Original subtitles

I will punish you with my own hands.

You two will be tortured right where you are,

even before you're thrown down into the hottest pit of fire.

Just wait.

(Episode 1)

Here.

It's all right. No one can tell.

Come on. Stand still.

Perfect.

Are you done appreciating me?

Your father is waiting.

You have to go to work very early every single day,

so that's my present.

You always see me off even though I leave so early,

so this is my present.

You have no idea, do you?

What?

I always wait for this time.

You leave early every day and return home late after work.

Then, you practically collapse and go to sleep.

But now, we can look at each other and chat with a smile.

It's my happiest hour.

It's a shame that it flies by so quickly.

Ms. Jae In, the chairman is leaving.

All right.

I must've talked for too long.

You should go, honey.

Now, start scanning.

- What? - Then, you can remember...

what your husband looks like all day long, not just now.

You said it made you happy.

Should I do the same?

Have a great day.

Where's Seung Woo?

He just started.

He looked tired, so let him sleep in.

There's nothing for a rank-and-file worker to do...

even if he goes to work this early.

He's not just a mere employee.

He needs to set an example.

- Dad, you have a morning meeting. - Yes.

Have a great day.

All right.

The chairman has been concerned about his work lately,

so his blood pressure went up.

Make sure you keep an eye on him.

Yes, I'll go.

Drive safely, okay?

Bye.

Don't show him too much love.

He'll forget his place...

and become haughty, thinking he's somebody.

But he is somebody.

Not only was he a former prosecutor, but he also proved his competence...

by doing a great job at work,

and Dad approved of him, too.

I'm just grateful that I married a man like him.

Gi Chan should be grateful, not you.

The upper class is not the same as the working class.

There are different levels in these classes.

We're all people.

We love each other and are married.

It seems so vulgar to talk about class...

It seems less classy, Mom.

Let's not bicker this early.

Don't take it the wrong way.

What I mean is this.

Forget his background or whatever.

It's easier both physically and emotionally...

for a woman to receive love than to give love.

I like to give love.

And he likes to give love, too.

Isn't that enough?

Hey, Mom. You didn't forget about lunch, right?

I don't know. I hoped I'd forget it,

but I should go. What else can I do?

We should go. Okay?

Let us begin.

Yes, sir. Let me share the most important agenda first.

We're holding this meeting today to reinforce our strategy...

to bid for the factory in China.

Please look over the files...

for countermeasures by department and the list of potential risks.

(Director of Planning Hwang Gi Chan)

Hey, I was in a meeting.

Are you home?

It'd be great if you came. But it's just wishful thinking.

Stop teasing me.

Are you serious?

Yes, all right.

I'll be there later.

Okay. Wait for me.

So, I won't be home when you're back from kindergarten.

It's all right. I'm not a baby anymore.

Yes, you're right.

You're now a child, not just a baby, Eun Ho.

Hey, we're here.

Eun Ho, take your backpack.

All right.

Goodbye, Mommy.

Have a great day. Okay?

Bye.

Sir, the thing with funds is this.

There's not a lot of difference between investment and gambling.

If you hit the jackpot, it's an investment,

and if you lose everything, you call it gambling.

What? If you don't get your principal back,

I have to pull out my liver, kidney, and eyes to pay you back?

My gosh. Sir, don't be so scary.

Yes, sir. Just give me two days.

I'll get your principal back in two days.

This time, I mean it. Give me just two days.

Yes, sir. I'll reach out to you. Goodbye.

Mother, I'm going to work.

Honey, have some before you go.

I made it for you.

I have an appointment with a patient.

Honey.

Have you considered what I mentioned last night?

I don't have any money. You already know that.

I do know that.

I know I'm praising myself, but this is a really good fund.

There's a low risk with a high chance of return.

Why don't you ask our sister-in-law, Jae In?

We haven't paid back what we borrowed last time.

Why don't you ask Uncle instead?

Ask who for what?

I'm running late.

Goodbye.

Look at how she storms out without answering her elder's question.

Who cares if she's a doctor? Where are her manners?

She said she was running late.

You even made breakfast for her?

That's not the way you tame your wife.

