[bunniefuu]

The mother is in critical
condition, no chance of recovery

so we'll register it
as a stillbirth.

Breaking: A Baby Swap Cover-up?

[reporter] Please come out now!

[banging on door]

Is this news real?

[screams]

[shatters]

[Yu]
Mido Erika is going to hold

an emergency press conference.

What?

[Erika] Our hospital's own
investigation revealed that

a certain doctor held
a personal grudge against me.

We have determined
that this individual

fabricated the entire scandal

as part of his plot
to take over the hospital.

She got us.

Father.

I will never do anything that
would betray the trust...

[coughing]

...you have placed in me

as the only daughter
of the Mido family.

[reporters murmuring]

[camera shutter clicking]

Mido Hospital will continue

to stand close
and serve you all.

I promise you.

Members of the press,

thank you all for
joining us today.

Thank you very much.

HOSPITAL PRESS CONFERENCE:
ACTION PRAISED

[female anchor]
During the press conference,

Mido Hospital's director...

HOSPITAL DIRECTOR OFFERS
CLARIFICATION

...showed real sincerity,
admitting what was necessary

and her response was
impressively fast, wasn't it?

[male anchor]
Yes. I'd call that press
conference a complete success.

Now even Father will have
no choice but to accept it.

No one will ever dare
to question me again.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Tojima] Chairman Tatsutoshi
has collapsed.

What?

And I'm so sorry

to have to tell you this,
but...

his illness is already
in a very advanced stage.

At this rate, the doctors say

he may not even have
a few months.

No way.

[gasps]

Father...

Yes...

Yes!

Yes!

[laughing]

He suddenly collapses

and now he only has
a few months left.

[continues laughing]

Oh, come on.

There was never anything
to worry about

in the first place.

[♪♪♪]

I can't believe how lucky I am.

[♪♪♪]

[woman singing in Japanese]

DEEP REVENGE

[machine beeping steadily]

[door opens, footsteps approach]

Father!

How could this happen?

How could you ignore it
and let things get this bad?

If only I had known sooner,

I would've done anything
to get you

the best care in the world.

The last thing I'd ever do
is be in your debt.

[gasps]

Father...

You're awake.

Are you okay?

You can leave the rest to me.

The press conference regarding
the hospital went perfectly

so you have nothing
to worry about--

That pathetic farce...

This whole incident has shown me
your true measure.

What?

Ever since I put you
in charge of the Mido Group,

profits have worsened

and the hospital's reputation
is in ruins.

[♪♪♪]

Erika.

You are my failed creation.

The day after tomorrow,

I will formally announce
your dismissal.

[gasps]

What?

Wait. This is too sudden!

You have to explain this--

Leave!

I can't stand the sight of you.

Ren, let's go.

Leave Ren here.

[Erika] What?

From today onwards,
Ren will be in my care.

Ren.

Learning business
and leadership is a given,

but you will also be learning
foreign languages.

I'll drill everything
you need to know into you.

You won't have time to sleep.

Young Master Ren,
this way, please.

No! I don't want to!

Stop crying!

The Mido family code states that

a man of this house

must never show his tears
in front of others!

Now get out of my sight.

I have no more use for
a failed creation like you.

[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

[door slams]

[Kako] I see.

So, Mido Tatsutoshi only
has a few months left.

And it seems Erika will soon
be stripped of her position

as Director of Mido Hospital

and lose her control
over the Mido Group

as an executive member.

With that, you'll have
finally gotten your revenge.

I suppose so.

[Kako] And without me having
to dirty my hands any further

Erika will lose everything
she currently has.

[cell phone buzzing]

[Erika, on phone] Ren...

He's going to be k*lled
because of me!

What?

Big Sister, I'm so sorry!

Ren was taken away because
of my mistake!

I...

I know what kind of mother
I've been, but I love Ren.

No, I'm sorry.

Ren's mother...

has always been you.

