(EPISODE 8)

You jerk.

After all those years we spent together...

How could you do this to me?

That's enough. You're making a scene.

Father.

- Jin... - I know.

You two, follow me.

Jin joined forces with Il Do...

and attacked me.

Prosecutors are investigating me.

I did join his team,

but I did not plan this.

Don't lie.

Why did you decide to join Il Do?

You told me to leave her side.

Il Do only happened to offer me a job then.

I told you to work on your father's constituency.

You didn't have to go to Il Do.

Isn't it your dream...

to make either your son or daughter President?

I wanted to...

make your dream come true through...

him, if not Il Joo.

Is that why...

you gave him the information on my election?

I said that's not true.

And, I said don't lie.

You're the only one, who knows what happened back then.

I swear it's not me.

I don't care if you were behind it or not.

Take responsibility.

It's your duty...

as my former subordinate.

If I lose any votes or influence...

I will bury you.

- Let go. - Il Joo.

Even when Song told me you'd taken the papers...

I trusted you.

I even defied my father because I wanted to marry you.

I did all I could to keep you close.

I even tried to persuade him.

How could you stab me in the back?

Calm down. This was my plan.

I did this to stay by your side until the end.

What?

Because we tried to elope, your father doesn't trust me.

To regain his trust,

you have to treat me like a tool.

Slap me like you just did or put me behind bars.

Then your father...

will stop doubting our relationship.

Is that the only reason you decided to work for Il Do?

That's not the only reason.

I'll make a deal with the prosecutors.

I have something that will bring him down.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

If I told you, you wouldn't react the way you just did.

Your father would see through any act we put on.

Il Joo.

This is the only way we can stay together.

Trust me.

The vow we took...

I will never forget it.

The paintings you mentioned.

I bought them.

Thank you.

This means you have sided with us completely.

Power is so sweet.

People who were born into a well-off family don't realize it...

because they've had it all their lives.

But we know.

Both you and I...

clawed ourselves up and became the wives of great men.

Of course...

in two very different ways.

That is why we cannot stand it...

when others try the same.

After all we did to gain power...

we won't let anyone try to take it.

I know we are very much alike and that is why...

I gave you that information.

The fact, Shin was an ex-convict...

came in very handy.

All the money and information I gave...

I hope you don't forget this when you or your husband rise up.

I still have...

much to offer.

Yes. I know.

Your son also agreed to work for my husband.

Did he?

I talked him into it. He is such a good boy.

Then the condition that I drop the charges against Shin...

Was that your idea?

What do you mean by that?

Your good boy made a deal without your consent.

There is a connection between them, right?

Does Shin, Il Joo and your son know each other?

I have a condition.

Your wife sued a maid...

named Shin Eun Soo. Let her go.

Il Joo.

This is the only way we can stay together.

Trust me.

The vow we took...

I will never forget It.

What's going on...

between you two?

Betrayal means to break one's trust.

It's when I opened up my heart...

and the other person deceived me.

That's not love or friendship.

Il Joo.

To be honest...

the night you couldn't reach Hyeong Woo...

he was with me.

Was he?

It wasn't a social visit.

He told me to quit my job here.

He brought up the past...

and told me I made him sick.

He told me to get lost.

That was rude of him.

But...

the day I told you of my troubles...

Why didn't you tell me then?

You can't tell anyone...

what happened today.

The minute you do...

I'm dead.

To me, the past...

is something I wish to forget.

When Hyeong Woo said that...

it wounded my pride...

more than my heart.

I just couldn't tell you.

So that's why...

he didn't take my calls.

Very well. You can go.

You didn't seem to enjoy lunch,

so I mixed it a little differently today.

Not bad.

Turgenev's "First Love".

I read it.

- I see. - One phrase stuck me.

"Dear son."

"Fear a woman's love."

"The blissful happiness."

"Fear the poison that slowly spreads."

I loved someone like that once.

I didn't think it was poison then,

but I loved my husband.

He embezzled...

two million dollars from his company and then died.

And because of that I ended up in prison.

What a sad story.

How do you know my husband?

Did you really have him killed?

What for?

But...

why are you telling me all of this?

Reading "First Love" just reminded me.

For some reason I thought that...

you would understand.

