(Episode 9)
You're back.
Where's Ms. Jang?
She's on the phone now. She'll be here soon.
I see. Have a good day.
What happened?
It is...
It's nothing.
I could bring it to you if you've asked me.
It's okay. I was passing by.
It seems like Chairman Kim called everyone over.
You didn't go there yet?
Keep the salinity under 0.3 percent.
Okay.
Since when have you known Do Young?
What do you mean?
Ms. Jang came to this house when she was 18,
and you were there with me too.
You're right.
I think Do Young feels comfortable...
especially when she's with you.
And it seems like you two talk about something I don't know.
Do you think we talked behind your back?
Can you explain about Do Young's family photo to me?
Sir.
Didn't you lose a lady and a kid a long ago?
According to his attorney, he's been...
looking for her and missed her so much,
and that's why he decided to file a paternity suit.
It's an unprecedented case as Mr. Lee claims...
that a conglomerate's descendant is her own daughter.
The whole nation's eye is on the response of Deo.
Chairman Kim has three children.
If Mr. Lee's claim is true, one of the three...
Isn't it a groundless rumor?
How could such nonsense be covered in news?
Ms. Jang, can I talk to you casually as we're home?
I guess you're busy enjoying your newly-married life.
I can't believe you made such a mistake.
Yes, sir.
Of course not.
I'm sure someone who underestimated me...
because I take care of the whole family alone did this.
I need you...
to support the Deo family...
just like you protected me...
from all the slanders...
after my husband and my father-in-law died.
I'll visit you...
after things are settled.
Okay.
So you should've let us take care of her!
I could trust her because she's got something to protect?
She must've wanted more because she had something to protect.
I don't know what Choi Seok Hun offered.
It's when our lives are at risk...
or when we get an unimaginable offer.
That is...
when our true colors are revealed.
I'm trying to find out the reason she changed her mind.
The illegitimate child...
of Mr. Wi Chang Su is Ms. Jang.
That's all I know.
That means...
you already knew that I'm not Mr. Wi Chang Su's son.
Who else knows this?
No one. It's just me.
The other day,
I told this to Chairman Kim...
because Do Young asked me to do so.
But I'm not sure if Chairman Kim still doubts...
When was it?
When you were...
on the overseas business trip.
Don't tell Mom about what happened today.
It's me who decides what to do with Do Young.
And...
Do Young must not know that I know about this.
Whether we get divorced or not,
this is not the right time.
And you also agree with me, right?
If you let Mom or Do Young know without my consent,
it'll be Do Young who gets hurt first.
Did you sleep well last night?
Are you feeling okay?
You drank a lot last night.
I haven't had drinks for a long time until yesterday,
so I fell asleep right away and couldn't see you leaving.
Right.
Here.
Actually, you didn't leave it.
I think Ye Jun...
took it out of your pocket.
His mom always told him he has to check the identification...
of men who come to our place.
I'm sorry.
When did you two get this close?
What was that between you two?
No romance in the workplace.
About the guy who claims to be my mom's man.
It'll be over before the general meeting of stockholders, right?
Judging from the sweet mood here,
none of you look worried about it.
You just sounded like Ye Nam.
Is it Stockholm syndrome?
The hostage feels intimate with the captor.
Sorry, but you got it wrong.
I'm not in J Boutique as a hostage.
You look happy, Sun Wu.
Last night...
I felt bad as I left you like that,
but I'm glad you had a good time with someone else.
If you haven't met me at all,
what would you be like now?
I guess you'd be smiling...
more often than now.
I smiled a lot.
You just didn't notice it.
Did you meet Mr. Lee Hee Seop's daughter?
She also disappeared.
Her due date is just around the corner. It's suspicious.
It's pretty clear that his daughter is taken hostage,
and Mr. Lee is threatened.
The press conference is tomorrow.
Can you find her before that?
I'll try.
I'm checking the hospitals Jogwang owns first.
You won't regret.
We don't know how Chairman Kim will respond to this.
So making it public will help you stay safe.
Don't you want to meet your daughter...
after finishing the conference without a problem?
Her due date is approaching too.
Tell the guards here to withdraw.
Mr. Lee is attending the conference out of his own will.
Wouldn't it be weird then?
(Chairman Kim can't keep her position without explanation.)
You know who I am, don't you?
