(Office of Asian Food For The Hungry Protection)
Hey.
I don't have time this weekend.
Can you go on behalf of me?
Yes, once you get there,
just order 10 fried chickens for them...
since they really love fried chicken.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, gosh.
Who are you?
Come here.
You little jerk.
Darn it.
Hey, stop right there!
Come here.
Hey, who are you?
- Let's go, sir. - Hey!
What happened?
I went inside Deputy Kang's office.
- What? - That guy you just saw...
was talking about visiting Choi Yeon Ho.
Really?
Let's go back to the office and talk about what happened.
Okay, but you should wipe off the blood on your face first.
I asked Eun Seok about Deputy Kang Chi Su.
What did he say?
He knew him very well.
I see.
He was the cop...
that terminated the Black Rose case...
25 years ago.
Were you also aware of that?
I assumed he and Ms. Wang would have a special relationship.
He was also close with Eun Seok's grandfather.
So up until recently, they often ate and had tea together.
He really is a scary person.
Thanks to him, my mom was able to stay safe for 25 years.
That's not all. In order to protect themselves...
and the people around them,
they harmed so many innocent people.
My best friend, Lucky. Park Kyung Soo.
The unknown detective.
And even myself.
I really enjoyed today's lunch. The coffee was nice too.
- We should meet up more often. - Yes, we should.
- Let's meet again soon. - Okay.
Isn't that Mr. Ahn?
You guys can go first.
I'm going to say hello to an acquaintance.
- Okay. - See you.
- Bye. - Bye.
I wonder whom he's with.
Isn't that Jenny?
She's meeting him again?
Once Eun Seok finds out about Ms. Wang,
his family will eventually hear everything as well.
Are you ready to face that?
Yes, I'm ready.
If I'm lucky, Eun Seok might forgive me.
But his family...
won't be able to do that.
If his aunt finds out,
she'll make us get a divorce and possibly even beat me to death.
Jenny.
Aunt.
Hello.
Hi.
Mr. Ahn, you seem to meet up with Jenny very often these days.
Oh, yes.
I had something to discuss with her.
Are you done now?
Yes, we're done.
I need to talk to Jenny now.
Okay, then. Jenny, I'll be off.
I'll see you.
Okay, bye.
I wonder if she's going to get scolded again for meeting him.
She's already going through a lot.
What do you think you're doing?
- Pardon? - I heard you went straight...
to Mr. Ahn's office once we finished the memorial service yesterday.
Yes.
Who in the world goes around meeting their ex-fiance?
Normally, people feel uncomfortable...
about running into their exes.
But you met him again today and drank tea together?
Do you have that much to talk about?
Did you guys create a private chat room or something?
Well...
We met up because there was something we had to discuss.
I hope you don't misunderstand anything.
You don't want me to misunderstand anything? You're unbelievable.
Anyone in my shoes would misunderstand this situation.
Are you bored with Eun Seok already?
No, that's not true.
Don't lie to me.
You acted like your love was so pure...
and caused a huge scene to get married.
But you're already looking at other guys?
On top of that, you even met up with your ex-fiance.
What do you think you're doing?
If it made you uncomfortable, I'll be more careful from now on.
You need to do a lot more than be just careful.
You should never contact him again.
Is that so hard for you to understand?
Okay, I won't call him again.
If I ever catch you contacting him one more time,
I'll start off by dealing with Ahn Man Su first.
You'd better get your act straight.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Sir.
Why are you so quiet?
It was very unexpected to see the two of them together.
Didn't it surprise you?
I was so surprised that I can't seem to get a grasp of the situation.
I think I need to think about how I'm going to handle this.
Is it okay if I look into Deputy Kang...
and Ms. Wang's relationship?
No, can you give me some time?
Let me look into it first.
I'll let you know if I need any help.
Let me say something out of concern.
You can't be easy on her just because she's your mother-in-law.
You already saw the building, right?
Yes.
He's a very cunning and sly person.
The fact that a guy like him is closely acquainted with Ms. Wang...
is a huge deal.
I was never interested in my mother-in-law's surroundings.
But I guess...
I should be a bit more interested.
Yes, I agree.
You should go to your office and get your wound treated first.
Okay.
Eun Seok.
What's wrong with your face?
What happened?
He injured himself. Can you treat his wound?
Okay.
- I'll be off now. - Okay.
Where did you get hurt like this?
- I'm okay. - Shouldn't you go to a hospital?
I just need to apply some ointment on it.
This is so upsetting.
I can't believe you got beaten up like a little kid.
Who did this to you?
- The Black Rose. - What?
The Black Rose?
I went to find the Black Rose.
Where did you go to find her?
Did you find her?
No.
I ended up seeing someone else.
To be honest, I saw your mother there.
You make me feel so worried.
We should hurry up and catch the Black Rose.
This is going to bleed us dry.
You told me you'll catch her for me.
Yes.
I'll do that. I'll catch her for you.
Really?
Yes.
I'll catch her no matter what...
so that you won't ever get injured again.
So give me some time.
