Original subtitles

That was fun, let's come back again soon.

Nina. Yujin.

I'm here.

I'm here. Help.

Speak up.

Nina.

Yujin. Louder.

Are they okay?

Shut up and stay quiet. That's all I'm asking. The daughter of the chairman has

gone and his son is dead.

Some lives are worth more than others.

No.

The chairman will only help us if he feels sorry for us. Understand?

Tell her you won't do it. Say no.

Ho Gye-joo!

Ho Gye-joo!

Ho

Gye

-joo! Is that... Seohyun? Ho Gye-joo!

You've always been there for me.

You saw me when no one else did.

You protected me when I was in danger.

Even though I was silent, even when I didn't make a sound, you

still heard me when no one else did.

Only you.

I like you.

So, why couldn't I tell you that I,

I also...

Hey, Ju.

Are you alright?

You see me?

I'll be back.

I'll go grab the doctor.

I'll stay.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's alright.

You're okay.

You're safe now.

She fell off a cliff? Yes, during the spokesperson's corporate retreat.

She fell off the cliffside when they were hiking.

Who? One of the sign language interpreters for the presidential

office. I haven't gotten her name yet. Security won't tell me. What kind of

retreat was this?

Were they drinking or what?

Some real team building there.

Damn it.

This will be a feeding frenzy with the media. I don't think drinking was

involved. That goddamn idiot.

He's just making matters worse. He should be helping us.

A fall off a cliff. We can't afford even the slightest mistake. What a disaster.

Uh, sir, what if... What if she didn't fall just by accident?

Tell me more.

Remember, the presidential spokesperson isn't just anyone.

Peck sounds fatherless. Peck Ouyang, the presidential candidate.

There is a way we could make this look like a political attack

Go prepare the script

Oh

Gotta make sure I'm camera ready I

Spoke I spoke in front of him

have already known.

406, listen to me carefully.

I put a first aid kit in Heju's backpack.

I hope Heju can find it and use it.

Do you think she will, 406?

It was like... like he was pretending to talk to 406 when he was really talking

to me.

He's not dumb.

He must have known.

But why hasn't he said anything?

Stand right here, hold these handles on the side, and rest your chin here.

Is it because I was injured?

And as soon as I'm out of the hospital... I filed for divorce, Hong

Yijun. Or should I say, 406.

Seeing as you're clearly at fault, you'll have to pay the penalty fee.

And to think... I fell for all your lies.

I can't believe I could be so naive.

Get out of my sight.

I never want to see you again.

I said that I liked you.

Now I hate you.

Ma'am, please hold still. We're taking the scan now.

Wait. Where's the kidnapper's phone?

Ma'am, I need you to hold still.

What about the cameras?

Nothing. We checked all the CCTV footage from the entrance to the summit.

We didn't see anyone suspicious.

And there's no footage anywhere of the actual accident.

Any witnesses?

We're doing a deep dive into it. However, the area was very crowded and

chaotic.

How's Hong Hizhou? Is she any better?

They're running some tests on her, and it doesn't seem like she's suffered any

major injuries, thankfully.

Good. I'm glad.

She'll still need to give the police a statement.

Not yet. Don't tell them she's awake.

I'll get her statement.

You are keeping her identity strictly confidential, right? Yes, sir.

It's strange.

Why would he go after Hong Heizhu?

He was after me.

He missed his shot.

Oh, did you happen to look into what I gave you?

Oh, yes, we have.

And? What have you found?

Well, the malware we uncovered during the voice modulation investigation was

indeed installed for surveillance.

What? It's a program called RCS.

The malware remotely controls cell phones, laptops, computers, and can

monitor locations.

Is that how he knew we'd be at the mountain?

By tracking our location?

But if we can hack the code and trace its IP address... We could track his

location instead.

How much time do you need? Three days at most. We'll do it as fast as possible.

Good, I appreciate it.

It seems we're closing in.

He'll be ours.

Thanks, I'll take it from here.

Why so quiet all of a sudden?

What happened to that voice?

Just like that, back to silence?

I like that.

Feeling the beat of your heart.

It's alright.

I've found out.

I know more than you think I do.

I knew you could speak.

There's a lot I know about you, Hiju.

In fact... 406.

He told me where to find you.

