- Hey, Cheok Hee. - You're here.
Where did you take my Woon Ram? Where did you take him?
Go Cheok Hee.
[A person who can make the fear go away]
Episode 16
Mom told you not to go to the empty lot.
What are you doing here?
The door was open...
That child...
Get out. Get out before I call the police!
What's your reason for coming here again?
You said you saw Woo Ram that day.
- Something is off. - Why?
When I came here last time, I saw a boy who was the same age as him.
That boy is Woo Ram?
It seems that way, but... it felt like the maid was hiding him.
She was hiding him?
Han Mi Ree said she met him while she was volunteering...
There wouldn't be any reason to hide him. Why?
Exactly.
Excuse me.
- What is it? - May I ask a few questions?
- I'm from a law firm. - I see.
Do you know the people who lived here?
They moved out several days ago.
Then, have you ever seen the little boy who lived here?
I have, but we're not friendly enough to greet each other.
They're not very active in the community.
- How long have they lived here? - For a long time, I think.
I moved here three years ago, and they were already living here.
Do you know the child's name?
What is his name again?
Woo Ram. His name was Woo Ram.
They were already raising the child they planned on adopting several years ago.
Is that possible?
Does that mean they already adopted the child before they made the announcement?
If not, it could also mean he's not the child they're adopting.
What?
I wonder if he went there today?
They meet every weekend at the Yangpyung house.
Where did you take my Woo Ram? Where did you take him?
Sorry, but can you drop me off here?
The security here is seriously weak.
Let's talk for a moment.
I'm sorry... it's almost time for me to go on set.
Woo Ram.
I believe you have something to say to me in regards to that child.
He's your child, isn't he?
I saw a child in Yangpyung.
Why? Are you sad?
I'll come again next week.
You had a child with another man before you got married to President Ma.
And you continued to see that child in Yangpyung.
That child... is Woo Ram.
Am I right?
Adoption.
In order to raise your child out in the open...
you've wrapped it up very nicely.
Do you have proof?
I saw a recording.
You specifically said 'My Woo Ram' with your own lips.
This is even more interesting. In that recording...
that man was also there.
Jo Woo Sang.
That man... is the child's father, correct?
What are you talking about?
I heard you and Jo Yoo Sang met in Yangpyung every weekend.
Of course, Woo Ram was there as well.
There is a house in Yangpyung that's under my husband's name.
You hid the fact that you have a child and got married to Ma Dong Gu.
Jo Yoo Sang also hid that fact and got married to Cha Yoo Ran.
But you must've missed each other while you two were living with other people.
That's why you got a substantial amount of money from President Ma Dong Gu
so you, Jo Woo Sang, and Woo Ram could all live together as a family.
Your husband died and Jo Yoo Sang divorced Cha Yoo Ran.
It's as if you waited for this very moment to announce your wedding.
You've had a good life so far. Isn't it time to reveal the truth now?
You hid the fact you have a child and you married President Ma Dong Gu.
You framed him for adultery and forced him to kill himself.
Expose what you've done to the world and live with a clear conscience from now on.
You smeared his good name as well. Restore it.
And if I refuse?
Then... you give me no choice...
but to keep interfering.
How much do you want?
- What? - You like money.
How much do I have to give you to make you stop?
You still don't get it, do you?
What I want... is not money.
- The truth. - The truth...
Are you certain it's the truth you're trying to find?
Accept the money and step back
or go and find the real truth, but do one or the other.
If you don't, the wrong person might end up dead.
What?
If you don't want another person to die like Ma Dong Gu...
go and find the right one, got it?
Hello?
What? No, nothing's going on.
Don't worry about anything, and just proceed as we planned.
Our objective is to get married.
His name is Han Woo Ram, and he's 11 years old.
- 11 years old? - Yes.
He was born in the 'Dream' maternity clinic in Yangpyung.
10 million won was sent to an 11-year-old child every month?
Who is the mother?
Well...
President Ma Dong Gu's former wife, Ms. Han Mi Ree.
What?
