(Operating Room)
Nam Jin.
Si Woo.
(A month and a half later...)
Who are you, and why are you saying you're my mom?
That isn't true.
You aren't my mom.
No.
Jin Ah, Jin Ah.
Get that person out of here, Jin Ah.
Go away.
Mr. Choi.
What's wrong, Mr. Choi?
What's the matter with you? Pull yourself together, Mr. Choi.
Mr. Choi. Mr. Choi!
I've been fine for a long time now. Why do I have to stay another day?
Hang in there.
You're very quick at recovering.
I'm quick at everything.
You aren't quick-witted though.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Many people show delirium symptoms after getting a liver transplant.
Delirium symptoms?
What is that?
You could say it's a type of hallucination.
Many times, they don't know...
where they are or why they are here.
Some even see strangers.
How long do these symptoms continue for?
Delirium that shows right after surgery or infections...
usually fade away slowly...
as the patient gets better.
You don't have to worry too much.
What can we do to stop these symptoms?
Don't turn off the lights even at night...
and leave an indirect light on,
so the patient doesn't get confused.
Okay. Thank you, Dr. Kim.
Can I talk to you for a minute, Jin Ah?
Okay.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Nam Jin is leaving the hospital tomorrow,
but it looks like Si Woo will have to stay longer.
He must be seeing his birth mother.
What? Birth mother?
He keeps saying the same thing.
He asks, "why are you to say you're my mom?".
He also says, "I have a mom, so leave".
Did you know about it too?
When Bang Cheol Sang came to see him,
I found out by chance.
What about Si Woo? Does he know too?
No.
Ms. Choi was worried if he gets shocked,
it'll slow down his recovery and asked me to keep it a secret.
So, I didn't tell him.
You did the right thing.
He needs to be stable, so don't tell him.
Of course.
Thank you, Nam Jin.
Don't thank me. It's a given for brothers to help each other.
I'll go before Mr. Choi wakes up.
- Stop by before leaving tomorrow. - Okay.
Lie down.
I'll help you disinfect the wound before we sleep.
Do I need to do it again?
That hurts very much.
You whine so much. Hurry up.
Come here.
It would've been nice if we did the wallpaper and floor.
The new bedsheets and curtains are enough.
It's not like he's a newlywed. Why do the wallpaper and floor?
I want to give him everything I can.
Nam Jin's car will arrive this afternoon.
Ms. Heo, I can leave you to it, right?
Yes, do I just need to take the keys?
Yes, take the keys and sign the papers.
Nam Jin must have gotten a new car.
I heard it's the car popular to young men nowadays.
I hope Nam Jin likes it.
I don't have much to say...
since all I bought him is a bicycle.
But I don't think Nam Jin will take that car.
He's not the type to accept things...
from strangers for no reason.
Stranger?
You're right.
I'm worse than a stranger.
Goodness. Why would you...
say that?
(Hanguk Hospital Emergency Center)
Does it hurt? Should I get you painkillers?
No, it isn't that bad.
Thank you, Seung Joo.
You went through so much trouble because of me.
It's my fault for dating someone who is so sweet and caring.
By the way, haven't you seen them yet?
See what?
I wrote your name all over the wall.
Why can't you see them?
Why would you write my name on the wall?
There's a board in the hospital where people write their wishes.
Go check it out if you're curious.
All right.
I'll go to see Si Woo, so you check the board.
Okay. I'll meet you after that.
Hey. I feel apologetic towards you...
for going home first.
I'll be home soon as well thanks to you.
Make sure to take your medications and listen to Jin Ah, okay?
Nam Jin, I have a favor to ask of you.
Okay. What is it?
I heard that my mom...
will turn herself in today.
Mr. Bang said that if you testify,
my mom could be released.
Reporters seem to have noticed what happened already.
If my mom...
gets punished for stealing the grandson of Hyunkang's chairman,
that will damage Hyunkang's reputation as well,
to be honest.
My mom is regretting what she has done.
I know that you can't forgive her, but still...
she's my mom.
Can't you please help her?
No.
Si Woo, don't do it.
I must turn myself in and pay for what I've done...
to clear my conscience enough to see you two.
Of course,
turning myself in...
won't make up for the 30 years that Nam Jin lost.
But I still have to do it.
Mr. Ko Seon Gyu will be waiting for you in front of the hospital.
Since you won't be able to drive for a while,
I asked him to be your chauffeur for two months at most.
And your car will be delivered this afternoon,
so use my car just for today.
You don't have to do this, Ms. Choi.
I'm doing this as a token of my apology.
So please don't refuse it.
And the registration certificate...
I put it on your desk.
Ms. Choi.
I know that you're criticizing me...
for trying to resolve everything with money.
However,
I realized it's the only thing I could do for you...
after all these years.
But I want to do anything I can do for you.