That's why she thinks her mother-in-law's question is a joke.

I'll get mad at her when she comes home tonight.

I made some for you, too.

I'm broke.

Mom, just this once.

- Please help me this once. - This isn't your first time!

You never stop asking, do you?

Monetary transactions must be clear even between a mom and her son.

Give back what you owe me.

You'll get a return on your investment.

Who'll look after you later in life?

Gi Chan is practically living with his wife's family,

and Na Ra will marry into another family.

I'm your only hope as your eldest son.

Think of this as an investment for your retirement.

- Just this once... - Up your mouth!

That's not it. You say, "Shut your mouth."

Shut it.

Don't ever ask me for this again.

If you do, I'll zip up your mouth.

Also, don't even dream of getting my help.

You need to handle this yourself.

Mom, what do you think?

I'm dressed like a rich family's daughter-in-law.

Make sure you get on their good side today.

That way, they'll set you up with a good husband material.

Mom, if you can ask,

tell them to find the best-looking rich guy.

Okay?

Just take the lead.

Are they actually coming?

It's way past when we were supposed to meet.

Right. Let me call them.

Hello, Ms. Choi.

You're here, Mother.

Yes, I'm here, Jae In. Your mother-in-law.

It's been a while, Ms. Choi.

Is everything well?

Yes, we're at peace.

Hello.

You've become prettier since the last time we met.

Well, I got some surgery.

She's such a good-natured and naive girl,

so she can never lie whenever adults ask a question.

I see. Let's go for lunch.

One moment.

We're here anyway,

so we should enjoy the paintings.

Na Ra took after me,

so she became highly interested in art, especially paintings.

She has good taste, too.

This is...

Monet.

Monet.

It's by Monet.

The more I look at Monet's paintings,

the more I feel, you know...

Well...

My girl, can you tell us about it?

Monet was an impressionist painter...

nicknamed the painter of light.

- He was interested in the change... - Na Ra.

It's Rene.

It's not Monet. It's Rene Magritte.

What? It's Rene, not Monet?

Right.

Mom, it's by Rene.

Rene, Monet.

These painters have such similar names,

so Na Ra got them confused.

They're kissing each other with a cloth over them.

Do they not want to see each other because they're both ugly?

There are many different interpretations.

This is called "The Lovers."

The word means two people who are in love,

but it can also mean two people who only sleep together, like an affair.

Who's married? The man or the woman?

One of them has to be married.

No way. Oh, my gosh.

Are they both married?

It may not be an affair.

It may be two people who don't show how they truly feel on the inside.

There may be a secret,

or they may be in fake love.

It all depends on the interpretation.

Only those two will know what the truth is.

Good for you, Jae In.

You have a husband...

who only loves you and cares about you...

with his unshaken heart for all of his time.

He's the type who won't budge even if he had permission to cheat.

You must be a happy woman.

Isn't that so?

Yes, that's both my luck...

and Gi Chan's luck, Mother.

When it comes to luck, Ms. Choi, you're a lucky woman, too.

Isn't that so?

My son serves his in-laws so well...

as if he were your daughter-in-law,

and you always get to see them in love with each other.

It must be wonderful.

I also want to see them every day,

so I'm very jealous of you.

I always appreciate that, Ms. Noh.

Gosh, don't mention it.

You don't have to thank me.

But just know that I let you do that...

only because I'm a woman with a generous heart.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Yes, hello, Director.

Did Eun Ho pull a prank on...

What?

(Wife)

Hey, don't you have to go?

(Wife)

Have you not found Eun Ho yet?

No, I'm sorry.

Why wasn't there a supervisor here?

How did the child suddenly go missing?

They were playing out in the yard after lunch.

One of the children had to use the restroom,

so the teacher left for a second to help, then...

Do you call that an excuse?

You need to keep an eye on my precious grandson!

Why should you help anyone else?

Do you know who he is?

Did you search everywhere inside the kindergarten building?

Of course.

What about the CCTV footage?

He must've been caught there.

He was seen in passing while he played here,

but he was headed to a blind spot,

so there was nothing else.

Eun Ho...

I need to look for him.

