Original subtitles

Did you watch the show yesterday?

It was great. Did you see it?

The menu seems all right overall,

but please add more desserts.

Yes, ma'am.

And let's change the wine selection set for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday.

-Something that's not too strong. -Yes, ma'am.

Everything looks good.

Everything you told me that day.

I don't trust a word of it.

I'm going to keep suspecting you.

Bring me evidence if you want me to believe you.

Copying files

Red Swan

Why were you in there?

I was going to ask the butler something but she wasn't in.

The vice-chairman is looking for you. You should go to the second-floor study.

I will.

Come in.

Episode 4

Q1.

Seo Doyoon, was it?

Yes, that's right.

I'm asking because I really don't know,

but is a bodyguard supposed to do

something like that?

Meddle in their client's affairs

and hold them by force.

I'm sorry, sir.

Both of your safety is my priority.

Were you hurt by any chance?

Weren't you worried that you might be fired?

I know that I went a bit overboard,

but I thought you'd understand that it was for both of your safety.

I am rich,

but I don't boss people around.

Bossing others is embarrassing.

I got it. You may leave.

Go easy on me next time, all right?

I'll be heading out, sir.

Do it quickly.

Judging by the volume,

it looks to be around $700,000 to $800,000.

That's a billion in Korean won.

What could it be for?

It's too much money to be paying to have someone killed.

Siblings Oh Hyunsoo, Oh Wansoo

First son Kim Yongkook Lover Jang Taera

Late Kim Duo, Hwain's former chairman Park Miran, Hwain's current chairwoman

Did you want to see me, ma'am?

Why did you put…

Chanhee's belongings here?

I couldn't throw them out,

and I couldn't return them to you either.

I'll store them elsewhere. I should have put more thought into it.

Yes, you really should have.

Have Chanhee's stuff stored elsewhere

and throw out all the furniture in this room.

And keep this door locked.

What?

She must think I'm a joke.

Okay.

Do as she wants.

We've got plenty of rooms here.

Yes, ma'am. I will do that.

-Call Mr. Han over. -Yes, ma'am.

Did you want to see me?

Just as you've suggested,

I should have Yongmin become the new director of the foundation.

Wise decision, ma'am.

Do a good job convincing him so that he doesn't complain

that he's getting a useless title.

What about Director Oh then?

We'll have her resign.

Don't force it since public opinion might sway against us.

Yes, ma'am. You don't need to worry.

What do you mean, a resignation speech?

Mr. Han sent it over, saying that it was Chairwoman Park's order.

NOW FOUNDATION Resignation speech

What's going on all of a sudden?

Yongkook has a son out of wedlock.

Did you know about this?

I'm sure you did too.

Leak it to the tabloids.

Tell them that Hwain Group's Vice-Chairman Kim is having an affair

and has a 10-year-old son with the woman.

Tell all the tabloids immediately.

Are you going to divorce him then?

I won't divorce him.

I won't let them take away NOW Foundation either.

Then why tell the tabloids? We should be stopping any possible rumors.

Do you really want me to do it?

Ma'am.

You should see this.

What's this?

That darn…

Rumors of Hwain Group's Vice-Chairman Kim having affair and with love child

There he comes.

Let's go.

What's this? What's going on?

-Take us to the underground parking lot. -Yes, sir.

Here they come.

Excuse me.

Please wait.

Were you aware of this?

- Care to comment? - A word, please.

Is it true that he has an illegitimate son?

Are you aware that the photo of the mistress was in circulation?

A word, please.

Wansoo.

Director Oh Wansoo

Wansoo. Did you hear about the tabloids?

I'm busy. Get to the point.

I mean,

don't you keep up with the news?

Stop them.

I thought you'd be happy.

I have a face that people can remember from seeing just once.

I can't even go shopping anymore.

You should keep your neck straight and carry on with your life.

You think so?

Then should we just let them publish those tabloid articles?

We can't do that.

Do something.

-Me? -Yes.

Right. An interview.

You should do an interview.

-An interview? -Yes.

