01x16 - Episode 16

[bunniefuu]

you're physically okay.

As for me,

my vocal cords were completely crushed.

I can barely eat.

Ms. Min really did that to you?

Yes.

I wonder why the cops can't even
catch a housewife like her?

They'll catch her soon. There's nowhere
to hide in this tiny country.

Hey.

I only did

what you told me to do.

Instead of you, I was the one--

I was the one she assaulted,
you understand?

What about Taera?

Find anything?

It just makes no sense.

She can't just disappear into thin air.
Not if everyone's in on this.

The judge explained everything
at the trial, remember?

-No such woman exists, damn it.
-You gonna be like this too?

Hey, are you also in on it?

Hey.

I heard you were making up sh*t
about having a wife and daughter,

so you can reduce your sentence
by pleading insanity.

You diligent b*stard.

Good luck to you, punk!

Koo Sungchan!

We lost to Jang Kyojin.

Jang Kyojin won.

What?

The new chairman of Hatch…

is Jang Kyojin.

He changed everything about Hatch,
except for its name.

What are you saying?

Jang--

Jang Kyojin died in the expl*si*n.

Stop it, you luna-- Ouch.

[coughs]

You lunatic.

Thanks to you,

my family and everyone associated with me
will be investigated by the prosecution.

Let's for real never see each other again.

Hey, wait, wait, wait!

Okay, fine.

Tell them I made you do it.

Tell them you're innocent
and blame it all on me.

But… do me one last favor.

[prisoner] Oh, right there.

Ow, that hurts. Geez.

YBC NEWS

[Haesoo] This is YBC's
eight o'clock news. For our top story,

the successful bidder
of the former president-elect Pyo's home

has been revealed to be Jang Kyojin,
the new chairman of Hatch.

Since winning the former president-elect's
private residence

at a court auction on the 5th last month,

Kyojin and his wife announced their
plans to make it their home as newlyweds.

Kyojin is really alive?

[Haesoo]
From falling in love at first sight

on a flight from France en route to Korea,

to finally tying the knot.

Jang's love story with Mun
is the talk of the town.

No! No! No!

You're Hong Taera.

But why are you next to him?

Why?

-Taera. Taera.
-[prisoner] What a crazy prick.

Time for your medication.

-[prisoner 2] Hey, b*stard.
-There you go.

-Cut the crap, okay?
-[prisoner] You're a goner!

[Jaehyun] Taera.

Wait for me. I'm coming, Taera.

I'll be there soon.

PESTICIDE

[guard] Quickly! Hurry!

-Hey, move.
-What's going on?

-[Jaehyun groans]
-Hey, what is it?

-[guard] You guys hit him again?
-[prisoner] We didn't do anything!

I think the crazy b*stard
drank the whole thing.

Damn it.

Inmate 930, get up. You all right?

-Take him to the infirmary.
-Yes, sir.

[Jaehyun groaning]

We can't pump his stomach here.
He needs to be taken to a hospital.

Damn. This is driving me nuts.

I'll ask the warden,
so get him to calm down at least.

He has to survive.

[grunting and groaning]

I hope you make it, Jaehyun.

Attention. Inmate 930 is on the loose.

You okay? Hey, wake up!

[siren wailing]

[chuckles]

You did well, man.

[breathes heavily]

We don't have time.
Let's go to the townhouse.

Koo Sungchan had no choice.
I threatened him to follow my orders.

I am to blame for all his actions.

-[chuckling]
-You satisfied?

I had nothing to do

with your jailbreak today, yeah?

Our ill-fated relationship ends…

[normal voice] …here.

Goodbye now.

Taera.

Jang Kyojin!

-Pyo Jaehyun, you--
-You dare steal what's mine?

What is this?
How the hell did you get here?

Taera is mine.

This is my house! It's mine!

[No. 50] Stop it!

Are you crazy?

What're you doing, barging into our house?

Taera…

Honey, you okay?

It's me. Don't you recognize me?

Of course I do.

