03x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Ro Na will get disqualified
along with Eun Byeol.

I knew it was you.

Eun Byeol is so dumb.
She's nothing without her mom.

By the way, whom did you ask
to do this for you?

That's a secret.

Jenny seems to have
failed the exam too.

That means I might be
the only one who gets in.

Not everyone gets into SNU.

But you'll get accepted
because you're my daughter.

Do you know why
your mother's so nice to you guys?

Why?

She wants to become
your sole guardian...

so she can take the inheritance
of your biological mother.

She's not that kind of person.

I'm sorry. But it's true.

She's related to
the death of your biological mother.

Really?

Did Logan really k*ll
our biological mom?

Because of Mom?

- Excuse the mess, everyone.
- Sorry for the mess.

We're sorry.

Su Ryeon?

You're Baek Jun Ki, aren't you?

Let me go. I'm going to k*ll him.

Baek Jun Ki, who are you really?

My daughter's there.

I can't let her watch her own father
die right before her eyes.

Maybe it was not her.

Dad. What's wrong?

Nothing. Let's eat.

Why are you stopping me?

Who are you to interfere in my life?

I'm Shim Su Ryeon.

Shim Su Ryeon?

Where have you been?
Why did you only show up now?

Do you know how much
I was looking for you?

What were you doing when Logan died?

Answer me!

Logan's brother came over.

- When?
- A while ago.

Why is Logan's family
coming into our home?

What was Mom's relationship
with him?

It bothers me
the more I think about it.

Would you do something for me?

Drink. It'll calm you down.

I was scared.

I came to Korea because of Logan.

But he died before my very eyes.

I was afraid
I'd be framed for his m*rder.

That's why I ran away.

I'm sorry.

I have so many questions.

Why did Logan bring you to me?

What was Mr. Baek like?

My real name is Joo Dan Tae,

not Baek Jun Ki.

Joo Dan Tae?

You're Joo Dan Tae?

Mr. Baek worked for our family
ever since my father...

started a business in Korea.

I looked up to him
like a big brother.

Not long after my family
moved to Japan,

Mr. Baek showed up
in the middle of the night.

Why...

How could you...

This isn't you.

You're a good kid.

I don't care about being good!

Just give me my money!

Open the safe now!

You scumbag.

Honey!

Mom...

There was another rat in the house.

There you are.

Jun Ki!

Tell me the code to the safe. Now.

Then I'll let you live.

- You...
- 1-9!









You loser.

[Korean name, Baek Jun Ki]

[Korean name, Baek Jun Ki]

How could he do something
so heinous?

When I came to,

I was in a lockdown ward
of a mental hospital.

The police thought he was dead...

since he was never found...

although they had an APB out on him.

But he had changed his name.

He took my name, Joo Dan Tae.

His identity was perfect
when I married him.

He said he graduated
from Tokyo University,

and that his parents
who ran a resort in Osaka...

passed away tragically.

He even had many guests come
from Japan to our wedding.

Was all of that a lie?

I'm sure he hired them.

Since Jun Ki was an orphan.

He used my identity to marry you.

We could've given him
as much money as he wanted.

Why did he k*ll my parents?
They did nothing wrong!

I'm going to k*ll him.

Is that why...

Logan brought you here?

He said he'd expose Jun Ki
and his real past...

to make sure
he can never make a comeback.

But...

I saw Jun Ki here that day.

It was definitely him.

He was disguised as an old man,

but those devilish eyes...

were the same from 27 years ago.

Old man?

I never forgot it even for a moment.

That rat k*lled Logan. I saw it.

He escaped from prison.
I'm sure of it.

Then that creepy metallic sound...

was Dan Tae?

I couldn't do anything.

I thought he'd try to k*ll me again.

I should've come to you sooner.

I found this at the scene.

It's the ring
Logan planned to give you.

It seemed like...

he cared for you a lot.

He was excited the entire time
about proposing to you.

Are you steadfast...

about what you said?

That you'll k*ll Dan Tae.

Of course.

I'll make him pay for what he did.

Now that I'm back as Baek Jun Ki,

I will make him remember...

everything he did to me one by one.

Can you sing for your exam tomorrow
after crying all day?

Your voice is all over the place.

Why does everyone suspect me?

What kind of idiot
would put her phone there...

knowing she'd get found out?

Someone did it on purpose
to make sure you failed.

It was Joo Seok Kyung.

Didn't she act weirdly in the hall?

Seok Kyung sang before you,
so she left ahead of time.

The only people left behind
were Eun Byeol and Ms. Jin.

Ms. Jin?

Everyone, attention.

You are not allowed to bring in
cell phones or voice recorders.

