Heo Joon-jae, the legend of the lighthouse was true.

Those who get separated there will surely meet again.

They meet and love each other again.

Congratulations.

You get to see your mom again.

Mom.

Joon-jae...

Joon-jae...

Joon-jae...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Joon-jae.

Joon-jae.

I'm sorry, Joon-jae.

I'm sorry.

Sorry...

Sorry...

I'm so sorry.

Sorry...

Among the many words I've learned since coming here,

the best words are "happy ending"

This very moment is a happy ending.

But brings you hope and depair

with the ever-fleeting time.

Nothing lasts

and the moment of happiness will pass.

How is... your health?

No pain anywhere?

How about you?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Stop saying... that you're sorry.

I shouldn't have left you behind like that.

I thought your wealthy father would raise you well.

I thought you were living well and studying abroad.

I didn't go to study abroad,

but I did live well enough.

I met nice people, too.

I heard you ran away from home in high school.

Why did you do that? Why didn't you just hang in there?

Because I missed you.

I missed you so much.

I thought I could find you right away.

But...

you were nowhere to be found.

I've thought of all kinds of things.

Could she...

have passed away?

So, please stop saying...

you are sorry.

I am thankful

that you're healthy like this.

But my mom has become so small.

When I was little, you always embraced me.

I should embrace you every day.

How difficult it must have been for you.

For a ten-year-old cry-baby to grow this much.

For such a long time,

you were alone without me.

My son, how difficult it must have been for you.

How lonely you must have been.

Mommy had no idea...

So...

you can't go anywhere anymore.

When we are apart, you don't know anything.

So, don't go anywhere.

Really?

-The maid at Si-ah's is Joon-jae's mom?

Yes? So the two of them are talking right now.

It's not just Joon-jae. I've also searched for her everywhere.

I can't believe she was so near all along!

It's something to congratulate them for,

but what about your birthday party? It's become ambiguous.

Why did you make it today of all days?

I picked the right date because Heo Joon-jae met his mom.

That's true, too.

Not only are you better at speaking, you've become perfectly logical, too.

The plate's empty.

-What is it? -Huh?

Nothing.

This place doesn't refill very quickly.

Other parties never let the dishes go empty.

This is driving me crazy. What is this?

I'm sure there's something. Something huge.

I couldn't have dreamed that this was the house you're living in.

I didn't know either.

All this time, I've been eating the food you've made,

thinking it tasted similar. Who would've thought you really have.

Whose house is this?

It belongs to my boyfriend... to-be.

By chance, is Cha Si-ah your girlfriend?

What?

No, She's just my college classmate.

Right? It's Cheong, right?

Look how you smile. You like her that much?

You're already living together?

She doesn't have a suitable place to go.

Fate is such a strange thing.

I've received help from Cheong many times.

She helped me when I got pick-pocketed,

She saved me when I almost got hit by a car.

How did you almost get hit by a car? You and Cheong both.

Don't you think about getting out of the way of a car? Be careful.

Please.

Okay, I got it.

How can you afford to live in such a nice house?

I've made a lot of money,

but this is a rental.

I can at least get a place for us to live in together.

So, stop working so hard

and live with me.

What kind of work do you do, Joon-jae?

Oh... just...

this and that.

Let's go in.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

To our beloved Shim Cheong,

Happy Birthday to you.

-Did you make a wish? -Oh, a wish.

I want to live here happily for a long time with Heo Joon-jae.

A wish should be made in your heart.

If you say it aloud, it won't come true.

Really? Oh, what do I do?

It's OK. It'll come true even if you say it aloud. Blow the candles out.

Wait.

Let's blow out the candles once more.

Why?

There's something else to celebrate. You and your mom reuniting.

Wait... Is there anyone else who needs to be congratulated?

Me. I got 100% on my English vocabulary test.

We should congratulate her.

-Let's blow it out one more time. -You're doing this for fun, right?

