(Episode 37)
(Restricted Area)
It looks like a nail tip.
A nail tip?
It's something women stick to their fingers.
It doesn't come off that easily.
They must have done something rough with their hands.
Send it to Forensics for blood identification.
Okay.
Do you realize what I'm giving up for you?
I am giving up the enemy who killed my parents...
that has been in my head all my life.
So...
don't look for them.
You're unbelievable.
I didn't think you'd come,
but you're really back.
It's a good morning.
I only want to say good things to you.
Have a good day.
So you're saying you'll keep coming?
You don't need to feel uncomfortable.
If I stole your name like you said,
I want to apologize.
It won't happen again.
Welcome.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, thank you.
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Please keep her past...
a secret between us.
Don't worry.
I wouldn't want to worry Chairwoman Jin either.
Excuse us.
Both of you, please come with us to the police station.
What is it for?
We have questions for you regarding Lee Sung Wook's case.
If this is for a testimony, I refuse.
Let's go, Joon Ki.
Detective Han,
we should ask their family...
about their whereabouts then.
Is Chairwoman Jin home?
There's an important meeting in the afternoon.
We'll finish before that.
Ta-da.
Good day, madam.
Stop fooling around.
You're too young to have dementia.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I told you not to lay a foot in this room.
I know.
I know I expire in two months as your husband,
but I'm still your husband.
It's cooler in the mornings and evenings.
The chrysanthemum bloomed,
so I wanted you to feel the change of season.
- Here. - Gosh!
Stop touching me!
If you touch me again, I'm going to report you for sexual harassment.
- Secretary Eun. - Nam Hee.
Yes, Chairwoman Jin.
My blood pressure is rising. Get rid of this thing.
Fine.
I saw your face, so that's enough.
Have a good time.
Please take good care of my queen.
Don't worry.
Thank you. Bye.
It's getting worse.
While you were gone, it got worse.
Dr. Lee said the injection would kick in slowly.
Don't be too nervous.
Did Joon Ki and Sabina go to work?
Yes.
They just left.
There's an interview at 2pm today.
We have to look most beautiful and happy,
so please get things ready.
Yes, madam.
You know Lee Sung Wook, right? How much do you know?
I know everything.
He used to date my wife.
Did you know that when you were at Callas Gallery?
No.
I found out recently.
What do you want to know?
We found evidence of you and your wife's involvement...
at the location where Lee Sung Wook went missing.
They're white today as well.
What are you doing?
We found your nail tip...
at the suspected location of the case.
How do you know this is mine?
I knew you'd say that, so I got this for you.
(Thanks for coming again, Sabina.)
This is a picture of your nails...
that the nail salon posted in the morning...
on the day of the event.
Do you see the date and your autograph?
I bet hundreds of people saw this...
and copied my nails.
Are you interrogating those people as well?
If we find Lee Sung Wook's blood on the nail,
they'll all be excluded.
You were the only one...
with those nails...
on that day, at that time, and location.
How many times do I have to tell you?
We went to a drive-in theater in Pocheon.
Should I tell you what the movie was about?
Your alibi was made up the next day.
Do you have any companies, witnesses,
or credit card receipts from that day?
Why do I have to prove that to you?
If we hit him like you said, bring the evidence.
Evidence that proves us guilty!
Stop accusing the innocent.
Everything points to you as the culprit.
Motive, plan, situation, and evidence all do.
If we find Lee Sung Wook's blood on your nail tip,
you'll be arrested for investigation immediately.
Just so you know.
Hold on.
I just remembered.
There's evidence we were at the theater at that time.
On our way out from the theater,
there was an accident at the intersection.
It was a three-car crash.
You can find that out...
from reading the news.
The driver of the tow truck was a woman.
I saw her when we were stuck in traffic.
She was a woman in her mid to late 30s with a yellow perm.
Is that enough?
That's evidence...
we were there at that time.
How is it? Do I look okay?
Do I look like a happy woman who is loved by her husband?
Should we add more blush so that you look brighter?
Should we?
- I'll do it. - Okay.
I have to do well during the interview...
to help Joon Ki.
He's really stressed about the MOU these days.
He must be happy...
to have a mom like you.
When I heard from the doctor...
that I would lose my vision in two years,
I was most sad about this.
