All language subtitles for SKY Castle E18

Ye-seo.

Listen to me carefully.

You got perfect scores

on your final exam,

but you didn't do it on your own.

Coach Kim made it happen.

Yes, I know that.

I could get perfect scores
thanks to the questions she gave me.

-Are we good now?
-The exam questions...

were leaked.

What do you mean?

The exam questions were leaked?

Yes.

If you want to help U-ju,

you'll have to be okay
with having your grades revoked,

and you should mentally
prepare yourself to either leave

or be expelled from your school.

I know

how ridiculous this situation is

and how wrong this is.

I know all that.

But you see, Ye-seo,

I can never give up on your life.

Whether people point fingers
or hurl stones at me,

and even if U-ju's mom
beats me up, I'll put up with it.

So don't worry about anything
and just study, please.

That woman, Kim Ju-yeong,

killed Hye-na?

-Honey.
-Where's her office?

Where is it?

I asked you where it is!

Right.

It wouldn't be bad
if Jun-sang threatened her once.

It'll teach her to behave herself.

Why?

Are you still confused?

I keep questioning myself
if we really have to go this far.

-What's this?
-A gift for you.

BANPO-DONG, SEOCHO-GU

Honey, wait! Honey!

Did you kill her?

Are you trying to kill her?

Do you want to kill her?

I heard you killed Hye-na.

Why did you kill her? Why?

Stop it immediately.

She's struggling to adjust!

Are you trying to act like a father
for a change?

What? What did you just say?

You abandoned her all these years,
and now you're grieving?

You crazy bitch!

Honey.

When you thought
she was someone else's child,

you didn't care whether she died or not.

Are you having regrets now
that you know she's your daughter?

Why did you kill her?

Why did you kill that poor kid?

Ms. Han.

What is your husband talking about?

I heard you killed her.

You killed Hye-na

and even stole the exam papers!

As for the exam papers,
it was something I had to do for Ye-seo.

But killing Hye-na?

On what grounds are you making
such an absurd accusation?

You think it's absurd?

Shall we go to the police station now
and find out?

Whether you killed her
or someone else did,

I will reveal the truth. Come with me!

No! You can't go. You'll have to
kill me first if you want to go.

You said she killed Hye-na.

Why are you protecting this bitch?

You're the one who killed her.

She wouldn't have died
if you hadn't stopped her surgery.

You killed her with your own hands
for your own career.

You don't have the right
to blame someone else.

Yes,

I'm at fault.

It was all my fault.

I will pay

for what I did, so get out of my way!

I absolutely can't forgive this woman.

-Let go!
-Hye-na is already dead.

Are you going to ruin Ye-seo's life
because of that dead girl?

Are you saying we should bury
all of this for Ye-seo's grades?

You've completely lost your mind.
Step aside!

Listen, you're the one
who's not in your right mind.

You didn't recognize your daughter
when you lived with her for over a year.

And you killed her with your own two hands
for your own career.

You just want to lessen the guilt somehow.

You're about to completely ruin
Ye-seo's life just to lessen your guilt.

Let go!

Going to the police station now
will be like killing Ye-seo.

You'll be killing Ye-seo as well.

Is failing to get into SNU
the end of the world?

Yes, it is.

It'll really kill her!

How could you say that?
Do you not know Ye-seo?

People will criticize her saying
she cheated to become the top student.

Do you think she'll be able to
handle all that criticism?

It'll stick with her for the rest
of her life like a scarlet letter.

What do you think
she'll be able to do in the future?

Once her name
is revealed online, it's over.

Her entire life will be destroyed.

You bitch!

Was it not enough for you to kill Hye-na?

Did you have to make Ye-seo suffer, too?

You were paid billions of won.

Why in the world would you do
something like this?

What other reason would there be?

All I ever tried to do

was to make Ye-seo
become the best student.

You little--

-Honey, calm down.
-Let go of me!

-Calm down, honey.
-Let go!

Honey.

Let's think of Ye-seo.
Let's think of our daughter.

We need to save our daughter.

Even so,

how could you frame it on U-ju
when he didn't even do anything?

What about that poor kid?

How could you do something like that?

Please don't think about anything else.

I don't care if I get stoned
to death for doing this.

