Heeju.

Did you sleep well?

I want to sleep some more.

Sure.

All right.

Here.

But you'll be late for work.

What time is it?

Now? Yeah.

Oh, it's Saturday.

Time to get up.

Don't do that.

Gotcha.

I had a dream.

San, stop squeezing toothpaste from the middle of the tube. Do it from the

bottom, like this. How many times have I told you?

Who leaves their clothes inside out after taking them off, huh?

Oh, your socks are always lying around inside out.

My socks? When? Every day. That's why I have to flip them right side out before

they go in the wash. What day? What time? Your socks. Childish?

and take care of each other for many years to come.

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

Wait.

Where'd he go?

If you're looking for fun, where the hell are you?

There you are.

Is that you, Master?

Here's the negotiation team's timeline.

Did you catch the news?

Not bad, right?

From now on, no more coming off on your own.

This is what happens when you cut me out.

I want in on the fun, too.

I'll give you something to do.

Keep that woman on the short leash.

Make sure she doesn't chicken out.

What about Hong Hee-joo?

Why did you lie to me?

You're the one who lied!

Mr. Peck, someone called for you earlier, but it was, uh...

Going somewhere?

Why?

Are you running away from something you did?

You need to stop. I need to stop what?

I know what you did.

I do.

You've got to leave him alone.

I guess you saw my face.

You saw it on the news.

Okay,

so... Did you rat me out?

Did you tell that bastard?

That kid.

It didn't do anything wrong.

It was your grandfather and your parents who tried to kill you. So why are you

going after someone who did nothing wrong?

What do you mean?

He did nothing wrong.

For decades, he's been living my life with all its privileges.

And that bastard stole my name!

I shouldn't have saved you when Peck Chung Ho tried to kill you.

I should have let him.

It's a little late for regrets now.

You had better stay out of my way. And don't you dare side with that bastard.

Don't. Because I'm...

I'm gonna crush him.

So it's true.

You're the real Peksaon.

Yeah, looks like it.

So, you wanted to be sure.

Hong Heiju was just bait to lure me out. Did you tell Peksaon to join us?

The three of us should have a little chat.

Yeah.

I'll make sure we get to that.

So stay quiet for now.

I

don't

need you anymore.

Bye now.

Son of a bitch. That sounds lackey.

Let's keep the party going.

Come play with me, Peksaon.

If you bring the cops, Hang Heeju dies.

You got that?

Come play with me.

Come on, Pexone.

Park Doo-Jae!

Doo-Jae!

Wake up!

Open your eyes, Doo-Jae!

Hee-Joo!

Where's Hee-Joo?! That man... He's here.

Hijou!

Come on!

Come on, man.

Hijou!

Hijou!

Horizon shines, sis.

Hijou!

Please stop the car. I don't want to.

Pichu!

You okay?

Are you hurt? I'm okay, yes.

You alright?

It's you.

You're that piece of trash.

Hey.

You look great.

You used to hang out here trying to catch fish with your bare hands.

What the hell do you want from me?

Your name? Your identity?

You want it back?

Yeah, can I? Yes!

Take it back! It's all yours!

I never wanted any of it.

So take it.

Take all of it!

So you'll let me have Hong Hee-Joo too?

Huh?

Yeah, Hong Hee-Joo.

She'll be my wife then?

That's so cute.

Go.

Go get that monster. Keep your mouth shut. I called an ambulance.

Now you know.

It was all part of the plan.

Always staying by your side. Like your shadow.

Because I thought you were the...

And I was the one.

Up in the mountains.

Who pushed her down?

Change of plan.

Today is D-Day.

The same way I lost the only family I had.

I wanted you to suffer like I did.

That pain of losing someone you can't live without.

You've got the wrong person.

He didn't do it. It was that other guy.

Then who the hell are you?

Oh, Specsong, huh?

All these years.

What have I been doing?

Doge.

Doge!

Park Doge!

Park Doge!

Stay with me!

Nice to meet you, Mr. Fack.

I'm Park Doge. I'm a junior reporter.

The office of the president?

That's right.

My executive assistant.

Though, the thing about being a spokesperson is that at any time I can

be replaced, so... It doesn't matter.

I'm honored.

I'll work hard.

I will.

Thank you very much for picking me, Mr. Peck.

Are you all right?

Are you hurt?

I trusted him with everything.

From the first day you were taken.

