Secret Mother (시크릿 마더)

She was lucky to meet a taxi driver like me.

That bag belongs to...

the lady who took your taxi at the Daechi intersection, right?

She's my sister.

She's left her kids at home to have an affair here.

And I'm here to stop her.

Thank you.

Tell me about that woman first.

Give me the money. Where is the money?

People who have to live must survive.

They must survive no matter what.

Move.

Where is it?

Who are you?

You jerk.

Let's go first.

What are you waiting for?

Let's get out of here first. - Right.

I killed her.

I...

I made her die.

It was me.

Let go.

Why you little...

What about the evidence?

You shouldn't have called the police had you wanted it. Let me go.

No.

Wait. - Are you going to follow that man?

Did you call the police?

What if I did? - I never asked for your help.

I reported a man who was threatening you with a knife.

Was that wrong?

You should've kept your nose out of my business.

Why did you show up all of a sudden?

I see.

I understand, so you keep your nose out of it...

whether I report you along with that man...

for trying to stop me from calling the police.

By the way,

aren't you supposed to be with Min Joon?

If you're that worried about him,

why are you here without realizing that your shoe is missing?

I need to know who that man is to grasp the situation.

Grasp the situation?

It's my attempt to understand you.

I never asked for your understanding.

Think however you want.

Take this. It's uncomfortable for me to keep it.

The report didn't mention the specific motel,

so we searched the nearby motels, and this is the last one.

Kang Hyun Chul ran away after stealing and having someone dead.

We don't know how he will sneak out, so keep the area sealed.

Okay.

Stop right there, you jerk!

You scumbag.

You want to die?

Don't worry. I can't die yet.

Right, you can't.

I have a question to ask you,

so come up, you jerk.

I'm sorry. I'll get caught a little later.

No.

Kang Hyun Chul.

You crazy jerk.

You couldn't take care of your daughter properly,

so you made her die on the street.

Whom do you want to blame now?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Right, I killed her.

I made her die.

Hi, Min Joon. Why did you call me at this hour?

Your mother?

Min Joon, it's your mom.

I couldn't call you because I was busy talking with your tutor.

Right.

Don't worry.

I'll go home soon.

Pretend...

like you didn't see or hear anything.

I don't think that's possible.

You don't seem like someone who came outside...

to have a talk with a tutor.

Let's tell him.

Let's tell him...

that I'll try looking for her just this once.

You have to come this way. I'll show you what to do.

When I'm showing my back... Hold onto my right arm.

Good. Now, pull. Higher. Harder.

Good job. Now, kick my leg.

Kick me harder. That's right.

You just cheated!

I'm going to tickle you.

Gosh, Min Joon. You're so strong.

The bloodstain corresponds with the DNA of the person...

you've requested a check on.

Something definitely happened in that woman's medical office...

that day.

Ms. Kang.

Hello, Ms. Kang.

It's been a while.

Honey.

I...

You and Mr. Jung are living separately...

because of me, right?

Yes, it's all because of you,

you worthless piece of trash!

Ms. Kang.

You're really sophisticated and civilized unlike most women.

Any other woman would've already grabbed me by the hair.

I'll be off now.

Yes, miss.

I'm sorry to call you at such a late hour.

I just found out about Soo Min's award.

What? Award?

Remember the national contest that was held last month?

Soo Min came in first place.

Really?

My gosh.

Thank you.

Ms. Kang, are you crying?

No.

I'm smiling.

I'm happy.

About Ms. Kang...

You better keep your promise.

You jerk.

You should've done your job properly.

How can you ask for a reward after ruining everything?

Gosh, I'm worried that Chae Lin might hear you.

It's all because he fled.

You know I did everything you told me to do.

Stop talking as if you're uneducated.

I'm going to hang up now.

She's so anxious.

Gosh, has she fallen for you already?

I better do it right.

My life's been going so well until now.

Why did it have to be you?

Of all the tutors in this world,

why did Min Joon's tutor have to be you?

Honey.

My gosh.

Here you go.

I seriously think...

you should apply for a patent for your noodles.

No way. I'm only going to cook these noodles for you.

I'm thinking about...

enrolling Chae Lin in a group study for mathematics.

Are you talking about those private classes that are held...

in small studios? - Yes.

This tutor guarantees that Chae Lin will get into Hwangjae Math Academy.

If she gets into that academy,

she'll be able to prepare for the Olympiad.

And if she wins the Olympiad, she'll get into an elite high school.

She'll be guaranteed a road to success.

Don't you know that you're not allowed to write down...

the fact that you won an award in a competition...

when you apply for elite high schools?

I know that.

But who knows? That might change.

What doesn't change is that winning an award will eventually lead...

to a prestigious university.

And I'm going to...

make sure Chae Lin enters 1 of the top 3 universities in Korea.

Of course. I want the same thing for her.

But if you already make her study so hard...

until late at night, she'll eventually burn out.

It's not a good idea. - So you're telling me...

that 2,000 dollars is a waste. - My gosh.

Look at this. We're spending 1,850 dollars every month...

on Chae Lin's private education. If we add 2,000 dollars onto that...

When I was pregnant with her,

I was really happy...

because you told me...

that you're going to make sure our baby grows up to be the best.

Gosh, I know that.

That's why I broke up with my ex-wife who couldn't have babies...

and got married to you. - Exactly.

You need to do everything you can for your one and only child.

I'm not saying this because I think 2,000 dollars is a waste.

I'm just trying to think about...

what would be the best choice for Chae Lin.

I'm going on a business trip to Jeju Island tomorrow,

so I'll sincerely think about it when I get there.

Okay?

We need to hurry up because someone else might take her spot.

Try to think about it positively, okay?

Honey, did you file for our divorce?

Yes. - Take a look at this.

It's about the Science Academy for the Gifted.

If one gets accepted as a social integration candidate,

five percent of the selected number of people...

will get a final acceptance.

5 percent out of 100 people? So just 5 people?

Do you really think Ji Ho will get in?

What are you saying? He needs to get in no matter what.

If he attends the Science Academy for the Gifted,

it'd be a huge advantage for when he applies for medical school.

I'm going to get a reference letter for single parents...
