(Episode 53)
I think your dad...
worried about you a lot.
Until the moment he died.
I think he left this because he was worried about you being left alone.
His last means of protecting...
his poor daughter.
There's no need to get angry.
I know why you're mad.
This is because I discarded the original photo of Dong Joo.
Mom,
are you really my mom?
What is it that you truly want?
Do you want me to get divorced and kicked out of the company?
I'll be a divorcee and a single mother.
That's why even though I begged you not to,
you came here to cause trouble.
Trouble? Did you really just say that?
How dare you!
I'm sticking my neck out to protect you.
I'm doing everything I can...
just to put you at the top...
where no one can look down on you again.
I said I don't need any of that.
Just let me live my life.
Your actions...
aren't helping me rise to the top...
but dragging me down to the bottom of the ocean.
I...
can't breathe because of you.
Every day, I'm suffocating.
Sabina,
calm down and let me explain everything.
Dong Joo's father...
left her something before he died.
It's five percent of I and K's shares.
You know how much just five percent is worth.
It's at least a few million dollars.
But Eun Dong Joo...
is running around trying to make it hers.
I came all this way so that we could collect it.
You know very well how difficult...
my life has been.
Even though I was in desperate need of money,
I never touched those shares. Do you know why?
I kept them intact for 30 years...
so that you could collect them all one day.
And now I'm just supposed...
to let Dong Joo have them?
What makes her worthy?
Those shares are yours.
I kept them safe so that you could have them.
That's why you must do everything to collect them.
Mom,
how are those shares mine?
They were given to Dong Joo by her dad.
I don't need them anymore.
They're meant for her, so just let her have them.
I'm done...
desiring what belongs to others.
That's how my life started spiraling down.
I stole Dong Joo's name...
and her life as well.
I won't live like that anymore.
I'll put everything back in its place.
Are you insane?
You probably think that Joon Ki is your golden ticket,
but if your mother-in-law cuts you loose,
then you'll be left with nothing.
These shares are what'll give you power...
and ultimately save your lives.
That's not all.
If Joon Ki doesn't have what it takes,
you can rise above him...
and command this company like his mother one day.
You're competent enough...
so all you need to do is persuade the board of directors.
You'll eventually take the company for yourself.
Does that still not intrigue you?
Listen to me carefully.
The most useless qualities in life...
are one's conscience and guilt.
Those are reserved for the small-minded.
What moves the world are greed and money.
Joon Ki will soon be appointed as CEO.
We should take this opportunity to set sail ourselves too.
So hold on...
to the I and K shares you own...
and everything will be yours someday.
I finally get it.
I finally...
see you for who you are.
Even though...
gold falls from the sky,
it wouldn't be enough to satisfy your greed.
No. I hate this.
I won't live my life like you did,
so...
don't seek me out ever again.
I mean it.
Sabina!
What's happening?
We're in trouble.
I think the police knows what's going on.
What?
You know...
that Lee Sung Wook can't be in the open yet.
What is it?
Pil Seung, we found Lee Sung Wook.
What?
Lee Sung Wook?
Okay, text me the address.
I'll be right there.
Did they find Mid Eum's dad?
It seems so. I should get going.
Wait.
Then...
what will happen to Sabina and Director Choi?
Once Lee Sung Wook makes his statement,
they'll be arrested.
Sabina...
finally turned over a new leaf.
Then have her turn herself in.
That's the best she can do.
I'll see you later.
We need to leave right away.
Am I finally getting out of here?
I'll explain on the way, so let's hurry.
You want me in a wheelchair?
I can walk just fine.
I said there's no time.
Just do as I say.
What?
When I said I was buying lunch,
I meant something nicer than tteobokki.
You'll understand when you're pregnant.
You crave these sorts of things.
I lost my appetite after arguing with my mom.
I'm only having my lunch thanks to you.
Gosh, I'm full. We should clean this up.
Joon Ki won't like the smell.
Here. Let me.
Dong Joo.
Yes? What?
Can you have a seat over here?
