Year 1998

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

There are men here to see you.

Tell them I'm not home.

Ms. Shim Chunhee!

Where's your mother, little girl?

She's not home.

I see that you're a feisty one.

-My brother will be home soon. -Mm-hm.

Tell me where your mom is!

She went out to work!

She's not home!

Come on, guys.

Tell us where your mom is. Where is she?

Let go of me!

Where's your mom?

Tell your mom to come out.

Do you know how hard it was to come up all the way here?

Ms. Shim. Your daughter is hurt.

Show yourself.

Madam.

Could you step closer?

Could you please

call my daughter?

Where's your daughter?

In the States.

She's a pro golfer.

Why do you want me to call her?

What do you want to say to her?

I want to tell her I'm sorry.

I want to tell her that I'm sorry for taking all her hard-earned money…

and gambling it all away at the casino.

You still remember that?

Tell them I'm not home.

Get lost.

Gosh.

What are you doing, Mom?

Wan… Wansoo. Tell them I'm not home.

What do I do about those men?

Tell them I'm not here!

-Just come out, Mom. -Tell them I'm out!

Ms. Shim Chunhee!

-Where is she? -She's not here!

Where's she hiding?

Ms. Shim. Your daughter is hurt.

Tell them I'm not here.

Tell them I'm out.

Red Swan

I'm so sorry, madam.

I'll just live here quietly

and not make any noise.

All I want

is for you to send my daughter to the States again.

Madam.

Madam.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom. Mom!

Hang in there, Mom!

Stay with me!

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Wansoo.

Mom!

Are they gone?

Wansoo. Get up, Wansoo.

Wansoo.

Do you know what this is?

So stop crying, Wansoo.

I…

Does this mean I can go to the US?

Of course.

We'll be off to the US.

Mom…

Mom.

I didn't know you were here like this.

I didn't even get to tell you that I'm sorry.

Don't go. Please don't.

Don't go, Mom.

Mom!

Mom…

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom…

Mom!

Mom!

Ward 3

Episode 5

You should head home first.

I'll sort things out and call you later.

What about the funeral?

We'll hold a small one for the two of us.

Chairwoman Park has ordered

that we shouldn't let anyone know.

Come in.

I heard about your mother.

I'm glad that you got to see her one last time before she passed away.

Your brother will take care of the funeral.

Tomorrow, you need to come with me

to Yongmin's meeting with the Chinese ambassador.

I can't go tomorrow.

I need to say goodbye to my mother.

Are you nuts?

Are you saying your dead mother

is more important than a business deal worth hundreds of billions?

I don't want to go.

If this business falls through,

I could have you locked up without anyone knowing…

just like your mother.

Or your brother could be next.

Funeral hall

The cremation just ended.

Yes. Mr. Oh is here alone.

What about the funeral?

I can't go.

No, that's not true at all.

Thank you for arranging this important meeting, Chairwoman Park.

Well, of course. We're family after all.

I'm only doing what's right.

Thank you for making time despite your schedule, Mr. Ambassador.

I'm honored to be meeting such great people

thanks to Director Oh.

No, the honor is ours.

I've heard so many great things about you through my daughter-in-law.

I think this meeting is an important step

in bettering the relationship between China and Korea.

Director Oh has already told me a lot

about Cosmo Cosmetics.

I've told my connections in China about your company

and they seem to be very favorable to the idea.

Is that so?

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

If this deal is made,

it will be a great opportunity for everyone,

both the Chinese government and businesses.

I will do my best not to disappoint Director Oh and all of you.

Thank you.

We should discuss this further while we have the meal.

Would it be okay for me to propose a toast to you, Mr. Ambassador?

It would be an honor.

Here.

Cheers.

Cheers.

This is great.

It's very good.

It is great.

I was ordered by Chairwoman Park

to store her ashes in a cinerarium discretely

since we have many eyes on us.

Can you take me somewhere?

No one knows about the place we're about to go to now.

I'll switch off the GPS tracking device.

You should switch off your phone.

I'll do the same.

Power off

This is my first time disappearing like this.

I'll start the car now.

They've just left.

Yes, it's Q1.

What do you mean you've lost the signal?

The car's tracking device and her phone are turned off.

Track them down, now!

-What about Doyoon? -We can't reach him.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable…

Construction approved Secure our right to live

What on earth are you saying?

I'm sorry, sir.

What is the meaning of this?

Wansoo's disappeared?

She switched off all the tracking devices.

Find her at once.

Find her by any means necessary!

Yes, sir.

Warning House to be demolished, do not trespass

Condolences

The place looks much smaller.

