Miss Monte-Cristo (Miss Montecristo / Miseu Montekeuliseuto / 미스 몬테크리스토)

All test results show she's fine. How come she has a fever?

She also got skinnier overnight.

Her temperature is back to normal.

I'm sorry for making you worry, Mom.

I was really surprised because you seemed to be getting better.

I thought something was happening to you last night.

But...

you were looking for your father while groaning.

I was?

Yes.

Don't you remember your father?

No.

I just couldn't stop thinking about the man we saw in the elevator.

I wondered if my father was someone like him.

But Mom,

where is my father?

He passed away...

a long time ago.

Even before Ga Heun was born,

he died before he could see her.

He passed away?

I have some stories you haven't heard.

Though he died early, he loved you more than anyone else.

The reason you came back from death was...

probably thanks to your father who was concerned about you.

Dad...

We have two consecutive deaths,

and it'd be inconvenient for others to get more mourners.

I think we should wait for one more day...

and carry him out with Eun Jo tomorrow.

The father and daughter were so intimate that I was jealous.

But they didn't have to die together.

Who did this to Sang Man?

Sang Man!

What on earth are you doing here?

You said you were going to make a man of me.

You can't leave without keeping your promise!

Excuse me?

What's your relationship with the deceased?

He made me a better man at the school I was in.

Your school?

Yes. I served two years before I was released.

But Sang Man never went to school.

I meant prison.

What?

Are you sure you got rid of the security footage?

That's all you care about, isn't it?

Of course, it is.

Both our lives depend on it.

I did everything you told me to.

So never forget that you're in this...

with me.

Come outside.

Look, it says he'll hire me when I'm released,

so I have to visit him.

I met him a couple of days ago, and he told me to come back.

Who do you think you are?

Hire you? Get out of here!

You don't belong here.

It's like I'm out of luck.

Se Rin, what are you doing here?

I was just heading in.

Dad, do you know him?

"Dad"?

No way. He's just lost, that's all.

Hey, what are you still doing here?

You come around here again, and I'll beat the heck out of you.

Gosh.

Come on.

How is she still so pretty in that kind of clothes?

Wouldn't this mean fate that we're meeting again?

How much has Sang Man been giving charity?

Even an ex-convict is here to see him.

He's been paying the wrong people.

Get in there. I need to take a call.

Okay. Don't take too long.

Hello?

This is Daesung Bank.

Koeun Apparel's promissory notes are due today.

When will you deposit the money?

You don't have too much time.

Oh, the promissory notes?

You see, it's...

Let me just check something and call you back.

It'd be a waste to spend this to pay for the promissory notes.

I've been wasting so many years under Sang Man.

Don't I deserve to have at least this much?

Hang on. If the promissory notes aren't paid,

the company would go bankrupt.

When the creditors come by,

I can get Mrs. Bae to give up the inheritance.

Then Koeun Shopping Center would fall into my hands.

Ms. Ju Se Rin.

Why don't you say hi?

How do you know my name?

We're acquaintances. Why are you ignoring me?

How am I your acquaintance? How did you know my name?

In front of Sang Man's office last time,

you did this to help me escape his office.

When have I done that?

We made such a great team since the first day we met.

You rarely see soulmates like us in the world of gangsters.

Let's get a cup of tea somewhere.

Such a connection we have.

Have you lost it? There's no way I'm drinking tea with you.

This.

I picked this up in front of Sang Man's office.

Then who did I meet that day?

Give it back.

What were you doing when you dropped this?

And why was it in front of Sang Man's office?

I beg you. Please give it back.

Maybe next time. Then we'll see each other again.

What's up with that guy?

People can't find out I was in Mr. Ko's office.

He died due to diabetic shock,

and Mr. Ko and his daughter are having a joint funeral.

What? Mr. Ko is dead?

Yes, ma'am. I wonder if the rebate worsened his chronic disease...

Are you implying he died because of me?

No, ma'am.

So I sent the certification of contents for nothing.

Cancel the contract right now.

And Koeun Apparel is responsible for the cancellation.

Let the record show it was due to his poor management...

and faulty fabric.

It'll be trouble if his family files a complaint.

Do not let the press find out about it.

Yes, ma'am.

What was so stressful about that for him to die?

The blackout curtains have to be black.

Make them big, thick, and double-layered...

so that there's not a single ray of morning sunlight.

I want to be able to sleep by day like it's night.

- Okay? - Like it's night.

And this table clock.

The second hand is too loud, so get rid of it.

- Table clock... - And get a bigger bed.

Change it to a super king-size bed.

All right.

- Okay. Super king size. - Super king.

Super king.

And I don't need breakfast, so never wake me up.

If you could make a brunch and put it in front of the door,

I'll eat it.

Do you think this is a hotel?

President Oh, are you home already?

I'll make dinner right away.

Do you think this is your playground?

And you turned your office into an internet cafe.

You think I gave you the director's position for free?

If you don't fulfill your role, you're kicked out immediately.

Anytime.

What?

I moved back in because of Grandma.

Though I can pretend to be your son,

I haven't forgiven you yet.

Don't be mistaken.

You got remarried as soon as Mom died as if you were waiting,

and I'm going to hate you until I die.

That brat.

He's old enough already.

When will he grow up?

Oh, boy. Are you up, Mrs. Bae?

What day is it today?

I need to go to Eun Jo.

I've been sleeping for so long.

You kept talking nonsense,

so they gave you sedatives.

You slept like a baby.

It's for the better.

Otherwise, the funerals...

Eun Jo must be waiting for her mother.

I'll go to her.

So you want to follow her to the other world?

I'm her mother, and I couldn't be there for her.

I'll never be able to see her again.

I have to give her a hug.

But...

where's my husband?

This is insane.

How can I tell her about her husband now?

She might also pass away if I did that.

You see,

Mrs. Bae.

Brace yourself when I say this, okay?

It's not the end of the world...

to lose your husband.

I'm telling you from experience.

Those who are alive have to keep living somehow.

You still have Eun Gyu.

What are you talking about?

You see,

something happened...

to your husband.

Something happened?

What does that...

Mrs. Bae!

Oh, no. What is this?

What is happening?
