WHEN THE PHONE RINGS

EPISODE 8

[solemn music playing]

[chuckles softly]

[soft song playing]

[Sa-eon] Thank you…

for all your hard work, 406.

You…

knew everything?

Since when? No…

If you knew, why didn't you…

Why didn't I what?

[voice shaking] Why didn't you hate me?

Tell me…

Hong Hee-joo.

Tell me how to hate you.

Tell me how to not love you.

[soft song continues playing]

[song ends]

[pleasant music playing]

Eat slowly.

It's good.

[chuckles softly]

[Hee-joo] I've been wondering for a while, but why are you such a good cook?

[inhales deeply]

Cooking's about sincerity.

To tell the truth, as long as the kimchi's good,

this dish is a success.

It's really good.

[pleasant music continues playing]

From now on,

let's eat together often.

At home.

So it'll feel more like a home

and not feel like a jail.

When did I call it a jail? That's what you said.

- I did? - You just feel guilty.

No, I don't.

Was the three years we lived together normal?

There were nothing but cold vibes in this house.

We didn't speak or make eye contact.

We didn't eat or sleep together…

Do you want that?

[chuckles softly]

If you hated sleeping in separate rooms,

you should've told me.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

To me… [sighs]

this home was warm.

[slow music playing]

When I returned home

and saw the lights in the window,

it made me feel good

to know you were there.

When I looked at you,

the noisy world around me

became quiet…

and peaceful.

You should've told me sooner.

Do you remember

what I said to you before?

I told you

not to have any feelings for me.

Don't try to have any feelings for me.

Let it all go.

You don't need to act like a puppet in front of me.

How could I forget that?

You didn't have to be so harsh.

[inhales deeply]

I was scared.

If I didn't draw the line like that,

I was scared I'd end up giving you my heart,

and before I knew it, I'd think living like this with you

might actually be okay.

That I'd give up everything and just cave in.

[Sa-eon] Let me be clear.

You weren't part of my plan.

So from now on,

if you interfere or get in my way,

I won't let it slide.

What was the plan

you mentioned back then?

[slow music continues playing]

[clicks tongue, inhales deeply]

I'll tell you when the time comes.

Actually…

I have something to tell you too.

UNKNOWN CALLER

[inhales deeply]

Relax.

Don't worry anymore.

I will track him down soon.

Also, about this phone,

only you and I know about it.

It's not going to the police.

That'll never happen.

Are you worried it'll be revealed that I'm involved?

I'm prepared for it.

Let's reveal everything and--

I'm going to take care of things one by one.

You just wait.

Don't think about doing anything.

And for the time being,

don't speak in front of anyone but me.

Why not?

The accomplice is someone close to us. I'm sure of it.

Until we know exactly who it is,

we must be careful.

Okay.

[inhales deeply]

[Sa-eon] To tell you the truth,

I'm sad to end these calls.

It was fun.

The fiery Hong Hee-joo that only shows up

when she's 406.

Wait, where was that lingerie again?

[Hee-joo] Why? No, wait.

[slow music playing]

Why?

It's just…

hard to believe.

That you accepted me just as I am

and forgave me.

[gripping music playing]

[Sa-eon] Could you do the same

when you know everything about me?

[rain pattering]

[phone vibrates]

[sighs softly]

MASTER DID YOU GET THE PHONE BACK?

[kidnapper] No.

WHY NOT?

[mysterious music playing]

[tires screech]

[kidnapper] What the hell?

Damn it.

[sighs]

[man] Just a moment!

Goodness.

Good grief.

Oh, goodness.

Oh, boy. My goodness.

- Goodness. - What floor?

Thank you. I'm going to B4.

I see.

[man] Thank you.

Goodness.

Aren't you Spokesperson Paik Sa-eon?

[chuckles softly] Yes.

It's an honor to meet you.

I saw the news. Are you okay?

The world's so chaotic that all sorts of weird people

dare to do things like that to you.

- Thank you for your concern. - [man] Take care of yourself.

Such a bad guy should be caught… [voice fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

[kidnapper sniffs]

[kidnapper] Did you know?

Paik Sa-eon

smells really good.

[sighs wearily]

[groans]

What I want to get back isn't that stupid phone.

