[tense music playing]
Did you watch the show yesterday?
It was great. Did you see it?
[Byeon] The menu seems all right overall,
but please add more desserts.
Yes, ma'am.
And let's change the wine selection set
for dinner on Wednesday and Thursday.
-Something that's not too strong.
-Yes, ma'am.
[Byeon] Everything looks good.
[Wansoo] Everything you told me that day.
I don't trust a word of it.
I'm going to keep suspecting you.
[suspenseful music playing]
Bring me evidence
if you want me to believe you.

Red Swan
Why were you in there?
I was going to ask the butler something
but she wasn't in.
The vice-chairman is looking for you.
You should go to the second-floor study.
I will.
[suspenseful music playing]
[knocks on door]
Come in.
Episode 4
Q1.
Seo Doyoon, was it?
Yes, that's right.
I'm asking because I really don't know,
but is a bodyguard supposed to do
something like that?
Meddle in their client's affairs
and hold them by force.
I'm sorry, sir.
Both of your safety is my priority.
Were you hurt by any chance?
[Yongkook scoffs]
Weren't you worried
that you might be fired?
I know that I went a bit overboard,
but I thought you'd understand
that it was for both of your safety.
I am rich,
but I don't boss people around.
Bossing others is embarrassing.
I got it. You may leave.
Go easy on me next time, all right?
[uneasy music playing]
[sighs]
[door slides close]
[breathes deeply]
[suspenseful music playing]
[zipper zips]
I'll be heading out, sir.
Do it quickly.
[Doyoon] Judging by the volume,
it looks to be
around $700,000 to $800,000.
That's a billion in Korean won.
What could it be for?
[Doyoon] It's too much money to be paying
to have someone killed.
[sighs]
Siblings
Oh Hyunsoo, Oh Wansoo
First son Kim Yongkook
Lover Jang Taera
Late Kim Duo, Hwain's former chairman
Park Miran, Hwain's current chairwoman
[suspenseful music continues playing]
[birds chirping]
[exhales deeply]
[knocks on door]
[Byeon] Did you want to see me, ma'am?
Why did you put
Chanhee's belongings here?
I couldn't throw them out,
and I couldn't return them to you either.
I'll store them elsewhere.
I should have put more thought into it.
Yes, you really should have.
Have Chanhee's stuff stored elsewhere
and throw out
all the furniture in this room.
And keep this door locked.
What?
[Chairwoman Park scoffs]
She must think I'm a joke.
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean] Do as she wants.
We've got plenty of rooms here.
Yes, ma'am. I will do that.
-Call Mr. Han over.
-Yes, ma'am.
[footsteps receding]
[door opens]
Did you want to see me?
Just as you've suggested,
I should have Yongmin become
the new director of the foundation.
Wise decision, ma'am.
Do a good job convincing him
so that he doesn't complain
that he's getting a useless title.
What about Director Oh then?
We'll have her resign.
Don't force it since public opinion
might sway against us.
-Yes, ma'am. You don't need to worry.
-[sighs]
[breathes deeply]
What do you mean, a resignation speech?
Mr. Han sent it over, saying that it was
Chairwoman Park's order.
NOW FOUNDATION
Resignation speech
[scoffs]
What's going on all of a sudden?
Yongkook has a son out of wedlock.
-[Hyunsoo sighs]
-Did you know about this?
I'm sure you did too.
[exhales deeply]
Leak it to the tabloids.
Tell them that Hwain Group's
Vice-Chairman Kim is having an affair
and has a 10-year-old son with the woman.
Tell all the tabloids immediately.
[dramatic music playing]
Are you going to divorce him then?
I won't divorce him.
I won't let them take away
NOW Foundation either.
Then why tell the tabloids?
We should be stopping any possible rumors.
Do you really want me to do it?
[dramatic music continues playing]
[Ms. Yoon] Ma'am.
You should see this.
What's this?
[Chairwoman Park] That darn
Rumors of Hwain Group's Vice-Chairman Kim
having affair and with love child
[reporter 1] There he comes.
-[reporter 2] Let's go.
