Let's give a big hand to our queen!

[Episode 45]

This is your day.

You've gone through a lot.

Enjoy yourself to the full at the ceremony.

I will.

I'm so proud of myself today.

May I, Father?

Sure. You're the best emcee in Korea.

Enjoy yourself to the full.

Congrats, sweetie.

You've risen to the top of the world as you wished.

Did you prepare an acceptance speech?

Of course.

How I've looked forward to this day.

Please come and congratulate me.

Without your help, I wouldn't have been here today.

Sure. I'll watch you standing atop.

Mangdong, Eumseong...

Bingo. I've got the right place.

Did you come to see me?

Are you the head of this village?

Yes. What did you come here for?

I came to look into a person...

...who lived here about 35 years ago.

Do you know Oklae Kim?

Oklae...Kim?

Who did you just say?

Oklae Kim.

You know her, right? You do.

Bingo.

I don't know who she is.

Sir. Come on.

Does she have a skeleton in the closet?

Why are you feigning ignorance?

I really don't know her.

Sir!

I know everything.

You better tell me the truth.

You know Oklae Kim, don't you?

I warn you, don't even bring up her name here.

This is the village of the Yi clan.

Everybody foams at the mouth when it comes to her.

I heard she'll come back to this village.

What? Then is she out of jail?

Jail?

Oh, really?

Thank you.

I'm so surprised to receive such a great award.

What do you think? Do I look unnatural?

No. You're good.

I'm so nervous.

Is my dress ready?

Julian went to the airport to pick it up bright and early.

Really? Hope it'll arrive in time.

I must stand out today.

This is the best day of my life.

Arson?

The half of it.

She was such a wicked wife.

She set the house on fire and killed not only her husband,

...but her in-laws as well.

So she committed such a crime and ran away with a daughter?

I told you she's wicked.

She managed to evade the police for a few months...

...but was caught at a temple...

...and was sentenced to life.

How scary. She's a murderer.

By the way, why did she kill off her family?

I don't know in detail.

Maybe she had a rift with her husband.

Anyways, it crowded the columns of newspapers.

[A family killed in fire in Eumseong, Choongbook]

Aren't you yet ready?

Hurry. Don't make your mom angry on a day like this.

I told you I don't want to go.

If I see Jaejoon's family there, I'll feel uneasy.

Get over it. You'll be his family.

You should see them often and recover relationship.

You really make me sick.

Are you just cool or are you simply spiteful?

Do you want to go and see Lena win the prize with Dad?

Do you really want to congratulate his ex?

Why does it matter?

I am a victim.

Shut up. You dug a pit and fell into it.

I'm going there not for her but for my business.

You think I've pushed forward the Qingdao thing mindlessly?

Your marriage is part of it. Get ready before I get nasty.

Yes. How did it go?

Make a guess?

This is no time to joke!

How did it go? Did you find something?

Bingo. Something super shocking.

Super shocking? What do you mean?

My guess was right.

I told you she might've committed a felony.

Lena's mother was such a sensational, notorious femme fatale.

What felony was it?

Well, it's beyond our imagination.

If this is known to public,

...not only at TNC...

...I mean, Lena won't be able to live on earth.

I see.

Send what you found to my cell phone.

There's your quick temper.

I can't hand over such high quality info for nothing.

What?

So what do you want?

Yes, Hyejin. What is it?

Where are you?

At a beauty shop. Why?

Are you with Lena?

She's acting pompous as if she owns the world.

Such an eyesore.

Don't worry. That'll end soon.

Doshin Kim found something? What is it?

But there's a problem.

Seems he got a big scoop and he wants a deal.

Deal? What deal?

He wants more money.

How much?

One million bucks.

Does he think it's small money?

How dare he demand such big money?

Do you think he has hard information?

I think so. He's so confident.

He said Lena can't even live in Korea if it's known.

What do I do?

What's there to think about?

We are the only people to buy that info.