It hurt me the most to think...
that I won't see Joon Ki's face.
If I lost my vision,
I was afraid of being a burden...
to him.
I don't want to make my son suffer.
I only want the best for him.
Will you stay by me...
until I can do everything?
Of course, madam.
I'll protect you until the end...
no matter what happens.
Yes. What's the name?
Lee Mi Sook?
Send me a picture.
Pil Seung.
There's a problem.
There was blood on the nail tip,
but there wasn't enough to detect any DNA.
What now? That was the only direct evidence we had.
That was expected.
But Sabina spilled the truth today.
She said there was an accident...
by the drive-in theater in Pocheon that night.
What if she read it from the news?
She said the driver of the tow truck was a woman.
I just confirmed.
What is this then?
Does that mean those two are innocent?
Or they left Lee Sung Wook's body...
near there.
I'll look for witnesses first.
I'll ask about Choi Joon Ki's car at the junkyard.
Okay.
Honey,
the teacher said to draw our parents' faces.
Why are you just closing your eyes?
If I open my eyes,
I can't remember my dad's face.
I have to close my eyes tight...
to see his face.
Is your dad not home yet?
What should I do?
I can't draw his face with my eyes closed.
Don't worry.
Tell me with your eyes closed. I'll draw his face for you.
That's a good idea.
My dad...
is all round.
He has round eyes,
a round face,
and a round tummy.
It's Shin Nan Sook.
Can we meet?
I had to talk to you in private, so I asked to see you here.
This is my lunch break.
What is it?
After you left that day, I felt horrible.
You stole my daughter's life,
but that's understandable...
because you lived in such a poor condition.
If you were worried...
that Chairwoman Jin would find out out about your daughter's past,
don't worry.
I'll never mention it.
No, this is too serious for me...
to just trust your words.
You didn't watch your mouth this time,
and Joon Ki found out.
So what?
I thought you'd quit,
but you must be tight for money.
It must be uncomfortable for you to see their faces,
but you still showed up for work.
Are you...
asking me to quit?
Here.
I was being generous.
Use this for the time being,
and look for a new job.
I can also find a better job for you.
Thank you for your consideration,
but I won't take it unless I worked for it.
So you'll keep working...
no matter what we say?
Yes.
As long as Chairwoman Jin needs me,
I'll keep working.
"Yes"?
This won't do.
I know you grew up without parents,
but you have no sense of conscience as a human.
What? Are you upset I'm talking about parents you don't have?
If you don't want to hear this again,
behave yourself.
Do you know what my daughter had to go through because of you?
Because of your mindless blabbering,
she almost got a divorce.
Nan Sook.
I know it's your precious daughter, but let's get the facts straight.
She didn't almost get a divorce because of me.
It happened because Sabina hid her past.
What did you say?
How dare you?
Tell me the truth.
We're uncomfortable seeing each other,
but why do you want to keep working there?
What about you?
Why are you trying so hard to get rid of me?
I made myself clear.
I won't say anything about Sabina's past.
You're trying to get rid of me with money.
Is there more to it?
Is that why you are afraid of me?
So are you saying...
that you still believe you're Eun Dong Joo,
and you'll keep searching for the truth that doesn't exist?
Is that why you're still at their house?
No.
I'm not going to look into my past again.
- However, - However?
if there's still some truth to be told,
it'll be revealed at some point.
Whether I want it or not.
No secret ever goes untold in this world.
Right.
Do you want me to tell you one secret you might want to know?
The real secret is...
that there's no secret...
among you, Sabina, and me.
Do you understand?
Is that right?
You don't have to be so vigilant then.
I have to go back for...
Chairwoman Jin's interview.
Why does she think she can act up?
Sabina is the real Eun Dong Joo,
and I stole her name.
Sorry for the long wait.
Is there anything new about Shin Nan Sook?
I submitted a "missing persons" ad in a Busan local paper,
and fortunately, somebody called.
Who was it?
She was an alumna at Gyeongjin Girls' High School.
When Shin Nan Sook dropped out of school,
there were rumors that she was pregnant.
Pregnant?
Please go ahead with the questions.
You two are holding hands.
You are ahead of people in your generation.
How can you keep maintaining a good relationship?
