Original subtitles

Hello?

- Did you arrive? - Yes.

Go inside the station right now.

Go inside the station.

Keep walking.

Look behind you.

Turn around and keep walking towards the station.

Go up the stairs to your right.

Go up the stairs in front of you.

Stop and look back. Do it quickly!

Continue going up the stairs and don't do anything reckless.

Are you okay?

That's him. Get him.

Get him.

(EPISODE 12)

Mr Jin.

Come with me.

I heard you and Eun Soo used to date.

Yes, when we were young.

But it was a long time ago.

You know about what happened to my father.

I'm aware of that.

I need you to keep an eye on that woman.

What do you mean?

I don't think it's a coincidence that she came to work in my house.

She must be working for someone.

She's working for someone?

Yes.

I want you to look into it.

Why are you asking me to do this?

She won't suspect you.

Mr Cho will stand out if he tries to do something...

and he won't be able to find out her intentions.

Are you asking me to stop what I'm doing...

and keep an eye on her instead?

That won't do.

I'll set up a day for you to approach her.

When that day comes,

find out who she's working for and why she came into my house.

Sir, but Mr Jin is...

He's gone.

Did Hyeong Woo see you at the station?

I don't think he did.

Then there's a possibility that he saw you.

I wonder...

Did Hyeong Woo and that woman plot this together from the beginning?

Or...

was that woman simply just a pawn?

If that's the case,

her life must be at risk.

Eun Soo.

I wanted to ask you something.

Are you...

It's my mum. Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello?

Eun Soo, can you hear me?

(CALLER ID UNKNOWN)

That's absurd.

That man can't be Hyeong Woo.

He tried...

to save me numerous times.

What are you doing over there?

Did you eat?

Eun Soo will be eating with us from now on.

Go sit next to Hyeong Woo.

Sir, I'll just eat in the kitchen.

Do as I say.

Father, she's not a part of this family though.

Father,

how can you let a maid... I mean, a secretary eat here?

That's ridiculous.

Do you think I helped you to get this far so you can talk back to me?

We have three people sitting here that aren't a part of the family.

Have a seat.

Yes, feel free to sit.

I can't believe this.

Eun Soo hasn't been a secretary for that long...

but she already gets to eat with them.

Don't get all worked up.

Even when I was Mr Kang's assistant,

I ate here while Mr Jin ate with them.

I think I would choke if I had to eat with them.

This is awful.

Now that Eun Soo is Mr Kang's secretary,

she's in for a treat.

Wouldn't Mrs Kang be on our side, though?

Where did she sit?

She sat at the very end.

That means Mrs Kang still has more power.

Did everyone forget about the contract?

How dare you gossip about them?

Eun Soo, why aren't you eating?

- No, I am. - Don't feel uncomfortable.

Don't mind us while you eat.

You might get indigestion.

You're scary when you're being nice.

You're making her feel more uncomfortable.

Eun Soo, you don't need to come to work tomorrow.

I need to go somewhere and I'll pick you up on the way.

Where are you going, Father?

I can go with you if you're going somewhere far.

I think you were right.

How could he...

let someone like her join us at the table?

I know.

She might end up becoming a part of the family.

- That won't happen. - It's possible.

Both Il Joo and Madam Han...

treat her graciously now.

If that's how things are going, we need to play along as well.

What?

Are you saying that we need to get on her good side?

No, let's just play along for now...

and take her down later.

Mr Kang...

has really fallen for Eun Soo.

He said so himself.

He said that Eun Soo reminds him of Cheong Mi.

When he completely loses his mind,

that will be our greatest opportunity.

Hyeong Woo.

As long as you can control Eun Soo's feelings,

you'll be able to find the funds that Mr Kang is keeping overseas.

We need to use her...

in order to accomplish our goal.

Control Eun Soo's feelings? What do you mean by that?

When you were hurt last time,

I saw the way Eun Soo looked at you at the hospital.

I'm positive...

that she still has feelings for you.

Are you trying to use me?

I am your son!

