Mother, it's me. I'm coming in.
Just a minute.
Anyway,
the person I want to meet the most?
Who's that?
You'll see when you come out.
Okay.
I'll meet you there.
Mother, I had Ms. Hong...
make you porridge.
You can't keep fainting like that.
Thank you.
Who was that on the phone?
Gang Chul.
He says there's someone he really wants to introduce to me...
and wants to meet tonight.
Someone he wants to introduce to you?
Who?
I don't know.
He says it's the person I want to meet the most in the world.
Mother, you're not well enough.
You fainted while on your way to the temple.
If Gang Chul wants me to come out,
there must be a reason.
I'll go with the chairman.
His assistant too.
I'm glad you're here.
Go out with me tonight.
You can't go anywhere in your condition.
Gang Chul wants to introduce someone to me.
He says it's an important person.
It's Soo Ho. He wants to introduce Soo Ho to her.
I must stop him.
Hey. I said to hide.
Mother.
It's your fault.
If only you hadn't brought up the necklace to Mother...
Why? What's wrong?
Don't make a peep until I call you, okay?
Roots?
That means your family.
Your parents.
But how does the vice chairman know your parents?
I don't know.
Anyway, that's great.
You wanted to find your family so badly.
What time and where?
5PM at Aura Hotel. It's in 3 hours.
Let's go get ready to see him.
Maybe we'll be able to find your family.
We got to meet Gun,
and now, maybe your parents.
Chan!
Chan.
What are you people doing?
Don't you know you can't go near my child?
Are you looking down on me because I don't have a husband?
Do you think...
you can take my baby from me because I'm a single mom?
That's not it.
He fell, so I thought he was hurt.
Stay out of my son's life.
I warned you. I said I'd call the cops.
We understand, so please calm down.
We won't do anything rash.
Leave right now! Don't you dare touch my son!
Let's go. He's getting scared.
We'll go, so Gun...
Please comfort Chan so he doesn't get scared.
Chan.
Don't worry, and take care,
okay?
I said to stay here quietly.
Why did you go outside?
You did it on purpose to upset me!
No, Mommy.
There were so many scary looking men earlier.
Don't make excuses!
I told you, you're all I've got.
So I should be all you've got.
I'm sorry, Mommy.
I like you, Mommy.
I don't want you to be sad.
I know it's hard, but we have to go...
before Tiffany gets more worked up.
I'm going to just leave this in front of the store.
She won't let Chan...
go to kindergarten or anywhere outside in case we go to him.
He must be so bored.
He likes puzzles,
so let me put this there for him to play with.
Just leave this there and come back.
Make sure Tiffany doesn't see you.
Okay.
San Ha, what's wrong?
I'm sorry, Mommy.
Stop crying! How dare you whine and cry?
You're the one who upset me!
I left Daddy because of you.
You need to repay me.
You need to listen to me!
You need to stay still so I don't get stressed out!
I'm sorry, Mommy.
Mommy...
Chan.
What are you doing to a child?
He's my son. Stay out of it.
Don't you see he fainted?
It's an act.
He pretends to faint when he gets scolded.
Stay out of it,
and get away from him!
No. What is it?
Have you been deceiving us all this time?
Don't you know you can't go near him?
I'll really call the cops!
Go ahead.
We need to let them know what you did to Gun.
You think I'm bluffing, don't you? Fine.
Police?
I'm leaving for Aura Hotel now,
so please get the car ready.
Do you plan to tell her?
You plan to tell Mother about Soo Ho?
She doesn't have much time left to live.
And I don't know how much longer Father will have his health.
How much do you plan to tell them?
That Soo Ho is their eldest grandson?
Or that I abandoned him?
I should at least tell them that he's their eldest grandson.
And that I lied about him being dead.
You can't.
If you tell them he's their grandson,
they'll know I got rid of him.
When Soo Ho's mother-in-law found him,
she found a card with my name on it with him,
so they'll know I was the one who got rid of him.
I can't continue to sacrifice Soo Ho just to save you.
Honey.