He might have been the one who pushed you.

But he also helped me find you.

So now I'm torn.

Do I find him and turn him in to the police?

Or do I forgive and forget?

See that?

That's precisely what you need, Hiju.

You need to rest.

Although there's so much... I'm tempted to ask you.

I won't get into it now, so just get some rest.

For now.

But... What about work?

It's fine. You'll be on sick leave.

Don't worry.

Just focus on getting better.

I have to go out for a bit.

I'm afraid your phone was shattered in the fall.

So, use this one for now.

Call me right away if there's anything you need.

Okay?

Is that clear?

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

Didn't find it?

I had originally wanted to use this phone to escape from you.

Ina was the one both you and your family wanted. Hong Yi Zhu.

She's basically a stand-in and a puppet. You didn't marry her out of love,

remember? And your feelings haven't changed.

But it turns out this phone was the only thing that connected us. Don't you dare

call her a consolation prize. She's a complete universe.

What she really wanted was sincerity.

Honesty.

Understanding. Affection.

Those kinds of things.

Necklines? I don't see any necklines.

I've been noticing them more lately.

I want your best work.

Ma'am, have you seen her yet? Your daughter?

Huh?

My daughter's here?

So what's the occasion?

You've never come here before when I've asked you to.

Actually, there's something I've been wanting to ask you.

It seems Sion is much more into you lately.

Am I way off base?

Didn't my little gift kick things up a notch?

Hey, dude, don't be like that.

You gotta admit I know what I'm talking about. You owe me, right?

The woman is the one who makes the mail.

You!

When did you... It's been a while.

How are you?

Hi, on my way to the office.

Actually, Mr. Peck, there's something you have to see.

Right away.

What happened?

I'm beyond devastated.

Words cannot do justice to the grief I'm feeling.

I may be running for president, yes.

But even more than that, I have a duty as father to my beloved son. Yes.

So you're saying that the fall that occurred during the retreat hosted by

your son, Pek Saon, was not an accident, but that it was done out of political

motivation? That's right.

I didn't believe it at first either.

But there is just no way such a fall could have occurred by accident. From

what we've been told, the one who fell wasn't the presidential spokesperson

himself, correct? I'm so grateful it wasn't him, yes.

Uh, I mean, yes, it is indeed a horrific tragedy.

For the victim, of course.

I pray for a speedy recovery.

But it is vital that we remain focused.

I am requesting...

A thorough investigation into that day on that cliff to determine whether or

not this was an intentional attack originally meant for my son and which

unfortunately resulted in this calamity.

We can't officially say if this was an accident or not.

We're still gathering information, so please hold off on any speculation.

No, we're still investigating as to whether or not it was an accident.

No, no, no, no, that's just Mr. Peck-O-Young's opinion. It's not based

off of any... Someone fell off a cliff and this is what you care about?

This is a matter of life and death!

Wait, no, no, I wasn't saying they actually died.

Hello? What?

Mr. Beck?

From now on, you're only allowed to say three things.

Commit them to memory.

One, we're still investigating. Two, we don't have an official stance yet.

Three, a press release will go out tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Shouldn't we have it today, like right now? We have to collect as much

information as we can. If we're unprepared, it'll just cause

speculation. We'll only speak on what we can verify.

We'll decide her position today.

So then, what should we do?

Right now, Mr. Kang, I want you to make sure that the victim's identity is kept

hidden. Send out a notice to the other departments to make sure they do the

same, okay? Sir?

Forgive me, but... We might not have worked with Ms. Ong Hee-choo for a

while, but we care about her.

And you expect us to just keep quiet with no explanation as to why? That's

hardly fair.

Everyone here is worried about her too, you know.

Can't we at least know if she's okay?

If she's awake yet?

How badly is she injured?

She's awake.

They expect her to make a full recovery.

I know you're all worried, so please forgive me.

Okay, thank you.

But what about everything Pei Kuyang said before? I mean, what was that?

I'm sorry.

I'll take care of it.

So tell me, how long have you been here? When did you get the surgery and when

did you start talking?

Oh, come on, take a breath.

You haven't seen me in three years and you haven't asked me how I've been?

Your father cared about that sentimental stuff.

What's your plan?

Don't pop a vessel.