There's no need to get worked up. You don't have to do anything.

Eun Soo will come to you.

Look at Il Joo for example.

She's blinded by love.

Don't tell me...

that you have feelings for Eun Soo.

I'm just afraid that 15 years of work will be wasted.

If Il Joo finds out...

It won't hurt to have several possibilities.

Il Joo, Il Do, and Eun Soo.

If one fails, we can always switch to another person.

This is a risk worth taking.

I heard that your husband died...

and you're raising your child by yourself.

Mr Jin told me to give this to you.

No one will find you here.

Why?

Why are they doing this to me?

The code you saw.

Actually, that wasn't my father's slush fund.

It was Mr Kang's money.

I wanted to reveal the truth about Mr Kang's finances.

And I wanted to clear...

my father's name.

(HYEONG WOO)

I can't live with him anymore.

I want a divorce.

I thought I warned you.

It's not because of Hyeong Woo.

I just can't stand Moo Hyeok.

I can understand that he tried to kill someone.

I told myself that he did that out of jealousy.

But do you know what he did to me that night?

He tried to rape me.

My skin crawls whenever I see him.

How can I live with someone that I'm so terrified of?

Do you think I put up with Il Do's mother because we got along?

I cheated on her but we stayed married...

for over 30 years.

That is why...

I am who I am now.

Father.

You can't accomplish anything if you don't make sacrifices.

Politics is about siding with your enemies.

You must learn to cope with it in order to survive.

That is...

your destiny.

The PIN you have entered is invalid. Please try again.

(PETITION FOR DIVORCE)

The title is "Darn it".

One autumn night,

I got tired of waiting and removed my makeup.

Then my boyfriend surprised me all of a sudden. Darn it!

I got married when I was 40 because I was tired of waiting.

Then my true love appeared in front of me. Darn it!

I cursed and turned away from him, knowing he didn't want to leave...

Are you crying?

- No. - It's fine.

You don't have to explain.

I also cried when I wrote this poem.

I can't believe our emotional intelligence is at the same level.

You told Mr Kang that you want a divorce?

Yes.

Il Joo.

This isn't just about you. It's different than marriage.

Your political career will be over if you get a divorce.

- So what? - Listen to yourself.

Your father won't just let you give up on becoming the president.

Even now,

you only see me as someone running for president.

Please get a hold of yourself.

You need to think rationally.

Stop acting like an emotional teenager.

Your life is at stake here!

You have no idea what I went through.

You took on that burden the day you got married.

That night,

he tried to assault me.

Do you know what kind of a man I married in order to save you?

Do I have to go through all of this by myself?

- Il Joo. - I'll do as you want.

I'll try to endure it, even if it crushes me.

Father.

What did you say to her that she wrote a divorce petition?

You tried to kill someone over something so trifle.

Of course she's scared.

I'd do the same if I were her.

A woman should be treated gently.

What you did to her that night...

isn't something a true gentleman would do.

Hey, catch this.

Do you even know what love is, Joon Hyeok?

You wouldn't know what true love is...

because you are involved with many women.

I only have eyes for Il Joo.

I got it.

I will go and have a talk with your in-laws, so calm down.

Didn't you hear what I said?

She wrote a divorce petition!

A petition by itself doesn't mean anything.

I signed more than 20 petitions when I lived with your mother.

If you treat her well,

she will change her mind.

You shouldn't be at ease right now.

If I get divorced,

I will tell that family...

that you made me spy on them.

Why is your phone turned off?

I tried to call you many times.

It ran out of battery.

Why are you here at this hour?

The day...

Il Joo saw you.

Did you really pretend to be Cheong Mi in front of Mr Kang?

Why are you asking me that?

Mr Kang is suspicious of you.

Eun Soo, if there is something you are hiding, you need to tell me.

I'm the only one you can trust in that house.

We need to share our information.

Leave me alone.

It's not your business.

Don't you remember...

what Mr Kang did to you?

He's capable of doing something much worse.

Please tell me everything you know.