Please take off your headbands...

or any other accessories
that could make you stand out.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Seoul National University
isn't the only university out there.

Focus on the rest of
your performance exam.

I will not let this incident drop.

Drink up.

[Playing recording]

Jenny doesn't know that...

you went to jail for m*rder, right?

Of course not.

I'll keep my lips sealed forever.

No. No.

My dad's not that kind of man.

No! He's not!

No, my dad's not like that.

He's not!

[Opyeong District Development Site]

Did you check the security cameras?

Don't worry. I dealt with them.

The pottery.

I'm carrying them. Let's get to it.

- Let's go.
- It's this way.

[Opyeong District Development Site]

So... This is it?

Come along.

It's deeper than it looks.
Watch your footing.

Watch the pottery!

Kyu Jin!

Who made those lousy stairs?

What a dreadful mess they are.

Put them down.

Toady, toady

I'll give you Opyeong
if you give me Cheonsoo

[Opyeong District Development Site]

Nice going, Dong Pil!

Sirs, I brought you cold sikhye.

Have a glass.

Thank you.

Yoon Chul.

- Show your behind.
- Okay.

I like how you act, little brother.

Thank you, sir.

So, did Eun Byeol do okay
at her performance exam?

She had an exam?

Oh, dear. Now that
you don't live at Hera Palace,

the ordinary man knows nothing.

I haven't talked to her in a while.

Aren't you being too harsh
on your only daughter?

Wouldn't Eun Byeol be upset?

She would be.

Your twins will both
get into Seoul National University.

Congratulations in advance, sir.

- Thanks.
- SNU, my foot.

That's out the window.

Oh, gosh.

You don't know, do you?

Seok Hoon skipped
his performance exam.

What did you say?

Min Hyuk's just like me
and is always in the know,

and your son Seok Hoon...

ran off somewhere
without taking the exam.

Why would the studious boy do that?

You're in no position
to worry about someone else's kid.

Your daughter Jenny...

failed her exam
because she didn't even sing.

Why wouldn't Jenny sing?

Why wouldn't she?

Why?

How would I know that?

Be quiet!

Jenny, you can't go on your own.
I need to come with you.

You'll be busy
with two exams to take today.

We'll be rushed.

How will we get
from Seocho to Sinchon in time?

Should we hire a motorcycle?

I'm going alone. Don't tag along.

Wait, Jenny.
What's wrong with your voice?

Did you cry? Do you have a cold?

Jenny, you're still here. I made it.

I'll drive you. Let's go.

Honey, bad news.

Jenny's gone hoarse.
What should we do?

You were on a high for a while.

What happened to you?

Jenny.

Is something wrong?

What is it? Yesterday...

What?

I heard you didn't sing
at the SNU exam.

Is that true?

You didn't sing? What's that about?

Are you crazy?

You'd been waiting for that day
for 11 years.

Jenny. It's okay,
you can talk to Daddy.

- My goodness.
- Jenny.

You brat. How dare you
do that to your dad?

How long were you
going to make a fool of me for?

Did you think it would be a secret
if you didn't tell me forever?

Your passport.

There were no stamps in it
for the past six years.

Dubai?

How can you fly to Dubai
with an expired passport?

Which old passport did you look at?

Dad sent your presents...

from his construction site in Dubai.

Stop it already!

Are you really a m*rder*r?

Did you k*ll someone?

Jenny, there was this situation.

What situation justifies m*rder?

How many things
are you hiding from me?

Mom works at a bathhouse
and Dad's a m*rder.

How many more things are there
that I can be bullied for?

I thought our family
could live happily now.

What is this?

You ruined everything!

Who told you? Who was it?

Why does that matter? It's all true.

It matters. Who told you?

Jenny doesn't know...

that you went to jail
for m*rder, right?

If Joo Seok Kyung knows,

the whole school knows.

Joo Dan Tae, that scumbag.
I've had enough of it.

I will slit his throat...

- and go back to prison.
- No!

Don't stop me. I will make him pay.

If you won't do it, I will.

Did I say I won't do anything?

- I will do it.
- But when?

Give me time.

Until I find proof.

What proof?

Proof that...

Joo Dan Tae k*lled that woman.

Not me.

Where is that proof?

Under the Hera Palace fountain.

The body's still there.

- What?
- So...

wait.

I will...

dig her back up.

Mr. Baek.

sh**t. What do you want?

Darn it.

- Logan?
- I'm back.

No!

No!

Logan, that punk.

He's torturing me even in death.

Do you like it?

I thought it would suit you.

Thank you.

I will never forgive him.

I will make him pay...

the price of your life.

Seok Hoon.

Why didn't you take
the exam yesterday?