I'd like to borrow your lap if that's all right.
I'm suddenly sleepy.
Being pregnant must be exhausting.
Must you ask?
Even my bones are aching due to the change in hormones.
Being like this...
reminds me of the fun we had at Golden Garden.
I'm sure you remember it.
I'm so sorry.
Of course.
I even remember the first day I met you.
You were in shabby clothes,
had wide eyes,
and a sad expression.
Still,
I liked how you were.
You were innocent and less calculative.
It's all thanks to you.
I resented you when you first reappeared in my life.
If you hadn't shown up when you did,
I'd still be living...
as my mother's puppet.
When you have a child of your own,
we'll let our kids play together at Golden Garden...
just like we did.
Sabina,
can I believe that...
you have truly changed?
Of course.
Why?
What is it?
They found...
Lee Sung Wook.
Detective Cha is on his way to get him.
Once Sung Wook talks, everything will be revealed.
Everything?
I know...
what happened that night.
What are you trying to say?
Sabina,
the best course of action for you and Director Choi...
is a confession.
It's the best way to save yourselves.
Dong Joo,
you know very well that I'm pregnant.
How can you even say this to me?
It's why I'm saying this.
You said so yourself...
that you want to be a proud mother.
This is your chance.
Turn yourself in.
You and Joon Ki both.
This isn't something you can run away from.
If you truly want to start over,
then pay for your sins.
Don't tell Joon Ki anything yet.
I'll take responsibility for this on my own.
Where are you going?
You know...
what I'm about to do.
Sabina!
[VIU Ver] MBC E53 'Golden Garden' "Wicked Mother" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Where's Room 501?
It's that way.
5, 4... Over there.
Where's the patient staying here?
Didn't you see him?
He left with his guardian to get himself checked out.
His guardian? Who's that?
Check at the reception. They'll probably be there.
Just a second.
Hello.
Excuse me.
They're at the reception, right?
Who on earth could be his guardian?
It could be Shin Nan Sook...
although I'm not sure how she'd know to come here.
(Hospitalization, Discharge)
Walk.
Get in.
That was close.
What happened?
He just escaped with his guardian.
What?
Darn it.
All right.
Crazy moron.
Who drives like that?
What? Where did he go?
Shin Nan Sook, we meet again.
And here of all places.
Finally, we meet,
Mr. Lee Sung Wook.
There's no doubt that this is a boy.
It's only a dot, so how can you know?
No, I can feel it.
I had a dream about the baby last night.
This huge golden dragon with a pearl in its mouth...
flew from Mount Halla to Mount Baekdu.
Dragons don't have wings. Gosh.
You're interrupting my work, so enough with the nonsense.
Honey, be honest with me.
Doesn't it lighten the mood for you every time I say silly things?
Truly competent women don't care about what their men are capable of.
All they want is a man who can make them laugh.
Your head must be in the clouds or something...
because you're not a funny guy. You're just a mockery.
Nam Hee, come on.
Why? What is it?
Ma'am, I just received...
Detective Cha's call.
Pil Seung's call? Regarding what?
He is escorting Lee Sung Wook back to the station.
And? What will happen?
The only thing they can do is turn themselves in.
They both should turn themselves in?
Sabina already left.
She's going to take full responsibility.
What?
What are you talking about?
Isn't it obvious?
Sabina went to confess all on her own.
Call Joon Ki right away.
He's in the middle of an important meeting.
He's discussing...
the final details of the MOU with the director from Gold Corporation.
That doesn't matter right now.
Call him.
Okay.
According to the consumer survey regarding our product,
its competitiveness...
as well as level of influence and trust...
were proven to be quite high.
We believe that it'll be fairly easy to reach the desired market share.
Let us move on then.
They found Lee Sung Wook. Call me.
See this?
Your CT scan shows signs of a surgery done after...
you suffered a skull fracture.
When?
Probably about 3 to 4 months.
Can we know if it's from a car accident?
I'm afraid not.
It happened too long ago to know what caused it.
