(Block 2)

Why would Eun Su do this?

(Ms. Ji Eun Su)

Yes.

It's me.

Did you go home safely?

Yes.

What about Woo Joo?

Woo Joo is...

staying with her aunt for the night.

You must be lonely tonight.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm listening.

I thought you hung up.

Goodnight then.

Maybe he's tired.

(Lie After Lie)

(Episode 9)

(On a sunny day with Ji Min)

(On a sunny day with Ji Min)

I promise you.

Even though it may take some time,

I will open up to you with my sincere heart.

Without lies.

With all I am.

What are you talking about?

The chairwoman doesn't have a granddaughter.

That's ridiculous.

She has a granddaughter.

No, I'm serious. You made a fuss about it.

So I looked into it to see if she really has one.

But they said she's living alone.

Their family line ended with her son.

Eun Su.

Eun Su.

- Mi Jin. - Eun Su.

What? What's going on?

Eun Su.

Don't be alarmed when I tell you this.

This is about your mother-in-law, Kim Ho Ran.

She's not raising your daughter.

My goodness, I can't believe this.

She said she'd take good care of her.

But she hasn't been raising her.

Then where on earth is she right now?

I know.

I know she's not raising her.

You know?

And you're okay about it?

You should be asking about her whereabouts right now.

Ji Eun Su.

Your daughter's gone missing.

Mi Jin.

My daughter is...

Woo Joo.

Who?

Ji Min adopted her.

My goodness.

My gosh, what on earth are you talking about?

So you're saying Woo Joo is...

Then what are you doing?

You've missed your daughter so much, and she's right in front of you.

And you're not getting her back?

What would I even say to her?

That I've stayed in prison for the last 10 years?

And that's why I couldn't come earlier?

No matter how clean my conscience is,

to others, I'm just a convicted murderer.

I'd rather die before I brand her...

as a daughter of an ex-convict.

If you're afraid of that,

why are you trying to be close to her?

You can't even tell her that you're her birth mother.

Well, to be blunt,

she doesn't have a mother, so maybe you could be...

My goodness, you're crazy.

I understand where you're coming from, but how could you?

I know too.

I know I'm a terrible person to do this.

But I just wanted to be near her no matter what it takes.

(Block 2)

Her birth mother?

As you can see.

(Probability of Maternity: 99.8 percent)

What are you going to do now?

Not only are you going to lose him,

you're about to get your daughter stolen too.

But if I can give you a hand,

the story might be able to change.

I'll send you a little present.

After you receive that, it'll be up to you...

to decide.

It has been a while.

What brings you here without a call?

I'm sure you know why.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

It was you. The one who left this photo.

You're right.

So what?

Where did you get this?

Why do you want to know that? It's not going to change the facts.

Why don't you ask me a different question?

"Who is this woman?"

Isn't that why you came all the way here?

In that case, I'll answer that question.

Yes, she's Woo Joo's birth mother.

I saw the DNA test result.

If you can't believe me, you can request the test yourself.

Do you finally get it?

She approached you with a plan.

She played around with you to live with her daughter.

Don't you dare talk about her that way.

What?

I understand what your intention was in giving me this photo,

but don't dream of threatening her with something like this.

Why are you covering for her?

I'm sure you understood. I'll get going.

I'm warning you.

Don't mess with her.

Is that all you came to say?

She's using you!

She deceived you when she doesn't even love you!

Yes, she's Woo Joo's birth mother.

She approached you with a plan.

Hello.

I'm here to turn in the application for the designer job.

(Resume: Ji Eun Su)

Who is it?

You'll hurt your hand. I'll do it now.

Exactly. Do you know how much these hands are worth?

If I could, I want to give you a new house...

instead of a new door lock, but I can't, can I?

So just let me do this. I'm doing it for the peace of my mind.

It doesn't feel safe to leave you here all alone.

All done.

Thank you, always.

You don't have to thank me.

Don't thank me for anything that I give you. You deserve it.

Anyway, Eun Su.

Yes?

She's using you!

She deceived you when doesn't even love you!

Nothing. It's nothing.

I'll get going.

What was that?

- You're leaving? - Bye.