Are you really not going to college?

I want to go to college.

Just not Seoul National University.

I think dad bribed someone.

I don't want to get
admitted like that.

Why did he do that?
You would have gotten in anyway.

He probably wanted to make sure.

Isn't that what parents are like?

Do anything for their children.

Did you ask him for something?

What are you implying?

I can get into SNU by myself, too.

You're not the only smart one here.

I think something's going on between
Seok Kyung and your father.

I heard Ro Na got
disqualified yesterday.

I'll keep an eye on Seok Kyung.

I won't tolerate it any longer...

if she keeps on behaving like that.

What are you doing here?

I called him.

I need him to run an errand for me.

I already called Assemblyman Bong.

He'll know when you drop it off.

Got it.

You wanted me to smile like this
when we're around other people.

How do you feel, coming back
for the first time in a while?

It was nice when you lived here, no?

When you would bluff and show off...

without ever really fitting in.

My current life suits me better.

I heard you live in
a one-room apartment now?

I told you I could
help you get a studio.

I prefer not having anything.

No family, no house. You don't
have to worry about me, Chairman.

Don't forget to eat.

I hear convenience store meals
are pretty good nowadays.

Thank you, Chairman.
I'll put it to good use.

How was that?

Didn't want to be the only one
enjoying that spectacle.

You finally found the right job.

Joo Dan Tae's dog.
It really suits you.

You won't even talk to me?

You'll pay for having betrayed...

Eun Byeol and me.

Curse me all you want.

I'm on the brink now anyway.

No one will stay by my side now
other than Chairman Joo.

You better hold on tight
to that string then.

I may cut it off.

Or push you off the brink.

Was Cheon Seo Jin behind...

what happened
at the examination hall?

I don't think it was her.

Given that Eun Byeol
also didn't do well.

Then who was it?

There's one person I suspect...

but there's no reason for her
to do that to Eun Byeol.

Could it have been Seok Kyung?

She must be very upset...

since her SNU free pass
became invalid.

I want to say no,

but I can't.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

Nothing's for certain as of now.

Ro Na must be dejected.

It was difficult for her
to change her mind.

I know.

How's work?

I'm trying my best.

We have quite a lot of customers.

Logan's money is gone.

Ten billion dollars.

Do you know anything about that?

Me?

How would I know?

That much money.

I was never that close with Logan.

You know that.

When I go back to America,

I will receive an inheritance
under Seol A's name.

About ten billion dollars.

With that money, I was thinking
I could establish a foundation...

that supports talented
kids like Seol A.

Can you...

take on that money for me?

What?

Why would I?

You can do it yourself.

Su Ryeon is back.

You can ask her, too.

I'm asking because I can't.

Why is that?

No, thanks. Why are you
doing this to me?

How do you trust me?

I might run away with that money.

That would be too bad,
but it would still be my fault...

for having misjudged a character.

But the Yoon Hee I see...

has both good and evil.

That's why I want it to be you.

It's something only you can do.

This is the key to my
secret safe in Korea.

[Seoul Bank VVIP]

I won't tell you...

how to use that money. However...

I have one thing to ask for.

What is it?

Don't be alarmed.

You can never, ever repeat
what I'm about to say...

to Su Ryeon.

A bloodline of hers...

may be alive.

I have to work now, Su Ryeon.
Let's talk later.

Yoon Hee.

You don't...

keep any secrets from me, do you?

Nothing like that.

What do I have to hide from you?

You still don't trust me?

I do.

I trust you, Yoon Hee.

Ten billion dollars?

How much is that?
Thousand, million...

Ten trillion won?

Ten trillion?

After Logan died,

ten trillion won just disappeared?

Exactly.

No doubt.

Whoever k*lled Logan
also took that money.

That's why they k*lled Logan.

There must be a reason why...

they k*lled a rich American heir.

Wait a minute.

Did Chairman Joo do this?

Why?

Did Chairman Joo k*ll Logan?

What are you saying?

Don't pick on innocent people.

This is what my gut tells me.

Logan was totally
scammed by Yoon Hee.

Yoon Hee took it?

If not,
where did she get the money...

to buy a place and open a shop?

The deposit alone is crazy high.

It looked like Su Ryeon
suspected her too earlier.

Wow. She has guts.

How did she swipe


Anyway,
I wonder if Chairman Joo knows.

We've identified the person
who came to Korea with Logan Lee.

What does he do?

He's a Korean-Japanese
who lives in Japan.

Japan?

His name is Baek Jun Ki, right?

Yes, sir.
I think he's still in Seoul.

Locate him right now.

I want to see his face.

It couldn't be. No... Right?

