(EPISODE 7)

Excuse...

Excuse me?

Hyeong Woo, what happened?

Are you hurt?

Go away.

- What happened? - I said go away.

What do you think you're doing?

Are you all right?

What was that about? Get up.

You need help.

No hospitals.

Why not?

You're badly hurt.

Then, I'll take you home.

No. No...

Hyeong Woo?

Hyeong Woo!

Hyeong Woo, hang in there. Are you okay?

You brat!

I got 2 pairs. That's 4 times...

Let me see.

My goodness.

It looks really bad.

Why won't you get help?

Do you have a first-aid kit?

Yes, but...

we only have a disinfectant and bandages.

- Bring me that. - To do what?

What if it festers?

What happened?

How did you end up like this?

A congresswoman's aide shouldn't end up like this.

Don't say a word.

I just need to rest.

You can't tell anyone...

what happened today.

The minute you do,

I'm dead.

Why? Over what?

Promise me...

you won't tell.

I'm off to bed.

Okay. Sleep well.

I hope our relationship develops further on our next date.

Sure.

It's pretty late, Ms Song.

Is something wrong?

Mr Jin has been acting strangely.

What about...

Mr Jin?

What do you mean by strange?

This morning, he took everything we had on the last election.

Even the top secret files.

Okay, I'll look into it.

(JIN HYEONG WOO)

The phone has been turned off. Please...

(KANG IL JOO)

Hello, Il Joo.

Auntie, are you home?

Hyeong Woo's phone is off.

No, I'm still in my office.

Did you try the home number?

He must be asleep. It's past 11 p.m.

No, I'll leave a little later.

I have a report to do for Mr Kang.

Yes, good night.

Okay.

Extend the search to Gyeonggi-do.

The motorcycle had been reported stolen.

The men also searched all the ERs in Seoul,

but none of the patients had a stab wound on their side.

Do you think this is a coincidence?

Pardon?

Shin Eun Soo.

She was involved in Hyeong Woo's father's death,

and her now-dead husband was investigating us.

And...

since she started working here, bad things have been happening.

"Blue Beauty" is in danger.

Then...

Check out her home.

Whoever is behind this...

will contact her somehow.

Eun Soo.

Why are you out here?

- Mum. - Go sleep inside.

You must've been really tired.

I wonder if Beom Soo is back yet.

Mum, wait.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I guess I was dreaming.

Why isn't she back yet?

Moo Hyeok.

You're not in bed yet?

I felt a bit thirsty.

Weren't you asleep in your room?

I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk.

- Good night. - You, too.

The wound was cleaned so he isn't in any serious danger.

I've stitched him up, so just let the cut heal.

No one can find out about this.

- Do you understand? - Don't worry, ma'am.

Why are you so rash?

You yourself said he doesn't have long to live.

Kang doesn't trust me.

I might...

lose everything before I find out...

what "Blue Beauty" is.

Who helped you?

A trustworthy friend.

You should've called and come here.

I thought you'd be at home.

If you'd left to get me,

you might have aroused suspicion.

Don't do anything like this again.

I'll get my car.

Someone might be watching, so come down when I call.

Okay.

You're tall and handsome enough.

Why are you leaving already?

Here.

Take it.

I'll give you something nicer next time.

You have to visit again.

I need to see you in the daylight.

Okay. Thank you.

The fact that we met...

has to be our secret.

Even to my mum?

Yes.

Even to your mum.

Find a particular book at Kang Seok Hyun's house.

The third letter on the first line...

on page 67 is O.

The seventh letter on the 29th line...

on page 41 is S.

That book holds the clue to the truth behind Hong's death.

What are you doing? Why was the door locked?

How did that happen?

I guess I locked it by mistake as I came in.

Shin.

Are you trying to steal something?

Not at all.

Even the smell of books makes me drowsy.

I don't discriminate ex-convicts.

But if I see you act suspiciously...

you will pay the price.