The worst criminal there is.

Did you escape from prison?

What do you have against my husband
that you'd break into our home?

Are you hurt, honey?

But I'm your husband.

You're doing this on purpose
to punish me, right?

Right, Taera?

Taera-- Taera!

My name is Mun Hagyeong.

Not Hong Taera.

I despise people like you.

You're creeping me out.

Get out of my sight now!

No!

You're Hong Taera.

You're my wife!
You're Pyo Jaehyun's woman.

-What the hell are you doing?
-[Jaehyun] Get off!

You're my woman.
You're Pyo Jaehyun's woman!

Hong Taera. You're Hong Taera!

[g*nsh*t]

[gasps, panting]

[sighs]

[sighing]

[footsteps approaching]

You…

"I need to find my missing wife,
Hong Taera, Your Honor."

"I need to find my daughter."

You could be an Oscar-winning actor.

Stop it, you jerks!

How dare you raise your voice
before His Honor!

-You have a death wish?
-Crush him!

-That's the president-elect.
-I know.

[prisoner laughs]

What's going on?

Was it all a dream?

[Kummo] Not too long ago,
you mocked me for being in here.

Let me look at you-- Oh, my.

[laughs]

How unfortunate.

You look just as terrible as I do.

Call me crazy, go ahead.

I don't really care.

Have you actually gone mad?

Why're you looking for a wife
and daughter you don't have?

The world may forget, but I remember.

They're my family,
and she's the only woman I loved.

I don't know what your sons did,

but everything will return
to its rightful place.

Look, look.

You won't have the chance to do that.

Your execution date is set.

I thought capital punishment
was abolished in Korea.

It's an executive order
from the president.

Here are your keepsakes.

BEST DAD AWARD

[Jiu] Ta-da.

It's an award for
the best dad in the world.

Jiu…

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy!

I remember them clearly!

Both my daughter and Taera.

Look at this! Look!

Jiu gave it to me,

saying I was the best dad in the world.

What'd you do to my family?

I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy!

No, no, no!

I can't die like this!
I won't die like this! [grunts]

[shouts] Help-- Help me!

Please help me!

Please help!

[screams]

[gasps, panting]

What's going on?

[Jaehyun] Why am I here again?

I clearly died a moment ago.

How is this possible?

Is time repeating itself?

[grunts, groans]

Who are you?

What did you do to me?

[groaning]

[Kyojin] Your suffering has only begun.

Many suffered and died because of you.

It's time you experience the same fate.

Thank you, everyone…

for coming here.

None of it's real, but he'll never know.

He'll be looking for Taera and Jiu
in there every day.

He'll learn how agonizing it is
to be unable to end his own life.

Ultimately,

he'll be trapped inside the world
that he tried to create for himself.

[grunts]

[groans]

You…

We have to hurry. We don't have much time.

This side effect from the microchip
will give him a 24-hour cardiac arrest.

You have to get him out
within that time frame.

[detective] He must be around here.
Search thoroughly!

[officers] Yes, sir.

Over here!

-Over here!
-Oh-- Over there!

-There they are!
-Are you okay, ma'am?

He's not breathing.

[detective]
Quick, call an ambulance. Come on!

I trusted him until the end.

He's the father of my child, after all.

RECORDING

I was scared, but--

I told him to apologize to the nation
and face the consequences…

but he said he'd rather we die together.

So I steered the car into the sea.

What happened to Jaehyun?

You okay, ma'am?

[Hagyeong]
Don't worry. I won't k*ll you just yet.

My husband confessed
all of his crimes to me.

I'll testify to everything.

I'll provide all related evidence
at home and the campaign office,

and give you full cooperation.

In return,

may I take his body?

Despite everything…

I want to give him a proper burial.

As you wish, ma'am.

[Haesoo]
Pyo Jaehyun's officially a dead man now.

[groans]

[Kyojin] As time passes,
he'll experience more pain and agony.

It'll be more painful than death

since Taera doesn't exist in that world.