You could've missed him.

The teachers and I all searched many times.

Classrooms, restrooms, kitchen,

nap room, teacher's office, and everything else.

Na Ra, what about Gi Chan?

He won't pick up.

I left him a text message so he'd reach out soon.

We shouldn't just stand around.

Shouldn't we call the police first?

Have you reported this?

Not yet. We weren't sure about it.

What do you mean?

He went missing a while ago. Why haven't you reported this?

You need to report this to the police right away. Now.

Okay. Yes.

What are you waiting for? Report it.

I can't remember the number.

I called your father. He probably called them already.

We must remain level-headed in times like these.

Trust me, and don't worry.

We will find him.

Okay.

Okay.

Honey...

(Restricted Number)

Hello?

Hello?

You must be Eun Ho's mother.

Yes, I'm Eun Ho's mother.

Who are you?

Don't you want to see him?

Do you know him?

Yes, I'm with him right now.

You'd better not call the police if you want to see him again.

Do you understand?

Eun Ho will lose his life.

No!

No, Eun Ho!

Goodness.

Jae In.

Hello?

Mr. Kang.

Take the bidding file for the factory in China...

and check for the files we need to attach.

Mr. Kang?

My gosh! You surprised me.

What are you doing?

Mr. Kang, where are we?

The office.

So, you knew that.

Then, you must know what to do during working hours.

Well, work, I guess.

And what are you doing?

Me?

You saw me already. Why do you ask?

I got sleepy, so I took a nap.

Look over the file and check for whatever we need to attach.

I have to do this?

I can't do it.

It looks like your job, so you do it.

Why don't you just quit?

I am the son of YL's chairman,

Kang Gyu Cheol.

Is that so?

And?

You're directly under me right now, so you'll either do as I say...

or resign right now.

Who's going to accept it once I write my resignation?

I'll report directly to the chairman,

so don't worry about that, Mr. Kang.

I was going to do it.

Hey, Mom.

I don't want to work.

Is Gi Chan in the office?

He went out to work.

He went out to work. Mom, you need to hear me out.

What did you say?

Where are you going, Mr. Kang?

I still can't believe it. It feels like a dream.

I'm in Korea, right? I'm not in the States.

Goodness.

My dream doesn't feel this real.

These touches and feelings...

all feel very weak there.

This is nice.

How did you suddenly come without calling me?

I missed you.

I missed you to death.

I was going to use work as an excuse to visit you there this weekend.

That's wonderful.

We can stay together all through the weekend.

I have to go back to work.

And?

I'll be back after work.

Let's eat dinner.

I wasn't going to let you leave the bed.

I'll cut you some slack.

Will you come back right away?

The hotel restaurant looked nice.

I'll meet you there at 6pm.

I hate it.

Do you not want to go to that restaurant?

I mean you.

You look way too wonderful, so I hate to share you.

I know.

I got into this knowing you were married,

so I'd never blame you.

But you're the only one for me,

and I'm crazily in love with you,

but that's not your case.

This isn't fair.

Do you know how much time we get to spend together in a year?

We don't even get 30 days out of 365 days.

Do you even love me?

Or our Ji Ho...

I love you.

Don't you believe me?

I didn't come here to whine,

but I couldn't help it.

This is enough for now. You should go.

- I'll see you tonight. - Okay.

(Messages, Missed Calls)

(Wife, Mother)

(Wife, Mother, Na Ra, Father)

(Wife)

(Mother)

Yes, Mother.

Goodness, Eun Ho.

My precious only grandson.

You're the son who would've carried on our family name.

Eun Ho, my eldest grandson.

My goodness.

You need to calm down.

Some may hear you and think the worst has happened.

This is the worst!

What else can be worse than this?

How can you be so nonchalant?

Your only grandson got kidnapped.

Aren't you worried about him?

We're all worried here.

We all feel the same, but we just don't show it.

So, why did a rich family like yours...

send him to a public kindergarten?

This wouldn't have happened if you sent him...

to an expensive private institution!

Are you treating him like this because he's your daughter's son?

Is that so?

Mom, you need to stop.

This is hard for Jae In.