I already told Soo Ho...
that I'd find him his roots.
It's been hard...
because of the guilt.
I want to put it all down now.
I'm sorry.
I have no choice anymore.
Honey.
You're their blood,
so they'll eventually forgive you.
But what about me?
What do you think Mother and Father will do to me?
Honey.
Check Aura Bio's sales...
and change in stock price every two hours.
As for home shopping...
I'm sorry.
She suddenly barged in while I was on the phone with you.
It's okay. You may go.
Aren't you being a little too obvious?
Do you want to show off that you made me CEO?
You need to help me.
Gang Chul plans to tell Mother and Father...
that Soo Ho is their eldest grandson.
He called both Soo Ho...
and Mother to Aura Hotel to tell them.
He left for the hotel too.
When?
He just left.
He says he can't deceive Mother any longer.
He won't listen no matter how hard I try.
Nam Joon, help me.
Call Esther...
and tell her to stop the chairman.
I'll stop Soo Ho or the vice chairman somehow.
Hurry.
Something's up.
The way Mother took out her anger on me...
and ran out of here...
What could it be?
This is so frustrating.
It's Mother. I knew it.
Mother.
If you need me to do something, I'll gladly...
Listen.
You need to make sure Mother and Father don't leave the house.
What?
Your father-in-law plans to get Soo Ho and them together...
and tell them that he's their eldest grandson.
What's wrong with him?
He doesn't think about No Ah at all.
If he did...
Stop them.
Stall them for at least an hour.
What do I do?
How am I supposed to stop them?
Plus, I'm supposed to be invisible here.
Did you call?
Thank you.
Arrest them.
I even sent them...
the restraining order so they don't bother us,
but they tried to take my child before my very eyes.
They're committing a crime against a child.
A crime against a child?
You have no right to say that.
We witnessed it.
She tormented him until he fainted.
Tormented him?
Did I hit him or curse at him?
You people tried to kidnap him,
so he fainted from shock. Why are you blaming me?
Don't lie.
You yelled at him until he fainted.
Chan, tell them.
Did Mommy scare you?
Did I hit you?
No.
Chan.
I'll protect you,
so you can tell the truth.
Chan.
Do you like Mommy,
or do you like that lady?
Mommy.
Mommy can't live without me.
Please leave.
You're scaring the child.
That boy...
is our son that woman adopted illegally.
He may have bruises and scars.
Please let us go in and check.
Or please check surveillance videos.
Leave.
As long as there's a restraining order against you,
we can't help you.
Soo Ho. What do we do about poor Gun?
If we leave like this,
she may take it out on him again.
Now that we found out,
she won't be able to hurt him anymore.
Still...
If you go in there now,
you may get arrested.
That will make it harder for us to get Gun back.
Let's go back for now.
It's been two hours already.
I'll wear out the floor at this rate, Mom.
You're far from done.
You need to clean nonstop until you pay back...
all the money you took for classes...
that you never took and lied to us about.
Goodness.
San Ha, Soo Ho, what are you doing home?
What? San Ha and Soo Ho are home?
- Mom, Dad. - Yes?
We just saw Gun, and...
Gun was being...
What happened to Gun?
We think...
Gun has been...
abused by Tiffany all this time.
Who was what by whom?
Abused?
We went...
to see him and witnessed it by chance.
Tiffany was...
shaking him,
screaming at him,
and was hysterical.
And then...
Gun fainted.
What? He fainted?
Are you sure that's what happened?
She said the bad person who hit people...
was her ex-husband...
and that she protected Gun.
I think she took out...
the abuse she received on Gun.
She left out what she did when telling people what happened...
in order to gain their sympathy.
No wonder.
Gun was unnaturally polite for his age...
and seemed timid.
I thought it was weird...
when she left her son with strangers...
and didn't call or come to get him.
She smiled and acted like...
the world's best mom in front of us.
She's a total psycho.
I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
- Wait. - Mom, don't.
You'll only make things worse.
After we saw Gun, we went to see a lawyer.
