ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, EVENTS, ORGANIZATIONS AND SETTINGS ARE FICTITIOUS
Ro-na will be disqualified.
Eun-byeol too.
I knew you were behind it.
Eun-byeol is so dumb. She's nothing without her mom.
Hold on.
Who got the job done for you?
That's a secret.
Looks like Je-ni bombed the test too.
-I may be the only one who passed. -It sure isn't an easy school to get into.
But my daughter will get in.
Do you know why your mom is so nice to the two of you now?
Why?
She wants to become your sole guardian so she can take
all the inheritance your birth mother left to you.
Mom's not that kind of a person.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's true.
She also had something to do with your birth mother's death.
Then…
did Logan really kill my birth mother
because of Mom?
-Apologies. -Excuse the mess.
-Sorry. -We're sorry.
Sim Su-ryeon?
You're Baek Jun-gi, right?
Let go. I'm going to kill that scum.
Baek Jun-gi.
Who are you?
My daughter's there.
I won't let her see her father get killed. Never!
Was I seeing things?
Dad.
What's going on?
Nothing. Let's eat.
Why did you stop me? Who do you think you are to stop me?
I'm Sim Su-ryeon.
Sim Su-ryeon?
Where have you been all along?
I was searching everywhere for you.
What were you doing when Logan died?
Answer me!
Logan's older brother visited Mom at home.
-When? -It has been a while.
Why is Logan's family coming to my home?
There's nothing between Mom and that man.
It's disgusting to even think about it.
Seok-gyeong. Can you do me a favor?
Drink this. It'll help you calm down.
I was frightened. I came to Korea solely on Logan's word,
but he died in front of my eyes.
I thought I might get framed as his murderer,
so I just ran off.
I'm sorry.
I have so many questions for you.
Why did Logan bring you here to see me?
What's your story, Mr. Baek?
My real name is Joo Dan-tae.
I'm not Baek Jun-gi.
Joo Dan-tae?
You're Joo Dan-tae?
Mr. Baek was…
a helping hand for my father when he began his business in Korea.
I treated him like he was my older brother.
Soon after our family moved to Japan,
Mr. Baek came in the middle of the night.
How can you…
This isn't who you are. You're a nice guy.
That nice guy is long gone.
Give me my money!
Open the safe, now!
You son of a bitch.
Honey!
Mom…
There was one more rat here.
There you are.
Jun-gi!
The safe code.
Tell me the safe code.
Then I'll let you live.
-Tell me! -One, nine.
One, nine.
Seven, one.
Zero, five, one…
-One, nine. -One, nine.
Seven, one, zero, five, one, nine.
You chicken.
WANTED: MURDER SUSPECT
KOREAN NAME: BAEK JUN-GI
How could he do something so horrible?
When I came back to myself,
I was locked up in a mental hospital.
The police thought he was dead.
Even though he was publicly wanted, they couldn't find him.
But he changed his name.
To my name, Joo Dan-tae.
He was living a perfect life as Joo Dan-tae when we married.
He was a University of Tokyo graduate,
had parents that ran a resort in Osaka who passed due to an unfortunate accident.
And he had many guests from Japan at our wedding.
-Are you saying he lied about everything? -He must have paid people.
Baek Jun-gi was an orphan.
He stole my identity and even married you.
If he wanted money, I could have given him as much as he wanted.
Why did he kill my innocent parents? Why?
I'm going to kill him myself.
Is this…
why Logan brought you here?
He said he'll expose Baek Jun-gi's past
and make sure he never makes a return.
But…
That day, I saw Baek Jun-gi there.
It was definitely him.
He was disguised as an old man, but I know those wicked eyes.
They were the same as 27 years ago.
-An old man? -I've never forgotten those eyes.
He killed Logan. I saw him!
He must have made an escape from prison.
Then the awful metallic sound was
from Joo Dan-tae?
I felt helpless.
I was afraid he'd try to kill me again.
I should have come and seen you earlier.
I picked it up at the scene that day.
It's the ring Logan brought for you.
It seemed like he cared for you a lot
He was excited about his proposal during our entire trip here.
Do you still hold to what you said?
That you'll kill Joo Dan-tae.
Of course. I'll pay him back for all he did to me.
Now that I'm back under his name,
I'll make sure I remind him of every single thing he did to me.
Can you take the test tomorrow after crying all day today?
Your voice is cracking.
Why is everyone suspicious of me?
What idiot would leave their phone there? It's so obvious.
Someone must have put it there on purpose to get you disqualified.
It's Seok-gyeong.
