Everything you've done so far had to be hard on you, 406.

You...

You've known all along?

Since when? No, wait.

So you knew. Why don't you... Why don't I what?

Why don't you hate me?

How could I?

Hong Yiju.

Tell me, how am I supposed to hate you?

How could I hate you when I'm in love with you?

No need to rush.

It's good.

Actually, I've been wondering, why are you such a good cook?

As they say, love is the secret ingredient.

But the truth is, good kimchi is all you really need to make a tasty kimchi fried

rice.

This is amazing.

From now on, let's eat together more often.

At home, here.

That way this place will start to feel a little more... like a home and not a

jail cell.

When did I say it felt like a jail cell? That was you.

Was it? You just feel guilty, don't you?

Guilty? What are you saying?

Were the past three years of our marriage normal? Living together but not

talking to each other?

Not a word, not even eye contact. And we never ate together, let alone sleeping

in bed together.

You want that?

If you weren't a fan of us sleeping in separate rooms, you should have said so

sooner. Oh, that's not what I was really saying.

This house to me it felt so warm

When

I'd pull up to our building I'd see the lights on and was glad to come home to

you We shared a home and I was happy about that

I'd just quietly sit and stare at you.

It was a perfect escape from the loud world that weighed on me by day.

Made it all okay.

I wish you'd told me this sooner.

Do you remember what I said to you a while back?

I warned you when I said to not let your emotions come between us.

Put your emotions aside, whatever you're feeling.

Ignore it.

You don't have to perform for me like a trained monkey.

It was harsh, so yeah.

You really didn't have to remind me, you know?

I was worried.

I felt I had to draw the line somewhere.

Otherwise, I might fall for you.

Then I'd convince myself it's not a bad idea to just live like this.

With her.

I was worried I'd settle and give up everything.

Let me be perfectly straight with you. You were never part of my plan.

Stay out of my way and don't get on my nerves.

Or you'll get hurt.

And that plan of yours... What exactly did you mean by that?

When the time is right, I'll tell you everything.

The thing is... I want to tell you something too.

Don't worry.

There's nothing to worry about.

He'll be tracked down.

The only question is when.

What about this phone?

No one else needs to know.

And you have my word that I won't hand this over to the police.

Why? Because they'll find out I was involved?

I'm prepared since all of this already happened.

I should just tell them about all... It's fine. I'll get everything sorted

out. One step at a time.

So just be patient and don't do anything.

And for the time being, I'm allowing you to speak in front of me and no one else.

Why? I'm certain the accomplice must be close to us, so we're going to have to

be extra careful until we know who it is.

Got it.

I have to say I'm a little sad to end this thing.

It's been entertaining, getting to see the bold side of Hong Heizhu that I only

see when she's 406.

Oh yeah, the lingerie. Where is it?

Wait, why?

Why?

It's just... hard to believe that...

That you truly accept me for who I am.

And that you've forgiven me.

Can you do the same for me?

Even after you know the whole truth about me.

Nope.

Damn it.

Shit.

Hold the elevator.

Oh, God.

Oh,

thank heaven.

Oh, boy.

My goodness.

Which floor would you like?

Oh, thanks. It's B4, please.

12th floor canceled.

B4 selected. Thank you.

Oh, my gosh.

Aren't you Mr. Pek Saiyan, the presidential spokesperson?

Yes, sir. I knew it. Oh, that's amazing.

What an honor to meet you. I just saw you in the news. Is everything okay?

Sure feels like the world is turning into a crazy place full of crazy people

who in their right mind would do such a thing.

Well, I certainly appreciate your concern. You just be careful out there.

A scumbag like him ought to be locked up.

You want to know something?

Pixelon?

That guy smells surprisingly good.

That damn phone isn't the only thing I'm gonna take from him

I'm

going to take everything from him and I'm not gonna stop until I have it all

even his cologne

The image you're seeing right now on your screen is the composite sketch of

the suspect.

According to the police, this is a man in his early to mid-thirties with a

solid build and is about six feet tall.

His most distinctive feature is that he has two different colored eyes, one

appearing much lighter than the other. He has also exhibited symptoms of

intermittent explosive disorders such as sudden bouts of impulsiveness,

aggressive behavior, and angry outbursts that might have contributed to his

mental health. Sir, ma'am, HBC called to ask if the interview is still on as

planned.