Tracing the number, tracking the kidnapper.

Hiring and managing your bodyguards.

And on top of it... I also trusted him to look after you.

Don't beat yourself up.

It's not your fault.

At what point did things go wrong?

Like that bastard said.

I was just a boy who used to come here to catch fish.

They're all asking for it.

They're coming at me from every direction, asking to get killed.

The first anniversary of his passing.

It's coming soon.

It's in three days, right?

Around this time last year, I saw it on the news that Baek Jong-ho had passed

away.

And I remembered it all.

Every time I turned on the TV, I saw his face and I got flashbacks.

Help! His expression as he held my head underwater.

Do you know what I thought?

I thought too bad.

I should have been the one to kill that old wretch.

I should have killed him with my own two hands.

What?

What's wrong with my hands?

Do they look dirty?

Are you crying?

Why? Do you pity me?

No.

I pity myself.

Jenner lied.

He told me you were dead.

No, he actually said he kills you.

That old man.

Deceived me.

I call bullshit on that.

You all wanted me dead and gone.

Do you know why I didn't? I didn't ask for your help at all.

Because to you I was a loose end.

I would have been locked away.

No, no.

No, sweetheart.

You thought what?

Tell me!

Are you glad I'm alive?

Are you even happy I'm back?

I am, of course.

I don't... want to lose you ever again.

I mean every word of that.

Miss Shim, who are you?

Get him!

Shim!

You little... Back

off!

Back off or I'll die!

Sit tight, old man.

I've got something special planned for you.

Did you find him?

No.

Darling, how can you treat him like this?

You know he went through hell and back.

How dare you?

Hell?

Hell is where your son is dragging us.

You need to wake up!

As if life was heaven before all this.

I don't know about you, but I haven't had a moment of peace ever since.

You gotta stop playing the victim here.

If you find him, then what?

Will you own it and tell the whole country that he's your son?

Will you take care of him for the rest of your life?

He's... a monster that we spawned.

Nothing more.

And nothing less.

Actually, he's a lot like you.

But you know what?

Neither of you...

take after peck chang ho why are you saying this now

because there is someone who takes after him

i'm all ears

There's nothing you can do with the truth.

Nothing at all.

Paik Chung Ho is dead.

And that son is way more brilliant than you.

What could you do about it?

You'd have to give up the presidency, which matters more to the Paik family

than anybody's life.

In the case of the blackmail against presidential spokesperson Paek Sa-eun,

Sung Rang police have announced the arrest of a suspect today.

Officers also searched his home yesterday afternoon.

Our colleague Kim Jun-sun is on the scene with more.

Police officers descended on the suspect's sole residence, conducting a

search and seizure that lasted more than five hours. So, that's Park Do-jae's

home?

I can't believe this.

What is happening right now?

Why would he do this to Mr. Peck? Do you know if Mr. Peck is doing okay?

I spoke to him briefly earlier and he didn't sound okay.

I mean, how could he?

He trusted Dojay more than anybody else here.

What do you think will happen now?

Dojay will be investigated and will pay for what he did.

And Mr. Peck said a formal statement would be issued soon.

suspect to figure out his motive and a full timeline of events.

Authorities have already identified and searched two properties believed to be

his hideouts.

During the search, officers recovered a weapon that might have been used in the

crimes. The forensic analysis of fingerprints lifted from the weapon

returned no match in any database, suggesting the primary suspect may have

no official record and may not be a registered citizen.

We're trying to analyze the computer we seized from Mr. Park's home. Seems like

he's running a backdoor hacking program.

You think he used it to track my location and listen to my calls? Yeah, I

do. And you weren't his only target.

There was another device. It might have belonged to his accomplice.

You mean the blackmailer?

Then can't you use it to locate him now?

The problem is that the program's encrypted.

I can't tell how long it'll take to crack it.

Well, then the fastest route would be to ask Doge directly.

Yeah, but for now, he's invoking his right to silence.

And as I told you earlier this morning, he... How's he doing?

Well, sir, fortunately, he's going to survive.

Look at what you've done.

You made a big mess. Why did you... I get it.

From the beginning, the real killer manipulated you into assisting him.

The humiliation of being tricked.

The shame you felt.

I imagine it made you want to vanish.

You wanted revenge.

Because I deceived you.

And I get that. But he, you, didn't do anything wrong.

And you still tried to hurt her.