Would you like to come over to my place for dinner tonight?

Sounds great. I'll see you later.

(Block 2)

This is my way of repaying you the pork belly barbecue.

- Ta-da. - Thank you for the food!

- Woo Joo, eat up. - Okay.

- You too, Ji Min. - Sure.

- Woo Joo, let me serve some. - Okay.

- It's hot. - All right.

Ji Min, let me serve you some too.

It's hot. Be careful.

Enjoy.

You got something here.

- Is it good? - Yes.

He would've found out the truth by now.

He would know why Ji Eun Su approached him.

How did you find him?

It was quite a journey to find your son.

You moved from a hospital to another to keep him totally hidden.

I'm guessing you already know how dangerous your behavior is.

You.

Don't you dare lay a finger on my son.

If your son was that dear to you,

you should've listened to me.

Did you forget?

Your son could stay alive because you got rid of Eun Su's daughter.

It's your karma that came back to haunt you.

- Get rid of him. - No.

No, my son.

Please. Please!

Your call cannot be connected.

You will be redirected to voice mail.

Please leave your message...

Please let him live.

That's not the answer I'm looking for.

Please just let my son live.

I'll do anything as I'm told. Anything!

I'm not asking for much.

I'm saying it's not too late...

to finish a job you haven't completed.

I never want to see...

Eun Su and that girl together.

Can you...

do me that favor?

Yes, Chairwoman Kim.

Yes.

I will.

Please.

Take good care of him...

until Mr. Yoon gets there.

Hello?

Gosh, I'm so nervous.

My turn.

- My gosh. - Oh, no.

It's your turn again.

Which one should I pick?

Dad, I won again.

Good job.

What are you doing here?

It's worn out, isn't it?

What?

Right.

Because it's very old.

Woo Joo was covered...

in this blanket when she was adopted.

Actually, Woo Joo...

was adopted.

I guess her birth mother...

abandoned her in this blanket.

I want to get her a new blanket,

but she wouldn't listen to me.

She says she can sleep well only with this blanket.

It really upsets me and breaks my heart.

What kind of parent...

could possibly abandon a precious girl like her?

What are you doing in here?

Well, I was just talking to Ms. Ji.

Come on out.

I found the movie I want to watch with her.

Okay. Let's go.

Come here.

Don't you dare talk about her that way.

I had a lot of fun today.

By the way, what if Woo Joo doesn't want us to date?

I'm sure Woo Joo will be happy if it's you.

Okay. I can't ask for more then.

What am I looking at now?

Gosh.

My goodness.

Are you serious about this?

You should've taken more pictures.

So are you saying she's the woman Ji Min is dating?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I saw her when I went there to get him some side dishes.

Really?

The woman said this to Ji Min.

"What if Woo Joo doesn't want us to date?"

Then he said,

"I'm sure Woo Joo will be happy if it's you."

That's what I heard.

Gosh, that's great.

My goodness. Thank you so much.

That's my son.

- His day has finally come. - My gosh.

Oh, wait. I shouldn't be doing this right now.

- Wait. - Why?

Where are you going?

I should go ask him about this woman.

I knew it. Do you not know anything about Ji Min?

If you make a fuss like that,

Ji Min will just keep his mouth shut.

He's right, Mom.

Let me take care of this.

I'll look into it.

I'm in trouble.

You walk me home every time,

so I think of you whenever I walk on this street.

Why are you staring at me like that?

I just think you love me a lot.

Of course I do.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have come this far.

Then we should go a little further.

What?

Let me change your clothes.

Let me do it.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to do this.

Wait.

What's wrong?

For a second,

I wanted to test you.

It wasn't fair.

I thought maybe...

you don't really love me.

Why would you think that?

Who is this baby?

You told me before...

that you lost your daughter.

Is this...

your daughter?

It's okay.

I can help you.

Just tell me honestly.

Is this baby...

your daughter?

So it's a yes.

Eun Su.

This baby is...

Woo Joo.

Eun Su.

You didn't know, did you?

If you say you didn't, I'll believe you.

I will believe you.

Yes.

I knew.

I knew Woo Joo was my daughter.