You called me over because of those tabloid articles, right?

You get out of here. I never asked to see you.

What do you mean? The article is about me.

My photo is plastered all over messengers in Korea.

Get out!

You, sit down.

Yes, ma'am.

Wansoo… No.

Director Oh has to do an interview, ma'am.

She's not only the daughter-in-law of the Hwain family,

but she's a celebrity.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Why you… I said get out. Get out of here!

Goodness.

We're looking for the source, but it may be difficult to find.

At times like these…

silence is the best solution.

You should stay out of the public limelight for now.

That's the best for all of us.

The stock prices of our five subsidiaries have plummeted.

-Darn it. -Why would that affect our stock prices?

Those darn apes.

You know how it is.

They want the group to be transparent in its management and succession.

Moreover,

the business world holds

Director Oh's business acumen in high regard.

Unbelievable.

Everyone must be worried

that she might end up divorcing Yongkook.

That will be all.

All of you, get out!

You head straight home.

Ma'am.

Please reconsider my resignation as the director of the foundation.

Hey.

It's not even been a minute since I told you

to stay out of the public limelight.

Do you think I'm a joke?

Quit your yapping

and keep your hands off the foundation

until things quiet down.

Just stay at home.

Schedule a press conference for tomorrow afternoon.

I'm sorry?

I'll report this to Chairwoman Park first.

Do that after you schedule it.

Or I can ask someone else to do that.

Yes, ma'am.

The next day

NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo Emergency press conference

What are you doing? It's almost time.

Let's go after I watch this.

We won't make it before tee time.

Dad hates it when people are late to golf.

It won't be that long.

What is it?

A live broadcast of Oh Wansoo's press conference.

-Because of those tabloid articles? -Yeah.

NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo Emergency Press Conference

Are rumors true that Hwain Group's Vice-Chairman has an illegitimate child?

Exactly.

Marriage of the century to end in divorce? Is Kim and Oh's marriage rocky?

She's been making waves abroad.

I've been following all the articles they write about her.

Is that so?

Whenever she ever travels abroad,

the entire country is rife

with articles about her.

Director Oh is the pride of all women in Korea.

Thank you.

The same goes for you too, Chairwoman Park.

Nonsense.

You flatter me.

Do you need to be somewhere?

Not at all.

What could be more important than to have a meal with you, Minister?

I'm a fan of yours.

No, the honor is all mine.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Of course.

Right.

The bathroom is over that way.

Hurry back.

Yes, ma'am.

You're such a philanthropist.

Me?

Not at all.

The chairwoman might be coming down with a fever.

You should get her a blanket from the car.

Yes, ma'am.

I need to get to a press conference.

You two are truly an inspiration.

You should head out the back door. I'll be right with you.

Is that so?

I'm sorry, but could you drive a little faster?

Sure thing.

What?

-She's not in the parking lot either. -Why you…

I guess she had somewhere to be after all.

Yes, it seems that way.

She's feeling a little under the weather.

I'm terribly sorry.

That ungrateful…

There she is!

NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo Emergency press conference

Hello, I'm Oh Wansoo.

This is my first time having to address such an issue.

It's already been over ten years since I retired from being a pro golfer.

I wanted to thank you for taking such an interest in me

after all those years.

Turn the TV on.

I've been living life as a common housewife,

but since news spreads so fast online these days

and reporters have been visiting me daily

at the foundation in which I work,

I had no choice but to make a public appearance again.

A lot of people…

seemed to be worried about my marriage.

There were talks of my husband having an illegitimate child

with a woman he was having an affair with.

My answer to such allegations…

…is a resounding no.

- She says it's not true? - Really?

Are you denying the rumors then?

There were even photos of his mistress.

Are you here today to refute the rumors?

I will tell you the truth.

The rumored illegitimate child you've all been hearing about…

is actually the son of my late father-in-law.

- What? - You know him very well.

The late Honorary Chairman Kim Duo is the son's father.

Why that little…

Has it been confirmed? Did you do a paternity test?

Then are the rumors false?