I haven't come to steal back my place as the president's daughter-in-law. As if

you could even if you tried.

He jewished my daughter and I raised her well.

After all you did hear what I said earlier, she and Sion have been married

for three years, so she has him wrapped around her finger.

You really think so?

And what about when she finds out the truth?

About?

Don't be coy.

You're the one who clued me into Sion the day before the wedding.

I know you're the one who sent it to me.

Hoping you could scare me off, get me to run.

I have no idea what you're saying.

You were sent something before the wedding?

It wasn't you.

I don't care about any of this.

I'm not going to sit here and rehash the past with you.

If you're not here to interfere, then please just keep your distance.

Don't stress your father out with this. He's got the election to think of.

I'm not interfering in anything.

I came back for Heejoo.

I want to help her.

None of it would matter if her marriage had stayed strictly business, but...

That's not the case, is it?

So what?

She deserves to know the truth.

After that, what she does is her business.

And you say you're not interfering.

Tell me, what do you even know about Scion?

Hold on.

What does that mean, exactly?

You mean there's more.

Sympathy from the public is growing as we speak. As predicted, your

constituents are showing their support as well.

However, the position of the presidential spokesperson isn't clear.

Perhaps you should speak to him so you two can align on the matter.

I know.

He hasn't even reached out, not once. Why is he keeping me in the dark?

Look who it is. The presidential spokesperson.

So, how are you doing?

You're not hurt, are you?

No.

I'm not hurt thanks to your press conference.

Those tears of yours soothe me.

I've laid the groundwork. Now it's up to you, son.

You'd better get on board.

Maybe the one who needs to keep on track here is you, not me.

You might want to quit now, or I could easily turn this on you. Turn it on me?

You?

Really?

All I can offer is this sincere advice.

Stop.

Do not interfere with my life.

You ungrateful little prick!

Peksaun. You listen to me.

Even your name isn't yours.

Peck Jang-ho's grandson, Peck Wee-yong's son.

Who do you have to thank for those titles?

No son of mine will eat that type of food.

Have this.

No son of mine will wear that style of clothing. Wear this.

No son of mine will read those books. Read these instead.

Did I ever ask you for that?

What? The name.

The titles.

I never asked you for any of that.

Stop using them as leverage.

Or I swear I'll throw them all away.

Who is the employee anyway? Who fell?

Are you sure you know them?

That they're not some political agent said to bring down the family?

She is family.

What?

Who are you talking about?

One of the sign language interpreters for the presidential office.

The sign language interpreter?

It can't be.

You brought her into the presidential office?

You wouldn't be so insane?

Why not?

Or does it bother you that much?

And she made it in there.

Before you could.

Oh, my... Any response yet from

Pexan?

Nothing's been released yet.

Nobody even knows the identity of the victim yet, right? Right.

Any chance you've spoken to Heeju yet?

I messaged her, but haven't heard back.

You could have been hurt.

You coming?

According to the register, the mansion owner is a man named John Jinsuk. Gives

us something.

That's right.

I also looked him up once.

Did you two talk?

No. He wasn't living at the address listed on the registration.

And I wasn't about to hire a private investigator, so... Based on what we've

learned so far, John Jinsuk is very behind on his property and income taxes,

as you can see here.

But they've got to be on that. No one can be that behind on taxes.

He is.

And they're after him.

Well, I told the National Tax Service that we're investigating missing

children cold cases and that we need to track him down for a specific case.

They've agreed to share information as soon as they find him. Really?

Wow, excellent work.

Looks like we're making progress, right?

Mr. Han, are you saying you're interested in this case?

I believe you originally wanted to toss it.

Oh, well, that was before I knew about the situation with the twins.

Did you ask any of your old friends from the orphanage?

Any information on the younger twin?

Mm-hmm. I'll let you know.

Could it really have been him?

How did he know where to find me?

I'm heading over now.

Do you need anything?

No.

You don't want anything to eat?

Nothing spicy.

Then how about some fried chicken?

Nothing greasy.

Something sweet, then.

Nothing sugary, either.

Well, if I can't have anything, why even ask me what I want?

Is this a trick?

Since you wanted something sweet, I brought fruit.

But you haven't, uh, even rinsed these off.

Are you saying I should rinse them myself?

By the way, when did you go to their house?

