Story Guide

Episode 1

Hannah and her husband are ready to retire with 30 million in the company account — but who inherits the business? One son is biological, one is adopted, and the choice isn't obvious. Then Hannah gets an idea: a test. They'll call both sons and claim the company went bankrupt and that her husband suffered a stroke, needing 30,000 in medical fees. Whoever pays gets everything. Her husband wonders how to fake a stroke. "You don't have to act it well — just lie there," she tells him. "I'll handle the rest." The first call goes to Thomas.

Episode 2

The phone rings and Hannah delivers the news: your father is in the hospital, he had a stroke, come home quickly. On the other end, panic turns to calculation. If the father is paralyzed, someone has to take over the company — and Thomas's wife is already thinking about inheritance. She tells him to dress well, grab the high-neck shirt they bought his father and her cashmere scarf for his mother. "If anything happens to your dad, you're the biological son — the property is yours," she urges. "Don't let that adopted son Theo grab it." They rush back.

Episode 3

Back home, Hannah's husband is relieved — the biological son showed up, while the adopted one is nowhere to be seen. Thomas and his wife promise to shoulder any burden. Then Hannah says it: the family is bankrupt. The company, the factory, the house — all gone. And the medical fees? She asks if they can provide 30,000 for his father's treatment. The warmth evaporates instantly. "So that's why you called us back — for money?" They refuse outright, calling it a bottomless pit: today 30,000, tomorrow 50,000. Not a cent.

Episode 4

Hannah pleads — just 30,000, or her husband may never stand again. She reminds Thomas they've handed him money for years, hundreds of thousands at a time. But Thomas lists his 12,000 mortgage and monthly expenses; he can't afford it. His wife refuses to sell the new car they bought with 300,000 from his parents — what would the relatives say? She's already paid a deposit on a beauty treatment. When Hannah asks Thomas to treat it as a loan, his wife snaps: they're bankrupt — how would they ever repay it?

Episode 5

Thomas and his wife say the car can't be sold and suggest asking other relatives. Then a phone call lands: a beauty salon reminds Thomas's wife her 88,000 annual membership is due. Without hesitation, she renews it on the spot. Hannah is stunned — no 30,000 to save his father, but 88,000 for beauty treatments without blinking. "Is your face worth more than your father's life?" Thomas's wife shrugs it off: he's only paralyzed, not terminally ill, and Hannah can care for him at home. Hannah tells them to leave — and never come back.

Episode 6

Hannah's husband is shaken: they raised their biological son for 35 years — why won't he save him? Hannah admits she wonders if they pushed too hard, but the 88,000 membership proves the money exists; Thomas simply doesn't think his parents are worth it. She decides to give him one more chance. They head to the villa they bought for his marriage, now that the old house is sealed by the bank. Inside, Thomas's wife panics: if they take the parents in, they'll never leave — and the neighbors are watching.

Episode 7

Hannah and her husband stand at the villa door, asking only for a few days until they find somewhere to stay. Neighbors recognize them — isn't that Thomas's parents, and he's a well-paid manager at a big group? Why is the door shut on them? Thomas's wife worries the arriving business partner will see the scene. Thomas finally comes out, but not to help: he complains his parents smell, and his wife claims they might carry viruses that could harm their small child. Hannah protests — they're his parents, not a virus.

Episode 8

Thomas insists the house is too small, then suggests they go to Theo — "you raised him for decades, it's his turn to show gratitude." Hannah reminds him she's his biological mother. But Thomas only cares about appearances: the partner from the group is arriving in half an hour, and if he sees them like this, the deal could collapse. "Don't embarrass me — and don't come begging again." Hannah's verdict: 35 years, and they raised an ungrateful son. So they'll take back everything he gained from them — starting with the group's resources and that partnership.
