Original subtitles

A short while later,

that girl realized that she was...

the late chairman's...

true blood grandchild.

That girl...

is me.

What do you want me to do for you?

You won't even...

confirm that I'm telling the truth?

I can tell from the look in your eyes.

What is your real name?

It says Jang So Jin on the registry.

At home, I was called Jang Do Young.

Please persuade the elders on Chairman Wi Dong Sub's line...

to support me.

(Episode 13)

I apologize for being away for so long,

but I visited because an issue...

I cannot ignore came to light.

Please take a stand and support...

a child who holds the truth.

I'm sorry to say that...

I'm not yet able to disclose the story.

However, I vouch for that person,

so I plead that you trust in me and give your support.

Who on earth is that person?

Come in.

Aren't you Ms. Jang?

Don't you work for Chairwoman Kim?

That means you've decided to go your separate ways.

That's true.

That's why I said it will be a difficult decision to make.

Think carefully about it...

and get back to me.

You won't ask...

what I plan to do?

Would you do what I told you to?

If I were to consider what you went through growing up,

and how you felt coming to me,

then lip service,

talking that revenge is of no good or use...

would only hurt you more.

You came to me because I'm your only living relative.

You kept it all inside...

while you fought and grew up.

You went through so much.

It's Do Young, right?

Yes.

You're my only great-grandniece.

I did what I could for you.

What you need...

is someone who acknowledges you.

When it becomes too much,

give up whenever you want to and come and see me, Do Young.

Thank you.

I checked to make sure no one followed him.

Will it be okay?

Even we don't know where he's going.

That's how we can keep him safe.

Even if...

something were to happen to me,

I don't want to ask for his help...

knowing it'll endanger him.

Ms. Jang had Monk Un San under her protection.

I'm sure she's up to something.

Jenny Jang...

is that girl...

from that time.

The girl that you and Ms. Wang went to Suncheon to meet.

She's that girl.

Help us.

Help us.

Help us.

Where on earth...

did it start to go wrong?

Out of all those years,

how long did she know and plan this?

I will...

take responsibility.

This happened because I didn't sort things out properly.

She's not a child.

She's grown beyond our reach.

What could you do now?

There's no way you know...

exactly how I feel now.

You don't have to hide it from me.

Whoever you are,

I don't care.

What does that mean?

Are you saying you know everything about me?

You don't think...

I'm the wife of Wi Chang Soo, do you?

Ma'am.

I don't care what you think.

What happened in the past...

can't change anything.

No one...

will ever touch me in any way!

If you feel any sympathy for me,

save it for yourself.

I...

don't need anyone...

to help me.

Well done. Now go and rest.

(Sumnuri Orphanage, Transfer Manifest)

(Sumnuri Orphanage, Transfer Manifest)

(Jang So Jin, female, 9 years old)

(Suncheon Orphanage)

Why are you coming from my room?

Well...

I thought you probably ran out of the medication for gastritis.

So I dropped by the pharmacy and got it for you.

Thank you. You didn't need to do that.

It's on your desk. Don't forget to take it on time.

(Sumnuri Orphanage, Transfer Manifest)

What brings you all the way here?

I thought you were busy with the prosecution investigation.

How could you call yourself a businessman...

when you treat a guest coldly without asking about their business?

What's your business then?

For the international city project,

I'd like to give you a chance to participate in the investment.

What do you say?

In return,

you have to support me.

Once we combine our shares together,

even if the elderly shareholders turn their backs on us,

we can still protect our positions.

Did you get backstabbed by Jenny Jang?

What did I tell you?

I told you to be wary of her.

Then you probably know this well.

She's never going...

to give you such an opportunity.

I got one more condition.

You should use your powers to get me out of the investigation.

Only when I rightfully secure my position,

I'll be able to look out for your best interests.

I didn't give you any answer yet, Chairwoman Kim.

Speaking of the international city project,

let me ladle it out first.

And you can have the leftover.

Will it be still okay with you?