Do you...
really mean that?
Yes.
Who did this to you?
The Black Rose.
I went to find the Black Rose.
It's a tranquilizer that doesn't have any side effects.
Whenever you feel frustrated...
or severely frightened,
take half a pill.
Jenny, are you sick?
No, I'm just a little suffocated.
I think the food I had for lunch gave me an upset stomach.
Should I prick your thumb for you? That really works well.
It's okay, Song Ah.
Every time I look at you these days,
I feel worried because it seems like you're going through something.
Everything's fine. Don't worry.
My mom's also really worried.
We should go see her today.
It's been a while since I last saw her.
I was just so busy.
Let's go see her together.
Okay.
Ever since she didn't come to the team dinner,
something doesn't feel right about her.
I wonder what's going on.
My gosh.
I wonder if Jenny's okay these days.
It's been a while since she last came.
(CEO, Oh Eun Seok)
Do you happen to know a cop named Kang Chi Su?
How do you know him?
I heard about him by coincidence. Do you know him?
Then what about Kang Chi Su?
Why did you keep wiring him money?
I wonder how much Jenny knows.
(Strategy Team Manager, Lee Dong Joo)
Something doesn't feel right.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes?
Do you require our employees to write down...
the names of their family members when they start working here?
Yes, of course. We also ask them for the related materials.
Do you need someone's file?
Can you print out Jenny's materials for me?
Okay, I will.
What? They met again today?
Yes.
I was so startled, and I couldn't calm down.
So I came running here.
I scolded Jenny once and for all.
She'll be more careful when she meets him again.
You should use this chance to run into him often at the pool.
Try your best to win his heart.
But what if I find out that he's not even planning to move on...
because he's still in love with Jenny?
Then I really won't stand still.
I'm only being careful right now...
because he might become my son-in-law.
But if it turns out...
he's still lingering around Jenny because he still loves her,
I'll humiliate him and teach him a lesson.
I like your plan, Mom.
Exactly.
So you should do what you can to win his heart.
But if he still doesn't come around,
I'll no longer need to be careful or treat him with respect.
Okay, just give me one month.
I'll do my best to open his heart.
Yes, do what you can to seduce him...
so that he stops meeting up with a married woman.
Okay, I'll do that.
My gosh, come on.
I know I'm on the verge of becoming a father for twins.
But I can't give up on maintaining my style.
On top of that, I like that woman.
Okay.
Bravo.
I think we should ask them...
to move in with us for at least a couple of months.
Ms. Wang won't allow that. They just got married.
They're married already.
We don't need to worry about Ms. Wang anymore.
Jenny takes after her mother a lot.
She grew up with no discipline.
I'm the only person who can educate her properly.
So if I ever ask them to move in, act like you don't know about it.
Okay, fine. Plus, I'd love to have them live with us.
Try your best to have them move in with us...
without starting a fight with Jenny's mother.
Okay.
Here are the stuff Jenny handed in as she joined the company.
It includes the family register.
Okay.
And this is something Kyung Soo found a long time ago.
This is where Ms. Wang used to live back when she lived in Korea.
How did he find this?
I guess Kyung Soo knew what he was doing.
I thought it'd be useless.
But I changed my mind after what we saw today.
This is exactly what I wanted to know.
This is great.
Hello, I'm Ma Eum's mother.
Oh, hello. I've always wanted to meet you.
Is Ma Eum doing well at school?
Yes, she's become very bright and cheerful these days.
And she's very eager about school.
She makes me feel so proud.
Ma Eum studies really hard at home.
We all think she might get the highest score in her class.
The highest score?
She studies that hard?
Yes, she told me that her dream is to go to Seoul National University.
She's already studying really hard even though she's young.
So we always tell her...
to take a break and have some fun outside.
I see.
I heard she took a test recently. Did she get good grades?
The thing is, Ma Eum's doing great with everything else,
but her grades aren't very...
Pardon?
Mom.
Ma Eum.
Did I get the highest score?
You came in first place for the science drawing contest.
The drawing contest?
Yes, your teacher told me...
that your imagination is the best in the world.
I'm really proud of you.
What about the test?
The test isn't important. You can do better next time.
On top of that, it's natural for your grades to fluctuate.
How well did I do?
You're in fifth grade. It doesn't matter how well you did.
Plus, I always think of you as number one...
No, you're my VIP. So don't let it bother you so much.
Okay.
You're done with class, right?
Yes.
I'm not done with work yet, so I need to go back to the office.
I'll see you later at home.
Okay, Mom. We should get going.
Okay, let's go.
What?
She came in last?
Yes, she won the drawing contest.
But she got the lowest score.
My goodness.
How could she get the lowest score?
That's really not easy.
And she studied so hard.
I'm so upset.
How am I going to face Dong Joo?
I feel like it's all my fault. I feel so sorry.
How is that your fault?
It's probably because Ma Eum failed to concentrate.
Did you come here because that started to worry you?
Yes, raising a child is hard.
She always seemed to be studying so hard.