-[camera shutters clicking]
[reporters clamoring]
What's this? What's going on?
-Take us to the underground parking lot.
-Yes, sir.
[reporter 3] Here they come.
[reporter 4] Excuse me.
[reporter 5] Please wait.
[dramatic music continues playing]
[reporter 6] Were you aware of this?
-[reporter 7] Care to comment?
-[reporter 8] A word, please.
[reporters clamoring]
Is it true
that he has an illegitimate son?
[reporter 9] Are you aware that the photo
of the mistress was in circulation?
[reporter 10] A word, please.
Wansoo.
[sighs]
Director Oh Wansoo
Wansoo. Did you hear about the tabloids?
I'm busy. Get to the point.
I mean,
don't you keep up with the news?
Stop them.
I thought you'd be happy.
[scoffs]
I have a face that people can remember
from seeing just once.
I can't even go shopping anymore.
You should keep your neck straight
and carry on with your life.
You think so?
[Taera] Then should we just let them
publish those tabloid articles?
We can't do that.
Do something.
-Me?
-Yes.
Right. An interview.
You should do an interview.
-An interview?
-Yes.
[knocks on door]
You called me over
because of those tabloid articles, right?
You get out of here.
I never asked to see you.
What do you mean? The article is about me.
My photo is plastered
all over messengers in Korea.
[shouts, clicks tongue]
Get out!
You, sit down.
Yes, ma'am.
Wansoo No.
Director Oh has to do an interview, ma'am.
She's not only the daughter-in-law
of the Hwain family,
but she's a celebrity.
You know what I mean, don't you?
Why you I said get out. Get out of here!
-[door opens, closes]
-[Chairwoman Park] Goodness.
We're looking for the source,
but it may be difficult to find.
At times like these
silence is the best solution.
You should stay out
of the public limelight for now.
That's the best for all of us.
The stock prices of our five subsidiaries
have plummeted.
-Darn it.
-Why would that affect our stock prices?
Those darn apes.
[Mr. Han] You know how it is.
They want the group to be transparent
in its management and succession.
Moreover,
the business world holds
Director Oh's business acumen
in high regard.
[Chairwoman Park] Unbelievable.
Everyone must be worried
that she might end up divorcing Yongkook.
[Chairwoman Park scoffs]
[groans]
That will be all.
[shouts]
All of you, get out!
You head straight home.
[Wansoo] Ma'am.
Please reconsider my resignation
as the director of the foundation.
[tense music playing]
Hey.
It's not even been a minute
since I told you
to stay out of the public limelight.
Do you think I'm a joke?
[Chairwoman Park clicks tongue]
Quit your yapping
and keep your hands off the foundation
until things quiet down.
Just stay at home.
[sighs]
[Wansoo] Schedule a press conference
for tomorrow afternoon.
[Ms. Yoon] I'm sorry?
I'll report this to Chairwoman Park first.
Do that after you schedule it.
Or I can ask someone else to do that.
Yes, ma'am.
[tense music continues playing]
[scoffs]
The next day
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo
Emergency press conference
[Yongmin's wife] What are you doing?
It's almost time.
Let's go after I watch this.
We won't make it before tee time.
Dad hates it when people are late to golf.
It won't be that long.
[Yongmin's wife] What is it?
A live broadcast
of Oh Wansoo's press conference.
-Because of those tabloid articles?
-Yeah.
[scoffs]
NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo
Emergency Press Conference
Are rumors true that Hwain Group's
Vice-Chairman has an illegitimate child?
[minister] Exactly.
Marriage of the century to end in divorce?
Is Kim and Oh's marriage rocky?
[minister] She's been making waves abroad.
I've been following
all the articles they write about her.
[Chairwoman Park chuckles]
Is that so?
Whenever she ever travels abroad,
the entire country is rife
with articles about her.
[laughs]
Director Oh is the pride
of all women in Korea.
Thank you.
[minister] The same goes for you too,
Chairwoman Park.
Nonsense.
[chuckles]
[Chairwoman Park] You flatter me.