Yes, ma'am.

I will try hard not to let you down.

The grocery is being delivered.

Everyone's in the backyard...

so go help them out.

Yes, ma'am.

You should've knocked.

Sorry.

Your mother called in to say you can't work today.

Are you sick?

Yes. I'm not feeling well.

You don't look too good.

- Are you very sick? - I'll be fine.

I just need a day off.

Where were you last night?

You ignored my call.

I went to bed early.

I had a fever.

Is something wrong?

No.

Get some rest.

- Mum. - Mi Rae, why are you here?

What's going on?

It's Saturday but you're working and she wanted to see you.

Wow, this place looks like a palace.

Are you crazy?

You can't bring a kid here.

What could go wrong?

Is it against the law to visit someone's house?

Go home. You shouldn't be here.

I don't want to be here too.

You work from dawn to dusk,

I thought your kid might forget what you look like.

What's so wrong about a mum...

visiting her daughter at work?

Who are they?

Mum, I need to pee.

I don't expect you to have pride...

or professional skills as a maid.

But I do expect you to know the most basic of manners.

I apologise.

This isn't a playground.

They shouldn't be here.

Had I known, I would have stopped them from coming.

I think you're being a bit too harsh.

What's so wrong about us...

visiting someone else's house?

How dare you scold my daughter.

- What a joke. - Mum!

Are you done talking?

No. I could go on for 100 more days.

You look like you work here, too.

Don't act like you own the place.

Look here, lady.

I'm looking at you already...

and I don't like what I see.

- Stop it, will you? - What's going on?

Shin brought her family along...

so I was reprimanding her.

What's so wrong about that? There's no need to cause such a fuss.

Do you want to see where your daughter works?

Look around.

You're such a gracious host and lady of the house.

I wish your subordinates would learn something from you.

You're a pretty little girl.

I'll get you a snack. Come with me. Come along.

She said I can look around.

Don't you give me the stink eye.

Thank you for being understanding.

Continue with your work.

Eat this and wait until your mum is done for the day.

Okay?

Here.

Oh no.

The carpet will reek when the milk starts to dry.

I'll wet this with warm water.

The milk should come out.

You should study really hard.

You don't want to grow up and do what your mum does.

Hurry up.

Get the milk out before it dries.

Eat up.

You pick what you wanted to eat.

Take it.

- Where are you going? - To get her some water.

What about the carpet?

Do you know how much it costs?

My goodness.

The peppers are small and wrinkly just like you.

You need to spray some pesticide.

I prefer to keep everything organic.

You're too old to care about health now.

A good pesticide would bring this right back to health.

Pesticides can be rinsed off.

People seem to care a lot about organic food,

but if you care that much about your health,

why live in Seoul?

You should live in the countryside.

What are you doing?

Prime Minister, was this woman out of line?

"Prime Minister"?

Who is she?

I am nobody.

I was just passing by.

You know she's an ex-con,

so why is she still in my house?

Do I have to step in?

I apologise.

But she has a terrible temper.

She's beyond shameless and has no pride whatsoever.

I want her out of here.

If you can't do it, I'll fire you instead.

A lot of people want your job.

Yes, ma'am.

I don't want this.

- What's wrong? - You're a bad person.

You pretend to be nice,

but you bully my mum in secret.

You don't know your place, either.

Listen carefully.

Your mum is my servant.

A master can do what she wants to the servant.

So go away, little servant.

You're the witch of the smelly cave.

You'll end up in a hole for everything you did.

I wish you'd get the measles.

What a rotten little brat.

What are you doing to her? She's just a child.

Shin, teach your girl some manners.

But then again, you might not know any manners yourself.

A grown up who hits kids is the worst.

- How dare... - Don't touch her.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, are you all right?

She assaulted me. Call the police.

I'm so sorry. I'll...

Stay away from her.

Call an ambulance and the police.