Taera.

I'm fine.

I expected as much when I started this.

This is…

the gravest punishment to Jaehyun.

What about them?

Erase all the memories of Taera
in their heads, Kyojin.

[Hagyeong sighs]

[Kyojin] Jo's men
will turn themselves in tomorrow.

I've programmed them
to confess all crimes related to Jaehyun.

Thank you, Kyojin.

I'm sorry…

I was the only one who survived.

I'm really sorry, Taera.

How was Hajun…

in his final hours?

The doors are all locked.
They blocked the exits.

What?

There's an emergency exit. Follow me.

Up there.

There's a tunnel that leads to the sewer.

Hajun, come on.

[both grunting]

sh*t!

[both groan]

We got it. We got it.

[Hajun groans]

Hey.

Hey, you okay? Wake up.

Su-- Sujeong!

I'm not going to make it.

You should go.

Footage of the human experiments.

You have to survive, Kyojin.

[Kyojin breathes shakily]

Sujeong.

Sujeong!

[explosions]

Hajun, we have to close this door
right now.

Otherwise, the entire temple will explode.

Hajun!

What are you doing, Hajun!

Please…

take care of my sister.

You have to stop Pyo Jaehyun.

Hajun, don't do this.

You have to see your sister again!

Open the door, Hajun!

I should've gotten him out somehow.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I won't cry anymore…

I intend to keep my promise to Hajun.

I have to stay strong…

for my daughter Jiu's sake.

[president] My fellow Koreans,

I, President Seo Gukho…

REPUBLIC OF KOREA
OFFICE OF PRESIDENT

…cannot help but lament with the people

who had high hopes
for the new administration,

only to find ourselves devastated

by the recent tragedy.

The suspect Pyo Jaehyun may be dead,

but such a tragedy must be prevented
from ever happening again.

A special investigations unit
will be assigned

to shed light to every bit of the truth.

-You don't have the right.
-The right of representation!

[Jo] Mr. Uhm had evidence
implicating Pyo's crimes.

That's why he ordered me to steal them
and have Mr. Uhm k*lled.

Who did?

Pyo Jaehyun?

Yes.

I monitored Hong Taera 24-7
under Pyo Jaehyun's orders.

I reported who she met with,

and I wiretapped her phone.

Pyo's obsession with his wife

was pathological.

I'm Pyo Jaehyun's wife, Hong Taera.

I'd like to express my deepest apologies
to the nation.

Without knowing the truth,

I helped my husband lead
his shameful election campaign.

I never would've imagined
that he'd implanted

a microchip in my head.

The microchip in Ms. Hong's neck
is identical to those of the victims

of the president-elect's
ill*gal human experiments.

Which means she, too,
was just another victim of his.

Mr. Pyo manipulated his wife's memories

to make her completely devoted to him.

[Dr. Kang] It's true that I'd
given medication to Ms. Hong for 15 years,

so as to prevent her
from regaining her memories.

I was just following Pyo's orders.

I'm sorry.

-Coming through.
-Another question, Dr. Kang!

Is it true your identity as Hong Taera
was also fabricated by Pyo Jaehyun?

Yes. That's why, going forward,
I wish to abandon that name

and live by my real name.

I humbly ask of the people of Korea:

you may remember Pyo's crimes forever…

but please spare my daughter…

from living in the shadow
of her parents' crimes.

Whenever I imagine

the shock
and the hurt she'll experience…

I earnestly request this

as the mother of my child.

[Hagyeong]
You think the nation will spare us?

Everyone now knows
what you had to live with.

How Jaehyun controlled your life

and how much you suffered because of him.

People are rooting for you,

so you may as well
live happily as Mun Hagyeong.

Thank you, Haesoo.

It's all thanks to you.

You're going to Switzerland?

Yes.

Dojin arranged for me
to get the chip removal surgery there.

So I won't be seeing you for a while.

Promise me this.

Forget all the nightmares
you experienced here.

And also how I mistreated you.