[Chairwoman Park chuckles]
Do you need to be somewhere?
Not at all.
What could be more important
than to have a meal with you, Minister?
[Chairwoman Park and minister chuckle]
I'm a fan of yours.
[soft chuckle]
No, the honor is all mine.
Please excuse me for a moment.
[minister] Of course.
Right.
The bathroom is over that way.
Hurry back.
Yes, ma'am.
[doors slide open]
[minister] You're such a philanthropist.
Me?
[chuckles]
Not at all.
[Wansoo] The chairwoman
might be coming down with a fever.
You should get her a blanket from the car.
Yes, ma'am.
I need to get to a press conference.
[minister]
You two are truly an inspiration.
You should head out the back door.
I'll be right with you.
[Chairwoman Park] Is that so?
[laughter]
[Chairwoman Park laughs]
I'm sorry,
but could you drive a little faster?
[driver] Sure thing.
[suspenseful music playing]
What?
-She's not in the parking lot either.
-Why you
I guess she had somewhere to be after all.
Yes, it seems that way.
She's feeling a little under the weather.
I'm terribly sorry.
[whispers]
That ungrateful
-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporter] There she is!
[reporters murmuring]
[door closes]
NOW Foundation's Director Oh Wansoo
Emergency press conference
Hello, I'm Oh Wansoo.
This is my first time
having to address such an issue.
[keyboard keys clacking]
[Wansoo] It's already been over ten years
since I retired from being a pro golfer.
I wanted to thank you for taking
such an interest in me
after all those years.
[tense music playing]
Turn the TV on.
[TV chimes]
I've been living life
as a common housewife,
but since news spreads
so fast online these days
and reporters have been visiting me daily
at the foundation in which I work,
I had no choice
but to make a public appearance again.
A lot of people
seemed to be worried about my marriage.
There were talks of my husband
having an illegitimate child
with a woman he was having an affair with.
My answer to such allegations
[camera shutters clicking]
is a resounding no.
-[reporter 1] She says it's not true?
-[reporter 2] Really?
[reporter 3]
Are you denying the rumors then?
There were even photos of his mistress.
[reporter 4]
Are you here today to refute the rumors?
I will tell you the truth.
[Wansoo] The rumored illegitimate child
you've all been hearing about
is actually the son
of my late father-in-law.
-[dramatic music playing]
-[reporters murmuring]
-What?
-[Wansoo] You know him very well.
The late Honorary Chairman Kim Duo
is the son's father.
Why that little
[chuckles]
[exclaims in shock]
[scoffing]
[camera shutters clicking]
Has it been confirmed?
Did you do a paternity test?
[reporter] Then are the rumors false?
Is he really Honorary Chairman Kim's son?
I must beg you
that you refrain from taking
too much interest in our family affairs
as of today.
[Wansoo] That will be all.
[reporter 1]
Is everything you said here true?
[reporter 2]
Please give us a detailed explanation.
[reporter 3] Is what you said true?
[reporter 4] Please give us a word.
[music swells]
The late Honorary Chairman Kim Duo
is the son's father.
[gasps]
[shrieks]
She's totally nuts.
-Mr. Kim, turn around and drive home.
-[Mr. Kim] Yes, ma'am.
No, drop us off at the Grand Palace.
Quiet. Just drive us home.
What's with you, Mom?
We need to make a plan.
What will you do after you barge in there?
Why would we need a plan?
She's made me the concubine
of a man in his seventies.
The press conference live stream
will end shortly.
[laughing]
That was killer.
-Wansoo must have lost it.
-[laughing continues]
-[line rings]
-Dad?
We won't make it to golf today.
[Yongmin's father-in-law] I won't have it.
Come here at once.
-Wait.
-[line beeps]
My mom would be fuming right now.
Dad wants us there immediately.
Sure. We should be there.
You're just going to go?
[in English] Hello?
[in Korean] You've just got a new brother.
[exclaims]
I can't wait to see
the looks on Yongkook and Mom's faces.
[laughing]
-[door opens]
-Is this situation funny to you?
[laughing]
[laughing hysterically]
[reporter 1] Here she comes.