If you truly want to start over,
then pay for your sins.
I wasn't in any car accident.
Mr. Lee.
How many times must I tell you this?
There was no accident.
Please think it over.
You suffered a head injury, so maybe you don't remember.
Are you saying I'm insane now?
I'm saying that you were in an accident.
All the evidence points to that.
Just think about it once more.
I'll say this for the last time.
You're right about what happened that night.
I did see the children's mother at the gallery.
So you followed her out.
I wanted to talk to her for Mid Eum's sake.
She's the love of my life who I never forgot about.
And then what happened?
I was trying to get her to talk to me,
but her boyfriend came and drove off with her.
Come on. Just be honest with me.
I don't know what Shin Nan Sook offered you,
but none of this is true!
Fine!
If you're not going to believe me, I'd rather not talk.
All right, fine.
Please calm down...
and we'll start over.
So...
what happened next?
What would you have done?
I just felt so pathetic.
I drank all night.
When I woke up,
I found myself at Han River.
All I wanted to do was die.
It's why I texted my kids one last time.
(Mid Eum, it's your dad. I'm sorry I didn't call you.)
So...
until the next morning after you met Mid Eum's mom,
you were fine.
That's right.
That's when I made a mess of things though.
One's life can easily be taken away.
The bad thoughts I had...
led me to a dangerous decision.
So you weren't in a car accident...
and you hurt your head when you rolled down the stairs on purpose?
Can we please stop this?
It's just awful to even think about it.
Gosh.
Look here.
You said you committed suicide, but no reports came in.
You don't even remember where you were treated.
How on earth am I supposed to believe that?
That's what happened!
Fine.
Let me ask you one more thing.
How did you meet Shin Nan Sook?
My child, I'm sorry.
But this is me making a promise to you.
I promise never to do anything bad ever again.
Also, this is the best way...
to help your father.
Joon Ki?
I'm truly grateful for this,
but you don't need to confess.
What are you talking about?
Your mother handled the situation.
What? How?
I already told you.
I didn't know anything about Lee Sung Wook,
but that Kang Jeong Su called me about him recently.
Regarding what?
Lee Sung Wook asked...
if he could talk to Sabina.
He needed money to pay for his medical bills.
- So you helped him? - What else could I do?
If weird rumors spread,
my innocent Sabina will be put through the wringer.
I had to help him to not make him an enemy.
Then why did you run away today?
Gosh.
I only...
discharged him from the hospital.
Look here, Ms. Shin!
Let her go.
Pil Seung?
You may leave, Ms. Shin.
Is this really the finest the police has to offer?
You made up some ridiculous story...
to arrest someone innocent.
You're being paid off my tax money,
so do your job better.
Listen to me, you piece of garbage.
You probably worked hard to get up here,
but one's drop to the bottom happens instantly.
I'll dig up every dirty secret you have...
and put you behind bars.
Fine.
Do your worst.
I just hope that you're not too late like you were at finding...
the driver who killed your parents.
What...
Let her run her mouth.
Our chance to get her has yet to come.
(Episode 54 will air shortly.)
All right. Good job.
What did Mr. Park say? Will they be arrested?
Lee Sung Wook...
said that there never was a car accident.
So he said...
the condition for the impeachment was dismissed, so it can't be filed.
What does that even mean?
It means there is no case in the first place.
It seems like the police weren't able to get any definite proof.
But there was an accident.
They even said so themselves.
Do you think...
someone could have made a settlement?
Secretary Eun!
Yes, ma'am?
Tell me what you heard from Pil Seung.
What's going on?
It's true that Lee Sung Wook...
hurt his head and had surgery 3 or 4 months ago.
But it seems like someone...
conciliated him.
"Conciliate"?
Who?
Tell me.
I can just ask my lawyer, but it's urgent.
I'll tell you since you're bound to find out.
They think it's one person...
who had surgery done on Lee Sung Wook and hid him.
So who is it?
Sabina's...
mother.
What? Shin Nan Sook again?
How would she know that?
And for what reason?
Wait a minute.
