Seung Jae.

You filthy and vile...

What are you two plotting in my house?

- Ms. Hong. - Shut up!

Have you no fear?

Whose son is Ma Jun?

Who is his father?

I won't let you two get away with this.

You won't get away with this.

Ms. Hong! Wait!

Don't go. Let me explain, will you?

Get your filthy hands off me!

Get out of my way!

Ms. Hong! Ma Jun is my husband's son!

He's your only grandson!

Let me explain. I can explain everything.

Just hear me out, will you?

I saw what you two did with my own eyes.

I heard what you two said with my own ears.

What more explanation do I need?

Ms. Hong.

Shut up! Don't you dare say my name!

We're through.

I don't even want to see you any more.

Get out of my way.

You wanted a boy.

You're the one who asked me for a boy.

You told me to do whatever it takes

to have a boy.

You're the one who treat me like a criminal.

I couldn't breathe because of you.

So I got you a boy. What's the problem?

He can have a boy with another woman,

but what's wrong with my boy? Why?

He's your son,

but he can't be a son of the Gu family.

That's the problem.

Ms. Hong!

Wait! Ms. Hong! Wait!

Let go.

Wait.

You can't kick me out like this.

I can't let this happen.

Ms. Hong! Please forgive me.

I'm sorry for what I've done.

Please keep this a secret from my husband.

Don't tell him.

- Please don't tell him. - Let go!

- Ms. Hong! - Let go!

Please, Ms. Hong!

Stop it, In Suk.

It's over now. Let her go.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me just this once!

I'll do anything you say!

Let her go!

Ms. Hong.

Ms. Hong...

Ms. Hong...

Ms. Hong... Ms. Hong...

Ms. Hong...

Don't do anything.

You weren't here today.

What are you saying?

You weren't here today.

You didn't see me or Ms. Hong.

This didn't happen.

- So... - Seung Jae...

So, go to your room right away.

Take two sleeping pills and go to sleep,

as if nothing happened.

Everything will be taken care of

by tomorrow morning.

But Ms. Hong...

Even if something happens to her,

pretend you don't know anything.

You don't need to feel guilty. I did this.

You don't need to be scared. I did this.

Nothing will happen to Ma Jun or you.

As long as I'm here, Ma Jun and you are safe.

Trust me.

I'm sorry for what happened.

I'll get my punishment in hell.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Where is the sickroom?

It's on the second floor.

Go.

What about you?

I don't belong there.

Come on, you should go.

Okay.

Good morning.

How is she?

She took a big blow to her head,

and she was left in the rain for

a long time at an old age.

I think you should be prepared for the worst.

Mother. It's me, Il Jung.

Open your eyes, Mother.

Mother...

It's me, Il Jung. Open your eyes, Mother.

Mother, you can't die like this.

I can't let you die

without seeing your son one last time.

Please open your eyes, Mother.

Please open your eyes, Mother.

Mother.

Mother, can you see me?

Can you hear me?

Mother! Mother! It's me, Il Jung.

Mother, do you recognise me?

Can you hear me? Mother?

My baby...

My baby...

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Luck was on my side. Right?

Why did she go out in the rain at night?

Who knows? She wasn't even senile.

How did they find her?

That's a strange story.

Someone knocked on the Chairman's

door in the middle of the night.

He went outside, but no one was there.

Maybe Ms. Hong's soul wanted to let

the Chairman know as she was leaving.

Gosh...

You don't need to feel guilty. I did this.

As long as I'm here, Ma Jun and you are safe.

Trust me.

Can you get up?

Grandma! Can you get up?

I'll help you.

But, you have to promise me something.

Forgive my mum.

Forgive her for what she did to you.

If you do, I'll help you get up. I'll save you.

You promised me, okay?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Mother!

Mother!

Gong Ju! Gong Ju!

Gong Ju!

Ma Jun! What are you doing here?

Mother!

Mother!

Jag Yeong, is Grandma up there?

No, I don't think so.

Check the bathroom and the veranda upstairs.

Yes, Chairman.