I really mean it.
(Wish Board)
My girlfriend's name is Han Seung Joo.
Seung Joo has such a beautiful smile.
Seung Joo is honest, straightforward,
and righteous.
Seung Joo cries easily,
and she's thoughtful and kind.
To be happy with Seung Joo for a very long time.
That is my wish.
Congratulations on going home, Mr. Ahn.
Oh, my. What are you doing here, Mr. Ko?
Ms. Choi asked me to be Mr. Ahn's chauffeur for two months.
That's okay. We'll take a taxi.
I don't want it either.
I already got paid for two months' work.
Don't be like that and accept her offer.
This is the least she can do since you donated your liver to her son.
She should do more than this.
We don't want any help from you or Ms. Choi.
Please let me keep my job.
I have to earn money so I can repay your father.
I realized it's the only thing I could do for you...
after all these years.
But I want to do anything I can do for you.
I really mean it.
All right.
Then please help me out until I recover.
Sure. Where shall I take you?
Home?
No. Please take me to my office.
No. You're being reckless again since you got out of the hospital.
Take him home, please.
It won't take long.
Gosh. Seriously.
My shares and properties,
I've transferred them to you.
And the holiday house in Gapyeong that your grandfather gave me...
I decided to give it to Ms. Yang.
While I'm gone,
she'll take care of the two of you.
I wanted to do something for her.
You did the right thing.
And this...
Jin Ah, this is my wedding gift for you.
Mother.
After you two registered your marriage,
I was so out of it. I couldn't even give you a wedding gift.
I hope you like it.
Thank you, Mother.
I loved you so much.
And you meant everything to me.
I did what I did for you.
I didn't know it would make you suffer like this.
Why are you acting like this?
As if you will never see me again.
I meant to turn myself in after you fully recover.
But I don't think I can delay it any longer.
Si Woo.
Even if...
something happens...
that makes you resent me,
I hope...
at least you will forgive me.
If you also abandon me,
there will be no reason left for me to go on with my life.
How can I abandon you, Mom?
You are my only mom...
in the whole world.
What?
Seon Gyu is working as Mr. Ahn's chauffeur?
Yes. Ms. Choi paid him for two months' work in advance.
And she paid him generously.
She tried so hard to destroy him.
But I guess she has a conscience at least.
Do you call that having a conscience?
You said that Ms. Choi is incredibly rich.
Since she knows that Mr. Ahn is her son,
shouldn't she give him all of her money?
Money can't solve anything.
Do you think money can help him let go of his resentment?
I know, but she's his mom.
If she sincerely apologizes to him...
and tries hard to gain his forgiveness,
don't you think Mr. Ahn will accept her as his mom eventually?
What do you mean he'll accept her?
Are you saying Seung Joo should accept her as her mother-in-law?
I don't want that to happen.
She's an abductor and caused you harm.
I can't accept her as my in-law.
I can't tell them to break up when they're deeply in love.
Shall I make Mr. Ahn live with us?
Who will live with you guys?
Are you talking about Mr. Ahn?
That's the only way that he can cut ties with Ms. Choi.
Then what about Ms. Yang?
She dedicated her entire life to Nam Jin.
Even though Nam Jin is not her birth son,
she won't let him live with you.
Even Nam Jin won't agree to it.
That's also true.
What should we do?
I heard that Ms. Choi said she was going to turn herself in.
The minimum sentence for abduction is more than 10 years.
Would she be able to act like her mother-in-law behind the bars?
Considering Mr. Ahn's personality, I'm worried he might...
visit her in prison because she's his birth mother.
That's what worries me more.
Worry about that 10 years later.
You'll only age more if you worry about it right now.
I did it.
I told Bang Cheol Sang...
to steal Kim So Young's child...
and paid him.
Bang Cheol Sang said that you stole the child,
and he just raised the child you gave him.
That's how he testified.
I have nothing more to say.
I told him to steal the child,
and I paid him to do it.
So,
please punish me.
All right.
After a short break, I'm going to question you with Mr. Bang.
Please be ready.
Come in.
Come on in. Have a seat.
Did you come to the office as soon as you were discharged?
Yes, Mr. Heo.
Don't wear yourself out.
Take a couple more weeks off.
I'll just come when I need to.
Mr. Heo?
Yes?
If I testify to the prosecution,
will it help Ms. Choi and Mr. Bang go free?
If you say you knew you were abducted 15 years ago,
could have gone home,
but chose not to,
they won't be prosecuted since the statute of limitations expired.
What do you think I should do?
Can I be honest with you?
Yes.
Honestly,
I regret what I did.
You do?
The truth has come out,
and I stopped Ms. Choi from doing anything worse,
but I'm not sure...
if this situation is the best...
for you, Si Woo...
and Hyunkang.
I realized how ridiculous it is...
for a person to judge others.
