ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, EVENTS, ORGANIZATIONS AND SETTINGS ARE FICTITIOUS
You're up, Ms. Na Ae-gyo.
Who are you?
Where the hell are we?
I went out of my way to save you.
Don't you think you should thank me more nicely?
I guess you only look like Su-ryeon.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Logan Lee.
We've met two years ago.
Logan Lee?
I don't know anyone by that name.
Cut this bullshit and get lost.
Wait.
I'm not trying to hurt you.
What were you going to tell me back then?
That's all I want to know.
Get off of me unless you want to die.
I could easily take down someone like you.
Until the day Su-ryeon died,
you use that face of yours and pretended to be Joo Dan-tae's wife.
You lobbied Representative Jung Du-man of Happy Future Party
and other politicians and businessmen to get insider information,
and made a huge fortune.
But two years ago, you definitely decided
to part ways with Joo Dan-tae.
That's why you wanted to see me.
Stop talking nonsense.
I never did anything like that.
Dan-tae is the only person I trust.
Listen to this voice!
It's definitely you!
This is Na Ae-gyo.
There's something I must tell you before I leave.
Everything Dan-tae did to Su-ryeon
and what he's truly like.
Today might be the only chance I can tell you this.
Back then,
you meant it.
You were…
You were desperate.
Back then?
I guess we had a fight.
Anyone can do that in a fit of temper.
I have a short temper.
Then would it be okay if I let Dan-tae listen to this?
Sure.
Go let him listen to it.
Are you trying to threaten me with this?
I'm sorry,
but the relationship between Dan-tae and me
is much more tight-knit and deeper than you think.
We even have kids together. Do you think those few words could shake me?
So stop messing with me,
and don't ever come back to see me.
We meet again.
What is this?
Did you and that man work together to approach me?
You two must be utterly mistaken.
I'm Joo Dan-tae's woman.
And the twins' real mother.
Dan-tae tried
to kill you.
You almost died today.
I don't know when or how,
but he'll abandon you just like he abandoned Su-ryeon.
Yet you still want to take his side to be loyal to him?
What do you know about him anyway?
I've also been miserably betrayed by him.
I've been a fugitive and almost died because of that man.
And I doubt it will be any different with you.
You know better than anyone how Joo Dan-tae
deals with someone he doesn't need anymore.
We're giving you a chance
to abandon him before he abandons you.
You should join us, Ae-gyo.
What the hell is your deal?
SEOK-HUN
Hello?
Hey, Seok-hun. It's me.
Is everything okay? I called because I got worried.
Yes, I'm fine. What about you?
My dad didn't do something again, did he?
No, I'm fine.
I'm glad you sound fine. I'll talk to you later.
Don't you miss
your children?
Seok-hun and Seok-gyeong.
I'll help you meet them.
Aren't you two a little too cute?
Is that what you came up with to win me over?
If I had even a hint of maternal love,
I wouldn't have left them back then.
Gosh, motherhood?
I hate things like that.
Do you know what he does to his kids?
Your children are getting abused. They're living in hell!
You still want to let them grow up with that psycho?
Watch your mouth. Don't talk about my family matters.
Let her go.
We can't let her go like this.
-What if she tells Dan-tae? -If she does, so be it.
So you're giving up like this?
I can't do that.
She said all those things,
but I saw her eyes wavering.
Let's just hope she has some kind of maternal love left.
Where have you been? Why didn't you pick up? Were you with another man?
You're the one who tired to kill me. You've got some nerve!
Why did you do that, you bastard?
Because you don't need me anymore now that you sold off those buildings?
I wanted to find out why you did that two years ago.
Find out why I did it?
I went to lie low in Thailand as you told me to!
That's…
I told you to leave for a bit since Sim Su-ryeon died
so that no one could see you.
So why did you keep avoiding me? You didn't pick up or come back!
As if you didn't even know me! How was I supposed to take that?
Honey.
We're made for each other.
We've always been one since ages ago.
I won't betray you
unless you betray me first.
I won't let something like this slide again, Dan-tae.
If you do something like this again,
I'll put a bullet through your head.
Do you understand?
It finally feels like the real Ae-gyo is back.
By the way,
you were pretty sexy back there.
My heart skipped a beat for a bit.
Why don't we have a drink to celebrate our reconciliation?
I was scared that you'd changed your mind.
