Did you already know?

And don't you care?

If something... Should happen to me soon... And

if the Pexun you've known so far... Completely vanishes from this world...

Just remember this.

There's only one peck zone I want the world to remember.

That's the one who belongs to you, Hong Hee-joo.

I know I don't have the right to interfere.

I just don't want you to be fooled anymore.

I didn't marry Sa-an, so Mom made you do it.

But if his family has been deceiving us since the beginning, you don't have to

stay, you know.

I'll find out what the Peck family is keeping secret.

And if I have to, I'll go to Sa on myself.

It was my decision.

It's not because our mother forced me to stand in as his wife.

That's not it at all. I'm choosing to be his wife.

He, too.

And there are many people out there with secrets.

I've lied to him about a lot of things, too.

Like me being able to talk.

Your voice, it's very different.

It's pretty.

I never told you this, but when we were little kids, I liked how you

would say my name.

I never liked your mom, and suddenly having a sister was very weird.

But then, when you said my name with that adorable voice,

I understood you were my new little sister.

And I was so thrilled.

This document.

How did you get it?

I'm not sure.

There's no name on it.

It wasn't your mother or a father.

But one thing I do know.

Someone knew that I wasn't going to marry Saan if I saw this.

And I know they didn't want the marriage to take place.

What are you doing here?

We gotta get out of here.

He's after you.

You gotta go now.

No.

Let's go. Come on.

I need to report a missing person.

Missing? Yeah, it's my husband. I can't reach him and he hasn't come home.

And how long has he been missing?

Six hours.

Is it possible that he's just running late? Just so you know, he hasn't been

gone long enough to file a missing person report. So what then?

Adults over 18 without a medical history don't qualify as missing as they are

considered runaways, unless there's a suspicion of a crime. But my husband's

been blackmailed. Isn't that proof of a crime? Can I file now?

Blackmail? That's right. By a complete mental case, he's capable of so much. He

set places on fire, planted bombs, and even pushed people off cliffs, too.

Blackmail, arson, bombing, and attempted murder?

Just who is your husband?

Ma'am?

I need you and your husband's name, please.

I wonder what his real name is.

Not only his real name, but how he wound up with that life.

I remember our first meeting.

He was only 15, and I'd never seen him before.

So yeah, it was definitely strange that Pak Wee Young had a son who was two

years older.

But I'd never seen him even though we lived next door.

So now I'm understanding exactly why his parents were treating him like a

stranger.

There wasn't any warmth at all.

You think they're real sons out there?

So if the Paxon we know became their son at 15 years old, then who was the Paxon

before him, and why did they hide him?

Where are you here this late?

Are you alone?

Where is he?

Call them now.

He hasn't come home and isn't picking up his phone.

Wait, you can speak?

Mr. Min.

Mr. Paichenghou doted on his grandson.

Everyone knew that.

But if that's true, why was his beloved grandson hidden until he was 15 years

old?

Was it because he wasn't allowed in public for some reason?

And he brought an imposter out instead?

That's ridiculous!

So, I've been his wife for three years now, and I only recently learned

that my husband is not your real son. How dare you say that?

You seem to be confused.

You are not his real wife.

You're just a stand-in.

Although you're right about one thing, he's also a stand-in.

Kyuujin! That could be true, but he's different from me.

He's really important to you, right?

And you can't lose him, isn't that also right?

So you need to find out what has happened to him immediately.

Got it, thanks.

There have been no reports involving Mr. Sauen yet.

Did you hear that?

Go home and wait.

Okay.

Sauen is, of course, very important to us, and we can't afford to lose him.

Which means we won't sit around and do nothing.

When did that girl start speaking?

You knew about that?

Wait.

So, about the blackmailer.

How much does Mr. San know about him?

How much does he know?

Just what he told the police.

Did he talk about the eyes to them?

What's... What's this all about?

His father had eye surgery when he was only just a young man.

