Divorce Shi Wol...

and forfeit your parental rights over Ji Min.

If you do that,

I'll forgive you.

Kwang Il,

stop making life so hard for yourself.

Live comfortably.

Why are you doing this to me?

You took Yangji from me,

and now, my wife and child.

Do you want to give everything I have to Yoo Wol?

It was all his...

to begin with.

Everything was originally Yoo Wol's.

You're not losing them.

You're returning them.

What about me?

Am I nothing to this family?

I'm just trying...

to put everything where it belongs.

Don't be too cynical.

Then...

where do I belong?

I need to know, so I can go back as well.

Whether they're being taken away or returned,

I won't accept it.

I'm sorry, Grandfather.

Goodness.

Call Yoo Wol.

Tell him I will never forfeit my parental rights over Ji Min.

I may divorce you, but not Ji Min.

He's my son.

Ji Min said he'd live with me regardless of who his dad is.

But I can't live with you,

so what do you want Ji Min to do?

We can't live like this forever.

Please, let's stop.

I don't want to fight with you anymore.

Please, let's stop. Please!

Kwang Il, you're so thick-skinned.

How could you show up here?

Father, don't tell us you forgave him.

Be quiet, and eat.

Okay.

I heard there was a loach fiasco...

at the Tturu Tturu shop that opened yesterday.

Who did such a heinous thing at someone's sacred place of business?

Right?

They still haven't caught the person?

My heart still races...

when I think about what happened.

I heard the person brought a box of loaches...

to Auntie, Yoo Wol, and Shi Wol,

saying they were rice cakes made for the grand opening.

It must be someone who has a grudge against the three of you.

Someone who has a grudge against the three of you.

Who could that be?

I have my suspicions, but no proof.

Just eat.

Anyway,

I feel like the loach soup is missing a lot of loaches.

Did you cook it right?

Are you saying I swiped the loaches or something?

We said to make soup, not broth.

There's hardly any loaches here.

What did you do with all those loaches?

Don't tell me...

- Ji Eun. - What?

Stop talking nonsense so early in the morning,

and stuff your face.

What did you...

just say to me?

Stop it. Ji Eun.

Have some shame.

Do you really think I'd do something that immature?

How dare you accuse me?

What are you talking about?

It's nothing.

Behave in front of your elders.

Fight in your own time.

Did you think over...

what I said?

I'd like an answer within the day.

That's what I think.

I'd like to know what you think.

Of course.

Should we go together while we're at it?

Ji Min's off from school today because it's their anniversary.

Yes, I think that would be best.

But you know...

Yes?

What will you do about her?

How will you let that woman have her way?

Get rid of her.

She...

isn't well.

Of course, she isn't.

But it's too painful to see her face every morning like this.

Shi Wol will go with us today.

If you hesitate any longer, everything will be a mess.

With both Kwang Il's matter and your matter,

let's get rid of what we must.

What did you and Mother talk about?

It's none of your business.

I'll go to work now.

Okay.

I'll go too.

See you tomorrow.

Don't come.

Don't come here anymore.

I have no intention of accepting you as my mother-in-law.

Mother.

Don't call me "Mother"!

I'm not your mother.

I hope we never see each other again from tomorrow.

Now, go.

What was that all about?

If I'm not her daughter-in-law, who is?

What did you say earlier, punk?

You must think I'm nice because I seem nice.

You're mistaken.

I'm not like Shi Wol, who you can't tell...

whether she's actually nice or pretending to be.

How dare you tell me to stuff my face?

It was you, right?

The freakshow who released the loaches.

So why did you tell me to make loach soup?

Should I sprinkle salt on you...

and throw you into a pot of boiling water too?

I was being nice because your life stinks,

but this won't do.

Do you know who I am?

And who are you?

The Gangnam Pepper.

I was notorious in Gangnam when I was in high school.

I was pretty and wealthy,

but I had a hot temper like a chili pepper.

Everyone was so afraid of me.

You look more like a carrot than a pepper.

A carrot, which you grind up and drink for breakfast.

What?

I was the Myeongdong Moray Eel.

I was quite famous in Myeongdong when I was in high school too.

I was pretty and smart,

but I had a violent temper like a moray eel,

so everyone was so afraid of me.

Violent?

You look like a soft catfish. How were you violent?

That's a snailfish.

A moray eel is not a snailfish.

I'll explain since people get confused all the time.

Real moray eels are combative and violent.

If you reach out your hand,

it'll bite your hand, so be careful...

unless you want to be eaten alive.

Hey! Snailfish, Moray eel, whatever. Stop right there!

What do you take me for?

Just wait and see.

I won't forgive you.

You'll go with us, right?

I'll go another time.

- Go with Yoo Wol and Ji Min... - There's no need.