Yeah.

Let's do it. It's not hard to do.

Okay, let's blow it. Where is it?

-Wait. -Again?

Stop!

-What? -You come over, too.

No, right before that.

Didn't you hear me?

I said Joon-jae found his mom.

Not only that, she was the maid who worked in your house.

Things like this really do happen!

Aren't you happy to hear this?

You must be really close as you lived in the same house.

Just come over.

There's a big party going on.

We even have a grade schooler and a bum here.

Anyway, just come.

What do I do?

Let's go. I'll take you home. Hand!

Get home safely.

Thank you for coming to my birthday party.

Happy birthday.

You too. Congratulations on finding your mom.

Thanks, kiddo.

Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

By the way,

-aren't you giving me a goodie bag? -A what bag?

A goodie bag. Party favors.

-They always give those out at parties. -Do you want me to pack you up some food?

I don't eat food that's more than two hours old.

I see. Go back safely.

What's wrong with all your friends?

Aren't there any normal ones?

Why? I like them.

I like all the friends I made here. Heo Joon-jae's mom is my friend, too.

Hey, how is my mom your friend?

We are friends.

See that? We're friends.

if you're friends with my mom, where does that leave me?

This house is becoming more and more strange.

You don't know how hard I searched for you.

I have all your old addresses memorized,

I know all of your friends and relatives, too.

I see.

I was overseas for several years after the divorce.

After going through all my savings and coming back,

I've been caring for other people's homes. So it would've been hard to find me.

You must have been through a lot.

Shall we drink to that?

Cheers.

But Auntie,

Now that the emotions from the reunion have calmed down a bit.

could I ask you something?

Yes. What is it?

Do you by any chance know someone named Kang Ji-hyeon?

You went to the same high school.

-Kang Ji-hyeon? -Yes.

Is she someone you know?

Why are you asking about her?

Well, there was an issue,

so we've been looking into her.

Her resident ID has been canceled and there's no record of her at all.

She is someone I know.

Someone I know all too well.

-Really? -Yes.

Someone you know too.

I... know her?

Joon-jae, she's your stepmother.

What?

But... that's not her name.

She told me she changed her name to Kang Seo-hee.

She changed her name?

Then there would have been a record, but there wasn't anything.

I don't know about that,

but her name in school was Kang Ji-hyeon.

That's for sure.

Kang Ji-hyeon was that woman?

What is it?

What's wrong?

The thing is--

No, it's nothing.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Do you know an escaped prisoner named Ma Dae-young?

I think I've heard the name.

We've been trying to track down Ma Dae-young.

Kang Ji-hyeon seems to be involved with Ma Dae-young.

Involved how?

-That is... -That's enough.

It's nothing.

The detective we know was asking about it.

-What are you doing? -Goodness... Joon-jae's mother is inside,

-right? -Probably.

By any chance,

-did she say anything about... me? -Like what?

Never mind.

- Aren't you going in? -Tae-oh,

do you want to have a drink with me?

I... don't want to drink with you.

Come on, let's have a drink.

I don't know how much you like me,

but do you want me to make you dislike me?

I...

knew that the maid was Joon-jae's mother.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I...

have been really awful to her.

We didn't get along at all.

But then I found out...

that she's his mother.

So I tried to restore my relationship and tell the truth.

But it is all over now.

Once he finds out,

he won't even want to be friends with me.

He'll tell me to get lost.

I know that I'm a horrible bitch.

How do you feel?

Now, any feelings you had for me have disappeared completely, right?

Be thankful.

My wish is for my feelings for Joon-jae to disappear completely.

But I can't help it. It's so difficult for me.

I'm telling you so that you won't suffer like me.

Your ardent feelings for me,

that love, I'm telling you to throw it away.

Yes. Kang Ji-hyeon, whom my mother knows, is my stepmother.

If she is still involved with Ma Dae-young...

So the reason Ma Dae-young has been after you

could be that your stepmother instigated it?