Let's meet again
with smiles on our faces, Taera.

I'm so thankful that you came
into my life, Haesoo.

Me too.

[Dojin] Taera.

Right, it's Mun Hagyeong.

Sorry, I'm not used to that name yet.

It'll take time. It's fine.

Here are your new passports.

I got Jiu's passport with a new name too.

We'll take you to Switzerland
on Kumjo's private jet.

You'll fly early in the morning
to avoid any attention.

Thank you so much, Dojin.

We're leaving in 30 minutes. See you soon.

What's happening with you two?

Jiu!

Mommy!

I hope you didn't cry
because you missed me.

Of course not.
I had so much fun with Emma.

Right, Emma?

[in French] Hey, you look well.
I guess everything ended well.

Yes, it's all thanks to you.

[in Korean]
Are you done packing for our trip today?

Yes. But where's Dad?

Isn't he going?

He can't go.

I thought it'd be great
if Dad became president, but I hate it!

He's always so busy, I can't even see him.

But Haesoo is coming instead.

Leo is coming with her.

Really? When?

I hope they come soon.

[in French] Are you worried that she'll be
hurt when she learns about everything?

That you might've gone too far?

You did what you had to do.
One day, Jiu will understand that.

[Jiu giggles]

You're not alone in this. You've always
been like family to me, Taera.

[in Korean] He refuses to see me again?

Yes and also,

he said to never return.

He won't see you, even if you visit.

Is my father doing well?

He's doing too well.

Instead of repenting,
he's about to become the boss in here.

What?

[prisoner] Wow, Chairman.
Your appetite is as great as usual.

Look how eagerly he's eating.

This m*rder*r wants to live until
he's old enough to sh*t himself.

That's not fair, is it?

[screams]

Have you gone mad, you senile fool!

How dare you. Shall I k*ll you today?

Whether I k*ll you or not,
I'm a m*rder*r all the same.

I will be healthy and well
while I'm in here.

I must be punished for my sins
and fully serve my time here,

if I don't want to be ashamed
to face my friend in the next life!

So from now on,

unless you're determined to k*ll me,

don't you dare pick a fight with me.

Haesoo packed you some food.

She wanted me to tell you
not to skip any meals.

Thank you.

So, how did it go with Father?

Maybe it's because
he doesn't want to apologize,

but he refuses to see me.

He should at least apologize to Haesoo.
Is that so hard?

That's just who he is.

He has trouble expressing his feelings.

I'm sure he feels sorry inside.

Kyojin.

Why aren't you asking about Mother?

The police are looking for her.

But it seems like Ms. Eun hid her well.

They can't track her down.

[Kyojin] I have no idea
why she's gone off the radar

after what she did to Sungchan.

She believes I'm dead,

but she still hasn't given up
on her greed.

How's Taera?

She's leaving tomorrow, right?

Tell her not to worry.

Pyo Jaehyun is my cross to bear now.

Oh, yeah, don't forget what you promised.

If this job is too much for you,
quit immediately.

None of us want to see you break down.
You know that, right?

I'll keep the promise. Don't worry.

Have you seen her?

[nurse] I don't think so.

WANTED FOR BATTERY
MIN YOUNGHWEE

[sighs]

We located Kyojin.

Where is he right now?

Is that you, Dojin?

Dojin.

Great timing.
I had something to give Taera, so--

[breathes shakily]

How did you find me?

My baby.

I knew you were alive.

Thank you, Kyojin.

Thank you for staying alive.

Thank you, Buddha.

Kyojin. Kyojin!

What…

What are these burn scars?

Did you really survive that fire?

Were you in that lab?

Did you get treatment at a hospital?
Let me see.

Get off me.

Kyojin!

Your son died at Mokeum Temple.

Kyojin, why are you doing this
to your mom?

Everything-- Everything I did--

It was all for you!

Stop saying it was all for me, please!

I abandoned you the moment I found out
you were working with Jaehyun.

I can't watch you
become a monster because of me!