You do know how much you mean to me.
We have to make it big with Cheonsu District.
Until that day, at the very least,
I'm not going to get any other ideas.
It looks like their relationship is more tight-knit than we thought.
No.
I just detected a bit of trouble.
She didn't tell him that she met us.
Call us whenever you change your mind.
We'll help you meet Seok-hun and Seok-gyeong.
I didn't know you were coming.
Mr. Joo isn't home yet.
I stopped by to check his tuxedo for our wedding.
I have to check the shoulder width.
-You may go. -Yes, Ms. Cheon.
This necklace is your daughter's, right?
We found her DNA
and the victim's blood on it.
Where did he put it?
What are you doing here?
Sneaking around my room like a rat.
Looking for this?
Give it to me.
You have no reason to keep that now.
I did everything as you said.
I sent out our wedding invitations and got a dress too.
I'll be there at the wedding as promised, so give me that necklace.
Giving this back to you isn't a problem,
but do you really think
this is the only card I have?
What do you mean?
I heard Eun-byeol was put on an IV.
So? Did her memories disappear like magic?
How could Dr. Ha experiment with a drug still undergoing trials
on his own daughter?
He's still a licensed doctor. He shouldn't have done that.
If there are any side effects,
not only will it ruin her life,
he'll also go to jail.
Ms. Cheon Seo-jin.
How could you still not get it?
I told you that you can't get away from me.
You should just accept your fate
if you don't want to bring back your daughter's memories.
Do you understand, my dear Seo-jin?
YUN-CHEOL
What the hell are you thinking? You're marrying Chairman Joo?
You said you wouldn't for Eun-byeol's sake. Don't you know what he's like?
I do!
But so what?
Any man would be furious if he saw his fiancée
having an affair with her ex-husband.
Why are you being like this?
What happened between you and him?
Why did you suddenly change your mind? You don't love him!
I'm not a naive 20-year-old girl who cares about love!
A marriage is the biggest business deal you can get in your life.
And that's why I chose Dan-tae.
What about our daughter?
You think Eun-byeol will accept it?
I'm doing this for me.
You left Yun-hui,
and that's all I needed.
I'd rather die than see you live a happy life with Yun-hui.
What?
Don't you know the kind of woman I am? I've been using you.
To cover up Eun-byeol's crime,
I needed your blind love for her as her father.
So I pretended I wanted you back to get my revenge on Yun-hui.
I know you're lying.
No matter how low you go,
you wouldn't do that to me.
Stop being so clingy and stay away from me.
I never wanted to get back together with you
to begin with.
A man who is wealthy and gentle to his bones is the right fit for me.
Someone like Dan-tae.
Seo-jin.
So take Eun-byeol and leave.
Go to the US or wherever you want.
You're going to abandon our daughter?
My life is more important
than my daughter's life to me.
And it's better for her sake as well.
So…
make sure you leave
before the wedding!
That is
all I have to say.
You are
the worst.
You need to…
keep Eun-byeol safe from now on.
There's no other way now.
What's all this?
Wedding gifts from Chairman Joo.
He bought gifts for you too. Do you want to see them?
He bought you a dress and shoes for the wedding…
Is she really going to have this ridiculous wedding?
Damn it.
Seok-hun, where are you right now?
Isn't it hilarious?
Ma-ri!
Goodness, what are all these?
Why did you buy so many designer's bags?
These are the Queens' gifts for my birthday that's coming up.
How thoughtful they are.
My goodness, they got you all these?
Wait, then all those new products you've had
were gifts from the Three Queens?
No wonder.
They must consider you closer than their own families.
Those look heavy. Let me help.
Forget it.
Some might see it and think I'm ordering you around.
Who would think that way?
My submission is voluntary.
Gyu-jin is good at things like this.
I'm currently the politician with best manners.
Let's go.
Good manners, my foot.
-Hey, forget it! Give it back! -Come on. Let's go, ma'am.
-My gosh. -Be careful.
-You're such an important person. -My goodness.
What's going on?
It's okay. They were bound to find out.
Let's go.
They must be very close friends.
They're siblings!
On which floor did they start doing that?
What did you say?
Their parents already set their wedding date.
I can't believe Seok-hun and Eun-byeol started dating.
They do make a cute couple.
Mr. Joo.
What if your wedding falls through?
Rumors about them will spread soon.