There's no way.

Share all my performance videos...

that have never been disclosed
on web portals.

Also, hire some people
who can publish...

favorable articles and comments.

"The Prima Donna who Faced
an Unfortunate End."

That would be an appropriate title.

Let everyone know
that Cheon Seo Jin is back.

Yes, ma'am.

By the way,

Eun Byeol got disqualified
at SNU's performance test...

for cheating.

Disqualified? Why?

Ro Na had put her cell phone
inside Eun Byeol's pocket.

She's been disqualified too.

I doubt Ro Na did
something so cheeky.

Someone must have wanted to get
rid of the two at the same time.

It's Joo Dan Tae,
that jerk's doing again.

Jenny!

What do you think you're doing?
Are you out of your mind?

Let go! Let go of me!

Why are you doing this?

Why would you k*ll yourself
when I haven't?

I got unfairly disqualified,
but I'm staying strong.

So why would you go
and try to k*ll yourself?

I can't live like you!

I can't stand living
as a m*rder*r's child.

What are you talking about?

Tell me, Jenny.
Did something happen?

My dad k*lled a person.

And he's been in prison for that.

What if the kids find out?

I'll be bullied again.

I'll be treated like vermin.

I don't want to go back to that.

I already know what it is like.

I'd rather die.

Don't worry.

There's no way they'll find out.

Joo Seok Kyung knows.

It's only a matter of time
before everyone at school knows.

Is that why you messed up
the test yesterday?

How did you deal with it?

I'm so scared and anxious.
It's driving me crazy.

I fear being bullied...

more than failing to go to college.

This is a nightmare.
I'm losing my mind.

Don't cry.
You didn't do anything wrong.

You have a test tomorrow too.
You'll lose your voice.

We can't let them walk
all over us anymore.

I'd love to subscribe
to some newspapers,

but I don't know how to sign up.

Can you do it for me?
For the next 200 years.

Look, the director came himself.

Are you planning to get
into politics later?

Let's have a drink together
and work hard.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

You see, I want
provocative headlines.

- Throw in some quotation marks too.
- Quotation marks.

- "Cultural resources."
- "Cultural resources."

- That's the keyword.
- Okay.

Okay. Good.

["Discovery of Cultural Assets
Puts Development on Hold"]

Here you go.

With the Opyeong District
development put on hold,

there's no land left available
in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

But Cheonsoo District is
up for development at any time.

So please show some support
in the Assembly.

- Of course.
- We can do anything for you.

- You can rest assured.
- Don't worry about it.

- Let's drink.
- Sure.

Thank you again.

That was easy.

So when will it be announced?

They're going to bide their time.

I've taken care of the reporters,

so don't worry about the press.

If Cheonsoo District is reselected,

Cheong A Constructions
will be the constructor.

The stock prices will soar,

and we'll be raking in money.

But you don't own much land
in Cheonsoo District, do you?

I thought Na Ae Gyo
sold all the land to us.

I'll have to take everything back...

from Shim Su Ryeon, that wench,
one by one.

Let's celebrate with a drink.
We should call Ha Yoon Chul too.

I heard something. When Logan died,

a huge amount of money
disappeared. Did you know?

What are you talking about?

Logan had left his money
with Oh Yoon Hee temporarily.

So when he died unexpectedly,

all his money apparently became
Oh Yoon Hee's.

Ten billion dollars.

Oh Yoon Hee? Ten billion?

Ten billion.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[Cheon Seo Jin's
Special Performance in the US]

What are you doing out here?
It's cold.

Ms. Jin.

What were you doing?

Nothing.

Why were you watching this?

A video of Mom's performance
popped up.

It's my first time watching it.

Give me my phone.

I can't even see my mom now.
At least let me...

"Mom"? Who's your mom?

This woman left you. Did you forget?

I'm the one with you now.
I'm your real mom.

Me. Jin Bun Hong!

What did I say will happen
if you betray me?

You stupid girl.
How many times did I tell you?

I said not to mention your mom.

Is that so hard?

How will you get into college
with that stupid brain?

Don't make me lose my mind again.
Understood?

Answer me!

Understood?

It's cold.

What if you catch a cold?

Let's go home.

Mom will make you
a hot bowl of udon.

- Bravo!
- Bravo!

Good work everyone.

Tonight is on me, so let's drink.

After being in the slammer
and returning to society,

I realized how sweet liquor tasted.

This is honey in there.

If I were still stuck there,
I would've k*lled you...

- We were there too.
- We were all there with you.

Dan Tae!

How long has it been?



It has been so long.

Do I know you?

It's me, Jun Ki. Baek Jun Ki.

Did you forget about me?