If you hesitate,

those jerks will always get their way.

Don't crack the door open for evil jerks.

They'll always try to push their way in.

And you should act confident from now on.

Why won't you answer me?

I'll do that.

I can never forgive Tae Joon and Im Mi Ran.

They haven't been caught yet,

and their children...

are still causing us pain.

So don't blame yourself for anything...

or pity them.

Understood?

Understood.

This is your son.

He's the chairman of Yangji Group now.

Then is Grandpa here...

Mr. Oh's dad?

He is.

Sorry I'm here so late.

Coming here...

with you, Ji Min, and Mother...

feels like a dream.

All my wishes came true all at once,

so it doesn't seem real.

Same for me too.

Now that I can see the finish line,

I feel like I can hang in there.

The finish line?

The end of my revenge.

I want to end it soon...

and start over with you.

But Yoo Wol,

about Kwang Il and Duk Shil...

Shi Wol.

We promised...

that the three of us would live together.

So don't go soft.

Whether those two threaten us or try to buy our pity,

we just have to go our own way.

I won't be a victim anymore.

That's true,

but you're Yangji Group's chairman. All eyes are on you.

If we live together,

people within the company and just people in society...

will judge us.

I know.

I don't care.

We got through much worse.

We can handle that much with no problem.

Three years is all I need.

Three years?

Yes.

After I set Yangji straight within three years,

I'll live freely with you and Ji Min.

What about Yangji?

It'll do fine without me.

How?

Lend me your ear.

I'll explain how I plan...

to change Yangji.

Ji Min.

Yes?

How long will you call him "Mr. Oh"?

Are you embarrassed?

Not particularly, but...

Then...

will Mr. Oh and Mommy live together now?

Don't you think they should?

Then...

is she going...

to divorce Daddy?

I think she'll have to.

Ji Min.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

What would you like us to do?

I'm fine as long as Mommy is happy.

I don't care what happens to me.

Shi Wol is so lucky...

to have a son like you.

So that's why...

she had built an arboretum.

To put Suk kyu's grave there.

Why...

did you stop me back then?

What do you mean?

Suk Kyu.

If you weren't so against us...

Once again, it was me...

I'd like to step out for a bit.

What? Where are you going?

My nephew came for a short visit from the US.

Your nephew?

Yes. So I wanted to have dinner with him.

Sure, go ahead.

Thank you.

Are you that happy that your nephew's here?

Yes, I am.

I know he's like a child to you,

but I just can't understand you.

Then don't try to understand me.

There are countless things in life that can't be understood.

No need to try so hard to understand me.

It'll only give you a headache.

How could you say that?

You and I...

have shared so much time together.

Still.

Okay, you may go.

- Yes. - You missed him so much.

Enjoy your time with him.

I will.

They say "ignorance is bliss."

I hope...

you never find out.

I said to go.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Gosh.

Both Jung Hee and Ms. Yang...

Women are impossible to understand.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes.

What's gotten into you? You never go out.

I'm going to see my nephew.

Nephew... The one who lives in the US?

Yes. See you later.

See you.

Father! It's me, Sook Hee.

What? You were just here for breakfast.

Why are you back?

Why else?

I came to see my father.

Silly.

I heard Ms. Yang's nephew is here from the US.

That's right.

Father,

do you know anything about that nephew?

Not much.

Just that he has three kids...

and is doing well in the US.

Why do you ask?

I was just curious.

Why do you care about someone else's nephew?

You're such a curious cat.

You're right.

It's because I don't know whether he's someone else's nephew...

or my little brother.

What?

He told Kwang Il to step down as president of Logis?

Yes.

Why those...

The board said they'd remove him...

if Mr. Choi doesn't step down voluntarily.

But more important...

What?

I'm a fugitive as well,

so it'll be hard to meet up like this.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You're on the run because of me.

Okay. But...

the ship's coming as planned, right?

Yes. But...

there are so many variables.

Then? Are you saying it may not come?

No, sir.

We'll do whatever it takes to get it here.

I'll contact you as soon as I hear from them.

Got it.

Okay, then. Please take care of yourself until then.

You too. Take care.

Yes, sir. One more thing.

Here.

What's this?

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

So? Did you think it over?

Yes.

Will you step down on your own?

I'm not stupid. Why would I step down on my own?

Fire me if you want.

But you'll be cursed out if you fire me.

There's a lot of people who pity me.

Is that right?

Then I'll be cursed out.

Also, since I'll be cursed out anyway,

I should file for a paternity suit.

A paternity suit?

That's right.

If we prove that Ji Min is my biological child,

I can put him in my family registry, from what I hear.

What?

I just found out myself.

The parental rights and biological parentage...

are different.

You may go.

I have nothing else to say to you.