It was a big secret.

Thanks to the procedure, his eyes are now the same color.

Tell me, sis, do you really think you know this guy?

Listen.

I know Sauron.

Better than anyone else in the world.

When he first came to this house, Mr. Sauron was like a scared stray cat.

I've never seen him relaxed here, and he never smiled.

I've always felt bad for him.

He's always been troubled.

Is he in surgery?

Mm-hmm. For two hours now.

How badly is he hurt? Tell me everything.

I hate you. Let's take a seat and calm down. Oh, no.

I... What

is this? Tell me what's going on.

Mr. John Jane Suck.

I came to ask a few questions.

You a cop?

My name's Ji Sang Woo.

I work on a TV show.

We're doing a story on the missing children of Sinil Child Care Center.

Hello there.

Ms. Min told me that you were able to find Jeon Jin-suk.

What'd you find?

Well, I didn't learn too much.

As soon as I brought up the case, he cut me off. It's as if he's in trouble.

Mr. Peck!

Mr. Drummond!

Come on!

I don't know how the fire started, I don't know who said it, or why Mr. Peck

was even there.

Or what's happening between the two of you.

I'm completely clueless.

Oh yeah.

And it was impossible to ignore that his phone was ringing non-stop.

I appreciate it.

Also, I apologize.

I kept so many secrets.

How'd it go?

Well, we won't know for sure.

Once he wakes up, we'll know more.

Thank you.

It must have hurt.

I bet you were scared.

I bet you were lonely.

Whenever I was scared, or in pain, or lonely, I know that you were watching

over me.

You were always there.

But that poor girl...

She had no one.

Not a single person.

I wanted to help Heejoo escape.

She deserved to get out.

And live her life freely.

If you talk to Heejoo, tell her don't worry.

Please.

Tell her.

I'm coming to get her.

Heejoo.

Tell me how I could be angry with you.

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

It's my turn now.

It's my turn to keep you safe.

So please, wake up for me.

Okay, here you go.

For you.

So... You find anything else out about that childcare center?

For our PV show?

Why are you putting on all this pressure?

What? Because it's way too stressful.

I don't even have an appetite. Why'd you buy all this right now? It's good.

Here. To wash it down.

Come on.

Shoot. You can tell me.

Well... Maybe you want to research it yourself.

Me?

Oh, take your time. Have a drink.

It's who, what, when, where, also, why, and how.

I'll give you a hint.

A hint?

Go.

You're twins! Paige!

Pixar?

That's news to me.

How did you know?

So this is it, huh?

The last time, you'll be the one causing issues.

Hey, Dad.

That old man returned.

Who's the boy with him? I told you never to call me Dad.

Sleep here for the night.

And don't come outside.

Got it?

I warned you.

Stay inside.

The thing about monsters is sometimes they're created.

Others are born like that.

You see, I had the terrible luck to have someone like that born in my life.

It started almost innocently with goldfish and cats.

Then it progressed to kids younger than him.

So many black bags, all of them filled with dead things, and they wouldn't stop

coming.

But everything's better now.

That's because he'll wind up in one of those bags as well Also,

I can replace him I

can pick whomever I want as my grandson So kid now

do you understand why I never gave you a name?

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Heejoo... Yeah, I'm... I'm here.

I'll go find the doctor.

You spoke, and then you told me it

was okay.

You are okay now.

I'll find the doctor.

Oh, hi.

He woke up just now.

Oh, yeah?

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

You can't be.

My father owns this place.

I've taken steps to keep things discreet so you're able to heal.

and get the best treatment.

So where's... the guy I was with?

Is he alive?

So let me ask something.

How do you know Mr. Jang Jin-suk?

He's the one who raised me.

It used to go by Jang Sung-hoon.

I spent years searching, not knowing he changed his name.

He brought you up.

My life... It's very complicated.

Is Hee-joo part of this complication?

Hiju is my only guardian and family.