No one will hear about it if you stay silent, Mr. Lee.
You know I'm a very quiet guy.
Wait a minute.
Ma-ri was there too.
What if word gets around her sauna?
It'll be game over.
Seok-hun wouldn't do anything foolish.
I guess Eun-byeol's doing this to stop the wedding.
And these immature kids take it further if you react to them in any way.
Please curb your unhealthy interest in my family affairs.
The door is that way.
Mr. Joo,
just be honest with me.
What's the real reason you're so desperate to marry her?
Your fiancée is seeing Yun-cheol again.
And I doubt that you love her.
Then you love her shares in Cheong-a Foundation, don't you?
My big day is coming soon, so I don't want to use violence.
Especially not against an assemblyman.
I'm all for it. This is what we call true love.
You're determined to win her love despite your children's opposition.
That touches Gyu-jin's heart a bit.
How dare you.
I have an aide too.
He was the best fighter in Beolgyo!
My son, you pulled a pretty funny prank.
You've been bold lately, so I thought you'd grown up a little.
But I guess you're still a baby.
A baby who needs to be looked after
in my arms.
I heard Ms. Cheon is getting fired.
Then we'll see what Eun-byeol can really do.
It'll be her first time taking an exam without her mom's help!
She's too wimpy to do well on the exam.
You're right. And I heard Mr. Ma got rid of Eun-byeol's restroom.
She'll have to eat like us too.
She fell from her life as the princess of Cheong-a to a nobody.
Mr. Ma is really quick with those things.
-I think we should go. -Run.
Do you have to do this? Why did you come to school at a time like this?
You don't care about me at all, do you?
The wedding, the school… You do whatever you want!
Don't waste your energy in the morning by taking a cab.
If you don't want to come with me, I'll get you another car.
I hate you.
You're a selfish woman who has no trace of maternal love.
What are you doing?
What's with you? Let me go!
What the hell are you up to?
Are you trying to stop their marriage
by showing people that you're dating my brother?
I'm not just showing it. We are really dating.
Seok-hun and I like each other.
Do you think that will stop this marriage?
Seok-hun will just get beaten within an inch of his life.
No. He might really die.
He might die?
You have no idea how scary my dad is.
Do you see this?
What happened to your arm?
Wait, so…
This is what your future stepdad is like.
So stop trying to convince my dad and make your mom back out.
If anything you do hurts my poor brother,
I'll make you pay for it.
CHIEF DIRECTOR CHEON SEO-JIN
All right. I think everyone is here.
We're going to have a vote
on the chief director's dismissal.
Before we cast our votes,
I'd like to share a word with you.
Cheong-a Foundation is the most prestigious
private school foundation in Korea.
This was a cradle of education created by astronomical donations
and relentless passion from our former chief directors.
Yet Chief Director Cheon Seo-jin has brought
shame to our name with her incompetence and arrogance.
Therefore, I strongly demand
that the chief director be dismissed.
Ms. Cheon, please express your opinion.
I admit that I have made a fatal mistake.
I am very ashamed of it.
However, this is time to work together,
not to become divided.
I'll do whatever it takes to restore our name.
I can give up vocal music without any regrets,
but Cheong-a Foundation…
is my life.
Please give me one more chance to restore
everything to the way it was.
Let us begin the voting.
CHIEF DIRECTOR CHEON'S DISMISSAL YES, NO
Now,
let me announce the result.
YES, NO
-What? -What?
Yeas on dismissal, five votes.
Nays on dismissal, six votes.
What's going on?
That's impossible. This is rigged.
How can this be?
-How did this… -This is unbelievable.
-How can it be? -The dismissal of Ms. Cheon
has been rejected.
Thank you.
I truly thank you for giving me your trust.
I won't forget the mercy of our directors.
I will do my best
to build up our foundation's pride once again.
I don't know how you won them over to your side,
but I will not accept this decision.
Of course, we'll file an objection and take the vote again.
Let's go, Mom.
Your father asked us for a favor before he passed away.
What did he say?
My eldest daughter will have a long way to go.
She's a very ambitious girl, but she has much more to learn.
Once she becomes the chief director,
her mother will try to push her out with all kinds of excuses.
Seo-yeong will also try it with her.
Forget them. Give Seo-jin your trust
and give her your support.
Help her keep the chief director position.
Dad.
So you don't have to thank us.