No. He can release it to the media.

That's for the better. We don't have to take trouble then.

Don't give him money.

Just wait, and he'll come to you.

Okay. See you at the awards ceremony.

He wouldn't give it to Lena, would he?

Did you come to see your mom?

I need to give her a cue sheet.

I'll come later if you're uncomfortable.

Why would I feel uncomfortable?

Why do you mind me...

...when you can pretend not to know your own mother?

Bingo.

No deal.

Hand over the info at the promised amount.

You think you're the only one to pay for it?

Whom should I sell it to?

Newspaper companies? Broadcasting companies?

No.

This is nuts!

Whom should I sell it to?

Bingo.

I know who'll need it the most.

Julian! Julian!

Did you get my dress?

Can't you do it right?

I can't attend the Awards in my bare skin!

You still didn't...

Just arrived from Paris.

You know Nicolas Guesky, the hotsy designer. It's his work.

Look at the lines and fine details.

Okay. How much is it?

One.

Hundred thousand?

Alright. I am Lena Jeong,

...the best emcee in Korea. I deserve at least this.

Watch me.

Today is going to be the best day of my life.

Oh my! It scared me.

Get the phone.

Guess it's a reporter asking for an interview.

Oh. Blame the popularity.

Why?

What it is, Lena?

Leave me alone.

-Lena? -Beat it!

Okay. I'm going out.

Yes?

Where are you? Where the heck are you?

Relax.

Would you come here in person?

Answer. How did you find this out? How?

I'll tell you in private.

What if someone hears us?

I'll give you one hour.

I'll tell you if you come in time,

...or I'll release it to the media...

How about your mother-in-law?

Alright. I'm leaving now.

Don't tell anybody.

I'll be there soon. Just keep mum.

Come quickly. I miss you, friend.

I'm blessed with a friend in my latter years.

Right, Eunhye? I mean, Lena.

I mean, Soojeong. She has too many names!

No. How I have come this far.

I can't back off at this point.

I won't!

It's me.

Something urgent came up. Don't wait for me.

See you at the ceremony.

At last, I can catch up with the fox.

Samshik, aren't you ready? Hurry!

We're busy on Fridays.

Let's go relieve a shift.

I feel skeptical.

Is Lena Jeong right to put aside her kid for her success?

Or are we right to work our guts out for our kids?

What are you talking about?

Children are mirrors of their parents.

We should live straight for our kids.

Dad, can you lend me your tie?

What for?

I need to go to the award ceremony.

What? What is he saying?

Why do you need to go there?

Esol's mom is like my mom.

I'm going to put this on her.

Lend me a tie.

Youngu, don't you have a math lesson today?

You knew it?

See? He's a mirror of you.

He learned to play hooky from you.

Margherita topped with edible flowers. It's the Queen's Pizza.

Queen's Pizza?

Sounds good.

I think it'll receive a good response.

Are you ready?

Hi, Father.

I've prepared an event for Lena.

For all customers tomorrow, 50% discount off the price.

What do you think?

Don't you think it's too much?

She pleases me.

During the past year,

...she's been a good wife and is great at her job too.

Besides, she has my grandchild. What would I spare from her?

She's the best daughter-in-law.

Lena will be glad to hear it.

Let's go to congratulate her.

Thanks to her, our family lives in harmony again.

I'll treat you big after the ceremony.

Thank you, Father,

...for caring about her so much to have come this far.

Sure. No cross, no crown.

We just need to live in laughter.

Where are you?

Doshin, where are you?

Doshin! Where are you?

Come out!

Doshin! Just come out!

Doshin! Come out!

Soojeong Yi!

Soojeong.

What did you just say?

Why, did you forget your name since it's been so long?

Indeed, it's been so long.

It was your name 35 years ago.

Why, you still can't remember?

I thought as much, so I prepared this.

Real name: Soojeong Yi.

Domicile of origin: Mangdong 24, Eumseong, Choongbook.