It's probably because I haven't been here in a while.

No trespassing Vacant

Wansoo. Tell them I'm not home.

Tell them I'm not here.

I'll tell them you're not here.

I'll do exactly that.

I went over to the States

and won many tournaments to become successful.

That's enough, right?

It is, isn't it?

My son died.

He was adorable.

But I was too busy…

so I didn't get to spend much time with him.

I thought he was in Switzerland.

That's what I tell myself.

Why aren't you crying?

It's okay to cry.

That way, your heart will ache less.

The late Shim Chunhee

Mom.

It must have been hard for you there.

You're now free to go wherever you want.

Don't feel sorry for me.

I've decided to forgive you now.

But as for the person who imprisoned you there for over ten years…

I won't ever forgive that person.

The Grand Palace

Got it.

She's just arrived.

I've asked her bodyguard to come with her.

The chairwoman wants to see you.

-I'm home. -Who the hell do you think you are?

-You disappeared with her. -I ordered him to.

Take it up with me.

What is the job of a bodyguard?

What the hell are you trying to pull?

I'm sorry, sir.

You're fired.

Mr. Park!

Fire him right this instant.

Mr. Park. I'll see you in my study.

Yes, ma'am.

What is the deal with the new bodyguard?

Well, I…

-Give me his bio. -Yes, ma'am.

He's a Police University graduate.

He moved up the ranks quickly and became--

Just the important things.

He doesn't have any family.

He was a very competent officer of the force.

I'll have him work shifts at headquarters instead of--

Hey.

The vice-chairman told you to fire him.

Well…

Do you take my son lightly because I treat him however I want to?

No, ma'am. Not at all.

Director Oh will oppose him being fired.

She'll come up with some excuse.

Then you'll just do as she says.

Then what should I tell the vice-chairman?

-Tell him I want to see him now. -Yes, ma'am.

Are you all right?

You are okay, aren't you?

Will you…

be my woman?

Why do you keep hurting yourself?

Why?

You did the same thing on the day your mother passed away.

Why don't you be my man instead?

You should become

someone who I can trust instead.

Make it so that I can trust you fully.

I need you.

You need me?

You said your friend was killed

by the same person who orchestrated that terrorist attack in Manila.

Show me proof

so that I can trust you.

I was the one who witnessed it.

I was there when Juhyuk died

and also when you were attacked.

I was there in both places.

You only saw the contract killer.

I'm asking you to get me the proof that the person who wants me dead

is someone from this family.

You idiot. You fool. You moron!

Is that all you ever think about?

Didn't you hear her? She cremated her dead mother.

Were you afraid that great wife of yours

was having an affair with that damned bodyguard?

Did you suspect her because you're always cheating on her?

That's enough. Mr. Park is here.

Did you or did you not hit him while all the employees were there?

You hit him and asked him where he's been with your wife!

I hear you.

I get what you mean.

I can't believe this.

Go and tell him

that the vice-chairman is sorry and pay him off.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, get lost!

Darn it.

Jang Taera.

Are you going to keep her around here?

Director Oh brought this on herself.

Do you really want me to divorce her?

Your wife told me that she'd never divorce you.

She's holding the foundation hostage.

That's where all our dirty laundry lies.

If Oh Wansoo exposes everything after she divorces you,

you will lose your inheritance and management rights.

Don't you get it?

The only way she has of leaving this family

is through death.

Divorce is not an option.

If she won't do that,

I'll kill her myself

just like what happened to Ko Jinhee.

Chairman Kim Duo CCTV

What's this?

You asked me to make you trust me.

This is the CCTV footage

that was taken from the Nonhyeon-dong home

on the day Chairman Kim Duo passed away.

That's his body being transported from the place.

That's definitely the Nonhyeon-dong home.

Are you saying that this man being carried out is my father-in-law?

These are the videos that Juhyuk left me.

What happened?

Under the commissioner general's order,

Juhyuk was analyzing some intel

and found the mysterious circumstances surrounding Chairman Kim's death.

He was following up on that prior to his death.

He hadn't even reported it to the commissioner general then.

Someone caught wind of that and hired someone to have him killed.

But I'm sure…

that I heard he died at the Grand Palace.

That assassin is now after your life as well.

That means that we have to find who killed the honorary chairman

and now wants you dead.

The person who has something to gain from you and Chairman Kim dying.

That person will be Juhyuk's killer.

Both my mother-in-law and my husband

don't have a clear motive for killing Chairman Kim.

You just don't know it.

Whether it's either of them or someone else,

there definitely is a motive.

What can they get out of killing me?