Leave.

Okay. I will.

But you should come with me.

Let's go home.

Why would you stay here?

We should go. Let's go home.

That b*stard is still alive?

ERROR

-Forget him.
-You…

Are you…

No.

Don't get your hands dirty.

I'll be the one…

who kills Pyo Jaehyun.

-I will--
-Please stop!

Do you want me
to hand you over to the police?

Go ahead. I will accept the punishment.

I'll do whatever you tell me to do!

But you can't stay here.

Come with me.

Let's go, Kyojin.

No!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Are you okay?

Mother.

Kyojin.

Mother!

I'm okay.

My son…

My son…

You're innocent.

So don't hide.

I'll…

take your sins upon myself.

My son is good. My…

Mother, no. Please open your eyes.

Please open your eyes.
You can't die like this, Mother!

Mother! Mother!

No, Mother.

No. Please open your eyes, Mother!

Mother!

It's been exactly 42 days

since our family ate together like this.

You were counting?

Come on, it hasn't been that long.

[Dojin chuckles]

Fine, come to think of it, maybe it has.

My bad. I'm sorry.

Hey, Leo.

Your dad and I have something to tell you.

Well, your mom and I

are going to become friends now.

Best friends, like you and Jiu.

I'll probably have to move out.

But…

I'll come over often.

You can see me whenever you want.

Leo.

I said I'm against it.

I'm against you and Mom getting a divorce!

Why don't I have any say in this?

I'm sorry, Leo.

But your dad and I
still love you very much.

We're a family,

and that will never change.

I was so happy today

because you two were friendly again.

I hate both of you!

Le-- Leo!

I'll go talk to him.

You've had a long day.

Get some rest.

-Are you sure?
-[sighs]

You'll talk to him tomorrow,
and the day after that, I will again.

We'll beg for forgiveness
until our son feels okay.

Hopefully, he'll forgive us one day.

Okay, I'll keep asking for forgiveness
from Leo

and from you.

All of us

will gradually find our places
in all this.

Wait, Haesoo.

Can I…

hold you one last time?

[sighs]

Kyojin.

Dojin.

Mother…

Mother passed away.

What?

What do you mean?

She found me.

But now--

Okay, Kyojin. I'll be right there.

No.

Find Pyo Jaehyun first.

That b*stard escaped!

He might go to the townhouse.

Wait.

[Haesoo]
I may as well see Taera before I go.

She's not done packing her things yet.

You want to help her now?

It's late.

I won't be able to sleep anyway.

Taera?

Is that you?

[sighs]

[gasps]

[screams, muffled]

[groans]

Haesoo! Ko Haesoo!

Haesoo!

Haesoo! [panting]

Haesoo! Haesoo!

[cell phone beeps]

[intercept] This number is unavailable.
Please leave a message--

[Jaehyun] Bring me Hong Taera.

[screams]

Kyojin!

Where's Mother?

Ms. Eun took her to Mokeum Temple.

She told me not to tell the cops
so things don't get complicated.

Do you think Mother is really dead?

What if she wakes up again?

Pull yourself together.

Are you letting Jaehyun go?
You said it was his doing!

She died protecting me.

She was trying to stop him.

Dojin, this is all that b*stard
Pyo Jaehyun's fault.

It's all because of Pyo Jaehyun!

[shouts]

Jaehyun abducted Haesoo.

What?

He wants Taera.

Haesoo is in danger.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have let him run away!

Let's find him.

We have to, whatever it takes.

Tell me how!

We can't even call the cops!
He's dead on paper!

Taera is our only way.

No, not her. Don't call her.

She's leaving the country soon.

You know very well what she went through
to escape Pyo Jaehyun.

I'm sorry, but I have to save Haesoo.

Dojin!

Taera!

Dojin.

Jaehyun-- Jaehyun…

abducted Haesoo.

Jiu, you're going to have to leave
with Emma first.

Why? Aren't you coming?

It looks like I need to get Aunt Haesoo
and meet you there.