Wasn't she acting fishy while waiting?
Her number was before you, so she went in first.
People who were there were Eun-byeol and Ms. Jin.
Ms. Jin?
May I have your attention, please?
Mobile phones and recorders are strictly not allowed in the room.
Please remove hair bands
and other accessories that could make you stand out.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
SNU isn't the only college, so focus on the rest of the tests.
I won't just let this go.
Drink your tea.
Je-ni doesn't know that you served time
for murder, does she?
No, of course not.
I'll take it to the grave.
No. No way.
No, my dad isn't like that. No. Never!
No, my dad isn't like that.
No!
OPYEONG DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT
Did you check the CCTV cameras?
Don't worry. It's all dealt with, sir.
-And the pottery? -I got them.
Let's hurry.
-Let's go. -This way.
CONSTRUCTION, STAFF ONLY
All right.
Okay, so this is it.
-Let's go. -It's deeper than you think.
Watch your feet.
-Whoa, hey! -The pottery!
-Gyu-jin! -These stairs are rubbish!
What a bunch of dimwits.
Chairman Joo, cover it up.
Toad, Toad,
I'll give you Opyeong. Give me Cheonsu.
OPYEONG DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT
Good work, Dong-pil!
All right!
I brought cold sikhye for you. Have some.
Thanks.
Yun-cheol.
-Come here now. -Sure.
My little brother. You've been adorable lately.
-Thank you. -So did Eun-byeol's test go all right?
She had a test?
Goodness. Right, you don't live in Hera Palace now.
A commoner like you wouldn't know.
We haven't been in touch for a while.
Isn't that a little harsh on your only daughter?
Wouldn't that make her sad?
Right.
I'm sure the twins will both get into SNU.
-Congratulations in advance, Mr. Chairman. -Thanks.
Seoul National University? That chance is long gone.
My gosh.
You didn't know, did you?
Seok-hun didn't take the performance test.
What did you say?
Min-hyeok is quick with information because he takes after me,
and he said your son, Seok-hun, ran off without taking the test.
Goodness, why did he do that? He's such a model student.
You can't afford to be worried about his family.
Your daughter didn't sing a note, so she's automatically disqualified.
Why wouldn't Je-ni sing? What happened to her?
What happened?
-How would I know? -Be quiet!
Je-ni, you can't go alone. I'm coming with you.
You'll be busy taking two performance tests a day.
We have little time to get to Sinchon from Seocho-dong.
Should we have hired a motorcyclist?
-I'm going alone. Don't follow me. -Wait, Je-ni.
What happened to your voice? Did you cry? Did you catch a cold?
Je-ni. You haven't left yet. That's great. I'll take you. Let's go.
Honey, this is bad.
Je-ni's voice is gone. What are we going to do?
You were doing fine.
What happened?
Je-ni.
Is something going on? What's wrong? Yesterday, you…
What?
I heard you didn't sing at SNU yesterday.
-Is that true? -You didn't sing?
What is he talking about? Have you gone crazy?
You've waited for that day for the last 12 years.
Je-ni, come on. It's okay. You can tell me.
-My goodness. -Je-ni.
You rascal. You can't do that to your dad! Show some respect!
How long were you going to fool me?
Did you think you could keep it a secret forever?
Dad's passport…
hasn't been touched for six years.
Dubai? How can he go there with an expired passport?
That must have been an old passport.
He kept sending you gifts from the construction site in Dubai--
Enough is enough!
Are you really a murderer?
Did you really kill someone?
Je-ni, there's more to this story.
What story is there when he killed someone?
How many secrets did you keep from me?
You scrub people at a sauna and Dad's a murderer!
How many more secrets do you have?
I thought we could finally be happy together.
What is this mess? Everything is ruined!
Who told you? Who?
Why is that important? Everything's true!
It is important! Who told you?
Je-ni doesn't know that you served time
for murder, does she?
If Seok-gyeong knows,
the entire school knows.
Joo Dan-tae, that son of a bitch. I can't stand him anymore.
I'll cut off that scum's throat and go to prison!
No!
Don't try to stop me! I'm not going to just sit around.
If you won't do it, I will!
I didn't say I'll just sit around.
-I'll do it. -But when?
Give me some time
until I find the evidence.
What evidence?
That it was Joo Dan-tae
who killed that woman,
not me.
Where is the evidence?
The fountain here at Hera Palace.
Her body is there.
-What? -So please…
Just wait.
I'll make sure
I dig up that body again.
What?
What do you want?
Man.
Logan?
No, stop!
No!
Logan, you bastard.
