Why would Eun Soo...

[Eun Soo]

Yes?

It's me.

Did you get home safely?

Yes.

How is Woo Joo?

Woo Joo

is sleeping with her Aunt tonight.

You must feel lonely by yourself.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm listening.

Oh, I thought our call got cut off.

Then...

Maybe he's tired?

[On a sunny day, with Ji Min]

[On a sunny day, with Ji Min]

I'll promise you.

It won't be quick

but I will approach you sincerely.

Without deceit

and with my whole heart.

What are you saying?

The chairwoman doesn't have any grandchildren.

No, she does.

She has a granddaughter.

Because you were so insistent, I looked into it, just in case she had some hidden grandchild.

But Chairwoman lives alone. Her family line has been completely cut off.

Eun Soo?

Eun Soo.

- Eun Soo! - Unni?

What is it?

You,

listen to me without being shocked, okay?

Your mother-in-law, Kim Ho Ran.

Your daughter is not with her, I heard.

Oh dear, what to do?

She took your child saying she will raise it well, but why isn't the child at her house?

So where is this child now?

I know.

I know that the child is not at her house.

You know?

How can you be so calm?

I would think you'd be running around looking for her.

Ji Eun Soo, your daughter disappeared.

Unni,

that child is

Woo Joo.

Who?

She was adopted by Ji Min.

Omo,

what are you saying... right now?

So... Woo Joo...

So why are you sitting here?

Your daughter who you missed so much is right in front of you.

You won't bring her to you?

What should I say?

That I wasn't there for her because I've been in prison for 10 years?

I'm confident in myself, but to everyone else, I've been convicted of murder.

But even if I died, I could not brand her

with the scarlet letter of the daughter of a murderer.

If you're so afraid of that, why are you hanging around Woo Joo?

You can't tell her that you are her mother.

I mean, to be frank,

since Woo Joo doesn't have a mom, she could need a stepmother...

Omo, you crazy wench.

How can you even think of that?

I know.

I'm appalled by what I've done.

But I wanted to be with my daughter, even by doing that.

Her biological mother?

Yes, as you can see.

Now what will you do?

Se Mi, you are about to lose that man, and your child, too.

But if I help you

things could turn out differently.

Send him a small gift.

And what happens after he receives that

will be up to you, Se Mi.

It's been a while.

What brings you here without even a phone call?

You should already know the reason.

Gosh, I'm not sure what you mean.

It was you who left this photo for me.

Yes, it was me.

So what about it?

Where did you get this photo?

Does it matter? Will it change the facts?

How about you change the question?

'Who is that woman?'

Isn't that why you came here?

If so, I will answer that question.

That woman

is Woo Joo's biological mother.

I saw the DNA Analysis report.

If you can't trust me, do another test yourself.

Do you understand now?

That woman approached you on purpose.

She played around with you so she can live with her daughter.

Don't speak carelessly about her.

What?

I understand your ulterior motive for having given that photo to me.

But don't expect to change my mind with tactics like this.

- Are you seriously protecting her? - Now that you understand me, I'll go.

I'll say it again.

Do not disturb that woman.

You came just to tell me that?

That woman used you. She doesn't love you, she deceived you!

That woman

is Woo Joo's biological mother.

That woman approached you on purpose.

Hello, I'm here to submit my application for the designer position.

Who is it?

You could hurt your hands. Let me do that.

I know, this hand is worth so much.

Rather than replacing your lock, I'd prefer to just replace your house. But you wouldn't let me, will you?

So at least let me do this for you. I'm doing it for my own peace of mind.

I'm apprehensive about letting you live here alone.

I'm done.

I'm always grateful to you.

No need. You don't have to grateful for anything I do for you.

But, Noona.

That woman used you. She doesn't love you, she deceived you!

No, never mind. I'll be going now.

What?

- You're leaving? - Bye.

How about dinner at my place tonight?

Sounds good. See you later.

This is me paying you back for the pork belly party last time.

- Ta-da. - We will enjoy the food.

- Eat a lot, Woo Joo. - Yes.

- You too, Ji Min. - Yes.

- Woo Joo, let me scoop that for you. - Thank you.