[scoffs]

[gripping music playing]

I'm going to take it all.

Even the scent coming from him.

The screen beside me shows the composite sketch of the suspect.

According to police,

the suspect is around 185 cm tall with a solid build

and in his early to mid-thirties.

And he is odd-eyed, and one eye appears light brown in different lighting.

He has also been reported to have anger management issues,

acting impulsively due to a lack of control.

Sir. Ma'am.

HBC has reached out to confirm

if the interview will proceed as scheduled.

[suspenseful music playing]

- Cancel it. - Say we'll do it.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Min.

Yes, sir?

[inaudible]

[music ends]

[groans softly]

[somber music playing]

[automated voice] The number you dialed doesn't exist.

- Please check the number and try again. - [exhales deeply]

[automated voice] The number you dialed doesn't exist.

- Please check… - [line disconnects]

[automated voice] The number you dialed doesn't exist.

Please check…

[music ends]

[breathing heavily]

[mellow music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[mellow music continues playing]

[music ends]

Did you sleep well?

Aren't you going to work?

Not today.

I won't move an inch today.

I took the day off.

You did?

[inhales deeply]

As you know,

for the past three years,

I've worked without any days off,

even on holidays and weekends.

I can take a day off.

Then…

what will you do today?

Is there something you want to do?

[Hee-joo] Well…

[pleasant music playing]

There is.

Things that I never imagined we could do together.

I know it's ridiculous,

but I imagined it sometimes.

[speaking indistinctly]

[both laughing]

[Hee-joo] Us being…

completely ordinary just like everyone else.

Funny, right?

Even though I wanted to get a divorce and to escape this house every day.

[soft song playing]

Since when?

What?

When did you start imagining that?

I don't know.

Probably…

[Sa-eon] She is…

my wife.

Did you fall for me then?

[chuckling] Fall for you? Me?

It's just that I'd never thought you'd do something like that.

For me,

it was way before that.

Way before.

When?

[Sa-eon] Well…

[phone vibrating]

[sighs wearily]

CHIEF KANG YOUNG-WOO

- [phone vibrating] - [Sa-eon sighs]

[clears throat]

- Yes? - [Young-woo] Mr. Paik?

- Sorry for disturbing you on your day off. - What is it?

I'm really sorry, but I think you need to come here right away.

[solemn music playing]

[sighs]

- [reporter 1] A car's coming! - [reporter 2] He's here!

- [reporter 3] Wait. - [bodyguard 1] Move out of the way.

[bodyguard 2] Move. Just a moment.

- Please move. - [bodyguard 3] Move.

Move out of the way.

[reporter 4] Why was Paik Sa-eon being threatened?

[reporter 5] Who do you think is the mastermind behind them?

Paik Sa-eon's statement was completely different from your claims.

Could you comment on that?

[gripping music playing]

Why do you think that is?

The spokesperson

drew a clear line to avoid causing any trouble to his father's future.

He didn't want to make a fuss over a political issue.

Then, do you still think those trying to harm you

are the ones who attacked the spokesperson?

[reporter 6] Wait. What's that?

[bodyguard 3] Move out of the way.

- What are you doing? - [bodyguard 2] Move.

[bodyguard 1] Stop. Don't go inside.

- Hey. - [bodyguard 3] You can't go inside.

[people clamoring]

PAIK JANG-HO'S GRANDSON, PAIK UI-YONG'S SON

I KNOW WHAT PAIK SA-EON DID

[suspenseful music playing]

[reporter 8] Share a few words!

[music ends]

[in English] Surprise!

WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER!

[amusing music playing]

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

[sighs wearily]

[Young-woo] After thinking about how to offer our support and comfort,

we prepared this.

Do you like it?

Mr. Kang.

Yes?

[Sa-eon] Did you ask me

to hurry to the office for this?

When I took my first day off in three years?

Yes.

You took your first day off in 3 years.

We imagined how you felt,

how difficult it must've been.

[amusing music continues playing]

[sighs]

Since we prepared this anyway, should we take a commemorative photo?

[music ends]

By the way, where's Mr. Park?

[footsteps approaching]

Sir!

You've found his location?

Yes, the reverse tracking is complete.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Sa-eon] Hajeong, Gyeonggi-do?

[Do-jae] Does the location ring a bell?