Cancel it for now. Tell them we'll do it.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr.

Min. Yes, sir.

Listen.

the number you have dialed is not in service please check the number and try

again the number you have dialed is not in service please check the

number and try the number you have dialed is not in service please check

Did you sleep well?

Don't you... work today?

No, not today.

I won't even step out of the house today.

I said I needed a day to rest.

A whole day to rest?

As you're well aware...

I've worked every single day for the past three years.

Even working weekends and holidays.

I can't say I haven't earned it.

So how... how do you want to spend the day?

Is there something you want to do?

Actually, there is.

How about some of those things we never would have done together?

Despite how far-fetched it seemed, I'd sometimes imagine what we would have

been like together.

What's this?

It's a dolphin.

How we would have spent our time together.

Would we have been just a normal couple like any other?

It's funny, isn't it?

When all the while I was thinking, I want a divorce, I want to escape this

house.

When did that start?

What? Thinking of us together.

Imagining us as a real couple. Not sure, really.

I guess when...

We're married.

She's my wife.

I guess you fell for me in that moment.

Fell for you? Who said that?

No, hearing you say that was just so unexpected.

And for me, it started much sooner than that.

That was light years ahead.

So when?

Yes? Good morning, sir.

I'm sorry to bother you on your day off. Just get to the point.

You're right. Sorry, I'm calling because I'm afraid we need you in the office

right away, sir.

Do you have any idea who might be behind the threats and the bombing, sir?

What Mr. Peck revealed yesterday directly conflicts with the claims

you've already made.

Care to give us your thoughts?

Why do you think he would say that?

Mr. Peck wants to pretend there isn't a situation, because if there is, the

effect on his father's campaign would be negative, I assure you.

So he's here to squash these claims to prevent this from becoming news.

Are you still of the opinion of the people who wish to terrorize you might

be the very same people that attacked Mr. Peck?

I'm sorry, what's that?

Make way, people! Move back!

Why are you blocking me? Keep out! Please keep out! What's going on? You

can't go inside!

You deny Mr. Peck's claims?

Do you care to comment on the discrepancies in the testimony?

Surprise! We all just wanted to do a little something for you

to show our support and thought a surprise would be nice.

Did you like it?

Mr. Kang.

Yes.

Tell me you didn't rush me in here for no other reason than this When you knew

perfectly well that it was my first day off in three years, yeah He hadn't taken

a day off in three whole years. We were worried something must be wrong He must

be dealing with a lot.

So after much deliberating we thought

Since we prepared all this anyway, how

about we at least get a picture together?

Wait. Do we know where Mr. Park is? Why isn't he here?

I'm here, Mr. Park.

Did you figure out his location?

Yes, we were able to figure out where he is.

Hachung, Gyeonggi Province.

Does that address ring a bell?

Are you going there now?

Want me to ride along? No.

I'll go alone.

Don't tell the police.

Sure, but, um... Please be careful, sir.

Thanks for helping.

Enjoy, kids.

Thank you!

We're still sorting everything you brought the last time you were here.

Always so generous.

And about that other thing, did you find anything out?

Oh, that, no.

I'm asking around to see if I can find the younger of the twins.

Nothing so far, though.

Anyway, that announcer you brought with you that day, she couldn't make it

today?

Oh, yeah, she had to work today. And is she your girlfriend?

No, not at all. We just work together, that's about it.

Okay.

Even what I remember of your first girlfriend.

I imagine that announcer wasn't really your type, was she?

My first girlfriend?

Oh, what was her name?

I think it was Hong Hee Joo?

Oh, her?

That was... I'm surprised you remember. You have a great memory. I

couldn't forget her.

That sweet girl, you know, she volunteered here for years.

She even taught the kids sign language.

I haven't seen her in quite a while.

Oh, I wonder how she is.

The chairman says you should come stay with us for now, but no, just stay here

and hold out. The moment you walk out of this house, that's it. You can never

come back.

Also, I know who's behind all of this.

Who'd threaten Sion like that and run their mouth about your wedding? It was

Hongina.

