Mother... passed away.
Mom.
-= Episode 31 =-
You're here.
Why are you here? You aren't supposed to come here.
Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Did something happen?
No. Nothing is wrong. I'm sorry.
Did you tell him?
I did! I told him everything.
The news about mother's death.
But he ignored me again. I told him his mother passed away.
His own mother passed away!
Until the end, he never asked anything. Never asked anything!
Are you spreading the quilt?
A little later. Are you sleepy?
No. I'm not sleepy. Do you want to have Tae Beom check it out?
Check out if Kim Hong is really that Kim Hong.
Are you still worried?
I'm still worried. What if it's really him?
Of all the farms around, why does he have to buy our farm?
Doesn't this mean that he is deliberately buying our farm?
It can't be. Sister-in-law can't treat us like this.
What if sister-in-law... returns to Korea and wants to meet our Tae Hui?
What are you saying? She's the woman who had thrown her own child away.
She doesn't have the right to see Tae Hui.
Go and check on mother. She always gets depressed in thinking of this day to come.
You're not asleep yet?
It's still early. Hwang Sa Jjang... (Sa Jjang - Leader of the house)
Do you want me to look further into that man called Kim Hong?
I already called Tae Beom about him. I feel uneasy, too.
You did?
I turned on the heater a while ago, it's beginning to warm up now. If you can't sleep,
do you want me to buy you some candies?
No need. I don't feel like eating sweets.
Wasn't it around this time when my second son passed away?
It was around this time, that... I dreamt about Chang Yeun a few days ago.
Even in my dream, he didn't come and see me, when I was asking him to.
He asked me many times if Tae Hui lived well.
And asked about your health too, mother.
How did he look?
He still looked as handsome as ever, your second son, like before the accident happened.
He looked very peaceful, very healthy.
That's good. He has to... He has to be comfortable.
He let his parent buried him. He's such an unfilial son...
Of course he should be peaceful.
It's been over 26 years already.
Why does it still feel like it only happened yesterday?
Children bury their parents in the mountains, while parents bury their children in their hearts.
It doesn't seem right.
I still can't bury my child. I have yet to let go off my child.
My sister-in-law and your little brother have been working very hard.
In order to do some promotions, they left early in the morning today.
No. My youngest brother is not that difficult to deal with.
Right. Did your big brother tell Ye Jin about the child?
Yes, he already told her.
He should tell her. As the saying goes, "A bad matchmaker will be beaten".
If something goes wrong, he will be beaten.
He has already told her.
This is something that needs to be clarified. He needs to be very clear on the matter. Whether or not he gets beaten, is not the issue here.
Moreover, this also involves the future of Ye Jin.
Mother-in-law, my brother clearly told her.
Do you want me to call him and confirm it?
How is the steak today?
A bit tough.
Of course it's tough. It's not tenderloin but sirloin.
Su Yeong, what do you think?
Su Yeong.
What? Happy birthday, father.
Today's steak is all right. Don't mind me.
Drink a cup of wine. You're still not finished drinking?
What is the matter? Is something wrong? Why are you so absent-minded?
No, nothing is wrong. I was just thinking about something regarding the project, and my mind just wandered off.
I heard they changed the director recently. Work must have been tiring. You're pregnant, thus don't work too hard.
Yes. Don't worry. Let's eat.
They seem to have a problem going on between them.
You've also seen Su Yeong's expression.
What can be wrong? I think she's just too tired.
No matter how tired we are. How could we allow ourselves to be distracted during the birthday dinner of the father?
Is Su Yeong that kind of child?
She hasn't spoken a word to her husband during the entire meal.
And didn't even look at him. They surely are having a fight.
So what if they are fighting? They will make up overnight. Aren't they newly weds?
It looks like somebody has been sleeping in the study last night. There's a blanket in here.
This won't do. Starting today, we will only have one heater in this house.
You go and sleep over at Su Yeong's house today.
Hye Ryeong... Hye Ryeong...
Father.
Dad.
The heater on our floor is broken.
Can I sleep over tonight?
Your mother went to your aunt's place on the 2nd floor.
So I think it isn't good to go together. The study is empty, isn't it?
What?
Yes, it's okay, Father. You can use it.
Thank you.
I'm just going to watch TV here for a moment. Don't mind me.
Go in and sleep. Hurry. Go in.