We'll need to find out.

But why do you need me?

What do you need me to do?

I need you to find out more than what you know now,

then I'll tell you.

And for now,

it still has to be ISIS who tried to gun me down.

That's the way it needs to be.

I don't know what you'll find out, but keep going.

But until then,

it will be ISIS who attacked me.

What do you mean?

Is it fame or honor that you need?

Or vanity?

It's not like that.

I really want to help the children

who are suffering the same things I did

because of poverty.

To do that,

I need donations from a lot of people.

And I am the face of the foundation.

I understand.

I'll deal with you being fired.

This way.

Come in.

Why are you so startled?

I'm sorry, ma'am?

Come in.

Yes, ma'am.

I showed him the video

that ISIS sent me as a threat.

I received one more.

What did they say?

It's full of clichés. There's no need for you to see it.

We can't afford to fire anyone for now.

You know why, don't you?

Yes. The vice-chairman sent me over to apologize to him in his place.

He did?

Yes, ma'am.

I'll leave you to it.

I'll hire more people for security.

You can't do that.

We can't afford to trust anyone for now.

I trust Q1 since he saved my life in Manila,

but I want to be wary of everything else for the time being.

Yes, Director.

You should head upstairs.

I need to talk to him for a while longer.

Okay.

How could you?

I'm disappointed.

I know you haven't been here long, but…

You know what you've done wrong today, don't you?

Aren't you going to answer me?

What kind of people live in this place?

Have you let them

influence you as well?

What did you say?

She didn't even get to attend her mother's funeral!

She wanted to say goodbye to her late mother,

so what do you expect me to do?

Before I'm a bodyguard,

I'm human.

The same goes for you too.

Damn it.

I don't think you are

the same person I used to know.

You should have let me know!

Are you hurt?

No, sir.

What video did she receive?

She showed me on her email,

but she logged out.

Stay out of the vice-chairman's sight for the time being.

That's unbelievable, Mom.

How could she not hold a funeral for her own mother?

It's great news for you.

That must mean their in-laws are looking down on her.

Did Mother stop her from holding the funeral, then?

Hang up for a second. I should find out if that's true.

So that's why she was so down in the dumps.

I need you to find out more than what you know now.

I'm here with a delivery from the flower shop.

I'll be heading out, sir.

The Grand Palace

You know the Eight Star Gang, right?

Don't they run illegal gambling houses?

They dabble in gambling, drugs, contract killings…

Anything that brings in money.

Hold on.

The bathroom is over that way.

I see. Hello.

I'm here to see the owner.

Who are you to be looking for the boss?

Tell him that someone from Hwain is here to see him.

Where?

What the hell is "Hwain"?

He'll know if you tell him

that someone from Hwain is here.

You'll have to wait until we hear back from the boss.

What? Hwain?

Yes, sir. That's what he said.

Send him back.

-Tell him we don't know such a thing. -Yes, sir.

Incoming call Incheon Eight Star Fortune

Someone new came to see us from Hwain.

You should send me a copy of the CCTV footage.

I'll get back to you after I look over it.

Then he's not from the flower shop, right?

Understood.

Damn it.

Who the hell is it then?

Messages Incheon Eight Star Fortune

That punk…

Africa has the greatest area that is colored in red.

Around 10% of the people in the area are said to be vaccinated.

This is the graph showing the number of people out of 100 in the population

who have received all the necessary vaccines.

The number is noticeably low.

NOW Foundation aims to provide vaccines

to 54 countries in the African continent, overall around 20%…

Mr. Oh is here looking for you.

Let's take a break.

What happened with the Chinese ambassador?

The permit for the duty-free shop?

Didn't things go well when you arranged that meeting with everyone?

Tell me.

Hyunsoo.

What happens if Cosmo Cosmetics doesn't get the permit to do business in China?

What do you think?

The 200 billion won they invested would all be for nothing.

And what happens to us without it?

It won't affect us at all. It's not like we don't have the money.

Yongmin of Cosmo would end up looking like a fool

when he was finally about to prove his worth to his wife's family.

Then Chairwoman Park's plan would be foiled.

I need to step out for a bit.

Hello. It's me, Oh Wansoo.

I'm on my way to your flagship store right now.

Are you at the store?

I'll see you soon then.

Yes, thank you.

Hello, Director.

It's been so long, hasn't it?

I was hoping to see you today. Do you have time?

Then I'll see you then.

Yes. Thank you.

Mr. Park wants to see you.

He wants you back at the headquarters after your work is done here.

All right.

Come in.

What were you doing here?

Did you come here to cause trouble?