Are you going right now?

- Then I'll come with-- - [Sa-eon] I'll go alone.

Don't tell the police.

Sir.

Be careful.

Great work.

CHILDREN'S WELFARE CENTER

- [director] Enjoy. - [children] Okay!

[indistinct chatter]

[director] We're still eating what you bought before.

I appreciate it.

That reminds me.

Did you find out anything more about what you asked me last time?

That? No.

I've been asking his peers to try to find the twin brother…

[inhales deeply]

but no one knows anything.

By the way, what about the newscaster who came with you before?

She didn't come today.

Oh, her.

She's probably working.

She's not your girlfriend?

Not at all. She's just a colleague.

Then again… [chuckles softly]

I remember your first love.

She was nothing like her, right?

My first love?

Her name was…

Hong Hee-joo, right?

Oh.

Yeah, well…

[mellow music playing]

You've got a great memory.

Of course.

She came to our center regularly to volunteer for years.

She even taught the kids to sign.

I haven't seen her in so long.

I wonder how she's doing.

[door closes]

[Yeon-hui] The chairman said to bring you home for now,

but no, you need to hold out.

The moment you leave this house, you can't come back.

Also,

I know who the culprit is.

Who else would threaten Sa-eon and talk about your marriage?

Hong In-a. Who else?

[scoffs] That brat…

I could tell she was trying to break you two apart.

She must regret her choice now.

What great timing, right?

The election's soon, things are going well,

and she's trying to ruin it.

Hey.

Did you know she was back?

What did she say? Does she want everything back?

You told her no, right?

[Yeon-hui sighs]

Don't see her again.

Don't listen to anything she says, got it?

[phone vibrates]

[mysterious music playing]

[kidnapper] Sis, remember what I said before?

You don't know anything about Paik Sa-eon.

You can't even eat what's hand-fed to you.

- [kidnapper] Don't you want to know? - How could you only

- take after your father? - [kidnapper] Are you curious?

Get it together, or you'll end up like your father.

Hey, I'm leaving.

What is this?

[car accelerating]

[tires screeching]

HBC JANG HYEOK-JIN

[phone vibrating]

- Hello? - [Hyeok-jin] This was just posted.

Take a look at what I sent.

[phone vibrates]

I KNOW WHAT PAIK SA-EON DID

Do you think the culprit sent this?

What's wrong with him?

What grudge does he have against you?

- [Sa-eon] I'm on my way to find out. - What?

Where?

[mysterious music continues playing]

[tires screeching]

[car accelerating]

Nothing!

CALLS PAIK SA-EON

[phone vibrates]

[Sang-woo] Hee-joo, how are you doing?

[solemn music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

HEE-JOO, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU OKAY? I CAN'T REACH YOU, SO I'M WORRIED.

[Hee-joo] It's been a while, Sang-woo.

[Sang-woo] Hee-joo, have you been well?

[Hee-joo] Sang-woo, can you meet me right now?

Right now?

WILL PAIK SA-EON BLACKMAIL CASE AFFECT PAIK UI-YONG'S ELECTION?

[sighs]

How are you going to handle this?

There's a limit to what I can stop.

The person to handle this isn't me or the spokesperson.

It's you.

- Take responsibility and fix it. - What?

What kind of absurd nonsense is this?

Didn't all of this happen because of your daughters?

If it'd gone as originally agreed, this wouldn't be happening!

Why give them the chance to find fault?

It's all in the past,

but since you brought it up,

let me ask you something.

Your family's Achilles' heel,

are you sure it was taken care of by Chairman Paik?

[suspenseful music playing]

No?

Is there something left

that hasn't been cleared away?

Of course not.

If, and I mean if,

that thing shows up now and holds you or me back,

this time,

I'll chop it

into tiny pieces… [bangs table]

from head to tail myself

and neatly scatter them in your yard.

So either look forward to it or prepare yourself.

I advise you to do something, Candidate Paik.

I advise you to repay me first.

Shouldn't you at least pretend

to repay the debt you owe me from three years ago?

[dramatic music playing]

I'm talking about your eldest daughter.

[Sang-woo] I'm glad nothing happened.

So many incidents happened after you started working there.

I felt a little troubled.

Thanks for your concern.