Do you think it can be hidden,

just because I try to hide it?

- What do you mean? - It means I'm not hiding anything.

Go home.

(HYEONG WOO)

Why is your phone turned off?

I need to talk to you about something important.

Call me.

(CALLER ID UNKNOWN)

Pick up the phone. It's urgent.

Excuse me.

Can you make another copy of that please?

(YOOIL INDUSTRY, FIVE MILLION DOLLARS)

Five million dollars?

SCS.

Shin Cheol Soo.

Dad?

He had five million dollars...

and he didn't say a word to me about it.

If we just ran off with the money, none of this would have happened.

Are you from the countryside?

Do you visit your hometown often?

No.

I haven't for a while.

I wanted to start a farm here when I stepped down from congress.

Back then...

I thought I would be happy with just a small piece of land.

You have much more now.

I do.

But I still want more.

I don't think I will ever be satisfied.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

You always said that you would come live here...

but you didn't even come to visit.

What happened to the lady you used to come here with?

- She passed away. - What?

What a pity!

She was so young.

Are you the daughter?

You resemble her.

Do you still have that dish?

Are you talking about the pickled bean leaves?

I'll bring it right out.

You also seem to enjoy that.

People who see it for the first time say it looks like autumn leaves.

My mother made this for me when I was little.

She would pick them from other people's garden.

Other people's garden?

We didn't have our own garden.

I don't know much about you.

You probably know a lot about me.

Did you not attend college because of your financial situation?

Yes.

My father passed away when I was little.

My brother studies law at the university.

I had to support him financially.

Didn't you have any dreams?

Everyone has dreams, don't they?

When I was little,

I did.

But after my father and husband passed away,

I stopped dreaming.

I didn't have the luxury to dream...

because of their deaths.

I heard that you lived with Hyeong Woo...

when you were young.

Yes.

Do you meet him these days?

For personal reasons?

No.

We had some problems in the past.

Did you find out about them?

Yes.

The two of them used to be lovers.

Is that so?

I want you to keep an eye on the two of them.

Sir.

I have a lot to do.

I will get in trouble with Mr Il Do, if I don't do my job.

You know very well what he can be like.

If I tell people about you spying, that won't be a problem.

You don't want to end up like him, do you?

I will never forget...

what you did for us, Madam Han.

Leave the problem regarding Hyeong Woo up to me.

Let's fill our stomachs first...

and then come up with a tactic.

I will make sure that you are rewarded well.

I can give you much more...

than you expect.

That's great.

I seem to have a great ally.

In exchange...

Let's raise the stakes.

Don't tell me...

that you're satisfied by just being a congressman.

Then...

You should go beyond what your father has achieved.

I'll back you up with the funds you need...

for the presidential election.

- Can he really be the president? - Why not?

In the past,

even soldiers were able to become the president.

You can go home now.

Yes, Sir. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hello.

Keep me updated.

All right.

The moment you give up, you'll never see this child ever again.

Mum, you have a nickname now.

He said that your nickname is also Goose.

Let's go.

Eun Soo.

- What's wrong with you? - Don't ever come near Mi Rae again.

She's an innocent child.

Did you forget what I told you?

I told you not to play with strangers.

But he's not a stranger.

We went to the amusement park together.

He bought you a mobile phone and medicine as well.

People you know can be more dangerous.

Don't ever meet him again.

No, I'm going to meet him.

I like him.

Why won't you listen to me?

If you keep doing that,

you may never see me again. Is that what you want?

That's not what I want.

But I want to meet him, too.

Why won't you listen to me?

If I tell you to stop seeing him, just listen to me!

You're mean.

How could you say that when he's been so nice to us?

Don't make me feel worse.

Do you even know what happened...

when you called him last time?

Why won't you listen to me?

Why won't you listen?

What's going on?

Why are you yelling at her?

It's okay Mi Rae. I'm here now.

What's wrong with you?

Let's go inside.

Sir.

Eun Soo, wait outside.

Here is this month's expenses for the foundation.