That's attempted murder.

Get that? You don't get to give me a lecture.

You had all the privileges of living as Picksound, didn't you?

You're right.

And everyone who's responsible, including me, will have to answer for

it.

Right now, I need your help to catch this bastard.

Hey, don't give me that bullshit.

As if you'd expose your family's dirty secrets and give up your powerful

status. I don't buy it.

You can't fool me. Then why would you let me live?

Have you considered that I might not be the man you think I am?

Even just once.

I won't ask the police to be lenient.

So if you want a reduced sentence, you'll have to cooperate.

Did you really?

Never suspect me?

I was always on pins and needles.

Thinking you might find me out.

Because I knew.

That you always saw everything.

You had my trust.

Normally, I don't trust anyone.

But I trusted you, Doge.

It may be too late.

But I'll ask anyway.

Can I ask you to trust me now?

Long story short, John Chin-suk raised Sa'en. The real Paek Sa'en, who was

presumed dead, has returned and wants to kill Sa'en. And that son of a...

And

that lowlife is the kid from the mansion.

You have a knack for synthesis.

You should ask him directly, but I figured that eventually you'd piece it

together yourself.

I'll let him.

Tell you the rest.

The rest?

You mean there's more?

Simon must have been under a tremendous amount of stress.

Carrying all those secrets on his own.

He needs to stop acting so tough.

Please look after him.

Thing is, Saman doesn't talk to anyone about his personal life.

But he told you everything.

It's the green light.

Green light for... For us?

Call him right now. Ask him if he's eaten. And say, if you haven't, let's

grab a bite. You'll be his food bro.

His bro.

Me.

Uh, yes?

Uh, San?

What did they find?

Don't worry.

I'll drive. No, it's okay. I can drive.

Get in the car.

Once the remains reach this stage, it's harder to estimate the time of death,

let alone ID the victim.

But we did recover some personal effects. It would be helpful if you

could take a look.

This marble, I recognize it.

It was mine.

I gave it to Young Suk.

After I lost a game. And this is Minu's ring.

It's big for a child's ring.

His mom gave it to him and said she'd come

back for him soon.

But she never did.

Then this must be Jim Young's.

Lee Jin Young, the one who loved cars?

Is that true?

Here, I got you this.

Thank you.

Sangwoo, it's really nothing.

For not forgetting my orphanage friends.

Yuri, you're the most cheerful person I've met.

And so...

Whenever the past that I was trying to forget would reemerge.

I was able to stay strong.

I've got you to thank for that.

Thank you.

So the real Pek Saan is very much alive.

And he was the blackmailer.

Wow,

it's all starting to make sense now.

When I was young, I heard Yujin crying in the yard, so I went outside.

Yujin, are you okay?

This boy I saw looked about our age, so I assumed it was Sa'an.

But when I actually met Sa'an, I noticed he was a lot taller.

So I wondered if that boy had been someone else.

That boy you saw, he was probably the real Pek Sa'an. Yeah, I think so.

And not long after that, the three of us were in that car crash.

Then the real Pek Sa'an was just gone.

So, are you saying the crash may not have been an accident after all?

If Yujin saw his face, if he saw the real Peck-san, who was kept hidden

by the Peck family...

Why didn't you answer my calls?

What are you doing here?

You have some nerve showing up here.

Are you trying to push Heeju out so you can live here?

You're laughing.

Am I amusing you?

Heeju, let's talk another day.

I'm off.

The culprit this, the accomplice that. It's all over the news. What the hell's

going on?

This noise can't be good for the election.

What if your father-in-law doesn't win the election after all?

Had I known I would have married you off to the son of the Yongma Construction

family, I made a bad call.

Actually, it's not my fault. It's all because of her.

She's the one who ran away in the middle of the night. I have regrets too. What?

Huh? Yes, Mom, I regret loving you.

Although... No, that wasn't love.

You... Ina starts acting up, so now you think you can?

I tried to be an obedient daughter.

That's how I showed I loved you.

I thought that someday, you'd love me back if I did exactly as you said,

but...

Now that I've experienced what it feels like to love and to be loved,

I know what love isn't.

Demanding endless sacrifices like you did, or dutifully obeying someone like I

did, that's not love.

You think?

Did I do it for my own gain?

I did it for you. It was all for your sake! You're just gaslighting me!

I'm done listening to you.