More than half of the elders...

already granted us their voting rights.

If that's for Monk Un San,

they wouldn't mind using their rights in any way we want.

Not to mention Chairwoman Kim's dismissal from the board,

we have enough votes to achieve our goal.

(Mental Massage Function)

Have a rest for a while.

All right.

It really helps me relax.

Thank you, Sun Woo.

(Mayor Do)

(Mayor's Room)

No news is good news between us, isn't it?

Gosh, what are you talking about?

You know I think about you every day.

What's the matter?

There's a problem.

The current development site has a ground engineering issue,

so we'll need additional land.

Is that private land?

That's the problem.

Whoever the landowner is,

he or she is in hiding, never making any appearance.

And the person on the registration looks like a figurehead.

No way, Jenny Jang. I'm not messing with you.

This is really happening.

Trust me.

I told you I wouldn't betray you anymore.

We'll find out when we find the landowner.

Don't make any trouble, all of you.

Now you're eating food?

Why are you acting strange all of a sudden?

You starved yourself all along, and now you're eating for what?

It won't be long until I can eat here.

Spread rumors that my son has a secret lover...

and Jenny Jang got into this marriage for the wrong reason.

Make sure every single person you know hears about that.

All sorts of ladies come in and out of your place,

so the rumor must start from here...

to make it look genuine.

This is better...

than the ominous deer sticking to my son.

Don't you think?

Did you think...

I would never find out about it?

How will you handle it?

What about your son?

When I break something,

I can handle fixing it.

There's no way...

I would share my son with Jenny Jang.

Hello, I'm Reporter Kim Hyuk Kyung from Taehwa Daily.

Reporter Kim?

What brings you here unannounced?

I'd like to interview Ms. Jang and her husband.

There's this rumor going around.

Before I write about it, I'd like to talk to her first.

What rumor?

There's a rumor that Deo's eldest son, Wi Jung Hyuk...

and you were involved in a sham marriage.

I heard President Wi Jung Hyuk isn't capable of loving women.

- What did you say? - And you knew it all along.

But, in order to become a Deo family,

you even proposed a false marriage to him first.

Don't say anything.

What a funny rumor.

However, even gossip has class.

It's such a shame...

you're writing this kind of low-class gossip story.

Why don't you give him some real news, Sun Woo?

Something meaningful.

Something controversial.

The news that can hit the world like bang!

Please come with me.

Gosh, Jenny Jang is really something.

A mere servant married the heir of Deo.

Although it's a fake marriage,

how ambitious could she have been to pursue something like that?

Goodness.

How big is this story you want to give me?

To bring me to such a private place.

Hey!

- What are you doing? - Here's a story for you.

I heard twice every month,

you and the elder son of Taehwa Daily...

get on a plane to go abroad for illegal gambling.

- How do you like that story? - I'm Deo's exclusive reporter.

Do you think I rose to this position...

and found out about Jung Hyuk without any help?

So, who did you receive help from?

It's probably someone from Deo. Someone high up.

Chairwoman Kim?

If you write that article,

another article about you and your illegal gambling partner...

will be written by another newspaper company, Mr. Kim.

I'm sorry for suddenly asking to meet you.

It's all right. You can come see me anytime.

Yesterday, a reporter came to see me.

He asked about you and my brother.

I just told him you were a friend,

and I thought you should know.

You're behind this, aren't you?

You have never approved of me.

In the past, and even at this moment,

you're just using me as you please.

I just chose between something bad...

and something worse.

You're my son.

I won't just sit back and watch you go down.

Am I really your son?

What kind of mother abandons her child like that?

Do Young.

It's been so long since you called me by that name.

I'll say it often now.

It's just a name after all.

Go get some rest. I'll see you at dinner.

There was an incident at the boutique.

A reporter...

came to check a rumor about me and Jung Hyuk,

and he told me...

you approved of him releasing the article.

Do you think I really did?

Of course not.

You are...

always cautious until you become certain of something.