- Did you investigate the father? - Yes, his name is Jo Min Gook.
- Who is Jo Min Gook? - I'm looking into it right now, ma'am.
I want a report as soon as you find out.
Yes, ma'am.
Han Mi Ree.
How dare you deceive DK.
If you don't want another person to die like Ma Dong Gu...
go and find the real one, got it?
Just who is going to die?
So Jung Woo, what are you doing here?
Welcome home. How was your day today?
What are you doing?
She's home.
Hello, Lawyer Go. Come and have a seat!
Oh my gosh.
The advantages of marriage.
When you've had a long and tiring day at work...
the man you love welcomes you home with open arms.
- So Jung Woo! - What?
I told you. I'm going to show you the advantages of marriage.
- Let's go. - Eat this.
Hurry and sit down.
Mr. So... no, Lawyer So made this stir-fried squid and it is so good!
- It's to die for! - It's pretty good.
You cooked too?
I was contemplating what kind of snack to make.
I got the feeling you had a tough day today.
So I made a dish infused with tons of taurine in it.
This stir-fried squid will restore your energy.
I sprinkled it with spicy red pepper and I stirred and tossed to perfection.
The taste is amazingly, amazingly... how should I put it? It's just amazing.
- Say 'ah.' - What is the matter with you?
Have a bite. He made it for you.
Here. Say 'ah.'
It does taste good.
- But, you need to leave. - Huh?
You're not going anywhere! Sit down and have a drink!
Thank you, Father!
Maybe it's because I don't have a son.
But it's so nice to have you sit here and spend time with us.
Right?
I also want to be by your side and act as your son, sir!
This won't do. You need to go home. Get up, quickly. Right now.
- Get up. - Why are you making him leave?
- Go! - See you again, sir.
- Sure. Go home safely. - Yes, sir.
Did everything go well?
Can I ask who you met?
I'll tell you later.
I don't want to say good bye.
Me too.
But with the way you were behaving in my place, I had to send you home.
It's here.
The advantages of marriage.
We can be together every night.
- So Jung Woo! - Good night.
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
Ms. Yoon, what's wrong? What is it?
This! This!
- Final rent notice? - Huh?
I've been working for the Director for seven years
and during those years, I've never once uttered the word 'rent' before.
This notice means the Director's circumstance has definitely changed.
Ms. Yoon, look at this!
What?
Director Bong In Jae has taken over this building.
What?
The building has been taken over, there are no clients
and the rent is unpaid.
At this rate, we're all going to get fired.
- Don't you think so? - No wonder.
The Director's fortune today was troubling.
What was it?
'Practice self-control, or you will find yourself standing upon a pile of debt.'
Han Mi Ree just made an official announcement through a press release
She plans on marrying her fellow actor, Jo Yoo Sang.
- When did you get here? - Just now.
It's Han Mi Ree.
The person you met yesterday was Han Mi Ree, wasn't it?
'A lawyer and office manager...'
'may talk to each other about their client's case.'
You and I as well as those two.
We were all involved with the Han Mi Ree case, right?
Your whole team is here. What are you hesitating for?
Ta-da.
Where did you take my Woo Ram? Where did you take him?
- There is where it ends? - Yes.
Isn't that woman Hong Eun Sul?
You're right. She's the secretary whom Ma Dong Gu had an affair with.
Isn't it a little strange, though?
If Jo Yoo Sang and Han Mi Ree are the biological parents...
Why would Jo Yoo Sang hide Woo Ram from Han Mi Ree?
No kidding. He's their son.
Hye Rin, find out where Hong Eun Sul is located.
Kyung, I want you to get whatever information you can find on Woo Ram.
Wow! I never dreamed the four of us would look into Han Mi Ree.
Pick something to eat.
I want to eat bibim naengmyun and mul naengmyun.
Get both.
If you eat mul naengmyun, I can eat bibim naengmyun.
If you eat bibim naengmyung, I can eat mul naengmyun.
- Really? - So how about it?
If you get married, you can eat both of these noodles forever.
- Isn't that awesome? - No.