How dare you harass me from your grave? That annoying jerk.
Do you like it?
I knew it'd look good on you.
Thank you.
I'm never going to forgive him.
I'll make sure…
he pays the price for taking your life.
Seok-hun.
Why didn't you take the test yesterday? You really won't go to college?
I'll go to college. Just not SNU.
It looked like Dad got involved.
I didn't want to get in using a pathetic trick.
Why did he do that? You're talented enough to get in.
He must've wanted to make it a sure thing.
Isn't that how parents feel? They'll do everything for their kids.
Wait, did you ask him for something?
What are you talking about? I'm talented enough to get in too.
You aren't the only hotshot.
It looks like there's something going on between her and your dad.
I heard Ro-na was disqualified yesterday.
I'll keep my eyes on Seok-gyeong.
If she takes a step further,
I won't forgive her.
Why are you here?
I called him.
I needed him to run an errand.
I gave Assemblyman Bong a call.
-He'll know what it is. -Yes, sir.
When we're with others, you said I needed to show you a smile.
How does it feel to be home?
You had it great when you were here.
You still seemed like a country bumpkin, yet you loved to show off.
-This is the life that suits me better. -So you're staying at some guest house?
-Why didn't you take the studio apartment? -I'd rather not have anything.
Please don't worry about my family or house, Mr. Chairman.
Make sure you eat well.
I hear street food isn't too bad these days.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll put it to good use.
What do you think?
It was too funny to see him by myself.
You finally found your perfect job.
Joo Dan-tae's loyal dog. It really suits you.
So you won't even talk to me?
You'll pay dearly for betraying Eun-byeol and me.
Say whatever you want. I'm on the edge of a precipice anyway.
Chairman Joo is the only one who will help me out.
Make sure you hold onto him tightly. I might just cut him off.
Or I might push you off.
Was Seo-jin behind what happened at the test?
I don't think it was her. Eun-byeol messed up on her test too.
-Then who could it be? -There is someone I'm suspicious of,
but she wouldn't do that to Eun-byeol.
Don't you think it could be Seok-gyeong?
Her free pass to SNU was canceled,
so I'm sure she was enraged.
I want to say it wasn't her,
but I'm not sure.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. We don't know anything for sure.
Ro-na must have been devastated after finally changing her mind.
She is.
How's work?
I'm doing my best. I have quite a few customers.
Logan's money disappeared.
A total of ten billion dollars.
Do you know anything about it?
Me?
How would I know anything about it?
That's a lot of money.
Also, Logan and I weren't really close. You know that already.
Once I go back to the States,
I'm receiving an inheritance under Seol-a's name.
It'll be about ten billion dollars.
I plan on creating a foundation to sponsor talented kids,
just as Seol-a needed.
Will you…
take care of the money?
Sorry?
Why would I do that?
You can do it yourself.
Since Su-ryeon is back, you should ask her.
I'm asking you because I can't ask her.
Why not?
Anyway, I don't want to.
Why are you asking me to do this? How can you trust me?
What if I take that money and run off?
I can't help it.
If my judgment of you is wrong, that's my burden to bear.
But Yun-hui, I always thought you had both good and evil in you.
That's why I'm asking you. Only you can do this.
This is the key to the secret vault I own in Korea.
BANK OF SEOUL
I won't care
how you decide to use that money.
However,
I have one favor to ask of you.
What is it?
Don't be alarmed, and listen up.
You cannot mention what I'm about to tell you
to Su-ryeon. Never.
Su-ryeon's child…
might be alive.
I have to get back to work.
Let's talk again later.
Yun-hui.
You aren't…
keeping any secrets from me, are you?
What secrets? What do I have to hide from you?
Do you…
still not trust me?
I trust you.
I trust you, Yun-hui.
Ten billion dollars?
How much is that? Thousand, one, ten…
Ten trillion won?
Ten trillion won? Wait.
After Logan died, ten trillion won disappeared with him?
I'm telling you.
It's so obvious. I'm sure whoever killed Logan
stole that money too. That's why they dared to kill him.
If they targeted the heir of an American billionaire,
they must have had a good reason.
Wait.
Then was it Chairman Joo?
Why?
Did he kill Logan?
What are you talking about?
You might end up blaming an innocent guy!
This is just my guess,
but I think Yun-hui completely betrayed Logan.
You think Yun-hui took it?
Otherwise, how could she buy a house and open a shop in Hera Palace?
The key money is already a fortune.
Also, Su-ryeon was suspicious of Yun-hui earlier today.
Man, that's very bold of her. How did she pocket ten trillion won?