Auntie Haesoo? She's coming today?
Does that mean Leo will come too?

I'll ask Haesoo.

Go with Emma. I will catch up with you
in no time, okay?

Promise me you won't take too long.

I promise.

Don't be sorry, Mom.

I'll stay strong and wait for you.

I'm a big girl now.

Thank you, Jiu.

I love you, my daughter.

Don't worry.

Where do we need to go to meet him?

Jaehyun has Haesoo's phone.

There's a g*n in my car,
in case we need it.

It's Haesoo…

Haesoo, where are--

Pyo Jaehyun.

If you want to see me,
don't lay a finger on Haesoo.

I'll go to you.

Where should I go?

You can't go alone.
It's too dangerous for you.

I have to go alone.

I'm the one Jaehyun wants.

I'll save Haesoo at all costs.

Where are you, Taera?

Don't go to Jaehyun. It's a trap.

Haesoo!

Taera.

I missed you, Taera.

Do you really want to k*ll Haesoo?

Where's Jiu?

Is she okay?

Does she miss her dad?

She doesn't know
what kind of man I am, does she?

She has no idea I'm dead, right?

Please let go of Haesoo first.

I'm here.

So you can talk to me, okay?

Jiu thinks I'm the kindest man
in the world.

She always said I was the best.

She can never know
what kind of man I really am.

Pyo Jaehyun! Get it together.

How heartbroken would she be if she knew?

It's me you want.

Hong Taera is the one you want!

You're right.

All I ever wanted was you.

I wanted to be happy with you.

When you look at me and smile…

I'm so happy, I forget to breathe.

That's why you called me here.

At this very beach,

you saved me from the brink of death

and turned me into Taera,
isn't that right?

Then don't forget me, Taera.

Please.

Please don't forget me, Taera.

Haesoo, come--

Where's Haesoo?

Where is she?

[Haesoo] Taera!

Taera, run!

No, no!

-[Dojin] Jaehyun!
-Stay right there!

Don't do this, Jaehyun. Let go of her!

Are you really going to k*ll her?

The woman you love so much?

Haesoo.

I'm so relieved that you're okay.

I couldn't bear it
if something happened to you.

No, Taera.

Please spare Taera.
I'm begging you, please!

Jaehyun, calm down and listen to me.

I'll give you anything you want.

How about you go abroad?

Right, you can't live here anymore,
so let's go abroad.

I'll set up everything for you,
so just don't hurt Taera.

You're all making me out to be
the bad guy here, aren't you?

Just k*ll me, Jaehyun.

That's what you want.

You can't live without me.

So…

let's die together here.

Taera! What are you saying?

Jaehyun.

Jiu will hate me if I k*ll you.

Taera, am I…

a bad guy to you too?

What?

I'm sorry it took me…

so long to realize…

what it means to live
a life you can't choose.

I just…

wanted to make you happy.

I just wanted to see you

up close for the last time.

Hong Taera,

the woman I love.

Jaehyun?

Taera!

A FEW YEARS LATER, SWITZERLAND

[Jiu, in English] Mom! Someone's here!

[in Korean] Welcome, Kyojin.

[in English] Welcome!

[in Korean] Hey, Jiu.

You love macarons, don't you?

They're from the best confectionary
in Switzerland.

Vanilla, chocolate, raspberry,
and cream cheese.

[in English] Wow! How did you know that?

Mom, can I eat them with chocolate milk?

Just for today, all right?

Thanks, Mom. Love you!

[in Korean] You're here early.
Haesoo and Dojin are coming later tonight.

My business trip to Paris
ended earlier than I thought.

I wanted to see you as soon as possible.

What happened?
You don't sound like yourself.

How was the chip removal?
Are you taking the pills?

I'm much better.

It's thanks to everyone.

You must be tired.
I'll show you to your room.

You and Dojin will have to share,
is that okay?

Yeah, we're on vacation after all.

Go ahead and unpack.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Oh, he'll need a towel.
