(Episode 99)
Why did you keep pestering me?
Nothing would've happened if you'd just stayed still.
Clear the charges you put on me.
If you don't,
I'll tell Yeol Mae everything.
What?
Why? Are you afraid?
Yeol Mae has to know...
who her real mom is.
I'd love to see how she reacts.
Yeo Ji Na!
Yeol Mae.
Why did you come here? Let's go.
What are you scared of? Why are you running away in a hurry?
Let's finish our discussion.
Enough is enough.
Yeol Mae, are you there?
You can't run off like...
Yeo Ji Na.
I was wondering why you didn't meddle with this.
You wouldn't stay out of problems like these.
What a shame.
We can finish our discussion later.
What do you want to say to me? Stop bothering me.
What are you going to discuss with Si Joon later?
Are you threatening him again?
Threatening him?
I just want to talk to him. Is there a problem?
Why are you so twisted with every single thought?
I'm warning you.
Leave Yeol Mae and Si Joon alone.
Don't ever appear before them again!
Gosh, you are so caring.
Who do you think you are?
I'm Yeol Mae's aunt!
What?
You knew too?
Baek Si Joon told me to keep her identity a secret.
I resent the fate when I think about how a great girl like Yeol Mae...
was born from a woman like you.
This is the last chance you can live as a decent human.
Do not reveal your identity to Yeol Mae.
Go live in a hiding for life!
You can't cut off ties between a parent and a child that easily.
Things like that don't work out like how I want them to.
I abandoned her in an orphanage,
but I ended up meeting her.
That's fate, isn't it?
How much lower will you go?
Look at yourself.
What does that have to do with you?
Stop meddling with my family and go mind your business.
Why did you come here?
I wanted to show you this.
You've done well.
Anyway,
about what she was saying...
Who is...
my real mom?
- What? - Just now,
that bad lady said so.
No, you only have one mom.
Your late mom.
You have no other moms.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Did she get caught by the police?
I have to get ahold of her to do something.
Goodness.
Where have you been?
My hair almost went all gray just like your dad's.
Baek Si Joon knew everything!
What?
Si Joon and Yeol Mae knew...
that he's her dad and she's his daughter.
No way.
Yeol Mae didn't say a word.
Wait.
Then they put on a show when they knew everything?
She doesn't know I'm her mom, so don't let it show.
Why? You said they already know. Who cares?
If I tell you not to do it, just don't.
What can I get from telling her...
that I'm her mother?
Anyway, how can Si Joon do this to the mother of his child?
Goodness, he couldn't meet another woman...
and have a child with her as an ex-convict.
If he found out you had his precious child,
he should be grateful for you.
Forget it.
Think about it. Am I wrong?
Goodness.
You didn't abandon her because you wanted to.
You must have suffered so much to make such a choice.
- You poor girl. - Stop talking about that.
Anyway, I am too frustrated to sit around like this.
Can you get me a cell phone under your name?
A cell phone?
What if the police come and arrest me...
for giving you a phone under my name?
Can you just use a walkie-talkie?
Mom!
I'm afraid Yeol Mae may get hurt again.
She just started speaking again too.
The more I think about Ji Na, the creepier she is.
How can she threaten you with something like that?
She knows Yeol Mae despises her,
so she probably wanted to use that.
I didn't think she would...
go that far and use Yeol Mae as her shield.
I feel so anxious. Do you think it'll be okay?
What if Yeol Mae finds out?
Don't worry. I'll stop her from doing that.
Poong Do, I am good with information,
but finding the one who spread Seo Pil Doo's rumor is...
another level.
You should ask the cyber police.
Who could it be?
He has many enemies. It's not easy to put a finger on someone.
What about Director Baek Si Joon?
Who could it be?
And the contents were very specific too.
I don't know who it is,
but it seems like the plan was made meticulously to bring him down.
Whoever it is...
set the stage for us,
so we need to make use of it.
I haven't seen this look in a while.
What look?
Who was that? Your rival.
Dominique.