We had a couple of special events...

this month that increased our confidential expenditures.

I put you in a difficult position...

because of the scarf I gave you.

I'm sorry.

I bought clothes for your daughter.

You didn't have to.

Please accept it.

There are many other things that I feel bad about.

Thank you.

Do I really look...

that similar to Cheong Mi?

No, Il Joo was just mistaken.

We used to work together, so I knew her very well.

Don't let that bother you.

They say...

that every cloud has a silver lining and now you're a secretary.

Yes.

If you ever need help,

don't hesitate to ask me.

There's no need to feel uncomfortable.

Eun Soo.

What are you doing tonight?

You came here because my husband called you?

Yes.

I thought he called me because of the container box incident.

I didn't know he called you, too.

You two came early.

Have a seat, Eun Soo.

Please sit.

What are you doing? You didn't say anything about this.

It's a surprise.

I heard...

that you three are friends from high school.

I asked you all to come because things have been a little awkward...

between us.

Above all,

I wanted to hear about my wife's high school years.

Shall we order some food first?

Excuse me.

- What's wrong with you? - Let go.

Why are you doing this to me?

I want to ask you that.

Because you are in danger.

Mr Kang asked me to keep an eye on you...

because he's suspicious of you.

You expect me to believe that?

What...

are you talking about?

I thought you were marrying Il Joo. Why are you doing this to me?

Please treat Il Joo with integrity.

She's been hurt a lot.

I don't ever want to see you again.

I heard you two have been friends...

ever since you were young.

Yes.

Don't you develop feelings for each other...

when you live together?

Especially since you guys were in high school.

Eun Soo and I...

briefly liked each other. That's all.

Eun Soo, do you feel the same way?

It's been a long time. I don't even remember.

I have a daughter now.

What does that have to do with anything?

Everyone has a past.

You can love someone to death and then break up.

Isn't that what high school crushes are like?

You don't even have a husband.

Why don't you start dating him again?

That's nonsense.

People say that your first love doesn't work out...

but wouldn't it be nice for the two of you to start dating again?

If the two of you become a couple,

we can go on double dates once every now and then.

Don't you agree, Honey?

Sure.

Why don't the two of you...

start dating again?

I have no intention.

You two can head back first.

I want to talk to Eun Soo.

Really?

Mr Jin, did you drink tonight?

- No. - Give me a lift home then.

Honey, don't stay out too late.

I'll be waiting for you.

Let's go.

I want to ask you something.

Go ahead.

As you mentioned before,

everyone has a past.

But very rarely...

does a person try to kill someone because of the past.

Does a human life mean nothing to you?

You didn't die, did you?

You got to spend time with your first love.

Wasn't that both sweet and endearing?

There is nothing for you...

to be jealous about Il Joo and I.

There shouldn't be.

I want to...

get along with you, Mr Jin.

Who cares about the past?

Right now,

you are my wife's right-hand man.

About...

what I said earlier.

- Did I offend you? - No.

I know how you and Hyeong Woo feel about each other.

You had no choice because of your husband.

I totally understand.

You're such a great friend.

I'm really grateful and lucky...

to have a friend like you.

I saw you and Hyeong Woo arguing...

when I went to the restroom.

Is something wrong?

Not really.

We're...

It's just...

Was it...

a lover's quarrel?

What are you talking about?

You're going to marry him.

I don't have feelings for him at all.

I don't like him. He scares me.

You don't have to be scared of him.

He's changed.

Don't you think so?

People change eventually.

He's still a great guy.

He's dependable, gentle and smart.

He's also considerate.

I honestly don't know if he's trustworthy.

You said you're going to marry him,

so I don't have a say in this...

but I hope you think long and hard about that decision.

What is it? Why are you so serious?

I just have a bad feeling.

Il Joo, I hope you will reconsider.

The closer you are to someone,

the less you may know about them.

- Yes, Ms Ko. - Eun Soo.

Where are you? Mr Kang is asking for you.

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Can you make me some bibimbap?