But why? Why would she try to kill you?

I'm sure that Heo Joon-jae bastard did something bad to annoy her.

Father's will was notarized,

He left almost all of his assets to me and Mother.

The first thing I can think of is inheritance.

Inheritance?

How much wealth could there be that she'd go that far to harm you?

What?

Rascal.

You're pulling me leg again! Stop!

I'm going to get you. Is your dad a chaebol?

What?

-Really? -Is that important right now?

Can't you subpoena her at once?

We can't without any crucial proof.

And that could alert her that we suspect her,

so we have to careful until we find some proof.

I have a feeling about this. The puzzle is coming together.

-And we have to time to waste. -What are you going to do now?

I'm going to do it my way.

I'm going to find proof and reveal everything as soon as I can.

Fortunately, he was in a state where he could breath on his own a little

and was only relying on the breathing machine for support.

No fatal cardiac arrest.

He nearly died once.

How could this happen again?

I don't know if he'll be able to live a normal life...

The patient suffers from a diffuse axonal injury.

In cases like his, sometimes,

the patient can suddenly wake up from a coma.

We don't know the exact process by which an injured brain recovers,

so we just call it a miracle.

I hope for a miracle, Doctor.

What's the matter?

Is he my father?

Ma Dae-young?

Is he?

Must I confirm it for you?

Yes.

I don't understand you.

Without knowing anything, without doing anything,

if you just sit and wait, I'll do everything for you.

Why are you curious?

I'm the son of someone like him!

I hate it so much.

It makes me feel like a clump of dirty moss

that can never go out into the sunlight.

Chi-hyeon.

I used to have...

a twin sister.

We were born in the same hour, same day.

We were placed in the same basket and discarded at an orphanage.

My sister was adopted into a really nice home,

but not me.

A father who got violent whenever he drank

and a pathetic mother...

Being dirt poor with no future in sight.

Even in those circumstances,

there was still one thing that worked for me.

I don't know.

I thought my father passed out after drinking,

but when I woke up in the morning...

Don't cry.

Honey.

if you go like this, how am I supposed to live on my own?

Take me with you!

People trust...

whatever a powerless person says.

I've come this far with that as my only weapon.

It's been a long and difficult road.

Chi-hyeon...

I didn't want you to take the long way.

Whether it's Ma Dae-young or Heo Il-joong,

they're only shortcuts.

Just take that shortcut

and go out into that sunlight.

Go out

and live not as a clump of moss, but as a flower.

That's all you have to do.

Thanks for walking me home.

-Si-ah. -Yeah.

I thought about it,

I will stop liking you now.

What? Oh, will you be able to sort things out?

I have.

Already?

Really? That's good. I'm glad.

You should confess to Joon-jae properly, too.

Now?

I can't.

What if I can never see him again?

Is there any meaning in continuing to see him like this?

I'll be going.

What was that? How can he sort out his feelings so fast?

Well... That's good then.

Yes, that's what happened. I'll come home after sleeping here overnight.

Oh my! So you met your son?

What a dramatic reunion!

How did you meet him?

Tell me about that thing earlier.

What?

The relationship Heo Joon-jae's stepmother has with Ma Dae-young.

Why are you curious about it?

Ma Dae-young tried to hurt me and Heo Joon-jae.

Ma Dae-young has had one woman in his life, and that's Kang Ji-hyeon.

And she's surrounded with mysterious deaths.

Her adoptive family members all had

suspicious myocardial infarctions, suicides, accidents...

After losing their vision, both husbands died.

One by illness, one by accident.

You don't understand what I'm saying, right?

I understand everything. I watch the news diligently these days.

Anyway,

Kang Ji-hyeon could have had a child,

but we couldn't find anyone since there was no record.

But if she is Joon-jae's stepmother,

then, what's his name, Heo Chi-hyeon,

Joon-jae's step-brother, could be the child.