I could never admit it
until now,

and I am truly sorry!

Ren is precious to me.

And he...

I can't stand the thought of him
suffering the same way I have.

What do you mean?

[♪♪♪]

[Kako] That bruise...

It can't be.

Yes...

Father did this to me.

He only cares about
the Mido family.

To protect it, he won't even
go easy on his own children.

Help me, Big Sister!

Ren is going to be k*lled!

Let's work together

and save him.

Work together? How?

I have a good idea.

[inaudible dialogue]

[♪♪♪]

[door opens]

[Kako]
So, this person is my father.

Who are you?

[machinery beeping faintly
in background]

You don't seem to be a nurse.

I am under Ms. Erika's care.

I'm her housekeeper, Sato Kako.

So, Erika sent you.

Get out!

[coughing uncontrollably,
gasping]

[breathing raggedly]

Please.

[gasping]

If I remain by your side,

I'm sure I can be of service
in some way.

[coughs]

[deep, raspy breath]

You're pushing yourself
too hard.

You should take some time
to rest from your work.

When a human's time is up,
it's up.

But everyone is so worried
about you.

The only thing that
matters now

is who will carry on
the Mido family name.

I inherited the Mido Group
from my father

and I built it
into the empire it is today.

Admirable, sir.

I expected nothing less
from Ms. Erika's father.

Erika?

[scoffs]

She is the greatest
of all my failures.

All the other women...

Both Midori and Yuri

only gave birth to women!

[♪♪♪]

I cast all of these
useless fools aside.

As the head of the family,

I must know how to distinguish
trash.

[coughing uncontrollably]

[gasping]

The chosen heir

must continue to protect
the Mido family

for all future generations.

By that, are you
referring to Ren?

That's right.

My blood flows through
Ren's veins.

Through Ren, I will continue
to live on.

And if Ren should die,

my legacy will pass to
the next male heir.

This will continue
for all eternity.

[♪♪♪]

I'll use the three months
I have left

to drill the necessary
education into Ren

and mold him into
a perfect copy of myself.

A copy?

That's right.

There will be another
brilliant corporate mind.

What could possibly be
more wonderful than that?

For me, and for Ren.

[chuckles]

[chuckles swell into laughter]

But...

What if your copy turns out
to be a failed creation?

Don't make me repeat myself.

Anything useless
gets thrown away.

[♪♪♪]

We're going to k*ll
Mido Tatsutoshi.

What are you saying?

Isn't it obvious?

It's for Ren's sake.

Unless Tatsutoshi is k*lled,

he will never let Ren go.

But that's--

We're running out of time.

It will be too late
if something happens to Ren!

Let us join forces
and work together, Big Sister.

The second you're useless,
he'll toss you out.

That's the kind of man
Mido Tatsutoshi is.

[♪♪♪]

[grunting]

[♪♪♪]

[choking]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[door squeaks]

DEEP REVENGE

[gasps]

Father!

Father...

Why...

How could this happen
so fast?

[sobbing]

It was all so sudden.

His sudden turn
doesn't make sense.

Investigate it now!

Understood.

I'll make preparations
immediately.

[sobs]

[door opens]

Father.

[door closes]

[sobbing] Father!

[door closes]

[chuckles]

[laughing] All right!

She actually did it.

Tatsutoshi is dead.

[laughs]

[♪♪♪]

Hello? Police?

It appears that a m*rder
has occurred at Mido Hospital.

Please confirm it immediately.

Everything is falling into place
at the right time.

[sharp adhesive peel]

[rubbery slap]

[soft, indistinct speech]

[door opens]

[♪♪♪]

Everyone...

Thank you all for coming.

Today, I have an important
announcement to make.

[men murmuring]

Actually, earlier today...

my father passed away.

[men] What?

[murmuring continues]

In the will he prepared
before his death,

my father entrusted
the leadership rights

of the Mido Group to me.

And that fact...