So what you're saying is...

that you deliberately approached me.

Why?

To be near Woo Joo,

I had to gain your trust.

No matter what it takes,

I wanted to be near my daughter.

Then...

the cherry blossom festival,

the market, and the convenience store.

You planned everything?

And I was stupid enough to fall for your lies.

I was stupid enough to fall for you.

It's not your fault.

It's all my fault.

This isn't just about me.

How...

How dare you try to fool my daughter as well?

Why would you try to be with her after abandoning her?

That's not it. I can explain everything.

I'll tell you why I couldn't raise her.

I'll tell you how this happened.

I can explain everything.

No.

I can't believe a word coming out of your mouth.

No matter what the reason may have been,

you've chosen the worst way to become her mother.

You're frightening and terrible.

Ji Min. Ji Min, please.

Don't you...

Don't you ever come near us again.

I've tried to be nice to you.

And this is where it ends.

I like you.

Ji Min.

I've fallen for you.

I know what you're afraid of.

I'm scared too.

But I want to stop hiding behind my fears.

To be near Woo Joo,

I had to gain your trust.

No matter what it takes,

I wanted to be near my daughter.

It took shorter than I expected.

Have a seat.

It's strange.

Whenever you come to see me,

it always thrills me.

Because I know I hit you in your sore spot.

It was you, wasn't it?

You never disappoint me.

This is why I always loved you.

You were always bolder than Gi Bum.

You're bold even now.

You did such a horrendous thing,

and yet, you're bold enough to be brazen in front of me.

Then what?

Did you expect me to kneel down in front of you?

You should be.

You should've begged me for mercy back then and you should be now.

Come to think of it, you're such a stubborn brat.

If you had listened to me when I told you to give up hope,

this wouldn't have happened.

What are you going to do now?

The whole world knows your plan now.

Don't you worry about me.

No matter...

how hard you try to take my daughter away from me,

that will never happen.

How will you stop me?

Do you think he will ever want to see you again?

Why do you ask?

Are you afraid he might want to?

You watch me. I'll show you.

You stole my right to be her mother.

But I'm going to get it back.

Tell Mr. Yoon that he's done a good job.

People don't change easily.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Don't trust Mr. Yoon.

Ms. Ji.

Why did you do that?

Ms. Ji, it's not like that.

Why didn't you let me live quietly with my daughter?

Why did you do that?

I had no other choice.

You can't talk like that.

I'm sorry.

I had forgotten for a moment...

that the one who tried to throw my daughter in water was...

none other than you.

That the one who worked as Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's minion...

to destroy my life was...

no one else other than you.

I hope I will...

never have to see you again until the day I die.

(My Dear Woo Joo)

(My Dear Woo Joo)

Woo Joo.

Teacher, you really can't come anymore?

What?

My dad said...

you're too busy to tutor me.

No, right? You'll keep coming to see me, right?

- Hello? - What's wrong, Dad?

I was talking to my teacher...

Hello?

Woo Joo.

You shouldn't call her from now on.

Why not?

She won't come here anymore.

If you keep pestering her,

it'll be troublesome for her.

So from now on,

don't call her again,

and stop seeing her. Okay?

How dare you try to fool my daughter as well?

Why would you try to be with her after abandoning her?

No matter what the reason may have been,

you've chosen the worst way to become her mother.

You're frightening and terrible.

Ji Min. Ji Min, please.

Don't...

Don't ever let us see you again.

This is the last bit of kindness...

I can show you.

Woo Joo, I'm sorry. I'm late, aren't I?

Did I keep you waiting?

I'm sorry.

Do you want some ice cream?

Woo Joo.

This is a new product. Do you want to give it a try?

Doesn't it smell good?

You can keep it.

It's okay, Aunt Ji Kyung.

Then you can give it to someone as a present.

May I do that?

Of course.

Why? Is there someone you want to give it to?

Yes.

Who?

My art tutor.

Your tutor?

By any chance,

is she your tutor?

- Woo Joo's tutor? - Woo Joo's tutor?

Yes.

And the three of them went camping together too.

- They went camping? - Are you serious?

That's not the only place they went together.