-What's with your expression? -Just that...

I feel that Heo Joon-jae was very lonely.

Well, he could have been.

But it could have been a blessing meeting me after running away from home.

That household gives me the chill somehow...

If you find out anything else, tell me.

What could she possibly do if she knew?

That day at this pool,

I'm sure there was something.

Cry.

Cry?

Why did I ask her to cry?

Tears...

Tears...

This is my room.

Wow, it's cozy and pretty.

Can I sleep here with you tonight?

Of course.

To My Beloved Fool,

you went through so much.

Thank you for coming to me.

Now, I will only have you wear pretty shoes

and walk on nice paths.

Oh my!

Wow! Wow!

You finally came to our house!

Joon-jae gave them to you?

Because you're here like this next to Joon-jae,

I'm thankful and relieved.

Me, too.

I'm so thankful and relieved that you came to be with Heo Joon-jae.

But...

If something happens and I'm not with Heo Joon-jae anymore,

please stay with him and don't go anywhere, okay?

Huh? Something like what?

I'm just saying in case...

Heo Joon-jae,

thank you for the presents.

Why are you still up?

It's my birthday today,

but I didn't really get to see your face.

Open the door.

You saw my face now. Go to sleep.

Stop making noise.

I see on TV that a kiss is a must on a birthday.

-Hey! -Why?

Come here.

-Are you going to give me a birthday kiss? -What?

I'm ready.

Oh my!

What is this?

Hey you player-mermaid.

I remember you going on about romantic love,

but I think you like it dirty.

You consider a kiss dirty? Are you kidding?

I've reminded you before.

Don't think so much before falling asleep.

It's too noisy for me.

Shame on you. Eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Eavesdropping? I don't want to hear them either.

You keep blabbering on, and that's why I can hear you.

I've told you many times.

I live in a house to avoid noise between floors.

Your blabbering upstairs is giving me insomnia!

Got it, Mister Downstairs.

So you wanted to see me just to make a noise complaint?

No.

Then?

To do this.

I have to check if your heart's beating well today.

But... it doesn't seem to be beating that great.

Really? I think it's beating just fine.

Now it is.

Oh, it astounded me so much that I couldn't even sleep.

So did your son grow up well?

Yes. I think so.

That's a relief.

Now you can hold his hand

and go live in that house.

Why would I?

But Joon-jae should go back to his rightful place.

Where are you going in the middle of our chat.

-To make dinner. -What do you mean?

Never mind!

Just order something today.

So tell me more.

Instead,

why don't we chat over some tea?

What would you like? Coffee?

-Green plum tea. -Oh, that sounds good.

Green plum tea.

Green plum is... Where do we keep the plum extract?

-On the second shelf of the fridge. -That's right. On the second shelf.

On the second shelf...

No, not there. Inside.

Shall I do it?

No, no. I found it.

I can totally make it for you.

Oh, honey, you're home. I told you, right?

She found her son.

Oh, right. Congratulations.

Yes, thank you so much.

But, why did you--

It's cold, and it's too hard on you to go to the market without a car.

He is off today so I asked him to go get groceries instead.

That's too much for you to do.

Why? Is it no good?

The vegetables are a bit wilted...

and there's too much fat on the meat.

I knew you would do this. Can't you even buy groceries right?

I'm sorry. I just took whatever they gave me.

It's okay. It happens, especially for a man.

I'll go and try to exchange them tomorrow.

You're making more work for her!

I'm so sorry.

You are too much trouble.

Yes.

-Ji-yong's aunt? -Yes, come in.

You knew all along, right?

That Joon-jae's my son.

I was going to tell you...

Are you going to tell Joon-jae?

No, I'm not.

I heard that you've been a good friend to him.

Thank you.

Please continue to be a good friend.

Yes. I'll be sure to.

Thank you, Auntie.

Don't call me Auntie.

Don't be like this.

And be how you were before.

Then, get some rest.

