Secret Mother (시크릿 마더)

Kim Yoon Jin speaking.

Help me. - Hello?

Please help me.

Hello?

Hello?

There's an automatic recording function...

installed in every phone in the hospital.

It's been saved in your phone.

Thank you. - No problem.

A vehicle was found at the reservoir in Namyangju three days ago.

It turned out to be that of the assailant of the hit-and-run case...

which happened nearly a year ago.

The assailant had hit a six-year-old and run away.

The police could find no proof which gave the investigation a hard time.

The most important evidence was discovered this time.

However, the car owner...

has been missing since that day until now.

According to the evidence and circumstances,

he's expected to have committed suicide right after the case.

The police announced they had no choice but to conclude the case...

because they were unable to...

secure testimonies from the assailant or the victim.

It's me, Yoon Jin.

Where are you? I need to talk to you about something.

About what?

Let's talk in person.

Help me.

Please help me.

Help me.

Please help me.

It was from a phone booth located on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.

I have not much information other than that,

but what do you think?

I don't know.

I was on my way back from checking...

my sister's stuff found in the car.

Are you not sure...

that the caller was Kim Hyeon Joo?

You don't even have that much faith? It's not that they found her body.

Weren't you desperate to believe...

that your sister would be alive somewhere?

Her car has been found,

and people are saying she probably killed herself.

Why are you telling me that...

you think my sister is the one who called you?

I don't believe what people say.

You just don't want to.

It's because...

you want her to be alive and pay for what she did.

I should get going now.

I have a plane to catch.

I'm now curious about what happened to your sister that day.

I want to find that out as well.

I also want to know...

how my husband is involved in your sister's disappearance.

When I told you about this, you didn't believe me.

Have you found evidence or something?

You told me not to accuse someone without proof, didn't you?

What suddenly changed your mind?

Just like you said,

I can't avoid things just because I'm afraid.

Even if I close my eyes, the truth about my husband...

can't be hidden.

Hello.

I'm Kim Eun Young,

and I'm back.

I look forward to working with you.

Ms. Kim. Let's go back to my room.

We're not done with our lesson.

You can go to his room.

She's going to stay here for a while.

Put up with the inconvenience for Min Joon's sake.

Do you think this makes sense?

Do you think hiring her back makes any sense?

Why does Min Joon's tutor have to be her of all people?

I already forgave her for lying about her education.

She also got some experience in childcare in Canada.

She's good enough to be Min Joon's tutor.

I'm not talking about her qualifications!

Lower your voice. I'm not going to change my mind.

I'm going to make the calls from now on.

I'm doing this for your sake as well.

Listen.

I really wanted to patch things up between us.

I was going to do...

the things you wanted me to do...

and make every possible effort for a new start.

Then...

you brought Eun Young back into our house.

How can I be okay with this?

Don't make efforts for me.

Make efforts for yourself.

Let's see how much you've improved, Min Joon.

Okay. I'm confident.

What do you think?

My answer is correct, right?

Great job.

Shall we move onto the next question?

Okay.

Solve this problem...

while I talk to your mother.

Okay.

Are you trying to make your husband uncomfortable...

and drive him out of the house?

Is that why you brought me back here?

You're right. I do want to make him feel uncomfortable.

I want him to feel...

that he doesn't want to live with such discomfort anymore...

so that he will come to reveal...

his secrets himself.

I want to give him one last chance.

Even if you think I'm using you,

this wouldn't be a bad deal for you.

Whether you find your sister...

or bring down my husband,

you will find out the truth eventually.

But if you don't like it, I won't stop you from leaving anymore.

Fine. It's my defeat.

The proof of your involvement in my sister's disappearance...

is all gone now.

Kim Eun Young...

fell off from the rooftop.

What?

She might be dead now.

Hyun Chul.

Kang Hyun Chul.

Listen to me carefully.

Just think about saving your daughter's life.

I'll take care of the rest. Do you understand?

Did she come back to take that back?

Have you lost your mind? How dare you come back here?

Don't you think you're being reckless?

I could scream this instant.

What's your purpose?

What did you tell my wife to come back here?

I told her that I won't leave until I find my sister.

Haven't you heard about your sister's suicide?

You checked her articles.

You don't know if they're things she left or evidence of...

a fabricated suicide.

Eun Young.

This is not where you should be right now.

Please leave quietly.

If you want me to leave this place as soon as possible,

find concrete evidence that my sister killed herself...

and show it to my face.

Don't worry.

I knew this could happen.

A divorce lawyer?

I also consulted with that lawyer myself.

She's very rational and level-headed.

She's a great lawyer.

Do you want to go down to her office together this afternoon?

Well...

Isn't it better to get things ready beforehand?

I can't believe you're giving me advice on divorce.

We should've opened up to each other sooner.

Oh, my. Look who it is.

Oh, my gosh. Lisa!

Ms. Kim. It's been a long time.

Are you okay now? - Of course.

It's great to see you again like this.

Have a seat.

It's good to see you too.

Are you tutoring Min Joon again?

It's because I'm going back to work.

I brought her here today because...

you were all worried about her,

and she also wanted to see you.

You've been through a lot of trouble.

I'm fine now.

You were taking time off work for Min Joon's education.

Why did you decide to go back to work so soon?

I've been focusing on Min Joon's education,

but that's not exactly the reason why I took a leave of absence.

After I lost Min Joon's sister in an accident,

I thought I needed something to help me stay focused,

so I gave my attention to his education.

But now,

I decided not to hide anymore.

That's why you were so focused on Min Joon.

I understand how you feel.

It must've been tough.

How did you live with all that in your heart?

We had no idea. That's why we misunderstood you...

when you first moved here.

Nonetheless, you all helped me out greatly.

Goodness, I have to run.

I must go.

Don't worry about us and go.

Goodbye. - Bye.

Ms. Kim, did you know about this?

Yes. - It looked as if...

there was nothing wrong with her family.

Every family has problems of their own.

Are you really all right now?

I heard that you all were concerned about me.

I'm so sorry about that day.

I thought you sent those pictures.

Pictures?