I don't know.
Trust?
I think that's most important in a marriage.
You need the least bit of loyalty...
not to abandon each other no matter what happens.
Throughout our marriage,
we never lost trust for each other.
That's incredible.
Also, you have a new person in your family.
I heard there was an interesting connection.
Please tell me about it.
You must be talking about our daughter-in-law, Sabina.
She has a long, unexpected connection with my family.
Thirty years ago,
when my wife founded MS Supporters Association,
Sabina's father was a patient.
I see.
That's not the end of it.
When Sabina's father passed away 28 years ago,
my wife and Sabina's mother...
met at the funeral.
Sabina's mother was in despair after losing her husband,
and my wife gave her a small present.
What was it?
I was wearing...
Necklace with a cross.
How did you know?
Sorry? Well...
It's a beautiful story. Sabina probably told her.
Then that necklace became a decisive factor for the marriage.
Isn't it an incredible coincidence?
That small five-year-old child...
became our daughter-in-law.
Pregnant? In high school?
That's why she dropped out.
Her friend saw Nan Sook coming out of an obstetrics clinic...
with an older man. She was very pregnant.
An older man?
Eun Jeong Soo is close to her age.
Maybe it was her father.
He was an alcoholic, so he was not interested in his daughter.
Anyhow, she was almost at term, so she must have given birth.
I searched all the hospitals in Busan,
and I didn't find any birth records.
Then is it a false rumor?
Or...
she gave birth somewhere else.
Somewhere else?
Then that baby...
should be around 33 by now.
That's close to Sabina's age.
That's Dong Joo's age too.
What should I do?
Should I keep advertising...
or stop here?
Keep advertising, but...
change the picture.
This is a picture of Sabina and Dong Joo when they were young.
If she gave birth to one of them,
somebody should know.
Okay.
Stop pacing. You're making me dizzy.
If I don't do this, I'm going to go crazy and run out.
Why would you go crazy?
Everything is working out.
Working out?
What's working out?
We're surrounded by enemies.
That shameless Dong Joo is staying by mother-in-law's side,
and the police are after us too.
They even found evidence at the scene.
If they find Lee Sung Wook's blood on my nail tip,
then I get arrested for investigation.
Arrested for investigation?
Tell them to stop the nonsense.
Even if they find blood, they'll never know that it's yours.
Besides is there a body or a witness?
They don't even have direct evidence.
They're writing a novel.
Time is on our side.
Time will cover everything up,
so don't worry about it.
Then what about Dong Joo?
Do we just watch a time bomb ticking away?
If she says a word to Mother...
Then what should we do? Do we kill her or keep her alive?
She said she'll keep quiet,
so trust her.
Mom.
She's not the problem right now. Joon Ki is.
Keep a close watch on him before he breaks down...
and causes a commotion.
Use all means and hold him steady...
so that he doesn't get swayed.
Gosh.
Why is life so complicated?
Life is a maze.
When you think you're out, there's a new wall.
When will this be over?
I told you.
Taller trees get hit by stronger winds.
If you don't want that,
you have to live as small branches that brush against people's feet.
If that's what you want, it's not too late.
Okay.
Like you said,
I'll use all means to hold Joon Ki steady first.
I gave her my necklace with a cross.
May the divine force be with you.
How old are you?
- I'm five. - Really?
I'm going to host a summer camp...
called "Golden Garden" for families of MS patients.
I'll send you an invitation, so please come and enjoy.
Will you come?
Dong Joo.
What is it?
I'm sorry for the short notice.
No, I was passing by on my way downtown.
I hesitated.
Detective Cha didn't want to keep looking into our past,
but I kept on remembering.
Dong Joo,
if you cover everything up, Chairwoman Jin may be put in danger.
Sabina and her mother are capable of doing anything.
You must reveal the truth for Chairwoman Jin too.
What is it?
I keep remembering old memories.
Something weird happened today too.
Something weird? What is it?
Chairwoman Jin told the story...
of how she met Shin Nan Sook 28 years ago.
Where she gave her the necklace with a cross...
and invited her to the Golden Garden?
I remembered that...
even before she brought it up.
Shin Nan Sook said I stole Sabina's memory,
but that's even before I met her.
