- Come here. Come. - Ouch.
Let's go and tell your mother that...
she shouldn't have given birth to a son like you.
You're making no sense.
I was born 30 years ago. It's too late for that.
You little...
It's not like Joon Young hit someone...
or betrayed his country.
Why did you lock him up when he's sick?
If it wasn't for him,
you'd be living in a prison cell somewhere.
How ungrateful can you be?
I'm doing this because I am grateful.
What?
Do you even know where Joon Young is trying to go?
He's trying to go to jail to find Producer Noh.
- To jail? - Yes.
Producer Noh is in jail for attempted murder...
because she tried to hit Congressman Choi with her car.
Mum...
How dare they...
lock you up when you're so sick.
Get up. Let's get you to a hospital. Get up.
Let's go. Come with me.
I have to see Eul.
Help me.
I need to go to her.
Please help, Mum.
Mum.
What did you just say?
Congressman Choi Hyun Joon?
Yes.
What do you think will happen if people find out...
that he's friends with someone who tried to kill...
a congressman?
That's why I locked him up.
Okay?
Hey.
I don't think I understood correctly.
Did...
Did you say his name was...
Choi...
Choi Hyun Joon? Are you sure?
Help me.
No, no.
You can't go anywhere in this state.
Mum.
You stay right here.
I'll go and get some medicine first.
Choi Hyun Joon.
If you stayed by his side,
he wouldn't have become such a horrible person.
If you stayed with him instead of running away,
he wouldn't have fallen into corruption.
It's all because of you.
It's your fault.
It's because of you.
It's all on you!
It's your fault! Everything's your fault!
It's your fault.
What do you think you're saying?
How dare you talk to your mum like that...
just because you're crazy over some girl.
Hey, do you have any idea how your mum raised you?
Do you know what she had to go through...
to raise you decently even when you had no father?
She did her best to raise you well.
But is that all you have to say to her?
Jeong Sik.
You ungrateful fool.
Do you even know how she feels inside?
What an ungrateful child.
Wait outside.
You may be a star, but you aren't a star to us.
Do you think you're something great just because...
people praise you all the time?
You jerk. If you were my son, you would've been dead.
I told you to go outside, Jeong Sik.
Go and wait outside.
Listen carefully.
If you hurt your mum,
it'll all come back and hurt you more.
Make sure you remember that.
I'll go and get some medicine.
I'll crawl there if I have to.
If you don't help me,
I'll crawl over to Eul.
My goodness.
Eul.
Joon Young.
Why are you so late?
I waited so much for you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I...
I wasn't trying to kill him.
I'm serious. I wasn't trying to kill Choi Hyun Joon.
I was going to forget about everything...
and live like nothing ever happened. I'm serious.
I know.
I'm so scared, Joon Young.
Why are you scared?
I'm here for you.
- Let's go. - Where to?
We have a trip to go on.
We promised to come back after 10 years.
Let's go.
Right now?
Yes, right now.
Come on.
Let's return...
after staying here for 100 years.
Let's live here where no one can find us.
We can return after living here for 100 years.
Everything turned cold.
I'll heat it up again.
So?
Has he not eaten anything since yesterday?
That's not all. I don't think he's even breathing.
- What if Joon Young dies, Dad? - My goodness.
How can a man die just because of a girl?
I should go there with a shovel.
Tell him to wait. I'll shove food down his throat.
My goodness.
You little...
Jik.
Why are you here? Don't you have a test today?
I walked out in the middle of the test.
I understand. You probably can't focus on anything.
I wish Hyun Woo was with us right now.
He studied law, so he probably knows a few lawyers.
Where on earth did he disappear to?
Forget him.
Both Hyun Woo and Joon Young can get lost.
We can take care of ourselves.
But...
what if Eul cries?
I've never seen her cry after I grew up.
If I see her cry right now,
I think I might go insane.
What do I do, Na Ri?
I'm letting you do this only because he's sick.
Thank you.
This one middle-aged lady came in this morning.
She got caught running away with lodge money.
Do you know who Lee Mario is?
She was a lady, but she looked exactly like him.
I was so shocked.
It's not the time for you to laugh.
You're right. It's not.
When I saw her, I said,
"Look, it's Lee Mario."
"What brings you here?"
I even greeted her like this.
- Isn't this funny? - Eul.
Jik, don't you know who Lee Mario is?
Don't you remember?
The guy who used to dance like this.
Don't you know?
- Eul. - Na Ri, you must know.
Don't you remember the guy who danced like this?
Eul, what's with you? You're embarrassing me.