Anyway, I wonder if Chairman Joo knows.
I have identified that man who came to Korea with Logan.
Who is it?
He's a Korean-Japanese man, living in Japan.
Japan?
Was his name Baek Jun-gi?
Yes, sir. And he hasn't left Seoul.
Find out where he is right away. I need to see who this punk is.
It can't be him. No.
There's no way.
Publish every single video of my unreleased shows on all web portals.
And get reporters and stooges who'll upload articles and comments.
As for the title…
"The tragedy of a prima donna who had to retire in her prime."
That sounds about right.
Everyone needs to know that Cheon Seo-jin is back.
Yes, Ms. Cheon.
And…
Eun-byeol was disqualified from SNU's performance test for cheating.
"Disqualified"?
Why?
Eun-byeol was caught with Ro-na's phone in her outfit.
Ro-na was also disqualified.
There is no way Ro-na would have done something that daring.
It must have been someone who wanted both of them gone.
Joo Dan-tae pulled something yet again.
Je-ni!
-What are you doing? Have you gone crazy? -Let me go! Just let me go!
What's going on?
Why would you die when even I'm alive?
I was disqualified unfairly but I'm still here.
-So why would you try to kill yourself? -I can't live like you!
I can't live as a murderer's kid.
What are you on about?
Tell me, Je-ni. What's wrong?
My dad killed someone.
He was locked up in prison all along.
What if everyone found out?
I'll be bullied again. They will treat me like vermin again.
I don't want to go back to that.
I already know what it's like.
I'd rather die.
Don't worry.
How would anyone find out?
Seok-gyeong knows.
Soon everyone at school will know.
That's why you failed the test yesterday?
How did you hold out?
I'm so scared and anxious that I'm about to go crazy.
I'm more scared of getting bullied than not getting into university.
Just thinking about it makes me go crazy!
Don't cry. There's no reason for you to cry.
We have tests tomorrow too. Save your voice.
Let's not sit around and take this like idiots.
THE ROAD TO OMAKASE
I want to get newspaper subscriptions, but I don't know how.
So do that for me, okay? It's for 200 people.
Look, the head of the desk showed up himself.
Maybe he'll get into politics later.
Now, let's all grab a drink, and then get back to work.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Cheers.
I want the titles to be very provocative.
-Use quotation marks. -Quotation marks!
-Artifacts. -Artifacts. Bam!
That's the key.
Fabulous.
ARTIFACTS FOUND IN OPYEONG
Here.
-Thank you. -Sure.
If Opyeong's redevelopment is canceled,
there'll be no room for apartments in the capital region.
But Cheonsu District is ready for construction any time.
I need you, assemblymen, to help the district get selected as a new town.
-Yes, of course. -Sure.
-Anything for you, Chairman Joo. -Yes.
-We'll do our best. -We should help.
-Of course, we'll help. -Let's drink.
-Goodness. -Sure.
-All right. -This is nice.
Gosh, that was much easier than I thought.
So when will they announce this?
They will look for the perfect time.
I already got the reporters working, so don't worry about the media.
Once Cheonsu District is selected again,
Cheong-a Construction will get the deal. Then the stock price will skyrocket,
and we just have to rake in all the cash.
But Chairman Joo, you barely have any property there.
Na Ae-gyo sold everything to us.
I'll take everything back,
one by one, from that bitch, Sim Su-ryeon.
I'm in a good mood. Let's drink. We'll bring Yun-cheol.
Anyway, I heard a huge amount of money
disappeared after Logan's death.
-Have you heard? -What do you mean?
Logan left it to that woman temporarily, but he suddenly died.
So rumors say Oh Yun-hui took all of his money.
Ten trillion won.
Oh Yun-hui took ten trillion won?
Ten trillion won…
Yes, I'll be there right away, sir.
CHEON SEO-JIN: SPECIAL SHOW IN THE U.S.
What are you doing out here? It's cold.
Ms. Jin.
What were you up to?
Nothing.
Why were you watching this?
Well, a video of Mom's performance just popped up.
This was the first time. Give me my phone.
Since I can't see my mom, I'll just watch this.
"Mom"? She's not your mom.
This woman abandoned you. Did you forget?
Your real mom is the one by your side-- me, Jin Bun-hong!
Didn't I tell you never to betray me?
You dumb brat. How many times do I have to tell you?
Just don't bring up your mom. Is that so hard?
How can you go to university with a stupid head like that?
Don't ever make me angry again. Do you understand?
Answer me!
Do you understand?
It's cold.
You might catch a cold.