Even if you're thinking of kicking me out of Deo later,

the international city project isn't even clear yet,

and you'd never do that.

There's a problem with land acquisition.

The land the landmark building will be built on...

is a residential area, and it seems the landowner is causing trouble.

As always, I'll take care of it.

I'm sure you'll take good care of it.

I'll get changed and come back for dinner.

I didn't know you were here, Ms. Jang.

It's strange how we always cross paths like this.

I was just on my way out.

It's amazing how she always finds a way to survive.

There's a problem with the land of the international city project.

Put off releasing that article for now.

That landowner wants to meet you.

- He called first? - Yes.

Make an appointment immediately.

Before Jenny Jang makes a move,

I must get him on my side first.

Is this the right place?

This is the right address.

Yes, where are you?

Let's change the location.

Do you see the building at two o'clock?

He wants you to visit Lee Hyun Ji at the detention center.

What does she have to do with the landowner?

There's been a setback in the international city project.

There's some new land that's been added,

and Jenny Jang and Chairwoman Kim will both be...

desperately trying to find the landowner.

That landowner...

is me.

When I purchased that empty lot 10 years ago,

I knew it would pay off like this one day.

If they don't get their hands on that land,

whether it's Jenny Jang or Chairwoman Kim,

they'll have no choice but to wait without being able to do anything.

I'll make them anxious and play with them a bit.

Since I've been played by them all this time.

- Give me that land. - What?

Can you afford to buy it?

I don't have any money to buy land.

Instead, I'll let you have something you want.

You hate those people who just do as they please.

And you never want to be ignored again.

I can move exactly according to your picture.

Since this won't end...

just with Jenny Jang.

So all you have to do is get paid for your land...

and watch comfortably with me.

What do you think?

How about joining forces with me?

I don't care how you got your hands on that land...

while you were locked up.

Why did you ask to see me?

Since you're Ms. Jang's boss.

You're the one who gives Ms. Jang orders.

What do you want?

Get me out of here.

Then I'll hand over the additional land.

Once you're out,

you'll start digging into the yacht incident...

and try to go after Director Wi.

I probably will.

But weren't you the one who said...

you'd even sacrifice your daughter...

if necessary?

You told me to spy on Ms. Jang.

I'll give you my answer.

I'll do it.

Once I'm out of here.

What can you do?

Anything.

If Ms. Jang can do it,

why can't I?

I might not...

get you out of here.

Do as you wish.

You're the ones running out of time.

I have nothing to lose.

I dwell in the past.

I said what I wanted to say.

You're just like Do Young.

I liked Do Young a lot,

and you're just like her.

Now...

that means nothing anymore.

Say goodbye to your fellow inmates.

You'll be out of here in a few days.

(Letter of resignation)

Tae Seok, it's me.

Why won't you take my calls?

I know you're in there. Let me in.

You won't see me ever again?

You said you won't leave me. Keep your promise.

20 years ago and again now,

will you just leave me?

If we do this, my mom will win yet again.

Tae Seok.

Let me at least see your face.

Open the door.

I won't...

say anything else.

I'll just look at you.

Open the door.

Don't touch my people again.

My husband and Tae Seok, both of them.

I did my best since I was young to make you like me.

Despite what I did,

you only cared for Jung Hyuk who couldn't stand being at home.

You never loved me.

Instead, you took and crushed the people I loved.

So now...

I will abandon you.

I plan to plead to my in-laws.

That I'm willing to, with a heavy heart,

watch my mother pay for what she did.

I know...

what my mother told you to do.

I know I have no right to come here.

But here I am, out of selfishness,

breaking your heart again.

I'm sorry.

I won't come looking for you again.

(Charcoal-grilled Pork)

Let's go inside.

You go ahead.

Auntie, bring me some...

What makes you think I'm your auntie?

- Ma'am, I'll have... - I'm the owner.

Whatever. Lay out some pork.

My guest has to eat well.

We're an all-you-can-eat place, so eat all you want.

Mom, Hyun Ji's here.

Hyun Ji, what happened to you?

