Was there any progress with the investigation today?
Yes.
Really?
Nothing's been confirmed though.
I see.
How was the visit to Ma Eum's school?
Yes.
Did she get the highest score in class?
What's so important about that? You should wash up and come on out.
Song... Song Ah.
My gosh, I've been dying to find out all day.
How did the talk go with Ma Eum's homeroom teacher?
Did she get the highest score?
I also want to know, but she won't tell me.
I won the Science Fiction Drawing Contest.
She's right.
Her homeroom teacher kept complimenting on...
Ma Eum's amazing imagination and told me that she draws so well.
It made me feel so proud and happy.
She wins an award for that contest every year.
Ma Eum always wins most of the drawing contest awards.
Really?
People shouldn't be so greedy.
She won an award for the drawing contest,
so she should let someone else get the highest score.
So she yielded and let someone else become the top student?
Mom won't tell me.
Yes, the top student turned out to be someone else.
Ma Eum, you did a great job.
I'm so proud that you yielded that spot to someone else.
Imagine being the best drawer who's also a top student.
My gosh, that's so suffocating.
I don't like it when someone's too perfect.
I don't mind that she didn't get the highest score,
but I'm just wondering if she's one of the top students.
Well...
I heard that her grades will gradually get better.
It didn't turn out to be as good as we expected.
How did she rank in her class?
There's no rank.
What?
Ma Eum's school always ranks their students.
My goodness, come on.
That's probably not even accurate. They're just elementary school kids.
Don't be interested in that kind of stuff.
What's important is that she enjoys studying...
and that she's trying hard to improve.
Exactly.
Ma Eum apparently concentrates very well in class,
gets along with her friends, and is very well-mannered.
Her teacher told me she's doing great in school.
Mom!
All the other kids know their rank.
Why won't you tell me?
Did I do really bad on the test?
You keep talking about something else.
By any chance, did I get the lowest score?
Is that what happened?
No, you didn't get the lowest score.
My gosh.
Are you upset because I got the lowest score?
I really tried my best.
I really wanted to get the highest score!
Oh, gosh.
Ma Eum, wait. Ma Eum.
My gosh, I can't believe this.
Come on, Song Ah.
Just tell me the truth.
You're making me feel so worried.
Okay, fine. Ma Eum got the lowest score.
Are you happy now?
My goodness.
Ma Eum.
Why are you crying? Don't cry.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I already know everything.
Ma Eum.
I'm sorry I didn't help.
I'll help you out from now on.
I'll do your homework with you...
and help you understand the stuff you learn in school.
So don't worry too much, okay?
Okay, Mom.
Ma Eum, don't cry. It's okay.
Let's eat now.
Stop crying.
Okay.
Come here.
Eat up, Mother.
Aren't you going to eat?
I need to go pick up Jenny.
I'll eat with her.
Why is she still at the office?
She's being so dramatic about working so hard.
Mother, by any chance...
Yes? What is it?
Did Jenny ever grow up with a sibling?
What are you talking about?
I just got curious.
I wondered if you ever thought of having another child.
Have you lost your mind or something?
Why do you keep asking me weird questions?
I just got curious. That's all.
You're so lame. Just hurry up and bring Jenny home.
Okay.
"A sibling"?
Who told him that this time?
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 must feel so disturbed right now.
She'll be working with you guys from now on.
You all know her, right? She's Han Jenny.
I was so happy that day.
But now, I've become someone who could ruin the company's reputation.
- Stop it! - How dare you?
- Stop it! - Apologize!
- You're unbelievable. - How could you do that?
- Apologize! - You're a murderer!
How could you do something like that?
You're a murderer!
Get out of the way!
You're no different from her. You're just a hypocrite.
You're both a couple of frauds.
I started working here because of you.
Jenny.
Eun Seok.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Why did you come? I could've just taken a cab.
I thought we could go on a date.
We should go home and eat.
Let's eat outside tonight.
Okay, let's do that.
Have some fruit.
- Dad, have some tea. - Okay, thanks.
By the way, where's Ae Young?
She fell asleep early because she felt tired.
She's still sleeping.
Are you sure she's not sick?
She doesn't get sick that easily. You don't need to worry.
But still, she's pregnant. You should take good care of her.
Did you hear that?
Your mother is very kind-hearted.
She sacrificed...
her entire life just for her kids. Do you know that?
Yes, of course.
Grandpa's right.
Let's be honest. She doesn't like Ae Young one bit.
But she's being really kind...
because she's pregnant with your baby.
Yes, I know that.
Mom.
I'll be a filial son for the rest of your life.
You can trust me.
Okay. What's done is done, so don't ever cheat again.
Make sure you become a family-oriented man, okay?
Yes, I'm doing great already.
She threw the blankets off like a little kid.
What's this?
(Meat. Meat. Meat. Why can't I stop thinking about meat?)
Meat. Meat. Meat.
Why can't I stop thinking about meat?
I really want to eat meat.
I want to eat meat that's packed with meat juice.