Let's go home. I'll make warm udon for you.
Great work, everyone. It's on me tonight, so let's have a nice time.
After I came back out in the world from my time in prison,
I realized how sweet these drinks are.
This would taste like honey in that hell.
If I were still behind bars, you'd all be dead…
-We were there too. -We were all there.
Dan-tae!
How long has it been?
Wait. 25 years? No, has it been 27 years?
It's been so long.
Do I know you?
It's me, Jun-gi. Baek Jun-gi.
Did you forget me?
Baek Jun-gi?
That's right.
Who is he?
Who is this new face? You two seem very close, Chairman Joo.
Hello.
Who knew I'd run into this good friend?
May I join you for a moment?
Hey, hold on. This isn't--
We grew up together in the same house.
We're like real brothers.
Right?
I'm Baek Jun-gi.
You can call me "Mr. Baek" for short.
Mr. Baek. You look like a nice guy.
Now that I'm back in Korea after so long, I really wanted to see you.
Who knew I'd run into you here?
-Let me pour you one. -We last saw each other in Japan, right?
This must be fate, don't you think?
Anyway, nice to meet you, Baek.
He never tells us anything about his time in Japan,
so we were always very curious.
Will you tell us some stories tonight?
Shall I?
Let's drink.
-I have many stories to tell. -All right, cheers.
Spare me a second.
-When Dan-tae was in Japan… -Hey, hold on.
-Let's talk. -Shall we?
I suppose he wants to catch up with me. Excuse me for a minute.
-What's your problem? -Hey, what's with you?
My suit will get all wrinkled.
You know I hate wrinkled clothes.
Anyway, I almost couldn't recognize you.
Your shoes are spotless.
How did you get out? Who got you out?
Why?
Did you think I'd rot away in that dark mental hospital forever?
Is that why you stole my name with so much confidence?
You even killed my parents.
How could you think of living as Joo Dan-tae?
-You're shameless. -I asked you how you got out!
A man named Logan came to see me at the hospital.
He said someone stole my identity and was living a lavish, comfortable life.
He asked if I felt wronged.
I never imagined you'd be living like this as a chairman.
My gosh. Talk about a success story.
You sure don't look like a beggar anymore.
Oh, you don't want to hear these things?
But those people in there must really want to know.
Shut your mouth.
Just be grateful you're alive and get lost at once.
You won't get a second miracle.
Come on!
This much, I can defend against now.
You don't seem to be in a good mood, so I'll just get going.
See you soon. I have a lot to tell you. I really do.
Damn it.
Follow the guy who's leaving now. Find out where he lives and whom he sees.
Shit.
You lost him?
You crazy idiot, are you kidding me? I want your resignation tomorrow!
Hey, you're home.
You…
Why are you here?
Seo-jin. You have a beautiful home.
What a view! My, I've always dreamed of living in a place like this.
-Hey, you… -What is wrong with you?
We're staying out of each other's life, but you should've let me know.
Seo-jin. Can I really stay here for a few days?
Dan-tae said yes, but I hate being a burden.
What are you talking about? When did I say yes?
Well, it's just for a few days. That wouldn't be a problem.
Have you forgotten what our manual says?
"Smile sweetly when third parties are around."
I'm doing my best to be nice to your guest.
Thank you, Seo-jin.
Let's discuss the details tomorrow. I'm really tired now.
You're the best, Seo-jin.
Have you lost your mind? How dare you set foot in here?
Watch your mouth.
My heart still races like crazy when I see you.
Because I'm reminded of that day.
I want to take it easy tonight. You should get some rest too.
You don't look so well.
I can use that room, right?
You brazen rat. You have the nerve to threaten me?
How dare you come here?
What can you even do…
So? Is it going well?
Obviously, I expected this much when I came here.
-Can't you be more creative? -You son of a…
Jeez.
Use your brain a little,
will you?
Get lost.
I'm tired.
Jeez, take this.
Looks like he has something on Dan-tae.
Dad, I know you can do that much for me.
I must go to SNU with Seok-hun.
Make sure he can take the test again.
You said you'd do anything for me.
I'm really grateful for what you did to Ro-na.
So use your connections again and help Seok-hun…
Seok-gyeong!
-Seok-hun. -You've been scheming with Dad?
Did you ask him to get Ro-na disqualified? Did you?
-You'd better tell me the truth. -Just pretend you know nothing about it.
Why must you live like this?
When are you going to stop? Why is college so important to you?
That's not what this is about.
Then?
I hate Mom.
It's driving me crazy.
Mom's back, but I'm still lonely.