Look at that married couple over there.
The moment they came in and up to now...
they haven't said a single word to each other.
That is how it will turn out if you get married, So Jung Woo.
The romance disappears and all that's left is coexistence.
Do you want me to become a woman
who eats naengmyun with one foot propped on the table?
So how about it? You don't want to get married, right?
Excuse me... one order of mul naengmyun and bibim naengmyun please.
Ah, right. It seems our building has been taken over by Director Bong In Jae.
What do you mean?
A final rent notice was addressed to Lawyer Bong.
What?
Don't worry.
I'll pay the office rent with the rent money I receive from this villa.
[Owner: BF Law Firm, Bong In Jae]
[Seocho Villa]
- Father. - See? The villa is gone too.
Plus, paying the rent isn't the only thing.
What are you going to do
about Ms. Yoon, Yoo Mi, and So Jung Woo's paycheck?
Cheok Hee, you don't think I won't be able to pay my employees, do you?
- What is that? - The rings I picked up.
- Get a refund. - Get a refund?
Me?
You said you might not be able to pay them.
Ms. Yoon is very dedicated to you. You know that, right?
She's acquired at least 12 certifications just so she can match your standards.
This is Yoo Mi's first job.
It there's a break in her career...
she'll have a hard time getting hired by a new office.
As of now, this is the only solution.
You can do it.
I... can do it.
That's right.
Oh my, Director Bong!
If you're here, come inside! Don't just leave! Come in!
I just came to look around, that's all.
Manager, how are you feeling today?
My eldest son failed his college exams.
I'm quite all right! You're here now, Director!
You always spend so generously. I am forever grateful.
But, what is this?
It's nothing.
We have a new item that just came in.
I set it aside so I could show it to you.
- Ms. In Jae. - Yes, ma'am.
What do you think?
It looks similar to the one I bought before.
Then... Ms. In Jae, bring the other one.
What about this design?
It's a four-squared diamond, so it's really hard to find a model like this.
11, 12, 13, 14, 15...
Are you insane? I told you to get a refund, not to buy more rings!
Reputation is a scary thing.
All my credit cards are frozen, but they gave it to me in good faith.
- Let's go. - Where?
- We have to return it. - Again?
I can't! I won't! How can I get a refund?
I'd rather pay for it in monthly installments.
I can't do it!
I came to get a refund.
My second child flunked out of middle school.
My condition right now is a bit...
Cheok Hee, the manager's second child flunked out of international middle school
and her eldest son failed his college exams.
Shall I tell you about my life?
It's not enough that my only sister sold our house
but she also sold my father's store.
Just recently, she destroyed a customer's Lamborghini at her workplace.
The settlement money alone came out to be 30 million won.
Shall I continue?
My father sells eel at the fish market in Busan...
- Wait... I'll give you a refund. - What?
Ma'am... fighting!
You saw that? This is how you get a refund!
I've eventually left a scar on the manager's heart.
Here.
You do the rest. I have to head to the office.
Okay.
Father has taken away my house, my cars... right now, I'm just so...
Hong Eun Sul emigrated to France.
She hasn't returned to Korea ever since the Ma Dong Gu case.
I looked for Woo Ram's name in the family registry
and he's registered as the son of Han Mi Ree's father.
Also, Jo Yoo Sang's home address From 2005 to 2007
matches up with Woo Ram's home address.
It's pretty clear that Joo Yoo Sang is the father.
What are you going to do now?
Should we just release it to the media?
No.
The objective is not to bring Han Mi Ree down.
The objective is to reveal how President Ma Dong Gu died.
Why don't you convince Jo Yoo Sang instead?
- Jo Yoo Sang? - Yeah.
You might be able to get through to him.
That might be better.
- Kyung, bring me Han Mi Ree's file. - Okay.
There are so many children who could gain a new life
if they can get a bone marrow transplant.
Please share your life with these children.
Isn't that Woo Ram?
It is him.
Woo Ram... needs a bone marrow transplant?
If you don't, the wrong person might end up dead.