Is he really Honorary Chairman Kim's son?

I must beg you

that you refrain from taking too much interest in our family affairs

as of today.

That will be all.

Is everything you said here true?

Please give us a detailed explanation.

Is what you said true?

Please give us a word.

The late Honorary Chairman Kim Duo is the son's father.

She's totally nuts.

- Mr. Kim, turn around and drive home. - Yes, ma'am.

No, drop us off at the Grand Palace.

Quiet. Just drive us home.

What's with you, Mom?

We need to make a plan.

What will you do after you barge in there?

Why would we need a plan?

She's made me the concubine of a man in his seventies.

The press conference live stream will end shortly.

That was killer.

Wansoo must have lost it.

Dad?

We won't make it to golf today.

I won't have it. Come here at once.

Wait.

My mom would be fuming right now.

Dad wants us there immediately.

Sure. We should be there.

You're just going to go?

Hello?

You've just got a new brother.

I can't wait to see

the looks on Yongkook and Mom's faces.

Is this situation funny to you?

Here she comes.

A comment, please.

Please give us a word. A word, please.

Wait.

- Could you confirm your statement again? - A word, please.

Did you run a paternity test?

Please comment on today's press conference.

Incoming call My husband

The chairwoman has asked me to escort you home.

Let's go home then.

Yes, ma'am.

A moment, please.

Please wait.

I remember, this is the kind of person you were.

That's right.

Do you want me to compliment you?

Answer me!

So this is how I get screwed over.

That was the best option I had.

Just what is your goal in life?

To create a better world.

You've got to be kidding me.

I've lived a life where I was shunned by everyone.

It was cold and hungry.

Now, it's time for me…

to help them in return.

That's why you people never climb out of the rut you're in.

You bottom-feeders and your mentality.

Help with what? Why? Help who?

What's yours is yours and what's mine is mine.

You must consider yourself a saint.

But you know what?

All the money you're spending is mine, not yours.

I do more work for Hwain than your son.

I am the face of Hwain Group.

Hwain is mine!

You must feel like you've won today, don't you?

You really are a piece of work.

Resign from the position of NOW Foundation's director immediately

and never take any part in any of Hwain's business from now on.

If that's what you want…

I'll hold another press conference.

I'll tell the world

about the foundation and my role in it.

Your role?

What even is your role? Tell me.

I'd love to know what your role is.

The foundation is my everything.

I will make it a transparently run international organization.

Stop sullying my life's work with money problems, ma'am.

You…

Hold on a second.

Are you telling me

that you'll blackmail me…

using our slush fund?

You can ask the prosecution and the police for help,

but it won't be easy for you to stop the press.

You can't take away the foundation from me.

I won't sit around and let you.

You really must have lost it.

Listen carefully.

You have no one else to blame but yourself for everything

that is about to happen to you.

I understand.

As long as I can protect the foundation…

I'm willing to risk that.

Are you the same Seo Doyoon I know?

You need at least 10 security personnel before you hold a press conference.

On top of that, she left abruptly while she was meeting

with Chairwoman Park and the minister.

You should have told me at the least

and asked me to send more men to guard her at the press conference.

I'm sorry, sir.

Sir.

I'll be at the headquarters tomorrow morning

to monitor all of our CCTVs.

I'm the head of the RF team after all.

-Every one of them? -Yes, sir.

I want to stop the reporters from bothering the vice-chairman at work.

You don't need to worry about the vice-chairman.

He has me.

-Yes, sir. -What are you doing?

Are you trying to get ahead of me?

I wouldn't dream of it. I'm just trying to give it my best.

Goodbye, sir.

Hello.

You're the new head of the RF team, right?

I am.

Jieun.

Yes, sir?

Please bring my dinner to the annex.

Yes, sir. I see that your dinner was delayed quite a bit today.

My meeting with the chairwoman dragged out.

I'll have it served right away.

Right.

You're the new head of the RF team who guards Director Oh, right?

Yes. I'm sorry for the late introduction. I'm Seo Doyoon.

You must have your hands full.