She was also...

What is it?

At their house.

My goodness. What's going on?

So? And?

They invited her home, and the three of them had dinner.

It's game over.

What's wrong with you? That really hurt.

- It's not a dream. - No, it's not.

It's not a dream!

My goodness.

I hoped my son's heart could be filled with the spring breeze,

but it seems like his heart is on fire...

like the scorching sun in summer.

- Wait. One second. - What?

Is there a way for us to meet that tutor?

I told you not to let us see you again.

I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

So?

Do you want me to forgive you?

No.

I didn't come to ask for forgiveness.

I was hoping to help your broken heart mend.

Yes, I was...

dying to become my daughter's mom once again.

That's why I did anything and everything.

But...

not every single moment...

we spent together was lies.

I mean that.

I must have looked very naive to you.

Did you think...

I'd be shaken again if you told me that?

Go.

She was taken from me.

I didn't abandon her.

If I had,

I couldn't have appeared before my daughter again.

Then...

why did you sit around for the last 10 years?

Why?

Do you have nothing to say to counter that?

(My Dear Woo Joo)

(My Dear Woo Joo)

(My Dear Woo Joo)

Don't even dream of becoming Woo Joo's mom at this point.

You may have given birth to her,

but you don't qualify as her mom.

Ji Min...

I heard...

you've been looking into Kim Hyang Gi, the writer.

- Yes. - Why?

It's just strange.

We know nothing about the artist.

But Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran is buying...

the little-known artist's paintings at expensive prices.

Hang on.

Do you think it's money laundering?

We can't rule out the possibility of it...

Hey! How dare you say that about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran?

Do you not know what she's like?

She's the most respected CEO in the country.

Do you know how much is the donation she made last year?

Why do you try to get on her case every time?

You owe her big time after all.

What do you mean?

What?

Darn it. I'm not supposed to tell him about it.

The thing is...

It's her who sent you abroad as a correspondent 10 years ago.

What? What are you talking about?

I was surprised to hear that too.

Anyway, you are on her good side.

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

I heard it from the director.

Who's going to interview Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran today?

- Me. - I'm doing it for you.

- Where's Hyun Bin? - Over there.

Make sure to thank her.

All the proceeds of the Environment Care Children Art Contest...

will be donated for environmental activities.

Starting with this contest, we are planning to expand...

our environmental campaigns every year.

If you don't have more questions, we will wrap things up here.

May I ask you a personal question?

Sure.

Why did you sponsor me?

Did I?

I was told that you sent me abroad...

as a correspondent 10 years ago.

Thanks to you, I had a great time there.

But I can't help but wonder why you picked me.

Well, back then,

I was having a hard time after losing my son.

It made me care more about people around me.

That's when I started providing volunteer works...

and sponsoring a lot of talented people.

I believe you were one of the talented people.

This is it for today.

Please, Chairwoman Kim.

Thank you.

What are you thinking so deeply about?

What?

I was thinking about a case I was working on 10 years ago.

What is it?

The murder case of Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's son.

Oh, right.

You were sent abroad while you were looking into the case.

I was.

And it happened to be Kim Ho Ran who sent me abroad.

I'll see you later.

Ji Min, where are you going?

I checked the visitors' book of the prison where Ji Eun Su served in.

Reporter Kang Ji Min from earlier was the one from 10 years ago.

Things are getting interesting.

So it means Eun Su's daughter...

was adopted by the reporter from back then?

(Intelligence Team, Violence Team)

Detective Kwon.

Look who's here.

Mr. Kang.

I haven't seen you since you moved to the culture desk.

Are you back in the Current Affairs Team?

I just love my daughter too much to go back there.

I'd never get to see my daughter working in the Current Affairs Team.

You haven't changed at all. You're such a loving dad.

So what are you doing here?

About the murder case of Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's son.

I stopped working on the case a long time ago.

But there's something that bothers me.

What about it? The case was closed 10 years ago.

Even if it bothers you, there's nothing you can do.

That's why I'm here to ask you for help.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to meet...

the culprit of the case.

The culprit of the case?

You mean her daughter-in-law?

(Sender: Kang Ji Min)

How are you feeling?