Ji Min, let me scoop some for you.

It's hot, so be careful. Please enjoy.

Oh, you got some food on you.

- Does it taste good? - Yes.

By now, that man will have found out everything.

Why Ji Eun Soo approached him, that is.

How did you... ?

Yes, it took me a lot of effort to find your son.

You even moved hospitals and hid him so well.

So you do seem to know how dangerous your actions are, huh?

You... I dare you to touch my son.

If your son's life is so important to you

then you should have done what I told you. Did you forget?

That you exchanged your son's life for having "taken care" of Eun Soo's daughter?

So think of this as karma for what you've done.

Get rid of him.

No. No! No!

Please... please...

Please let him live.

That's not what I want to hear from you.

Please... please let my son live.

I will do anything

you ask me to do, Chairwoman. Anything.

I'm not expecting much.

I'm just saying that if there is something you failed to do, it's not too late to do it.

I'd no longer like to see Eun Soo and that child together.

Can you carry out my request?

Yes, Chairwoman. Yes.

Please...

Take care of that boy well until Secretary Yoon arrives.

Hello?

I'll remove a piece.

Yay, it's still standing.

My heart is thumping...

Dad, I won again.

You did well.

What are you doing here?

It's quite worn out, isn't it?

Huh?

Yes.

It's quite old, that's why.

It's the blanket that my Woo Joo was wrapped in when we adopted her.

The truth is, my Woo Joo is adopted.

Looks like her mother wrapped Woo Joo in this blanket when she abandoned her.

No matter how many times I offer to buy Woo Joo a new blanket,

Woo Joo doesn't want it.

She says she sleeps well when she sleeps with this blanket.

Every time she says that, it pierces my heart and makes me angry.

What kind of parent

could abandon such a beautiful baby?

What are you doing here?

I was just talking with Teacher.

Hurry and come out. I found the movie I want to watch with Teacher.

Alright, let's go.

Don't speak carelessly about her.

I had such a great time tonight.

But what if Woo Joo doesn't like us dating?

If it's you, Eun Soo, Woo Joo will be happy.

Yes, then I would be so happy.

What did I just see?

Aigoo, look at that.

Is this... real?

You should have taken a clearer picture.

So this is really the woman that our Ji Min is dating?

I told you many times already. I saw it clearly when I was bringing him the food.

Really?

So this woman was saying to Oppa,

"But what if Woo Joo doesn't like us dating?"

So then he says,

"If it's you, Eun Soo, Woo Joo will be happy."

That's what he said.

Aigoo.

Oh, thank the heavens.

A spring wind finally blows in his heart

Goodness. Oh, wait.

This is not the time for me to be sitting here like this.

Where are you going?

Aigoo, I have to go and ask him right now what kind of lady she is.

Look at you. Do you not know Ji Min?

If you butt in like that

he will clam up right away.

Yes, Mom.

Leave this to me. I will find out.

I have a problem.

You always walk me home on this street,

so whenever I walk this street, I think of you now.

Why do you look at me like that?

I feel like you love me a lot.

Of course I do.

If I didn't, how could we have come this far?

Then, let's go further.

What?

Let's change our clothes, my pretty Eun Soo.

I'll do it.

I'm sorry. We can stop.

Why... ?

What's wrong?

For a moment,

I had a bad thought of wanting to test you, Eun Soo.

I wondered if your love for me was a lie.

Why... why did you think such a thing?

Who is this child?

You told me before

that you lost your child, Eun Soo.

Is this the child you lost?

It's alright. I'll help you.

Just tell me the truth, please.

Is this your daughter, Eun Soo?

I see.

Eun Soo,

is this child... Woo Joo?

Eun Soo? You didn't know that, did you?

If you tell me you didn't know that, I will believe you.

I will do that for you.

No.

I knew

that Woo Joo was my daughter.

So then, you knew and approached me on purpose?

Why... ?

To be with Woo Joo

I had to win your heart.

I wanted to be with my daughter, even by doing this.

Then the cherry blossom festival,

and the supermarket, and the convenience store...

... all those moments were planned?

And I had no idea and let myself be used like an idiot.

I had no idea and let my heart be swayed.