Father: Namchol Yi. Mother: Oklae Kim.

On the night of Dec. 8, 1980, your mother...

Stop!

Why are you doing this to me?

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong to you that you're doing this to me?

You're a celebrity. Walls have ears.

Tell me. What do you want?

Girl. You're smart now as in the past.

Everything about Soojeong Yi is stored here.

I can either release it to the media or give it to you.

Nothing comes free in life.

I went to a lot of trouble to find it.

Well, Soojeong...

Now I'm old and I don't want to suffer.

Let me benefit from you.

How much do you want?

$100k?

Come on, you're not that cheap.

For old times' sake, let me live off the fat of the land.

We were childhood friends.

Trash. I know the like of you.

You were of no help to me.

How I've come this far!

But you, viper, are now trying to bleed me dry?

Bastard. Go to hell, you bastard!

Get a grip.

Can't you see what's going on?

Right, you've come this far with a lot of effort.

Well, forget it if you don't want a deal.

There are plenty of people who'd pay for this.

No. No, please don't.

Give it to me. I beg you.

Doshin, I'm sorry.

Please don't.

Please. I'm begging you. Please.

By looking down on me, you lost your last chance.

Damn!

Hey! Stop there!

Come here!

Doshin!

You have a death wish?

Let me go!

You've become really bold?

-Please! -You want to die?

Yeah?

Do you?

Soojeong...Soojeong, help me! Please!

Soojeong! I won't leave you alone!

Doshin...Doshin!

Look here.

Look here? Please wake up.

Look here.

Help...

Please...call...119...

119...

This is 119, what's your emergency?

Well...

-Please... -Hello?

-Help... -Hello?

Please state your emergency. Hello?

Dad...

Mom...

Please let me go.

It's time to receive customers for dinner.

And Friday night is the busiest. Please?

Honey.

Please, listen to us.

We need to win Mr. Park's favor for the Qingdao hospital.

Then I'll say hi to him and leave.

You're so.

Can't believe she is my daughter.

Yes, Heera.

I got a big problem. I think Doshin Kim died.

What?

What are you talking about?

How come?

He fell from a building while tussling with Lena.

Then...what about her?

She's fled.

I called 911 but hung up lest I should get involved.

It seems he's not breathing.

No one's seen you there, right?

I don't think so.

Then don't touch anything. Just come over here quickly.

But what about him?

The police will find his body and catch Lena.

Will she own up when there's no witness?

She's cunning enough to play innocent...

...and I can't come forward.

Then make her fess up.

How?

Let her know there's a witness.

I see what you mean.

Next time, try thick and thin skirt of our beef.

We have all parts of beef for you to choose from.

Okay. Can we have more vegetables?

Sure. Eunsol, bring veggies.

Here you are. Enjoy it.

Yangsoon, Yangsoon! It's starting now.

Is it that time already?

Will Esol be on TV today?

Of course, since she's going to give flowers to Ms. Jeong.

I'll call her Kang Gildong from now on.

What do you mean?

She can't call her own mom Mom.

Like a latter-day Hong Gildong. What a strange fate.

Please watch your mouth.

I am the only mom to Esol. So forget about Ms. Jeong...

...when she leads a happy marriage.

Okay.

But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Take a look.

Geez, still harping on about their picture.

Please stop.

It's starting now.

Welcome to the 21st Korean Broadcast Culture Awards!

We're opening the ceremony!

I already feel the heat in this place.

Let's enjoy the opening performance first.

Please welcome Rainbow!

Why isn't your mom coming?

She'll come. Call her.

She's not answering the phone.

Don't worry.

She's thorough so she'll come.

Where on earth is she?

What should we do?

Why isn't she answering the phone?

Oh, my fate.

She can't be in trouble, right?

What trouble?

Oh, right!

Have you any idea?

Her dress was a bit too tight when I did a fitting job.

Perhaps she took a laxative and fainted somewhere.