But what's going on?

What brings you here?

The case you're investigating on the program you're appearing on,

didn't you say it was about a case of missing orphans?

Yeah, that's right.

Can you tell me more about it?

[intriguing music playing]

[door opens]

[door creaking]

[door closes]

[intriguing music continues playing]

[music ends]

[woman on TV] Help yourself!

[man 1 on TV] Eat it before it cools.

[woman on TV] You don't like it? Those were good too.

[man 1 on TV] The meat was bursting out.

It wasn't just like a sausage or ham.

[woman on TV] Yeah. That's right.

[man 2 on TV] What's it like? What Korean food does it resemble?

Nothing!

[all laughing on TV]

[man 2 on TV] If this is how it's going to be,

don't call it a seminar.

[keys clacking]

YOU DID IT

YOU'RE THE KILLER

[suspenseful music playing]

PAIK SA-EON

[man 1] The meat was bursting out. It wasn't just like a sausage or ham.

- [woman] Yeah. That's right. - [man 2] What's it like?

What Korean food does it resemble?

[man 1] Nothing!

MISSING ORPHAN CASE CONTACT US IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING

[suspenseful music playing]

This house is where the orphanage kids went in and never came out.

Why is the door open?

Does someone live here now?

No.

I don't think so.

Did you go in?

Yeah. Last time I came here.

Hee-joo, why do you ask about the case?

Do you know something about it?

You're asking about it.

And the spokesperson asked before.

You're both very interested.

We're coming back from covering a site.

You know that we're doing a show together.

- You-ri told me you asked her about me. - [gasps]

What's the story about?

[crow caws]

It's too late tonight.

So let's come back during the day.

[suspenseful music continues playing]

[car accelerating]

[phone vibrating]

PAIK SA-EON

Is there someone that calls you?

[phone vibrating]

Take it.

You can take it.

How could I?

[Sang-woo scoffs]

I guess there's someone who knows besides me.

Know what?

That you can speak.

[horn honking]

[gripping music playing]

What's that?

[horn honking]

[line ringing]

HONG HEE-JOO

[line disconnects]

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

[car accelerating]

What are they doing?

[horn honking]

[car accelerating]

- [tires screeching] - [horn honking]

[tires screeching]

Is he crazy?

[exhales nervously]

[music ends]

Don't get out.

- Open it. - Don't.

We don't know why he's acting like this.

Hee-joo.

Hee-joo!

What are you doing?

Let go.

[tense music playing]

I'm warning you.

Don't ever come near Hong Hee-joo again.

Who are you to say that?

What exactly is your relationship with Hee-joo?

You answer me first.

How much do you know about the Sinil Childcare Center incident?

Have you found the culprit?

Why do you ask--

There'd be an investigation if they had!

Do you already know who the culprit is?

- So you're seeking revenge? - [scoffs] "Revenge"?

I don't know if I'm having reasonable doubts about you

or if it's just a misunderstanding,

but stop here.

Stop…

digging into this case.

Why do you care so much about it?

What does it have to do with you?

[music intensifies]

What bothers me isn't the case, it's you.

From the moment you appeared,

the threats, kidnapping, and explosions started.

Is that really a coincidence?

What?

[engine starting]

[car accelerating]

[music fades]

[Sa-eon sighs]

Why did you come here?

Because of this.

It was sent to me.

- [man 1] …a sausage or ham. - [woman] Yeah. That's right.

- [man 2] What food does it resemble? - [man 1] Nothing!

[tires screech]

UNKNOWN CALLER YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PAIK SA-EON.

So did you go

to ask Ji Sang-woo?

I asked about the case.

Why didn't you ask me?

Were you scared to ask?

Answer me, Hong Hee-joo.

You're right.

I was scared.

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

[scoffs]

Why?

Are you scared and anxious

that you might find…

something shocking about me?

Is that it?

I've been scared,

anxious,

and wanted to run away many times.

[slow music playing]

I was afraid you'd find out that I was 406,

that you wouldn't forgive me,

or that you'd never want to see me again.

[sighs]

I wanted to run away…

before you found out about everything.

So I am scared and anxious.

That you might run away

if I find out your secret,

just like I wanted to.

So I couldn't ask you.

Because…

I know what that's like.