- Yes, ma'am. - You call the lawyer.

Yes, ma'am.

Slowly, slowly.

Oh no...

You pushed her down the stairs,

gravely hurting her,

and then assaulted her, correct?

No, I just pushed her away.

Lady, there are too many witnesses.

- Denying won't help. - I'm telling the truth.

Why don't you believe me?

What's taking so long?

The victim requires six weeks of bed rest.

Type it up and let the prosecutors handle it.

Yes, sir.

I will do as you say.

I will stop...

serving your daughter.

Very well.

You made a wise decision.

Hyeong Woo.

Have you heard of "Blue Beauty"?

No, sir.

Your father didn't tell you, then.

I have another hidden weapon other than your father and you.

I will use it to make...

Il Do or Il Joo President.

I plan to rearrange the current political parties.

To do that, I will need millions, even billions of dollars.

What's important is...

the ability of the person in charge.

I want you to be in charge.

You are superior to your father.

- Sir... - However,

you must throw away your ambition.

You said you want to be a Kingmaker like me.

That can happen as long as you throw away your ambition.

Hyeong Woo.

I like you a lot.

Thank you, sir.

We finally got her!

She won't get off easily, not with her record.

You think so?

Mrs Kang wants her behind bars.

They got off on the wrong foot.

But does she really need bed rest?

What do you think?

This morning, he took everything we had on the last election.

Even the top secret files.

Where were you last night?

You ignored my call.

I went to bed early.

I had a fever.

(EUN SOO)

Il Joo.

- What happened? - I need your help.

I need to stay with my daughter.

I served time...

when she was just a baby.

I can't do that to her again.

I need to stay with her. Help me.

Okay. Now calm down and tell me what happened.

Why is she in there for so long?

Are you sure she did nothing wrong?

I should have been there.

Are they trumping up the charges because we're poor?

I have to do something. You wait right here.

I'll see what's going on.

Mister!

You know me, don't you?

I do.

- Where's your mum? - Please help her.

She's in big trouble.

Last night, my mum...

let you sleep over.

Now you have to help her.

Please do something.

It's okay, don't cry.

I'm here now. Don't cry.

Oh, there you are.

What, are you still considering?

A man should have more guts.

I would like to speak in private.

It's fine.

He can be trusted.

I will do as you asked.

I will work for you.

Wait.

There's something called timing.

You hesitated when I first offered.

I can't take you in without compensation.

I have papers you can use...

to bring down Il Joo.

But...

I have a condition.

I think she will be arrested.

What should I do?

Didn't you bring her in to keep an eye on her?

What do you think?

Should I keep her close and spy on her.

Or should I let her suffer...

and see who comes to her rescue?

Listen to me carefully.

I took the wrong fork in the road.

I must pay for it.

You might...

get hurt even more in the future.

And you...

must never...

get into politics.

That is my greatest wish.

However much we hate Kang...

we lack the power to get revenge.

Things have changed.

Sang Hee will be the boost we need.

We must use her...

to take all that belongs to Kang.

How about getting into politics?

From now on,

I will look after you.

(I WILL LOOK AFTER YOUR SON.)

I know how you feel.

Just remember one thing.

Whatever happens...

I won't let go of your hand.

Mi Rae.

Mum!

I'm sorry, Mum.

I won't do it ever again.

What are you talking about?

You did nothing wrong.

The police took you away because of what I did.

Don't say that.

I was able to stay strong because of you.

- Because of me? - Yes.

I was surrounded by evil people...

when you suddenly showed up.

You were like a superhero.

Really?

My Mi Rae...

is the best.

You're home at last?

Were you asleep until now?

Did you feed Mi Rae?

I couldn't sleep a wink all night...

and finally fell asleep at dawn.

Don't you care how I feel?

You look terrible.

Shouldn't you eat?

No. I need to go to work.

Mum, do you have to go back there?

I apologise.