[reporter 2] A comment, please.
[reporter 3] Please give us a word.
A word, please.
[reporter 4] Wait.
-Could you confirm your statement again?
-[reporter 5] A word, please.
[reporter 6] Did you run a paternity test?
[reporter 7] Please comment
on today's press conference.
-[phone buzzing]
-[reporters clamoring]
Incoming call
My husband
The chairwoman has asked me
to escort you home.
Let's go home then.
[Lee Jin] Yes, ma'am.
[reporter 1] A moment, please.
[reporter 2] Please wait.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Chairwoman Park sighs]
[Chairwoman Park chuckles]
[Chairwoman Park] I remember,
this is the kind of person you were.
That's right.
[chuckles]
Do you want me to compliment you?
[shouts]
Answer me!
[sighs]
So this is how I get screwed over.
That was the best option I had.
Just what is your goal in life?
To create a better world.
[tense music playing]
[laughing]
You've got to be kidding me.
I've lived a life
where I was shunned by everyone.
It was cold and hungry.
Now, it's time for me
to help them in return.
That's why you people
never climb out of the rut you're in.
You bottom-feeders and your mentality.
Help with what? Why? Help who?
What's yours is yours
and what's mine is mine.
You must consider yourself a saint.
But you know what?
All the money you're spending is mine,
not yours.
I do more work for Hwain than your son.
I am the face of Hwain Group.
Hwain is mine!
You must feel like you've won today,
don't you?
You really are a piece of work.
Resign from the position
of NOW Foundation's director immediately
and never take any part
in any of Hwain's business from now on.
If that's what you want
I'll hold another press conference.
I'll tell the world
about the foundation and my role in it.
Your role?
What even is your role? Tell me.
I'd love to know what your role is.
The foundation is my everything.
I will make it a transparently run
international organization.
Stop sullying my life's work
with money problems, ma'am.
You
[Chairwoman Park] Hold on a second.
Are you telling me
that you'll blackmail me
using our slush fund?
You can ask the prosecution
and the police for help,
but it won't be easy for you
to stop the press.
You can't take away
the foundation from me.
I won't sit around and let you.
You really must have lost it.
[scoffs]
[Chairwoman Park] Listen carefully.
You have no one else to blame
but yourself for everything
that is about to happen to you.
I understand.
As long as I can protect the foundation
I'm willing to risk that.
Are you the same Seo Doyoon I know?
You need at least 10 security personnel
before you hold a press conference.
On top of that,
she left abruptly while she was meeting
with Chairwoman Park and the minister.
You should have told me at the least
and asked me to send more men
to guard her at the press conference.
[Mr. Park sighs]
I'm sorry, sir.
Sir.
I'll be at the headquarters
tomorrow morning
to monitor all of our CCTVs.
I'm the head of the RF team after all.
-Every one of them?
-Yes, sir.
I want to stop the reporters
from bothering the vice-chairman at work.
You don't need to worry
about the vice-chairman.
He has me.
-Yes, sir.
-What are you doing?
Are you trying to get ahead of me?
[soft chuckle]
I wouldn't dream of it.
I'm just trying to give it my best.
[sighs]
Goodbye, sir.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[both] Hello.
You're the new head of the RF team, right?
I am.
[Mr. Han] Jieun.
[Jieun] Yes, sir?
Please bring my dinner to the annex.
[Jieun] Yes, sir. I see that your dinner
was delayed quite a bit today.
[Mr. Han] My meeting
with the chairwoman dragged out.
[Jieun] I'll have it served right away.
Right.
You're the new head of the RF team
who guards Director Oh, right?
Yes. I'm sorry for the late introduction.
I'm Seo Doyoon.
[Mr. Han] You must have your hands full.
[uneasy music playing]
Keep up the good work.
[footsteps receding]
A few days later
It's huge, right?
Look at me.
[Taera] There you go.
[sighs]
Let's head inside.
Say hello to Chairwoman Park.
Hello, ma'am. I'm Jang Junhee.
Sit.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Sit down.