It's not your fault, Ji Min.

It's all my fault.

So let's say you deceived me. Fine.

But how dare you mess with my daughter?

You're the one who abandoned her, so why are you doing this now?

No. Please let me explain everything.

Why I couldn't raise her

and how things turned out this way. I'll explain everything.

No.

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

Whatever your reasons were, you used such sordid methods to become my daughter's mother.

I am afraid of you and appalled by you.

Ji Min, Ji Min, please.

Never.

Never appear in front of us again.

The mercy that I can show you

ends here.

♫ Even if I take one step closer ♫

I like you.

I came to like you, Ji Min.

I know what you are afraid of, Ji Min.

I am the same.

But I decided to not hide anymore because I am afraid of getting hurt.

To be with Woo Joo

I had to win your heart.

I wanted to be with my daughter, even by doing this.

♫ How much more do I have to hope for you? ♫

♫ Because you can’t see me ♫

♫ behind you ♫

♫ I’m crying like this ♫

♫ I'm hurting, my love ♫

You came sooner than I expected.

Sit down.

It's fascinating, isn't it?

Every time you come to see me

I get a strange thrill.

Because it feels like I properly disturbed you.

So you did it, didn't you?

Indeed.

This is why I adored you so much.

You were bold, even more than my Ki Beom.

Look at you, even now.

Look at how you can hold your head high after having done something so terrible.

So did you think I'd get down on my knees in front of you or something?

You should have.

Back then and now, you should have begged me to let you live.

You really do misbehave so much.

If you just lived without any hope like I told you, then this wouldn't have happened to you.

So what will you do now?

Your naughty plans have been revealed to the world.

Don't worry.

No matter how much you struggle to take my daughter away from me

things will never go your way.

How will you do that? Will that man ever want to see you again?

Why? Are you afraid that he might?

Just wait and see. I will make sure that you see me

reclaim the spot of my daughter's mother

that you stole from me.

Tell Secretary Yoon that he's been working hard.

People don't change, it seems.

Let me give you some advice.

Don't trust Secretary Yoon too much.

Madam.

Why did you do that?

Madam, it's not like that...

Why couldn't you just let me

live a good life with my daughter? Why did you do this to me?

I had no choice.

You shouldn't say that to me, should you?

I'm sorry.

I had forgotten for a moment

that the man who tried to throw my daughter into a lake

was you.

The man who stuck by Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran

and trampled my life,

was you.

I'd like to never face you again until we are both dead.

[My Woo Joo]

Woo Joo.

- Teacher, you really can't come here anymore? - Huh?

Dad told me that you are busy and you can't tutor me anymore.

That's not true, is it? You'll still come to see me, won't you?

- Hello? - Why are you doing that, Dad?

I was speaking with Teacher—

Hello?

Woo Joo.

Please don't call Teacher anymore.

Why not?

She won't be coming to our home anymore.

So if you keep bothering her, she will have a hard time.

So from now on, don't call her

and don't meet with her. Understand?

But how dare you mess with my daughter?

You're the one who abandoned her, so why are you doing this now?

Whatever your reasons were,

you used such sordid methods to become my daughter's mother.

I am afraid of you and appalled by you.

- Ji Min, Ji Min, please. - Never.

Never appear in front of us again.

The mercy that I can show you

ends here.

Oh, Woo Joo So sorry, Auntie is late, huh?

Did you have a good day?

I'm sorry. Do you want me to buy you ice cream?

Woo Joo, do you want to put this on? It's new.

Doesn't it smell nice? You can have it.

I don't need it, Auntie.

Then maybe give it to someone as a gift.

Can I do that?

Of course.

- Why? Do you have someone you want to give it to? - Yeah.

- Who? - My art tutor.

Art tutor?

Is this your art tutor, by any chance?

- Art tutor? - Art tutor? - Yes. And,

the three of them even went camping together.

- Camping! - Is that true?

And that's not all. That woman...

What is it?

... she even went to their home.

- What? - And then what? What?

They invited her over and the three of them had dinner together.

Game over.

Ouch!

Why are you doing that? Really.

So it's not a dream.

No, it's not a dream.