Is that how bad you feel?

I apologise.

She forgave you out of the generosity of her heart.

Make sure it never happens again.

I expect the rest of you to keep quiet.

Do we have a new queen?

You needed just one day to recover, not six weeks.

My back still hurts.

Then go back to hospital.

I'd love to not see you for six weeks.

Hey.

I like you a lot.

Come to me if she bothers you.

Il Ran.

Not in front of them.

Since when were you the boss?

You were just like them until you seduced my brother.

Do you know what type of people are the worst?

Those of middle rank who force obedience.

I'm sure you meant, the highest ranks who do that.

Hey!

The lowly middle ranking you,

is demanding respect from the lower ranks, as if it is your right.

I'm above you so remember, that is a privilege I have, not you.

You're all the same yet one thinks she's better than the rest.

My sensitive soul can't handle this.

Thanks, Il Joo.

For helping me get out.

I should go before someone sees us.

It's fine. Sit down.

Is something wrong? Tell me.

I was just happy you're out.

I don't think that's it.

Talk to me.

We're friends.

After you left,

my father brought me here.

I've lived as Kang Il Joo for 15 years,

but nobody's accepted me.

I gritted my teeth and swore...

I wouldn't let them walk over me.

Dozens of times a day...

I wished I could get away.

The person who helped me...

was Hyeong Woo.

He almost died because of me.

How?

We tried to get married secretly...

but my father found out.

So I was forced into marrying my current husband.

I see.

We promised each other that...

our love would never change.

But I'm scared.

He hasn't been taking my calls,

and he disappeared last night.

I can...

You can't tell anyone...

what happened tonight.

The minute you do,

I'm dead.

Do you think he's seeing someone?

Why else would a man not answer his phone?

Something must be up.

You've been together for 15 years.

He's a man, too.

A man enflamed by desire will want to...

hold a woman when he's lonely.

Now I'm married to a man I have no feelings for,

so I can't ask him about his private life.

I'm so scared...

he'll say I'm right.

Il Joo.

I'm sorry, Eun Soo.

I'm being silly.

You're not. I understand.

I'm sorry I can't help.

No.

Thank you for listening.

I have...

no one to talk to.

Sorry but...

I have work to do.

Right.

I took too much of your time.

It's fine.

Try to calm down.

See you around.

I want to leave.

- Please let me go. - Cheong-mi...

You will become unhappy...

and I will get hurt.

Let's stop going down...

this dangerous path.

I will leave my wife.

I can resign from Congress.

This won't end just like that.

You know what your wife...

and her father are like.

Nothing will happen to us.

Whatever happens, we will never be apart.

Sorry, sir.

I came out for some fresh air.

Do you need something?

The pickled apricots...

Is there more?

This is the pickled apricot bibimbap you had last time.

Do you know Turgenev?

Pardon?

Ivan Turgenev.

The Russian author of "First Love".

No, sir.

But I know a TV drama with the same title.

It was a huge hit, when I was a teenager.

It tastes different.

Ivan Turgenev?

It's nice to enjoy some quality time at home.

People stare at us when we're out.

Yes, It's not too bad.

Did you exercise with Jin again today?

No.

He had a fever and took the day off.

Isn't he seeing anyone?

He's a catch.

He's fit and smart.

I'm a guy and even I think he's nice.

What do you think?

He might be seeing someone.

But I'm not the prying type so I wouldn't know.

I'm tired.

We both work so let's call it a day.

Il Joo.

I...

Well...

Can I...

sleep beside you tonight?

Sorry, but I don't feel well.

Good night.

My grandpa gave it to my grandma when he proposed.

He was smart like that.

My grandma had a talent for making clothes.

So why do you have it?

My grandma liked me a lot.

She should've given it to my dad...

but she gave it to me...

to give to my future wife.

Watch out!

Last night, my mum let you sleep over.

I went to bed early.

I had a fever.

- Wait... - What are you?