[Chairwoman Park] I asked her to join us.
You created this family tree,
so you should treat her with respect
as your other mother-in-law.
Yes, ma'am.
[sighs]
She has every right to live here
since she's my late husband's lover.
Show them to their rooms.
Yes, ma'am.
[Taera] Excuse me, ma'am.
-I mean, Miran?
-[gasps]
[comical music playing]
I mean, Chairwoman Park.
Gosh, my head
I'll leave you to it.
[footsteps receding]
Junhee. Does Grandma scare you?
[door closes]
Just stick right next to Mommy, okay?
[Taera clears throat]
Where is my room?
I hope it isn't right next to yours.
I've prepared a much bigger room for you.
Please follow me, mistress.
[Taera] Wait.
"Mistress"?
Why do you address me as mistress
instead of madam?
I'll show you the way.
-[Taera] You go ahead, Junhee.
-[door opens]
[door closes]
[line rings]
Mom, it's me.
Wansoo just addressed me as mistress
instead of madam.
Why would she call me that?
What do you think she means by that?
[Taera's mom] She's calling you
a concubine to your face!
-What? She is?
-[comical music playing]
[Taera's mom groans]
Mistress is another word for concubine.
The woman a man has an affair
and a love child with!
How could you not know that?
So she was mocking me?
I can't believe her!
Your clothes will be hung here, Junhee.
You should get changed
into something more comfortable.
[Taera] A concubine?
-How could you call me that?
-Be quiet.
[scoffs]
Mistress?
[Taera] Do you think I'm some tramp?
How dare you call me a mistress?
There are so many other things
you could have called me.
How could you call me a concubine
right to my face?
Do you think I'm below you?
Junhee.
[Wansoo]
Why don't you wait out on the sofa?
[Taera breathes heavily]
[door closes]
Listen closely.
This is the only part of the house
that you can call yours.
Don't even think of joining us
at the dinner table.
Make yourself invisible.
Don't let me spot you
anywhere inside this house.
Am I clear?
[tense music playing]
But I'm supposed to be
your father-in-law's mistress.
Then I'm practically your mother-in-law
Your second mother-in-law.
I don't think you get it.
Answer me.
Yes, ma'am.
[Taera] Darn it! This is unbelievable!
[breathes angrily]
I'm going out for a run.
Yes, ma'am.
[pants]
What is it? Do you find me pathetic?
My husband's mistress
moved into the house with their child.
You must be wondering what I'm thinking.
[soft scoff]
What is it that you want to protect?
Is it money?
[scoffs]
I doubt there's any money
in that house for me.
What is it then?
I took you to that press conference
because I thought it could help you.
I thought it was a way for you
to escape this family.
Did you think I'd announce my divorce
like the reporters expected?
You can only divorce someone
when you've married someone out of love.
My marriage was already ruined long ago.
[sighs]
Why are you protecting it
if it means nothing to you?
Just what is it that you want to protect?
[Chairman Kim]
Place your hand here to have it scanned.
[trilling]
[Chairman Kim] It will be used by the bank
to confirm your identity.
What do you mean, Father?
The details will be revealed to you
when the time comes.
I am heartbroken
about what happened to Chanhee.
Divorce must have
crossed your thoughts,
but save it for later.
Much, much later.
Now is not the time.
There is something I must ask you
to do for me.
You know how much I trust you, right?
Please remain a member
of the Hwain family until then.
I have to protect NOW Foundation.
Even to the point of risking your life?
If someone threatens my life
because of the life I lead
I'd much rather have that
than live wealthily while hiding
and begging for my life.
[sighs]
Do you want to die that badly?
I'm asking you if you want to die.
Chairman Kim Duo did not die here
at the Grand Palace.
[suspenseful music playing]
Didn't I tell you
that the same person who killed my friend
is now after your life?
It's not ISIS!
Someone in that house wants you dead.
What did you say?
[thug 1 in Mandarin] Mr. L is coming?
A Korean policeman died
a few months ago in our area.
Mr. L did that.
He has another gig in Manila today.
-Where in Manila?
-Makati shopping district.