I...

I don't care.

I'm going to protect my daughter.

Honey, this is the only choice
we can make right now.

You bitch!

You...

Mr. Jo.

I'm going home first.

You bitch!

You witch!

Regardless of how great
they think they might be,

they're still beneath us.

Once they entrust us with their child,

we're the ones who have control over them.

We can make them laugh or cry.

And we can even make their lives
a living hell.

As long as parents continue to have
the desire to make their kids

become more outstanding than anyone else,

we won't need to take responsibility
for anything

as long as the kids get accepted.

After all, we're their idols, and we have
total control over them in this era

of endless competition.

MR. JO

MR. JO

Do you like it?

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

I'll do my best.

Hey, this is my desk. Move.

I said, move.

Why is this your desk?

You got expelled
for stealing the exam papers.

Kang Ye-seo's personal information
is all over the Internet.

You got perfect grades
by stealing the exam papers?

I hope your life gets ruined.

I hear the sound of handcuffs.

She should get locked up in jail, too.

She probably didn't study anything
on her own at all.

She should be forbidden to take the CSATs.

She shouldn't be allowed
to live in this country.

I don't care if she gets expelled or not.
I just hope she dies.

Even if she gets into med school,
she won't be able to graduate.

I feel sorry for her.
Her life's ruined now.

-How is she going to get a job?
-She lives in Sky Castle.

Her dad's the planning manager
of Junam University Hospital.

Her family's ruined now.

If I were her, I'd die of embarrassment.

I get goosebumps thinking people
like her end up in SNU's med school.

She was probably really happy
when she got perfect grades.

Your life's over, you brat.

Your life is over.

It's over.

Honey.

What are you doing?

Don't look for me.

If you want to leave,
leave in the morning.

It's too late right now.

Why?

Are you scared that I might
go to the cops?

Does that scare you?

Honey.

Did you think I was that decent?

I'll just keep quiet,

so do whatever you want.

Honey.

I know it's hard for you.

I know that.

But can you not go?

Can you

just forget about who's responsible...

and be on my side

just this once?

If Ye-seo is also suspicious
of Kim Ju-yeong,

I'm sure her mother knows
something as well.

Why she won't tell us anything?

An innocent kid is locked up
in prison. How...

How could she be like this?

It means Kim Ju-yeong has something on her

that's stopping her from saying anything.

There's no use in trying
to convince Ye-seo's mom.

We need to...

look into Kim Ju-yeong.

Do you really think we can find out
why she killed Hye-na

just by looking into her past?

Up until now,

we only focused on
why she's trying to ruin

her students' lives

including Jung-min, Yeong-jae, and Ye-seo.

This is just my gut feeling.

But I think she killed Hye-na
for the same reason

that she didn't want me to write

the novel about Yeong-jae.

Did you get any calls
from the Koreans living in Virginia?

I asked for an introduction to someone
who knows the case.

So we'll have to wait.

It must be them.

Su-im.

I heard you went to the ER last night.

Are you all right?

You must have been really stressed
if you got stomach cramps.

I feel better now that the pain's gone.

Come and sit down.

-Okay.
-Can you get us something to drink?

Sure.

Do you want coffee or green tea?

Anything that's easy for you to make.

-Me, too.
-Okay.

He looks haggard, too.

Seo-jun and Gi-jun
are asking friends to sign

a petition saying U-ju's innocent.

Su-han, Yang-u, and I
are going to file petitions as well.

Thank you.

I didn't dare ask in case

it interrupted their studies.

I won't forget

how you helped.

We're doing what we should.

That's right.

U-ju's a senior,

and it breaks my heart
to think he's in a cell.

You must feel terrible.

-Thanks.
-Honey.

Seo-jun and Gi-jun

are getting their friends
to sign a petition.

Su-han's family will file petitions, too.

Thank you.

-Thank you.
-It's nothing.

It's such

a big help.

Don't mention it.

We're all parents.

We should do something.

By the way,

do you have any idea about
who could have framed U-ju?

And don't you think

it's suspicious that the guesthouse
security guard suddenly quit?

The dashboard camera
was from his car, too.

Yes. Our lawyer's
looking for him right now.

How terrible.