I wonder if the babies are asking me to eat meat.
My family rarely buys meat because we don't really enjoy it.
I guess that's why she wrote that she wants to eat meat.
I miss my mom.
If I lived with her,
we would've bought stuff for the baby together.
I wonder if she also had a hard time when she was pregnant with me.
Of course, she misses her mom.
When a woman becomes pregnant,
she can't help but miss her mother.
It's been a while since we've been on a date like this.
We should've spent more time together as newlyweds.
You've really gone through a lot after we got married.
Because of a girl like me, you're living with your mother-in-law.
A girl like you? What are you talking about?
If your parents were alive,
they never would've let you live with your mother-in-law.
But my mom practically forced you.
Don't say that. I'm fine.
By the way, why did you look so distressed back at the office?
I...
I imagined leaving the Design Team.
And just the thought of it made me feel so sad.
Why would you leave the Design Team?
You're the head designer.
I'm...
going to quit.
I'm going to hand in my resignation letter...
and go on a date with my mom tomorrow.
A resignation letter?
Why don't you just take a few days off and go on a trip?
I already gave it a lot of thought.
It's because I want to take a break.
Are you exhausted because of work?
Yes, it's tiring.
We did start working right away after we got married...
instead of going on a honeymoon.
You know what? You really should take a few days off.
You can go somewhere with your mother if you want.
But as for the resignation letter,
let's think about it once you come back.
Okay, I'll leave right after I organize some stuff...
tomorrow morning.
You should eat too. Don't just drink.
What? You want to go on a date with me?
Jenny, I'm so glad you came up with that idea.
I've been so stressed out lately, and it was driving me crazy.
I'll buy you some new clothes. Let's meet outside.
We can go shopping, eat delicious food,
and get some fresh air.
Okay, Jenny.
Let's forget about all the serious stuff...
and start enjoying our lives.
You just need to make up your mind.
That way, Eun Seok will stop getting any funny ideas.
- Here you go. - Let me see.
Isn't it amazing?
A rooftop garden?
Why haven't I thought of this?
It's good for the environment.
It decreases the temperature of the building during the summer.
and increases it during the winter.
It can also be used as a rest area for the employees.
It'll be really useful.
You also go to the rooftop once in a while.
Yes, of course.
I can see the entire city from up there.
It's a great place to go whenever you feel frustrated.
Once this gets built, can you carve my name...
somewhere in the garden for coming up with the idea?
Okay, sure. I'll put up a plaque that says,
"Designed by Oh Ae Ri".
Okay.
When should we start the construction?
I heard it'll only take about a week to finish,
so you can call them whenever you want.
Okay, great.
- Great job. - Thanks.
Mr. Ahn.
- We meet again. - Yes.
Did you swim?
Did you do yoga?
Yes.
Is something bothering you?
Pardon?
You told me that yoga...
helps you put your mind at rest.
So I thought you started the day with yoga...
because something was bothering you.
I just do it because I like it.
When I do yoga, I'm able to focus without getting distracted.
It's the same with swimming.
When you're floating on water,
your mind becomes blank, and it relieves your stress.
I'm glad you like to exercise.
Yes, of course. People should exercise.
Once I get married,
I even want to participate in a triathlon with my husband.
A married couple who works hard...
but also physically challenges themselves...
whenever they have free time.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
Come to think of it, Jenny doesn't seem really good at sports.
She's very good at sports.
She's good at playing tennis and running.
She even completed a marathon once.
Oh, really?
I see. I didn't know that.
She's better than most athletes.
I was really startled.
The reason I work out so hard...
is because I was motivated by Jenny.
Come to think of it, I also ran a marathon with her five years ago.
What is his problem?
I feel like I've already experienced this before.
All his thoughts lead to Jenny.
Yes, that's what it is.
Even if he's talking to me, he'll eventually...
start talking about Jenny.
Everything just leads to Jenny. I get it now.
This is so serious.
Where are you going to go with Mother?
I haven't really thought of it.
I'm just planning to go wherever.
Okay, I hope you have fun.
(President, Ahn Man Su)
Man Su.
Please do me a favor.
I'm begging you.
Please let me tell her that myself...
at the right time. Please.
No one will ever find out...
that Jenny isn't my daughter as long as you stay quiet.
Can you help me...
find my daughter?
If you help me,
I feel like I might really be able to find her.
Actually, to be honest,
I feel like...
you might even know...
my daughter, Kyung Ah.
Let's see.
Man Su.
What brings you here at this hour?
Didn't you eat breakfast?
I was just passing by and thought I'd come inside to say hello.
- Sit down. - Okay.
This is for you.
You should try it out.
You didn't have to bring me this.
Eat this and cheer up.
My goodness.
Thank you.
Let me try one.
Don't forget to take it every day.
Okay.
Did you ask Ms. Wang what she was doing...
at Deputy Kang's office yesterday?
She just gave me a weird excuse.
Really?
I'm starting to get a bad feeling.