[cocks gun]
-[thug 1] He'll be working alone.
-[gunshot]
[Doyoon in Korean] A friend of mine
who I considered a brother died.
I was there at the scene as he died.
But
the police
stopped investigating his death.
Although I volunteered
to investigate it myself,
they didn't let me.
He left me some videos.
What videos?
The proof that Chairman Kim Duo
did not die at the Grand Palace.
-[suspenseful music playing]
-What?
My friend was investigating
Chairman Kim's death,
so that would mean
the person who killed him
is the same person
who attacked you in Manila.
And you're saying
that it's someone at Hwain?
Yes. Murder for hire.
[suspenseful music continues playing]
[birds chirping]
[exhales deeply]
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
The car is ready.
This is the Nomanee Sophi
that the Chairwoman had us prepare.
It was bought at an auction yesterday
for 150 million won.
You can deliver the wine, Ms. Yoon.
The chairwoman wanted you
to deliver it personally.
[sighs]
We should go.
[doorbell dings]
[puffs]
[Lee Jin]
Director Oh Wansoo is here to see you.
[door lock clicks]
[car door closes]
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
[door opens]
You're here.
The chairwoman will be here any minute.
I was getting a massage.
I just need to get changed.
Daniel.
[in English] Oh, leave that.
Can you go fill up the bathtub for me?
[Daniel] Yes, ma'am.
[in Korean] You have a new butler.
He studied at the butler academy
in Switzerland.
Did Mother send us the wine?
She apparently bought it
for 150 million won at an auction.
[dramatic sting]
[both gasp]
That's 150 million
[sighs]
My hand was slippery
from the aromatherapy.
You should have been more careful.
[exhales sharply]
It's shattered.
You're right.
It broke.
I can see that.
[scoffs]
Have a seat over there.
What tea would you like?
Earl Grey.
Daniel.
[Yongmin's wife in English]
Can you get a cup of Earl Grey, please?
[Daniel] Yes, ma'am.
Are you okay?
I will clean it up right away.
-[glass pieces clinking]
-Do we have the same wine in our cellar?
[glass pieces clinking]
"Nomanee Sophi. Year 1986."
Yes, ma'am. We have it.
Oh, thank goodness.
[in Korean]
Wansoo, I'll go and get changed.
[glass pieces clinking]
[scoffs]
[Yongmin's wife] Wansoo's here already.
You need to get over here.
How should I know?
I'm so annoyed I don't even want
to ask her about the press conference.
My phone wouldn't stop ringing
because of that.
Okay. Hurry.
[laughter]
-[host] You've come a long way.
-[Chairwoman Park] Don't mention it.
-[host chuckles]
-I should visit more often.
[gentle classical music playing]
[speaking French]
[in Korean]
The wine is a gift from my mother-in-law.
[Chairwoman Park chuckles]
Please enjoy yourselves.
[soft laughter]
No, thank you. Pour them a glass first.
Does that make this wine
worth 200 billion won?
-[laughter]
-How witty of you.
You investing in our duty-free shops
is a win-win situation
for both our families.
Yes, and I'm grateful that you let us.
I've sent the papers
over to you for approval.
We're in the cosmetics industry,
so why should we have to invest
in their duty-shop business?
You don't have to
if you don't see the need for it.
That's right.
At the party you held in Manila,
how did your talk
with the Chinese Ambassador go?
[Chairwoman Park]
There was progress, right?
[tense music playing]
Didn't he promise
to throw you a banquet in Seoul
with Chairman Seo and his wife as guests?
Oh! That's great news.
[chuckles]
Director Oh is capable of doing
such great things.
For now
it hasn't been confirmed yet.
Then you can get it confirmed.
[Yongmin] As she should.
That's the only reason
Mr. Seo agreed to the investment.
That's right. Our cosmetics brand
has been having difficulties in China.
[Chairwoman Park]
You have nothing to worry about.
She's a global celebrity.
She's great at making
the right connections.
You can trust her to get it done.
You're right. My friends always ask me
questions about Ms. Oh.
[in English]
Daniel, I think it's time for main course.