The internet article said that Woo Ram was here.
Did he get discharged?
Talk to the people in this ward and see if they know anything about Woo Ram.
Okay.
Who are you?
I'm here to meet Woo Ram.
He's been discharged.
Really?
Has the child's condition improved a little?
Besides the guardian, I can't tell you.
I see.
The people in this ward are saying that Woo Ram has aplastic anemia.
He's being admitted again for surgery tomorrow.
They said if he doesn't get a bone marrow transplant... he'll die.
On top of that, his blood type is an AB Rh-negative.
I guess it's not easy for him to get a transplant.
But I heard there's a family member who kept changing their mind
about donating their bone marrow.
He almost had surgery three times, but it was canceled at the last minute.
- Who was the relative? - I don't know.
Kyung, I'm sorry, but I need you to find that out for me.
Sure. What about Jo Yoo Sang?
- Are you going to see him alone? - Yes.
- Call me. - I will.
You want me to reveal what?
The unjust death of President Ma Dong Gu three years ago.
I know you were also an accomplice.
Your son... is at the Blue Hospital.
Lawyer Go Cheok Hee, is it?
Lawyer Go, why are you so interested in our personal lives?
I'm not interested in your personal lives.
But as an accomplice myself... I only want to take responsibility.
Excuse me.
Hello?
About the relative who kept changing their mind about the transplant.
It was Jo Min Gook.
What?
Jo Min Gook is Jo Yoo Sang's real name, right?
Also, Woo Ram's transplant surgery is scheduled for next week.
Got it.
Please stop bothering us.
If you don't, someone might end up dead.
If you don't want to see a person die...
then stop.
Accept the money and back off
or go and find the real truth, but do one or the other.
If you don't, the wrong person might end up dead.
Is it broken?
I know I parked it here.
No way...
Seriously, old man!
- Director Bong. - What is it?
Even a mute magpie was given a couple of persimmons out of courtesy.
Don't you think this is a bit harsh?
You should've at least left one car behind!
I just received a lawsuit from DK.
I'm looking at the amount of money we have to return
and even if I sold everything you own, it would barely scratch the surface.
- What else are you going to take? - The gym, the stable...
the penthouse. You are denied access to all of them.
Don't go and embarrass yourself for nothing.
I suggest you heed my words.
Even the penthouse?
I think I let someone borrow it.
Jo Soo Ah! Soo Ah!
Were you forced to check-out already?
- What happened? - Hold on. Let me catch my breath.
I have no car, so I ran all the way here from home.
Is Director Bong In Jae behind this?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I told you to relax and this happens.
Instead of here, my villa... was also taken away.
Oh, the company condo... is gone too.
The Cheongdam Residence!
That's been taken too!
Where are you going to go?
It's okay. I was going to find a place to live anyways.
I don't think I can go back to Jung Woo's place again.
I'll look around while I'm staying at a hotel.
I'll give you a ride then.
I don't have a car!
Dad, are you going somewhere?
There's a small stall up for sale in the fish market.
I want to take a look at it.
Let's just all live together.
Where do you think you get that nasty temper from?
I will go crazy if I don't work.
Okay, have a safe trip then.
Are you sick?
No, no. I've just over-strained myself the past several days.
You brat. Take some medicine, okay?
Okay. Let's go.
- Goodness, you're coughing quite a bit. - I'm fine.
Who are you?
Hi.
I'm here to see your mom.
My mom?
Woo Ram.
- Where is your mom? - I don't know.
What do we do? You're scheduled for an exam right now.
Please go. I'll inform his mother.
Thank you, that would be great. Woo Ram, let's go.
- Don't do this. - Let go.
You said you would do it this time.
You said you would take care of Go Cheok Hee.
Our Woo Ram will really die if we miss this chance!
If Go Cheok Hee exposes our lives, I will die.
So, hurry up and take care of that first.
You said you would agree to the surgery if I married you.
- How can you do this again? - If you want my bone marrow...
Take care of Go Cheok Hee first.
You're a monster. He is your flesh and blood!