Julian.

No, I'm sure.

She can't receive the award then.

Someone must accept it on her behalf.

What if it's me? Oh no, I'm not prepared to do that.

There's no time to waste.

Coordinator!

What if she's in trouble?

Excuse me.

Is there anywhere I can use a computer?

Use the cafe on the ground floor.

Thank you.

Everything about Soojeong Yi is stored here.

I can either release it to the media or give it to you.

You've lost your mind, damned wench!

Dad, stop! You're going to kill her.

Please stop!

Stay back!

I'm going to teach your mother some manners. synced by riri13

Get up! Get up!

How dare you bite me!

Son! What are you doing?

Brother!

Namchol! What happened?

Oh no. Namchol, wake up. Are you okay?

Let's go. Come on, Soojeong.

You can't go anywhere!

Let's go.

Dad!

Don't go there.

Mom.

We're through with them.

Let's go.

Yes.

Where are you? The Awards is about to start.

The Awards?

Okay.

Yes. It's destroyed now.

There's no witness or evidence.

I must collect myself.

Nothing happened.

[Murderer]

Who sent this? Who on earth...

Where the heck... have you been?

Sorry. I'll tell you later.

What did you mean by saying you caught up with a fox?

You'll see. A funny thing will happen soon.

That's a Victoria water lily.

It comes into bloom and glows in thorns.

Can I burst into bloom like that flower someday?

Of course.

No matter how hard it is now,

...if you endure and try hard,

...you'll become like the Queen's Flower.

You're wrong.

This is it.

I think this is the end.

No matter how hard I try,

...it seems I can't become like this flower.

Where on earth have you been? I was worried sick about you.

Are you okay?

I'm relieved to see you safe.

Hold on. I'll call in your stylist.

Esol.

Don't you hate me?

I turned away from you for my success.

Aren't I disgusting?

Tell me outright. You hate me, don't you?

No. I understand you.

Even if all the people point a finger at you,

...I don't hate you.

Why?

Although you rejected me, you gave birth to me.

I see. You may leave.

To wear the dress...

I'll take care of it myself.

Next is the award for the Best Emcee.

The presenter is the winner from last year, Ms. Kyungshil Lee.

Please welcome her with a round of applause.

Good evening, I'm Kyungshil Lee.

I'm honored to be a part of such a great ceremony...

I got hold of her. She'll be here soon.

I'll announce the 21st Korean Broadcast Culture Awards,

...Best Emcee Award.

Oh, I'm her fan.

The award goes to...

...Lena Jeong of Healing Recipe! Congratulations!

She gave comfort to many heartbroken people this past year.

She's the best emcee, both in name and reality.

Let's welcome Ms. Lena Jeong.

Ms. Lena Jeong?

It seems she is not present.

We'll award the prize to her deputy.

Oh, she's coming out.

What a dramatic appearance. Congratulations.

Ms. Lena Jeong, please say a few words.

Thank you.

For the past year, I was loved...

...more than I've ever been loved all my life.

I'd like to thank each and every one of you.

In addition, if I have done any wrong,

...I'd like to ask for your forgiveness.

She's a woman of humility.

Who could hate Lena Jeong?

No one. Let's give her a warm round of applause.

My favorite flower is Victoria water lily.

It's giant and gorgeous, known as the Queen's Flower.

It comes into bloom in thorns...

...and bears the most beautiful flower.

The flower blooms by itself...

...and sinks back into water in its full bloom.

Just like that flower, today...

...at this happiest moment of my life,

...I'd like to resign my post as an emcee.

And I hope that my assistant and co-host,

...Ms. Esol Kang, will take over the position.

Esol, please come up to the stage.

That was an unexpected award speech.

Ms. Esol Kang, please?

Let's welcome her with a round of applause.

Hang it. Is this what you meant by a funny thing?

Is Lena crazy or what?

Flowers never fall off without reasons.

There must be a reason.