Yes, ma'am.
[in Korean] Is that so?
[chuckles]
Before we forget,
how about we make a toast?
Of course.
[Chairwoman Park] Would you do the honors?
[Mr. Seo] I will, thank you.
Here's to Hwain
and Cosmo's eternal prosperity.
[Yongkook and Yongmin] Cheers.
[glasses clinking]
[Chairwoman Park] Hey!
Are you telling me not to meddle
in the foundation's affairs
by delaying that deal with China?
As long as you promise
NOW Foundation's independence,
I'll make sure that their brand
gets approved by China's FDA.
I'll have them allow us to open
our duty-free shop there as well.
Hmm
How could you try to embarrass me
in front of my in-laws?
[clicks tongue]
Do your job right!
[birds chirping]
I was wondering
Is it true that Butler Byeon graduated
from Seoul National University?
-Apparently, she went to law school.
-[servant exclaims]
No, she majored in English Literature.
But why did she become a butler
after graduating
from such a prestigious school?
Tell me about it.
The chairwoman's father
paid for her tuition
and her family's living expenses
since middle school so that she'd aid
the chairwoman for the rest of her life.
Then she'll be a servant all her life.
-Were you talking about me?
-[coughing]
[coughing continues]
I'm sorry, Ms. Byeon. I was out of line.
[coughs]
[servant] But Ms. Byeon.
Why are you spending
your entire life here?
Because I have enough time to read
and also because the people here
are in need of my service.
One more thing, Ms. Byeon.
How should we address that woman?
The woman with the child?
[both] Yes.
How does Director Oh address her?
"Mistress."
Then you can address her as that.
[stifled laugh]
So she's calling her a concubine?
You could say that.
[Taera] Hey, you. Butler.
[quirky music playing]
What are you staring at, butler?
-What is it, ma'am?
-Ah!
It must be because I'm not addressing you
as "Ms. Byeon," right?
Do you need something?
I'll be stepping outside to interview
my son's new private tutor.
I'll be the one to take care of that.
[Taera] Ah Wait.
A butler shouldn't pick out
his private tutor.
[Byeon] That's my job.
I can't just let anyone into this house.
Find something else to do for yourself.
[scoffs]
Unbelievable.
[sighs]
-[stifled laugh]
-[clears throat]
Hey, you over there.
Me, mistress?
What?
[Taera] What did she just call me?
[gasps]
Unbelievable.
[Taera gasping]
How insulting.
Director Oh.
This is a gift
that Ms. Stephanie sent from New York
for you to wear at the opening ceremony.
It's from her newest limited collection
this season.
-Send her a photo of me wearing it later.
-Yes, ma'am.
She donated so much money
to the foundation every year.
I'll have to repay the favor.
[kids chattering]
NOW Welfare Center
Opening ceremony
Understood.
[sighs]
[Chairwoman Park] Where's Director Oh?
She's already arrived
-and is looking at the dormitories.
-Damn it!
Tell her to come here right away.
Let's get it over with.
[reporter 1] Hello.
-Hello.
-[reporter 2] Hello.
[chuckles]
How does it feel
to be at the opening ceremony?
[Chairwoman Park] Well, I don't know.
-Ma'am.
-[Chairwoman Park] It feels very good
that our foundation is once again
making the world a better place.
[camera shutters clicking]
[sighs]
[reporters exclaim]
[tense music playing]
Why you
[awkward laughter]
The weather is great, isn't it?
[Wansoo]
Beyond the running of this welfare center,
NOW Foundation promises
to carry on helping children in need
both within the country and abroad
through various business endeavors.
I would like to introduce to you
Hwain's Chairwoman Park Miran
who continually graced us
with her benevolent donations.
[applause]
[camera shutters clicking]
Please step forward.
We'd like a picture of you together.
[reporter 1]
Please come to the center of the stage.
[reporter 2] Step forward, please.
-[reporter 3] Please move forward.
-[reporter 4] Step forward, please.
-[reporter 5] Please.
-[reporter 6] Please do that.
-[reporter 7] Please move forward.