You got out?

I'd have gone to pick you up.

Did Mr. Yoon get you out?

Something like that.

How is this guy your friend?

He looks 30 years older.

Things happened.

Come with me.

Hey. Are you being blackmailed or did you take out a loan?

I don't like his look. He seems dangerous.

- He's fine. - I don't like it.

I feel bad for your dad. He's powerless, isn't he?

I don't have a dad.

Eat all you want.

Eat up. You can have all you want.

Well done. You've been through so much.

Without you too, me and Ye Jun...

We just need your mom to come home now.

You're crying again. Don't cry.

What are you doing?

Get me promoted in this situation?

A Deo Group son-in-law deserves such a title.

If you don't like it, I'll get you an office in the company.

Quit being a prosecutor.

That's what you wanted.

Ma'am.

You can call me "Mother" now.

That's what a son-in-law calls his wife's mother now.

You haven't heard yet.

A few days ago, I had a meal with the elders of your family.

They're worried that you live with your wife's family,

so I told them I treat you like a son...

and that they needn't worry.

We agreed to meet on a regular basis.

This is too big of a change.

- Last week, you... - Then...

are you saying you'll...

split up with Ye Nam and leave?

No. I won't leave as if you kicked me out.

That's why you should become a member of the Deo family.

You like flashy titles.

And you like to make a profit.

Or else it would've been impossible to survive in this house.

I won't upset you ever again.

That's final.

I don't know the name, age, or gender of the landowner.

They're completely hidden.

I should ask why that is.

How dare you come here?

You threw her mother over a cliff.

I saw you do it.

You need Hyun Ji's go-ahead...

to get the land.

You won't congratulate me on my release?

There's always a way out.

It's not even Christmas,

but I got a huge land as a gift.

What do you think...

you can do with it?

I told you once before.

What you're trying to do.

I can't help you succeed, but I can get in your way.

I said I'd become a nuisance.

I already gave the land to the person who got me out.

I just...

called you here because I wondered what face...

you'd make to see me.

So? How do you feel?

Are you satisfied?

You won't ask who I gave the land to.

I gave it to Chairwoman Kim Yeo Ok.

Now I like that face.

Nothing you do will change anything.

Revenge?

Once it takes control,

it will only tie you down forever.

Yes.

I mean me.

You once asked me...

what period I live in.

One who lives in the frozen past.

That is...

the person sitting before you.

Are you worried for me or trying to persuade me?

Now I really don't know.

That's for you to decide.

I gave a clear warning.

Even if it's you, if you're in my way,

I'll get rid of you too.

Like my mom?

It's for the better.

If she sides with Chairwoman Kim,

she'll be safer.

She believes we killed her mother.

That doesn't matter.

If she's to side with the chairwoman,

that's what she must believe.

Things just got a little harder.

When she really gets in the way, I won't let her off.

We should wrap things up quickly.

Chairwoman Kim met Hyun Ji...

without telling you.

What with the rumors of Jung Hyuk,

I'm sure she's up to something.

We must check.

Give me the car key.

I'll take you home.

Will you just ditch your car then?

I can sort something out.

Drive carefully, Sun Woo. See you.

Lee Hyun Ji. You got her out of prison.

I got her out...

because I felt sorry for her for some reason.

Seeing her...

reminds me of the day I met you at the bathhouse.

I must have...

considered you my daughter.

I was pleased and proud of you,

but I also missed the days when you were a child.

Oh, right.

It's your birthday tomorrow.

How about a party at home?

You were by my side for 20 years.

I'd like to...

host a party to celebrate you for once.

That's fine.

A bowl of Ms. Wang's seaweed soup for breakfast...

Now I think of it,

ever since you moved in,

there never was a day where you were the special guest.

Your wedding was about you and Jung Hyuk.

It's your first birthday as a member of the family.

Do as I say.

I will.

Don't skimp just because it's us and a few guests.

Prepare enough food.

Yes, ma'am. You just need to confirm the amount.