The security guard could be the killer.

I really hope
we find the real killer soon.

But...

where's Ms. Han?

Why isn't she here?

We agreed to visit to see how you were,

then go and see U-ju.

Ms. Han said...

she'd visit U-ju?

Honey.

How can I face him?

Should I just not go?

What excuse could I give?

Hi.

I'm sorry. About today...

Did something happen between
you and Dr. Hwang?

What do you mean?

When I mentioned that you were
coming with us to see U-ju,

he seemed a bit angry.

Why would he object to you
visiting his son?

Isn't that odd?

Dr. Hwang isn't at all a rude person.

Weren't you mistaken?

Nothing happened between us.

I'm about to leave right now.

Okay.

That's strange.

Is something going on?

I have a feeling
that something's going on.

Please don't tell U-ju that I'm sick...

Don't you worry.

We'll tell him that you're eating well

and that you're doing just fine.

Do you want us to give him a message?

Tell him that I'll visit tomorrow,
so he doesn't need to worry...

I believe that one day,
you will reveal the truth.

Thank you

for going with them.

Look after yourself. See you.

Get in.

Su-im.

Rest well and don't worry.

Dr. Hwang, don't skip your meals.

Okay.

U-ju.

Hello.

Goodness.

You must have been really distressed.

Are you eating at all?

I know

that you're innocent.

That's right.

Everyone in Sky Castle
knows you're innocent.

We all do.

Thank you.

Oh, dear.

Please look after my mom for me.

When I was young,

I was really nasty to her.

I guess

I'm being punished for being
such a bad son.

I used to throw a fit
and knock over the table.

I'd scream and break things.

I was always thinking of ways
to upset her.

I had no idea.

I thought your mom

had absolutely nothing to worry about.

U-ju.

Be strong.

The day will come
when you can smile about the past.

Yes, U-ju.

You can't cover the sky
with the palm of your hand.

The truth will come out one day.

Thank you.

JEONGSEON MEDICAL CENTER

-How about here?
-That hurts.

DOCTOR PARK SU-CHANG

Where does it not hurt?

Oh, dear.

I ache all over.

-My goodness.
-Give me a drug that will kill me.

Oh, dear.

You need to live for a long time.

I saw your x-ray, and you're just fine.

If you drink to sleep better,
your head will hurt more.

What should I do now?

I always got perfect scores in my exams.

But I don't know the answer
to problems like this.

Think simply.

The right answer is always simple.

Those who are sick should be treated,

and no one should be victimized.

Right.

If you don't do anything about it,
your daughter will get sick.

She'll get really sick, and you might not
be able to cure her later.

Cut out the rotten parts now.

You must do it while you still can.

I couldn't do it.

That's why I lost my wife

and made Yeong-jae
go through all that ordeal.

I'm afraid that Ye-seo

may resent me if I do something.

Hye-na ended up like that because of me.

-And if Ye-seo--
-It'll be hard for your wife and Ye-seo

to let go of what they're holding.

But you see, life is long.

Don't be shortsighted.

Think about 10 or 20 years from now.

University?

In my opinion, it's not a big deal at all.

But the guilt of turning
an innocent person into a murderer

will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Why would you want your daughter
to carry such a burden?

Do you think Ye-seo

will thank her parents for their
shortsightedness down the road?

There's the saying,
"You reap what you sow."

It's so true.

I guess

I'm being punished for being
such a bad son.

-Hello?
-Ms. Han.

Ye-seo's phone is off.
We can't get a hold of her.

Ye-seo?

Okay, I'll look for her.

Miss.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Ye-seo isn't back yet, right?

She got home a while ago.

-She's home now?
-Yes.

Thanks for believing me.

Ye-seo.

Mom.

What should I do now?

I came straight home from school.

I can't bring myself to go to the lessons.

I can't even go to Coach Kim's office.

But then again, I can't go
to the police station either.

What should I do?

I can't be like this
knowing that U-ju is behind bars.

I know.

I...

understand how you feel.

I really do.

CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT,
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT

All this

is the outcome of our hard work

over the years.

Since you were four years old,

for the past 15 long years,

you and I, the two of us...

DOCTOR KANG YE-SEO

The two of us accomplished this together.