I said to get out.

You're mistaken if you think I'll let you have your way.

I will not be magnanimous...

toward you or your father.

A paternity suit?

Then Ji Min will become your son?

Don't make me laugh.

Father.

I heard.

They're trying to remove you as president.

Where are you?

It's best you don't know.

Look, you can't back down.

Where are you right now?

I'm somewhere safe, and I'm doing well,

so don't worry.

Do you mean it?

That's right.

Listen to me.

How can I fight it when the board wants to fire me?

It's all over.

It's not over yet!

Even if you give up on everything else,

you can't give up on Logis.

I founded it for you.

So do whatever it takes to protect it.

If you don't,

I would've wasted my entire life.

Do whatever it takes...

to protect Logis.

Father.

I feel like everything is finally settled.

Is it because Yoo Wol is chairman?

Right?

I've lost my direction now. I don't know what to chase.

Reassignments are almost done, but there's no news of a promotion.

Not for me.

What? Why not?

I have to catch a loach that is swimming around polluting the river.

A loach? And who's that?

Duk Shil.

Ji Eun. What if you go crazy too?

That woman's a basket case.

That's why I said I'll deal with her.

I think I'm the only one in our family...

who can put her in her place.

That's right. She's totally right.

Life is just way too easy for our men.

There are so many problems surrounding us,

but that's what you're thinking?

My gosh.

What should we do, then?

There's something I've forgotten about.

What? What is it?

Ms. Yang.

What about Ms. Yang?

Her nephew finally came from the US.

Her nephew?

You know I'm a pro and sensing things.

I get a sense this time too.

In a bad way.

No way.

I think that nephew is...

Do you mean...

Father?

Oh my gosh.

Then are there still more shocking news left?

There may be.

Which gets me to my point. Min Jae.

Yes?

You have a job to do.

You're right.

I feel like I've finally found my direction again.

Since I know what my calling is.

I'll be in charge of Grandfather.

You and I are always on the same wavelength.

I'll prepare the Ziploc bags again.

Then I'll be in charge of getting the test run again.

That's right. How about a family cheer?

- Okay! - Good.

Gather round. Okay. Min Jae.

- Ji Eun. - Mother.

Honey.

Okay. Let's go, Smart Family.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Yes! We're smart.

How long do you plan to stay here?

Are you uncomfortable having me around?

Are you kidding me?

I'm equally as uncomfortable.

Then why are you here?

I told you.

Mr. Hwang told me to live here after his death.

Why did he say that?

He asked me to drive out the evil energy within you.

Why did he say that?

Do you want to try meditating?

What?

If you meditate when you are down and filled with anguish,

it helps a great deal.

Forget it.

Knock yourself out.

Hi, there.

Hello.

Let's chat.

What happened?

Tell him to leave.

I hate living with him.

Then you can move out.

What?

I'll find you a place to leave,

so please, move out of my house.

I feel like I'm being punished.

It's all Mr. Hwang's fault.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

When he was alive, he imprisoned me and made me guard his money,

and now, he wants me to guard you.

He's such an evil old man.

He is.

Anyway, did the doctor really say Duk Shil is fine?

Yes. We ran every test out there,

but he says she's fine.

Goodness.

Anyway, my mother,

Shi Wol, Ji Min and I went...

to my father's grave in the arboretum.

I had never even seen him before.

It felt odd.

I see.

You should've come too.

It was your family. Why would I go with you?

True, you go often, don't you?

Mother told me.

I simply stop by...

whenever I got to the arboretum, that's all.

Still.

Mother is very grateful.

I'll resolve the Duk Shil matter somehow,

so please be patient.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

The reason you want me to live here...

It couldn't be...

What's this?

It's your father's picture.

It's the only remaining...

picture of him.

You keep it now.

So you're my father.

Are you studying?

Yes.

I heard you didn't have school because it was their anniversary.

What did you do?

What did you do?

Well...

Why can't you tell me?

Daddy.

Yes?

Even if I can't live with you anymore...

because you and Mommy get a divorce,

I'm still your son.

So don't be too sad.

Mr. Oh is also my dad,

and so are you.

I have two dads, that's all.

So don't fight because of me.

I'll remain your son. Nothing will change that.

I hope you become happy, Daddy.

Mommy too. And Mr. Oh.

That's the only way I can become happy.

Okay, I'll do that.

Divorce Shi Wol...

and forfeit your parental rights over Ji Min.

If you do that,

I'll forgive you.

I will do as you say.

I'll divorce Shi Wol...

and forfeit parental rights over Ji Min.

Okay.

Good thinking.

That's great.

But I have a favor to ask.

Please let me stay on as president of Logis.

If you do that for me,

I'll give up my parental rights over Ji Min.