And by the way, I'll never be the president's daughter-in-law.

So wake up already, please.

Ungrateful bitch.

After everything I've done to raise her.

Do you remember that DNA report?

I said I had no idea who sent it.

I think I know who sent it.

Who?

You hear, Heju?

Those are our marriage vows.

You don't have to read all of it. Just remember these three.

One, as the groom, you can never file for divorce.

Two, we can never get a divorce, no matter the circumstances. Three, we have

to be diligent in letting everyone know that we're married.

If you violate any of the above, the penalties... Two billion won.

What are you doing?

Now I get what you meant that day when you said... For me,

it started way before that.

I was light years ahead of you.

I don't know when it started for you.

But for me, it started about three years ago.

That DNA report.

You sent it to Ina the night before the wedding.

Didn't you?

Hong Heizhu, is it true she's being married off to the second son of the

Yonghua Construction family?

Heizhu's mother is the only woman who'd sell her own daughter off to that

scumbag. The wedding will go ahead tomorrow as planned, but with a

different bride.

I won't marry you.

I'll marry your sister instead.

I was never a stand-in.

I was actually... your bride all along.

When all of this is behind us.

Will you marry me, San?

No.

Once all of this is over.

want to propose to you.

A witness helped us identify three of the four sets of remains, using their

personal effects, but when it comes to the fourth, we've reached a dead end.

It'll take time to find out if there's a genetic connection between you and that

victim.

I found my friends thanks to you.

There's still one the police haven't identified.

One of the twins?

Yes.

I felt like a suicide bomb.

Like you wanted revenge.

I thought I just had to reach the targets and achieve the goals that kept

me going all this time.

Then I'd be ready to disappear too.

What about now?

Did you have a change of heart?

Oh yeah.

I'm gonna be who I always wanted to, with the people I

want to spend the rest of my life with.

Are you gonna try again?

You grieve your dead brother.

What about the life still in front of you?

How many more lives does he have to destroy before this ends?

Actually, it's not over yet.

We have to catch him first.

The rest of it, I'll figure out once he's been stopped.

You know?

When I realized that you were not the peck sound I'd been hating, I was

relieved.

Hey, I'm in. All right.

How many devices do you see?

Park said he planted trackers and spyware in every device the guy uses.

I see three in total, but two of them have gone dark. One's still active.

Pull the GPS and locate the device. Come on.

Where's Sound?

I heard they caught the accomplice.

What about the blackmailer? When will they catch him?

We already know... who the blackmailer is.

Who is it?

Of course, Dad.

You don't look surprised at all.

Right.

You already knew, didn't you?

Nothing happens in this family without you knowing.

Just finish what you were saying.

Who's the blackmailer? Before I answer your question, I need to ask you

something.

Why did you cover up our accident?

What deal did you make with Peck Jang-ho?

The bastard who ran over my kids.

I tracked him down in the Philippines and got him to confess as I was about to

slash his throat.

So don't try and play dumb.

Are you sure you've thought of the cost of this?

What will you have left after you shoot me?

You've put tens of billions into my campaign.

So if you shoot me, you lose all that investment.

As if losing your son wasn't enough. Are you okay with that?

You know me well.

I care more about my losses than my gains.

Would it ease things to know you weren't the only one who lost a loved one?

I imagine the two of them are walking together by now.

What are you saying?

They're on their way to heaven.

Your son and my grandson.

So? What do you say? Are we even now?

Tell us the truth dad.

What did you give up?

And what did you gain?

Come to the memorial hall as soon as you can.

Something's wrong. I can feel it.

What's going on, sir?

Sir, Mr. Hong.

What on earth are you doing?

It's here, near Yunhua-ri, Sansonmyeon, Gyeonggi province.

Finally, we got you, you bastard.

Come on, let's roll.

I gave you fair warning.

If one of those bottom feeders ever surfaced, I'd cut them up into tiny

pieces. Starting from the head all the way down to the tail, and lay every

piece in your yard.

Hand him over.

Where's that bottom feeder hiding?

Security! What's going on?

We should leave!

There's a fire! Everyone evacuate!

Sam!

Let's get out of here!

Fire!

Yes,

talk to me. We've located them. 24 Yong Wa Ri, Sang Wong Yong, Gyeonggi

Province. We're on our way.

What did you say?

She was right next to me.

I'll find her.

Heejoo!

Heejoo!