Call me after you've taken care of Go Cheok Hee.
You!
What was that all about?
- What were you guys talking about? - Get out.
- Han Mi Ree. - Get out! Just leave me alone!
Is Mi Hee still out?
There's no medicine.
[My Man]
Hello?
What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?
No, I'm fine.
You don't sound fine.
I think I pushed myself too hard.
I'm going to sleep, okay?
Is it Mi Hee?
Lawyer So.
- Are you alone? - Yes.
My dad went to Busan.
I didn't even call him to see if he got there safely.
He said he arrived safely.
What?
There's an empty spot next to Mr. Yong Do's store.
He likes the price, but not the location. He's contemplating it right now.
What are you doing?
So, don't worry about your father... and take the medicine.
Ah right, you need water. Hold on.
Here. Take it.
Thanks. Go, now.
You're burning up a bit.
Don't lie down on the sofa. Go to your room and sleep.
I don't have the energy to go there.
It's okay.
You're still here?
I can't believe you let it get this bad.
What are you doing?
Hey...
- Sleep. - I told you I'm fine.
So Jung Woo.
This is from the medicine.
I'm not falling asleep because you're next to me.
It's strictly the medicine.
If you marry me... I'll put you to sleep every night.
What do you think? You want to do it, right?
No. No...
Did he leave?
Lawyer So.
So Jung Woo.
How are you feeling?
- Are you okay? - Why are you sleeping here like this?
Thanks for taking care of me, but I'm not going to marry...
36.56 degrees celsius. Yes!
Congratulations, Ms. Go Cheok Hee. You are finally back to normal. Yay!
- Thank you. - See?
You got all better because you were with me.
So how about it? You still don't want to get married?
What are you two doing?
- Hey, Mi Hee. - Give me a break.
What is this?
The Director asked me to give this to you.
It's the current analysis of your financial situation.
Just tell me. I think it'll only hurt more if I see it.
In short, other than this house, everything has been taken away.
He said the villa is the magpie's food.
Thoughtful old man.
Let's go.
I'm still going to be late, but I have to walk to work.
Lawyer So, why are you coming out of there this morning?
Min Kyu!
Soo Ah, why are you coming out from there?
Jung Woo.
Lawyer Go was sick, so I took care of her all night.
She doesn't look very sick to me.
I'm all better now.
Why are you coming out with Lawyer Jo?
I'm here on an errand for the Director.
Lawyer So!
Yes?
Did you bring your car with you?
Yes. Why do you ask?
I'm worried about global warming
and I thought it might be better to take one car to work.
Your car... what's the safety rating?
I'm sorry, but Lawyer Go is still recovering.
I'm going to drop her off first before I head to work. I'm sorry. Let's go.
Maybe I should've put on my sneakers instead.
Be safe and take your medicine on time.
Lawyer So.
Thank you.
While I was with you last night...
I thought to myself it wouldn't be so bad living with you if we got married.
When you were next me... I felt warm and cozy.
I wanted to lean on you.
I wanted to depend on you.
Then let's get married.
The thing is... I'm still afraid as ever.
No one gets married thinking that they're going to get a divorce someday.
But, one-third of the world gets a divorce.
One-third are happily married.
Love alone is not enough to hold a marriage together.
Love is the one thing that can restore a marriage.
Breaking up is so painful.
We know that better than anyone else.
It's better to have some painful memories...
than no memories at all.
That's happiness.
If you hate it, fine.
I don't want to force you.
However, if it's not hate...
but just fear...
You don't have to worry about that.
Because fear...
- will disappear. - What?
You showed it to me.
When I was seized with fear in the subway...
You held my hand.
As we walked one step at a time...
You showed me that this fear could disappear.
So, this time...
you take my hand.
I'll make your fear disappear.
Think about it one more time.
I'm going to go.
Someone once told me...
to be an adult is to take responsibility for the mess you made.
Let's take responsibility for our actions, Jo Soo Ah.
Ms. Mi Hwa.
I swear!
- That hurts! What's wrong? - Are you sure you're my daughter?