Keep up the good work.

A few days later

It's huge, right?

Look at me.

There you go.

Let's head inside.

Say hello to Chairwoman Park.

Hello, ma'am. I'm Jang Junhee.

Sit.

Sit down.

I asked her to join us.

You created this family tree,

so you should treat her with respect as your other mother-in-law.

Yes, ma'am.

She has every right to live here

since she's my late husband's lover.

Show them to their rooms.

Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I mean, Miran?

I mean, Chairwoman Park.

Gosh, my head…

I'll leave you to it.

Junhee. Does Grandma scare you?

Just stick right next to Mommy, okay?

Where is my room?

I hope it isn't right next to yours.

I've prepared a much bigger room for you.

Please follow me, mistress.

Wait.

"Mistress"?

Why do you address me as mistress instead of madam?

I'll show you the way.

You go ahead, Junhee.

Mom, it's me.

Wansoo just addressed me as mistress instead of madam.

Why would she call me that?

What do you think she means by that?

She's calling you a concubine to your face!

What? She is?

Mistress is another word for concubine.

The woman a man has an affair and a love child with!

How could you not know that?

So she was mocking me?

I can't believe her!

Your clothes will be hung here, Junhee.

You should get changed into something more comfortable.

A concubine?

-How could you call me that? -Be quiet.

Mistress?

Do you think I'm some tramp?

How dare you call me a mistress?

There are so many other things you could have called me.

How could you call me a concubine right to my face?

Do you think I'm below you?

Junhee.

Why don't you wait out on the sofa?

Listen closely.

This is the only part of the house that you can call yours.

Don't even think of joining us at the dinner table.

Make yourself invisible.

Don't let me spot you anywhere inside this house.

Am I clear?

But I'm supposed to be your father-in-law's mistress.

Then I'm practically your mother-in-law…

Your second mother-in-law.

I don't think you get it.

Answer me.

Yes, ma'am.

Darn it! This is unbelievable!

I'm going out for a run.

Yes, ma'am.

What is it? Do you find me pathetic?

My husband's mistress moved into the house with their child.

You must be wondering what I'm thinking.

What is it that you want to protect?

Is it money?

I doubt there's any money in that house for me.

What is it then?

I took you to that press conference because I thought it could help you.

I thought it was a way for you to escape this family.

Did you think I'd announce my divorce

like the reporters expected?

You can only divorce someone

when you've married someone out of love.

My marriage was already ruined long ago.

Why are you protecting it

if it means nothing to you?

Just what is it that you want to protect?

Place your hand here to have it scanned.

It will be used by the bank to confirm your identity.

What do you mean, Father?

The details will be revealed to you when the time comes.

I am heartbroken…

about what happened to Chanhee.

Divorce must have…

crossed your thoughts,

but save it for later.

Much, much later.

Now is not the time.

There is something I must ask you

to do for me.

You know how much I trust you, right?

Please remain a member of the Hwain family until then.

I have to protect NOW Foundation.

Even to the point of risking your life?

If someone threatens my life

because of the life I lead…

I'd much rather have that than live wealthily while hiding…

and begging for my life.

Do you want to die that badly?

I'm asking you if you want to die.

Chairman Kim Duo did not die here at the Grand Palace.

Didn't I tell you

that the same person who killed my friend is now after your life?

It's not ISIS!

Someone in that house wants you dead.

What did you say?

Mr. L is coming?

A Korean policeman died a few months ago in our area.

Mr. L did that.

He has another gig in Manila today.

-Where in Manila? -Makati shopping district.

He'll be working alone.

A friend of mine who I considered a brother died.

I was there at the scene as he died.

But…

the police stopped investigating his death.

Although I volunteered to investigate it myself,

they didn't let me.

He left me some videos.

What videos?

The proof that Chairman Kim Duo did not die at the Grand Palace.

What?

My friend was investigating Chairman Kim's death,

so that would mean the person who killed him

is the same person who attacked you in Manila.

And you're saying…

that it's someone at Hwain?

Yes. Murder for hire.