How do you feel about getting caught after playing with Ji Min's heart?

I never imagined...

that you'd be Woo Joo's birth mother.

I knew it.

I thought you were getting ahead of yourself.

I just hope you won't make a bigger mistake.

You'd never want Woo Joo...

to find out about this.

Now that you just barged in on me like that,

I guess you've found a way to comply with my request.

I'm here...

to tell you that I can't comply with your request.

What?

Ji Eun Su and her daughter.

Please stop trying to separate them.

And please stop putting a tail on Ji Eun Su.

Otherwise, you'll end up getting hurt.

Are you threatening me now?

Why? Did you record my voice or something?

And yet, there's no way you can bring me down.

It's not me but you who killed Eun Su's daughter.

You did all that to pay your son's hospital bills.

I knew you would put all the blame on me like that.

So I prepared something you can never get away with.

Go ahead and listen to it.

It's not your voice.

What do you think it is...

that's recorded in this?

Aren't you curious?

(Ji Min)

(Ji Min)

The phone is turned off. You will be charged after the tone.

So?

Is this enough...

for you to change your tone with me?

Why?

Why do you always think that you're the one who's holding all the cards?

Do you have any evidence?

I've been digging up dirt on you.

And guess what?

I found something very interesting about you.

Now,

we both have something to protect.

Hello?

- Reporter Kang Ji Min? - This is he.

I need to report something about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

Who is this?

We really need to meet up.

I believe you can help Ji Eun Su.

How is Eun Su involved with her?

I'll tell you everything when we meet.

Okay. Let's meet.

I will call you on this number after work.

All right.

I can never trust you, Kim Ho Ran.

Mr. Hwang.

You have to bring me something.

The phone is turned off. You will be charged after the tone.

Press one to leave a message.

Transferring to voicemail.

It's me.

I'm at the cafe in front of your house.

(Official Press Conference of "Afternoon Walks")

I'm the director of "Afternoon Walks", Kim Jung Kwon.

Thank you for coming to the official press conference.

First, let me introduce my leading actors to you.

(You've got a voicemail from Ms. Ji Eun Su.)

(Director Kim Jung Kwon, Kim Kang Ho, Lee Su Rin)

(Ji Min)

Dad.

I'm exhausted.

Hello?

Why are you doing this?

Are you trying to fool me?

I said I don't want to see you again.

Did you think I was joking?

I know, Ms. Ji.

I know how disappointed you must be right now.

But just trust me and give me some time.

Then I will reveal the truth...

and tell you everything.

No.

If you want me to trust you,

you need to tell me the truth right now.

Where are you?

(Press the button to listen to Ms. Ji Eun Su's voicemail.)

First message.

It's me. I'm at the cafe in front of your house.

I came here to tell you everything that's happened.

I'll be waiting for you.

What brings you here?

I should ask you the same question.

Is this a coincidence?

Or are you approaching me as if this is a coincidence?

I'm here to see someone.

Why were you waiting for me?

You asked me...

why I didn't appear in front of Woo Joo for the last 10 years.

It's because...

I couldn't.

What do you mean?

For the last 10 years,

I was...

in a prison...

Are you okay?

(10 years ago)

Please take care of it.

(Lie After Lie)

You did this, didn't you?

Come to think of it, someone always gets hurt wherever you go.

Do you think your daughter will be okay?

How about giving me my granddaughter back?

Her name is Woo Joo, isn't it?

Shut your mouth!

Don't worry. Woo Joo will come back to me.

I don't want to see Woo Joo get hurt because of you.

I don't have to be Woo Joo's mother.

Please just let me stay near her.

Or at least let me see her from time to time.

That man, Yoon Sang Kyu.

He worked for Chairwoman Kim as her secretary.

He was her secretary?

And he wanted to report something to me?

How did you know Mr. Yoon?

Why do you think he told me to help you?

How did things get this far?

What did Mr. Yoon have on her?

What on earth are you trying to hide?

I guess you are actually hiding something.

I know everything.

I just want to protect my daughter.

Then I will help you. I'm on your side.

Detective Kwon, could you send me the information about the suspect?