Does it taste okay?

Yes. It's delicious.

What are you doing?

Have you lost your mind?

He has to watch what he eats.

You should know that. You're his secretary.

Late-night snacks are forbidden.

I asked her to prepare it for me.

Pardon?

Sir, the doctor said that your health is...

Not being able to eat what I want is worse.

Are you going home?

Yes, Sir.

I think I ate too much.

I need some fresh air.

I will see you tomorrow, Sir.

Why...

I'm taking an evening stroll.

Did you think I was following you?

No, Sir.

(HYEONG WOO)

You don't look too well.

- Is something wrong? - Oh.

It's nothing, Sir.

Ivan Turgenev's,

"First Love".

"Fear love."

"The blissful happiness."

"Fear the poison that spreads slowly."

I keep thinking of that phrase.

Mr Kang.

Were you ever betrayed by someone you really trusted?

There were those whom I betrayed.

You don't know when you're in love.

Sometimes I doubted that love,

but...

when that person passed away,

that's when I realised about the sacrifice.

Love isn't something that should be feared.

Rather,

doubt is the real poison.

Sir.

May I ask for a favour?

Let's eat.

Our whole family's at the table.

We're all so busy with our lives that...

we don't get to eat together that often.

Eun Soo's the busiest of us all.

You worked at a hotel and had two part-time jobs in the past...

and now you're a full-time secretary.

It's nice to be together like this since I got the day off today.

Today is Father's memorial day.

Mum, let's go pay our respects.

Why should I?

It's your father's fault that my life turned out like this.

Thinking about that five million dollars still makes me upset.

- I'm busy today. - You're his son.

You should try to understand.

How can I understand him?

He was supposed to take care of us.

He became an alcoholic out of self-pity.

Watch your mouth.

He did his best until that happened.

Exactly.

He didn't have to get involved. Now look at us.

Everything he said is right.

Don't waste your time and energy.

Catch up on your sleep when you can.

Don't even dream of taking Mi Rae.

Her class is going to the zoo today.

Why don't you visit your hometown?

- Pardon? - Eun Soo will be going...

to her hometown since today is her father's memorial day.

I want you to check...

the people she meets with.

If possible,

try to find out what her intentions are.

Father, this is the drink that you used to enjoy.

Please have as much as you want.

Father, I am sorry.

I couldn't visit you often...

because life was hard.

I wanted to have a good life.

But it didn't turn out that way.

I am sorry.

I am sorry, Father...

Aunt, is Hyeong Woo sick?

He's back at his hometown?

Don't hold a grudge against anyone.

All of this happened because of my wrongdoings.

Promise me...

that you will never...

become a politician.

Please promise me.

I am sorry, Father.

I couldn't follow...

your wish.

I understand why you told me not to be a politician.

But there was no other choice.

I am sorry, Father.

I am sorry...

I am truly sorry...

Mum?

Are you drinking again in broad daylight?

Yes.

I went to visit Father...

and now I'm at our old house where we used to live.

Of course, it's still here.

Why are you crying?

Stop drinking and go home.

Okay. L promise we'll come here together next time.

Bye.

Should I tell them to call again?

I heard that Mr Kang caught up with them?

That means Kang Seok Hyun found out.

All that work for nothing.

What should we do now?

We should call it a day.

But do you really want to throw away all of our hard work?

We still need to walk away.

It'll be dangerous if we don't.

You have no clue what Kang Seok Hyun is capable of.

Then what about the girl?

She is no use for us now.

Get rid of her.

Take care of it well.

(HYEONG WOO AND EUN SOO)

- Eun Soo. - Don't come close to me.

Why are you acting like this?

Is it because of Il Joo?

Tell me why you're acting like this.

And if I tell you?

Are you going to kill me as well?

What did you say?

- Hello? - Ms Shin?

It wasn't you after all.

Eun Soo...

How could you...

I'm sorry.

I wasn't thinking straight.

How could I have doubted you?

How could I...

have...

doubted you?

Eun Soo...