That's not right.
This is Lee Mario's dance.
Like this. Do you understand?
You're right. That's it.
It's this.
Stop frowning, Jik.
It's not like I'm dying.
I'll be out soon, so find a great tofu place for...
Eul, you weren't really...
trying to kill that congressman, right?
Of course...
not.
I knew it.
I'm good, then.
I heard Joon Young was there, too.
Why doesn't he visit?
He can bear witness and say that you weren't...
I told you not to even...
mention his name.
Jik went to Joon Young...
and asked for help.
But apparently, he didn't even open the door.
Don't trust him, Eul.
I'll take care of everything.
I'll prove your innocence and...
If you're a student, you should go to school and study.
Eul.
By the way, Joon Young just called me.
He said he's soon going to come and pick me up.
He may even be on his way.
Joon Young.
Go to the parking lot.
Get on a car.
Start the car.
Take off.
You have 59km left until your destination.
And 58km.
This is your mum's yukgaejang.
It's what you've always wanted.
At least have a bite.
If you're threatening me by not eating,
you should give up.
I'm supposed to keep you in here even if you starve.
Your mum ordered me to do so.
I knew this would happen.
I was waiting around for this.
Here.
You can't even put this on yourself.
Why are you getting yourself hurt in the first place?
You should be more careful when using a knife.
Choi Hyun Joon.
If you stayed by his side,
he wouldn't have become such a horrible person.
If you stayed with him instead of running away,
he wouldn't have fallen into corruption.
Young Ok.
Young Ok, where are you going?
What brings you here?
Please let Producer Noh out.
Do you like her?
Since when?
The moment you and mum began to ruin her life...
by fabricating and hiding the truth.
I see.
Ji Tae, ever since you were young,
you were always full of compassion.
When you saw someone crying,
you'd stop and ask, "What's wrong? How may I help?"
- Father. - But...
don't you have too much to lose...
to risk it all on pity?
I'm not scared.
I see.
Then you can go out and tell everyone this.
"Choi Hyun Joon received an undeniable request..."
"while serving as a prosecutor..."
"and thus, covered up a hit-and-run case."
"His wife, Lee Eun Soo, played along..."
"and destroyed a little girl's life."
"In return, the couple received..."
"everything they ever dreamt of..."
"and are on a roll without boundaries."
"These two are my parents."
Tell that to everyone.
Why?
Do you think you can't?
If you don't have the courage to say this,
shut your mouth and become a coward,
just like how I was before.
Ms Shin, I'm so upset.
I was going to call you.
I'm afraid that he might really die.
He wouldn't sleep or drink a drop of water.
He wouldn't even eat your yukgaejang.
This is so frustrating.
What about him?
What did he do?
He is an honourable man.
He is incomparable to us.
Who said something that absurd?
Who's been spreading such nonsense?
Tell me who so that I can sew up that person's mouth.
Tell me who said such a thing.
I saw him.
What?
I saw him with my own two eyes.
I saw how terrible,
selfish...
and brutal...
that man is.
Why did you love someone like him?
You're probably mistaken.
You probably mistook him.
He is someone...
who would give everything for the poor...
even when he didn't have enough money for himself.
When everyone else...
disregarded me for being uneducated and poor,
he was so considerate that...
he hid the fact that he's a law school student...
and told me that he was also uneducated and poor.
Eul's father...
died from a hit-and-run accident.
Why are you bringing that up now?
Choi Hyun Joon was a senior prosecutor at that time.
He fabricated the suspect...
for his way to success.
What?
I thought she was okay.
Time has passed,
so I thought she put everything behind her.
But Eul still remembers everything.
I thought she was okay,
but Eul was still living in darkness.
Choi Hyun Joon, the assailant,
forgot about everything he did...
and is living in paradise.
But that's not right, Mum.
That's not how this world should be.
Jeong Sik was right.
You are out of your mind...
because of that gold-digger.
- Mum. - He is...
the most fabulous,
the most wonderful...
and the nicest man...
I know in this world.
He is someone...
you can never dare to be compared to.
You crazy fool! You don't know anything!
And stop calling him by his name.
- He's your father. - That's why...
I almost killed Eul.
I considered that dirty man as my father.
I tried to cover up his embarrassment,
and I ended up almost killing her.
Is that why...
you quit school?
Is that why you said...
you don't deserve to be a prosecutor...
and that you're hopeless?
Yes.
How can I judge other people's sins after doing that?
He's running 2 hours and 30 minutes late...
because his fans caught him on the way.
The traffic light must be broken.