The car is ready.

This is the Nomanee Sophi that the Chairwoman had us prepare.

It was bought at an auction yesterday for 150 million won.

You can deliver the wine, Ms. Yoon.

The chairwoman wanted you to deliver it personally.

We should go.

Director Oh Wansoo is here to see you.

You're here.

The chairwoman will be here any minute.

I was getting a massage. I just need to get changed.

Daniel.

Oh, leave that. Can you go fill up the bathtub for me?

Yes, ma'am.

You have a new butler.

He studied at the butler academy in Switzerland.

Did Mother send us the wine?

She apparently bought it for 150 million won at an auction.

That's 150 million…

My hand was slippery from the aromatherapy.

You should have been more careful.

It's shattered.

You're right.

It broke.

I can see that.

Have a seat over there. What tea would you like?

Earl Grey.

Daniel.

Can you get a cup of Earl Grey, please?

Yes, ma'am.

Are you okay?

I will clean it up right away.

Do we have the same wine in our cellar?

"Nomanee Sophi. Year 1986."

Yes, ma'am. We have it.

Oh, thank goodness.

Wansoo, I'll go and get changed.

Wansoo's here already. You need to get over here.

How should I know?

I'm so annoyed I don't even want to ask her about the press conference.

My phone wouldn't stop ringing because of that.

Okay. Hurry.

- You've come a long way. - Don't mention it.

I should visit more often.

The wine is a gift from my mother-in-law.

Please enjoy yourselves.

No, thank you. Pour them a glass first.

Does that make this wine worth 200 billion won?

How witty of you.

You investing in our duty-free shops is a win-win situation

for both our families.

Yes, and I'm grateful that you let us.

I've sent the papers over to you for approval.

We're in the cosmetics industry,

so why should we have to invest in their duty-shop business?

You don't have to if you don't see the need for it.

That's right.

At the party you held in Manila,

how did your talk with the Chinese Ambassador go?

There was progress, right?

Didn't he promise to throw you a banquet in Seoul

with Chairman Seo and his wife as guests?

Oh! That's great news.

Director Oh is capable of doing such great things.

For now…

it hasn't been confirmed yet.

Then you can get it confirmed.

As she should.

That's the only reason Mr. Seo agreed to the investment.

That's right. Our cosmetics brand has been having difficulties in China.

You have nothing to worry about.

She's a global celebrity.

She's great at making the right connections.

You can trust her to get it done.

You're right. My friends always ask me questions about Ms. Oh.

Daniel, I think it's time for main course.

Yes, ma'am.

Is that so?

Before we forget, how about we make a toast?

Of course.

Would you do the honors?

I will, thank you.

Here's to Hwain and Cosmo's eternal prosperity.

Cheers.

Hey!

Are you telling me not to meddle in the foundation's affairs

by delaying that deal with China?

As long as you promise NOW Foundation's independence,

I'll make sure that their brand gets approved by China's FDA.

I'll have them allow us to open our duty-free shop there as well.

Hmm…

How could you try to embarrass me

in front of my in-laws?

Do your job right!

I was wondering…

Is it true that Butler Byeon graduated from Seoul National University?

Apparently, she went to law school.

No, she majored in English Literature.

But why did she become a butler after graduating

from such a prestigious school?

Tell me about it.

The chairwoman's father

paid for her tuition and her family's living expenses

since middle school so that she'd aid the chairwoman for the rest of her life.

Then she'll be a servant all her life.

Were you talking about me?

I'm sorry, Ms. Byeon. I was out of line.

But Ms. Byeon.

Why are you spending your entire life here?

Because I have enough time to read

and also because the people here are in need of my service.

One more thing, Ms. Byeon.

How should we address that woman?

The woman with the child?

Yes.

How does Director Oh address her?

"Mistress."

Then you can address her as that.

So she's calling her a concubine?

You could say that.

Hey, you. Butler.

What are you staring at, butler?

-What is it, ma'am? -Ah!

It must be because I'm not addressing you as "Ms. Byeon," right?

Do you need something?

