Mother!

Tak Goo!

Mother!

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Tak Goo!

Tak Goo!

Mother!

Tak Goo!

Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim!

Go after him!

Watch out, Tak Goo!

Slow down, will you? You might get hurt!

Don't worry, mum.

I'm not going to lose you this time!

Tak Goo!

No! Please! Please!

Mother!

Go after him!

Yes, Sir!

Mother!

What's that?

Oh, geez...

Back up!

Back up! Now! Come on!

Get her!

Stop!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Hang in there!

I'm coming for you! Hang in there!

Mother! Mother...

No... No...

Stop.

Tak Goo.

Tak Goo.

Mother!

Tak Goo! Where are you?

So there you are.

I've been looking for you.

What are you waiting for? Take her away.

Let me go! I said, let me go!

I said, let me go!

Move! I can't see my mother's face!

Kim Tak Goo! If you want to live, go away.

I can't see my mother's face.

I said, go away!

Tak Goo!

I said, move!

I want to see my mother's face.

Why, you...

What are you doing? Don't touch my son!

Why, you...

Stop it!

Damn you! Stop punching him!

Why, you...

Mother!

Stop it.

Stop it, Tak Goo.

Don't come here. Don't get hit.

Just run away!

Stop it, you guys! Stop hitting Tak Goo!

Just go!

Stop it, Tak Goo! Don't come here!

Why, you...

How much beating do I have to take

before you move?

I'm not leaving until I see my mother.

It's up to you.

Either move right now,

or keep punching me until I die.

Tak Goo...

It's been 14 years!

I haven't seen her since I was 12!

I've been looking all over for my mother!

She's right there!

Do you think you can go if you were me?

I'm sure you have a mother too.

I'm sure you know how it feels for

a son to be unable to know if

his mother is alive or not!

You're someone's son too!

Tak Goo.

Please let me see my mum's face.

Please step aside...

Mother.

Tak Goo! Is that you?

Yes, it's me.

Are you really my son?

Yes, Mother. I'm your son Tak Goo.

It really is you. It really is you, Tak Goo.

How have you been?

Did you eat right and lived with pride?

Yes.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you, son.

Mother.

Tak Goo.

Tak Goo.

Mother...

My son.

Mother.

Yes?

Let's go home.

Okay, let's go home.

- I'm home. - I'm home.

Did you just get back?

We ate after the wedding.

Mum, were you waiting for us?

No, I wasn't.

It was a cute wedding, mum.

It was calm, peaceful, and holy.

No one came, but both Ma Jun

and Yug Yeong were serious.

They're a married couple now.

I don't want to hear it.

Go upstairs and go to sleep.

I think she was waiting for us.

Don't you think so too?

After all I've done to raise him...

How could he betray me like this,

after all I've done for him?

That jerk...

How do you feel?

How do you feel about becoming

the Geoseong family's daughter-in-law?

I'm tired. I need to wash up.

By the way, I'm asking because I'm curious.

What do you like about him?

Is it because he's a childhood friend?

Or do you really like him as a man?

We got married today.

Do we really have to talk about this?

You hesitated.

You hesitated during the wedding vow.

Isn't that right?

You don't have to look guilty.

I'm not mad at you.

We both came this far because

we each wanted something.

Now that I married you like you wanted,

it's my turn now, right?

What's that supposed to mean?

Listen very carefully

to what I'm about to tell you.

This is an interesting secret

that I've kept since I was 12.

It all begins with this bracelet.

To tell you the truth, I...

You may find this hard to believe, but it's true.

What do you think?

But... why?

We're married now.

We're not supposed to keep

any secrets from each other.

You should rest. You said that you're tired.

My friends are waiting for me downstairs.

Good night.

Ma Jun.

I heard that you got married today.

Where's your wife?

She told me that she's tired,

so I told her to sleep.

Then are you going to hang out

with us tonight?

Yes.

What does it mean?

It means that I'll marry you.