Baek Jun Ki?

That's right.

Who is he?

Who is this new face
who's so close to Chairman Joo?

Hello.

I was surprised to see someone
I liked so much.

May I join you for a bit?

Hey. Wait. I don't think...

I lived in the same house as Dan Tae
ever since I was a child.

We're like brothers.

Isn't that right?

I'm Baek Jun Ki.

You can call me "Mr. Baek"
for short.

Mr. Baek.

You have a great personality.

It has been a while
since I've been in Korea,

so I really wanted to see you.

What are the chances,
seeing you here?

Have a drink.

It's the first time...

since Japan, right?

It must be fate. Don't you agree?

Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Baek.

He never tells us anything
about his time in Japan.

We were super curious.

So? Will you tell us some stories?

Shall I?

Let's drink.

It'll take a while.

Let's chat.

When Dan Tae was in Japan...

Wait, let's talk.

Shall we?

He must have a lot to say
since it has been a while.

I'll be right back.

- What's your problem?
- Stop that.

You'll wrinkle my suit.

You know I hate wrinkled clothes.

Anyway, you've changed a lot.
You're unrecognizable.

Your shoes are spotless.

How did you get out?
Who let you out?

Why?

Did you think I'd rot away
in that dark mental hospital...

for the rest of my life?

Is that why you took my name
so confidently?

After k*lling my parents too.

How could you think of living
as Joo Dan Tae? You're shameless.

I asked how you got out!

A man named Logan came to see me.

He said someone stole my identity...

and was living a lavish life.

He asked if I was bitter.

I never imagined you were living
like this as a chairman.

Talk about a success story.

I can't see that beggar from before
anywhere.

You must not like hearing that.

But I think those people in there
would really want to know.

Shut it.

Thank the stars you're alive
and get lost.

You won't get a second miracle.

Come on, now!

I'm big enough to block that much.

You seem to be in a bad mood,

so I'll leave for now.

See you again.

There's a lot I want to talk about.

Darn it.

Follow the guy walking out now.

Find out where he lives
and whom he sees.

Darn it.

You lost him?

You idiot. You call that an excuse?

I want your resignation tomorrow!

You're finally home.

You...

Why are you here?

Seo Jin, you have a beautiful home.

What a phenomenal view.

I wanted to live in a place
like this.

Hey. You...

What is wrong with you?

I know we said
we'd stay out of each other's lives,

but you should've given me
a heads up.

Seo Jin, are you sure
I can stay here for a few days?

I know Dan Tae said yes,

but I hate being a burden.

What are you talking about?

When did I say yes?

Well... It's only for a few days.
How could we say no?

Did you forget
what it says in our manual?

"We smile kindly to each other
when others are around."

I'm doing my best
to be nice to your guest.

Thanks a bunch.

Let's discuss the details tomorrow.

I'm very tired.

You are the b*mb.

Hey, are you insane?

How dare you come here?

Please watch how you speak.

My heart still beats like crazy
whenever I see you.

because I'm reminded of that day.

I want to rest too.

You should rest as well.

You don't look well.

Should I take that room?

You audacious brat.
You have the nerve to threaten me?

How dare you come here?

Do you think you can...

How is it going?

I expected this much...

when I came here.

Can't you be a little more creative?

You louse.

Use your brain a little, will you?

Okay?

Get lost, will you?

I'm tired.

Seriously. Take this. Here.

He must have something huge
on Dan Tae.

I know you can do that much for me.

I really want to go to Seoul
National University with my brother.

Make sure he can take
the performance test again.

You said you'd do anything for me.

I'm really grateful
for what you did to Ro Na.

Just use your connections again
for Seok Hoon...

Joo Seok Kyung!

Seok Hoon.

Have you and Dad been scheming?

Did you ask him
to get Ro Na disqualified?

Tell me the truth.

Just pretend you don't know.

Why do you have to live like this?

When are you going to stop?

Why is going to university
so important to you?

It's not about university.

Then what is it?

I hate Mom.

It's driving me crazy.

Mom is back,
but I still feel lonely.

I want her to only think about me,
but she doesn't.

To her,

Ro Na means more than me.

She doesn't care a bit
about what I want.

That's because...

what you want is ridiculous.

Who gives you the right
to interfere in someone else's life?

For both Ro Na and Eun Byeol,

Seoul National University
was a dream.

Think about your own sister,
who's right next to you.

This isn't the time
for dating around.

I was praying I was wrong.

Was it really your doing?

If you must trample on others
to climb higher,

can you really be proud of yourself?

I don't care.

What's so wrong with getting
what I want while I can?

When Dad was arrested,
no one sympathized with us.

If Dad has the power to do it,
why should I say no?