That means Shin Nan Sook...
knew all along that he was alive.
And she still hid it from us...
and used it to threaten us whenever she had to.
Was she there today too?
Yes, sir.
It makes sense now.
This could all be that mother and daughter's plan.
She lied about his death...
just so she could get her daughter married to our son.
That can't be true...
Do you think we would've let her if it weren't for the accident?
No, wait.
Come to think of it, I'm sure Sabina was going to turn herself in...
because she knew this was going to happen.
Ma'am, that's not true.
Sabina sincerely...
How unbelievable.
Completely.
It's just unbelievable.
It truly is.
Now do you get it?
You need me for sure.
I'm still not changing my mind.
I won't see you again.
Let's leave it at that.
Before long, you'll come running back to me.
For sure.
Mid Eum.
You said Daddy would be back. Why isn't he coming?
Why? Are you sleepy?
I'm so sleepy and hungry too.
Just wait a bit more.
Daddy's on his way.
Since we're here like this, it reminds me of when...
the two of us waited for Daddy a long, long time ago.
Right?
You're right.
It was so hot back then.
We waited for Daddy every day back then.
We can do that again now.
Sa Rang, should I carry you on my back again?
All right.
There we go.
Mid Eum.
Sing me the song I like.
Okay.
Brother shark
Daddy shark
Mid Eum!
Sa Rang!
- Daddy! - Daddy!
Goodness.
- Daddy! - Daddy!
- Daddy! - I'm sorry!
Daddy's sorry.
- Daddy! - Daddy!
- Daddy! - Why were you so late?
I'm sorry. Daddy's sorry.
Why did you come here?
You must be tired from searching for Mid Eum's dad all day.
Well...
I felt bad about the kids.
You must be upset.
I should quit this job.
I can't even arrest Shin Nan Sook...
and keep getting betrayed.
Isn't there any way to arrest her?
We have plenty of suspicions but we have no evidence.
Even the victim is denying it, so it will be dismissed for sure...
even if we charge her.
There's a special medicine for times like this.
Here.
It's nice to have a wife.
Today,
I got revenge for you.
I got a call from the lawyer.
Did you send the original photo? What did he say?
He said we have a 99 percent chance of winning.
And he's also going to file for an injunction...
so Shin Nan Sook can't sell the stocks.
That's great.
You'll be getting back everything your father left you.
Here. Cheers!
I miss my father a lot today.
What kind of person was he?
I only remember him studying all the time.
Whenever I stood by his door because I wanted to play with him,
he would place me on his lap...
and tell me different stories.
I became a detective so I could get revenge...
for my father's unfair death,
but I don't know why it's so difficult.
That shameless person is out there as if nothing happened,
and I feel so helpless.
You're going to get her.
You will, for sure.
You're the one who helped me find my true self...
and also the one who helped the kids...
find their father.
It's only taking a bit longer.
So don't feel so bad about it.
I'll have to correct myself.
I'm the one who's lucky, not you.
What do you mean?
There's no other wife like you.
You're rich, nice,
and even know how to comfort your man.
You may not be so pretty,
but call it even with your money.
Come on!
Eun Dong Joo.
I can promise you now.
I'm going to get Shin Nan Sook, no matter what.
Just you wait.
I'm going to make her pay, for sure.
I'll be waiting.
(3H Acupressure Bed)
I'll have to make it shine bright to please the boss.
Why is it so hard?
I'm dizzy.
Why am I so dizzy these days?
Is it malnutrition?
No way.
I have to live long. I can't die.
Let me lie down for a bit.
I'm so sleepy.
Mi Joo!
Oh, Ki Young.
When did you get here?
You said you wanted my dad to like you.
How could you be sleeping like this?
What am I supposed to do?
I keep having a headache and getting sleepy.
Come here and lie down. It's so warm and nice.
Is it? Then I'll let you rest on my arm.
Isn't it heavy? I'm a total blockhead.
It's light. Because it's empty.
Come on!
What do you think you're doing, Ms. Oh?