Think of your dad and muster up your spirits.
We'll stand right behind you.
Dad.
Dad…
Dad, I'm sorry.
Dad…
I'm so sorry.
You were here.
Yes. Were you looking for me?
Ms. Cheon's dismissal was rejected.
Have you heard?
No, I don't care.
I don't get why my mom is so obsessed with the foundation.
She's not even ashamed to see the other kids.
It's embarrassing to death.
Don't let what others say get to you.
Everyone will forget with time.
Cheer up.
Seok-hun.
You can lean on me when things are tough for you.
I'm here to listen to everything you say.
You know how much I like you, right?
Did your memories come back?
Do you remember what I said that day?
No, I can't remember no matter how much I think about it.
Can't you just tell me?
Try harder.
Don't you remember seeing someone on these stairs that day?
I did?
Who other than you?
You have to remember.
You might have seen the real culprit who killed Ro-na.
What do you mean?
So it wasn't Mr. Park?
You also know how nice Mr. Park is.
I'm sure he was framed.
I couldn't believe it either.
He's not someone who could kill a person.
If you remember it, we'll be able to find the real culprit.
Mr. Park can vindicate himself too.
If you remember anything new, you have to tell me,
and only me. Can you promise me?
But…
is Ro-na still on your mind?
It's not because of her.
I just feel very bad for Mr. Park.
Will you help me?
Okay, I'll do that.
-I can do anything for you. I'll remember. -It's a drowsy afternoon.
Here's the last song for today that will wake you right up.
Eun-byeol, what's wrong?
How did Ro-na die again?
She was stabbed in the head by a trophy.
A trophy?
GOLDEN REAL ESTATE: NEW TOWN EXPERT
I'm Hwang Geum-bong.
Well, we came to see if there are any properties in Cheonsu District.
Cheonsu District?
There's no redevelopment scheduled in that area yet.
If you want to invest, you should go with Opyeong District.
One second. Let me ask the investor.
Sure.
It seems Chairman Joo Dan-tae recommended this investment himself.
The investor would like something in Cheonsu District.
I see.
Cheonsu District. Let's see…
Ms. Song, this is Hwang Geum-bong. Have you been well?
I called you urgently with information on redevelopment in Gangnam.
Really?
Okay.
Yes, do the research and send the documents to my secretary.
I'm done.
Lady Jincheon.
-Yes. -Do you like the gifts we sent you today?
We put a lot of effort into picking them.
Of course, I love them.
You three have the best taste in Korea.
What about that rude woman we saw? Does she still bother you?
She lives in Hera Palace too, right?
Once you taught her a good lesson, she has been lying low
and crawling like this before me.
You don't have to worry.
Let us know right away if she does anything again.
How dare some wife of an assemblyman look down on Lady Jincheon?
Speaking of which, why don't you just move?
Move?
I just got a call.
I heard
a 130-storey apartment complex will soon be built in Cheonsu District.
Ms. Song, you heard the rumors too.
Even Chairman Joo began to make a move. I guess the announcement
for redevelopment will be made soon.
Chairman Joo?
He's awfully quick with these things.
Lady Jincheon, you should go buy one too.
That area will soon become the wealthiest village
instead of Hera Palace.
Are you serious?
What an amazing piece of the latest real estate information.
Since it hasn't been announced,
I'm sure it's not that expensive. Right?
But you still have to hurry.
I heard Chairman Joo already took all the good spots.
Honey!
Honey! Gyu-jin!
You need to dress me so I can go out to look after our people
and bring stability to their lives.
Why do you look like that? You look like some miserable woman.
Were you at Mari Sauna again?
You might as well work there.
Did you save a country in your past life?
How did you get so lucky and marry a woman like me?
I must have met you because I had failed to save one.
Without me, what would you've done for your campaign fund?
Why? Did you hear something?
Cheonsu District will be redeveloped very soon!
That rumor is about 200 years old!
Gyu-jin started going real estate shopping with Mom in elementary school.
I'm sure of this.
I heard the Three Queens say it with these two ears.
Don't you know who they are?
They have the golden information when it comes to real estate.
Besides, Chairman Joo heard of this and has been buying the area out.
Dan-tae never mentioned a word to me!
Is he trying to have this all by himself?
Wait. How much extra cash do you have? Forget that.
-Let's call Mom right now. -Okay.
