Flames Of Ambition

Episode 46

Where are you?

Listen well.

Minjae and his father just went in.

You know what that means, right?

Why aren't you answering me?

Yes, I know that well.

I know all too well what that means.

So I won't need to tell you what to do, right?

Ingi...

Please, do this for me.

Let go of Minjae now.

I beg you. Ingi...

Why aren't you answering me? Say something.

I said I got it.

Give me a clear answer.

Is it that hard to say "Yes, I won't meet him again"?

I don't know whether I can promise you I won't, that's why.

Say what?

I don't know what to do, either.

Are you out of your mind? Minjae is your brother!

That's your problem.

- It's what?! - It is.

No matter whose son Minjae is, it doesn't have anything to do with me.

Don't hang up on me! Hey... Ingi!

- All done? - Yes.

- Your father? - He's talking with Doctor Yoon.

It hurt a bit?!

- For a little blood test?! - It took them ages to do it.

Did it hurt my boy so bad?

Up until yesterday, I thought I had no future....

Worrying how I'd go on if I really wasn't Dad's son.

You'd still have me, why worry?!

Wouldn't Ingi make a lot more money than me?

She's still an actress, after all.

Just a sec, let me give her a call.

- Minjae! - It'll only be a minute.

I went to the hospital to take a DNA test with my father.

- What did Doctor Yoon say? - He was mortified.

Even though I'm the one to blame.

Minjae.

Yes, coming.

He called Ingi the moment he came out.

It's not like I can tell him anything...

- Mom, I'll just grab a taxi. - To go where?

I got us a couple ring.

Minjae...

Dad... Can you give me a little money?

- How much? - A lot.

What would you need money for?

- Use this. - Honey!

Thank you, Dad. See you later.

- Let's go. - Honey...

How can you just give him your card? He's going to meet Baek Ingi.

Honey.

- We can't stop him now. - But then they might end up...

I'll find a way to convince him later.

Honey.

If I knew this would happen, I would have never told you the truth about her.

Sorry for suspecting Minjae.

I told your father, too. That Baek Ingi is my daughter.

Do you have anything more expensive than these?

Dad gave me his card.

Give me your hand.

Look this way.

What, now?

Your daughter is driving me crazy.

I thought she was starting to listen?!

You're being a good mother to her now.

You're sending her to Hollywood, and even letting her marry as she pleases,

what's there to complain, anyway?

Minjae is my husband's son.

Don't you know what that means?

What would that change?

It means that Minjae is her brother!

- But Minjae is not your son. - He is! Forgot how I raised him?

Nayoung... Just give up.

What?

All the better. Now that you've proven that Minjae is Kim Youngmin's son,

he'll eventually inherit the group just as you wanted.

So that does it. Just start anew with Baek Ingi.

I'm never going to leave that house.

You really think Chairman Kim is going to leave you alone?

I'll fight him, then.

Hey... Go ask around, see if anyone will take your side.

Think about it... What chaebol chairman would just take in someone like you?

He'll never be able to kick me out, unless I leave that place on my own.

And your husband?

See? You can't make excuses with him.

You might have raised his son with all the affection in the world,

but if he feels betrayed, there's nothing you can do.

- We'll see about that. - Just leave that place.

- Although I might not be of much help. - Forgot who is responsible for all this?

Again, bringing up the past...

You think I no longer get the urge to strangle you?

We must send Baek Ingi to Hollywood as soon as possible.

I said I'll give you that money!

- Why don't you talk to her? - Who?

Who do you think?

Hey... The money is enough, why do you keep trying to get me involved?

Just the thought gives me the chills.

- Then, get me that money by tomorrow. - How much?

5 billion.

Are you insane?!

What are they doing in Hollywood, spreading bills on the floor before they start shooting?

Why would it cost so much...

If I can't deal with Baek Ingi, you'll have to.

You know how much suffering she brought upon me?

If I told you, then that'd be a good excuse to "get the chills."

- Get me that money by tomorrow. - Just kill me, while you're at it.

Let the newspapers deal with it, then.

What's wrong with you...

I still have to live in my father's shadows.

But you've made money with those Atlantic shares.

You can just sell those.

What are you, kidding me?

- You laugh?! - Be glad it's just that.

Because I'd happily bury you if I could.

All right.

I said I get it!

Good to hear.

Now Minjae will stop acting up.

What did your wife say? I think I made myself clear with her.

Father... Just close an eye on that.

What do you mean?

- I'm saying this for Minjae's sake. - Are you using him to make excuses now?

What do you think would happen to him if her past was revealed?

What's that supposed to mean? It's for his sake that we should reveal it.

- Do you want to see him suffer again? - How much longer will you keep it secret?

Listen.

If he learned that the woman he likes is his mother's daughter, what would he do?

He'll be able to move on.

And if he can't, it just means he doesn't have what it takes to succeed me.

You think everyone is like you?

What are you trying to say, you little...

I can't allow Minjae to become like you.

He must resemble me in every way.

Because if he takes after you, what is he ever going to accomplish?

He must become strong enough to endure every obstacle coming his way.

Because you can't.

You can't even let go of a single woman, what did you expect?!

I can see why. Since he'd take after someone who forsook his own children.

When they're that useless, you should forsake them.

Look. I didn't reap much when it comes to children.

Neither Youngdae, Youngjun nor you have much to show for.

But Minjae is different.

So I'm going to raise him the way I want.

Raise him, and then leave the group to him.

So these are going to end all over the newspapers?

I barely stopped Minjae from posting these on the Internet.

What do we do now, Ma'am?

Ma'am.

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

Ma'am...

If he finds out I took those photos... Ma'am.

Ma'am...

Wait... Ma'am!

Ma'am!!

What is all this?

I asked you a question!

A wedding dress?!

Are you out of your mind?

Give back everything he bought you!

What would you do with this...

Are you really going to get married?

Answer me!

Are we done?

Then go back home.

That should have taken care of any attachment you might have had left.

Attachment?!

For whom?

I never cared about you.

You'd first have to share some time together for that.

A tramp pops up out of nowhere and call herself my daughter and... attachment?!

- Maybe you just love to hate me. - What?!

- You're not getting out of this so easily. - So how would I get out of this?

If one of us dies...

It was so pretty, I just bought it on my own.

I thought about what might mean the most to you.

Not me, I'm sure?!

It's Minjae.

- Ingi. - That's the only way I can get my revenge.

Taking away what's most precious to you.

And if I said it was you... What would you do?

Shall I die, then?

Why would you?

You can just go shoot that film in the US and make a ton of money.

That's not going to cut it.

Why not?

I'm not asking you to do it for my sake.

Do it for Minjae.

What he wants is me, so what?

You're just doing it to get back at me, don't make excuses!

Give me a moment, Ajumma.

Come here. I said come sit here!

Ingi.

Let's do this.

Leave for the US tomorrow. I'll follow you right after the meeting.
