure he already found out that I used to be a cop.
Well, brace yourself.
Didn't you know that this was going to happen one day?
I don't mind...
taking responsibility for everything.
But if you do anything to harm our boss, you'll be done for.
What do I need to do?
They already found out about the illegal bankbooks.
If Man Su leaks any of the statements,
we'll all be doomed.
He won't do that.
For some unknown reason, he just keeps it to himself.
He hasn't told anything...
to Jenny or my son-in-law about my past.
Okay, fine. This is your last mission.
I want you to get rid of all the evidence he has.
Do everything you can to convince him.
Get rid of everything he has on us.
If you fail,
I'll kill Man Su...
with my own two hands.
And...
I'll kill you too.
What did you say?
(Shady Mom-in-law)
"The same date. The same location."
"The Black Rose"?
If I reveal this, everything will be over.
I'll get rid of everyone one at a time.
It's the same remittance advice as the one that got ripped.
This account number is the same bank account that Kyung Soo found.
Go back to that moment you're most curious about.
Do you remember what you saw last?
Yes.
Who was it? Who was standing in front of you?