She smiled when she talked to me.

But why did it feel so cold?

Did she just draw the line

between Joon-jae and me?

Where is Father?

Go on ahead.

-Is he the CEO's real son? -Not sure.

I think so.

-What are you doing here? -Is he in the office?

I told you before. He went on a trip with his friends.

Really? To where?

He went to Hawaii to get some rest.

Hawaii...

He's been away for a while now.

Because of the food, he doesn't stay longer than a week abroad,

even for a very important business trip.

Joon-jae,

what are you trying to say?

That I can't trust you.

That I'm taking back what I told you:

"Be a dutiful son to Father."

We want to verify his travel records. His name is Heo Il-joong.

His resident number is 58-110.

IMMIGRATION OFFICE

There is no record of travel for your dad.

Hawaii or wherever, he hasn't left the country in the past six months.

I'm certain he's in the country.

Nam-doo,

-there's a place we need to break in. -Where?

Where is it? Where are we stealing from?

Wait a second.

-Where do you want to steal from? -My father's house.

What?

Hey, are you joking?

Why would you steal from your father's house?

It would be good if we could get in and gather some evidence.

But still, that Kang Seo-hee woman is frightening.

What if we get caught and croak, too? Hello?

I'll help, too.

-Help with what? -Stealing

from Heo Joon-jae's father's house. I'll help, too.

You heard everything?

No, it's fine.

But then again, you know Heo Chi-hyeon, his stepbrother,

and Joon-jae's mother are linked to Kang Seo-hee.

But still, you can't.

If Joon-jae finds out, it'll be hell! How about we don't tell him?

What is it?

What do you want help with?

What do you want me to do with that woman?

Can you keep her out of the house for about two hours?

About two hours?

That woman is so particular that she doesn't like to go to gatherings.

It's tricky get her to go out.

But I think there's a way to get her to want to come out.

What?

Ahn Jin-joo gathered up everyone except me?

Yes.

I heard that she's going to reveal some crucial information!

Something about how lies can't defeat the truth or whatever.

Is she crazy?

Where? Tell me where and when!

She made me promise not to tell you.

-Don't tell her you heard from me. -I got it!

Hurry up and tell me where!

Are you sleeping, Father?

Yeah.I guess the medicine is too strong. I'm a little fuzzy.

-Did you drink? -Yes.

Father,

couldn't I be...

your only son?

If so,

I'd protect you well until the end.

Do you really need Joon-jae?

Do you?

It's because I'm upset too.

I told Joon-jae many times that you're unwell,

but he says he won't come.

He told me

You're my father, so I should take care of you myself.

Father.

Do you know what he's up to these days?

He's going around defrauding people.

I was worried so I looked into it. That's what he has been doing.

But still, does it have to be Joon-jae?

You're drunk.

Go to bed.

Yes, Father.

GOODBYE BUG 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

GOODBYE BUG ONE SHOT, ONE KILL

-Let's go. -Okay.

Why are you going?

-What about you? -Me?

I have work to do.

We have work to do, so we'll get going, Cheong

See you later. Talk soon.

Aren't you cold like that in the winter? It's too short!

-Change before you go out. -How is this too short?

I don't think it's short.

Still, it's too...

pretty! Change!

Alright, that's enough.

Okay? Change.

Is it? Is it too pretty?

Yeah, it's not right to be too pretty today.

We were on a stakeout here for a week,

But we've never seen your father.

Maybe he could have gone out of town.

-And Heo Chi-hyeon is going to back late? -Yeah, that I confirmed.

Let's get it done quickly.

Is this going to work?

I don't know anything, okay?

Don't do anything illegal

and be careful!

Are you sending off your son?

One Shot, One Kill, Goodbye Bug, we'll do a once over.

Why are you here so early this month?

Ah, well... The house ant traps are only good for 15 days,

We will take away the old ones,

and set up new ones. Don't mind us.

How many traps are in the kitchen?