There's something doubtful, and I'm looking into it too.
Then can I be...
the real Eun Dong Joo?
I'm not sure yet.
I'll reveal the truth, so give me some time.
That was a great photo of you two.
Is this a flash meeting of the thieves?
One is a thief who stole somebody's husband,
and another is...
a thief who stole somebody's name.
What would Mother say if she saw this picture?
Her new secretary whom she trusts so much...
secretly met her old secretary who stabbed her in the back.
I knew it.
Outsiders are not trustworthy.
Do whatever you want.
She knows I was the one...
who introduced Secretary Eun, so it won't matter.
How dare you come back here again after getting fired?
If you keep getting in my way,
you know what I'm going to do, right?
I don't want to go that far,
so watch yourself.
Did you see that?
They'll do anything they want.
Be careful.
You too.
(Episode 38 will air shortly.)
(Episode 38)
You, Ms. Lioness.
Are you really not going to work?
Can't you cut me some slack?
My body aches all over including my heart.
You shouldn't have been so giving with your heart then.
We all have our places, you know.
Ki Young is way out of your league.
Ms. Kang.
I know my life is a mess but you don't have to add to it.
If you're going to make fun of someone...
who just lost out on her job and love,
- leave this room. - Listen to this.
Leave already!
Get a grip on yourself.
This is my room, you know.
You're the one who should leave.
Unbelievable.
Who do you think you are?
Ms. Kang, could we have the room?
Have the both of you lost it now?
Why am I being asked to leave my own room?
Okay, fine. I'll give you space,
so put everything on the table and sort this out once and for all.
Are you kidding me?
Are you all right?
Mi Joo, let's talk.
We can't live under the same roof mad at each other.
We broke up because you wanted to,
but let's at least be comfortable...
Hold on.
Are you seriously blaming me for the breakup?
I wasn't the reason.
We broke up because you're a coward, you mutt.
Stop calling me that. It's insulting, you know.
At least you know that you're a mutt.
I've had enough of your crudeness.
Then get out of here!
Fine. I'll leave just like you want.
We'll keep being uncomfortable around each other.
And just like that, you leave?
You lousy mutt.
Of course.
I never lucked out with parents so why would I get lucky with men?
Instead of drinking and dating,
I'm going to earn money like crazy.
Choi Joon Ki's scrapped car is probably in Yangju.
- Yangju? - It'll turn up about tomorrow...
after a complete search of the area.
Ms. Kang, I'll be doing the deliveries too now,
so I want a raise.
Quiet.
What now? Did something happen?
This will only make you explode,
so just go home.
What's this about?
- Just... - No, wait.
That obnoxious little mutt.
Don't stop me, all right?
I'm taking him down today.
Hold on.
Get a grip on yourself.
Both of them are skilled in martial arts.
Why is this always the story of my life?
The guys who I like never like me back.
Goodness.
Gosh.
The Little Chestnut of Mok-dong started to count sheep.
One,
two,
three,
four...
Why does Little Chestnut only count sheep?
Why not something else?
Aren't you sleepy?
Sa Rang, I'm sure his neck is hurting.
He probably wants to see Dong Joo anyway,
so let's go to sleep.
You perceptive little boy.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep. Proceed.
Proceed.
But I'm not sleepy.
- Dong Joo! - Hey.
Sa Rang, please lie down.
Lie back down...
and count some sheep more.
Five,
six,
seven,
eight...
Gosh, they just won't go to sleep.
Now you know how hard it is to raise kids.
Where are you with the search of their father?
I'll tell you once we have something so don't worry.
My throat dried up from counting sheep.
Want some beer?
No, I'm still full from dinner.
I see.
How about some ice cream then?
I said I'm full.
- How about a ring? - I'm full...
I know you're full, but try this on.
(Ring)
Are you kidding me?
When will you stop joking about these things?
It's not a joke.
Choosing that wasn't easy, you know.
Whatever.
I'll decline, so enjoy the ring all by yourself.
Wait. How did you do that?
It's magic.
I'm really curious. How did you do it?
Magic.
My gosh.
Do you know why I'm giving you that?
Of course.
We're promising to love each other forever.
Gosh, you can be so dumb.
That's not what these rings stand for.
What is it then?
