EPISODE 2

You, to the left. You, to the right.

- Find them quickly! - Yes, sir!

No one at the emergency exit.

Nobody's here.

Find them at all costs, whoever the bastard is.

I think I came in here by mistake. I'm sorry.

You shit!

- Hey, hey. Stop that. - What the hell?

Damn you!

Who are you?

- Again. -

Bring her to me.

Seize her!

Oh, shit.

- Hey, you! - Oh, fuck.

- The other side! Go! - Damn it. Let's go.

Mr. Jo says there are no records of anyone named No. 50.

He says you may go.

Where is Mr. Jo right now?

An urgent matter came up. He had to leave quickly.

What about the director? I'd like to meet her.

She's not here.

Pardon me.

I know the woman you're looking for.

Tonight, 11:00 p.m. Come to Café 25 at Yeonju.

I have to go. Something's come up.

What's this about?

How did No. 50's photo end up in Ko Haesoo's hands?

She said she received a tip-off that she'd find her here.

No. 50 is already dead.

Fifteen years ago, at that.

Find out who the source is and to what extent Ko Haesoo knows.

Yes, ma'am.

Who's that woman?

She came here with Ko Haesoo, but we lost her.

My apologies.

You can't enter the annex without registered fingerprints, can you?

We're checking the security system.

I'll find out right away.

It can't be.

That's impossible.

- He's here. - He's coming this way.

I'm Jang Dojin, CEO of Hatch.

I'd like to express my gratitude to you all who've traveled all this way

to meet Red the super chimpanzee.

Unfortunately, today's press conference is canceled due to internal issues.

My sincerest apologies.

Please be specific as to what's happened.

Are there any complications to Red's health?

Has there been a side effect?

We at Hatch will make our official statement shortly.

- Sir! - Damn it.

Mr. Jo! Mr. Jo!

I've sent the reporters away, but they'll catch on in no time.

- This will get out soon. - I know.

Once we find the culprit, the police can handle the rest.

There's probably nothing on surveillance since we were running a security check.

The schmuck who did this knows our security system well.

Not well enough.

The cameras by the lab are always on 24-7.

Here.

Stop. Zoom in on that guy.

That's our access key card.

See who logged in at that time.

EMPLOYEE INFORMATION GANG DONGHO

Got him.

You're looking rough. Did something happen?

Taera.

The girl in these photos, is this really me?

What?

Our house in France.

The French university I attended. Café Corsica where I worked, and--

Mom and Dad.

Am I really Hong Taera in these photos?

I think you definitely hurt your head. I'll contact Dr. Kang.

Enough already!

Taera.

You know I'm not Hong Taera. Don't call me that.

They called me No. 50.

You've always known.

Now you remember?

Didn't think it would take 15 years.

Yura.

You're right.

Your name is No. 50.

Not Hong Taera.

What-- What happened to me?

Why did I become Taera? Who is she?

Taera is my sister who died in a car accident.

Someone needed my sister's identity before we registered her death.

Fifteen years ago, I first met you at the hospital in France.

Your face was severely scarred and was clotted with blood.

Every inch of your body was injured.

It was a miracle you were alive.

- Miss? - Yes?

Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Okay.

You okay?

Who are you?

You remembered nothing, neither your name nor your age.

That's how you became Hong Taera.

I was compensated very well, so I turned you into Hong Taera.

Who paid you? Who told you to do this? Why?

I can't tell you that.

That was the agreement with my employer.

You fabricate my whole life, and that's your explanation?

Why are you angry?

Were you ever miserable this entire time?

Korea's most successful man by your side,

living in the finest townhouse. A life others only dream of.

Now you have an adorable daughter too.

You're saying after all this time,

your kindness, affection, and love for me were all an act?

You begrudgingly put on an act because you were paid to do so?

Why does any of that matter right now?

Yura.

This is just a dream, right?

Tell me that I'm only dreaming.

Yura, please.

Our relationship ends here.

My mission was to care for you until your memories were recovered.

Yura! Tell me. Tell me who put me through this bullshit.

Who?

If your memories have returned, now it's up to you to do the digging.

The one who set you up to become Pyo Jaehyun's wife.

My relationship with Jaehyun was a part of their plan?

Did you think it was pure coincidence that a man of his caliber married you?

You wouldn't have stood a chance if it weren't for me.

Why?

Why did you do it, if you knew who I was?

Jaehyun's done nothing wrong. Have you no shame?

You shouldn't be wasting time with me.

You need to protect your family you hold so dear

from the person who did this to you.

How would you feel if your family were put in danger?

It's me.

Hong Taera came by just now.

It seems…

she's regained all of her memory.

Our deal's over, right?

The boss decides when the deal is terminated.

You just do as you're told.

That's not what we agreed.

Taera's memories have returned. What else is there for me to do now?

I can't do this anymore.

I don't need your damn money. I have enough of my own.

We know about your affair with CEO Jang Dojin.

Don't tell me you're in love?

That wasn't part of the plan, was it?