And that could be the beginning of misery.

But if you're willing to stick with me,

I'll go all the way with this too.

Hi.

Tak Goo.

Tak Goo.

Tak Goo, wake up.

I'm back.

This is my mother.

Hi.

Hello. My name is Yang In Mok.

He's the chief at Pal Bong Bakery.

Hi. I hope Tak Goo isn't too much trouble.

Not at all.

This is his wife.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

And this is...

Nice to meet you. I'm Heo Gap Su.

Tak Goo! Why didn't you tell me

how beautiful your mother is?

I'm very happy to meet you.

Did I over react?

Where's Jae Bok?

He got a call from his family 2 days ago.

His aged mother is sick,

so he had to go and see her.

I hope she's okay.

I hope so too.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Thank you for taking Tak Goo in

and taking good care of him.

No, we're getting a lot of help from Tak Goo.

He's practically our family now.

Thank you.

Is this your room?

You should lie down, mum.

Come on.

From now on, let's stay here together.

I'll stay at the Geoseong residence

until the Chairman wakes up.

I'll come back as soon as he wakes up.

I'll come and visit you whenever I can

in the meantime.

Still, I shouldn't trouble

them by staying here.

They're like my family.

If you feel uncomfortable,

you can stay here until I leave that house.

We can find a new place for the two of us

in this area after I get back.

When did my son grow up

to be such a fine man?

Where did those years go?

It seems like I'm the only one who got old.

You haven't changed a bit.

You're quite a joker now.

I'm not joking. You haven't changed at all.

Thank you for growing up to be

such a fine young man. Thank you.

Mother.

My son...

Tak Goo. It's breakfast time.

In Mok! Move! Move!

Why are you coming down by yourself?

What about Tak Goo and his mother?

I think breakfast will have to wait.

Why?

So? You lost them?

No, your people let them go.

I'm sorry. I couldn't stop them.

I just couldn't do it.

Why?

He only wanted to see his mother.

I couldn't do it.

What?

How dare you betray me like this

after all I've done for you!

We're a bunch of good for nothings,

but we can't break a mother and her son apart.

What? So?

Are you refusing to work for me any more!

I'm sorry. Thanks for everything.

Damn...

From now on, if you have an assignment for me,

let me do it by myself.

I prefer working alone.

I'll get going now.

Are you sure Jo Jin Gu attacked you?

Yes, I'm sure.

I see. So that's what happened.

Stay low until you find

the information I need.

Mr. Han doesn't trust people.

Remember, we're doing this for Tak Goo.

In order for him to lead Geoseong,

I need to take care of this.

Do you understand me?

Yes, Sir.

Is that you, mum?

Father!

Father!

Be quiet. Close the door. Now.

What happened? When did you wake up?

Don't tell your mother.

What?

Promise me that you won't tell anyone

about this.

Father...

Just do as I say.

Then explain to me why you're doing this.

Make me understand

why you're doing this.

If you do, I'll do as you say.

Why are you doing this?

Because I want to know the truth.

Hello?

Sit down.

Is Ma Jun still sleeping?

Yes.

Ma Jun tried to find an apartment,

so I cancelled it.

I can't let him move out.

He's my only son.

Of course he should live with us.

I told the workers to redecorate.

Ma Jun's room.

Come back tonight.

His father is still sick.

I don't want you to waste time in a hotel.

Understand?

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

I have yet to approve of you

as my daughter-in-law.

If you really want to be acknowledged

as my daughter-in-law, bear a son first.

I'll think about it after then.

I'll see you tonight then.

Ma Jun!

I'll get going.

What are you doing here

so early in the morning, mum?

Wait.

Now that I'm married,

should I call you Mother now?

So, what brings you here, Mother?

What's going on? Who is she?

She's just a girl who entertained

me last night.

What?

I'm going to be late for work again.

I have to go to work.

I didn't ask for a vacation.

See you later, Mother.