There's nothing inappropriate about our relationship.

There's no need to worry.

In that case, why are you keeping her hidden?

Why should I expose her to the public?

My complex personal life will soon be out in the open.

People are going to judge and point fingers.

Do you really want her dragged into all that?

Thank you so much.

I've had the wrong impression of you all this time.

I'm sorry.

Would you do me a favor?

Sure, name it.

Please do everything you can to help him regain consciousness.

He's a key witness for us in the orphanage case.

He provided an important tip.

A tip?

He said he's still alive.

He means the criminal.

The blackmailer who's still threatening my life.

Wait, it's the same guy?

I thought he was dead, but... I guess he's still alive somehow.

Cameras are set up, sir.

And, uh, they're still wondering if your son is available to be here. We're just

about ready to begin.

What do you think?

My apologies.

No word yet?

No.

But there aren't any incident reports either.

Appreciate the update.

Have you investigated what I asked?

I've been keeping an eye on Professor Shim.

But nothing strange so far.

You still at work?

Will you be late? You said you'd be home early. You're not picking up. You busy?

Why haven't you called me back?

It's after 11. What's taking you so long?

You're still not picking up.

Where are you? Is everything okay?

You've never done this before.

You've never stayed out without calling me first. You've always made it home, no

matter how late.

I'll see you at home.

I'll be home early.

Why aren't you home yet?

What's happening?

I need to check your blood pressure.

So, um, is my guardian still out front?

No, there's nobody there.

Where are you?

I had these blue crabs delivered fresh from Sausan earlier today.

Spicy blue crab stew is my wife's favorite, and I make it for her from

time to time.

Okay, then.

Shall we take a look at these crabs and find out how fresh they are?

Good.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, my.

It's still alive.

Check it out.

Well, it's not easy to prepare live crabs, as you know.

My dear, see, this is how hard I work for you every time.

Sir, you make blue crab stew for your wife.

What about your son's spokesperson, Peck Sound?

What's the menu for him? My son.

Yes, sir.

What's his favorite thing to eat?

he loves fish just like his old man when it comes to fish he's not picky he loves

it all now of

course you're disappointed that my son couldn't be here today so I invited a

special guest I know you'll be happy

My daughter-in-law welcome darling

Wait, what?

You shouldn't be out of the hospital. Why are you here?

Give it to me.

Don't you see?

You shouldn't have lied.

I know it all.

You're not Peksaon, are you?

And I know who the real one is.

You're worse than I am.

Your lies were so much crueler than mine were.

And for a longer time as well.

I was completely clueless.

I sided with that man who was trying to get you and helped him blackmail you in

order to ruin and hurt you.

We don't know what his next move is.

I can't stand here and do nothing anymore.

Iju... Please listen to me!

Hear me out.

I want to take care of you.

So you'll never suffer again.

And you won't get hurt again.

You know what?

You could get hurt if you stay with me. You could be in more danger.

But I'm still asking you to stay. I don't want you to leave.

You're my whole life.

You're the reason I'm alive today. You're the one who kept me going.

Now listen.

Even though I'm not who you thought I was, please stay with me.

And you stayed right by my side, even when you thought I couldn't speak.

Then when you found out I could, and when you learned I was the blackmailer.

I'm so happy to finally know the real you.

To be honest,

I'm so sorry it took me this long.

You know about this?

No, ma'am.

But it seems like the two of them arranged this in advance.

So she can speak.

And she can hear.

News to me.

Thank you.

Here's something I always wondered.

Which one of you does San take after?

To be honest, I don't see a resemblance at all.

Not to either one of you.

Well, come on.

We'd love that.

We'd love it. Yes, please. That would be fantastic.

Actually, I'd like to ask you something, sir.

To my knowledge...

You've never attended any events in public with Mr. Paxon since your

wedding. Why is that exactly?

Because the guy I knew before we got married, and the one I came to know

after... were totally different, so...