I want her to only care for me, but that's not the case. To her…
She cares about Ro-na more.
She doesn't care at all about what I want.
That is because
what you want is ridiculous.
You have no right to meddle in someone else's life.
Both Ro-na and Eun-byeol always…
dreamed of going to SNU.
You better care for your own sister first.
And stop dating around.
I was praying it wouldn't be the case.
Was it really you, Seok-gyeong?
Can you be proud of yourself
if you must trample on others to climb higher?
I don't care about stuff like that. Why can't I get what's in my reach?
When Dad was arrested, no one even felt bad for us.
Dad has the power to do it, so why should I say no?
The SNU interview today…
Don't go. Give it up.
Says who? Who are you to decide?
-I can't let you go to that school. -Too bad. I will go to SNU.
Just let it go, and everything will be okay.
You can do that much for me, right?
If you truly love me, please do that for me. Okay?
Don't you feel sorry for me?
Please.
Please let me go to the interview.
If I miss it, I won't get in.
You don't have to feel bad. Just go.
Have you lost your mind?
Mom, I have to go to the interview!
Let me out, Mom. I said, let me out!
-Please. -I have to go.
-Do not let her out, no matter what. -Mom!
Let me out!
Are you all right?
Mom!
-I'm fine. Don't worry. -This isn't funny.
Open up!
I really can't miss the interview.
Mom! Please…
Su-ryeon, what are you doing?
Come closer and I'll slit his throat.
I told you to stay away from my daughter.
My daughter? Don't be ridiculous. You're just her stepmother.
You're right. Be thankful that she's your blood
because that's the only reason I'm keeping you alive.
Your blood could be useful to my kids in the future.
Don't destroy Seok-gyeong any further.
If you're really her father, you'll leave her alone.
Are you okay, sir?
What the hell were you doing? You little…
He needs to be taught a lesson.
Get dressed. Let's go.
Mom, are you serious?
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Where are we going, Mom?
Mom!
Why did you bring me here?
CHEONG-A ARTS HIGH SCHOOL
ANTI-BULLYING COMMITTEE
Mom, what are you doing?
We will now begin the anti-bullying committee.
Please raise your hand
if you've ever been bullied by Joo Seok-gyeong.
Oh, dear.
What do you think you're doing?
You were all bullies like me. You're putting the blame on me now?
Are you?
You threatened us into bullying other kids.
You threatened us that your dad would kick us out of the SNU prep class.
We had no choice but to obey you, so what were we supposed to do?
Tell us the truth. You cheated on the test, didn't you?
Do you have proof?
Can you prove that I did it?
I heard it.
You asked Dad to get Ro-na disqualified.
Seok-hun.
You intentionally shook me up just before the test.
Blame your sensitivity.
Joo Seok-gyeong!
Apologize to them.
If you sincerely apologize, you can avoid the worst punishment.
This is your last chance.
Okay.
I will sincerely apologize.
I'm really sorry, guys.
For influencing pushovers like you.
ANTI-BULLYING COMMITTEE
Stop doing as you're told, and start thinking for yourselves.
And you, Je-ni.
I'm really sorry for telling you your dad's a murderer.
Seok-gyeong!
-What? -Murderer?
-For real? -Seriously?
I didn't know it'd be such a shock to you.
I just thought you should know. What's the big deal?
That malicious little…
-Calm down. -Yes.
You're right.
My dad was convicted of murder. However,
he served six years to pay for what he did.
You, of all people, have no right to criticize me like this.
We're in the same boat, aren't we?
Actually, no.
You're worse for trying to use that to hold leverage over me.
CHEONG-A ARTS HIGH
I will now
announce the committee's decision on our student, Joo Seok-gyeong.
Seok-gyeong.
You're expelled.
What did you just say?
I'm expelled?
That means I can't go to college.
The result will not be reversed. As the chief director of the school
and Seok-gyeong's mother,
I sincerely apologize to all the victims.
How could you do this to your daughter? I'm done with you for good.
Let's go, Eun-byeol. What a fuss over nothing at all.
Good for you. You made the right decision, Mom.
My baby, you're all grown up now.
DAD
Dad.
You said you needed me to do something.
What is it?
What do you need me to do?
I'll do anything you tell me to do.
You're all I have now, Dad.
All right. Calm down.
I'll call you later, so wait for me.
Okay.
Was that Seok-gyeong? Is everything okay?
Apparently,
Je-ni reported her to the anti-bullying committee.
She claims that she bombed her test
because she found out her dad is a criminal.
Did you know about it?
You knew everything!