You have to wake up early for work tomorrow.
Yes. Go in.
Dad, good night.
Good night.
Yes. Good night.
The children already went into their room. Are you satisfied now?
=You did well. You have to stay there until 2 a.m.=
Do I have to do this? Aren't you going a bit overboard?
Are you all right?
The heater at your parents' house is broken. Nothing could be done about that. Everything is fine.
Are you sleeping on the bed? Then I'll sleep on the floor.
No. No. I just want to check out the mattress.
It feels all right, not bad.
Here, let me do it.
Get another blanket if you're cold.
All right.
I'm tired today. I'll go ahead and sleep. Don't forget to turn off the light before you sleep.
All right. Good night.
My being here... makes it difficult for you to sleep?
A little bit.
Do you want to talk?
There's a bit of an MT atmosphere. Tell me about your first love.
Why all of a sudden?
Everyone who comes to MT will usually talk about similar matters.
How did you get to know Han Hye Ryeong?
The trauma has not been healed yet? Is that the reason why you don't dare to mention it again?
Is this a threat? Does this mean you won't stop unless I say something?
You intend to keep up this annoying act. Is that what you mean?
We got to know each other when we were on the bus. After finishing the part-time job,
on the last bus returning to the hostel, there were only myself and a female student.
Once on the bus, she put her head down and slept. However, when we reached the terminus, she became mad.
It seemed that she missed her bus stop. Then suddenly she walked towards me.
Do you know what she said to me?
"It is the last bus today, isn't it? Could you lend me some money for the taxi fare?"
It seems that you have some experience on it!
No comment on that. What else did she say?
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Oh, she liked you!
I also took a fancy to her as well.
Because even if she got on the bus, I would've just keep staring at her.
Actually it is like this. You both loved each other at first sight.
You've been in love with each other for 10 years?
Yes.
What do you like about her? Han Hye Ryeong.
Enough. End. I won't be lead by you any more.
Then... If you see Han Hye Ryeong, what will you do?
I'm only asking... Just in case she comes back.
That thought never crossed my mind.
And that kind of thing won't happen. Plus, she is already married.
Married? Han Hye Ryeong is already married?
Yes. And I'm married, too.
Are we really married?
Aren't we? Am I not Tae Beom?
I'm sleepy. Good night, Tae Beom.
Yes. It doesn't matter what happened before, right?
Don't worry Cha Su Yeong. Just worry about tomorrow.
Did something happen? When we were eating just now,
your expression didn't look good.
I don't know what is the matter,
but whenever you are vexed or having problems, just use me.
Try it out sometimes. You will discover that I am quite useful.
And also, just like father said,
you are pregnant. We don't want you to get too tired.
Then, if they ask you to give up the team leader position, just do it.
Although you probably don't like to face each other,
but as long as you turn around your head, I will always be at your side.
Sleep. Close your eyes. Good night.
Tae Sik, what do you plan to do in the future?
What can I do? I can only continue to live like this.
Have you tried to contact Ye Jin?
I did, but she doesn't take the call.
You didn't go find her?
If you were in her place, would you want to see me?
No matter if you will be seen, at least you have to try personally!
You make me sick and now you try to give me medicine?
I said I'll just live like this in the future.
How come they are still not up yet?
Here we come! Here we come!
Come, sit down.
I came! The second child is here.
Why are you here?
Hyeong. (Hyeong - older brother)
Grandma, father, mother. I'm here.
- You came? - Yes.
Quickly come and sit down. How can you be here?
Guk Su, greet him. He is big Ajussi. (Ajussi - older man, uncle)
Hello. I am Guk Su.
Good, Guk Su. I'm very happy to see you.
Today, when I look at you more closely, our Guk Su looks handsome.
You are exactly like your father.
Oh, why are you here?
Father asked me to find someone. So I came over here.
Furthermore, I would like to have the meal made by Mother. Oh chingma abutilon seed soup?
I did say that it was strange this morning. I just wanted to make chingma abutilon seed soup.
And so, sons who are away from home will surely come back.
Oh my. Oh my. Grandma hasn't eaten yet.
Oh my. If you are not careful, you might also swallow the spoon. Hurry and eat.
Thank you for the food!
Didn't Cha Su Yeong made food for you at home?
Didn't you hear what she said last time?
She doesn't know how to cook at all.
No. She will occasionally heat me some quick meals.