It's not a dream.

Goodness, I prayed that a warm spring wind would blow in my son's heart.

But it looks like things were hotter than the asphalt ground in the summer.

Hold on. Hold on. But that art tutor,

could we see her somehow?

I asked you to never come to see me.

I'm sorry.

I am really sorry.

So, you want me to forgive you?

No. I didn't come for that.

If only I could help you hurt a little less...

Yes, it's true.

I was too greedy to become my daughter's mother.

So I was desperate. But,

all those moments between us,

they were not all lies.

It's true.

I guess I appeared very naive to you.

Maybe you thought I'd change my mind if you told me this.

Please go.

She was taken from me.

I didn't abandon her.

If I did, I would not be able to appear in front of my daughter again, like this.

Then where have you been for the past 10 years?

What is it?

Now you have nothing to say?

[My Woo Joo]

Don't even dream about becoming Woo Joo's mother now.

You may have given birth to Woo Joo

but you do not have the right to be her mother.

[A Channel]

You are looking into Artist Kim Hyang Gi, I hear?

Yes.

Why?

Because it's a bit strange.

There is no information about that artist that has been made public.

So her skills and talent have not been verified. But Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran is paying such high prices to buy them—

Perhaps

are you thinking that it's money laundering?

I can't say there is no possibility of that—

You! How can you do that to Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran?

Do you know what kind of person she is? There is no C.E.O. who is more respected than she is, in all of Korea.

Do you know how much she donated to charity last year?

So why are you always trying to bring her down?

She's actually your savior.

My savior?

What?

Oh, I wasn't supposed to tell you about this.

The truth is

I heard that Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran is the one who got you that foreign correspondent position 10 years ago.

What? What are you saying?

I was shocked to hear that, too.

In any case, she showed you favor.

- Are you certain? - Yes, I am certain.

Yes, I heard it officially from the Headquarters Director.

Who is going to interview Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran today?

I'm going.

I'll go in your place.

- Where is Hyun Bin? - In the parking lot.

Make sure to thank her properly.

[D.O Cosmetics - Gallery]

All of the profits we gained from the Environmental Love Art Festival

will be donated to environmental protection organizations.

And with our first-ever art festival

we plan to continue such annual events promoting environmental protection.

If you don't have any more questions, we will end it here.

May I ask you a personal question?

Go ahead.

Why did you sponsor me?

I did that?

I heard that you are the one who had me sent on a foreign correspondent assignment 10 years ago.

I enjoyed my position, thanks to you.

But I am curious, why did you do that for me?

At that time, I lost my son and suffered a lot.

And it made me look around myself a bit more.

So from that time, I began doing a lot of volunteer work and supporting many talented people.

It appears that you were one of those talented people.

Then we will end it here.

Let's go, Chairwoman.

Thank you.

What are you so deep in thought about?

I suddenly thought about a story I wasn't able to complete from 10 years ago.

What was it?

The murder of Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's son.

Oh, that's right.

You got that foreign correspondent assignment while you were working on that incident, Seonbae.

That's right.

And it turns out, she's the one who got me sent on that assignment.

Go on in first.

Seonbae? Where are you going?

After examining the visitor logs from when Ji Eun Soo was in the detention center

Reporter Kang Ji Min from earlier today did attempt to visit her 10 years ago.

Things are becoming peculiar.

So Eun Soo's daughter was adopted by that reporter from back then?

- Detective Kwon? - Aigoo,

who is this now?

Reporter Kang. I've been missing you since you changed to the Culture Department.

Coming back to the Local News Department?

I adore my little daughter too much to do that.

If I work at the Local News Department, I can't ever see her.

She is still a daddy's girl, I see.

In any case, what brings you here?

That case regarding the son of D.O's Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran...

I was researching that case a long time ago, and there's something that was bothering me.

That case was closed 10 years ago. Even if something bothered you, what could you do about it?

Isn't that why I'm here asking you for help?

So what can I do to help you?

I want to meet the main culprit of that incident.

Well, the main culprit was... the daughter-in-law?

Sender: Kang Ji Min Seoul, Seongbuk-Gu

How does it feel?

How does it feel getting caught after playing around with Ji Min?