I'll be stepping outside to interview my son's new private tutor.

I'll be the one to take care of that.

Ah… Wait.

A butler shouldn't pick out his private tutor.

That's my job.

I can't just let anyone into this house.

Find something else to do for yourself.

Unbelievable.

Hey, you over there.

Me, mistress?

What?

What did she just call me?

Unbelievable.

How insulting.

Director Oh.

This is a gift that Ms. Stephanie sent from New York

for you to wear at the opening ceremony.

It's from her newest limited collection this season.

-Send her a photo of me wearing it later. -Yes, ma'am.

She donated so much money to the foundation every year.

I'll have to repay the favor.

NOW Welfare Center Opening ceremony

Understood.

Where's Director Oh?

She's already arrived

-and is looking at the dormitories. -Damn it!

Tell her to come here right away. Let's get it over with.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

How does it feel to be at the opening ceremony?

Well, I don't know.

- Ma'am. - It feels very good

that our foundation is once again making the world a better place.

Why you…

The weather is great, isn't it?

Beyond the running of this welfare center,

NOW Foundation promises to carry on helping children in need

both within the country and abroad

through various business endeavors.

I would like to introduce to you Hwain's Chairwoman Park Miran

who continually graced us with her benevolent donations.

Please step forward. We'd like a picture of you together.

Please come to the center of the stage.

Step forward, please.

- Please move forward. - Step forward, please.

- Please. - Please do that.

- Please move forward. - Step forward, please.

- Please stand at the center together. - At the center.

- Please stand together. - Please.

- Closer. - Please stand close together.

- Please link arms. - Please link your arms.

Please link your arms.

- Please look this way. - Smile, please.

Could you put your cheeks together?

- Now with a smile. - Please.

- That's perfect. - We'll take the photo now.

Please look over this way.

- Please smile. - Now smile.

Darn it.

You. Step forward.

Come on.

You're all useless.

You.

Come here.

You smell nice.

That's right.

I like men who smell nice.

Darn it.

Hold still.

Let me catch my breath.

The thing about people…

is that you can tell a lot about them by the way they smell.

You can tell what someone ate that day

by the odor of their breath,

but you can tell what they've eaten all their life

by their body odor.

That means

that I can figure you out from head to toe

by taking a whiff of your smell.

I'm just a former cop who grew up in an ordinary household.

Are you saying you grew up poor?

We were ordinary.

But for some reason…

you smell sweet.

We should do this again.

I liked how you didn't let me win like the rest of them.

I was feeling miserable

since I was wearing the same clothes as her today.

There's nothing like judo to blow off some steam, right?

K1. Treat everyone to a nice dinner tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

There's nothing like judo.

I feel much better today.

-Any irregularities? -Nothing of note, ma'am.

Keep a close watch without them noticing.

-Yes, ma'am. -Right.

Have Director Oh come and see me in an hour's time.

Yes, ma'am.

Same clothes, different vibes? Oh turns heads at welfare center's opening ceremony

Damn it.

Come in.

Ms. Stephanie sent it to me as a gift.

I didn't know you purchased one yourself.

Your mother…

You don't visit her, do you?

My brother is taking good care of her.

It must have been over 10 years since you last saw her.

I see that Mr. Oh can hold a secret.

What do you mean?

Do you know that she's locked up in a psychiatric hospital?

A locked ward at that.

Sit back down. I'm not done talking.

Did you put her in there?

Me?

What right would I have to do that?

You're her daughter.

If people find out about this,

you'll be put in a difficult situation.

What are you trying to tell me?

You should be at her side for her death.

They say she could die any minute.

Wonbit Psychiatric Hospital

This place is just…

Wonbit Psychiatric Hospital

She may not recognize you.

She doesn't recognize me either.

Welcome, Mr. Oh.

Gosh.

This is a prison, not a hospital.

This was the best I could do.

It was Chairwoman Park's order.

Welcome. Please come in.

I want to see her alone.

I'll be in the car. Head inside.

She's in ward 3.

Ward 3

Mom!