Right before I came here, I was going there to pick up some stuff for myself.

But you needed this?

Some of this is for the caregiver. They'll be staying in the hospital as

well. It's not just for you. You're going to stay here overnight?

Don't act so shocked at the idea.

We already shared a room last night.

Where in here did he sleep?

Where's he gonna sleep tonight?

On the couch?

On there?

No way.

In there?

Is he taking a shower?

Really?

No, no, no, no, no. Relax. It's fine.

What do I do?

Okay, your turn.

What?

How's the water?

Not too hot?

Don't they ask about things like that at the salon?

Is the water okay?

It's fine.

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

What?

Am I pulling too hard?

No.

It's just strange.

Strange how?

Why are you so nice to me now?

Am I?

Don't husbands normally do this for their wives?

I felt guilty that I haven't been very helpful to you.

Finished.

Get some sleep.

What's wrong with me?

The doctor said I was okay.

Wait, does he know I'm not asleep?

You're awake?

Then I'll help you sleep.

Will I, though, be able to sleep?

All right, this is it, everyone.

It took me a while to remember, but I finally did.

And it looked something like this.

Paradise followers, this is important.

If any of you...

knows anything at all about a ring with a dragon engraving on it, please let me

know. Please let me know.

Where did he go?

Don't wait up. I'm expecting a phone call. A phone call?

I never thought this day would come.

I never thought I'd be excited for you to call.

Have you been waiting by the phone?

What are you so excited about?

Well, I found Hong Hee Joo because of the things you said.

Don't you want to know how I knew?

Where to find her?

You see, the truth is... Let me say this first.

The truth is, I actually know a lot about you.

What do you know?

I know you're in your mid to late twenties, and you're a woman.

Correct?

How did you know?

Are you pretty?

Why should it matter whether or not I'm pretty or what I look like?

Oh, it doesn't. I just have a feeling.

You're disgusting.

Did you seriously just laugh?

Why? What if I did?

Why are you laughing?

Well, now that we're back to our usual business, you and I, it feels

comforting, familiar.

So, I'm happy. Did you just say happy?

Hong Hee Joo nearly died that day.

Help me imagine you better.

Can I know what you're wearing?

What I'm wearing?

You pervert.

Based on your voice, I picture you are pretty slim, considering how you talk to

me.

I also imagine a hot... What? A hot body?

That can't be what he means, can it?

Why don't I just leave it there?

Sometimes.

Well, things are best left to the imagination.

Wait.

What do you think you're doing? Don't tell me you're... flirting with me right

now on the phone.

Aren't you married, man?

What's the big deal?

Ong Heeju's asleep right now.

The scumbag.

What is it?

Am I moving too fast? Shall we take it slow?

Or is this too overwhelming?

Now, I've got something to propose to you.

Propose?

What is it?

How about we... catch him together?

I know you're not the one who pushed her off the cliff, 406.

Because you told me where she was.

You helped me find her.

The day... she fell off the cliff.

Ho-Yoo-Joo!

That he would suffer.

Far more than I suffered. No.

Far more than she suffered.

I will make him pay.

If you have information that could help me find him, you have to tell me.

Anything about him. Every detail.

There you are.

Okay, is this for real?

This is really straight from the presidential spokesperson?

Yes, like I said. All right, we're live in five, people. You ready to go now?

Yeah.

What the hell is this?

This can't be real.

Wow, what a complete disaster.

I know.

I just want to rip that bastard to shreds. If I see him, I'm stabbing him

right in the back. Men who cheat on their wives should have their junk cut

off with scissors. They should be thrown in cages like dogs. That poor girl. That

would be too good for them.

They deserve a lot worse.

Do you think they'll get caught?

Oh, no.

No woman deserves that.

How can they get away with that?

Baby. What?

What do you think you're doing?

Aren't you a married man?

What's the big deal?

I'll need you to sleep right now. No, baby, please, wait.

She saw them!

Finally! Hey! Wake up, baby! Hey! This is my IV. Baby!

Good afternoon, everyone.

Whoa, breaking news. We interrupt this program with some breaking news.

The presidential office has just released an official statement regarding

the incident at a corporate retreat hosted by the presidential spokesperson,

at which an attendee fell off a cliff. The presidential office has stated that

this was not an accident, but a criminal act of deliberate malfeasance.

