Ma'am.
(Episode 45)
Ma'am.
(Research Lab)
What are you doing here?
Ms. Ko, the chairwoman is gone.
Don't you think Seo Pil Doo is behind this too?
They're trying to hurt the chairwoman too.
Follow me.
We can't just stand around. I'll report this to the police.
I told you to wait.
I was right.
Where did she go with the painting?
The painting? The "Portrait of a Beauty"?
That was here?
I believe it won't be the worst scenario as you imagine,
like an abduction or confinement.
Don't be worried. I think she hid somewhere else.
Hid somewhere else? Why?
How would I know what she's thinking?
I knew it was weird that she made me travel far.
I have no idea what's on her mind.
Do you remember anything odd during the last time you met her?
You couldn't catch some old hag like her?
Where did she go in that short period of time?
I think it might be an information leak.
Do you think it could be Curator Ma Jae Ran?
That old fox? What do you mean?
It's nothing.
There's someone who has been getting on my nerves.
I don't know who she is, but I don't like the sound of that word.
Search through every single place that she might go to.
Find her within the night!
Over here.
What's going on?
Why did you want to meet here at this hour?
It was urgent.
It's about Chairwoman Ma.
My grandma?
Do you know where she is?
You brought her up this afternoon too.
She has been at my house in Yongwang-ri until now.
She was at Yongwang-ri?
I thought she was Manager Ko's aunt when I first met her.
I found out later on that she's the chairwoman.
That's how you got a job here as a secretary. It was her order.
I couldn't tell you right away...
because I had to ask what the chairwoman wanted.
But why are you speaking in past tenses?
Is there a problem?
The chairwoman...
disappeared again.
What are you and your sister up to?
Why did you two approach Jubo Group?
Up to what? I'm not up to anything.
Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear another...
Ma'am, are you okay?
Bring me the medicine.
My medicine is...
in the office.
I saw suspicious people at Raw Material Development Institute.
If they were sent there by Seo Pil Doo.
That's a possibility. I'm sure he has been looking for her.
But Ms. Ko has another idea.
Like you thought, she had the "Portrait of a Beauty".
Because she left with that painting,
she doesn't think it was Seo Pil Doo.
Even if she is right,
where could she have gone alone in that condition?
She left her medicine here too.
We need to find out why she went off the grid at first.
Please call Ms. Ko.
They didn't even say hi to me.
They resolved the misunderstanding thanks to me!
That old fox?
Was he talking about me?
Do you what time it is? Why aren't you home yet?
What?
How dare you drunk dial me?
Money for a chauffeur?
I don't care if you come in or not.
Miss. Miss?
There isn't a single soul in this house.
Miss, we're here.
Miss. Wake up.
This isn't my place.
Pardon?
You gave me this address.
This isn't my home.
What?
One second, please.
(148-31 Pyeongchang-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul)
I am at the right address.
(Ma Yeong In)
Ma Yeong In?
That sounds familiar.
The chairwoman of Jubo Group?
Hey!
Get up. Wake up, will you?
- Get up! - That hurts. Mom!
Wait till you get inside.
- Come out! Come. - I can't.
Come out.
Goodness, lift yourself up.
Goodness, be careful.
- How dare you touch her? - It's not like that.
Goodness, be careful.
Just go.
- And here's your money! - Okay.
Her family is a huge mess.
My goodness.
Goodness, you idiot. You can't go around getting drunk.
- Goodness. - That hurts.
You're not the one to talk.
You're the one who wanted to leave Grandma and go home.
Be quiet.
Why didn't you call Mr. Kim?
How dare you call a chauffeur when you're broke?
Mr. Kim can't be reached.
He's gone. He must have gone somewhere.
He's going to behave like this just because Mom is gone?
Goodness, stop leaning on me and get off of me.
My gosh! What's with you?
(My son's not a murderer!)
What is that absurd paper?
Get a hold of yourself!
I'm sorry to call you out so late.
I might get caught if I went over to Yongwang-ri.
It looks like you're in a normal condition.
Was I ever in a weird condition?
Forget it.
It's definitely not Seo Pil Doo.
It looked like suspicious people are all over Yongwang-ri,
looking for the chairwoman.
What do you think that means?
They didn't get a hold of her either.
If that's the case, I'm relieved.
Do you think she'll be all right by herself?
Do you really have no idea?
I don't.
I wonder if she also thinks I'm suspicious because of you.
What on earth is on her mind?
There's no way she would go into hiding without a plan.
She's trying to take Seo Pil Doo down.
Jubo Group only looks fine on the outside.
On the inside, it's completely filled with Seo Pil Doo virus.
The chairwoman realized that ordering people around...
as the chairwoman isn't going to fix this.
Are you talking about the company in Indonesia?
How did you know?
You probably forgot that my fans are all over the world.
Forget it.
Anyway, I think she hoped...
Seo Pil Doo will enjoy his freedom while she's gone.
That's the only way she'll find out the root of the corruption.
In that case,
I'll do as she wants.
What will you do?
I'll have to give Seo Pil Doo a place to enjoy his freedom.
What kind of nonsense is this?