Who else is capable of such a thing?

It was her, clearly.

She's determined to drive a wedge between you and Sion. She obviously

regrets her decision.

Her timing couldn't be worse, though.

Way to ruin it all when the election's just around the corner and everything

was going so great.

Wait.

Did you know Ina had returned?

Did she tell you to hand over what's hers? I told you not to put up with her

nonsense.

Don't meet with her.

And no matter what she tells you, don't trust her.

Hey sis, didn't I tell you already?

I said you may think you know Pek Sion, but you really don't know him at all.

I come all this way to spoon feed you and you won't eat. What are you, an

idiot? Don't you want to know?

Aren't you curious?

You'd better get it together unless you want to end up like him as well.

Alright, I'm out of here.

Yes, hello? Hey, I saw something online.

I just sent a photo. Can you check it out?

I'm guessing that bastard's the one who sent those, right?

What's his problem, huh?

What could have motivated him to do that? I'm on my way to find out. You

are?

Where are you going?

Hey, Heiju. Taking care of yourself, I hope?

Hey,

Sangmu.

It's been a while.

Heiju, how have you been?

Can we meet now?

Now?

How are you going to get this sorted out? You realize there's a limit to how

much I can cover this up. Just don't try pushing it onto me or Saon.

It's on you to get it sorted out.

Take responsibility and fix it. Excuse me?

What in the world are you babbling about?

Do you really think we'd be in this mess if it weren't for your daughters?

None of this would have happened if we'd stuck to the plan that we had.

Why give people any more ammo to bash us, huh?

Since we're bringing up things that I thought would stay in the past, let me

ask you a question.

Your family's Achilles' heel.

How sure are you that Mr. Paek Jong-ho took care of it?

aren't you?

Is there something that I should be worried about?

What do you mean?

You better think twice.

If you believe, I'll allow some bottom feeder to bog us down.

I'd sooner rip it to shreds with my own hands.

First, I'd eat its head and work my way down.

And that is when I'll bring them to you.

and I'll leave them in your front yard.

So you should try to be prepared for that.

That's why I suggest you do something, Mr. Peck.

And I suggest you repay me first, Chairman.

You still owe me from three years ago.

Can't you at least act like you're going to repay me, huh?

I'm talking about your elder daughter.

You know, I gotta say, I'm really glad you're alright.

So many things happened since you started working for the office of the

president, so... I was kinda worried.

Thanks for your concern.

But anyway... What are we doing here?

Didn't- Didn't you say the TV show you're doing was investigating a missing

children's case connected to an orphanage?

Yeah.

Can you tell me more about that case?

Oh, those dumplings were so good. Yeah, they were pretty good.

The ground meat was bursting with flavor, so it was like beef or sausage,

not ham. Yeah, you're totally right. What's it like? I mean, name a Korean

dish close to that.

Jeez, you're terrible at explaining.

Yeah, I definitely think you're not good at this.

The ground meat was bursting with flavor, so it was like beef or sausage,

not ham. Yeah, you're totally right. What's it like? I mean, name a Korean

dish closest to it.

He's terrible at explaining.

Yeah, I know.

This

is

the place. This is where the kids disappeared from.

That mansion there.

Wonder why the door is open.

Does someone still live here?

Um, I don't think so.

Have you been inside?

Mm-hmm.

Last time I was here.

Hiju, why are you asking about that case?

Do you know something I don't know?

That goes for Mr. Peck as well.

I've noticed that the two of you...

You seem interested in the case.

We were working on the story we're covering on the show.

Oh, so you're already aware.

About the show we're doing together.

I heard you asked Yuri some things about me.

What are you talking about?

It's getting really late. Why don't we come back when there's still sunlight?

I think someone's trying to call you.

Answer it.

You can answer it.

But how?

Someone else must know besides me.

Know what?

That you can speak if you want.

what is that

what's

he doing

Is he crazy?

Stay in the car.

Open the door. Don't do it.

It doesn't bother you that he shows up out of nowhere and you don't know why?

Hiju!

Hiju!

What are you doing?

Let go.

This is the only warning you'll get.

I don't want you ever coming around Hong Yi Zhu again. Why? Who is she to you?