Bye.

Hi, mum.

This is the room you'll be

using with Ma Jun.

You actually came.

I've got to hand it to you, Shin Yug Yeong.

Did you want to become the Geoseong

family's daughter-in-law that much?

What are you after, anyway?

Why do you think I'm after something?

Honestly speaking,

you didn't marry Ma Jun for love.

There's another reason, right?

I don't know what you

want from this family,

but since you got this far,

I hope you find it.

I don't know if that'll

make you happy, though.

How do you feel, Sir?

I feel great. I'm a strong man.

Good morning, Mr. Han Seung Jae.

Thanks to you, I met my mother.

What do you mean by that?

Come on.

Let's stop pretending not to know

what we both know.

Aren't you embarrassed?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You're an adult!

You ought to be ashamed of yourself

for acting like that as an adult.

What's really shameful is using your father

to hold an office that you don't belong.

As the Chairman's devoted worker and

your father's friend, I'm warning you.

You should give up and leave. Tak Goo.

If you don't, a lot of people will get hurt.

I'm sorry, but you can't scare me

with a threat like that.

I warned you, Tak Goo. Don't regret it later.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay. I'm angry to death.

Still, I'm trying to control my anger

because I don't want to turn out like him.

Sir!

We got a call from the Cheongsan factory.

They couldn't ship out

the promised products.

Sir!

Are you the CEO?

I'm Kim Tak Goo, and I'm in charge

of the Cheongsan factory.

I heard about what happened.

I'm really sorry.

I'll do my best so that you won't

suffer any damages.

So...

Forget it. Let's do as the contract says.

What? The contract?

The factory needs to pay 3 times what

we paid for breach of contract.

There was a clause like that?

What? Are you really the CEO?

I'm sorry.

This is our first case like this.

You can't just...

No, this isn't your first time.

This has happened several times!

Just pay us 3 times for breach of contract!

What happened?

I told you from the beginning that

this factory is hopeless!

What's all this?

These are the articles that we had

to stop from making the news.

What's going on?

I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

I'll do whatever it takes to take care of this.

Do you have a plan?

No, I don't.

Then what are you going to do?

I'm going to do whatever.

What?

I'm going to do whatever I can.

If you're the CEO,

then you should act like one.

Do you know many workers are living off

a pay check from Geoseong?

If you count their families too,

we have over 2,000~3,000 people.

The livelihood of these people rest

on your decision,

and you're just going to

do whatever you can?

How could you be so irresponsible?

How could you call yourself a CEO?

Then why don't you teach me?

What?

You can scold me like you're doing right

now and lead me in the right direction.

Why should I?

What?

It took me over 5 years to work my way up

from the bottom to get Father's approval.

But Ma Jun became the development team

manager and you became a CEO overnight

just because you're his sons.

You didn't even work to

get to where you are.

Why should I teach you?

Because you're worried about Geoseong.

You're concerned about Geoseong and

its employees, just like the Chairman.

And I'm your little brother.

Of course you should scold me when

I do something wrong.

Help me, sis.

Please?

What brings you all the way here?

I'd like a Martini.

You asked me why I like Tak Goo.

When I'm with Tak Goo,

I feel as though I'm a good person.

I feel at ease when I'm smiling with him.

I'm not ashamed even when I'm happy.

Then why did you pick me?

I didn't want Tak Goo to find out

that I'm not really a good person.

I didn't want him to see how twisted

and scarred I am.

And...

I couldn't push you away.

I saw myself in you.

You know that you're going to get hurt,

but you refuse to forgive.

I pitied you because

you're too much like me.

Are you saying that you married me

out of pity?

I don't know how far you want

to go with this, but let's do it.

I'm sure there will be an end, although no

one knows who will get hurt in the end.

I don't think it'll be over until we find out.

So let's go for it.

We'll eventually learn why we can't stop.

Shin Yug Yeong!

It was only for a moment...