But she must've daydreamed a lot...
seeing that she won the drawing contest.
My goodness.
At least she won the contest. Don't worry too much.
Just teach her how to study properly.
Mom, do you think I should start sending her to academies...
and let her receive private tutoring?
Yes, you should talk about it with Dong Joo.
Don't you need to go back to the office?
Oh, right. I was so shocked to hear that Ma Eum came in last place.
And I found myself coming here without even thinking about it.
Hello, sir.
Welcome.
How can I help you?
I'm here to ask you something.
Go ahead.
I heard you lived here for 40 years.
Yes, I've been living here for a very long time.
Then...
do you remember a woman named Wang Soo Jin...
who used to live as a tenant in the basement 34 years ago?
I'm not sure.
34 years ago is a very long time.
It's been about 20 years...
since we got rid of the basement.
- I see. - Wait a minute.
My wife knows more about the tenants.
Honey. Honey.
What do you need?
Remember back when we used to have tenants living in the basement?
That was such a long time ago.
Was there a woman who used to live there?
Yes, there was.
Her name was...
It's Wang Soo Jin.
Yes, it was Wang Soo Jin.
Yes, I remember her now.
Oh, right.
She left as soon as she gave birth.
She gave birth here?
Yes.
We didn't even know she was pregnant...
until she reached the last month of her pregnancy.
She hid her belly so well...
and was always so busy going to places.
But one day, she suddenly went into labor.
I offered to take her to a hospital, but she kept on refusing.
So I helped her give birth myself.
Yes, I remember. But she was so weird.
She disappeared the day she gave birth.
Yes, she just disappeared.
What about her husband?
She didn't have a husband.
Then did that woman give birth to a daughter?
My gosh, what are you talking about? It was a son.
It was a son?
- Are you sure it was a son? - Yes, I'm sure.
Then...
did that woman look similar to this woman in the photo?
My goodness. Yes, it's her.
I can't believe I'm looking at her.
Her facial features haven't changed at all.
She was so pretty.
So you're telling me that she gave birth to a son 34 years ago?
Yes, that's right.
She was the only woman who lived here as a tenant.
All the other tenants were men.
Mother gave birth to a son 34 years ago?
That means Jenny has an older brother.
Mother wasn't even married,
but she gave birth to a son?
Jenny, aren't you going to go home?
I'm going to leave once I'm done with this.
Why are you in such a hurry? We have a lot of time.
There's just something I need to get done.
Jenny.
Is everything okay with you?
Yes.
Don't suffer all by yourself.
If you're going through something, let me know.
I'm really okay. You should go home.
Okay, I'll get going.
Okay.
Are you on your way to see Jenny?
Yes, I'm going to go home with her.
I think she's going to get off work late today.
She's trying to finish something...
that would normally take her three days to finish.
What?
You should take her home.
She doesn't need to work overtime, but she's being stubborn about it.
Okay, thanks.
Jenny, let's go home now.
I'm sorry. I need to finish something.
You should go home first.
Okay.
By the way, did you used to have an older brother?
An older brother?
I grew up as an only child.
Why do you ask that all of a sudden?
It's nothing.
Are you really going to finish that?
Yes.
Then I'll go home first...
and come back to pick you up when you're almost done.
Don't bother. It's such a hassle.
Our house is nearby.
I'll change into something comfortable and come back.
- I'm home. - Welcome back. What about Jenny?
- She'll be home late. - Really?
Why does the CEO's wife have to work so hard?
(Brother)
One of them is your son-in-law, but who's the other one?
(Brother)
He a guy who works with my son-in-law.
They're unbelievable.
Did they come to your office?
They came when you were here.
They searched my office today,
and I think they saw the two of us together.
Just keep that in mind.
He's even doing a background check on me?
Oh, I almost forgot.
I actually went...
to Bangi-dong earlier.
What? Bangi-dong?
Someone I know has a daughter who really likes Jenny's clothes.
And he wanted to give his daughter a gift.
I see.
He wanted to talk about it with me first.
So I went to meet him earlier.
Then why did you say you were home when I called you earlier?
Did I say that?
Yes.
I think it was because I was with someone important...
and didn't feel comfortable talking on the phone for too long.
What kind of person is he?
I'm not sure. I think he's a businessman.
He normally meets me with his wife.
But his wife was busy today,
so he had to come alone.
I see.
But why do you ask me so many questions?
I'm sorry.
Jenny always talks nonsense,
and you're always asking me questions like a kid.
You guys are making me feel so exhausted.
I always knew she was a good liar.
Dad.
Something's weird about my mother-in-law.
I just thought she was sensitive and peculiar.
But I think there's more to her than that.
What if this hunch I have turns out to be true?
What should I do then?
(Shady Mom-in-law)
The more I find out about Mother, the more she starts to scare me.
I'm worried about her relationship with Deputy Kang.
I hope what we think is wrong.
I'm tired.
Can I go on a date with my mom tomorrow?
It would've been nice if my mom was just someone normal.
There's not much time left until you start...
to resent and hate me, Ms. Ji.