-[reporter 8] Step forward, please.
-Please stand at the center together.
-[reporter 9] At the center.
-[reporter 10] Please stand together.
-[reporter 11] Please.
-[reporter 12] Closer.
-Please stand close together.
-[reporter 11] Please link arms.
-[reporter 12] Please link your arms.
[reporter 13] Please link your arms.
-[reporter 14] Please look this way.
-[reporter 15] Smile, please.
-Could you put your cheeks together?
-[comical music playing]
-[reporter 1] Now with a smile.
-[reporter 2] Please.
-[reporter 3] That's perfect.
-[reporter 4] We'll take the photo now.
-[reporter 5] Please look over this way.
-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporter 6] Please smile.
-[reporter 7] Now smile.
[opponent 1 shouts]
[opponent 1 groans]
[intriguing music playing]
Darn it.
-You. Step forward.
-[opponent 2 shouts]
-[grunts]
-[opponent 2 groans]
[Chairwoman Park] Come on.
-[grunts]
-[opponent 3 groans]
[Chairwoman Park] You're all useless.
You.
Come here.
[pants]
[tense music playing]
You smell nice.
That's right.
I like men who smell nice.
[Chairwoman Park groans]
[groans]
Darn it.
[grunts]
[Chairwoman Park] Hold still.
Let me catch my breath.
[pants]
[light suspenseful music playing]
The thing about people
is that you can tell a lot
about them by the way they smell.
You can tell what someone ate that day
by the odor of their breath,
but you can tell
what they've eaten all their life
by their body odor.
That means
that I can figure you out from head to toe
by taking a whiff of your smell.
I'm just a former cop
who grew up in an ordinary household.
Are you saying you grew up poor?
We were ordinary.
But for some reason
you smell sweet.
We should do this again.
I liked how you didn't let me win
like the rest of them.
[cackles]
I was feeling miserable
since I was wearing
the same clothes as her today.
There's nothing like judo
to blow off some steam, right?
K1. Treat everyone
to a nice dinner tonight.
Yes, ma'am.
[exhales deeply]
[Chairwoman Park]
There's nothing like judo.
I feel much better today.
-Any irregularities?
-Nothing of note, ma'am.
Keep a close watch without them noticing.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Right.
Have Director Oh come and see me
in an hour's time.
[Lee Jin] Yes, ma'am.
[exclaims, scoffs]
[exclaims excitedly]
Same clothes, different vibes? Oh turns
heads at welfare center's opening ceremony
Same clothes, different vibes? Oh turns
heads at welfare center's opening ceremony
[sighs]
[Chairwoman Park] Damn it.
[knocks on door]
[sighs]
Come in.
Ms. Stephanie sent it to me as a gift.
I didn't know you purchased one yourself.
Your mother
You don't visit her, do you?
My brother is taking good care of her.
It must have been over 10 years
since you last saw her.
I see that Mr. Oh can hold a secret.
What do you mean?
Do you know that she's locked up
in a psychiatric hospital?
[tense sting]
-A locked ward at that.
-[gasps]
[breathing shakily]
[Chairwoman Park] Sit back down.
I'm not done talking.
Did you put her in there?
Me?
What right would I have to do that?
You're her daughter.
If people find out about this,
you'll be put in a difficult situation.
What are you trying to tell me?
[gasps]
You should be at her side for her death.
They say she could die any minute.
[suspenseful music playing]
[birds chirping]
[dramatic music playing]
Wonbit Psychiatric Hospital
This place is just
[somber music playing]
Wonbit Psychiatric Hospital
She may not recognize you.
She doesn't recognize me either.
[dramatic music playing]
[nurse] Welcome, Mr. Oh.
Gosh.
This is a prison, not a hospital.
This was the best I could do.
It was Chairwoman Park's order.
-[lock clicking]
-[chains rattling]
Welcome. Please come in.
[Wansoo] I want to see her alone.
I'll be in the car. Head inside.
She's in ward 3.
Ward 3
[ominous music playing]
[monitor beeping]
[Wansoo yells]
Mom!