We should put on
our talent show tonight
and make her give me some cash.
This is very precious.
In just two years, it will turn 100 years old.
You didn't have to.
And this.
-Thank you. -Take this.
Oh, my. It looks quite expensive.
All right.
-This is a good place. Take a look. -I see.
Looks great.
All right.
All right. Right here.
And here.
You'll become rich.
Is this for me? What is it?
It should be enough for a simple meal.
This will soon be worth
about 50 billion won per pyeong.
-Did you say 50? -50 billion.
Here.
-Let's do the last one together. -Okay.
Hold my hand.
PURCHASER: LEE YONG-BEOM
Sealed.
Congratulations.
Just sit, relax, and wait for the jackpot.
I like your name.
Yes, so do I.
I'm not sure how the information leaked,
but there is a spike in sales of real estate in Cheonsu District.
Who got wind of it and bought properties?
I haven't checked that yet.
You stupid idiot!
You haven't found that out yet with all that money you used?
Go find out right away!
The contractor and the new owners!
No, wait.
First, go and get all the properties I've kept an eye on.
-Get out of here! -Yes, sir.
That goddamn idiot.
No way.
Oh Yun-hui, is it you again?
So I have a new goal now.
I want to become extremely wealthy.
I'll do whatever it takes to become rich.
Rich enough to own this penthouse.
Man.
That cheeky bitch.
How dare she come after my penthouse?
Hey, honey, it's me.
I have a favor to ask you.
I need you to be in charge of this woman who's a huge headache.
That's my expertise.
Let's talk later in person.
Thank you for calling me, Ms. Na.
I didn't think you'd call me so soon.
There's no need to thank me.
I just came to see if you'd really keep
your promise.
Are you sure you just want to see them from afar?
Or what?
Should I hug them and shed tears of joy?
They're here.
You came early.
Hi.
What is this? You wanted to talk. So why is she here?
Don't be so rude.
She has something to tell us.
What would you like to have? I'm buying.
This place serves good strawberry shakes.
It's nice and sweet.
Happy now?
My stomach isn't strong enough for me to sit here
and talk with my mom's killer.
Sit down, Seok-gyeong.
-It's about your mother. -My mom?
Your biological mother.
She's alive.
Our biological mother?
Ms. Oh.
I'm sorry,
but our biological mother died of sepsis right after giving birth.
Do your research before you try to con us.
Do I have to put up with this?
Your father lied to you.
Your biological mother is alive.
This is your biological mother.
Have you gone insane?
Are you joking with us? This is our late mom.
No, she's your biological mother.
She looks amazingly similar to Su-ryeon.
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
I recently met her and confirmed this.
Are you serious? Where is she right now?
Do you actually believe this woman?
She's messing with us because I bullied Ro-na.
It's a piece of cake to fake photos like this one.
I will go ask Dad myself.
Do you trust him?
Do you still have no idea what kind of man he really is?
Our dad is the one who abuses and manipulates us the most.
We can't expect him to tell us the truth.
Just hear her out.
Ms. Oh is trying to help us.
She's very close to you.
If you want to meet her, I'll make it happen.
Who says I want to meet my biological mom?
How dare she claim to be my mom now? Who says she can?
I only have one mother.
And this fake mom?
I don't need her.
Be honest with me. You know something, don't you?
What is it?
Tell me!
The person who killed Mom…
It might be Dad.
Have you lost your mind?
Why would Dad do that?
Why would he kill Mom?
Why?
Because he no longer needed her.
That's how Dad is. He only keeps what and whom he needs. We're no exception!
He can abandon us anytime.
So we can no longer trust him, okay?
We're on our own now.
I'll never abandon you. Even if I have to risk my life,
I will protect you from Dad.
If Dad
really killed Mom,
I will make him pay for it.
I will never forgive him.
What the…
What are you using to threaten Seo-jin?
Call off the wedding at once.
A bastard like you doesn't deserve Seo-jin.
Know your place.
You think you can patch things up with her if I let her go?
Just be honest with me.
Didn't you come back for her money?
I guess that's all you can do with that hand now.
I should've completely crushed it that day
but I got too soft.
You psycho!
I'll do whatever it takes to stop this wedding,
even if I have to risk my life.
My, I like this brazen attitude.
But I guess Seo-jin hasn't told you yet.