I was glad you called me. Thank you.

Heo Chi-hyeon, to be honest, there's something I'm curious about.

-What is it? -Do you know someone named Ma Dae-young?

Between Ma Dae-young and your mother and you, what's the relationship?

-Why are you asking such a question? -Ma Dae-young keeps lingering around us.

I don't know why that is.

If that has something to do with your family,

I thought you might be able to stop it.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

I have nothing to do with that person.

COPYING 75 ITEMS

Look here. The ant traps that are...

in the corners...

Look here!

This way.

Let me explain.

We installed...

ten ant traps and ten cockroaches traps.

Then we'll start fumigating.

What is this?

There is a trace of earwigs!

You see that black thing? Do you see it?

It's not dust, but an earwig's excrement.

No matter how much effort you make,

You can't prevent them from coming into the house.

Is it you, Honey?

Chi-hyeon?

Who are you?

I asked who you are!

Are you looking for this?

Father.

Are you Joon-jae?

-What are you doing here? -Are you really Joon-jae?

What in the world do you see here?

Just look at you. You can't even recognize your own son.

You left my mom and treated me cruelly just to end up like this?

What's going on?

Hey! Would you look over here?

Underneath this carpet, usually...

Let me check the room.

Wait, I'm not done explaining.

Let's leave for now. -To where?

Anywhere but this house.

But why?

If you stay here any longer, who knows

-what can happen to you. -This is my house.

What can happen to me in my own house?

What happened to Mister Nam,

and to you,

is all Stepmother's doing!

I don't know how you entered this house, but...

all you can do is to slander your mother, after ten years?

Who's my mother?

You probably want to say that I made the wrong choice.

Yes, you made the wrong choice. From beginning to end!

Who are you to judge me?

It's my choice! And it's my life!

It wasn't a mistake. I am happy.

My eyesight is getting a little weak. That's all.

you want to tell me that my choice and my life have been a failure?

My eyes...

will recover after surgery.

I'm not physically fit to have surgery right now, but when I do get surgery

I am not the only thing you can't see.

You can't see anything.

You have no intention to see...

how far you've gone off course.

You're that suspicious of your stepmother?

You rascal.

She's a kind woman who still cleans your room

and waits for you to come home.

I have lived with her for 17 years,

I know her best.

What do you know?

Kang Seo-hee's real name is Kang Ji-hyeon.

She was married twice before.

Both husbands passed away.

One from a car accident and the other from heart failure.

Both had traumatic corneal damage.

I really hope it was a coincidence that you ended up like this.

But everything says otherwise.

How did you come up with all these lies?

If you don't want to believe it, don't.

But I can't leave you alone like this.

I have to take you with me.

By force if necessary.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let go off me!

He said you've been defrauding people!

Are doing that horrible thing to me too? You bastard!

I hear loud noises from upstairs. It's a bit strange.

They said they work for an exterminator company,

but I hear "Father" and things like that.

Okay. I'll head home right now.

Don't let him leave. Call the police if something happens.

Is this why you asked to meet with me today?

It looks like Joon-jae is at my home. I'm sorry,

but I won't be able to give you a ride home. Goodbye.

Your memory will completely disappear, and you'll be arrested.

Even though you can't remember anything,

I hope that you will get a taste of hell for a very long time.

POLICE LINE

A man has died! Report to the post.

A man has died!

It's a real mermaid.

Catch her, even if you have to kill her. Capture her!

Se-hwa!

Those two lived happily.

Never getting sick or hurt.

They had lots of beautiful children and raised them well.

Happily, ever after,

they grew old together.

More lies.

It was all lies again.

Are you sick? Why are you so cold?

Please stay away from me.

I like you a lot.

Not as a friend, but as a man.

What kind of person was Ma Dae-young?

You bastard! Why are you saying this now?

Come inside!

I told you not to let just anyone in here!

Why did you lie?

So? Do you regret us being together?