So this is how we get to see each other...
thanks to you who try hard to drag Mom and me down.
I think I know what grudge you're holding against Mom.
She never told me...
about my real dad at all.
She even never talked about the one I'd believed to be my real dad.
So Mom took my dad away from me.
And my dad turned up all of a sudden...
and tries to destroy my life.
How can a father do that to his daughter?
Don't you think so?
If you need money, I can give you as much as you want.
Why don't you go abroad and live there?
There's a better way.
I should just die.
Stop it. It's dangerous.
Stop! Come here!
Would you be happy if I die?
What will change if I become your daughter now?
It's dangerous.
Why do you think your life is so unfair at this point?
You have your own family and have a daughter.
You forgot me and Mom...
and lived your life.
Why are you doing this to us now?
Come here.
Tell me why you're doing this to us!
I don't want to be like this either.
But what else can I do?
If people know that I'm not a child of the Deo,
that literally means death to me!
Please.
Please help me.
Please.
They took my daughter.
Jogwang is holding my daughter as hostage now.
She's even pregnant.
You could've just told me that you have...
to attend the press conference for your daughter then.
How could I say that to you?
You're my daughter too.
Anyway,
are you saying that you can't cancel the press conference?
I'm sorry, Ye Nam.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E17 'Secret Boutique' "Jung Hyuk's Warning" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Sir, let's go with me.
It's time for the press conference.
You should go now.
Dad!
- Soon Young! - Dad!
My gosh.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
I'm so sorry.
Let me see if you're okay.
- Didn't you get hurt? - No, I'm fine.
My daughter, it's all my fault.
I'm sorry I make you undergo a hard time.
How could I say that to you?
You're my daughter too.
We hospitalized your daughter in the maternity ward as well.
You can stay here for a while.
I can't help thinking of Ye Nam.
I've done nothing for her as a father...
and even disappointed her when we first met.
Since you had a reason for it,
she would understand.
I'll go now.
There are so many good things in the world...
including mansions I've stayed for the last few days...
and this luxurious private ward.
Even if I try hard in my lifetime,
I wouldn't be able to achieve any of these.
I guess Yeo Ok left me to gain these kinds of things.
Does she say that she's happy?
Since I can't meet her in person,
I'm asking you.
Are you leaving now?
Thank you for everything.
Take care.
Thanks.
Dad, she's leaving now. You should say goodbye.
Who are you?
Dad.
It's all right.
It's okay. You don't have to recognize everyone.
The press conference is canceled.
It won't happen again.
I'm not grateful to you at all.
I didn't do it to hear you say thank you to me.
You shouldn't think you saved my life too.
Are you afraid...
that your father would try the same thing again?
Or are you ashamed that...
you couldn't handle such a thing without me?
Don't worry about your father.
Time heals all wounds.
What do you mean?
He won't be able to try to come out to the public.
Even if his daughter is taken as hostage like this time...
or kills someone,
if he can't remember anything, nothing's going to happen.
Your father has dementia.
Your father...
would finally become nobody...
as you wish.
You've done well.
They'll stay somewhere inconspicuous place for a while.
Mr. Lee and his pregnant daughter should regain their health...
and get a place to live in the future.
Why are you trying to protect him like that?
I don't want to see...
a family being torn apart.
If I don't help them, they'll be torn apart...
by you or Jogwang Group.
The shareholders who support the Deo...
wouldn't trust it even if I show them the DNA test results.
They still suspect that we charged Ms. Jang unjustly...
for abetting a murder.
You're not a kid.
Should I take care of everything for you?
If you're going to do that already,
you should tell me the bidding price for Deo Group.
Am I here at the right time, Mayor Do?
She's Chairman Wu of the evaluation board of city project,
who would evaluate the qualification of preferred bidders.
Nice to meet you.
So,
I hope you have a good conversation.
After all,
the one who takes the lead in the city project...
would be the winner of this game.
You're going to wear it...
at the party to celebrate your reappointment, right?
The party is planned to celebrate reappointment officially,
but I scheduled the party on the day...
when the preferred bidders are announced.
What's your bid price?
It's should be reasonable...
but larger than Jogwang Group at the same time.
In front of Vice-Chairman Choi,
you should show him who gets the project.
I'll reward you for canceling...
the press conference too then.
Okay, ma'am.