Unbelievable. It's about your daughter.
She should've told you.
What the hell are you talking about?
I found out
that your daughter killed Ro-na.
What can you do?
Parents should be responsible for their kids' mistakes.
Seo-jin decided to bear it all.
You know how much she loves her daughter.
Too bad I'm the only one seeing that look on your face.
Go on. Punch me.
If you can handle what I'll say, hit me.
Hit me, you bastard!
Take your daughter and get out of my sight
before I turn her in to the police.
I… I will kill you.
I will kill you, Joo Dan-tae!
Good luck with that.
I will kill you, Joo Dan-tae!
I'm going to kill you.
I will kill you!
RESTRICTED AREA
I can't figure out what Na Ae-gyo is thinking.
She didn't even bat an eye after seeing her kids.
She won't show her emotions easily.
Let's wait and see.
What about Cheonsu District? Any progress?
As expected,
both Kang Ma-ri and Lee Gyu-jin have rushed into it.
The tip we leaked to the Three Queens seems to have worked.
Then, it's time to make our move.
Oh, Mr. Hwang. This is Oh Yun-hui.
I want to sell lot 27 in Cheonsu District.
Yes, can you find out if there's anyone interested?
As soon as possible. Thank you.
Dan-tae should be arriving at his villa.
You wanted to meet to give me this stupid invitation?
I can't believe this!
If Cheon Seo-jin refuses to divorce you, will you live with her forever?
Do you think I'm insane?
And she's marrying me only because I have something on her.
-This marriage means nothing to me. -Something on her?
It's like betting on stocks.
Then put all the land you bought in Cheonsu District
under my name.
Let's go with half.
No, 70%. I won't go any lower.
In exchange, I'll get you the land Oh Yun-hui currently owns.
Still, isn't 70% too high?
You think it's too high?
Really?
Fine.
But only until I divorce Seo-jin.
When do you plan to end that marriage?
Registering the marriage will make me the largest shareholder in Cheong-a Group.
As soon as I get the shares, I'll chop up the company and sell it off.
I'll make the stock price go up to the max and bow out.
Don't you trust me?
You tried to kill me.
So how could I trust you?
Would you if you were me?
I already explained myself.
Who knows?
I may disappear quietly one day
just like Su-ryeon did.
Get lost.
I'm not in the mood to drink with you.
Hey, we're not done talking!
Gosh, seriously.
She has such a nasty temper.
What happened to your face? Who did this to you?
Call off the wedding.
This is insane.
It's because Dan-tae found it out, isn't it?
Don't be afraid.
He has no way to prove that Eun-byeol did it.
How did you find out?
Did that bastard tell you?
No matter what he says to threaten you, don't give in.
I'll deal with Eun-byeol's treatment, so just say you know nothing.
He has evidence.
Eun-byeol's necklace.
Eun-byeol's DNA
and Ro-na's blood are on it.
He also has a recording of my confession.
Why are you telling me this just now?
You can't handle this on your own.
Don't underestimate me.
I can easily control Dan-tae.
You just take care of Eun-byeol.
I'll handle the rest.
Please leave quietly.
This is my final request.
I didn't do it, did I?
No, that can't be.
There's no way.
But why do I keep remembering the trophy?
It's time for your meds. Your mom said you must take it on time.
Will this make my headache go away?
Does it hurt a lot?
Oh, no. You've only reviewed the chapters three times so far.
It feels like my head is about to explode.
Whenever I try to solve the math problems, the numbers keep crawling in my head.
What if I really end up going crazy?
You've been doing well. What's wrong? Besides, Ro-na is gone now.
This isn't good. Stop studying. Just go to bed.
I'll wake you up early tomorrow. Come on.
How's Eun-byeol doing?
She's having a really tough time.
Her mother's wedding is coming up,
and something's wrong with her memory.
What about the pills she's taking?
Isn't it hindering her from getting her memories back?
I've replaced them with vitamins, so she's not affected by them.
Soon, she'll remember
what she did.
No matter how much she struggles, she's back to square one.
I feel bad for her.
SEOK-HUN
Why did you want to see me?
I know that someone else…
killed Ro-na.
What?
Is it…
Eun-byeol?
I do suspect her,
but I'm not sure.
There's no evidence.
I think my dad is involved in Ro-na's death.
He has the necklace Eun-byeol was wearing
during her performance.