A criminal act? The target of this incident was intended to be... Baek Sa

-eun, presidential spokesperson.

Baek has informed the police that he has been subjected to continuous blackmail

and multiple death threats for the past two weeks. He shares in a theory that

the fall was not accidental, but was originally intended to cause him bodily

harm. He has additionally stated that he does not consider the incident to be

politically motivated, either against him as the presidential spokesperson or

as the son of presidential candidate Baek Woo-young, who is running for the

Liberty and Justice Party.

While Pixown has urged the public to refrain from jumping to baseless

conclusions, he has nevertheless requested personal protection, as well

as the public release of the composite sketch of the suspect.

The composite sketch, go.

The following image is the police's official sketch of the top suspect,

believed to be at the helm of the threats against spokesperson Pixown, as

well as the bombing of his office.

406, I need you to answer my questions.

Did you see his face at all?

The kidnapper?

I couldn't make out his whole face.

There was one thing, though.

The suspect is a man rumored to be in his early to mid-thirties.

Roughly six feet tall, medium build. He does possess one unique trait in that

one of his eyes is dark, while the other seems to be a light brown.

Good. Go on, what else?

He also smelled really weird, like fishy. When he got upset, he'd stammer

like he was nervous.

Or like he was angry. The suspect is reported to have signs...

One more thing, if I may please.

Yes? Why didn't you tell anyone sooner?

Well, I wanted to handle this matter on my own.

But clearly that was a bad idea.

Do you have any theories as to who it could be?

Someone who might have a vendetta against you.

No.

But one thing is for certain. I don't know how, but he has a lot of

information on me.

Information?

He found my office's address.

He knew the details of my team-building retreat.

He somehow knew things.

I've only ever told my family.

My theory is he got this information from someone I know.

He used the word us.

Us? Yeah.

Ah, I like you.

Because you have the same goal as us.

He can't stand being looked down upon. He's prone to anger. He snaps at the

drop of a hat. To be honest, it doesn't make sense. Someone who's that unhinged

could be able to blackmail you and hack into a car.

So you mean he's got an accomplice? Yes.

Yes, I'm sure.

We have to catch both that guy and his accomplice

The suspect is a man, rumored to be in his early to mid-thirties.

Roughly six feet tall, medium build. He does possess one unique trait in that

one of his eyes is dark while the other seems to be a light brown.

Hey!

What happened to getting on board?

Is it your mission in life to destroy everything? You jumped on this

opportunity pretty quickly, didn't you?

If you're so upset, why not stay out of it in the first place?

You used it for political gain.

If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have had to call you out.

Go on, tell me I'm wrong.

You little shit, you think you can talk to me like that? Enough!

For Pete's sake.

Why keep this from us till now?

The blackmailer's real target wasn't ever me, it was HeJu.

No one outside of our family knows that she's my wife, right?

So?

What's your point? That we're responsible?

What would we possibly have to gain from blackmailing you?

This family wouldn't want anything about your marriage to get out. We'd all make

sure to keep it quiet.

What were you thinking?

Letting her work in the president's office?

Because she'd be safest by my side.

This way I can keep an eye on her.

Seems like you've been getting some feelings for her. Does the blackmailer

know anything about you?

Or about your marriage?

As far as I know, that's all. But who knows, he might know a lot more.

However, that being said, you do have other secrets.

Hong Yijing.

He could be the one behind this.

He's never trusted us.

What if he's defected from our side and this is some act of revenge?

Funny you should mention him. He's asked to see me. Should I go ask him if he's

defected against you?

You're the one who pushed her, but I'm the one plastered all over the news?

Why did you try to kill Hong Hee-Joo, huh?

I thought we were after Paek Sun!

So? But a Hong-Hee-Joo isn't dead.

So what now?

We're done for.

And especially me!

Why didn't you tell me this sooner?

You dropped this on me with no warning?

I'll admit, I suspected you at first.

Me?

Why in the world would I do this?

You always hated that.

I never let you control me.

Don't pretend you wouldn't push me off a cliff.

If it meant getting me to do what you want.

So you've got it all figured out.

Then why did you behave like a spoiled brat today?

You know how to keep the public interest at bay.

A master media manipulator.