It's hard for me, too.

Eun Ho, my grandson...

Don't worry, Jae In.

Eun Ho will return safely.

Darn it. That punk better not let me catch him.

I'll rip him into pieces and bury him alive.

Stop talking nonsense.

We'll handle it according to the law.

Why did you come back during your working hours?

Go back to work.

Work isn't important right now. Eun Ho is...

So what?

How are you going to help in any way?

Just do your job.

That's the only way you can help Eun Ho.

All right. I'm leaving.

I just reached out...

to the police commissioner.

The detective in charge will arrive shortly.

No, the kidnapper said we couldn't talk to the police.

From what I hear,

the first 48 hours are important when a child is kidnapped.

The more we delay this, the bigger danger he'll be in.

They said they'd move discreetly,

so we should give them our trust.

Ms. Noh, I know it's hard for you,

but please wait.

Honey!

Where's Eun Ho?

Gi Chan, what are we going to do?

Where have you been? We couldn't reach you.

I was in a meeting with a buyer, so I didn't know.

What about the call? Has the kidnapper called again?

He called once, then never again.

He told her to get two million dollars in cash.

Director Do will handle this.

What about the police? We should report this first.

I did.

Hello?

Why did you break your promise?

I have the money ready.

I'm getting it in cash right now.

Eun Ho is still okay, right?

Right?

Please let me hear just his voice.

Please.

Why did you report this if you wanted to see him again?

What?

No, I didn't. I mean it.

Who is that? Is that the kidnapper?

I already said he'd lose his life if you reported me.

Do you not want to see him again?

No! Let him live.

Please let him live.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'll do whatever you want, so just let him live. Please...

No, Eun Ho...

Please let Eun Ho live.

Please!

If you want to save his life, keep your promise.

Hello? Where is he right now?

Hello?

He hung up.

No...

Dad...

Dad, you can't call the police.

Eun Ho is going to die!

Dad, he knows everything.

I can't let anything bad happen...

to Eun Ho!

Oh, no.

Eun Ho must be scared...

and looking for his mommy and daddy. Will he be okay?

What if he gets beaten...

when he cries in fear?

No, Eun Ho...

Eun Ho...

No, Eun Ho...

Mommy's sorry.

Don't cry. Nothing will happen to him.

He said he'd let him go when he gets money, so we'll do that.

He'll call again,

so you must pull yourself together and take it.

You should wash your face.

We're meeting tonight, right?

Why won't you pick up your phone?

You're on your way, right?

Are you not coming?

(Catherine)

I'm on my way to your house right now.

It's me, baby.

No, you can't come.

Tomorrow, I'll...

Hello...

Where's the location tracker?

It's inside where no one can see it.

What about the CCTV footage we got near the kindergarten?

We haven't found anything yet,

but we're still looking, so please give it some time.

I postponed the police from getting involved.

Jae In was frightened that Eun Ho might get hurt.

I also told our security team about it.

They'll do a good job.

Bring him to me immediately once you get him.

Won't you hand him over to the police?

I need to see him first.

This is someone...

who blackmailed us with a helpless child.

This must be a beastly thing disguised as a human.

I can't forgive him.

I heard someone was here. Who is it?

Give it a moment.

It's for Eun Ho's mother,

but we don't know who it's from.

Things were hectic, so I couldn't reach out.

I'm sorry.

It must be hard on you.

It's only been a few hours, but you already look awful.

Gi Chan.

I don't deserve to be a dad.

I had no idea my son went missing,

completely mesmerized by you.

I was in such a thrill that I couldn't hear anything.

How can I call myself a dad?

No, I can't do that.

- I don't deserve to say that. - No.

You have all the right to be a dad.

You love and adore Eun Ho so much.

Nothing will happen.

Don't blame yourself.

- Jae In. - Jae In.

(Queen's House)

- Jae In. - Jae In.

Isn't this his?

Goodness, Eun Ho. My grandson.

How can I call myself a dad?

Find him.

You're his dad.

Bring him back.

I found it.

Life depends on the tip of my fingers,

so I won't let any patient who gets on my table die.

No! Eun Ho. No.

What are you doing?