Ye-seo.

Can you give this up?

Think about everything we've done
to accomplish this.

Over the years,

we've never gotten
more than four hours of sleep.

I've never let loose and had fun.

I've never played any games
in my entire life.

We've never gone on vacation.

I've really done my very best, Mom.

I really want to get into
SNU's med school.

Why do I have to be torn about this?

I know, Ye-seo.

Let's hang in there
for just one more semester.

If we manage to get through
the first semester,

you'll be able to wear this gown
that you've always wanted to wear.

Only if we can get through
the first semester.

Am I really going to be okay?

Mom, if I can get through
just one more semester,

I'll be fine, right?

Of course.

You'll be fine.

Are you out of your mind?

Boys, you're in your senior year.

Why are you wasting
your time like this? A petition?

What on earth are you thinking?

U-ju is also in his senior year.

That model student with good grades
is wasting his time behind bars.

He must be devastated.
We must help him in any way we can.

Do you think petitions have legal force?

It's all useless.
It's a complete waste of your time.

-Our friend is in trouble...
-"Friend"?

Hwang U-ju is your friend?

How could you consider a murderer
your friend?

I'm baffled.

How could you call him a murderer?

Don't you know
the presumption of innocence?

Since he hasn't been convicted yet--

The presumption of innocence is just
a principle applied in criminal cases.

Gosh. Fine.

Let's say he didn't do it.
Even if that's the case,

he has already been eliminated
from this race.

He won't be released
until the real culprit turns himself in.

University?

It's already all over for him.
He's just...

He's just like a bad card in your hand
that you should get rid of.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Hey, don't even talk
to an old, stuffy man like him.

It's impossible to get through to him.
Why bother?

You should just ignore him.

His anger will exhaust him eventually.

Okay, bye.

See you later, Mom.

Honey! You'd better stay focused.

Do you want the twins
to become a failure like her?

Dad.

Did you just call me a failure?

What?

What's wrong with what I said?

Why am I a failure?
You're the one who has failed.

They say your life is successful
if you're respected by your children.

Hey, twins.

Do you guys respect Dad?

Respect?

I'd love to respect him if I could.

I want to respect him, too.

Dad, you heard that, right?

You're the failure, not me.

I pity you the most, Dad.

You're a total failure.
You're at rock bottom. An epic failure.

Shut your mouth!

You brat, how dare you!

-Honey.
-You coddle her too much.

That's why she can be so proud
even after conning everyone.

I want to talk to you about something.

Go have a seat.

Se-ri, go have a seat. Boys, you too.

-Okay.
-Okay, Mom.

How dare you order your husband
to sit down?

Just say it.

Then

will you just stand there and listen?

Just say it. Go ahead and say it.

I...

really can't live with you anymore.

What?

How do you guys feel?

I can't live with Dad, either.

Same here.

I can't, either.

You can't live with me?

-What are you doing right now?
-Cha Min-hyeok.

I want

a divorce.

I have several conditions.

Get rid of that pyramid right now,

and stop forcing your educational
values and life values on them.

I also want you to stop demoralizing
the kids by calling them a failure.

I want you to respect the kids
and treat them exactly how

you'd like to be treated.

What?

If you don't accept
those conditions I just mentioned,

I'm going to get a divorce.

Do you understand?

Se-ri, go to work.

You guys should go upstairs.

-Goodnight, Mom.
-Bye.

I'm going to go to bed.

This is unbelievable.

I can't...

I can't believe this.

So you're saying Dr. Hwang

glared at Ye-seo's mother
when she said she'll visit U-ju?

"You mean bitch."

Did he glare at her like this?

Yes, just like that.

So you think

Ye-seo's mother hired
the guesthouse security guard,

asked him to kill Hye-na,
and framed it on U-ju?

Goodness, how could you think
of something so horrible?

You don't know anything.

Seo-jin would even jump
into a fire pit for Ye-seo.

If Hye-na kept provoking Ye-seo

and made Ye-seo's grades go down,

she would've done something
to take care of that.

There's no doubt.

But even so, she couldn't have killed...

Are you mad? That's nonsense.

But then again, you're right.
It is nonsense.

Then why did Dr. Hwang
glare at her like that?