She has great potential.

I hope you'll give a lot of love to her in my place.

How odd.

Mom, I think I'm blown out.

Why yes, you sure are.

Her dress is so gorgeous!

Since Lena is clean-limbed, her curvy lines stand out...

...and she does look pregnant.

That's not what I mean.

Why does she retire out of the blue?

She showed no signs of it even this morning.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I didn't pay attention to anything other than her dress.

And why Esol Kang as her successor of all people?

She's the enemy of our family.

She dumped Jaejoon and upset all of us.

Exactly.

Why is Lena acting like a traitor?

I know. I wonder why.

Honey.

Where is she? I can't get hold of her.

I have no idea.

I came out of concern for her, but she's gone already.

Did she hide herself to avoid the reporters?

Where on earth is she?

Why isn't she answering the phone?

Didn't she say anything particular?

She didn't tell me she's going to announce her retirement.

That was news to me, too.

She was out for a good while before the ceremony.

That's why she was late for it.

Do you know where she was?

No. She was out of contact for 2 hours...

...and came back looking pale.

Jaejoon, call Father and tell him to go home first.

Don't say anything to worry him.

Okay.

I'll check if she's in her car.

Father, this is Jaejoon.

Seems Lena has a wrap-up party.

Yes.

See you at home. Bye.

She said something strange.

Like if I'm not disgusted by her for rejecting me for her success,

...and if I don't hate her.

She asked me that.

Perhaps because of that...

Let's go and comb through the building.

The person you have dialed is not available.

Lena!

Let's search over there.

Lena hasn't called yet?

She must be agonizing somewhere...

...on the pretext of having a party.

My heart almost stopped when she announced her retirement.

The skin is nearer than the shirt.

She made place for Esol.

I know.

What move will she make now?

Perhaps, she's given up everything to have retired?

She killed a man.

There's no way out.

Did Doshin Kim die for sure?

I think so.

He didn't breathe and bled a lot.

Did you let her know there's a witness?

Yes.

I sent her his picture.

You didn't send it from your phone, did you?

I'm not that dumb.

I sent it from a computer to cover my number.

Then all we have to do now is to wait...

...until she turns herself in and goes down.

No news about it yet?

I checked my phone. Not yet.

Well, it may take some time since the place is remote.

Can't believe I got involved in such a terrible accident.

I'm trying to put a bold face, but I'm so scared.

Heera, the darkest hour is before the dawn.

You've gone through so much heartache because of Lena.

We are almost there.

We can have all we want once we turn the corner.

And Lena will sink without a trace.

Braec yourself and hang in there a little more. Okay?

I feel relieved to have you by my side.

Same here.

I think Hope is indeed a blessing to me.

Whenever I face difficulties and feel hopeless,

...Hope helps me get over it.

[Honey, where are you?...]

[Gangseo Police Department]

I will work hard...

...and put you through middle school and college...

...to get a doctorate and make you a great woman.

So just study hard.

Don't live a life like me, okay?

[Wanted]

Mom, you told me not to live like you...

...but like mother like daughter,

...I'm treading in your step.

I abandoned my child and even killed a man.

Honey, where are you?

I'm dying worried about you. Please call me.

Whatever the problem is, we can solve it together.

Please call me. Please.

No. If I go back, everybody will be hurt.

How did it go?

Seems she took her car.

She's not answering the phone.

She'll be alright.

Let's just go home and wait.

She'll come back.

Old sayings are true.

Blood is thicker than water.

The owl thinks her own young fairest.

Ms. Lena Jeong is a mother after all.

I know.

I thought she'd turn away from Esol to the end.

I didn't expect such a reversal. She's cool.

I'll brag to my friends about Esol, a rising star.

I got goose bumps on the spot.

When she hugged Esol,

...I was moved to tears.

I think Ms. Lena Jeong is much better than my dad.

By the way, is it okay you don't go home?

What's wrong with you?