She is a so-called fast food expert.
There are all sorts of fast food nowadays.
Also a lot of delicacies, colorful, diverse...
I don't want to listen. I get more and more annoyed the more I listen. Shut up and eat.
Yes. you don't receive respect and that's it.
At least she has to cook for you.
Respectful? Grandma, you don't know the world today.
The current trend is that women have their own authority.
Really noisy. Shut up and eat your food.
How can I eat with my mouth closed? Mother is really...
It's extremely sour and mean.
I didn't know you would live like this.
I told you to check, did you check it yet?
Yes, that... How come Tae Hui is not there?
He said he is undercover. These past few days, he didn't even return home once.
It's okay. Even Grandma knows.
Is that so? I checked.
Your guess is correct father. Kim Hong is that Kim Hong.
What?
Have they returned to the country?
Yes. The whole family came back early this year.
What?
Did you use the farm's deposit to pay off the loan sharks?
Yes. All of the 80 million Won.
You don't have to worry in the future.
And also, this left over money...
Take this money and make something of yourself.
Why are you saying this so coldly?
You think I stayed by your side because of money?
I will wait for the rest of the money and use it to find father.
I will also pay off father's debts.
What?! Are you crazy?
I don't want to see, as the result of father's crimes,
other people suffer. I will return it to the others.
You still seem to be unclear. Legally, I am still your mother.
I also have authority at handling the farm's money.
I am no longer the old Baek Ja Eun.
I'm the person that raised ducks in the rural area, plowed and weeded the farm.
I wasn't even sleeping for a week to do pest control at the pear orchid.
So don't have any expectations of me. Hurry and leave.
Mother, are you all right?
Director Hwang, bring me to Ja Eun, I want to see her.
Why do you suddenly want to see Ja Eun?
Why do you think?
I want to bring the contract money and give the money to them.
It's no use. It's not like they don't know.
They are deliberately buying our farm.
Will they return it to us?
If they don't return it, can they still be considered human?
What is this place? They dare to come and touch our farm.
My precious son also grievously died because of them.
Our Tae Hui, also because of them, became a fatherless and motherless child.
He grew up with tears of blood.
Mother, Tae Sik's father said so already. He will send you there.
He is changing his clothes, wait for him to go together.
Why are you walking so fast? Mother, I see that for you growing as old as 100 years is no problem.
-=Daddy~ Wishing you a Happy Birthday! 2010.8.2 Daddy and Ja Eun=-
Aigoo. Mother, wait for me. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)
Ja Eun.
Ja Eun. You came?
Why are you here?
I want to take the birch tree with me.
It is good that you are here. Let's go inside the house. Let's go in.
No need, grandma. I'm just here to dig up the tree. What do you want?
Mother, are you all right?
Why are you so disrespectful to elders?
That's not it. It's because I was too sudden. I'm sorry, I was impatient.
I was just about to go see you. I have something I want to request of you.
A request for me?
Yes. This old lady who will soon die has something to request of you.
It'll be just a moment. Hurry. Hurry.
Ja Eun, the deposit money that Director Hwang put in your bank account,
and that is the farm's down payment.
Can you return those money to me?
We don't want to sell the farm to the movie company. Give the money back to them.
Even if we don't sell it to them,
there will be people who are willing to buy your farm, so I'm asking you this.
I also had another son, Tae Hui's biological father. My precious second son.
Tae Hui is my second son's own flesh and blood.
His father's older brother, Director Hwang, adopted him.
When Tae Hui was 4 years old, my second son got into a car accident and passed away.
After that, his mother left home.
2 years didn't even pass, yet and she already remarried.
Then she moved to the United States. I just heard they returned to South Korea.
After returning, the first thing they did is to buy our, no, to buy your farm.
The President of the movie company is the one she remarried to.
Ja Eun. I don't care who you sell this farm to,
just don't sell it to them. Don't sell it to them.
So just promise this old lady, okay?
How did my precious son leave the world?
Because our Tae Hui became a fatherless and motherless child,
he grew up in uncle's and aunt's hands.
Mother.
I don't have a lot of money in my hands, and I don't have much time left to live.
Although I don't know how to repay you,
but even if I'm dead, I won't forget.
I never thought that I would live this long as an elderly lady.
Sending off her own child first, that shameful life
has lasted for 26 years.