The Seoul National University
interview is today.

You can't go. Give up.

Says who?
Who are you to decide that?

I can't let you go to
Seoul National University.

Too bad. I will.

Everything will be okay
as long as you just let it go.

You can do that much for me,
can't you?

If you really love me,
please do that for me.

Don't you even feel sorry for me?

Please. Please let me go.

If I miss the interview,
I won't be admitted.

You don't have to feel bad.
Just leave.

Are you out of your mind?

Mom, I have to go to the interview.

Please open the door, Mom.

Open up!

- Don't let her out no matter what.
- I have to go to the interview!

Open up!

- Are you okay?
- Mom!

- I'm okay. Don't worry.
- This isn't funny.

Open up!

I have to go to the interview.

Mom, I have to...

Shim Su Ryeon,
what do you think you're doing?

Come any closer,
and I'll slit his throat.

Didn't I tell you
to stay away from my daughter?

Your daughter? Don't be ridiculous.

You're not even related.
You're just her stepmom.

You're right. You should be grateful
that you're related to her.

There's only one reason
I'm keeping you alive.

Being your blood...

might prove useful
to my kids someday.

Don't ruin Seok Kyung any further.

If you're really her father,
leave her alone.

Are you okay, sir?

Can't you do a better job?

You little...

I can't believe him.

Get dressed. Let's go.

Are you serious, Mom?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

[Dogok Station]

Where are we going?

Mom.

Mom!

Why did you bring me here?

[School Violence Committee]

Mom, what are you doing?

Let us begin...

Cheong A Arts High School's
school violence committee meeting.

If you have ever been...

bullied by Joo Seok Kyung,

please raise your hand.

Oh, dear.

What do you think you're doing?

You were all bullies like me.

And now you're putting
all the blame on me?

You threatened us
into bullying other kids.

You threatened...

that your dad would
kick us out of SNU Club.

Your word is law at school.
What else could we do?

Tell us the truth.

You framed me
at the performance test, didn't you?

Do you have proof?

Can you prove that I did that?

I heard you say it.

You asked Dad
to get Ro Na disqualified.

Seok Hoon.

You shook me up before the test
on purpose.

Blame your sensitivity.

Joo Seok Kyung!

Apologize.

If you sincerely apologize
for what you've done,

you'll be able to avoid
the worst punishment.

This is your last chance.

Okay.

I'll sincerely apologize.

I'm so sorry, guys.

I shouldn't have influenced
pushovers like you.

[Cheong A Arts High School
School Violence Committee]

You guys do whatever you're told to.

I think you should really start
thinking for yourselves.

And you, Jenny.

I'm so sorry for telling you
that your dad is a m*rder*r.

Seok Kyung!

I didn't expect you
to get so shocked.

I just thought you should know.

I don't understand
why I should be criticized.

How could you, you little...

Yes.

You're right.

My dad has been convicted of m*rder.

But...

he paid for what he did
for the past six years.

I don't know why I should be
criticized by you, of all people.

You're no different from me
after all.

Wait a second.

You're even worse because
you try to use that against me.

[Cheong A Arts High School]

I shall announce
the school violence committee's...

ruling on Joo Seok Kyung.

Joo Seok Kyung. You are...

expelled.

What did you just say?

I'm expelled?

That means I can't go to university.

The result will not be reversed.

As director of Cheong A
Arts High School,

and as Joo Seok Kyung's mother,

I sincerely apologize
to all the victims.

How can a mother do this?

I'm done with you for good.

Let's go, Eun Byeol.

What a fuss over nothing at all.

Good for you.
You did the right thing.

You're all grown up.

[Calling, Dad]

Dad. You said you wanted me
to do something for you.

What is it?

What do you want me to do?

I'll do anything you want.

You're all I have now.

Okay. Try to calm down.

I'll call you. Just wait.

Bye.

It sounded like Seok Kyung.
Is something wrong?

Jenny...

reported Seok Kyung
to the school violence committee.

She claims she ruined her exam...

because she found out
her dad's a m*rder*r.

Were you aware of this?

You knew all along...

that I told Seok Kyung.

And you stuck close,
calling me "sir"...

and bowing to me? Is that it?

Tell me!

I'm sure you wanted
to get rid of me...

because I made
your precious princess cry!

Yes. I wanted to k*ll you.

I was so resentful,
I wanted to k*ll you.

Much more than
how my daughter's heart broke,

mine broke a hundred,
a thousand times more, right here!

My heart hurt enough
that I felt it was being torn.

Can't I feel that way?

I'm a dad too.

What did you say, punk?

To be honest,
when you told Seok Kyung,

didn't you mean for it to reach me?