He would never glare at anyone like that.

I've never seen him so angry at someone.

When did you exchange
so many looks with him?

Do you know everything about him
just by seeing the look in his eyes?

Gosh, is that important right now?

Yes, it's important. It's important to me.

Wait.

Seo-jin also seemed very intimidated
when Dr. Hwang glared at her.

It's so strange.

I'm sure there's something going on.

There must be something
very serious going on.

Mom.

Ye-seo, what's wrong?

Gosh,

you're sweating so much.

It's okay.

It's okay. Everything's fine.

There, there. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, Ye-seo.

How can he be so irresponsible?

How could he just apply for a leave
and disappear

when he didn't even make
the budget execution plan?

The hospital isn't getting managed
properly because he's gone.

Well, sir...

-He has his reasons--
-What reason could he have

for not calling
and keeping his phone turned off?

Well, the thing is...

Then are you saying in order to save
my grandson, Dr. Kang...

He's in extreme shock right now.

-Okay, you may leave.
-Yes, sir.

I can't talk to him

about Congressman Kim Hyeok-jae
after what happened.

Hello, Director Choi. How may I help you?

Professor Cha,
I managed to get my hands on

a very expensive bottle of Chinese
alcohol that's 60 years old.

So how about you, me,

and Congressman Kim
get together for a drink?

I'm sorry, but I'm really busy these days.

I'm sorry.

I already did enough for him.
He should do the rest himself.

Why is he asking me for more?

A divorce?

How dare you even say something like that?

You completely ruined my dignity
in front of the kids.

"Do you want to live with Dad?"

You've been saying this all night.
Aren't you sick of it already?

You are unbelievable.

When did I say this all night?

A divorce? She must be out of her mind.

How could she dare say
something like that?

And how could she ask the kids
if they want to live with me?

She completely destroyed my dignity.

A divorce?

How dare you say that word?

How can you sleep?

How in the world can you sleep?

How can you sleep after behaving
like that in front of the kids?

Wake up.

You said you have a meeting
with the Minister of Justice

and the law school professors today.

I'll listen to this recording
until you feel better.

So you should stop talking and go to work.

You recorded that?

You really enjoy recording things,
don't you?

I should record everything
since I might even go to court with you.

Go to court?

Do you think I'll let that happen?

Stop talking nonsense.

If you don't want to get divorced,

you just need to accept
the conditions I proposed.

I'm a law school professor.

You're going to file a lawsuit against me?

Do you think you'll win?
I never did anything to cause the divorce.

We

will have to see about that.

I mean, it's not like
I ever cheated on you,

gambled, or never gave you
any living expenses.

Plus, I never even used
violence on you either.

Verbal violence is also
considered as violence.

Cut the nonsense.

I want you to write a ten-page
letter of repentance

until I come back home.

Tell the kids to write it, too.

It should be written on A4 paper,
and the font size should be 11.

If you don't write it,
I'll kick all of you out of here.

Honey.

I'll drive.

-You can't drive yet.
-No, it's okay.

If you join, we might not be able
to have a deep conversation.

I'll just go by myself.

What if you get stomach cramps again?

I'll just drive.

-I won't go inside.
-Okay, fine. Let's hurry up.

Are you

the one from Fairfax?

Yes.

Ms. Lee Su-im?

I thought it very strange.

She was definitely Jennifer,

but Ms. Han insisted she wasn't.

Even though she was cleared of
the charges and was released,

I heard that the Koreans there
still believed

she was the one who killed her husband.

Why was that?

She had a clear reason to kill him.

Their relationship was so bad
that they were about to divorce.

Her husband tried to take custody
of their daughter.

She killed him for that?

She valued her daughter
more than her life.

K was a genius.

She got into George Washington
University at the age of nine.

The chancellor

was so sure she'd be the next Einstein.

All the moms in Fairfax
treated her like a queen.

Not just the Koreans
but the Americans, too.

She was our community's pride.

Her husband tried to take custody
of the child she was so proud of,

so she killed her husband
and made it look like an accident.

What evidence do they have
to back that up?

They had drifted apart
and had lived separately already.

On the day of the accident,

her husband came to take his things.

No. K!

No!

K!

No!