Why would you mention that scumbag?
At the Dutch royal family's charity recital.
It was the piano battle of the century.
The glare from your eyes was enough to burn the keys.
That day, just like today, you went on stage...
with eyes fiery enough to burn up the hall.
Did I?
Yes. Your gruff demeanor was your trademark charm.
To be honest, you'd become too soft.
I should tune myself then.
Someone rekindled my fire, so I should burn bright again.
Okay. Let's go!
Sim Chung Yi and Ma Poong Do are looking for...
the one who started the rumor.
Are they?
Then that rules them both out.
If it's not Poong Do or Chung Yi,
who could it be?
Is it Jo Ji Hwan?
How could he do that?
It's not an entirely impossible scenario.
Seeing that he got away,
perhaps he's been preparing for this for a long time.
I'll locate him as soon as possible.
If he read Sim Chung Yi's interview,
(Searching for Lost Father)
he'll know his daughter's alive.
He might contact Chung Yi. Keep a close eye on her.
Yes, sir.
- Why are you still up? - What about you?
I only just read your interview.
That you're looking for your birth dad.
Why didn't you tell me?
You haven't heard anything yet?
I'm sure you'll reach him soon.
Everyone's talking about baekcheongcho.
He'll have read about you somewhere.
He's dead.
What?
He was in a sanatorium all this while...
until he died a month ago.
I found out only recently.
Chung Yi...
I was so sad and distraught for a while after I found out.
Now I want to work harder on something I can do for him.
That's why you were sick.
Mr. Sim seemed concerned. Does he know?
Yes.
Right, Woo Yang told me earlier.
A TV show called to invite you in for an audition.
That's not what's important right now.
It is.
In the end, it's a goal that keeps someone going forward.
I hope you can go far in whatever you do.
Thank you.
Tell me if you need my or Woo Yang's help.
Don't struggle on your own.
Okay.
Thanks, Heon Jeong.
Hello?
I'm Jo Heon Jeong.
A credit card?
No thanks.
That blows.
Waiting for a call is hard work.
"Man proposes, the deity disposes."
If you did your best, just wait for the deities to decide.
Son, why are you talking like an old man?
I find your vocabulary very unfamiliar these days.
If we cause trouble in school,
the teacher makes us memorize the Myungsimbogam.
That's why.
Lee Tae Yang.
I liked it when Yeol Mae couldn't talk.
What?
Where's Chung Yi?
She left early this morning.
Did you two argue?
She seems to be avoiding you.
Eat breakfast.
I am eating.
Mr. Sim.
How do you know Gwi Nyeo's mother?
Gwi Nyeo?
Poong Do's cousin Gwi Nyeo?
Yes. The woman who wrapped drunk you in her scarf...
and left you by the gate.
It looked like Gwi Nyeo's mother.
Did you two drink together?
No, not at all.
- You're mistaken. - Am I?
I don't think I am.
You are.
Eat up.
(Baekcheongcho flower - Yield)
Is this all the flowers we got?
They bloom at once and wither suddenly.
They're harder to see than the king's face.
Progress is too slow.
We must find a way.
It's important to find a way.
But can't we do that after we eat?
What is lunchtime for?
It's to eat lunch.
Let's take breaks too.
Sorry.
You don't need to apologize.
I know you're rushing because of your father,
but we should make haste slowly.
Okay.
It was slow, but we've been making progress.
Everything we tried so far worked.
Yongwang-ri's mineral water and the fertilizer ratio.
We're almost there. We just need the last two percent.
That's what I can't get and it's so frustrating.
Don't rush yourself and think carefully.
You have the childhood memories of baekcheongcho.
I'm sure there's something else.
Let's eat first.
Our brain needs fuel to work too.
Let's go.
Sim Hak Gyu...
doesn't even have a secret stash everyone else has?
What kind of a man...
doesn't keep money from his wife?
Darn it.
Why are you digging through a perfectly fine closet?
Tell me the truth.
You drove Jubo Group's chairwoman's car.