Is this why you got a job here?
If you're going to seduce my son like this,
get out this instance! Get out!
Sir, if you kick me out now,
I'm never going to break up with him.
Do you want that?
Fine.
You have 28 days left, right?
I'll hold up for 28 days.
[VIU Ver] MBC E54 'Golden Garden' "Sabina & Joon Ki Are Declared Innocent" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Let's tear that calendar up.
Rip it all apart.
Shin Nan Sook was hiding Lee Sung Wook all along.
I've been...
fooled by that woman all along.
Honey.
Yes? What is it?
Are you free tonight?
- Why? - What do you think?
We should have a garden party before it gets any colder.
A party?
What party?
Where is your mind at these days?
We've been so anxious until now,
but the kids were declared innocent.
Nothing else could make us happier.
What's there to be happy about?
Then should we be sad?
To be honest, blood is thicker than water.
No matter what the child does wrong,
parents always take their child's side.
This is a gift from the skies,
since you've done so many good deeds.
Life is so easy for you, isn't it?
Fair is fair.
Joon Ki won't have any problems becoming the CEO anymore.
After the MOA next week,
let's hand over the position right away...
and leave for Croatia, okay?
Those pretty eyes of yours shouldn't be working,
but looking at the amazingly pretty beaches in Croatia.
I don't know if I have time left for that.
I have tons left to do.
Gosh...
What else is she planning?
Why can't she just hand it all to Joon Ki?
What else does she have to do?
Goodness.
Grandma, why did you want us all here?
Are you trying to set a date for our wedding?
You should be the ones setting your own wedding date.
Why would I do that?
She made an important decision.
She wants to set up a foundation, to follow Doctor Cha's wish.
A foundation? What foundation?
The MS Research Foundation.
It's a foundation to bring in famous doctors from overseas...
and support them so that they can study and develop...
new medications and treatments.
Your father wanted to do that.
That's going to cost a lot.
Where will you get the money?
Where do you think?
We have the stocks your father left us.
Grandma!
That's not it. I'm also going to sell the building...
in Gangnam for that.
Why are you doing this to me?
I wanted to be a landlord! Come on!
Gosh, you... Grow up, will you?
Dong Joo is also going to pitch in.
What?
Sister!
So did Ki Young.
A precious two percent.
Why are you all...
Why are you all leaving me out?
They left me out too.
Ki Young,
you're supposed to discuss money matters with me.
If you want to spend money on good deeds, help me make an album.
Don't worry.
I'm going to set some money aside for your album...
and for Mid Eum and Sa Rang's new house.
I love you, Dong Joo!
I knew I could trust you.
Fine!
Good job, Grandma.
How heartwarming.
But instead, the other two buildings are mine.
Stop that nonsense, and get to work!
I have a busy day today.
What?
You...
It's me. I need to give you one last thing, so drop by.
Did you get the call from Gold Corporation this morning?
About executing the MOU?
Yes. I think it will be sometime next week.
What a relief, Joon Ki.
If we join hands with Gold Corporation,
it will only be a matter of time that we become a global company.
Gold Corporation's sales network in the US, China,
and Europe will all be ours.
That's why I prepared...
a last-minute gift for you.
Here.
- What's this? - Open it.
(CEO, Choi Joon Ki)
Sabina...
Your mother made up her mind.
She's going to retire once the MOU goes through.
Congratulations, President Choi Joon Ki.
What is it?
I'm not sure if this will be all right.
I was going to turn myself in...
and pay for my sins when Lee Sung Wook shows up.
But it's like the accident never happened.
I'm in a daze, to be honest.
And I feel bad.
Was that why...
you couldn't sleep at all last night?
It's such a relief when it comes to you and our baby,
but I feel so bad about Lee Sung Wook and his kids.
It pains me too.
But this happened when you were going to turn yourself in.
Maybe the skies had this planned for us.
So that we can expiate it and do good deeds...
for the rest of our lives.
But Sabina...
Come on. We should go outside.
I'll help you cheer up. Okay?