You knew that I told Seok-gyeong!
But you kept hovering around me, calling me "Mr. Chairman"
and acting all servile, didn't you? Didn't you?
I made your precious princess cry. I bet you wanted to kill me!
That's right.
I wanted to kill you.
I was so resentful that I wanted to kill you.
You shattered my daughter's heart,
and my heart ached a million times more for her!
The pain
ripped my heart to shreds.
I can…
I can feel that way too, right?
I'm a father too.
What did you say, jerk?
Let's be honest. Didn't you tell Seok-gyeong
because you wanted it to reach me?
Since I'm the murderer anyway.
Not you.
But you see, I will keep my promise
as long as you don't betray me.
I must say, I love how straightforward you are.
This is why I'm so fond of you, Mr. Yoo.
We've known each other for years.
I'm actually glad this happened.
I couldn't keep lying to my daughter forever.
You know how hot-tempered my wife is.
She was going to come after you, but I stopped her.
I deserve some credit.
As for what Seok-gyeong did… I apologize on her behalf.
She got her temper from me, so she's awfully impatient.
Come on.
My gosh, thank you.
Stand up straight now.
Chairman Joo! Let's play!
Come on, Mr. Baek.
Hi.
I ran into him out front. He said he's scheduled to see you.
By the way, I heard you two are living together!
I came here to go home with you.
-I asked Seo-jin to cook us a nice meal. -Really?
Then let Gyu-jin join you! I haven't seen Seo-jin in a while.
I can come, right?
-No, it's… -Gyu-jin.
Of course, you can join us. Right?
My, I have to say, I feel like I've found my long-lost little brother.
Hey, where have you been?
-Right here! -Really?
-Let's go, Dong-pil! -Yes.
-Off we go! -Coming through!
-Come here, Mr. Baek. Let's drink. -Gosh.
Come on. Come here.
Check everything. The plating's important.
-Pink and purple flowers. -Nice!
Make it beautiful and harmonious. Yes, right 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.
I think it's connected.
-See… -I heard about what happened.
Thanks to you, Eun-byeol was disqualified.
You did something quite gutsy.
I guess the card I'm holding isn't much of a threat to you.
-That was… -So?
-Do you like the food? -That's what I'm saying.
Yes, of course.
I'm really enjoying everything,
but I'm not sure if Dan-tae is.
Why wouldn't he be? This is his favorite course meal.
He has such expensive taste. He only eats food cooked by hotel chefs.
-Everyone knows that about him. -What?
You've changed too much.
You used to love stuff like pupa soup, chicken gizzards, and pork rinds.
What? Pupa soup?
Dan-tae hates things like that.
Right, I see that he's changed a lot.
He used to wear the same pair of trainers all the time.
Now, he wears nice suits and dress shoes.
I'm surprised by how much someone can change.
My gosh, I can't even picture any of that.
I'm even more curious now! Jun-gi, do you have any old photos?
There is no such thing!
What are you talking about? I have some on me.
-Nice! -My gosh!
-Wow! Show us!. -Let's see.
You'll be so embarrassed.
-Ta-da! -Come on! This is gold!
-Come on now! What is it? Show us… -Know when to stop.
My gosh.
Let's see your embarrassing photo!
Show us, Chairman Joo! Show us!
Show us! Show us…
-Honey! -I told you to stop!
Damn it.
I can't believe he threw you down.
What's with him? He's so nasty.
Maybe…
He got a whole new face to look like that!
My goodness.
We used to call him
Dan-tae the Petty-minded.
-What? He's nasty and petty-minded? -That's right!
Dan-tae the Petty-minded! Dan-tae the Petty-minded!
KOREAN NAME: BAEK JUN-GI
That lunatic…
Do you feel guilty?
They're just curious. You didn't have to ruin the mood.
What are you up to? What is it that you want?
Stop playing around. Just tell me what you want!
Do you feel wronged? What are you so angry about?
You'd think I stole something from you.
You ran off with my family's money and lived a nice life with my name,
so it's time you gave back.
Give your little brother some pocket money for everything he went through.
Let's have beondegi tang and soju, your favorite. My treat.
The memories will come flooding back.
-It'll be nice. -What are you two doing here?
Hey, I don't need to see the photo.
Come on. Let's have some fun!
I'm coming.
I'm coming, okay?
Let's go.
I will make you regret
not dying with your parents back then.
You crazy rat.

I'll transfer 27 Cheonsu District

Trust no one else but me. I'll turn your life around.
Have you eaten yet?
Let's go eat.