Did she not give you a severance pay?
What severance pay?
It's true when they say the rich are more stingy.
Does she not have a conscience? She didn't give you a cent?
You're talking about conscience?
Cough up the six-month rent Poong Do gave you.
What...
What are you doing?
- Get off me! - My birthday is next month.
Say you're giving me an early present.
What has gotten into her?
My wallet.
Bang Deok Hee! Give me my wallet!
Bang...
Bang Deok Hee!
(Dragon King Shaman)
What, 10 dollars is all he has?
- Bang Deok Hee! - Darn it.
Shoot.
That woman...
My money.
Thief! Catch that thief!
She used to wear clothes that were out of fashion.
She got Poong Do to buy her a lot of nice clothes.
We're back from school.
I guess no one's at home.
Shall we go to the restaurant?
Yeol Mae. My stomach hurts.
Go to the toilet. I'll wait here.
Hi. I just got home after school.
Me?
I'm not in pain. I'm fine.
I thought what you saw yesterday scared you.
I'm okay.
Even if I see the bad woman, I won't feel scared.
I have you, Dad.
Are you busy?
Let's talk later, Dad.
Okay.
"Dad"?
They're playing house.
Don't they realize who's causing me so much trouble?
Yeol Mae, what are you looking at?
That's Uncle Si Joon.
Doesn't he look awesome?
Do you like him that much?
Let's go. I'm hungry.
Ji Na.
What are you doing at home?
Why... Why are you such a mess?
Did something happen to you?
Stop pretending to be worried about me.
You must be having a great life.
Everyone knows you stole the portrait,
but you're out here roaming about.
I guess Chung Yi has great connections.
You always end up paying for your sin.
And I don't mean it in a legal sense.
It might come back to torment you in a harsher way.
Ji Na.
You should ask for forgiveness...
and pay for what you have done.
I haven't done anything wrong. Don't bring me down to your level.
Stop being so pretentious, pretending like...
you are so nice and you care about me.
Your mom kept on asking me for money.
Do you need money again?
What if I do? Do you have any money?
Why do you need money?
Why are you so desperate...
that you would come home in secret?
Is it because of Seo Pil Doo?
Did something happen between you and him again?
Seo Pil Doo isn't the one who's giving me a tough time.
It's your daughter, Sim Chung Yi.
Ji Na!
Additional rumors have been spreading after that.
There is a petition...
requesting an investigation of your rumors.
A petition?
People these days file a petition...
asking the state to catch flies and mosquitoes in their home.
The investors who gave you the fund...
to invest in the Ragok District seem very anxious too.
Don't mind them.
People who get scared over some rumors...
don't deserve a lot of money.
How pathetic.
What about Sim Chung Yi's side?
She hasn't made any new moves yet.
Thank you for two days ago.
I'm sure you wouldn't want me to come and thank you,
but you did help me out.
If they're going to hold a get-together here again,
I won't come.
Please don't come.
Come and take a seat.
You too, Woo Yang.
Why?
We're going to run into each other in any way from now on,
so we can't just move on without figuring this out.
If there are any feelings left, you two need to settle it for good.
I'll give you some privacy.
There is nothing to settle...
Just do it.
This is awkward.
I've been curious for a while.
Who is Heon Jeong to you?
She's very precious to me.
If she isn't with me today,
that means there is no tomorrow either.
I thought she was always going to be with me,
but I recently realized how precious she is.
You can feel like that about someone?
That's really hard.
I won't be able to love anyone like you two, will I?
Why not? There's someone out there for you.
You just haven't met him.
And you definitely can be loved.
Meet someone who is...
sturdy like cement, who can fill up the hole in your heart.
No, I'm going to focus on my career for a while.
A woman who is hard working and in love. Doesn't it sound cool?
Okay. Career or whatever,
what's important is that you are happy.
I'll get going.
Right.
Can you tell Heon Jeong that I thanked her?
And that I am sorry.
What's going on?
I'm going to go crazy with work at the office and at home.