You've received within a few hours a photo of me visiting the place.

I'm sure you were aware of all the CCTVs there.

You showed up there on purpose so that I'd ask to see you,

so explain yourself.

Sir.

I know that you were at the Eight Star Fortune Casino in Manila.

-Who told you that? -I saw you.

-What? -I was undercover there.

-What are you saying? -The Eight Star Gang.

They're a notorious gang. You know what they do.

Start making some sense.

Sir.

Do you have something to do with Juhyuk's death?

What do you mean?

Gambling, drugs, contract killings…

The Eight Star Gang does it all.

Contract killings?

Are you saying that I hired them to have Juhyuk killed?

-Didn't you? -I don't have to answer that.

Why did you give them a suitcase full of money?

A suitcase?

How could you--

The vice-chairman gave you that suitcase, didn't he?

Was that the suitcase you gave to Eight Star Fortune?

Tell me.

Listen carefully, you nutjob.

Contract killings aren't something that can be done so easily.

You used to be a cop.

-How could you say something so absurd? -Then what was that suitcase?

You little…

Incheon, Busan, Manila, Shanghai…

I was the one who ran errands for the vice-chairman to launder money.

Money laundering?

Did the vice-chairman order you to do that?

Since I know what Juhyuk's death means to you,

I've gone way beyond my limit to let you off the hook.

If you only joined Hwain to get to the bottom of Juhyuk's death,

you're looking in the wrong place.

Hand in your resignation and leave.

Then can you tell me

where the former chairman, Kim Duo, died?

How far are you willing to take this?

That's why Juhyuk died!

What?

Juhyuk was investigating the death of the former chairman.

You crazy bastards.

A heart attack at home.

That was all fabricated, wasn't it?

Do you think I'm a joke?

Is that what you think

because I'm playing butler for the rich at my age

after graduating from the Police University?

The person who killed Juhyuk…

What reason did he have

to kill Juhyuk?

Fine. Chairman Kim

died while away from home.

He died during intercourse. You know what that means, don't you?

That's why his body was moved home.

We wanted to save him from the ridicule on his deathbed.

Is that so bad? Is that a crime?

Heart attacks and coital deaths are pretty much the same thing.

Is it so wrong that we made it look as if he died peacefully at home?

Have you all gone nuts?

Damn it.

Do you know why my position is so difficult?

Do you know why we never fire or hire anyone that easily?

That's because this world is different from the one we live in.

There are many secrets

and many things that we must pretend not to have seen or heard.

But how could you suspect me?

For Juhyuk's death at that!

Can you be sure

that the money you delivered wasn't to hire a contract killer?

Money for a contract killer?

Think whatever you like.

It's not like you'd listen to me even if I asked you to stop.

But whatever happens from this point on,

I won't be able to cover for you. Do you understand?

Get out of here.

Just quit this job and have fun playing cop.

I will find whoever did this.

Not as an officer of the law,

but as Juhyuk's friend.

Now it's really begun.

Head of Security Seo Doyoon

Come to the employee dining room.

You should have let me know.

Did you have a craving for peanut butter?

I'll have it stocked upstairs first thing tomorrow.

Why do I feel more at home in the employee dining room?

It's fine. Come in.

Ms. Byeon. I feel like instant noodles too.

-Instant noodles? -I'll assist her.

I was going to grab a snack too.

- No, I'll do it. - You're right.

Ms. Byeon, you should go and rest. I'll head upstairs after I'm done eating.

Then I'll do just that. Thank you for your kindness.

Sure. Have a good night.

Only use half of the seasoning.

I thought we might run into someone if I went to your room again.

That's why I called you here instead.

According to Mr. Park,

Chairman Kim Duo died during coitus at the Nonhyeon-dong home.

-And? -That's why they moved his body back here.

Is it safe for you to question Mr. Park directly like that?

I told him that I had a suspicion about Juhyuk's death.

Did you ask him if my father-in-law could have been murdered?

No, I didn't.

I just told him that Juhyuk was looking into his death.

Is it okay to tell Mr. Park everything?

If Mr. Park is related to this somehow,

they'll come after me as well.

So you're going to use yourself as bait?

I'll find out no matter what.

You should look into Mr. Han as well.

He's in charge of managing all the slush funds.

Aren't you going to eat?

I'm fine.

I knew it.

She has enough restraint not to have late-night snacks.

Will you…

be my woman?

Why aren't you crying?

It's okay to cry.

That way, your heart will ache less.

Don't trust anyone from now on

and don't leave my side.

I'll protect you.

We'll begin the shoot.

Ms. Oh, are you ready?