But when I decided to marry you,

I wanted to be happy with you.

I mistakenly believed that

you might be sincere with me.

But you're not going to fool me twice.

Why? Because...

You're a jerk.

Hi.

Hi.

I couldn't sleep.

You must be waiting for Tak Goo.

Why aren't you sleeping?

I couldn't sleep either.

Are you waiting for Tak Goo too?

That plant is called the gold crest.

The one next to it is called scindapsus.

It grows well in water.

Really?

Tak Goo is here.

You're home.

Ta-dah!

What's this?

It's a cheesecake, of course.

She made this for you.

This cake will cheer you up. Try it.

You added regular cheese and Camembert.

Yes, and I topped it with fresh cream.

Try it.

It's good.

That's it?

It's really good.

It's just that I lost my appetite today.

Why? Is work tiring?

No, of course not. I'm fine.

By the way, ugly. You've improved a lot.

Can you please stop calling me ugly?

Guess what? He calls me ugly because you

and I have the same name.

I'm sick of hearing him say it.

She's a pretty girl.

You shouldn't call her by a name like that.

See? She's on my side too.

It's okay, mum. It's a term of endearment.

If she really looks ugly,

I wouldn't dare call her ugly.

Isn't that right, ugly?

You're still calling me ugly!

Hey, don't talk to me like that!

Stop!

Okay.

- Eat it. - Eat it.

- You should eat too. - Okay.

Eat it.

Was Ma Jun out last night too?

Yes, I think he's busy.

After all that commotion you've created

to marry each other...

By the way...

I heard that this bracelet belongs to you.

Ma Jun told me that this bracelet is yours.

He told me that he found it at the garden in

front of the workroom about 14 years ago.

He told me that it rained a lot that night.

Do you remember that?

Yug Yeong! What are you talking about?

I don't understand.

I think she perfectly

understood what I said.

Aren't you going to eat?

Your soup is getting cold.

I told you that I don't want to hurt you.

Ma Jun!

Ma Jun thinks that Grandma died

because of you.

I heard that this bracelet belongs to you.

I want to know the truth.

Father.

This is all I can tell you.

I can't tell you anything more.

You shouldn't know it either.

Don't think about what the adults are doing.

Just do your job.

And above all, take care of your brother Tak Goo.

This is Gu Jag Yeong.

Where is Kim Tak Goo?

I'm sorry. Please give us another chance.

This will never happen again.

I can give you my word.

You don't get it, do you?

It's not the breach of contract

that's the problem.

What?

That was just an excuse.

The real problem is the bread.

It doesn't taste like it used to.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

This never happened when Chairman

Gu cared about the Cheongsan factory.

Chairman, do you really think that I can

run this factory the way it used to?

Mr. Pal Bong, you always told me

to believe in myself.

Will it work this time too?

It's me. Why did you ask to see me?

Come with me to the den.

Why? What is it?

Didn't you tell me that we're the

only ones who know what happened

on the night my mother-in-law died?

What's wrong?

I think Ma Jun saw something.

He held onto my bracelet

for the last 14 years!

What?

No way...

I didn't believe it at first.

I thought he found it by chance.

I thought he was just bluffing at the time,

but I think he knows.

I think he knows what happened

on the night my mother-in-law died.

That can't be. I checked the surroundings.

Besides, Ma Jun was only 12 at the time.

Why would he be there at that hour?

Even if he saw what happened, he couldn't

have kept it to himself all these years.

It's not something a 12 year-old could do.

Then how are you going to explain

what Yug Yeong knows?

She even knows that it rained that night.

She said that Ma Jun told her everything.

What if Ma Jun really was there?

What if he saw us on the night

my mother-in-law died?

Where is Shin Yug Yeong right now?

She's upstairs, in her room.

I have to find this out myself.

Honey...

Where were you guys

on the night my mother died?

Honey.

Where were you guys

on the night my mother died?

I'll never forgive you two...

Never...