What happened?

You were with Grandma that night, right?

Tell me what happened.

You know what happened to Grandma, right?

So? What do you want to know?

Ma Jun.

Aren't you happy that Grandma is dead?

We don't have to listen to her

nagging voice any more!

She can't tell us what to do now!

We don't have to see her any more.

What more can you ask for?

Stop it, Gu Ma Jun!

What is wrong with you? What did you see?

What did you see? Why are you so scared?

Are you okay?

Do you have indigestion?

But, you didn't eat much.

Go away.

You must've been much closer to.

Grandma than I thought you were.

I thought you didn't get along with her.

You should stop crying.

Grandma will be very sad to see you like this.

I said, go away!

What do you know, you beggar?

Who do you think you are? Huh?

Who am I? I'm your older brother.

An older brother's job is to look after

his younger brother in times of trouble.

You may think of me as a beggar,

but I'm your older brother.

We may have different mothers,

but we have the same father and bloodline.

Yeah, right. You're not my brother.

We're not from the same bloodline!

No! No! No!

I hope you disappear!

I hope you disappear!

Jag Yeong!

How have you been?

Tak Goo is doing well too, right?

I came to say goodbye to Ms. Hong.

I know that I don't belong here,

but I thought it was the right thing to do.

I have a favour to ask.

Stop making excuses to show up in front of us.

Stop using your son to pretend

you're a part of our family.

Jag Yeong.

Don't you know that you and your son

are an embarrassment to our family?

Now that Grandma has passed away,

no one from my family will take your side.

No one will welcome you even if you come.

So stop showing up, will you?

Uh...

Ma Jun! Ma Jun! What's wrong?

I think Ma Jun is a little sick.

He has a fever.

What did you do to him?

I didn't do anything.

He seemed to have an upset stomach,

so I patted his back.

He was fine until a minute ago,

then he started having a fever...

Get away. Get away from Ma Jun.

Keep it down.

Ma Jun is sick. He has a high fever.

We're in the middle of a wake.

Mr. Han, take Ma Jun out of here.

You can send him to a hospital if you'd like.

Yes, Sir.

Ma Jun, let's go.

You filthy lowlifes.

When did you get here?

Right before you did.

By the way, did you eat dinner?

Huh? Of course. It's way past dinner time.

What about you, Mother?

Of course. It's way past dinner time.

His name is Ma Jun, right?

Yes, he's 3 months younger than I am.

I hope he's okay.

The Chairman is very sad

because of what happened to Grandma.

He'll be very worried if Ma Jun gets sick too.

You're talking like an adult now, Tak Goo.

Yes, that's the attitude you need.

In life, even if it may seems like you're being

trate unfairly, you'll make up for it later.

You'll see.

The good people will win in the end.

That's the fact of life, okay?

Okay.

I should go before I miss the last bus.

You're leaving already?

Of course. You should go inside too.

The Chairman is by himself.

Okay.

Okay.

Mother, can I live with you in Cheongsan?

I guess not.

Don't be ridiculous. Hurry up and go inside.

If you really want to live with me,

wait until you're old enough to take care of me.

I won't let you live with me

until you become a great man.

Until then, don't even think about it.

Understand?

Understand?

Okay.

Are you saying okay because you know

what I mean, or are you just saying it?

I know what you mean.

Go inside. Come on, go inside.

Okay, I'll go inside.

Go home safely, okay?

Okay, I'll be careful.

I think the fever went down.

He's asleep.

Do you want to leave this place?

Do you want to leave, just the three of us?

Whenever I close my eyes,

I think of what happened that night.

I think I'm going crazy with guilt.

Yet, I still feel miserable and angry.

I get so angry whenever I think

about that boy and his mother.

How much longer can I bear this?

I want to forget everything and leave this place.

And what if we do?

Do you think you can forget

everything and be happy?

Do you think you can live light heartedly,

not regretting what you've left behind?

I want to kill myself.

You're Ma Jun's mother.

If you falter, Ma Jun will falter too.

If you get weak,

Ma Jun's future will get weak too.