Since I'm the m*rder*r.

Not you.

But...

I will keep my word.

As long as you don't betray me.

You are...

so very straightforward, Mr. Yoo.

This is why I like you so much.

We've known each other
for many years.

It's for the better.

I couldn't lie
to my daughter forever.

My wife has a fiery temper,

and I barely managed
to stop her from coming after you.

I deserve some praise for that.

I apologize instead
for what Seok Kyung did.

She got her temper from me,

and she's so impatient.

Here.

Thank you.

Stand up straight now.

Chairman Joo, let's play!

Come on, Mr. Baek.

Hi.

We met outside.

He said he's scheduled to see you.

I heard that
you two are living together.

I'm here to walk you home.

I asked your wife
to cook us something nice.

Can Kyu Jin join you, then?

I haven't seen Seo Jin
in a while. Can I come?

- No, you...
- Kyu Jin.

You can come. Can't he?

My goodness.

You're like a brother I lost
during the w*r 70 years ago.

Where were you all this while?

- I was right here.
- Were you?

- Dong Pil, let's go.
- Let's go.

Let's go!

[Cheong A Group]

Mr. Baek, get close.
Let's do a love shot.

Come on, move in close.

Check everything.
It's all about the plating.

Pink flowers, purple flowers,
beautifully and harmoniously.

Yes, there.

Seo Jin. When did you
prepare all this?

You're the best.

I get upset too easily.

Even more so after being in jail.

It has that effect.

- The effect...
- I heard.

Thanks to you,
Eun Byeol was disqualified.

You did something gutsy.

Was the card I was holding
not much of a threat?

That was...

So, is the food to your liking?

Of course, it is.

I love it,

but I'm not sure if
Dan Tae's enjoying himself.

Why wouldn't he be?
This is his favorite course meal.

He has such expensive taste,

he's known not to eat anything
that wasn't cooked by a hotel chef.

What? Haven't you changed
a bit too much?

You used to love silkworm larva,
chicken gizzard,

pigskin, stuff like that.

Silkworm larva?

My honey hates things like that.

But then, he has changed a lot.

He used to wear
the same pair of sneakers.

Now he wears nice suits and shoes.

I'm surprised by
how much someone can change.

Gosh. I can't imagine any of that.

I'm so curious!

Jun Ki, do you have any old photos?

There's nothing of the sort!

Why isn't there? There is.

- Let's see.
- Show us.

You in your dark ages.

Come on! This is gold!

Come on. What is it? Show us...

Know when to stop.

My gosh.

Will you show us
a photo of your dark ages?

Yes, Chairman Joo. Show us.

Show us!

Show us! Show...

- Honey!
- I said stop it!

How could he throw you down?

What was that about? He's so nasty.

Do you think...

he got a whole new face
to look like what he does now?

My goodness.

We used to call him
Dan Tae the Small-minded.

What? He's small-minded and nasty?

He is!

Dan Tae the Small-minded.

Dan Tae the Small-minded.

[Korean Name, Baek Jun Ki]

That lunatic!

Did you take a look?

They're just curious.

You didn't have to ruin the mood.

What are you up to?
What is it you want?

Stop playing around and speak up.

Why do you feel so wronged
enough to be this angry?

One would think
I took something from you.

You took my family's riches
and lived a nice life with my name.

You should know to give back now.

Give your little brother
some pocket money for his struggles.

Let's have silkworm larva
and soju, your favorite.

On me.

Memories will come flooding back.
Wouldn't that be nice?

What are you two doing there?

I don't want to see
the photo anymore.

Let's just have some fun.

I'm coming. I'll be right there.

Come along.

Come on.

I'll make you regret not dying...

with your parents back then.

You crazy jerk.

[Shim Su Ryeon]

[Safety first]

Coming through.

[Shim Su Ryeon]

What are you going to do with this?

I'll put lot 27
in Cheonsoo District...

in your name.

You can trust me.
I'll turn your life around.

Did you eat?

Let's eat together then.

Following the discovery
of valuable cultural resources,

the Opyeong District development
has been canceled.

The Ministry of Land
held an emergency briefing...

to look for alternatives.

Cheonsoo District is once again
being considered...

as a strong candidate.

Cheonsoo District...

["Cheonsoo District
Considered for Development"]

- Nice.
- Congratulations, Mr. Joo.

Thank you.

Congratulations, Kyu Jin.

Let's drink.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Experts say...

Cheonsoo District is appropriate
for development...

Some people are...

just luckier than others.

Many hope
that the development plan...

will be implemented soon.

How are things
between you and Seok Kyung?

Maybe you should've
at least let her graduate.