It's protection. On the streets at night...
Unbelievable.
Thank you.
This house used to be empty,
but you make it feel like home.
It's warm, safe, and brings me smiles.
Right.
I finally get...
how wonderful it is to hear kids sleep.
What's gotten into me?
I was really never interested in marriage or kids.
Is that so? Well, I've always wanted...
to marry a man, have many kids,
and live happily ever after.
What?
Sister, I'm disappointed.
What? Why?
You just proposed to me.
A marriage proposal should never be that offhand.
I dreamed of this moment, you know.
Book a restaurant, get balloons, and go down on one knee.
I'd like you to sing while playing the piano too.
You just can't help yourself, can you?
Was our last kiss your first kiss ever?
This makes it my second.
We found evidence of you and your wife's involvement...
at the location where Lee Sung Wook went missing.
Mother's starting to worry.
We should head home.
You go first.
I still have some things to wrap up.
What's wrong?
Are you still worried about what happened at the police station?
It's only a matter of time...
before they find out about us.
Don't worry.
All they have is circumstantial evidence.
The police are swinging their bats hoping to scare us.
If they had crucial evidence, they wouldn't have let us go home.
No,
I regret everything.
I should've reported the accident that night.
Joon Ki...
Head home without me.
Nothing you say will get through to me right now.
I'm barely hanging on, so don't say anything...
and just leave me alone.
Joon Ki, don't be this way.
At times like this, it's important that we behave...
as if everything is normal.
Let's go home.
Do as I say...
and everything will work out.
I'll drive us home, so get some rest.
Let's go.
I told you to leave me alone!
Do as you say?
What good did that do me?
If you hadn't run out of the gallery that night...
No, if only you didn't stop me from reporting the accident...
Actually, this is because you chose to get mixed up...
with that Lee Sung Wook.
You said you'd try.
You told me to be patient.
It won't happen right away,
but you said you'd try to be my steady rock.
Is this it?
Is this you being patient and trying your best...
to be there for me?
If you're going to blame me for my past all the time,
let's end it.
That's the least you can do for the woman...
you once loved.
Sabina!
Sabina, wait.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry. I really am.
I won't do this again.
I now know...
I can't live without you.
No matter how difficult it is,
I'll keep trying.
Don't worry and I'm sorry.
It's all right. Everything will work out.
Consider this your last chance.
Thank you, Nan Hee.
Nan Hee,
we probably can't go back to how things were,
but I'll promise you this.
If something ever happens to your precious Joon Ki,
I'll take the fall...
and live the rest of my life in seclusion.
Just thinking about how I might never see you again...
breaks my heart.
Touch my hand and I'll report you for sexual harassment.
Right.
You don't want me holding your hand.
Got it.
I will never do anything that you hate anymore.
I love you, Nam Hee.
What... What on earth are you doing?
Your hands are off-limits, so I'm rubbing your feet.
Let go.
- Let go of it! - No.
Can't you at least allow your feet to your husband?
- I told you to let go. - No way.
- You! - My gosh.
Nam Hee!
Dae Sung!
Do anything sick like this again...
and I'll report you as a pervert.
Okay, fine. Your feet are off-limits too.
Where else can I touch then?
Let's see...
Unbelievable.
It's as if he's deliberately trying to get on my nerves.
Mid Eum, what brings you by?
Why not play some soccer on the weekend?
Sa Rang went to a friend's house, so I came here to help Ms. Kang.
You should see how nimble his hands are.
He's as good as any adult.
Ask her a lot of money for your service.
She already gave me some.
You sweet boy.
Grandma,
- you know Jin Nam Hee, right? - Of course.
She was your father's patient,
so we met a lot.
Why didn't you keep in touch?
There was nothing to keep in touch about.
We only have your father in common,
and it's painful for the both of us.
It'd be like torturing ourselves.
I see.
You should try and make contact again.
Why would you suddenly say that out of the blue?
You'll soon meet her.
What?
Anyway, I'm off.
- Have a good day. - Sure.
My gosh.
Nice house, nice weather.
It's a perfect day to wreak havoc.
Hold on. What do you mean?
Weren't you just dropping me off?
Sister, what's on Chairwoman Jin's schedule today?
Get going already.