Congresswoman Kang asked Munjeong Church's Reverend Nam...

to gather his congregation...

for 100,000 dollars in cash, didn't she?

It wasn't her.

I handed him the money.

Please don't lie.

We have a witness who saw Kang give Nam...

a bottled drink box filled with 50-dollar bills.

Kang thought it...

really was a box of bottled drinks.

I deceived her...

and packed it with cash.

Very well.

What about the two expensive watches and the money...

that went to Nam's wife?

Did you give her those too?

What do you mean?

What watches?

That wasn't you?

Nam's wife has confessed, you see.

That Kang gave her two watches and cash in person.

Sir.

You'll never get promoted working on small cases like this one.

Would you care for...

a slush fund worth tens of millions of dollars?

I can make you a star prosecutor.

Tens of millions in a slush fund?

Jin Hyeong Woo.

Stop yapping and answer me.

Do you know about the watches?

Hey! Come back!

Why...

Get out.

What did you do to Hyeong Woo?

What do you mean? Why are you doing this to me?

Don't pretend you don't know, you freak.

First you killed my husband...

and now you're after my son?

What have I ever done to you?

Ma'am, I really don't know what you're talking about.

What happened?

It's all your fault.

He got arrested attempting to get you out.

Because of you!

That's why I told you to get lost the day we met again.

Why are you doing this to him?

What did he ever do to you...

that he should be arrested?

What wrong did we do to deserve all this?

Why are you doing this?

Ma'am.

Sorry but I still don't know what you're talking about.

What did he do...

to help me?

Watches and 100,000 dollars in cash?

Yes.

Did you give her that?

- Yes. - Are you insane?

You claimed to be the cleanest politician ever.

You even bragged about not hiring any campaigners...

but you bribed a reverend and his wife?

For a few hundred votes?

I was desperate. You know that feeling.

The media was hounding me for inheriting a constituency...

from you.

And I won by a slim margin.

And this is your answer?

You're about to lose it all...

for the exact same reason Il Do did.

And people will talk about this forever!

What will you do now?

I have no choice.

Jin will have to take the fall.

It won't be that easy.

He might not get off with probation.

He could serve a prison sentence.

He betrayed my trust.

He has to pay.

He might refuse to.

I'll make sure he can't.

It seems...

your brother-in-law is involved.

Did your husband mention anything about it?

No, he didn't.

Why him?

When you called out of the blue...

I thought something bad happened.

My eldest son is now a chief prosecutor.

His minion was tipped off about something...

and would investigate Il Joo,

so my son decided to take the case.

It would have been nice to have known in advance.

It's not a big deal.

You have nothing to worry about.

My daughter-in-law is the cleanest politician there is.

Even if someone slanders her...

my eldest will take care of it.

I'm concerned, though.

You have a tendency to play a twisted game.

You call this a twisted game?

When you say don't worry, I worry.

When you say it's fine, it's not.

Why would that be?

Because you doubt people too much.

You retired from politics.

Trust people.

Not only is she your daughter, but also she's my daughter-in-law.

Arresting him is not an issue right now.

Do what you can to make him confess...

Why are you here?

What's so surprising about a son visiting his father?

Why did you bring that out? You'll get it all dirty.

An engraved celadon...

with intricate lotus patterns.

Isn't this a national treasure?

What do you think you're doing?

- It's priceless. - Even a national treasure...

would break when it falls.

Moo Hyeok, let's talk it out. What's the problem this time?

Father.

My wife will break if she falls.

She is very delicate.

Much more so than this vase.

Oh, Joon Hyeok.

Your wife's in the US.

Does she know you're seeing someone?

What are you talking about?

You don't know what love is,

but I think your wife does.

Don't hurt the people you love.

You'll pay for it later.

Try to be nice.

And stay away from my pretty lady.

Why are you here?

Is it really...

because of me?

Did this happen because you betrayed Il Joo for me...

and joined forces with her brother?

- Who told you that? - Why did you do that?

I'm not worth it.

It's not about you.

It's about me.

Listen carefully.

The house you work in...

is way worse than you think.

The reason I was hurt before and am here now...

is because of reasons you could never imagine.

What's going on?

Does that code...

have something to do with it?

I told you to forget about that.