That's not the only thing I'm scared of. Today, I…

I've felt anxious ever since I woke up.

[voice shaking] I was scared last night…

was just a dream.

The kind of dream

that makes me break down in tears when I wake up,

feeling empty and sad.

[sobbing]

This kind of happiness

would never happen to me.

No one would love me this easily.

That's never happened to me before, so how could I?

- How can I make you believe it? - [Hee-joo crying]

What can I do

to ease your mind?

[sighs deeply]

Don't hide anything from me.

Show me everything.

I can handle anything.

Don't be so sure of that.

Why not?

You knew I was 406, yet you didn't abandon me.

Let us

show each other our worst

and make it even.

[dramatic song playing]

Hong Hee-joo.

If…

something happens to me

and the Paik Sa-eon you've known

disappears from this world,

even if I throw away the title of Paik Jang-ho's grandson,

Paik Ui-yong's son, and the spokesperson,

just remember this.

The only Paik Sa-eon I want to leave behind in this world…

is the one that belongs to Hong Hee-joo.

[crying]

[song ends]

[Il-gyeong] In-a, why did you come back without me knowing?

When I said I couldn't marry him,

I thought you'd force me to.

But you let me go easily,

so I was grateful

yet a bit surprised.

Was it all part of your plan?

Were you the one who sent me those papers?

[tense music playing]

PAIK UI-YONG AND PAIK SA-EON DNA NOT MATCHED

[paper rustles]

[In-a] When I think about it, you didn't look so surprised.

As if you already knew.

No.

There was no reason for you to send it anonymously.

You could've just told me.

Stop talking nonsense.

[In-a] What was the reason?

Why did you make me run away from that marriage?

What's the contract you signed with Chairman Paik?

[Ui-yong] What did you just say?

[gripping music playing]

Your second daughter?

Sir.

Hundreds of wedding invitations went out under In-a's name.

Everyone knows that Paik Ui-yong's son is engaged to Chungwoon family's eldest.

Now you want to send your second daughter down the aisle?

[laughs dryly]

[Ui-yong] This is a soap opera.

Have you lost your mind since your daughter ran off?

Also, why should we take your second daughter?

Do you think she's on the same level as Sa-eon?

There's nothing more to discuss.

- Let's prepare a statement. - No one will know.

Let's just fill the empty slot.

You've done it before, so you know.

It's easier than you think.

[gripping music continues playing]

Our two families…

have a long-standing agreement.

Chairman Paik kneeled before me and made this promise.

He promised to grant me

anything I wanted,

whenever and whatever it may be.

IF THE CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE IS UPHELD,

PARTY B MUST ACCOMMODATE ANY REQUEST MADE BY PARTY A, WHENEVER, WHEREVER.

PAIK JANG-HO HONG IL-GYEONG

[In-a] I heard it from her.

Who is all ears and loose-tongued.

But I'm sure you wouldn't just tell me,

so I thought about it.

The car accident when I was young.

After that,

you were mad for a while.

You had the police and prosecutors investigate and dig everything up.

As if you'd make a culprit if there wasn't one.

But…

why did you stop?

No.

Who made you stop?

[tense music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

Don't bring up the rotten past.

Do you want to know what you should be focusing on now?

Did you hear that Paik Sa-eon is being threatened?

The culprit

knows everything about Hee-joo.

Hee-joo?

That means…

they know

what happened to you,

Sa-eon, and Hee-joo.

[You-ri] How are you so sweet? [chuckles]

What's your secret to maintaining such a happy marriage?

Well, there's nothing special.

We just fill each other with what we lack

and share what we have in excess.

While doing that, we've become like one.

I can't live without her now.

[laughing]

In such a harmonious home,

I hear there have been some troubling and worrying issues lately.

It's about your son, Spokesperson Paik Sa-eon.

Yes, about that…

"The threats and acts of terror

were crimes of vengeance."

"The victim provided the reason for the threats."

I hear there are various rumors.

Yes.

However, some insist that that isn't the case

and urge caution against reckless speculation.

I apologize for causing concern to our supporters and the public

who have trusted and watched over us.

We promise to resolve this matter swiftly.

However,

to my son Sa-eon,

who must be suffering more than anyone,

as his mother,

I want to say something.