As soon as the car left,

Jennifer ran after it like crazy,
and someone saw that.

She screamed for K.

As if she knew there would be an accident.

She could've just been
trying to get her daughter back.

Isn't that why she was
cleared of suspicion?

That could be true.

But the guilt and loss she felt
after ruining the future

of her genius daughter...

That's the only thing
that explains her behavior.

Think about it.

She wanted to kill her husband

to keep custody of her smart daughter.

But what if K got into her dad's car
without her mom knowing?

What if her husband died

and her daughter

became mentally impaired?

Nothing would have consoled the guilt
and loss she felt.

That doesn't mean it's okay to ruin
other people's kids and families.

What about Hye-na?

Why did Coach Kim kill Hye-na?

Since Hye-na had no family to lose,

there would be another reason.

That reason might be...

what's holding Seo-jin back.

You go home first.

Honey, why? Where are you going?

Why did you take a day off?

What are you

trying to avoid?

Let's talk later.

Later?

My innocent son's in a cell,
and you say later?

My family's in turmoil,
and you want to wait?

If you wanted to crush people
in order to become the director,

why didn't you just crush me?

Why go after my innocent son?

You think you can hide after doing that?

Do you think you can
just turn a blind eye?

Honey! Don't do it. Stop it.

Let's go. Come on, stop it.

Let's go, come on.

-Are you even human?
-Don't.

-How can you call yourself human?
-Stop it.

-U-ju did nothing to deserve this!
-Let's go.

Ma'am.

Your husband's home.

Is he?

Will you clean this up?

What's gotten into Ye-seo?

She was such a neat freak.

Cut out the rotten parts now.

You must do it while you still can.

I couldn't do it.

That's why I lost my wife

and made Yeong-jae
go through all that ordeal.

If you wanted to crush people
in order to become the director,

why didn't you just crush me?

Why go after my innocent son?

You think you can hide after doing that?

Do you think you can
just turn a blind eye?

Mother.

-Where's Jun-sang?
-He just came home.

-What brings you here?
-He asked to see me.

Did he?

What tea would you like?

Just give me some cold water.

Okay.

You sit down, too.

I have something to say.

After I get Mother some water.

Sit down.

Do you agree with Seo-jin

that we should cover up Ye-seo's secret?

We should.

If word gets out that the exam was leaked,

not only will her life be ruined,

but yours will, too. And you've come
this far to become the planning manager.

Even if my life

is nothing but an empty shell,

despite that title?

What did you just say?

If only I had been more mature...

If I had known

to look around me

and behind me instead of
focusing solely on reaching the top,

I wouldn't have

killed Hye-na like that.

Do you call that repenting?

If you want to repent, do it properly.

I don't want to bring up the past,

but none of this would've happened
had you listened to me.

Hye-na wouldn't even have been born.

So it's all my fault?

Had you trusted me and waited patiently,

my relationship with Eun-hye
wouldn't have lasted that long.

You stepped in
and made things get out of hand.

So?

Are you saying you dated her
just to rebel against me?

I guess you're still emotional
from what happened.

-Let's talk another time.
-I'm going to resign

from Junam University Hospital.

-What did you say?
-Honey.

You'll do what? Have you lost your mind?

You've been through so much to get here.

You'll quit knowing
you'll be the next director?

Mom, when will you stop
pushing me onstage?

You've groomed and trimmed me,
and showed me off.

Haven't you received enough applause?

What?

"Groomed"?

Because you groomed me so much,

I lived almost 50 years
without knowing who I really am.

I've done so much to raise you well.

Thanks to me, you've been able
to enjoy a successful life

as a doctor at a university hospital.

And you're blaming me now?

Honey, what is your true self?

You're a son to Mother,
a father to Ye-seo and Ye-bin,

a husband to me,
and a university hospital doctor.

Isn't that who you are?
Who else would you be?

There is no Kang Jun-sang.

I don't know who I am.

I've been working toward the goal
of becoming the hospital director.

While pursuing that goal,

I ended up killing my own daughter.

Why is that title so important?
It doesn't even matter.

I have no idea who I am.

I feel like I'm nothing.

All right. Then how about
you request a leave of absence?

You can take some time off
until you pull yourself together.