I've been trying to figure it out. What is your relationship with her? First you

can answer me.

What do you know about the case involving the Signal Child Care Center?

Is the culprit still at large?

What? Why are you asking me? Don't you think the police would have investigated

if they found the culprit?

You probably already know who it is.

Are you trying to exact your own revenge?

Revenge?

Listen Ji Sang-woo, I don't know whether my suspicions about your rational

speculations or lack of facts, but it ends here.

So stop digging into things. Answer just one question. What is your interest in

the case?

Why do you even care?

I'm not bothered about the case. You're the only thing bothering anyone.

None of this started until you showed up the threats the kidnapping the

explosions all of it It's all what?

coincidence what

Why did you come here?

I received this.

So, did you ask Ji Sang-woo?

I asked him about the case. Why didn't you ask me first?

I don't understand.

Were you scared?

Answer me, Hong Hee-joo.

I was.

I was scared.

Because of the things that you don't know about Pexalan?

Or are you afraid of what you might find out?

There were many moments when I felt like running away

from it all.

was worried that you would find out i was 406 that you'd never forgive me

and that i would never see you again

so i just wanted

to i don't know run away before you found out that's what i

was scared about because if i find out the things That you don't want me to

know you might... Run away like I wanted to.

That's why I couldn't ask you.

More than anyone.

I know what that's like.

That's not the only thing I'm afraid of. You know, today...

I've been anxious since waking up this morning.

Thinking over everything I remember about last night.

Wondering if it was a dream.

The kind of dream that makes you cry your heart out when you wake up.

Because you're so sad that it's not real.

How can I be this?

Happy so easily.

How can I feel so loved? There's no way. This has never happened to me before.

How can I feel this way?

How

do

I convince you it's real?

What can I do to stop your anxiety?

Show me everything, because whatever it is, I can handle it.

Don't be so sure of that, Hong Yi Zhu. Why would you say that?

You stuck around after finding out I was 406.

We should tell each other our darkest secrets and move past it all.

Hong Yi Zhu.

If something should happen to me soon,

and if the Paek San you've known so far completely vanishes from this

world, and even if I give up being the grandson of Paek Jang Ho, the son of

Paek Woo Hyung, and the role of spokesperson of my own accord, just

remember this.

There's only one pixel and I want the world to remember

But the

one who belongs to you

Ina, why didn't you tell me you were coming today?

You know, when I said I couldn't marry him, I thought you'd tell me to just

grin and bear it.

So when you let me out of it, I thought it was odd, but I was grateful.

It was all part of your plan, though.

I mean, it was, wasn't it?

Wasn't it you who sent me that DNA report?

Looking back now, you didn't seem that surprised.

As if you already knew.

Wait, no.

Ah, but you didn't need to produce the report anonymously.

You would have given it to me directly.

Stop talking nonsense, will you? What was it again?

What was your reason for letting me off the hook?

And what's the deal you signed with Mr. Peck Jang-ho?

What did you just say?

Your younger daughter?

Chairman.

We've already sent out hundreds of wedding invitations with Yena's name.

Everyone knows that my husband's son is engaged to the Chengwum Daily News

family's eldest daughter. How can you suggest your younger daughter marry him?

That is messed up.

Good God, man, are you losing it because your daughter ran away in the night? And

for what reason would we want your younger daughter in our family, our son

with her?

Do you really think they're on the same level? All right, you don't have to go

for the jugular. Let's go prepare the statement. All I'm suggesting is no one

has to know if we fill the empty spot.

You've done it before, so you must know that it's actually not that difficult.

Here's what I suggest.

Because of this agreement between the families.

mr peck jung ho promised me this long ago while down on his knees he said

he'd grant my request no matter what or when the request is made

That woman told me.

The big mouth who's always eavesdropping.

What do you expect? I never got the truth from you easily.

So I did a lot of thinking.

That car accident when I was little, remember that?

After that day, you were like a crazy person for a while.

Pulling every string you could to investigate what happened. I think you

were about ready to throw anyone in jail whether they were guilty or not.

But...

Why'd you give up when you did?

Or rather, who was it that forced you to stop, Dad?

Enough reminiscing about the past now.