We have to restrain ourselves right now even if we're upset.
He says...
there was likely a problem when they were in the US too.
The lawyer requested documents...
from the child welfare system and police in the US,
so please wait until we get them.
I feel so bad for our poor Gun.
The thought that he couldn't tell anyone...
and held it in all this time...
It breaks my heart.
It's okay.
Why that...
You need to go back to work, right?
Be careful.
I know this thing with Gun hurts, but be strong.
We need to go...
to Aura Hotel before returning to work.
The vice chairman asked to see Soo Ho and me right away.
He did?
What about?
He said he had something to tell us about my roots.
Your roots?
Do you think...
it's about that, honey?
I wondered whether or not I should tell you...
about this too.
Mom, what is it?
Listen carefully.
From what I can tell,
I think you are...
the vice chairman's...
Never mind. Let's talk when you get back.
That's right.
You should meet him and hear it from him.
How do I stop Grandfather and Grandmother?
Ms. Hong, we're going out.
Oh no. They're leaving.
Who was it?
Who made you cry?
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
- Great-grandma. - Yes?
Please don't leave me alone.
I get scared being home alone.
Oh dear.
I have an important date.
I'm sorry.
Okay, okay.
When I come home,
I'll buy you your favorite cake.
- Cake? - Yes.
But you have to be tough...
and play with Ms. Hong until then. Can you do that?
Don't give in because of food.
Do Ri, cry. Cry!
Okay, Great-grandma.
I'll be waiting.
See you later.
Darn it.
- Grandmother! - Oh my gosh.
What were you doing upstairs?
Why you... Have you been...
hiding upstairs...
like some rat behind our backs?
Grandmother, please help me.
I can't live without No Ah.
Please, please let me stay with him.
I'll be his nanny. Anything. Please.
Ms. Hong, don't just stand there.
Get rid of her.
No!
I can't live without No Ah.
Stop them.
Stall them for at least an hour.
Grandmother, let's talk.
Please hear me out. Give me at least one hour.
Just one hour.
Gosh.
Mr. Chairman.
Fine.
You stay right here...
until we get back.
I'll give you one hour then.
What?
- Let's go. - Okay.
We need to find out whom Gang Chul wants to introduce.
- Yes. - Let's go.
There's a reservation for the vice chairman, Park Gang Chul, right?
He just canceled the reservation.
He did?
What's wrong?
Now that I'm about to hear...
where my roots lie,
I'm nervous.
I tried not to think about them,
but to be honest,
not a day went by when I didn't wonder...
what my parents were like.
I'm sure...
they were good people.
It's obvious from how good a person...
you grew up to be all on your own.
I can't wait to find out...
what they're like.
I want to introduce Gun to them...
once we get him back.
Hold on.
It's the vice chairman.
He changed the location.
Gosh.
- Gosh. - What?
Gosh.
My legs are shaking.
Lean on me.
It's not my body that's tired. I'm scared.
I can't seem to move.
What do you mean?
The only person I want to meet...
is Hae Chul and Yun Ah's son.
Gang Chul knows that.
But he says he'll let me meet that person.
But he said our eldest grandson died.
I know. I do.
But that's what Gang Chul said.
I wonder...
maybe he's alive after all.
My gosh.
And I'm scared that may not be it.
Let's go for now.
That way we'll know whether our eldest grandson is dead or alive.
Okay.
What...
Is that Nam Joon?
Yes.
Hey. Why are you here?
Did you see the vice chairman?
Did he call you here too?
- Yes. - Okay.
You heard he changed the location, right?
Let's hurry. He'll be waiting. Okay?
Mr. Vice Chairman,
did you know Ms. Cho would try to stop you?
Were you trying to be smart?
I'm sorry.
I grabbed Grandmother...
and cried and begged her not to go, but...
Don't follow me.
You're utterly useless.
You stupid idiot.
Mother!
Mother. How could you say that to me?
How could you call me stupid?
You didn't even knock.
Get out.
If you keep treating me this way,
I'll tell Grandmother that Soo Ho is her eldest grandson.