No, just until Ye-seo
gets into university.

So you will send her to SNU?

We have to. She must get into
SNU no matter what.

-We need a third-generation--
-A third-generation doctor.

Why is that so important?

You turned Seo-jin into a crazy woman
obsessed with that.

That's the least she can do!

She lied about her family and education.

You and I

were the ones who caused that.

You and I

have lived our lives wrong.

Since I still have some shame left in me,

I cannot operate on patients
at the hospital

where I killed my own daughter.

Do you not understand how I feel?

Right.

You only found out after she died
that she was your child.

You must be utterly devastated.

But when you become

the director of the hospital,
the position everyone looks up to,

and send Ye-seo to SNU's med school,

Hye-na

won't even cross your mind.

Aren't I right, Seo-jin?

Everyone will look up to me?

When will you stop caring only about
how you appear to others?

When will you stop obsessing
about what others think of you?

Seo-jin,

listen to me carefully.

If you and Ye-seo disclose

the exam paper leak yourselves
and beg for forgiveness,

Ye-seo won't be criticized

even if her name gets exposed
all over the Internet.

Su-chang advised me
not to be shortsighted.

He told me to think about
10 and 20 years from now.

Think about U-ju's life.

Do you think Ye-seo will be able

to live happily after ruining U-ju's life
if she manages

to get into SNU's med school?

It's your choice.

You ungrateful fool!

You fool.

Do you even know how much I've done
to raise you well?

I've done so much to raise you!

What? I've lived my life wrong?

How dare you betray me like this?

You absolutely can't quit.

If you want to submit
your letter of resignation,

you'll have to kill me first.

Kill me before you quit!

Kill me first. Just kill me.

Kill me before you quit!

Kill me first. Kill me before you quit.

Kill me first.

Kill me first.

Mother.

Even if

I don't become
the director of the hospital,

I'll still be your son, you know.

Can I...

just...

be your son?

The same goes for you.

Stop being so greedy.

Ye-seo's life

and yours are different.

Why are all the lights off?

Honey.

Honey!

Cha Seo-jun!

Cha Gi-jun!

Letter of repentance.

I regret marrying a man like Cha Min-hyeok

without even having a single deep
conversation about our values

just to get away
from my patriarchal father.

As a mother of three,

I failed to protect my children
from Cha Min-hyeok's

coercive and abusive educational methods
and neglected

my children's pain and suffering
for almost two decades.

I deeply regret my past decisions.

They say that broken tools
can be repaired,

but people cannot be fixed.
I ignored that saying

and did not give up hope on Cha Min-hyeok.

I...

wholeheartedly regret

thinking that way.

"P.S.

I'm leaving

the divorce papers on your desk.

Sign and submit them..."

The boys are in their senior year.

Their midterm exam
is just around the corner.

They can't be wasting even a second.

How dare she do this?

Seo-jin,

listen to me carefully.

If you and Ye-seo disclose

the exam paper leak yourselves
and beg for forgiveness,

Ye-seo won't be criticized

even if her name gets exposed
all over the Internet.

I've really done my very best, Mom.

I really want to get into
SNU's med school.

A third-generation doctor.

Why is that so important?

You turned Seo-jin into a crazy woman
obsessed with that.

Did you not expect this outcome at all?

You told Ye-seo about the exam
paper leak without expecting this?

You should've

kept it from Ye-seo, no matter what.

She said she'd run to the police station

and tell the cops that she found
the key chain in this office

and that U-ju isn't the culprit.

How else was I supposed to stop her, then?

You should've calmed her down
and sent her to me.

She's been missing all the lessons.

Did you actually think she'd do well
on the test?

This isn't time to talk about
who's at fault. We need a plan.

Her midterm exam is coming up soon.

You promised me

that you'd make sure Ye-seo gets into SNU.

Of course.

Since I'm coaching her,

she must get accepted.

It contains Shin A High School's
midterm exam papers.

Once again,

Ye-seo will get perfect scores
in all subjects.

Su-chang advised me
not to be shortsighted.

Think about U-ju's life.

Do you think Ye-seo will be able

to live happily after ruining U-ju's life
if she manages

to get into SNU's med school?

It's your choice.