How about I tell you what you should really be focusing on?

You must have heard about the threats Peck's Sound's been receiving.

Apparently, the blackmailer knows about Heiju's status.

About Heiju? And that... that means he must know about

your involvement with Sound and Heiju.

Oh my gosh, how sweet.

So, what's your secret to maintaining such a happy wife and marriage?

Well... Honestly, nothing special.

We try to pick up each other's slack, you know?

And we always try to learn from each other. We've been together so long,

we're almost like one now. I couldn't live without her.

But your happy family recently experienced, we'll call it a worrisome

incident involving your son, did you not?

Mr. Pixown, the presidential spokesperson?

That's right, actually. We are aware of what many are saying.

That the blackmail case and the attack were the result of a personal grudge,

and that our son might have provided a reason for the threats.

That's what we heard.

The other side, however, is saying that can't be true, and that we shouldn't

jump to making groundless speculations.

We'd really just like to apologize to our supporters who trust in us, and to

our fellow citizens for causing them concern, and we promise you we will take

care of it as soon as we can.

But if it's all right...

As a mother, I'd like to personally say a few words to my son, Saon.

Who I imagine is awfully stressed out at the moment.

Oh my gosh, sure, we'd love to. Alright, just look straight into the camera and

start whenever you're ready.

Thanks.

Sound, honey.

Do you remember?

What I... What I used to tell you when you were younger?

I don't... want to keep you locked in.

This is just to protect you.

I will... do whatever I can to protect you.

And you will be alright.

Dear Salon.

Sorry for causing you concern.

I promise I'll work really hard from now on.

You don't need to apologize.

You've been dealing with a lot.

By the way, you look even skinnier now.

Oh, so have you fully recovered?

Yes, I'm fine.

Alright then.

We decided to prepare a little welcome back gift for you, Heeju.

A gift?

Mr. Peck will be speaking at the Environment and Climate Day event, which

means he'll be needing a sign language interpreter.

See? I told you you'd make her day.

Yeah, you were right.

And here I was worried about making you work as soon as you came back. But now I

see that excites you. Yeah, if it's too much, just let us know.

No, never. Not at all. If you'd entrust me with the job, I will do my very best.

The President's state visit to France will strengthen the trust and friendship

between the two countries.

It will lay the foundations for developing a cooperative relationship.

We also expect that it will positively contribute to expanding and diversifying

our diplomatic ties.

That's all for now.

All right, we will now accept some questions from the audience.

Here, over here.

I have a question.

A question right here, sir.

I have a question. Okay, I see that everyone is eager to ask questions

today. Reporters, keep in mind we're only accepting questions about what was

addressed today.

Any questions about my briefing?

Peck's briefing?

You know what? It's been a while. I'll accept any questions you might have. Mr.

Peck! Wait, are you sure, Mr. Peck? I have a question.

Question here. Mr. Peck, I'd like to ask a question.

Me too. Mr. Peck, here. Right here. Question over here. Yes, go ahead.

What were the requests of the blackmailer? And why wasn't the police

contacted immediately after the first threat?

Uh, I'll accept a few more questions.

Sure.

I know what Peck Sayon did.

Care to comment on what you think that means?

Next question.

Go ahead, please.

You said you were sure it wasn't a political attack. Is there a reason you

suspect that?

Is this the news media?

What's with all the tiptoeing around?

Who here has a bold question?

Surely there are things that you all wish to know about me. Am I wrong?

Pexan's fatal weakness that no one has been able to figure out.

So, what is it?

Girls? Gambling?

Or worse?

Yikes, what a nut job.

Wait, Mr. Beckham. I'm going to show you something.

And I'd like every reporter in here to make full use of your skills and

resources to solve this little puzzle.

The ground meat was bursting with flavor, so it was like beef or sausage.

Not bad. You're totally right. What's it like? I mean, name a Korean dish closest

to it. There isn't one.

Jeez, you're terrible at it.

Yesterday, the blackmailer sent me this clip. The same clip you just watched

with me.

But, I imagine you're all confused as to what he wants.

Or how exactly this constitutes a threat.

But I'm as confused as you all are.

And that's why I'm going to need your help to solve this.

Question, sir.