I plan to defend Ms. Choi from now on.
- You will? - Yes.
Ms. Choi experienced pain worse than death...
because of what she did.
Why are you sighing? We should be the ones sighing.
That's right. Yeon Ji is gone,
and I don't know how our team ended up like this.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I should've just stayed in Europe.
Why did I move to Korea and go through all this trouble?
Come to think of it, I feel so bad for Ms. Choi.
Everything she ever did was for her son,
but that son isn't her child.
You're right. It's totally absurd.
It was nice when Mr. Choi, Jin Ah, Yeon Ji,
and Ms. Choi...
was at the office.
Right?
I'm here.
Did Mr. Ahn get out of the hospital?
Yes,
but he came to the office instead of going home.
How could you let him do that?
What is he thinking?
He needs at least a couple weeks of rest to recover.
You're right, but he's very bad at listening to others.
Goodness.
Seung Joo, I'm going to the prosecutor's office...
with Mr. Heo right now.
I'll explain everything when I get back.
The prosecutor's office?
Why is he going to the prosecutor's office?
Life is so hectic with him.
If you say you knew you were kidnapped when you were a teenager,
and we told you we'd send you back to your birth mother,
but you said you didn't want to go,
the statute of limitation would be up.
Then Choi Geum Soon and I won't be prosecuted.
I'll be back.
Seung Joo.
Mother.
What are you doing here?
We've got a huge problem.
I think Ms. Choi has made up her mind to do something bad.
What do you mean something bad?
I don't have an appetite...
and I can't stop thinking about you when I'm awake and in my sleep.
I have a customer.
I'll text you again later.
Welcome.
Hi, Seung Joo. Hi, Ms. Yang.
- Two yuzu teas, please. - Okay.
What do you mean Ms. Choi is planning to do something bad?
The thing is...
All I did wrong...
was take the child from Choi Geum Soon...
and raise him well for 30 years.
You were in and out of prison for 20 years.
How would you have raised him?
How could you say that?
My wife raised him,
so that's the same thing as me raising him.
I didn't abduct the child myself,
but I told him to do it. So it's my fault.
You don't need to investigate this anymore.
Just punish me, please.
Wait a second.
I'm sorry for being late, Mr. Yoo.
I'm Heo Chung Sang. I'll represent Choi Soo Hee.
Mr. Heo.
I've brought an important witness in this case.
Would you listen to his testimony?
Yes, tell him to come in.
Come in.
She said she's going to the hospital this morning...
and asked me to get some documents from the office.
Documents?
I was complaining she asked me instead of using a delivery company.
She said I needed to sign something.
I went to the office and the secretary...
asked me to sign the papers...
saying she's giving me the summer house in Gapyeong.
Not only that, but she even gave me cash.
This is 100,000 dollars.
She even gave you money?
She gave Nam Jin her building in Gangnam...
and her land in Icheon.
Do you think she's getting rid of all her property...
before she dies?
I'll repent for what I did in prison...
and hope Nam Jin and Si Woo are happy.
Mr. Jang, who works at your office,
asked me to take good care of Ms. Choi...
so she doesn't decide to do something bad. What should I do?
Do you think I should call the police?
I don't think that's necessary, Mother.
Why isn't it necessary?
I think she went to turn herself in.
So that was it.
She was packing and organizing things for the past few days.
That must've been why.
What about Nam Jin? Does he know too?
Yes, I'm pretty sure he does.
Where is Nam Jin?
He got out of the hospital today, but he didn't come home.
Where in the world is he?
About 15 years ago,
I found out I was abducted.
Mr. Bang said he would send me back to my birth mother.
But I refused.
Why did you refuse it?
I couldn't believe...
that my own mother tried to abduct me from the hospital.
What do you mean she's your mother?
Are you saying that Ms. Choi is your birth mother?
Yes. That's correct.
You must have been shocked when you found out about it.
Yes.
Honestly, I resented her a lot.
However,
I thought it was a good thing on the other hand.
What do you mean by that?
Rather than living with my mom who abducted some other kid for me,
I thought it was better if I disappeared.
Mr. Ahn, if you testify to this,
Ms. Choi and Mr. Bang won't be punished.
Would that be okay with you?
Even though she committed an unforgivable crime,
she's the one who gave birth to me.
No. I should be punished.
I ordered him to abduct Nam Jin.
Nam Jin is telling a lie.
Please send me to prison.
Please lock me up in prison so I won't get to see the sun.
I'm not forgiving you. So don't misunderstand.
I'm just telling the truth in front of the prosecutor.
(It's My Life)
When my mom looks at Nam Jin,
I see some sort of affection.
You don't have to try so hard.
Nothing will change.
Even if she's understanding, if you keep being ambiguous...
Applying such a standard to a person can be cruel.
What do you mean it's cruel?