Heejoo!

So you had better say goodbye to your wife.

Now I have what you cherish the most in this world. Isn't that right,

Hitchin?

Answer him, sis. Your husband's on the line. Hitchin!

You'd better not lay a hand on Heejoo, or I'm gonna kill you.

Better go. I'm the one you're after. Don't hurt anyone else. You and I will

settle this.

Calm down, man.

Hearing you get worked up like that, it turns me on.

Don't worry. You're next.

Just sit tight and wait.

There's gonna be a lot more suffering coming your way. Baek Jang-ho's

grandson?

Living a perfect life?

That's... That's what the old man wanted, and I'm not gonna let that

happen.

I won't let him rest in peace.

I'm going to make him crawl out of that grave.

See, this is just a small preview of things to come.

You still don't have the faintest idea of what real suffering is, and I want

you to experience suffering.

Why?

Because you...

You just stood there and watched me die.

So now I want to watch you too.

I want to watch you beg.

I want to watch you fight for your life.

Fight for every single breath.

Like you're about to suffocate.

It's pain on a whole new level.

You usually smell good.

I'm gonna make you suffer, so...

So much that the only scent left will be your own blood.

Hey, Ju.

Don't be scared.

I won't let you down.

I'm coming for you, so... Don't come!

Remember I said... I want to protect you.

I really do just this once.

Just remember this one thing.

With all my heart.

I love you, San.

What? You?

I love you.

You crazy bitch!

Remember?

Don't you bail now. No turning back. We're going all in.

Those were your words.

I started this.

And I'll be the one to put an end to it.

I swear you'll never hurt him again. Damn it!

He drew.

This car was pulled out of the water.

The police are still combing the area on foot and by boat.

The car was discovered earlier today in the upper Chonghan River.

As you can see here behind me, the impact was so strong it tore the

guardrail right off.

A rescue team located the car about 20 meters underwater, but no one was found

inside. Police have now officially confirmed that the car belongs to Ms.

Hong, wife of presidential spokesperson Paik Sa-on.

She was in the vehicle after being abducted when it went off the road and

into the river. The news is sending shockwaves across the nation.

This is a composite sketch of the man police think blackmailed Peck's aunt,

and there's an APB out on the suspect.

Mr. Peck will hold a press conference to make an official statement and answer

questions. He's coming. He's here.

There he is. Look.

Oh, wow. It's him. This is big.

Take it down, Inosh, people.

This isn't a tabloid story. It's a criminal investigation.

First, I need to confess to my dear fellow citizens.

There's a secret.

I've been hiding for a long time.

It's about presidential candidate Paik Wee Young.

I'm not his son.

I'm not Paik Chang Ho's grandson.

The name Paik Sang, my identity as the son of Paik Wee Young, it's all fake.

It was never mine.

But there is one thing about me I know to be absolutely true.

It's that... I have a wife.

We've been married for three years.

Two days ago, the same man who has been sending me threats and blackmailing me

abducted my wife.

Police have launched a full investigation and are searching for her

as we speak, but we still have no idea where she is.

So I stand today before you, no longer as Pek San, but as a man,

and as a husband, asking for your help, and all of

your cooperation in finding my wife.

We need to focus on her.

Hong Hee Joo.

28 years old.

5 feet and 6 inches.

Hong Hee Joo disappeared?

Mr. Kang, you didn't know either?

At the time she was taken, she was wearing a black suit and black shoes.

She has long straight hair.

She's a sign language interpreter for the office of the president.

I look forward to working with you too.

Is there something you want to do?

There is.

The kind of thing I never thought the two of us could do.

I did imagine what it'd be like.

Even though I thought it was too far-fetched.

The two of us.

Spending time together just like any other couple.

There were a lot of things I couldn't do for her.

Let's be happy, the two of us.

I haven't even had the chance to make you happy yet.

When all of this is over...

I will propose to you, Ichi.

I know there'd be no next time.

I would have made better use of our time.

Oh my gosh, Hitu.

I'm asking for your help.

If anyone has seen my wife, please contact the police.

Please feel free to share any information that could relate to the

case.

Please, I'm begging you.

Help us bring Hitu home.

I always wondered... Why was I born?

If I'm being forced to live a life that wasn't mine... Then why was I born?

But I think I finally have the answer.

The reason I was born... And had to live as Pigsound... That was

for you.

I love you