Goodness. That would be great.

Now, look at the camera and say what you have to say, please.

Okay.

[sniffles]

[ominous music playing]

Sa-eon.

Do you remember?

Remember…

what I always said to you?

- [banging on door] - [boy crying]

- [banging continues] - [boy crying]

[boy sobbing]

[boy continues crying]

I'm…

not locking you up.

I'm protecting you.

I will…

still protect you.

I'll protect you,

Sa-eon.

[music ends]

[Hee-joo] I'm sorry for the worry I've caused.

I'll work really hard.

[Tae-kyeong] Don't be sorry.

You did great.

But I think you lost weight.

[chuckles softly]

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

Now.

To welcome you back to work,

we've prepared a gift for you.

A gift?

You'll be the interpreter for the spokesperson's speech

at this year's Environmental Climate Day event.

[chuckles softly]

See? I told you she'd be happy.

You're right.

I was worried it might be too much since you just got back,

but your face says otherwise.

Let us know if it's too much for you.

It's not at all!

Just leave it to me, and I'll do my best to prepare!

Through this visit to France, our government aims

to strengthen the trust and friendship between the two nations

and establish a stepping stone

into a cooperative partnership.

Furthermore, we expect this visit to contribute to the expansion

and diversification of our diplomatic outreach.

That is all.

[people murmuring]

All right. We will take questions from now on.

- Spokesperson. - Over here.

[reporter 1] I have a question.

- [reporter 2] Over here. - There's so much enthusiasm.

However, we'll only take questions related to today's issues.

How about a back briefing?

- [reporter 3] A back briefing? - I'll take questions on any topic.

- Sir? - [reporter 4] I have a question!

- [reporter 5] Over here! - Spokesperson, I have a question.

- [reporter 6] Sir! - [reporter 7] Here!

Please.

[suspenseful music playing]

What did the blackmailer demand?

And why didn't you report it after the first threat?

Well…

Another question.

"I know what you did, Paik Sa-eon."

What do you think this means?

Yes, any more?

Go ahead.

You firmly said it was not political terrorism.

How are you so sure?

Surprisingly, it seems you're all being careful around me.

You can ask bolder questions.

Let's be honest,

you're all curious about one thing.

You've all dug into me and never found any dirt.

So, what could be Paik Sa-eon's deadly weakness?

A woman?

Gambling?

Drugs?

He's out of his mind.

- Sir… - I'm going to show you something,

and I want you all to make use

of your information and investigative skills

to solve this quiz.

[music stops]

The meat was bursting out. It wasn't just like a sausage or ham.

[woman on TV] Yeah. That's right.

[man on TV] What's it like?

- What Korean food does it resemble? - Nothing!

[laughter on TV]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Sa-eon] The video I just showed you

is what I received from the blackmailer just yesterday.

But you can't tell what it's about, can you?

What does he want?

What's he threatening me with?

It's the same for me.

So I need your help.

So,

what if we figure it out?

The one who figures it out will get an exclusive interview.

[reporters exclaim, murmur]

[Jin-e] Stop it.

Why are you treating us and even grilling the meat?

It's all done. Please, eat.

- Let's eat! - Thank you.

Mmm! It's so good.

Right? Eat your fill.

[sighs]

Why aren't you eating?

No, I am.

What is it?

Are you crying?

I'm not crying.

[Jin-e sniffling]

The smoke got in my eye.

There's no smoke here.

[voice breaking] I mean…

It feels like just yesterday you were practicing sign language

with those tiny, delicate hands, fumbling this way and that.

[crying]

When did you grow up like this?

Now you're the interpreter for the presidential office

and are treating us to galbi.

[laughing]

I'm so touched.

I need to pull it together.

What's this?

Why is it so good?

[interpreters] Mmm.

You said your department are regulars here.

I can see why.

I wanted to come here with you.

Thanks.

You're the only one who thinks of me.

By the way, Hee-joo,

you've gotten so much prettier.

- [Hee-joo gulps] - I thought the same.

- Me too. - [Jin-e] Right?

You look more radiant. There's definitely something different.

Wait.

Did you get work done?

Laser? Fillers?

[interpreter 1] Come on.

No.

I'm just kidding.

[laughing]

Hey.