How can anyone be mistaken about that?
The old women around here wear similar clothes,
so it looks like they were mistaken.
What's the story about the institute's basement?
It has been used as a meeting place for the elderly around the town.
Yesterday, they were surprised because they were playing cards.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Who are you to make that decision?
It's not my decision. It's Grandma's.
Even so, how can she do this without telling us anything?
Is this some kind of a joke?
Are you trying to secure your place...
as the chairman while the old woman is gone?
If you're still suspicious, you can call them.
I'll give you the number.
What's going on?
Mom is at a sanatorium in Hawaii.
It sounds like she won't come back.
She's only concerned about herself.
Hawaii?
Are you sure you got a call from her?
Yes, of course.
She thought the weather over there would help with her lung cancer.
Do you think Seo Pil Doo will buy that?
He won't. He's very suspicious.
Instead, he will speed up the process to obtain more funds.
And in the process, he will make an absurd move.
We just have to catch that.
Okay. Let's do this.
Then I should go and talk to the old ladies first.
Seo Pil Doo, hurry up.
Where's Heon Jeong's family?
They have been eating in their room for a while now.
Those ungrateful kids.
Hey, what happened to that old woman?
Did she already leave for Alaska or something?
You said you didn't care. Why do you ask?
You've been very rebellious with everything you say.
Quiet.
Anyway, did Ms. Ko's aunt really go back home?
Was it because we made her feel uncomfortable?
Goodness.
We almost went broke...
trying to please her with every single meal. Uncomfortable?
You got paid. You got money!
- Aunt Chung Yi. - Tae Yang.
I haven't seen you for so long.
How is your new teacher? Doing okay?
Yes.
Hey, Tae Yang. Do you want to be late?
You two should go first.
Okay. Chung Yi, see you later.
You've gotten very stylish.
Let's go, Tae Yang.
Heon Jeong, enough is enough.
- What? - Is this all that I meant to you?
I understand that you are angry.
But why won't you even try to walk in my shoes?
Is it my fault that I'm Yeo Ji Na's sister?
That's not my fault.
I hate it. I hate that I'm a sister of someone like her.
Then did someone drag you into that job at Jubo Group?
That's not the case.
You got a job there because you got greedy and you wanted to.
It wasn't because of my greed.
I went in there to do something.
Then get to work! Stop trying to convince me.
Here. Look at this.
My aunt has been passing this out to get signatures from people.
She went near your office yesterday,
and your sister kicked her out.
Is Ms. Yeo back yet?
It looks like she went to catch that lady, right?
She looked like the lady who was handing out the petition today.
Oh, the one who looked like she'll collapse soon?
Yes, that lady.
Is she all right?
Did she get hurt?
Are you to hurting her, and then pretending to help her?
If you really feel falsely blamed,
at least make sure your sister does not bother my aunt.
I won't ask for your help.
Right, my room shoes.
Where are they?
I must have left them at the restaurant.
You should go first. I'll follow.
Okay.
Will you keep treating Chung Yi like that?
Why have you been treating me and Chung Yi like this?
What did I do?
Forget about me. Don't be like that to Chung Yi.
What has she been like to you?
Who saved you when you went to Seoul...
trying to become an idol star, but got conned by that man...
and stood there crying?
While I was serving in the army,
who's the one that helped you get Tae Yang to the hospital?
That's who Chung Yi is.
Forget it, Woo Yang. That's enough.
And if you think about it,
it's not like Chung Yi is related to Ji Na by blood.
They're complete strangers.
Having no blood relation doesn't mean they're strangers.
That's not right.
Think about it. Yeol Mae was adopted by Aunt,
but does that make her...
a complete stranger?
If you live together, the time you spend with them makes them family.
(Yeolmae Hangover Soup)
Ms. Jeong.
Going to work?
Don't say another word.
I'm putting this up so that your mom will see this.
I don't think I could live unless I do something like this.
I won't say anything.
What can I possibly say?
Don't do this. Just go. Aren't you going to get to work?
I heard your sister is going to marry Jubo Group's chairman.
- It's not like that, Ms. Jeong. - Of course, it is.
Everyone at your work is talking about that.
Can you still deny it after seeing this ring?
Why do you have that?
You must have seen this ring too.
If she received an expensive ring like this,
that means they are in a special relationship. No?
But Si Joon, that idiot...
Forget it. Tell this to Ji Na.
That she cannot get this ring back from me.
I won't give this back to her until the day that I die.
I can't.
Call the Chinese side...
and find out how much capital they can send to Big Apparel.
I need to secure everything before Ma Yeong In comes back.
Look at this.
She made it sound like she'll come every single day.
Did she run away with my ring?
Ji Na.
I need to talk to you. It'll take only a second.
I thought I made myself clear.
Do you still not trust me?
Si Joon, will you please let me catch a breath?
I've been having nightmares ever since I told you...
about Byul.
Whenever I close my eyes, I see how she looked back then.
I'm leaving for Gangwon Province.
What?
You're leaving? All of a sudden?
I'll talk to my mom.
Don't worry about the petition and whatnot.
Then why did you want to see me?
I mean, you came to see me this early before working hours.