I've met the girl who's staying by your side.
She looks quite upright...
and it looks like she'd do anything if I tell her to do.
Just like you.
There are seven commissioners in charge of evaluating...
preferred bidders.
We need to win some of them on our side.
It's rather Chairman Wu who has a weakness.
She is addicted to gambling.
Gambling?
Do you mean card games?
It's go.
Go games for money.
Chairman Wu goes to a go party every Wednesday.
And go games for stakes are held in a secret room.
We have a go player. How about letting her play there?
Let's move. Do you need time to get ready?
No. Let's go.
Sun Wu, you should stay here and go over the proposals...
and help Ye Eun working.
Let's leave.
I don't want to be left by just two of us this way.
I would choose a successful career over men.
I guess you need some help to get ready.
You're not a go player...
but a gambler now.
Actually, the real gamblers don't wear like this.
Then, you can change back into your clothes.
However,
I'd just wear them...
For me?
You look you're getting along with Sun Wu.
He's quite nicer...
than I thought.
He feels lonelier than he looks.
I think he doesn't open his mind to others easily...
because he is too straightforward.
In fact, I felt that way when I first met him.
It's thankful...
that there's someone who cares about how he feels.
We should go.
Hurry up.
You can't go in like that!
Will you proceed with it this way?
You may leave.
That's what mayors' job is.
We should listen to everyone.
It'll open the new chapter of the Korean development history...
and become the hub city of Northeast Asia.
How could I turn away my head as a mayor?
Ju Ho, why don't we have a positive view?
I'll build a beautiful city with my two hands.
You don't trust me, do you?
You became a city councilor by using your family story.
Do you feel dignified with your sense of duty?
Here's the truth.
After your brother died...
in the protest against the mountain development,
you were nominated as a reward of his death...
and became a city councilor.
Do you think taking the position will be justified...
if you follow your brother's footsteps?
Ju Ho.
If you meddle in every single thing I do,
your career as a government official might end here.
For me, dragging you down is a piece of cake.
I don't think I can stand the pain...
watching you being wrecked.
So...
just leave on your won.
Get out!
- Sir. - Ju Ho...
It's nothing.
I'm just out to get some air.
He's the manager of the information division from the police agency.
Thinking too long will just make you the wrong move.
If I'll end up with the wrong move, I should think long at least.
If I make the wrong choice without hesitation,
that means I already gave up.
I gained another territory.
I thought you almost passed...
the professional player selection contest.
I forgot my lunchbox, so I returned home.
And I missed the bus.
No one would...
bet his money on your victory here.
Why don't you change your profession other than go?
I seek dignity even in gambling...
unlike you who's after money only.
You may have the skills, but your manners are terrible.
I withdraw. This is so boring.
What kind of a woman is that?
What's her rank?
Why do you bother asking?
The rank is meaningless in go games for bets.
The final match in the national...
amateur go tournament held by Deo Foundations.
You played there, didn't you?
You know, the one who wins all the amateur games in the nation.
I almost didn't recognize her.
No wonder. Why didn't you say it earlier?
This is driving me crazy.
You'll continue to play, right?
Swindlers are usually the best in games.
You are leaving already?
How about a game with me?
- I saw you earlier on... - No thanks.
I'm sorry.
I have an agent after all.
(Yun Sun Wu)
It's really Kang Jong Wu's autograph! How did you get it?
Let me have a ball with your autograph on in advance.
It'd get pricy when you become a famous player in the future.
(Yun Sun Wu)
I have the autograph of the great player Yun Sun Wu.
Jung Hyuk, when I turn 20 and move to Seoul,
I'm going to live with Do Young.
You should live with us too.
The three of us?
Yes, the three of us.
I don't want to.
Then give it back.
I'll give it to you when you come to live with us.
You're stubborn as always.
(Yun Sun Wu)
Do I only get three minutes today as well?
I came to talk to you.
It's been such a long time.
We do have memories after all.
You've grown so much, Yun Sun Wu.
I was about to throw it away.
I think I really should now.
You told me before that you wished my feelings for Do Young were true.
How about now?
Did you come here to ask me that?
What about you?
Is it really all over for you?
You have no right to be by her side. How could you...
see another woman with Jang Do Young next to you?
It's better for you, Sun Wu.
You've been waiting for the day that I'd break up with Do Young.