If she can't graduate,
she can't go to college this year.

Logan once told me...

once I decided
to get Seol A's revenge,

I wouldn't be able to go back to
being Seok Hoon and Seo Kyung's mom.

But I disagree.

I believe the twins will
understand and forgive me someday.

Hi, Hye In. It's Mom.

Mom, I'm almost done with my rehab.

I can go to Korea soon.

Really? Do you have
your doctor's permission?

Yes. I can't wait to see you.

By the way, why haven't I heard
anything from Logan in a while?

Please tell him I feel hurt.

Well...

He's very busy.

I miss you so much.

I can't wait until you're here.

Me neither. I have to go, Mom.

Talk to you later.

Is Hye In coming back?

Her treatment is almost over.

I should look after her.

She doesn't know about
what happened to Logan, right?

He took such good care of her.
She liked him so much.

I'll tell her once she gets here.

Su Ryeon.

You said Joo Dan Tae switched
Seol A and Hye In, right?

Which hospital was it?

Why are you asking?

I'm wondering if I could find
Hye In's biological mom.

Why would you find her?

She gave up her baby
after getting paid by Joo Dan Tae.

Who knows if she regrets it?

I'll ask around quietly.

The name is Mirae OB-GYN.

[Mirae OB-GYN]

Ms. Shim Su Ryeon?

I remember her.

Her condition was serious when she
was transferred here from the US.

She was hospitalized here
for quite a while.

Could I have a look
at her medical records?

Her baby got switched...

while she was in the incubator.

At my clinic?

That can't be possible.

It's already been confirmed.

I'd like to contact
the other mother.

Even if that really happened,

I can't give you
my patient's personal information.

Your clinic is responsible
for what happened to the babies.

And you refuse to cooperate?

Then I'll have to come back
with the police.

She gave birth around the same time
as Ms. Shim.

She was a single mother.

[Dr. Park Sang Mi]

Here's her phone number.

Thank you.

I'll make sure you and your clinic
are not held responsible.

By any chance,

does the record say
Ms. Shim gave birth to twins?

No. It says she gave birth
to a baby girl.

[Mirae OB-GYN Medical Record, 2004]

[Mirae OB-GYN Medical Record, 2004]

[Father, Unknown,
Mother, Shim Su Ryeon]

I see.

[Never Stop Digging]

Please find this person
as soon as you can.

It seems like she's moved.
I can't find her anywhere.

[CEO Oh Man Sik]

I'll pay you as much as you want.

[Medical Record]

[CEO Shim Su Ryeon]

It's been a while.
Have you found out anything?

A guy who used to live
with Joo Dan Tae...

is staying with us.

His name is Baek Jun Ki. See if you
can find anything about him.

Is that all?

Is that all you could find out
by putting a bug?

I'm disappointed.

He's so paranoid that
he changes his phone every week.

He deleted the spy app long ago.

Give me some time.

I'll bring you something huge.

More importantly,

are you aware that Oh Yoon Hee
is spending money like water?

Where did all the money come from?

What if...

she's scheming behind our back?

Who knows she betrayed us
and teamed up with Joo Dan Tae?

We don't know that.

We know from our experience
what she is like.

Be careful of her.

No matter how desperate we are,

I can never trust Oh Yoon Hee.

[Korean name, Baek Jun Ki]

Joo Dan Tae?

[Korean name, Baek Jun Ki]

- "Baek Jun..."
- Seo Jin.

This is cheating.

Joo Dan Tae is wanted?

She's dead?

I looked at the additional data.

It appears she died six years ago.

She was so young six years ago.

Was it an accident?

A m*rder victim.

m*rder?

[Cheongpyeong Dam No-Body
m*rder Incident Record]

Cheongpyeong Dam No-Body m*rder?

We couldn't find the body
in Cheongpyeong Dam,

where the m*rder*r claimed
to have abandoned it.

That's how the case closed.

Who was the m*rder*r?

What was his motive?

You can read about him
on the next page.

[Incident Log, Affidavit]

[Yoo Dong Pil]

Yoo Dong Pil.

Yoo Dong Pil k*lled Kim Mi Sook?

[Under Construction]

[Safety First]

[Under Construction]

[Safety First]

[The Penthouse 3]

What do you know about that woman?

Do you want to know
where the money is?

You ruined my life, Mom.

Did you set up Baek Jun Ki?

You were my first love, Su Ryeon.

I'm worried about sending you alone.

Want me to go with you?

You're Joo Dan Tae, right?

How much do you know?

This is your last warning.

Whatever you saw,
whatever you learned...

- Watch what you say.
- You want me to tell the truth?

Shim Su Ryeon will die
because of you.