Dan-tae knew all along that Eun-byeol was the culprit.
He must be blackmailing Seo-jin with it to marry her.
A nice lot in Cheonsu District just became available.
Then I should buy it, of course.
I'll pay 50 million won more than the highest bidder…
No, 100 million more.
I'm counting on you, Mr. Hwang. Thanks.
Gosh, a good lot's become available already?
It was a good call to bribe Mr. Hwang.
If that land becomes mine,
I'll be set for life!
A 130-storey apartment complex will
be built on that land.
Compared to that, Hera Palace is a joke.
My gosh, the Three Queens have incredible sources.
Hurray. Hurray!
What did I tell you?
I said going to Mari Sauna was like attending the Ministry of Land's meetings.
Who would've thought I'd benefit from a scrub mistress?
Let's send Je-ni's mom a few boxes of the nicest exfoliating towels.
Yes, we should.
Honey, we hit the jackpot!
"Mari Sauna"?
"A scrub mistress"?
-Come on, say my name. -Gyu-jin!
I love you!
Hey, Je-ni.
Do you know that candy costs more than 100,000 won a piece?
I mean, if you have a sore throat,
just get cheap candy at the supermarket.
Mind your own business, will you?
Stop picking a fight. Go away.
Isn't that humidifier from Switzerland?
You only use expensive stuff.
All your clothes are from designer brands.
Je-ni, this is not okay.
Did you buy them for me? Did I steal them from you guys?
I use them because I can afford them. Why do you even care?
I have to study, so get lost.
Still, that's not right.
Your mom must've had to scrub
countless people's backs to earn all that money.
Shouldn't you be more frugal?
What?
Who scrubs what?
Hey, you really didn't know?
I was so touched when I heard about
how hard your mom works.
So I prepared a little something for you.
Guys, what are you waiting for?
It's time to give her our gifts.
Ta-da!
-Here you go! -How pretty.
Isn't it so pretty?
My gosh, I'm exhausted.
Why is my wrist aching so much?
It can't break down yet.
Auntie! Is she insane?
What if Je-ni sees this?
Why would she dry these in the living room? My gosh.
Auntie!
I hung them there.
Je-ni.
Well… I can explain.
When were you going to tell me?
If you're that ashamed of your job, why do you even do it?
Quit that job right away.
How did you find out?
I wasn't trying to keep it from you.
I'm sorry, Je-ni.
For what?
Did you steal something? Did you get paid for beating someone up?
Of course not!
Then why did you hide it from me?
I've never done anything I should be ashamed of.
Even if you're embarrassed about it, I can't quit.
What did I do wrong?
I've always pampered you with the finest things.
I've done everything I could for you. Isn't that enough?
MARI SAUNA
Dry them well, or they'll stink.
If you don't satisfy your customers, they won't come again.
Then what will we live off of?
What?
After what happened to Ro-na, I'm not ashamed or scared of anything.
I don't care if the kids make fun of me
or if I can't get into SNU.
The only thing that scares me…
is that someone close to me may leave and never come back.
With Dad gone,
we only have each other to rely on. Why would you keep secrets from me?
I'm your daughter.
Why must I find out about your job through a jerk like Min-hyeok?
Je-ni.
I've run us a bath. Come in when you're ready.
Let me see how good you are.
And don't forget the banana milk!
My princess is all grown up now.
Now that she's found out, should I tell her about her dad too?
Or not?
-Mom, hurry! The water's getting cold. -Yes, okay!
I'm coming!
Here I come!
Come on. Let me scrub your back.
Gosh, stay still.
Your mom's a pro with 25 years of experience.
There's a long line of rich ladies waiting to be scrubbed by me.
Do you not trust my skills?
Gosh, look how dirty your back is!
You were too busy scrubbing others' backs.
My gosh, this is so gross.
What are you talking about?
I bathe every day.
Drink this. Let me learn some scrubbing skills.
Why would you even learn this?
You'll go to Seoul National University and live a very comfortable life.
That's why I'm working so hard.
Are you listening?
Lady, you're awfully chatty.
You don't have to pay me. Just stay still.
Just for today.
Mom!
Mom.
Have some snacks and study.
Did you tell Dad to take me to the US? Is it true?
Your dad has to visit the headquarters.
Go with him and have some fun. Your break's coming up.
You're lying.
You're sending me away to have your wedding!