Why?
I almost had a heart attack when I went to that penthouse of yours!
They said you left!
I'm sorry. Something suddenly came up, so I couldn't call you.
I thought you disappeared because of what Jung Woo had done on my birthday.
I was so shocked!
So you ran all the way here in this hot weather?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh. I packed some cucumber kimchi for you to eat.
The liquid must've leaked while I was running.
Your nice office is going to smell.
Ms. Mi Hwa.
- Ms. Mi Hwa. - What is it?
You said you adore me because I'm your daughter and not because I'm kind, right?
Of course!
What... what's the matter with you?
It was just unfair.
I tried so hard for 26 years and it didn't work out.
For some people, they say it's fate. That's so unfair.
It took me three times to pass the bar.
There wasn't anything I couldn't accomplish as long I made an effort.
- But this... - I know how unfair it is.
That's how I felt when I parted ways with Jung Woo's father.
I know exactly how you feel.
I'm sorry, Ms. Mi Hwa.
I really wanted to be a good daughter.
I'm sorry.
- I am so sorry. - Goodness.
What is making you cry like this?
People are looking. Stop crying.
- I have to go somewhere. - Where?
There is someone I need to see.
I wonder if the Director paid the rent.
He's not going to fire us, right?
He cares about the office.
- Jung Woo... - Let's wait and see.
So, this time... you take my hand.
I will make your fear disappear.
What... brings you here?
I need to tell you something.
Did you know I was going to use this office?
- What? - I...
signed a contract so I could open a law firm with Jung Woo.
That was my dream. To work and eat together in one office.
But in that place...
there's you.
Ms. Go Cheok Hee.
Yes?
There is something I haven't said to Jung Woo.
I... went to see him, but I couldn't open my mouth
so I came to you.
What is it?
Jung Woo... is looking for you.
You know about the subway accident in 2008, right?
Yes.
He almost died back then, but someone put a mint candy in his mouth.
It was you.
Excuse me?
Who did you say it was?
The person who saved Jung Woo was you, and the person you saved...
That person was So Jung Woo.
It's over now.
Please tell Jung Woo that I am truly sorry.
[My Man]
Where are you? Can you see me for a moment?
Okay, I'll be waiting.
What happened? Are you okay?
I was just... I was just a little dizzy.
Wait!
Mint candy.
I really want to forget it.
There is a day I can never forget.
But that day...
there was a piece of candy inside my mouth.
What's going on? Why did you want to meet up all of a sudden?
You said fear will disappear, right?
Yes.
By any chance...
at the time of the subway accident...
the thing that made your fear disappear...
was it this?
How... How did you know...
Suck on it. In that way you'll live.
You...
June 25th... 2008.
That day...
Do you remember?
What?
Loser?
Look who's talking.
Fine, let's get a divorce!
I was on the same train that day.
What's this?
Lawyer?
Divorce Specialty Law Firm.
A blessing?
If you can live without seeing the person you hate to death...
Wouldn't you call that a blessing?
As the train stopped... I lost a picture of my mom.
That was the only picture I had of her.
Fire! Fire!
Remember what I said?
My mom likes mint candy, so I always carry some around with me.
I heard somewhere that a person survived by eating candy
so I took out the mint candy.
Please save me. Please save me.
Fortunately, I had two piece of mint candy on me.
Hey.
Wait. Please take her with you.
The moment I was about to eat the last piece of candy...
I saw a man.
He was passed out with a law book clutched in his arms.
It's as if I was seeing myself back then when I was a high school senior.
I had my mom's surgery money in my hands
and I was crying because I wanted to go to law school.
Cheok Hee, being sorry towards me is not how you're supposed to pay me back.
Pay it back to someone else.
As punishment for letting my mom die...
If I had to save one person during my lifetime...
I felt like it had to be that man.
Hey! Hey!
Suck on it. In that way you'll live.
Hold on.
Hurry.
You're alive.
I thought you were dead...
So Jung Woo.
You said wanted to get married, right?
Let's give it a shot and live together.