The plan to redevelop Opyeong District has been canceled
due to the discovery of rare, valuable artifacts.
The Ministry of Land held a briefing to look for alternatives,
and Cheonsu District is once again considered a viable alternative.
The controversy surrounding…
Nice!
CHEONSU CONSIDERED FOR REDEVELOPMENT
Pour me one.
-Congratulations, Chairman Joo. -Thank you!
-Congratulations, Gyu-jin. -Due to this, the housing market…
-All right, cheers! -Cheers!
Cheers!
Experts say Cheonsu District is fit for redevelopment…
Some people are just luckier than others!
Many are hoping it'll move along quickly
-once the plan is announced. -My gosh.
How are things between you and Seok-gyeong?
Maybe you should have let her graduate at least.
If she doesn't graduate, she can't go to college this year.
Logan once told me
that I wouldn't be able to go back
to being the twins' mom once I decided to avenge Seol-a.
But I disagree.
I trust that the twins will come to understand and forgive me someday.
Hi, Hye-in. It's me.
Mom, I'm almost done with my rehab. I can return to Korea soon.
My gosh, really? Did your doctor permit it?
Yes. I'm so excited to see you, Mom.
By the way, I haven't heard from Logan in a while.
Tell him I'm sad.
Oh, he's…
He's very busy these days.
I miss you so much too, Hye-in.
Come home soon.
I miss you too.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, talk soon.
Is Hye-in coming back?
Her treatment is almost over. I should look after her now.
She doesn't know what happened to Logan, right?
Logan took such good care of her, so she was very fond of him.
I'll tell her when she's back.
Su-ryeon.
You said Joo Dan-tae switched Seol-a and Hye-in.
Which hospital was it?
Why do you ask?
To see if we can find Hye-in's birth mom.
Why would you find her?
She accepted Dan-tae's offer and gave up her child for money.
Maybe she regrets it. Who knows?
I'll look into it quietly.
Mirae OB-GYN.
MIRAE OB-GYN
Ms. Sim Su-ryeon? Yes, I remember her.
She was transferred here from the US in serious condition
and was hospitalized here for a while.
I'd like to check her records.
Her baby got switched while she was in the incubator.
At this hospital?
That is impossible.
It's already been verified.
I'd like to contact the other baby's mother.
Even if it's true,
we cannot give out our patients' personal information.
But the clinic is responsible for what happened to the babies.
You refuse to cooperate?
Then I will have to come back with the police.
This patient and Ms. Sim gave birth around the same time,
and she was a single mother.
Here's her contact info.
Thank you.
I'll make sure you and this hospital won't be affected by this.
By any chance, does the record say Ms. Sim gave birth to twins?
No. Just a baby girl.

Okay, thank you.
NEVER STOP DIGGING
Find this person as soon as you can.
It seems like she has moved. I can't find her.
CEO OH MAN-SIK
I can pay you as much as you want.
CEO SIM SU-RYEON
It's been a while. Have you found anything?
Dan-tae's friend who used to live with him is staying with us at the moment.
His name is Baek Jun-gi. Try digging. You'll find something.
That's it?
That's all you could find out when you planted a bug?
I'm disappointed.
He's so paranoid that he changes his phone every week.
That app got deleted long ago.
Just give me some time.
I'll bring you something huge soon.
But more importantly…
Are you aware that Yun-hui is spending money like a drunken sailor?
Where did she get the money?
What if
she has an ulterior motive?
I hope she's not scheming with Dan-tae behind your back.
-Watch what you say. -She's betrayed you once.
So you know what she's capable of.
Be careful of her.
No matter how desperate I am,
I will never trust Oh Yun-hui.
KOREAN NAME: BAEK JUN-GI
Joo Dan-tae?
-"Baek Jun-gi…" -Seo-jin.
That's not very fair.
Dan-tae is a wanted criminal?
She's dead?
I tracked her down with what you gave me. Turns out, she died six years ago.
Six years ago? She was still young. Was it an accident?
She was the victim of a murder case.
A murder case?
"Cheongpyeong Dam Bodiless Murder"?
The police couldn't find the body anywhere near Cheongpyeong Dam,
where the killer claimed to have abandoned it.
That's how the case closed.
Who was the killer? What was the motive?
You can read all about him on the next page.

About Baek Jun-gi… Did you set it up?
She was my first love.
I'm worried about sending you alone. Let's go together.
-I know it's Joo Dan-tae. -How much does she know?
This is my final warning.
Whatever you saw or found out…
-Watch what you say. -Let me tell you the truth then.
You'll be the cause of Su-ryeon's death.