Stop, it's me. It's just me.

Mr Ma.

What kind of a woman just beats people up?

It's because you scared me.

Why are you here?

Isn't that a Louis Vuitton?

I don't know. Why?

Where's your conscience?

You don't pay me back...

but you accept gifts like this?

Were you always this materialistic?

What are you talking about?

It's what's inside that counts, not what you see on the outside.

Does it bother you that I'm bald?

Think about what's inside the skull, not what's covering it.

Sorry. I'll pay you back little by little with interest.

That's not what I'm saying.

Mi Rae.

Mum.

Why are you alone? Where's Granny?

She went to get drunk.

Again?

Then you should be in bed.

Why are you eating this? I told you not to eat pizza.

I was waiting for you.

Is something wrong?

Why are you crying?

You should just marry Mr Oh Kwang.

I will live with Granny.

What are you talking about?

I don't want you to work there.

The lady will keep bullying you.

If you marry Mr Oh Kwang...

no one will bully you.

Mi Rae...

Mum.

Why did Dad do something bad and get you in trouble?

If it hadn't been for him,

you wouldn't be living like this.

Don't say that. Your dad wasn't a bad man.

You have no idea how much he loved us.

Don't say things like that.

("October 2nd...

(2009?")

(MI RAE'S DAD'S MEMORIAL DAY).

What got into you?

You just disappeared.

Come with me.

Why did you ask me to come all the way here?

Oh, welcome.

It's good to see you.

Don't you like fishing?

How about we catch something big?

Fishing is something men with a lot of time do.

It's not my thing.

There are all kinds of fishing.

Fishing for power, for example.

I could get you into the Blue House.

I have no time for your jokes.

If you're so sure, make your daughter-in-law President.

Why come to me?

Life would be so boring if everything were so obvious.

What brings you here, Kim?

I have some important news.

Your aide, Jin Hyeong Woo...

sided with my boss.

He must be planning something, then.

Jin refused Il Do's offer.

- Remind him of that. - I'm not lying.

I saw it myself.

Why are you telling me this?

You're Il Do's secretary.

To be honest,

it's because Jin...

threatens my position.

I don't want to...

lose my job.

I have papers you can use to bring down Il Joo.

But I have a condition.

What is it? Tell me.

Your wife sued a maid...

named Shin Eun Soo.

Let her go.

Madam?

Miss Song.

Where is Jin?

Let's talk.

Did anything happen...

after I left?

No.

Do you know...

what this is?

Where did you get this?

So you know what it is.

Tell me where you got this.

Why do you have this?

I found it while cleaning the Prime Minister's room.

Isn't it the code that was on the papers found in my bag?

This is why your father died...

and my family was ruined.

Tell me what this is.

I need to know.

What are you doing?

I warned you already.

I told you to get leave this house.

My father died because of you.

If you go around asking questions,

it reminds me of the past.

Why are you torturing me?

What can you get here that's worth all the mockery?

Get out.

I said I'm sick of seeing you.

What did I do wrong?

How is it my fault your father died?

Do you think my life was rosy?

My poor dad tortured himself until the day he died.

What did I do to deserve all this?

I didn't tell anyone that you got hurt.

Do you know how much trouble I was into?

I don't deserve to hear this from you.

What do you mean?

Did someone ask you about me?

Forget it. Quit ordering me about...

and resign yourself.

Don't you have any pride left?

What would your father think of you?

- What are you talking about? - Let go.

I'll ignore you from now on.

I hope you do the same.

You jerk.

The phone has been turned off. Please leave...

Wait!

You can't just barge in!

- What is it? - Ms Kang Il Joo?

You are suspected of breaking the law in the previous election.

I have a search warrant.

Please cooperate.

You asked to see me.

Jin Hyeong Woo.

What are you planning?

I told you to leave Il Joo...

not to work for Il Do.

Sir.

I...

You jerk.