So that must take him about an hour and 50 minutes.
He ran out of gas, so he went to get some.
Then he changed the engine oil.
While he's at it, he got a car wash.
And now,
he has 43km left.
And 42.9km.
And 42.8km.
How can this happen?
I have really good ears,
so I heard everything you two said.
That's why...
after I take you home,
I'm planning to...
go back and unlock his room.
If we leave him like that,
he could really die.
They said you can't meet her even if you leave now.
My name is Shin Joon Young.
I'd like to meet Congressman Choi Hyun Joon.
Is he not home?
He's not here at the moment.
Dad came home just a while ago.
Why? Is someone here?
- No, it's... - It's Joon Young, Dad.
That hurts, Mum.
What do you mean, Joon Young?
It's nothing. They found the wrong house.
Go in and study.
Hurry.
Are you...
talking about Shin Joon Young,
the celebrity that Ha Ru likes?
Yes, you're right, Dad.
Why would he come looking for me?
I'm sorry.
We can't deal with everyone looking for him.
I'm sorry to barge in like this.
Did you eat dinner?
Yes.
Honey, you can go to your room.
Ha Ru, you should go and study.
I have to talk to him,
so don't come near the study.
This way, please.
Mum, I'm not seeing things, right?
Shin Joon Young is really at our house, right?
Ha Ru, will you hold me?
You don't look so well.
Were you sick?
Yes, I was.
That's not good.
Well...
what brings you here this late at night?
Is it because of Producer Noh?
Yes.
I thought so.
However,
attempted murder isn't a crime subject to complaint,
so things won't change even if I drop charges.
Isn't this something you know, as well?
At first, the case was considered as poor driving.
A week later, it changed into an attempted murder case.
Why did you change your mind?
Because I know for a fact...
that she tried to kill me.
Why do you think Eul tried to kill you?
That's what I'd like to know, too.
I heard she's been remaining silent.
Will you ask her...
why she tried to kill me on my behalf?
If she really wanted to kill you,
she would've taken a chance to do so five years ago.
If she really wanted to kill you,
she wouldn't have made a turn.
Excuse me, Joon Young.
Of course, if I was her,
I would've...
never made that turn.
Young Deuk.
Call...
Call the doctor...
and tell him...
to stay open...
because a patient will be there soon.
You came a long way in the midst of your busy schedule,
but I'm sorry. I can't help you.
I'd like to thank you again for risking your life...
- to save me. - I regret that.
I don't have any hard feelings against you.
I can't explain it,
but I do feel a certain fondness towards you.
Can you believe that?
My daughter is a huge fan of yours.
Will you dine with her...
What is this?
I hope...
to never see you again.
I hope...
this is the last time I see you in this life.
What brings you here?
I came to threaten Congressman Choi.
So...
did you succeed?
I'm not sure.
Hello, Mr Lim. It's me.
It's about Noh Eul.
No.
You can't let her go.
If you do,
she'll try to kill you again.
- Honey. - You're Choi Hyun Joon.
Don't give in to Shin Joon Young's threat.
Honey, please.
Five years ago,
if only Eul had taken that USB to the TV station...
If only you hadn't taken that USB away from Eul...
Hey, stop!
Stop right there!
If everyone paid for their sins at that time...
If everyone paid for what they were responsible for,
Eul would've lived a different life.
So...
you don't have any rights, either.
You don't have the rights to be happy with her, either.
Because like me,
you're also Choi Hyun Joon's son.
(Seocho Police Station)
Eul.
You must be worn out.
I'm fine.
I had fun thanks to Ms Lee Mario.
My goodness.
First, have this.
Don't go near Choi Hyun Joon from now on, okay?
Are you waiting for someone?
Are you waiting for Joon Young?
He's not going to come.
If he was going to, he'd be here already.
Where's Jik?
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes.
My goodness, you should go see a doctor.
Your call cannot be connected.
Please leave...
Why isn't Jik answering his phone?
I told you, Joon Young isn't coming.
Don't wait for him.
Can't you see?
Joon Young is avoiding you because...
you're someone who's been in jail.
Just give me 10 minutes.
Hey.
This isn't good. Let's go home.
I'll tell Jik to come straight home. Let's go.
Come on.
Okay, fine.
- Jik. - Jik.
- Hey, Eul. - Are you hurt?
- What happened? - It's nothing.
I sprained it, that's all.
I'm so sorry. I got distracted...
and didn't see him coming.
I'm really fine, Eul.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
I wanted to take him to a doctor,
but he insisted on coming here.
I'm truly sorry.