Excuse me?

What do you mean, different?

This is who I thought Pak-san was before we were married.

But I quickly found out... Their boy is...

Hey,

Ina.

This is why drinking during the day is bad. You can't handle your booze.

Mr. Peck, this just arrived for you. Wonderful!

Now, the Wando Island abalone has arrived. They are huge and really fresh.

Well, open it. Of course.

What the hell?

Who is it?

It says Dr. Ji Sang-woo, ma'am.

Hey,

Sang-woo!

Slow down.

Are you okay?

Huh?

What's this?

What'd you do?

I hurt myself a little.

No, that's not a little.

What about this?

And that, too.

It's complicated.

Can you close your eyes for me?

What for?

Okay, you're good.

You had one camel eye. I had what? Or a giraffe.

Come on.

That's the best you've got?

You could have made another choice.

Like a peacock is better.

That's a good point.

We'll say peacock then.

Stop. Stop it.

I'm more concerned about this, that, and these.

So, what happened?

Like I said, it's complicated.

Yeah?

Complicated? Okay, let's move.

Right now.

So there was a small accident. It was a fire.

A fire?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry about that. Don't worry about it.

On the bright side, could be worse. I was lucky.

How did this fire start and why?

I'm sorry.

It's private.

Something very personal to someone, so I can't share.

I don't want to keep secrets either, however... Listen.

This case... It's too much.

The bosses are pressuring us to drop the story.

Someone's trying to cover it up.

It certainly has been a great experience.

Don't show my face.

I never agreed to it.

Hold on.

Wait a sec.

So what's going on?

What's going on?

I came here to ask you the same question.

Do you need anything?

Will you stay with me until I'm asleep?

I'm right here.

Whenever I close my eyes, I have nightmares.

I keep having them about the fire.

I'm curious.

How'd you know where I was?

Pass me my phone.

When'd you do that?

It was right after the fall.

I was worried.

Will you put it on mine as well?

Just to be safe.

Heeju, listen to me.

If you never hear from me again, and you can't

figure out where I am, don't look for me.

Promise me that.

No way.

Just wait.

I will find you.

No need to panic.

Now that I'm aware who he is, I'll handle it.

So what do you think he wants now?

Do you think he wants his name back?

Or his status?

I'm not sure what he wants.

I know what I want most.

To stop living as Paxiln.

And to start a new life.

Are you and me happy?

Go to sleep.

I hope you don't have nightmares tonight.

I'll be right here.

I want to tell you

So I have good news.

Mr. Zhang Shenghan woke up, and of course, he's been asking for you.

I'm glad you're okay.

Please know that I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have let him live.

Finish it.

Yes, sir.

Of course.

Boy almost died.

And I took pity on him.

He'd lost all his memories.

And he seemed very docile. I thought it'd be okay if I kept him secluded.

But his true nature... didn't change.

I was a complete stranger.

But you took care of me.

But you felt the same way about him, right?

Where are the bags?

The black ones that you received?

That you got rid of?

Please help me.

I'm going to find them.

expose that man.

He's in the hospital?

Yep. Looks like he's been injured.

He says he'll still attend the event today.

I don't know.

So what happened?

Is he badly injured?

I told you I don't know.

I think we should all stop by.

Should we? For support.

Do you actually believe that he wants to see us?

But which hospital is it?

You know.

Who, me? Come on. You, you, you know enough of that who, me crap. We know

you're definitely withholding information from us. We know it.

But no worries.

I have an idea on how we find out which hospital he's at.

Is this all really necessary?

Agreed. You know I can hear you.

Here you go.

Thanks.

The Nuri Dream Center director told me something.

She said that one time you were singing to a baby, a song to stop it from

crying, when you volunteered there back in college.

Oh, yeah.

I remember that.

Please forgive me.

I wasn't aware. It's fine.

I can hear your voice now, so, you know, it's much better.

Peksan, both of us are now- No need to explain.