So why get the public involved at all? This involves the entire family.

Not just you.

You should have come to your father or me first.

I should leave.

Good night, sir.

Tell me the truth.

You wouldn't behave like that in public without a plan.

You used one of the oldest tricks in the book.

One issue to distract from another by stepping into the spotlight you've

pulled all the focus to yourself So tell me what you've been hiding

Hey sis, seen the news?

You told them what I looked like, didn't you?

Here's the thing, sis.

It wasn't me.

I'm not the one who pushed you.

I don't believe you.

I know you won't believe me.

It's fine.

I just need my phone back.

I'm coming. Open the door.

Oh, Heejoo!

Heejoo!

Heejoo!

What's wrong?

What is it?

You okay?

Yes. Are you alright?

The scammer you wanted me to look into earlier.

Was that him?

Yeah. Look, you could have talked to me about it.

Listen,

man, I know you can be crazy.

But I've never known you to be this nuts. Not since... Since what? You leapt

feet first into a freaking war zone. A camera on your back, bullets flying

everywhere. Come on, Saron.

Stop while you can, okay?

You know I can't stop now.

It's much too late for me what I'm not hiding from this

I have to face it

Feeling better

Yeah, I'm fine.

So what happened?

What scared you?

You seem tired.

I am.

Try to get some sleep.

I'll try to sleep as well.

Aren't you scared?

No, why?

Are you?

Want the light on?

I keep hearing everyone talk about you.

They're saying all sorts of things.

It doesn't bother you?

No.

I'm not scared and I don't regret it.

So you can relax.

Try to get some sleep, okay?

I want to tell you that you were the place where I quietly stayed

I saw you on the news.

There's a... something I need to ask.

What is it?

When are you thinking you're going to catch me?

I did technically work alongside the kidnapper in a way, so I imagine I'll

face consequences as an accomplice or something.

And when are you coming to get this phone?

It's evidence, isn't it? I think it'd be important.

If I told you it was important.

Would you let me have it?

I guess I should.

To help you find him.

How am I supposed to get it anyway?

Is the idea... That we'd meet up in person?

Let's do that.

So tomorrow we... We'll meet up for the phone.

What will your face look like when you see me?

Will knowing the truth just make things worse for you?

I wanted to put it off, make an excuse.

I was scared of facing you as 406.

And I wanted to avoid that moment for as long as possible.

But...

I won't avoid it any longer.

I can't let you struggle with this alone.

Where... Where are you right now?

There's a place I have in mind for us to meet at.

Mm-hmm.

Why did you want to meet here?

Have you ever been here before?

Yes, I came here on its inaugural day.

After that

day, theme parks became a taboo subject in my family.

Would you like to take a ride?

Ina, look at the horses!

I'm right here.

Where are you?

At the ice cream stand.

I've been waiting.

Are we meeting here or not?

Look straight ahead.

What do you see?

Namsan Tower?

Okay, I'm here.

There's no one up here.

What is this?

What are you doing?

I'm gathering my courage.

I've been waiting a long time for this moment.

I want it to be perfect.

Don't get your hopes up.

Once you see me, you'll find yourself wishing you hadn't.

Where's that confidence gone?

What about you? You don't think I'll be a letdown?

That I'll not live up to your expectations or that I'll disappoint

you?

What if you end up feeling even worse than you did before?

Are you saying you're worried about me?

No.

That's not what I'm worried about.

I'm worried about myself.

About how I'll feel when I see you.

So, how do I break that bad habit of yours, Eju?

I know it's been hard.

Everything you've done so far, 406.

You... You've known all along.

The whole time, I mean.

Then how come you never... Never what?

Don't you hate me now?

How could I hate you?

Hong Hee Jo.

How can I hate you when I'm in love with you?

How could I be when I can't stop loving you?

Your tender lies gonna make me cry tonight

Fall like a down when the shades

are fading out

he's

I just find it so hard to believe that two of us are out on a date just like

any other normal couple.

Can you do the same for me?

Even after you learn the truth about me?

I'll take everything from him.

What does this guy have against you? Why put on such a show?

What are you doing?

Do you know who it is?

I don't care about the case.

What bothers me so much is you.

Don't hide anything, okay?

I want to know everything.

Could this be real?

Would it really be this easy?