I thought it was something urgent.
It is urgent.
I needed to figure this out before I left.
Just like how you've been having dreams about her,
I couldn't stop thinking about her ever since I heard your story.
It kind of seems like I had a dream,
and it also seems like you were lying.
Si Joon, you have to pull yourself together. What can we do?
I'm sure Byul wouldn't want you to wander about like this.
I really hope you get a fresh start in Gangwon Province.
I'll pray for you too.
That's why I want to know...
if there is any trace that Byul was once on this earth?
I just can't believe that she died.
This is how foolish I am.
I guess it doesn't feel real because I never saw it happen.
What can I do for you?
If she died at the hospital, there must be a record.
I'm sorry, Ji Na.
But I want to settle this for good before I leave.
Okay. I'll call you.
Okay. You should go.
(Proof of stillbirth)
He's such a nuisance until the very end.
(TF Team Leader Yeo Ji Na)
This is a report of our brands put together up until last season.
- Leave it there and go. - Okay.
Goodness, Ms. Yeo.
Ms. Yeo, is there something wrong?
What's wrong?
Is there more of these?
Who put these files together?
Ms. Sim did.
What's with her?
Does she have anger control issues?
There's no use in ripping up that picture.
I can print out dozens and hundreds of those.
What are you doing?
Do you want to work here to joke around like this?
This is hardly a joke.
It's a mistake.
It somehow ended up in the file.
Everyone has a picture of their family.
I guess you don't.
Sim Chung Yi.
What will you do when you marry Poong Do?
Oh, right.
I heard you can pay people to pretend like they're your parents.
What do you want?
What do you need from me to get lost?
What do I want?
For you to go down.
For your true colors...
to be shown to the people that you deceived.
To see you apologize and beg wholeheartedly to them.
And for you to pay for your crimes.
In your dreams.
You'll get knocked out before that happens.
What are you two talking about?
(Report on Jubo Group's Brands)
What's all this?
I said a few things about the report she put together,
and I guess Ms. Sim got a little angry.
Even so, you shouldn't throw it like this.
Hey, Secretary Sim.
I'm sorry.
I really didn't throw it, though.
Anyway, Ms. Yeo.
I don't see your ring.
I remember seeing it because it was so pretty.
I guess you don't wear it around.
Is it because it's too precious?
Do you have some time tonight?
Of course.
Come home. Let's eat dinner.
Okay.
Do you want anything in particular?
Do you want some coq au vin...
and onion soup that we often had in France?
I want to cook for you.
Why should you cook?
We have a maid at home, or we can order some too.
Just come.
That's my joy, though.
Anyway, where's your ring?
The ring that I gave you.
I didn't want to wear it to work.
It's really dear to me, so I didn't want to get scratched.
And I don't want to get it stolen.
That's not good.
I gave you that ring to wear in front of everyone.
There's no reason to hide it.
Make sure you always wear it.
Okay.
Wear it when you come tonight.
Tonight?
And whenever you're with me.
I really liked it so much, so I wanted the same design.
I'm not sure what the design is.
You know, it has a huge diamond in the middle, and around it...
How can you not know that as an employee?
This one.
- Oh, this one. - May I take it right away?
Well, it's...
What's wrong?
Are you out of stock?
He took our last one.
It'll take at least two months until we get another shipment.
Two months?
It's order-made.
Our rings aren't made in some factory.
Even so, how can it take over two months?
What is she doing?
- Then give me a call. - Sure. Goodbye.
What did that woman take?
I just wanted to see what young people are into.
(My son's not a murderer!)
Jeong Moo Sim, you have finally gone insane.
Jeong Moo Sim, Baek Si Joon. Those jerks.
How am I going to get that ring back from her?
I guess Yeol Mae left these here.
I'll go give them to her at school.
Hasn't school begun already?
I should still take them for her to wear later.
What if her teacher gets angry?
- Ms. Oh. - Woo Yang.
What am I going to do, Woo Yang?
What? What's wrong?
I'm at the three-way intersection in Yongwang-ri,
and I got into a car accident. What am I going to do?
What? Okay. Wait right there.
I'll be there.
Hello.
What? Yeol Mae didn't come to school?
You. I'm glad I ran into you.
Moo Sim, you and I will settle this for good today.
Move. I have no time to lose.
Of course, you don't.
You're busy making flyers like these and putting them up.
That's enough.
How dare you run away?
Will you please let go of me?
Goodness, you're going to kill me. Moo Sim!
- My gosh. - Goodness, my tailbone.
Hey! My goodness.
Where on earth did she hide my ring?
This is...
Seo Pil Doo.
(Blessing of the Sea)
I'll be a part of this family once I marry Poong Do.
Please keep your manners.
Family, my foot.
- What are you two doing? - Ms. Yeo.
Yeol Mae. Jeong Yeol Mae!
Where on earth is she?
Yeol Mae is gone.
It looks like someone took her in front of my house.
You were at Yongwang-ri today, weren't you?
Where is Yeol Mae?
If anything bad happens to her, I won't let you live.
Mom. Mom...
Yes, hello?
Yeol Mae is what?