Ms Kim isn't someone who makes a mistake like this.
Things could've been much worse.
What if she stepped on the brakes a little later?
I don't even want to think about it.
Go.
Producer Noh was cleared and released today morning.
Also, your engagement suit fitting is at 4:30pm.
Go.
What... What is all this?
You told me you didn't want anyone to visit.
Were you just drinking and playing games all that time?
Fine, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for what I did.
If you tell me that you want me to die,
I could die right here.
But I don't regret what I did.
I think I did my best...
by keeping you intact in the midst...
of all this yellow journalism.
You didn't keep him intact.
I was the one who resuscitated him...
when he was as good as dead.
But all he does is play games right now.
By the way,
Producer Noh was cleared and released earlier today.
Aren't you going to visit her?
Why would he go there?
He should, though.
He's been longing for her for so long.
What are you talking about?
Stop talking nonsense.
Five years ago,
if only Eul had taken that USB to the TV station...
If only you hadn't taken that USB away from Eul...
If everyone paid for their sins at that time...
If everyone paid for what they were responsible for,
Eul would've lived a different life.
- You foolish jerk. - Let go.
I'm going to kill you.
- Joon Young. - Joon Young.
So...
you don't have any rights, either.
You don't have the rights to be happy with her, either.
Because like me,
you're also Choi Hyun Joon's son.
How dare you come here?
What trouble are you trying to get him into now?
Joon Young isn't going to deal with you any more.
So get lost...
while I'm being nice.
No.
What?
I won't get lost.
Why would I get lost?
Joon Young never visited you, did he?
You know how he is.
If he really missed you, he would've...
visited you a thousand times already.
I mean, he can walk, and he also has a car.
Aren't you smart enough to understand the situation?
Joon Young got drunk and told me this.
"I don't think love is about staying loyal."
"Eul will come looking for me when she gets released."
"Just thinking of seeing Eul again is killing me."
You liar.
(Na Ri)
It's me, Na Ri.
Go Na Ri.
I have a question.
Why didn't you visit Eul?
- Just because. - What?
How... How can you do that to her?
Do you know how eagerly she waited for you?
I'm sorry, Na Ri.
But I can't stay on the phone for...
I don't want to talk to you for long, either, you jerk.
I was just going to ask you...
to persuade her from leaving.
What are you talking about?
Where is she going?
Stop crying and tell me.
Na Ri.
I was hoping I'd never see you again.
Do you remember? After the trial,
I asked you to never appear before me and that...
we should end our ill-fated relationship here.
But why are you still hanging around like this?
Did you want to see how far I would go?
Your brother seems like a smart kid.
He looks like a person...
that would take...
good care of his only sister if he's kept alive.
(Shin Joon Young)
What brings you here this late?
Congratulations on your engagement, Jeong Eun.
Thank you, Dad.
I thought it wasn't possible to have...
a happy ending with one's first love.
It's all thanks to you.
I'll be forever grateful.
Her fiance, Choi Ji Tae,
is my daughter's first love.
People say that this engagement is...
all about politics and business,
but they don't know what they're saying.
Dad, don't say that.
When her friends wanted to become...
a lawyer, a doctor, a famous pianist and whatnot,
my daughter wanted to be...
What was it again?
My goodness.
I wanted to be Ji Tae's wife.
That's how she is.
Unlike how she looks, she's been...
hopelessly in love with one man for almost 20 years.
I'm so nervous.
I'm so nervous right now.
Dad, do you have a sedative?
Come on. Get in the car.
Aren't you going to tell me?
What is it that we have to run without telling Na Ri?
Did the loan sharks threaten to kill you?
We don't have time. Get in.
We can't leave our parents here.
How will you live overseas...
when you can't even speak a word of English?
How will you make a living?
- It's better than here. - What?
Wherever it is, it's a thousand times better than this.
Eul.
If you aren't coming, I'm leaving alone.
Eul.
To Incheon Airport, please.
Is he insane?
Hey, what's with you?
You are not going anywhere.
Get off right now, Eul.
Didn't it go through?
- Doesn't that work, either? - You know it doesn't.
Don't you have cash?
I do.
I probably do.
How can a lawyer not even have 10 dollars?
Here. I'll pay.
- Who are you? - Are you Lawyer Cha Taek Joong?
I am. Who are you?
You were also the prosecutor who was in charge of...
the hit-and-run case of Mr Noh Jang Soo in 2006, right?
Who are you?
Who's the real criminal that Choi Hyun Joon...
tried to cover?
(Uncontrollably Fond)