Trying to find out about that will get you in trouble.

Your family, your daughter might end up in danger.

Eun Soo.

Why do you think I hurt you...

to make you quit your job?

It was to protect you.

You must never be in that house.

Please, just stop asking...

and leave that place.

If you cared for me 15 years ago...

do as I ask.

However hard you try...

you can't protect me.

I'm a person, not a bird.

I can't leave my father.

Eun Soo.

There is...

no such thing as legends anymore.

Sorry but according to our rules,

you can't see him today.

Someone came by already.

Who?

Shin Eun Soo.

Don't you know who she is?

You can let them meet in the lounge.

How do I look?

Not as grand as actors on TV.

Did you see your father-in-law?

Something's off.

Your brother-in-law is involved...

and they knew about the watches.

It's like there's a plot...

I wasn't expecting.

Mr Jin.

I've never seen any watches.

I don't have a religion so I have no reason to meet a reverend's wife.

You planned everything from the start.

Take care.

I doubt...

I will visit you in here again.

Take the fall.

I will look after your mother.

I will look after your son.

How do I look?

When it's midnight, tonight like all nights...

I will grab onto your leg.

I will grab onto your chest...

and relish it.

Oh, your beautiful name.

Chi-be. Chicken and beer.

I suck my fingers...

and call out.

- I like sauce, it sounds better. - Excuse me.

This isn't a poem.

You can't talk about sucking fingers.

Haven't you eaten fried chicken with sauce?

When you lick the sauce off...

your fingers, I'm trying to portray that emotion, that feeling.

I lost my train of thought.

Thin sheets, white fabric.

It folds then spreads.

Hang on.

That's Cho Ji Hoon's "Buddhist Dance".

Is it?

There's so much in my head that it got jumbled up.

So...

Anyway...

Could I meet this Cho Ji Hoon?

We have similar tastes.

I think we'd get along famously.

He's dead.

Is he?

That is so heart-breaking.

He could've been the soul maid I so desperately need.

Oh, it's so sad.

Don't you mean someone you connect with?

I think you mean "soul mate", not "soulmaid".

Are you lecturing me?

No.

Come on, Honey, what I meant was...

Listen here...

What do you know about me?

If I say it is right, then it's right.

How dare you correct me.

I'm sorry. It was thoughtless of me.

Shut up!

Do you think I said "soulmaid" out of ignorance?

Who in the world can understand where I come from?

The maid here refers to a ghost writer like you...

who grovels and yet sponges off my pure...

and heightened emotions.

You are so intellectually superior.

If you understand, leave.

- I apologise. - Out, you idiot!

I bought you those clothes.

Leave them behind.

Have a nice day, ma'am.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

(UNKNOWN NUMBER)

Hello?

Did you find the book?

I want to...

quit doing this.

What do you mean?

Why should I...

do as I'm told, like a puppet?

Who are you?

If you have a good reason, show yourself so we can talk.

You already entered the game.

You can't quit now.

- Look for the book. - Hey.

I don't want to know why my husband died.

I struggle as it is without having to do as you told me.

This could put your daughter in danger.

What?

Who are you?

How dare you threaten her.

I'll keep an eye on you.

Hey, you jerk!

Show yourself!

Don't hide yourself behind a phone.

If you call yourself a man, talk to me in person.

Hey!

Are you upset?

No.

My lawyer called me.

It seems...

Hyeong Woo confessed to everything.

Good.

Before being a politician, as a woman...

I liked him a lot.

That's why I wanted to marry him.

But those emotions mean nothing.

I guess I am your daughter.

My heart...

has frozen solid.

I know how you feel.

I was in love once.

When his father died, it was like hell for me.

It felt like I lost an arm..

To win the war I was facing.

If we keep losing people,

who will be left?

If I ask for their help again,

will they be loyal to me?

Don't you worry.

Hyeong Woo's...

more considerate than you think.

If he can quell his ambition, he will make a great aide.

I feel better because...

I think you have grown a little through this.

Don't drink too much.

It's not good for you.

(SHIN EUN SOO)

Something smells sweet.

I guess you two are really in love.

Yoo Kyeong.

Have you been seeing your mother?

No, Auntie.

I don't even know where she lives.