Don't try to stop me.
You used to carry around loads of books at school,
and was the 1st or the 2nd of your class.
From the back, that is.
Do not put out the fire of my passion.
I am going to bring success to that Goryeo project or whatever.
I'm sure Poong Do has all the good materials.
Where is it?
Found it!
I knew it.
I'm the granddaughter of Jubo Group. Why do you all think I'm a joke?
I can do this!
This is so exciting.
What is this?
Oh, no.
Hey, what are you doing in Poong Do's room?
What's that?
This is...
Sung Jae's article.
Mom, are you in there?
Who are you?
Help me!
What are you doing?
I'm going to call the police!
I'll call the police!
Go ahead, if you can.
What are you doing?
These things will be shipped out to Africa in two days.
What?
Are you going to send me there?
I think this is probably the best way to get rid of you.
I can't stand the fact that you are breathing the same air...
as Yeol Mae.
I... I won't come before Yeol Mae again.
I'll do as you wish.
Would you believe what you said?
It's too late, Yeo Ji Na.
Baek Si Joon!
Baek Si Joon. Baek Si Joon!
Baek Si Joon!
Baek Si Joon, spare my life!
Spare my life!
Baek Si Joon! Please!
Please spare my life!
Let me out!
Please!
Baek Si Joon! Spare my life!
Baek Si Joon!
Jo Hong Joo.
Think about it.
What's the last two percent of the secret?
You already know.
What in the world is it?
(Dragon King Shaman)
What's with you two?
What's wrong?
Poong Do.
I have something to tell you.
I didn't mean to do it, so you have to forgive me.
What is it?
This is...
You ended up causing trouble.
I knew you looked really anxious.
I didn't do anything. Don't bring me into this.
I'm sorry, Poong Do.
I guess I was too eager.
I was just peeking through the Goryeo project files.
I'm really sorry for what I did.
That was my dad's...
Take pity on the stupid girl.
She knew it meant a lot to you,
so she gathered all the broken pieces of glass.
That's right.
Oh, there was a diamond on the inside.
A diamond?
It's a birthstone.
I put one in each of the watches I ordered.
A birthstone?
Hey.
It was in Chung Yi's room, so I got it for you.
Why do you need her father's watch?
I need to find out something urgently.
Father. You said Seo Pil Doo had an identical one.
Yes, I did. It looked exactly the same.
I'll explain what it's about to Chung Yi.
- Thank you, Father. - Sure.
You caused this huge disaster...
and you're surfing the internet?
To us, every single message means everything!
I blocked them all because I had a bad feeling.
Look at this. "Red rain".
I knew a girl called Dan Bi in high school.
She was really nasty.
- This... - Listen! Ms. Oh!
What's the matter?
Our intern categorized the emails to her standards.
A lot of them got lost.
Is this when I should apologize?
I apologize.
(Jubo Group)
This is Chung Yi's father's watch?
And there's a birthstone inside?
I thought we should check.
I'd like to see inside without damaging the watch.
(Email)
(Baekcheongcho Flower Growing Conditions)
This...
Is it...
I'm glad you're here. I was about to call you.
- Your late father... - I think my dad's alive.
We got an email...
and I think it's him.
"Red rain". That's my name. Hong Joo.
I think Dad contacted us using my name.
Actually,
I checked your father's watch.
It's a fake.
What?
It's not your father's.
Then...
The fake watch was used to lie about his death.
To deceive us.
Do you mean that he could still be alive?
(Blessing of the Sea)
Even an animal shows gratitude if one takes them in.
You're less than an animal. Do you know that?
What I must do now...
is make baekcheongcho bloom.
I think that's what Dad wants.
It has to be that Ji Hwan contacted Chung Yi.
If the Goryeo project succeeds,
that will be a huge blow to you.
If the Goryeo project succeeds,
won't you be disposed of too?
I'll ruin it for you.
You'll ruin the Goryeo project?
How will you do that?
- Where are you? - At the institute.
Get out of there. It's a trap!