Yungcheon International City Limited Company.
It's the company that will invest...
in the international city project with Deo at the center.
Send me some data as I'll do some research on my own too.
Such a vital matter to Deo...
should be looked over by me, the eldest son of Deo.
I can't leave it to someone else's hands.
I should change too,
just like you threw the ball away.
Make sure to send every bit of the data.
Chairman Wu,
I want to talk to you about the proposal evaluation.
You made the wrong judgment.
I have more than enough money...
and I have no interest in a position either.
It won't work even if you threat me...
with whatever I did here.
So, goodbye.
Or...
what if we talk about go?
Both proposals...
from Jogwang and Deo would be similar.
I want to win with a clear difference.
And why do you think I would commit...
such a foul act over a mere go game?
You've said it yourself.
You have more than enough money...
and no interest in a position in public offices.
There could be some people who bet their life...
on a go game.
Write down a number that's one bill higher...
than Jogwang's bidding price.
How much would the one bill be? Ten million dollars?
A hundred million dollars?
Ten dollars.
You are terribly mean.
You are really making fun of Jogwang.
You want to win a project worth 20 billion dollars...
with just ten dollars.
Okay.
I'm in.
If you have asked me to write 100 million dollars more,
I wouldn't have done it because it's boring.
Now it's time...
to tell you what I want.
Set up a game with a big crowd...
and lose to me.
That's my condition.
Are you asking me to play a game with strings attached?
I can't lose on purpose.
I've never played a single go game...
in my life to lose on purpose.
Let's forget about the deal.
I'll get going first.
She's a proper go player.
A true adventurer would lose her temper and react...
in that way when they get asked to lose on purpose.
A proud and truly alive go player.
She's charming.
I wasn't going to play along...
if she agreed to my request immediately.
I'm a bit mean, don't you think?
What do you think?
Do you think you can close this deal?
A true adventurer would...
make a move that would benefit her.
(The chairman is looking for you urgently.)
(Come to this address.)
He's Commissioner Lee Ju Ho from Yungcheon City Council.
You must know him.
Is What Commissioner Lee said true?
Ye Nam was involved with Mayor Do in the incident,
and a police officer who had been looking into it went missing.
And I hear that you have that officer's daughter.
After that day, I stayed around the yacht...
to see what would happen.
Something unbelievable happened as I expected.
I can't let such mayor take charge of the Yungcheon city project.
I also can't watch him pursue his personal interest with Jogwang.
Mayor Do steps out...
and a new mayor proceeds with the project in a fair process.
That's my condition...
to staying silent in regards to Executive Director Wi.
You've made the right choice in coming to me directly.
I'll make sure to talk to her.
Get rid...
of that commissioner.
I'll make sure to wrap it up properly.
The promising future is just around the corner.
Until now, I've been watching you...
on what you do with that police officer's daughter.
How long do you intend to hold on to the embers...
which will burn up eventually?
- I'm waiting for the right time... - I've...
told you before.
That you wouldn't know...
how far I went...
to rise to this place.
I locked up two children...
in a box.
Can you even imagine how terrifying that that dark and small space...
must have been?
Sometimes, I see the mother...
of the children in my dream.
Even if I were to go back to the past,
I would make the same choice.
That's who I am, Ms. Jang.
If you are not...
going to take care of Lee Hyun Ji,
I'll have to do it myself.
I understand, ma'am.
- What are you doing? - Oh, my.
What are you doing at this hour?
The stray cat that we saw last time.
I came to feed him, but he's not here.
Follow me.
He belongs the convenience store.
What?
I thought he was a stray.
He's famous for roaming around the store...
and rippng off the customers by having them feed him.
The convenience store makes good sales thanks to that.
You've been tricked too.
That's unbelievable.
It's okay. It took me six months until I found out.
You are so gullible...
even more than I am.
It doesn't bother me. I make a lot of money.
Supporting a cat is no problem.
I guess...
you save a lot from not spending money on dates.
Isn't that right?
Not really. I spend quite a bit.
Look how nice I'm dressed.
What did you say?
If you are not...
going to take care of Lee Hyun Ji,
I'll have to do it myself.
By the way,
why are you throwing these out?
You even have an autographed ball.
It seems like you were quite a huge fan.
Is it an autograph of a famous player?