- Yes. - Okay.

Standby. Cue!

Moisturizing stick used by Oh Wansoo

Moisturizing stick used by Oh Wansoo sold out

For when you're happy For a brighter smile around the eyes

The chairwoman called you three times.

Tell her that I'm in a meeting.

I did tell her that,

but where were you?

She seemed very upset.

She's calling again.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll go to the house.

Come home right away!

Yes, ma'am.

Play it again.

It's gotten more moisturized.

Multi-purpose moisturizing stick.

Oh Wansoo's choice.

Can you lower the volume?

- For when you're happy. - She must be nuts.

-Hey. I'm your mother-in-law. -For a brighter smile around the eyes.

Do you know how much money is riding on this?

A cute moisturizing stick that fits in the palm of your hand.

That must be her.

Come in.

What's the occasion?

You're all gathered here.

Are you serious right now?

Did you do that on purpose?

Is this because of the advertisement?

I did that since I needed money to buy vaccines to send to Africa.

-All the profits will go to-- -Hey!

Do you think you can walk all over me just because I'm being nice to you

as my elder sister-in-law?

Be quiet. Shut up!

How dare you ruin our business deal like that?

You were nothing but a lowly golfer.

What happened?

What's going on?

All of you. Go sit down over there.

Ms. Oh Wansoo.

What are you playing at?

Is that a way to address your brother's wife?

Do you even know what's going on?

Mr. Han. Do something.

They might start throwing punches soon.

Director Oh.

Were you aware that today was the release date

of Cosmo Cosmetics' new product?

Really?

Congratulations.

What more is there to talk about?

Let's just leave.

There's no talking to someone like her.

Jiyeon. You better watch what you say.

Ms. Oh Wansoo.

Did you know that I was going to marry your husband

to strengthen business ties?

Gosh, why would you bring that up now?

But Yongkook was sleeping with some junkie actress

and she bit the dust.

Who knows?

He could be an addict for all I care.

That's why my parents called off the wedding.

That's enough!

Mother.

Get this sorted.

How dare a leech like you step out of line?

- What? - Get out.

Get out!

Get up.

Fucking idiot.

Wow!

Guess what? I'm glad our wedding was called off.

You have no idea how grateful I am.

What are you doing? Aren't you going after her?

I'll give you one more chance.

The Chinese FDA still hasn't approved the sale of our cosmetics there.

Get it approved immediately.

Did you hear me?

Ask me politely.

What?

Get out.

-Get out of here, you punk. -Don't touch me!

What are you going to do about it?

-Please stop. -Out of my way!

Stay out of it!

If things go awry,

I'm going to kill you all.

You nutjob.

Damn it.

-Are you on a power trip? -Because I can.

You better keep your word.

Don't leave any loose ends.

I'll do my best.

Did you see the way Yongmin acted?

Give it a break.

Those brats…

I don't like a single thing they do.

Damn it.

The product Director Oh advertised

is said to have sold out completely.

What is it that makes her act like she owns the world?

I guess she's trying to interrupt your plan

by stopping Cosmo from investing in our duty-free shop.

What will you do?

Why that little…

How dare they act out in front of me like that?

Damn it.

Yes, Mom.

Taera. Did you know?

Chairwoman Park is in need of money right now.

Money?

They have more money than they have toilet paper here.

That's not what I meant.

The duty-free shop fell through.

Apparently, their second daughter-in-law

barged into the house and started screaming at Wansoo.

I hear there's been a huge commotion.

How is it that you know better than I do when I'm the one living here?

You should make a call to Hong Kong.

To Taesoo?

Your half-brother is still your brother.

And it's not like we're asking for a handout.

Tell him that we'll pay him back with interest.

Why would we borrow money?

Technically speaking, I'm also their in-law.

We should go for it since we now have a chance to win them over.

Will Oh Wansoo file for divorce?

Her advertisement coincided with the release of Cosmo's new product

A new article has been published about you, ma'am.

You should take a look at it.

Oh Wansoo

Tensions between Oh and in-laws rising

NOW Foundation's Oh Wansoo puts a stop on her in-laws' Cosmo

I get it, so go and get the car ready.

I've canceled your visit to the welfare center.

No, we won't cancel anything.

I promised them a month ago that I'd join the children for a meal.

Yes, ma'am.

Honey.

Why did you do this?

I told you.

I needed money to send vaccines to Africa.

One, two, three.

I need to go since I'm wanted at the foundation.

They're so pretty.

Thank you. Thank you.

These are amazing.

- Goodbye. - We'll miss you.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

What's going on?