It's time for her morning exercise.
Really? Then I should doll up a bit.
How do I look? Good?
Ms. Jin, are you off for your morning workout?
Yes, good morning to you too.
So who's this?
I'm a friend. I heard a lot about you.
- From whom? - My grandmother.
And who's your grandmother?
She's Kang Nam Doo.
Are you Doctor Cha's son?
Yes, I'm Cha Pil Seung.
My goodness.
You're all grown.
- Let's go inside. We should talk. - Right.
I can't live without you.
No matter how difficult it is, I'll keep trying.
(Sleeping pills)
Honey.
Can you wake up?
Right. What time is it?
Mother said we had a visitor and that we should say hello.
Who'd come to the house on a weekend?
Like I said, we need to act normal.
After a while, this will all blow over.
You can do this, right?
I'll try.
Gosh, what a fancy house.
Don't you remember?
You came by with your father a few times.
Really?
You and Joon Ki would have fun like brothers.
He'll be happy to see you.
Oh, I see.
It's been 28 years, so you might not recognize each other.
Oh, there he is.
Joon Ki, there's someone you should meet.
- Who is it? - It must be a family friend.
He's an old friend of the family. Pil Seung?
Hello.
Ms. Jin just informed me that we used to play around the house...
like brothers.
Mind if I address you casually?
It's nice to see you.
Why have you frozen up? Has seeing him again made you shy?
They even found evidence at the scene.
If they find Lee Sung Wook's blood on my nail tip,
then I get arrested for investigation.
It's me.
Mr. Kang, I'm afraid I'll need your service again.
Sure, sounds good.
There's no other way.
I must show what I have up my sleeve.
What?
You're a detective?
I got into the business to catch my parents' killer,
but I'm now after all hit-and-run drivers, I guess.
Are you currently investigating a hit-and-run accident then?
Yes.
This culprit is particularly nasty though.
After the hit-and-run accident, the driver hid the body.
We can't locate the victim.
Goodness.
So? Do you have any suspects?
I will soon.
We found the car that was scrapped after the accident.
My gosh.
What on earth is wrong with you all?
- His hand must've slipped. - It went down the wrong pipe.
Hit-and-run drivers think that scrapping cars solves it all,
but there are yards that actually manage them.
Now that we've found the car,
we'll solve the case once Forensics go over it.
I should clean up.
I'll help.
Can you tell me where the bathroom is?
Follow me.
- Please, excuse me. - Sure.
I have a bad feeling about him.
He seems like the type to betray others.
Shut it. I doubt he's worse than you.
What are the odds?
Stop being a baby and put on a straight face.
You're practically telling them that you're the culprit.
What am I supposed to do?
There's a detective in our house!
If my mom finds out...
This was his goal all along.
There's no physical evidence,
so he wants to coax a confession out of you.
They found the scrapped car. What are we going to do?
If that's true,
then he would've arrested us instead of coming here for tea.
I don't know.
This is all too confusing.
Please.
Calm down.
Nothing is happening so calmly let this pass.
It'll eventually blow over, okay?
What are you doing? Get out of here.
Money sure has its perks. They're all designer brands.
This isn't the time for fashion.
Take your investigation back to the station.
You can't do this at someone's house.
You'll shock the chairwoman, so get out of here.
This...
Do you remember this?
This?
By the way,
we heard tires screeching earlier.
It was from your car, right?
It's the suit he wore that night.
He wore this on the night of the accident, but why is it new?
Did he buy another one?
Because it was stained with blood while he was moving the body.
No way...
What are you doing?
Don't you know this is considered rude?
How dare you come in here?
Get out of here, right now.
There's no need to be hostile.
I lost my way looking for the bathroom.
You went from looking for the bathroom...
to going through my closet?
This...
is the suit you wore that night,
but it has a tag.
So what?
Those who like clothes...
buy a few of the same ones.
I see.
Then where's the actual jacket you wore that day?
Since you like it so much,
you must still have it.
Leave. Get out of here!
Let's go.
What are you doing anyway? Come on.
Okay, fine. I'm going.
The chairwoman's fond of me, so I'll come around often.
Take care then.
Yes?
What?
Okay, I'll be right there.
The scrapped car was more than enough,
but now we even have a witness.