(Yun Sun Wu)
Who knows? If I hadn't quit baseball,
I could've been a famous baseball player.
Why did you quit it?
Because I had another dream.
I became a lawyer...
and came to be able to stay with someone whom I want to protect.
She even changed your dream.
My issue might be a piece of cake for Ms. Jang.
Did something happen?
When you went to play go today...
I was told to lose on purpose.
So?
Can't you do it?
What?
Let me get this straight.
"What's the big deal about losing that mere game of go?"
"It's just about putting stones on a board."
Is this what you mean?
I should've just gone home.
I shouldn't have felt pity for this stuffed house cat.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E18 'Secret Boutique' "The Game of Go" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I kept these on the top of my bookshelves for a long time.
I'm finally throwing them away.
It must be hard for you too.
Baseball is the past for me.
But for you, go is the present.
I acted like I was okay, but it's quite sad.
Don't do it if you don't want to.
You don't have to.
Yeo Ok.
Where you have been this time?
I told you to close your business and stay at home.
Thank you...
for making a family for me, who was just a lonely orphan.
Once we have our child discharged from the hospital,
let's raise her well and healthy.
I'll raise your son as if he's my own child too.
Wait a second.
I bought long johns for our daughter...
so that she wears them after she leaves the hospital.
You can count on me.
I'll work at nights and even on holidays...
to earn as much money as I can get paid.
Dad, you took them out again?
Goodness.
What about these long johns?
Let's put them back in.
Your body is bound to remember matches you had.
If the top go player in the country beats you hard,
what next?
Your body will remember the failure.
If you play winning games only,
you'll be faced with a moment to leave this field.
Get me something to drink.
Something that I always have.
On my way to raise the bet.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
It's going to end by half a point.
Even those with superpowers can't predict exact points.
Don't get your hopes up too high.
How far will you go?
Are you anxious you might lose?
She lost.
That amateur champion was all for nothing.
What was that?
- Unbelievable. - How could that happen?
The game was over by half a point.
That was close.
Well, you do have skills.
What are you doing?
We made you win the game as we promised.
It's your time to keep yours now.
I don't know what you are talking about.
I won the game myself, but what?
You made me win?
Hey.
Should we review the game?
Do you want me to explain how I won?
Well? Should I finish drinking this or not?
Why would you drink mine? It's gross.
Were you going to put this back during counting?
I guess you were very nervous.
It got captured on the security cameras.
If this gets out,
you'll be done for in this field.
That's obvious.
You'll have to play games only with petty players then.
Will you be okay with it?
Okay.
Tell me the amount.
I need that information to make Jogwang spend less than that.
It's the bidding price of Deo.
I wonder how an amateur go player like you...
got involved with such a business.
Good work.
Whose car do you want to take?
I will...
take Lawyer Yun's car.
Instead, you should take his car too.
I just lost the game, you know.
I need you two to console me today.
All right. Come on, guys.
Where did you get those?
Some fool threw them out, and I thought it was a shame.
I told the convenient store owner to keep them for a few days...
since I raised his sales, and he said yes right away.
We should get over people through people...
and get over defeat through victory.
All right.
If any of you beats me today,
I'll make you pay for it.
Pay for it how?
Let's try playing catch ball first.
We should do it over there. Hurry up.
Let's go.
What am I supposed to do with her?
The preferred bidder will be announced today, right?
Yes, at nine at night.
This party is to celebrate Yeo Ok's reappointment,
but I might be the star of it.
Is he doing well...
in the hospital?
Yes, we're keeping a strict guard on him,
so it's hard for outsiders to approach him.
If you...
- have changed your mind... - I feel bad.
I feel bad for him. That's why.
Mr. Lee.
He's been taken care of.
Excuse me for a second.
Mr. Lee...
is dead.
It's not Jogwang.
Chairman Kim and we are the only ones...
who know his whereabouts.
It's Chairman Kim.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
(Secret Boutique)
She turned my entire life into a lie.
She even took my dad away from me.
I'm going to make her regret.
Jogwang has been selected as the prefered bidder.
Tell me. Is that so?
Can you come out for a second? I have something to tell you.
I'll get divorced.
Why are you suddenly doing this?
Thinking the Deo family could lose out to Jogwang,
I've become greedy that I want to have something too.
What made you like this?
My heart has become dead cold.