You have to pull yourself together

and become stronger.

I'll be your shadow.

I'll do whatever it takes

to protect Ma Jun and you.

So be yourself.

Be Seo In Suk. That's all you need to do.

My baby...

You're Ma Jun's mother.

If you falter, Ma Jun will falter too.

If you get weak,

Ma Jun's future will get weak too.

You have to pull yourself together

and become stronger.

You scared me!

Jag Yeong, what are you doing here?

I'm here to get some fresh air

because this house is too depressing.

What are you doing here, mum?

Um...

It was too stuffy in my room.

It's hot outside.

Stop it, Gu Ma Jun!

What is wrong with you?

What did you see? Why are you so scared?

Mum!

Yes?

Nothing.

Okay.

What do you want?

I'd like to talk to you.

This should be enough money to open a store.

What do you want me to do with this?

I'd like you to take care of a woman for me.

Can I... send a telegram?

Where are you going to send it to?

To Seoul, to tell him to come here quickly

because his mother needs him.

This is all the money that I have.

This isn't enough to send a telegram.

Can't you do something?

It's an emergency.

Can you get it down to 7 syllables?

7?

Mum danger in Ulmokjae.

Who should I make it to?

Kim Tak Goo at Geose Ong Foods residence.

Telegram!

Here.

Mum danger in Ulmokjae. Sender: Shin Yug Yeong.

Oh, no. Maybe your mother is very sick.

Who is Shin Yug Yeong?

Huh?

Uh... She's a school friend.

Is she the daughter of the man named Shin,

who exercised violence on you?

Yug Yeong is nothing like her father.

She never lies.

I can assure you that she sent this telegram

because there's an emergency.

Can I go and check up on her?

That won't be necessary. I'll look into it.

Don't trouble yourself with trivial matters.

Go upstairs and study.

This isn't a trivial matter.

This concerns my mother.

That's why I'm going to look into it.

But Chairman...

After the memorial services,

I'm going to add you to my family register.

Family register?

Once I do, you won't have

to live as Kim Tak Goo any more.

But, I'm Kim Tak Goo.

What else would I live as?

You'll live as Gu Hyeong Jun,

the eldest son of this family.

Gu Hyeong Jun?

Yes.

From now on, your name is Gu Hyeong Jun,

not Kim Tak Goo.

Forget your life as Kim Tak Goo up to now.

Forget your name and forget your mother too.

- That's what you need to do. - Chairman!

No, I'm your father.

From now on, you are Gu Hyeong Jun

and I'm your father.

From now on, call me Father.

Mi Sun! Mi Sun!

- Are you home? - Yes, I'm home.

What seems to be the matter?

Why are you looking for Tak Goo's mum?

I got a message from the Chairman.

The Chairman? What did he say?

A telegram was sent to his residence in Seoul.

A telegram? What telegram?

I'm not sure, but the Chairman told me to check

whether Tak Goo's mum is okay or not.

He just wanted me to check if you're sick or not.

I'm fine.

Someone must've pulled a prank.

Someone must've pulled this prank after

finding out that she's the chairman’s mistress...

I just came to check if you're okay or not.

I'll get back to work.

Lock the door just in case.

Okay.

Bye.

He came all the way here for nothing.

No, don't worry about it.

I wonder who pulled a prank like that.

This bothers me.

What? What do you want me to do?

Are you asking me to kill a person?

Do you expect me to kill a person

in exchange for money to open a store?

If that's what I wanted, I could've

done that without coming to you.

I want a different method.

Something more realistic than death.

She has a pretty face.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this too.

Are you asking me to...

If this goes well, I'll pay you double.

What's there to life? Let's go for it.

What are you doing?

Ma Jun, what are you doing here?

Come with me.

Where are you going?

Cheongsan.

You're going to Cheongsan, right?

What?

You'll get caught if you go that way.

I know the way out. Come with me.

Thanks for showing me the way out, but...

Are you really coming to Cheongsan with me?

Have you ever seen me joke around with you?