Are you saying there might be more to their relationship?
Yes, I really think we should look into it.
Tell me what I can help you with.
I'd like to do a background check on my mother-in-law first.
Do you know anyone who can do that for us?
That won't be hard.
Song Ah.
About the design project for next spring...
Yes?
I think you'll need to be the head designer for that.
Me?
That's absurd.
I'm a little busy with something else.
What is it?
What could possibly be more important than this?
Please do me a favor.
I really need you to take my place.
I'll tell Eun Seok about it.
I'd be honored.
But I really don't think it's right. It's a huge project.
I'm sure you'll do a great job.
I already gave it a lot of thought.
Thank you for this.
She was so eager about this project last weekend.
What's with her all of a sudden?
It's like she's planning to leave somewhere far away.
Jenny, I want to wear something you designed.
Okay.
Let's wear matching outfits.
Sure.
I'll wear everything you pick out for me.
Here. You'll look nice in these. Let's see you wear them.
Okay.
How do I look?
I like it.
It's nice.
I don't need one since I already have one at home.
- We'll take this. - Okay.
Song Ah.
Jenny seems really weird these days.
I feel like she's planning to quit soon.
Did you really not know anything?
I knew something was going on but...
You're so mean.
She always looked so uneasy every time I saw her at work.
Was it that bad?
Yes.
She's been working really hard on next year's project.
But she suddenly asked me to be in charge of it.
I think it's pretty serious. I'm starting to get really worried.
I'll talk about it with Jenny.
Okay.
The Design Team can't afford to lose her.
Yes, I know.
Please make sure you talk to her.
It's nice that we're on a date. I really feel so happy.
Let's have fun and sleep at a hotel.
Then we can go back home.
Okay. What made you think of doing something like this?
We used to hold hands and travel to so many different places.
It reminds me of back then. The lake is also really beautiful.
It would've been nice...
if my mom was just someone normal.
Why did she have to live such a difficult life?
What made her become a pickpocket and a murderer?
What led her to walk down that path?
She was so young back then.
I want to hate her,
but I can't...
because she's my mom.
Come on, Jenny.
Okay.
I can't believe you took me out on a date.
You're always in the restaurant.
You need to walk under the sun like this...
in order to stay healthy.
It's hard because I'm always busy working at the restaurant.
Plus, I have no one to walk with.
Should I come and walk with you from time to time?
My goodness, what an honor.
I'm sure you're too busy to make time for me.
I'll be able to take a break thanks to you.
This is nice.
Yes, it's nice.
The autumn sunshine is beautiful.
By the way, I haven't seen Jenny in a long time.
Have you seen her lately?
Yes, I met her yesterday to talk about something.
Do you still like her that much?
You should get to your senses.
Look at you.
You instantly smile the moment you hear her name.
My gosh.
She always protected and stayed by my horrible mother.
So I'm always grateful to her.
But I can't tell anyone about that.
Ms. Ji.
Thank you.
For what?
I just wanted to thank you.
My gosh, how lame.
There's not much time left...
until you start to resent...
and hate me, Ms. Ji.
We did a background check on Ms. Wang.
We couldn't find a lot of the recent stuff...
because she's been living abroad for a long time.
But we did find a few unusual stuff.
What's that?
She was an unregistered citizen for 20 years.
She registered her birth when she turned 20.
She registered her birth when she turned 20?
Do people do that?
Sometimes.
(Identity Information)
She even registered her birth all by herself...
because she didn't have a family.
And the district police station stood guarantee.
Do you know why? Was she an orphan?
If she was in an orphanage,
they would've registered her birth.
This just means...
she lived her life wandering around...
because she didn't have a house.
She didn't even have a place to sleep?
People who aren't registered don't exist on paper.
So no one would know even if they die somewhere.
I guess she came up with her own first and last name.
Even her birthday.
This is unbelievable.
Ms. Wang wasn't registered on paper,
so she probably didn't receive any education either.
Yes, you're probably right.
I guess she really had no one around her...
seeing that Western Police Station stood guarantee for her.
And there's one more thing.
She registered Jenny's birth...
as a single mother when Jenny was five years old.
My mother-in-law is really starting to scare me.
I wonder how many more surprises are waiting for me.
What worries me the most is her relationship with Deputy Kang.
I really hope our hunch is wrong.
It needs to be wrong.
If it's not...
We still need to check.
It's too early to jump to conclusions.
Okay.
The wind is cold.
Yes, it'll soon turn into winter.
Jenny, aren't you cold as well?
You have weak tonsils.
You'll catch a cold if you keep your neck cold.
Okay.
You have something to tell me, don't you?
(Shady Mom-in-law)
Tomorrow, Eun Seok will find out...
who you really are. Will you be okay?
Do you know what scares me the most?
It's living in a world without you.
Regardless of how horrible I may be, please don't ever abandon me.
- Do you know who the Black Rose is? - Yes.
Who is the Black Rose?
You probably would've already guessed by now.
- Then... - Yes, it's her.