I never imagined that you would be Woo Joo's biological mother.

No wonder.

I did think that you were excessively bad at knowing your place.

I hope that you won't make an even bigger mistake in the future.

Because you must be more afraid than anyone that Woo Joo may find out.

Seeing how you suddenly came to see me

perhaps you found a way to doing what I requested of you?

Actually, I came to tell you that I can't do what you requested.

What?

Please stop trying to separate Ji Eun Soo and her daughter.

And please stop having Ji Eun Soo followed.

If you don't stop, you could get hurt, too, Chairwoman.

Are you threatening me right now?

Why? Maybe you recorded me or something?

You can try it, but you will never drag me down.

Because you are the one who killed Eun Soo's daughter, not me.

You were blinded by your son's hospital fees, which is why you did it all.

I knew that you would blame me for everything, like this.

So I prepared something that you could never escape from.

Give it a listen, because it's not your voice.

Just what could be recorded in here,

aren't you curious?

[Ji Min]

The recipient cannot answer the phone, so please leave a voice mail...

How do you like it?

Doesn't this change things a bit?

Why?

Why do you always think you're holding all the cards?

Do you have evidence?

I've also been looking into your background recently,

and I ended up with such a fun item in my hands.

Now, it looks like we both have something we want to protect.

Hello?

Reporter Kang Ji Min?

Yes, that's me.

I have information to give you about Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

May I ask who is calling?

Please meet with me.

I believe that you can help Ji Eun Soo, Mr. Reporter.

What is your relationship with her?

I will tell you when I meet you.

Yes, let's meet for certain.

I will call you at this phone number when I am done with work.

Yes.

I can't trust you, Kim Ho Ran.

Chief Hwang, there is an item I need you to get.

The recipient cannot answer the phone, so please leave a voice mail...

... so please leave a voice mail...

I am at the cafe near your home, Ji Min.

I am Director Kim Jeong Kwon from J Entertainment.

I sincerely appreciate all of you for coming here.

I will begin introducing the main actors to you.

[Voice Mail from Ji Eun Soo]

[Director Kim Jeong Kwon's Next Project]

[Ji Min]

Dad.

I'm having such a hard time.

Hello?

What do you think you're doing now?

Are you trying to con me? I said we should never meet again, did you think I was joking?

I know, Madam.

I know how bewildered you must be feeling right now.

But please trust me and wait just a little while. I will reveal the whole truth

and I will tell you.

No,

if you're that confident, then I must hear it now.

Where are you?

[Voice Mail from Ji Eun Soo]

First voice mail message.

I am at the cafe near your home, Ji Min.

I came to tell you about everything that happened.

I will wait for you.

What brings you here?

What about you, Eun Soo...

Is this a coincidence? Or something you planned to make it look like a coincidence?

I came to meet with someone.

Why did you wait for me?

You asked me,

where I was for the past 10 years that I wasn't there for Woo Joo.

I was in a situation in which I couldn't do that.

What situation was that?

For 10 years, I...

... prison...

Are you okay?

I ask for this favor.

♫ I love you, I don't love you ♫

♫ Stuck in between ♫

♫ Now wherever I look ♫

Lie After Lie ~ Preview ~

It was you, wasn't it?

It seems there is always misfortune all around you, Eun Soo.

Would your daughter remain safe? How about handing over my granddaughter to me?

Her name was Woo Joo, wasn't it?

Shut that mouth of yours!

Don't worry. Woo Joo is meant to come to me.

I don't want Woo Joo to be in danger because of you.

I don't need to be Woo Joo's mom.

Please just let me be by her side.

No, please just let me see her once in a while.

That man, Yoon Sang Kyu, he used to work as Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's secretary.

Kim Ho Ran's secretary?

So he was the informant who called me.

What is your relationship with Yoon Sang Kyu? Why did he ask me to help you, Eun Soo?

How did this happen to you? What did Secretary Yoon find?

What is it that you are trying to hide?

So he did have something, huh?

I found out everything.

But I want to protect my child, too.

I will help you. I'm on your side, Noona.

Detective Kwon, please send me the information about the victim right away.

♫ To me ♫