If the Chairman finds you gone too,

he'll be worried.

Your mother will be baffled too.

Stop messing around and go back.

No, I'm never going back to that house.

From now on, I don't have a mother or a father.

Of course you do.

They're alive and well in that house.

They're dead to me.

When Grandma passed away,

so did my mother and father.

What? Do you still have a fever?

You're not making any sense.

I thought your mother was in danger.

Aren't you going?

If you're not going,

then I'll go anywhere by myself.

Wait! Hold on.

Fine.

I don't know what you're up to,

but come with me.

But, let's come back together.

If you promise me that, I'll take you.

If not, I'm taking you back home.

Okay? Okay?

Why?

What?

Why are you so desperate to bring me home?

You'll have Father and that house

all to yourself once I'm gone. But why?

Because the Chairman will be worried.

Do you know what the worst thing

a man can do is?

To make his parents worried. Understand?

If you do, let's go.

And let's come back together too.

Come on.

I'm sorry. I have to go to Cheongsan.

From Tak Goo.

I found that on his desk when

I went upstairs after making dinner.

I can't find Ma Jun either.

Gong Ju! Gong Ju!

What's wrong?

What happened?

The cash and the jewellery inside the safe

are gone.

What?

They're all gone. I'm sure Tak Goo did this.

- Gong Ju! - Yes?

Go and get that boy.

Uh...

Go and get Tak Goo.

Tak Goo is not home.

What?

I think he left, both Tak Goo and Ma Jun.

Go and report to the police

that our house has been robbed.

Tell them that the thief abetted my son

to run away with him.

Don't blame the boy unless you're sure

of what happened.

Who else would do this?

What happens in the family stays in the family.

Don't make a fuss over some lost money.

- You're excused. - Yes, Sir.

I'm not doing this because of the money.

He took Ma Jun with him.

What if he does something to Ma Jun?

And then what?

What are you going to do about it?

You don't need to worry about that.

Both Tak Goo and Ma Jun will be safe.

I'm going to send people to find them.

Until then, stay put.

If something happens to Ma Jun,

I won't let anyone get away with it.

Both Tak Goo and his mother won't

get away with it.

I swear, I'll make them pay. Understand?

Mum danger in Ulmokjae. Sender: Shin Yug Yeong.

Take this.

No, I can't take this.

Take it.

I'm just grateful that you came to see me

in my humble home.

I can't accept this from you too.

I'm not doing this for you.

I'm doing this for myself.

If only your parents didn't pass away,

you could've married Il Jung.

Why did I insist in making him marry In Suk?

This is all my fault.

No, you took me in after I lost my parents.

You put me through school

and helped me get a nursing assistant license.

I'm very grateful for what you've done.

These rings are my favourite.

I'm sorry that these are all

that I have to give you,

but take them as an apology from me.

And from now on, live for your own happiness.

What's that sound?

Is it a cat?

Here kitty, kitty! Are you here to steal food?

Where are you, kitty?

Kitty, where are you?

Let's go!

Is this the place?

Yes, this is Ulmokjae.

No one's here.

I think it's going to rain soon.

How do you know that?

I can tell by the smell.

The smell?

I smell rain in the wind.

What are we going to do?

Are we just going to wait here?

I thought your mum was in danger.

Aren't you going to see your mum?

The telegram said Ulmokjae.

Yug Yeong!

Tak Goo!

Sorry, I'm late.

Tak Goo... My father...

What about your father?

My father...

Please don't kill me...

Please don't kill me...

Please don't kill me...

What?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who's there? Who are you?

Please don't kill me.

No!

Not my mother!

I can't live without my mother!

So, leave my poor mother alone!

Mother! Mother!

Bring Tak Goo and Ma Jun home safely.

If you're calling Mr. Han, he won't answer.

Ma Jun thinks that Grandma passed away

because of you.

Do you want to find your mother?

Don't show up in the Geoseong house

until you die.

It's the only way both your mother

and you can live.

The person who took your mother had

a pin wheel tattoo on his wrist.

Where's the pin wheel tattoo?