Sit down.
I made this for you.
It's dried yellow corvina. Your father used to love it.
You said to me...
that you couldn't hate me because of the affection...
you had for me for raising you for five years.
It's the same for me.
I always wanted to feed you a warm meal,
but I don't know why it was so hard.
Aren't you ashamed...
to do this to me?
So you got the documents?
The injunction for the prohibition of stock disposal.
I thought you were naive,
but I guess you're no different when it comes to money.
What is it that you want to say?
If you called me in to make me withdraw the lawsuit,
I'll have to reject it.
Sit down.
Is 200,000 dollars enough?
What?
It cost your father 150,000 dollars when he bought it 30 years ago.
I'll throw in 50 grand more,
so give it up completely.
Do I still look like...
the five-year-old Eun Dong Joo...
you left behind on that bus to you?
You left me with 20 dollars...
while you stole my father's fortune...
and my name and whole life away.
Why did you do that?
Were you worried I would starve...
while you were throwing me out on the streets?
Was that 20 dollars your last bit of conscience?
So you can console yourself,
saying you didn't make a small child starve to death...
as a stepmother?
Watch your mouth.
But we're not much different, are we?
You're the one who had been pretending to be pure and naive.
Have you lost your senses in front of all that money?
Yes, I have.
I like money and know how to spend too.
If you hadn't stolen it from me,
I wouldn't have suffered so much.
Do you know how much I suffered because I had no money?
I might have been in an orphanage,
but I was always hungry.
I had no house nor anyone to rely on,
and I had to make my own living since I was 18.
Should I continue on?
While your daughter...
lived comfortably in my place, studying in the US...
and fulfilling her dreams,
I couldn't attend college even if I longed to so much,
and had to work my hands off...
changing patients' diapers.
And you still want to deceive me again?
You want to take back what I barely managed to find?
Why should I return it?
I'm never going to let you take it.
You must've completely mistaken something.
Why is that yours?
Money isn't about making,
but protecting.
If I spent all the money after your father died,
do you think it would've been worth anything?
So stop babbling about your share...
and just take the 200,000 dollars that was yours in the first place.
I'm sorry.
You had to reluctantly make this meal...
and tried so hard to convince me, but too bad.
I already spent all the money.
What did you say?
What are you talking about?
The case isn't even over yet. How could you spend all that money?
Why can't I, when it's obvious I'm going to win?
Let me give you one last piece of advice.
Stop it with your evil deeds.
You keep adding up your sins...
and trample on people, steal from them, and use them.
That's all you know how to do,
and I feel so sorry for you.
If you keep living like that,
you're also going to be abandoned by that daughter of yours...
you love so much. Do you understand?
Why, you cheeky little...
How dare you touch me!
Do you think I'm holding it in because I'm weak?
You...
Listen to me carefully.
If you don't repent, you're going to be...
shedding tears of blood before long.
Now please, get a grip on yourself!
How dare she...
How could she...
What do I do now?
What now?
No, I'm sure there's a way.
I'm sure there's a way, for sure.
I'm sure there's a way!
What's all this?
I told you.
I want you to make that foundation my son wanted to make...
with this.
Living all these years,
I realized money runs away if I only fill my own pockets...
with the money I earned.
I think being wealthy...
is about filling other people's hearts,
not keeping what I have.
Ma'am...
It's not just mine.
Pil Seung, Dong Joo,
and...
some others also chipped in,
so you should carry it forward. Okay?
All right.
I'll do that.
I had to make an important decision recently,
and now I feel much better.
I don't have much time left,
but now I definitely know what I have to do.
Goodness, all right.
We don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet.
I think it's a girl. I even gave it a name.
What is it?

Byeol Ji,
you're the baby who will grant our wishes.
But what's your wish?
I want the three of us to live a carefree life.
Did you hear that, Byeol Ji?
Let's live happily.
Yes, Mom?
Now?
What is it, Mom?
Have a seat. I have something important to say.
What is it about?
Two more people are supposed to come,

Who are they?