If she's dragged back home, we'll lose our jobs.

Then will you provide for us?

But we don't have any extra room for her,

...and she might feel uncomfortable to sleep here.

Don't worry. She can sleep with me.

Boss, let's sleep with me tonight.

Okay. Classy Charles is the best.

Let's make a toast.

To Yura, a new member of the family of Esol, the emcee!

Wait, wait.

Why?

There's a slogan for this case.

Ful! Ful! Ful!

Men, be powerful!

Women, be beautiful.

Everybody, be wonderful!

Wonderful!

You're back early.

I thought you'd be late having a party.

Congrats, Esol.

So are you the main host from next week?

I joined the celebration party.

Celebration party?

Ms. Lena Jeong handed over her position to you.

We're celebrating it.

This isn't the time for that.

She's disappeared and I've looked for her till now.

What is she talking about?

My. Where has she gone at this hour?

She's a pregnant woman.

Mom!

Mom, look at these.

Soojeong, shall we go far away?

Where? Seoul?

Farther than Seoul.

There, our legs won't hurt, we won't be hungry...

...or on the run.

And we can be together forever.

Let's go there.

-Let's go. -Mom!

Mom, Mom!

Mom, I'm scared!

Squeeze your eyes shut!

Come with me! Let's go!

Let's die together!

No! I don't want to die!

I want to live, I want to live well!

I don't want to die!

I will live well! I will live well!

I will!

I want to go to college, get a doctorate, and become a great woman!

Mom...

Where did my life start to go wrong?

If you hadn't killed Dad,

...if our house hadn't been on fire,

...or, if I had died with you at that time,

...my life wouldn't have become like this.

You told me not to live like you.

...but after all, I'm walking your path.

I have no other choice.

To put an end, I should carry the weight...

...of my past and present.

It's moving.

My baby's moving.

Hope, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's Mommy.

Mommy is here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

What the dickens? Isn't his body found yet?

How strange. No news about it.

How come it hasn't been found yet?

What a dream of a bad omen.

Why, did you have a nightmare?

A strange dream. I've never had such a dream.

In my dream, Lena died.

What?

I was walking down a road and saw a pair of shoes by a well.

Feeling strange, I looked into it and there was Lena inside!

That's horrible! And?

And I yelled her to come out,

...but she ignored me and covered the well.

I'm sure something happened to her.

So are you worried about her?

No, but it's just so strange.

Cut it out. Take a shower and get ready.

You have a surgery at 9 a.m.

Okay. I'm your faithful dog.

She has never killed herself on impulse.

This is Hyejin.

Are you calling about Lena?

Did she come home?

No. We've heard nothing from her.

By the way, no news about Doshin yet?

I just searched news but not yet.

It's strange. What happened?

Heera, Heera. She's back.

Lena is back. Come out.

Seems Lena's back. Let's talk later.

Honey, what happened?

Where were you last night?

Aren't you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?

What manners you have!

You're a pregnant woman. How could you stay out overnight?

Where on earth have you been?

Honey, you're scaring her.

Sweetie, what happened?

Do you know how worried we were about you?

What happened?

Hang it.

Stop putting me in a wax. Say something.

What the heck happened?

Father...

and Minjoon...

I'm sorry.

I was going to die...

...but because of Hope...

Honey.

I should've died...

...and ended everything.

I'm really sorry.

What are you talking about?

Why should you die?

What the heck are you talking about?

I...

I...

I...

...killed a man.

[Subtitles Provided by MBC]

[Preview]

I've forgotten there was a witness.

Attorney Kim and Minjoon delve into it with suspicion.

Are you sure he died?

You didn't make sure for yourself, did you?

I don't expect you to be respectable.

Just don't let me hate and feel ashamed of you.

We should make a decision to minimize the damage.

Are you saying we should divorce them?

Weren't you going to kill yourself?

Wasn't it a resolution to take the spear?

The only thing you can do is to divorce him.