You and Jenny are very close.

You'll do as you see fit.

Go and rest. Prepare for tomorrow.

I will.

- Did you make the calls? - Yes.

I told Director Wi, her husband, and Master Jung Hyuk as well.

- Do I put this on the wine table? - Yes.

(Happy birthday, Do Young.)

It's my wife's birthday.

(Happy birthday, Do Young.)

Master Jung Hyuk.

Wouldn't it be...

better to kick Do Young out of Deo for her own sake?

Whenever I see her with Chairwoman Kim,

my heart feels like it'll explode, and I can't stand it.

Even if I want to leave,

I can't make myself do it, out of concern for her.

I know...

you care for Do Young dearly.

Shouldn't you stop her?

If Chairwoman Kim finds out,

everyone will become miserable.

You don't have to worry about that.

Do Young's birthday is not just today.

There's another day when she was literally reborn.

Thank you for coming today.

Shall we toast?

I think it'll take time before everyone comes out.

Everything's ready, ma'am.

Cheers.

Can you believe it?

We're throwing a party for Do Young at this house?

What do you mean?

A day Do Young was reborn?

Not long after Chairwoman Kim joined the Deo family,

Mr. Hwang and I went to Suncheon.

And there, for the first time,

we met Do Young, who had lost her parents in an accident.

Do Young...

survived in the middle of a heap of trash.

She was locked up in a crate and abandoned with her baby brother.

So, please...

send Do Young out of this family.

Before something worse happens.

(Happy birthday, Do Young.)

(Happy birthday, Do Young.)

Yes, Sun Woo.

Jogwang's Chairman Choi and Chairwoman Kim joined forces.

Both their shares...

outnumber the elders' votes.

- When did this happen? - Not long ago.

Chairwoman Kim knows something for sure.

She might even know who you are.

I wanted to give you a gift in advance.

How beautiful.

This looks...

perfect on you.

Do you like it?

Yes.

I'm glad. I'll see you outside.

Ma'am, they're asking to bring the same bottle as this,

but I can't find it.

Follow me.

I'm sure there's a bottle left.

Ms. Jang.

Ms. Wang is asking to see you, saying it's urgent.

- What do you want? - I'm sorry, ma'am.

No.

Wait!

Ms. Wang.

Ms. Wang.

Hold on.

- Are you all right? - Ms. Jang.

I'm sorry, sir.

The chairwoman has ordered us to keep you from entering.

There you go.

Ms. Jang.

Are you okay?

- What do we do? - Ms. Jang...

What should we do?

Release Do Young immediately.

What are you talking about?

I know you locked up Do Young in the basement!

Oh, no...

If you hear what I have to say,

you'll have no choice but to do as I say.

Goodness. Help!

Help us!

Anyone, please open the door!

Ms. Jang, what do we do?

Stay calm.

This isn't right!

What choice do I have?

If I let her out,

me, you, Ye Nam, and Ye Eun...

will drown instead of her.

Still, you shouldn't do this!

I knew it.

You knew.

Ms. Wang. Ms. Wang!

Ms. Wang.

You have to stay with me.

Ms. Wang.

Stay with me.

Ms. Wang! Please stay with me.

It's okay.

Ms. Wang!

You knew Do Young was Wi Chang Soo's daughter,

didn't you?

What on earth were you thinking...

when you married her?

When she lived with us...

plotting to come after me?

Does she mean more than...

your own family?

What is she to you?

Why did you abandon your love for her?

Why are you trying to protect her?

Because she's the only person I have.

She's the only one I have left.

If I lose her too,

I have no reason to live.

(Secret Boutique)

What happened on the yacht that day?

I need to know what my mom was doing there.

This will ruin the international city project.

I didn't do it for it to end like this.

Now there's no going back.

I'll tell the world.

Who Do Young is and who we are.

I got the confession of the maid who lured her to the basement.

What does she mean to you?

I lost my loved one and she's the only one I have left.

They're dead already.

If I lose her too, I have no reason to live.