You got hired by the presidential office,

and you get to work right next to the respected spokesperson.

Of course, you look good.

But…

the atmosphere at the presidential office has been chaotic lately.

Is the spokesperson okay?

[interpreter 1] Right.

Are the threats for real?

There was the accident at the company retreat too.

How would Hee-joo know?

Look here.

Just eat some galbi.

Ah. Mm.

What is this? It's so good!

[Jin-e] This is perilla pesto.

A quiz?

I mean, why has our spokesperson become so high-maintenance lately?

Why does he keep causing trouble without consulting us?

- [phone ringing] - See?

There it is. It must be an answer to the quiz!

Spokesperson's office.

Is this…

the presidential spokesperson's office?

[Young-woo] Yes, it is. How can I help you?

[suspenseful music playing]

I have

something I need to tell Spokesperson Paik Sa-eon.

FISHING SUPPLIES

[suspenseful music continues playing]

[music fades]

[elevator dings]

[elevator chimes]

- [automated voice] Second floor. - [elevator dings]

Getting off.

Hello.

[mellow music playing]

Did you have…

lunch?

Interpreter.

Hong.

Hee.

Joo.

I did. What about you?

So did I.

Your sign language has improved.

I've been practicing hard.

Am I…

good?

Yes. It's rewarding to have taught you.

I'll see you later.

Okay, see you at home.

I won't be late.

[elevator dings]

[mellow music continues playing]

Sir?

A call came in a moment ago.

This…

Come in.

I have something to pass along.

HE'S ALIVE

Is this all?

He hung up after saying this.

So I immediately looked up the caller's number,

and a business came up.

[ominous music playing]

A business?

JUAN FISHING

[ominous music intensifies]

[phone vibrates]

Hey. Pictures from the retreat have been posted.

[Tae-kyeong] Really? I want to see.

Did they turn out well?

- Let's see. - [Won-bin] Wow.

Everyone looks great. [laughs]

[Tae-kyeong] Mr. Jeong, you came out great.

[emotional music playing]

[emotional music continues playing]

Wait for me.

[emotional music rises]

[music fades]

[eerie music playing]

[man] He's alive.

[Sa-eon] He's alive?

Could it be him?

[eerie music continues playing]

[water splashes]

[boy gasping]

[boy] Help!

[splashing]

[boy gasping] Please help!

Help…

[eerie music intensifies]

[boy gasping]

[gasping]

[tense music playing]

[young Sa-eon gasping]

I told you not to come out.

Go inside.

[tense music continues playing]

PAIK SA-EON

[Hee-joo] Will you be late?

[doorbell chimes]

[music fades]

This feels so strange.

This house was supposed to be my newlywed house.

[Hee-joo] I have something to ask you.

Go ahead.

[Hee-joo] Why did you come back?

If you're trying to reclaim what's yours…

Shouldn't you ask first

why I left in the first place?

[suspenseful music playing]

JUAN FISHING

Father told me

that Sa-eon's blackmailer knows everything

about you and this marriage.

Then you should also know

why I refused this marriage.

The reason…

you had to marry him in my place.

[gasps]

[coughing]

Wake up!

[In-a] There's more to Paik Sa-eon than you think.

[grunting]

[groans]

[soft emotional music playing]

Did you know already?

It doesn't matter?

[emotional music intensifies]

[Sa-eon] Hong Hee-joo.

If…

something happens to me

and the Paik Sa-eon you've known

disappears from this world,

even if I throw away the title of Paik Jang-ho's grandson,

Paik Ui-yong's son, and the spokesperson,

just remember this.

[explosion]

The only Paik Sa-eon I want to leave behind in this world…

is the one that belongs to Hong Hee-joo.

[music fades]

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS

Did they turn out well?

[Tae-kyeong] Yes.

[romantic song playing]

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS

[Hee-joo] What is this?

What in the world happened?

[Sang-woo] There's one thing I'm sure of.

He wasn't hiding you

but protecting you.

[In-a] I've been curious about this.

Who does Spokesperson Paik take after?

[Hee-joo] I wonder what his real name is.

[Sa-eon] Even if I'm not the Paik Sa-eon you knew,

does it not matter?

[Hee-joo] It didn't matter to you.

It's my turn now.

It's my turn to protect you.