Then, why is it so hard to see you in the evenings?

Why are you looking around?

It's okay to see your birth mother.

I never stopped her. I don't care at all.

"I never stopped her. I don't care at all."

As if.

You care for your kids who are abroad,

but you don't care for the one you live with.

Am I wrong, you evil stepmother?

What a scoop.

Taepyungyang Daily?

Your father-in-law owns that paper.

My goodness.

You gave her two expensive watches?

Are you that rich? Give me one.

My election was annulled because I gave 10,000 dollars to In-laws...

to hold a lovely banquet.

You're worse, you even made Jin take the blame.

Wow. I'd still be in politics if I had an aide like him.

What is it, Father?

The lunatic...

Hello, Honey.

No, you're mistaken.

You're wrong.

Moo Hyeok got it all wrong.

What? Photos?

They were photoshopped.

Why would I be in Singapore?

Hyeong Woo.

Look at the state you're in.

How could she do this to you...

after all you did for her?

What did Kang's lawyer say? Why can't he get you out?

I might be in here longer than we thought.

I'll be sent to prison.

Did he do...

the same thing to you that he did to your father?

I was expecting this.

He can't do this.

I won't sacrifice you, too.

I won't just sit back and watch this time.

Unlike my father, I'm still alive.

Do you want me to do nothing until it's too late?

They haven't yet paid for his life.

I can't let you suffer for years in prison.

- Mother. - I can't do that.

I will protect you.

Mother, please don't.

You don't know how a mother feels.

Why should you suffer?

You served them so faithfully.

(THE MINUTE YOU QUIT, YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS CHILD AGAIN.)

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

Aren't you Mi Rae's mother?

Where is she?

Where did she go?

She was right here.

Mi Rae.

Mi Rae.

Hyeong Woo's father...

Even after he died,

I never complained to you.

My husband served you faithfully,

and so did my son for your daughter.

How could you do this?

Do you want Hyeong Woo...

to follow in his father's footsteps?

What did he do wrong?

He took the fall for Il Joo so she could clear her name.

Now is the time for you to protect my son.

You have the power...

to get him out of this mess.

That sounds...

a lot like a threat.

I'm not threatening you. I'm begging.

If I lose Hyeong Woo...

I will be left with no reason to live.

(UNKNOWN NUMBER)

I'll do whatever you want me to.

I just want my daughter back.

Please give her back.

The number you have dialled does not exist.

Please check and dial again.

My... Mi Rae...

Mi Rae... Mi Rae...

Mi Rae...

What are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be at work?

Mi Rae. Mi Rae...

Where were you?

Where did you go?

Oh Kwang took me to have a steak.

Why didn't you ask my permission?

I took her out because she asked.

It's true.

He came by at lunchtime and I said I wanted a steak.

I get yelled at for buying her lunch?

Mum, why are you crying?

Is it because I left without telling you?

Don't cry. I'm sorry.

It's fine. I'm crying because I love you.

Because I'm glad...

that I have you by my side.

Young reporters these days don't do as they're told.

He wrote that article knowing that she's my daughter-in-law.

If I fire him, the labour union will complain...

I told you not to play a twisted game.

I heard you visited the Blue House.

Did you attack Il Joo...

to give my son the upper hand?

What are you talking about?

There's no duping you, is there?

Il Do is in charge of the Woonkang Foundation.

Didn't the President give the go-ahead?

The President dislikes Il Joo and could've sided with Il Do.

But you got the rest wrong.

Unlike you, I have emotions and a heart.

My son and daughter are equally precious.

Shouldn't you love and protect your daughter-in-law?

You know I...

My daughter...

was and is clean.

Publish a correction and apologise in print.

I don't believe this.

I lost this time.

I thought I had the upper hand.

- How much do I owe you? - Pay me by printing

she didn't violate any laws.

Hyeong Woo.

Welcome.

I think my wife buys my suits here.

What is her name?

Congresswoman Kang Il Joo.

Oh, you must be her husband.

Did you find fault with any of our suits?

Oh, no.

I quite liked one of the suits I got as a gift.

Could I get one like it?

I think this is where she comes for my suits.

She does. Would you like a printout of her purchases?

It might be very long. Would you mind?