How could you do this to your daughter?
Mom.
Can you please cancel the wedding?
I can't live without you, Mom.
Please don't abandon me.
I'm so scared, Mom.
Eun-byeol.
You're my everything,
so please don't get remarried.
If I have to go to the US, I want you to come with me.
I just want you in my life, Mom. I don't care about college.
I can give up everything. I mean it.
Why would you give up on college? You worked so hard to come this far.
Don't be so weak. Just do as I say.
I'm staying behind to protect you.
To keep you safe from that monster.
What?
I told you that I'm not angry.
Forget it.
Just focus on planning your wedding with Seo-jin.
Are you sure you'll come in a few days?
Yes, of course.
I'll come as soon as I sort things out at the company and foundation.
Don't worry.
Stay with your dad until I come.
I'm not sure if this is the best thing to do.
Eun-byeol can't find out. Don't say anything about me.
I don't think I can do this. I can't leave you here alone.
Let's just kill Joo Dan-tae
and run away together.
Stop talking nonsense. Just go. Now!
Seo-jin.
Goodbye.
Stay strong, Seo-jin.
You're getting married today.
But you sent your daughter away?
I suppose Dan-tae doesn't make a good stepdad.
Stay out of my family's affairs and please leave this place.
Your child and husband are gone. Why are you still here, all alone?
Because
I like this place.
I also like seeing you all anxious
to kick me out.
And I'm curious to see
how happy you and Dan-tae will be in that penthouse.
What?
And that's why
I'm going to sincerely wish you a happy marriage.
I'll see you later,
Cheon Seo-jin, the happy bride.
Why does my bride's skin look so dry? Did the excitement keep you up all night?
If you couldn't wait, why didn't you suggest we hurry it up?
CHEON SEO-JIN
This is what you need, right? You can register the marriage yourself.
I wanted to rent the entire hotel
and make you the happiest bride in the world,
but your reputation is a bit…
You know.
So we'll keep it simple. I hope you understand.
But you're becoming the owner of the penthouse today,
so enjoy.
Oh, did Eun-byeol leave?
The weather in California must be amazing now.
Don't say her name.
Even if I marry you, Eun-byeol isn't your child. She's a stranger to you.
Oh, that's disappointing.
I was so happy to get another daughter.
Looks like they're really getting married.
Apparently, Eun-byeol left for California.
What? Eun-byeol left?
Where are you going?
SEOK-HUN
Don't answer anyone's calls.
SEOK-HUN
Pull over.
Pull over now.
Pull over!
POLICE
Stay in the car.
Are you Ha Yun-cheol?
Yes, what is this about?
You're under arrest for the murder of Bae Ro-na.
What?
What are you talking about?
Dad! What's going on?
What are you doing to my dad?
Park Jeong-sik, who's in jail for the murder, confessed everything.
He said you bribed him to lie and confess.
Come with us.
Wait, just a second! Something's not right. Wait!
Wait!
I didn't do it! Wait.
Hold on. I need to talk to my daughter. Eun-byeol,
take a cab to the airport right now.
-Okay, Eun-byeol? -Dad!
I'll be fine, so don't worry! Go to the airport now!
-Dad! -You can do this!
Let me go!
Dad!
Dad, no…
Dad!
Dad…
The police just arrested him.
SECRETARY CHO
Good work.
EUN-BYEOL
POWER OFF
Eun-byeol, what's going on? What happened?
Seok-hun…
What do I do?
Thank you, everyone in Hera Club.
We're finally getting married.
You made it happen.
You two are perfect for each other.
Oh, here comes the bride!
Oh, my.
You were wrong, Ro-na.
I will not let you
take anything away from me.
Not my dad,
not Seok-hun,
and certainly not the grand prize trophy.
Eun-byeol, what's wrong?
Ro-na.
It was Ro-na.
I killed Ro-na.
Smile,
as if you're ecstatic. I said, smile.
I'm sorry for realizing this so late.
I loved you, Yun-cheol.
Welcome to hell.
-I need to learn from you. -I killed her.
I'll make you regret it until your heart breaks.
I don't think you're a bad person.
Whatever the reason is, just use me.
I remember everything now.
-Someone else was there? -Why did Ro-na die?
This is a trap.
I need you in order to find out who really killed Ro-na.
I'll find out everything you did even if I must strangle you.