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

...is also clearly stated
in his last will

that I hold in my hand.

[men gasping softly]

[gasps]

[sobs]

Father.

Thank you for being so concerned
about me,

even after you are gone.

But...

you can rest easy now.

From this moment on,

I am no longer the Director
of Mido Hospital

or a president of
the subsidiaries.

I will now lead us forward
as the Chairwoman

of the entire Mido Group.

[men murmuring]

[Tatsutoshi]
I have left no such will behind.

[wheelchair rattles]

[gasping]

Father?

Why are you...

[Tatsutoshi]
It seems like my death would've
been convenient for you.

Of course, that's not true.

I'm so happy

that you're alive.

You even went so far as to forge
my will. I am appalled.

As of today, you are
officially dismissed.

[gasps]

No way...

Furthermore, you will
take responsibility

for creating this spectacle.

What?

That is your punishment
for wasting the time

of every executive member here

with your childish theatrics.

What do you mean by
"childish"--

Apologize to them now!

What's the matter?

Can't do it?

For a wretched thing like you
to have pride... How arrogant.

[♪♪♪]

During this occasion...

For...

My foolish actions...

Please forgive--

Too haughty!

When you apologize,
you need to be loud enough.

I'm sorry.

You're still too haughty!

[gasping]

I-I'm sorry!

[Tatsutoshi]
Not good enough!

[sobs]

I am truly, deeply sorry!

[♪♪♪]

Everyone,

I apologize for making you come
all this way for nothing.

This meeting is adjourned.

[shouting]
Did I say you can stop?

No, sir.

Are you all right?

Your wound on your back
must be hurting.

You planned all of this,
didn't you?

You're the one who betrayed me
first.

You liar.

You b*tch!

[chuckles]

How dare you talk to me
like that?

Call me "Big Sister," Erika.

[breathing heavily]

DEEP REVENGE

Thank you for agreeing
to the deal.

You would have k*lled me
if I hadn't.

It's been a while, Father.

[♪♪♪]

[Tatsutoshi groans]

Takamura Nozomi...

Do you remember that name?

[gasps, chokes]

The daughter you had
with your mistress.

I am your daughter.

And...

Ren is my son.

[grunts, gasps]

What did you just say?

[choking, neck crunching]

Would you like to make a deal
with me?

[♪♪♪]

[Tatsutoshi scoffs, chuckles]

If I'd known I had a daughter
with such guts,

I would've brought you
into the business long ago.

To think that you'd make use
of me...

There should be a limit
to your audacity.

You flatter me.

[Tojima] Chairman.

Your remote conference
is about to begin.

[wheelchair rattling]

I'm sorry.

I ended up dragging you into all
of this after all, doctor.

You certainly did.

I really am sorry.

But...

I'm glad you weren't tainted
by evil.

When I first spoke
with Tatsutoshi,

I thought about just
ending it all.

But...

[♪♪♪]

[inaudible]

Ren kept me grounded.

I want to be someone that Ren
won't feel ashamed of.

But...

Even as I plan my revenge,
I'm still a Mido.

Their tainted blood
runs in my veins, too.

That is not true!

Blood has nothing to do with it.

You are your own person.

Whatever path you choose,
I'll help you.

I am your accomplice
until the day I die.

[woman singing in Japanese]

Even if you turn to evil,

I will follow you to hell.

Takamura...

I like you.

[woman continues singing
in Japanese]

[chewing]

It can't be over.

Not like this...

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

[Tatsutoshi] You'll live
with Ren in that house.

KAKO WINS TATSUTOSHI'S TRUST,
ERIKA SETS A TRAP!

I refuse!

In that case, get out!

[Erika] This is bad.
Get changed into this.

THE w*r BETWEEN KAKO AND ERIKA
BEGINS

What in the world
are you wearing?

Are you all right, Erika?

[Erika] You're supposed
to be more miserable than me!

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL

[Kako]
You're really so pitiful.