(PURCHASES)

I read in the papers...

that you two dated for three years.

So I went back exactly three years.

Over the last three years...

she got me...

eight suits, I see.

I actually doubted you.

I thought you'd betrayed me to join Il Do,

and so...

I tested you.

I'm sorry.

I told you already.

I'll keep our vows.

I will do all I can...

to make your dream come true.

Without...

any distractions?

Don't you trust me?

Page 67.

First line, third letter.

Out of love and respect for you,

I created our own written language.

Cheong Mi.

What are you doing?

I asked what you were doing.

I was dusting the shelf...

and a few books fell.

Oh. Wait, Jin.

You got out.

Yes, I did.

What a nice suit.

I like the design.

I heard you took the fall for my wife.

I want to thank you.

You're welcome.

Do all aides go to prison...

for the people they serve?

Or are you exceptionally loyal...

to them?

Congresswoman Kang did nothing wrong.

I need to see Mr Kang. Do excuse me.

Thank you.

For getting me out.

I should thank you.

For taking the blame for Il Joo.

I knew you weren't a schemer.

You can work with her again.

Then...

what about your son?

As you can guess, I support Il Joo.

Il Do isn't President material.

I would support Il Joo until she achieves her goal,

but time never stops.

And it never returns.

I need you to help her for me.

Yes, sir.

I owe a lot to your father.

And to you.

I confirmed this with Han.

It seems that Jin loved her...

as a teenager 15 years ago.

They grew up in the same house.

So he asked Il Do to release her...

because of their past ties?

It seems so.

No one can find the stolen motorcycle...

I even went through her garbage,

but I found nothing.

I think she has nothing to do with the man...

who was looking into Blue Beauty.

You are wrong.

She's now approaching me intentionally.

What happened to you?

Show up in my dreams and tell me.

Why did you take a picture with him?

What are these letters?

Hyeong Woo. You got out?

Why won't you listen?

I told you that you can't be here.

You saw what happened to me.

Something even worse could happen.

Talk to me, then.

Don't keep saying something even worse could happen.

The strange code.

You know what it means.

I told you to forget about that.

I need to know.

That code ruined me...

and my whole family.

I can't just quit like this. No, I won't.

Will you stop being so stubborn?

You know I'm stubborn.

Please. Please do as I say, Eun Soo.

If you won't tell me...

I will find out.

I have my reasons.

Hey. Get me another glass.

Hey.

You should've found work at a cocktail bar.

How did you end up here?

- You look cheap. - You are drunk.

That's enough.

Can't you even dress properly?

Il Do. We are in Hawaii.

Don't you feel the sun that is beating down upon us?

Whatever. I can't deal with your madness.

Thank you, madam.

- What's this? - You gave me a handbag,

so I bought your book.

And I want your autograph, too.

What is the ideology behind this?

- Pardon? - Hey!

I came all the way to Hawaii to forget about that fool,

and you show me this?

Are you mocking me?

Are you trying to remind me of my ghost writer?

I wouldn't. Not at all.

Watch out, Il Ran.

She's a little minx.

- Someone looks out for her. - Who?

- Jin Hyeong Woo? - No.

It turns out...

she knew Il Joo in school.

What? That mutt?

Oh, really?

- Really? - Hey, lady.

Answer me.

Did you know Il Joo in school?

Yes.

Don't badmouth her.

She's your sister.

Even the helper talks back to me.

Lady.

I'm in a rotten mood.

I thought Hyeong Woo would serve me,

but he went right back to Il Joo.

After I pulled some strings to get you out!

Honey.

Do you think Jin and Il Joo...

planned all that to upset you?

To get her off the hook for hurting me?

You're right.

You mocked me.

Come here.

- What are you doing? - It's obvious.

I'm punishing you for hurting my wife.

- Come here. - Bye.

Come with me.

Stop it!

- Father. - What are you doing?

Don't touch her! She's not a sandbag!

- Don't lay hands on her. - Sir, please.

- Stop it. - Father, stop.

Hands off! Don't touch her!

Father.

Honey.

Who are you?

What are you?

Who told you to pretend to be Cheong Mi?

What... are you talking about?

Answer me.

What do you want?

Let go of me.

Tell me.

Who sent you?

Why are you in my house?