Tell her...
if you want to die.
Mother.
Get out.
My gosh.
What are you doing here?
The vice chairman told Soo Ho and me to come here.
Nam Joon? Why are you here?
He called Nam Joon, too.
Where's Soo Ho?
He was here until a minute ago,
but left because he got a call about an emergency at work.
Yes, okay. I'll leave right now.
Hey. Why did you come down? Where are you going?
Someone spread lies that the factory manufacturing our product is dirty,
so the FDA is heading there.
I need to hurry back.
Now?
Can't you send someone else?
They say it has to be me.
San Ha is upstairs.
Come back. Don't be late.
Okay?
Yes, sir. I'll be right back.
(Esther)
- Hello? - Father, this is terrible.
Mother took a bunch of sleeping pills and was taken to the hospital.
What?
Why isn't he coming?
Hey. Stop drinking.
Why are you drinking so much water?
I'm anxious about what Gang Chul...
wants to tell us.
Gosh.
Hey, hey, Gang Chul. Why are you calling instead of coming?
I got an urgent call about Ae Ra, so I need to go.
Please wait a while longer.
Hurry it up.
Your mother is about to faint.
Something happened...
to Ae Ra, so he's going to check on her.
He says to wait.
I need to go back to the office.
There's a bad rumor going around about Aura Bio's new product.
What was that?
I'll look into it and come back.
Thank you.
- Mr. Ko. - Hello.
Is the FDA here?
They'll be here soon.
Let's check before they get here.
We're being strict about cleanliness so that not a speck of dust gets in.
I don't know why that rumor is going around. I'm so upset.
You know there's a lot of fake news out there.
Let's consider this a good opportunity...
to make another thorough check.
After checking the samples from the line,
we need to check the finalized products in the storage room.
Okay, I'll do that.
Mr. Oh. These products...
Mr. Oh!
I left my phone when I changed, didn't I?
Mr. Oh!
Sir!
How is she?
She didn't take too many sleeping pills,
and we treated her quickly, so she'll be fine.
Okay.
Thank you.
Did you...
take sleeping pills on purpose to stop me from talking?
How long do you think you can hide the truth?
I hid it for 30 years.
If you keep your mouth shut,
I can hide it forever.
You're sickening.
You slit your wrist before...
to get what you want. Now, it's sleeping pills?
You're the one who is sickeningly self-centered.
You want to tell them...
Soo Ho is their eldest grandson to ease your guilty conscience?
Just so you feel better?
Do you recognize...
these cuff links?
If they find out who Soo Ho is,
we're all dead.
I didn't get rid of Yun Ah's baby to save myself.
- Why you... - I did it to save Do Kyung...
whom I was pregnant with,
you, our entire family.
No. That won't work on me anymore.
I'm going to tell them.
Honey, don't do this.
No. Don't tell them.
I said not to stop me anymore!
So why did you upset me?
Nam...
Is anyone there?
Hello?
I'm locked in here!
Let me out!
Mr. Park?
What are you doing here?
I was checking the cleanliness of the factory...
and the door locked on me.
What are you doing here?
I stopped by on my way home because I was worried.
I wanted to check for myself.
This is where you were.
I was looking all over for you.
Are the people from the FDA here?
The called to say...
their visit somewhere else ran late and will come tomorrow.
That's why I was trying to reach you.
Okay.
Please finish up here and go home.
I have an urgent appointment to get to.
Okay.
Mr. Vice Chairman!
Mr. Vice Chairman.
Nam Joon, what are you doing here?
Nam Joon.
I heard Ms. Cho was not well.
Will wonders ever cease.
You used to be sworn enemies,
but now, I'd believe it if you said you were mother and child.
What did you want to say?
Please cancel the meeting you arranged...
with Chairman Park...
and Soo Ho right now.
How did you know about that?
Did Ae Ra send you?
Get out of my way.
You can't go.
Why, why, why... That rude...
He calls us here, and...
Let's go.
Gosh.
- San Ha. - Soo Ho.