At first, I was surprised, though.

And worried, yeah.

Although now I'm sure.

He's good for you.

He's protecting you.

He's not hiding you.

I'm the number one target for many reasons.

You might say that I'm the official human shield of the government.

I prefer to keep my wife safe and away from all that craziness.

So yes.

She's my weakness.

Are you almost ready?

I'll get it.

Do you know how?

Well, not really.

Here.

Hold both ends.

Now cross them.

Then bring it around and pull it through

Like

this?

That's it

You ready for today's event?

Good to go.

So, are you safe enough?

I'll be fine, thanks.

You have to stay with the team and be careful.

You got that?

Don't worry, I'm good.

Just be careful.

Hi, all good?

We just arrived.

Wait, you're here?

I thought you were going to have it delivered.

That would have been a touch impersonal, don't you think?

We wanted to bring it ourselves.

We're here with the latest draft of your speech and some coffee as well.

Speech?

Here you go.

Coffee? Here.

Are you feeling any better?

Thanks, I'm fine.

I'll catch up with you. I could step inside for a second.

Actually, I was about to get discharged.

Go on without me.

You're the boss, sir. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Don't forget, I'm seeing the event today, so we should probably rehearse.

After you've finished reviewing the speech, we can... Mr. Kang.

Yeah? It's just us two.

We'll be fine without practice.

Of course.

We can read each other's minds, right?

The dream team, a great duo, the ultimate pair.

Mr. Park Dojae.

Sir, may I have a second?

Oh, I see.

Sure, if your mom says yes. Of course, let's do it.

There's a place to sit. Oh, this one's fantastic. I love it.

Okay, really nice work.

Thank you. Here you go. Thanks.

Okay, careful.

That's great. Thanks.

Yeah, right over there.

You ready, Ms.

Hong Hee Joo?

The interpreter?

Yes, sir.

You look a bit nervous.

I won't let you down.

I've been dreaming of this moment for a long time now.

Me too.

I also can't wait.

It'll be a special moment.

When we stand together.

Greetings, respected citizens and distinguished guests.

I'm the spokesperson for the office of the president, Peck Salem.

All right, Heejoo.

She's doing great out there.

See that?

She's our ace.

She's nailing it.

My daughter.

Look at her.

Son-in-law, too.

We are in a climate crisis era.

I sincerely hope that this event will provide an opportunity for open and

impactful discourse, which will allow us to address these challenges and rise

above. I firmly believe a better future is within reach, but we have to continue

with our efforts.

Thank you very much.

Are you busy?

I am, yeah.

Oh, you're so obnoxious.

About the Sinhal Child Care Center case. I went through everything, but there's

no evidence.

You believe that?

That's why you called?

Well, there is one thing.

Did you know there was a twin?

One of the missing.

A twin?

Yeah, that's what I discovered.

So if you can find his family, you can find his twin brother.

And then?

One reason they were unable to solve this case was that the kids were all

orphans without families. But if you find that brother... He can testify as a

witness. That's right.

Hey, if you find something, I get an exclusive.

Deal?

way up north you'll find them there i've always known

one day i would have to pay for all that i have done

Mr. Peck requested that I take you back to the office right away.

Great work on the speech.

Mm.

Hello? Me again.

So the cops granted access to the database of the families of the missing.

I researched, looking through a few decades, for twins who were at the

center. So?

So I got some info on the younger twin, however... It's better to send

it. You can see for yourself.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

Please leave a message after speak.

You just

hear me out

You can never stop me anymore You

just hear me

out

He's you!

Your name and former identity.

Do you want it? Can I have Hong Ki Joo too?

At what point did everything go wrong?

Park Soo Jin!

Come to the memorial hall right now.

Something bad's going down.

Baek Se On.

This time I'm gonna kill her.

Say goodbye to your wife.

Don't come.

I want to protect you too.

Even if it's only one time.

I love you.