What do I get if I win?

The first one to solve this puzzle wins an exclusive interview with me. What?

That's one hell of a prize.

Hey, hand it over.

You're treating us because you got this job, and you're grilling the meat, too?

It's all cooked now. Dig in.

Thank you. Let's eat.

Mmm. It's really good.

It's good, right?

Eat as much as you want.

Miss Han, you're not eating.

I'm eating.

What? Are you crying?

No one's crying. It's just from...

There isn't any smoke in here though.

My

gosh.

Wow, what is this?

How is this so good?

This is where the president's staff comes for their team dinners. No wonder

this is where they go.

I've really wanted to come here with you.

I appreciate that.

You're the only one that takes such a good care of me.

Just so you know, we haven't seen you in a while, but you're looking prettier

than ever.

Oh, I was just thinking that too.

Yeah, me too. I know, right?

Her face, it looks...

I don't know exactly what it is, but you definitely look different.

Oh, I see.

Did you get something done?

Laser treatment?

Botox? No way.

I was joking.

Hey, she's now the president's office sign language interpreter, you know?

And she works for Mr. Peck, whom she admires.

It's no wonder she's glowing.

Though I have to say...

From what I hear, your office sounds like a hectic place to work.

Or at least, that's how it sounds.

How's Mr. Peck? You doing all right?

Yeah, seriously.

All that stuff about blackmail?

Is it all really true?

And what about that accident at the workshop?

You know, I'll bet you he Jew doesn't know anything at all. Here, have another

bite of steak.

Mmm. Mmm.

What is this? That's really tasty. I think it's crole pesto.

Puzzle?

Uh, puzzle.

I mean, since when was our dear Mr. Peck such a handful?

Is he going to keep doing these things without even consulting us?

See?

Look, look. Speak of the devil. Surely someone calling about the puzzle.

Mr. Peck's office. How can I help you?

Is this the office of the presidential spokesperson?

Yes, it is. How may I help you?

I must...

Talk to Mr. Peck sound about something important.

Getting out. Excuse me.

Oh, hi there.

Hello.

Did you... have... lunch?

Hong... He... Ju?

The sign language interpreter?

Yes, I've eaten. What about you?

I've eaten too.

I see you're quite comfortable using sign language now.

I've been... practicing hard.

Am I... good?

Yes. I'm very proud as your sign language teacher.

I'll see you later.

Yeah. I'll see you... at home.

I'll be... home... early.

Mr. Peck, someone called earlier asking for you. It was…

Come on.

The person who called asked me to pass this along.

He's alive.

Is this the whole message?

Yeah, it was weird. He just called, spoke those words and hung up. I did

look up the phone number, though.

It was linked to a business.

What business?

The photos from the workshop are up now.

Oh, I'll check them out.

How do they look?

Wow, everyone looks great, don't they?

Mr. Zhang, you look amazing in these pictures.

you

He's alive.

Alive?

No way.

How is that possible?

Stay inside.

Will you be home late?

I have to admit, this feels weird.

I was supposed to get married, and once I did, I was supposed to move in here.

I need to ask you something.

Go ahead.

Why did you come back?

If you came back to return to where you were supposed to be... Before you ask me

why I came back, aren't you interested in why I left?

From what I heard, the blackmailer knows all about you.

He knows about your marriage also.

And if that's the case, you should know the reason I refused to marry Paxon.

And the reason that you had to step in, Heju.

I'll snap out of it! Come on, wake up!

Don't think you know everything about Pexan.

Did you already know?

And don't you care?

I'll need you if something should happen to me soon.

And if the Paek Seon you've known so far completely vanishes from this world.

And even if I give up being Paek Jang Ho's grandson and Paek Hwi Young's son.

And the presidential spokesperson of my own accord.

Just remember this.

There's only one big son I want the world to remember.

That's the one who belongs to you, who needs you.

Do you like them? Yeah, they look really good.

I love you

He's good for you.

It's clear.

He's protecting you.

Not hiding you.

Here's something I always wondered.

Which one of you does Saan take after?

I wonder what his real name is.

Even though I'm not who you thought I was, please stay with me.

You stayed with me.

It's my turn now.

It's my turn to keep you safe.