I, the old lady that doesn't like to face people, begs you.
Mother. Why are you saying these things to Ja Eun? It will not help at all.
Ja Eun.
Just because you said all these things, it won't solve anything. Might as well go seek out your siblings.
What younger siblings? Who is my younger sibling? Bleeding tears, pitiful child.
The world's most unique is our second child.
After such good years, because he died,
he couldn't see his baby son, couldn't hold him, couldn't call his name even once.
He inserted the counterfeit in middle of the finished products.
Deceiving customs like this has its limits.
Yes... that's right.
Are you still not quickly sobering up for me?
Hyeong is abnormal. We are not the same.
We are really going to die soon. We haven't slept in 3 days.
Don't you know Han Zang is a lizard?
If he disappears cutting off the tail, we will achieve nothing again.
Since it began, we need to seize their back trail.
Yes... that's right.
But what are the connections? Also investigate Hong Man.
Hey, Officer Jang.
What is it?
Tell me, what is the matter?
Take a nap. Why did you not sleep for the past 3 days?
Look at your face. It's so pale.
What exactly is the matter? Hurry and say it.
That... your mother, aunt, returned to South Korea.
Earlier this year, the whole family returned together.
Dad told me not to tell you first,
but I feel that I have to tell you this.
I hope you can go and meet your mother.
I didn't tell you this yet, right? Why I took your tuition money and ran away from home?
What are you talking about all of the sudden?
When you were in the third year of high school,
because of me, you weren't able to attend college.
Grandma always insisted that I should learn English.
So I just went to study.
But that happened long time ago.
In fact, at the time, I knew
in our family, the only person that can win over grandma is me.
I should have been fast and continue to fight on.
But... but I hid behind grandma.
Because of that, I still wanted to see her at least once.
At that time, she was living in Washington DC.
Your mother... why didn't you say anything? And then, did you see her?
I've seen her, or to be exact, only I saw her.
At one glance, I could tell she didn't recognize me.
She just walked right past me.
I waited for her for 3 hours.
I stole your tuition fee just to fly to such a far away place.
I was afraid she wouldn't recognize me, so I went right in front of her.
"Eh, there is a strange child standing there." She glanced at me,
didn't even hesitate for a second and just walked past me.
As a mother, she should at least recognize her own child, right?
At that time, I decided. When she is old and tries to come find me,
at that day's moment, I will do what she did to me and let her cry tears of blood.
I must say to her,
"Who are you? I don't know you, I'm sorry."
She has come. Has that moment finally arrived?
Yes. She should come to see me because I am her son.
If she is still alive, she will definitely come to see me, right?
Yes. It should be.
Probably so. Indeed there is payback for the teeth gritting and waiting.
15 years have passed. I am gritting my teeth, waiting for her.
Finally, the moment of revenge has arrived.
I'm looking forward to it.
Do you want a bigger size?
Okay. Give me another one.
This is a size bigger. Try this on.
This is a bit tight.
Is it?
Give me the red one.
The red one?
Yes. Hang on.
Try this. How is it?
Although it's better than the previous one. But let's try others.
All right.
The color is too dark. Change to another one.
What's this. It's too small. Give me a bigger one. Bigger one.
This is ugly, too.
The shoulder doesn't look good. Give me the first one.
What?
Thank for coming. Walk slowly.
Did you see it? It's my first time selling goods.
Congratulations to you, Director.
You have worked hard.
I'm too happy. I really can't believe it.
-=Su Yeong, do you want to have lunch together?=-
-=I don't want to.=-
What's this?
Nothing. It's nothing. Let's have lunch.
Wait for me, I have to send an email.
Come out quickly.
What is this?
Let's go and eat.
What do we eat today?
How about hotpot? Hotpot?
Let's go.
Fine, fine.
What is Director doing?
Director. You are very strong.
Is it because you exercise?
I often hear others say that I have great strength.
From the start of going to school, he was famous.
Sunbae won the national arm wrestling championship, too. (Sunbae - senior colleague, mentor)
Really?
Isn't that child's play? What 'arm wrestle'?
Come. Everyone prepare. Start.
Relax a little.
That's really...
Why are you using so much strength? Relax a little. Again. Prepare.
Begin.
Director! Director!
Hwang Tae Beom, Hwang Tae Beom...
Director! Hwang Tae Beom!
You do know Koreans have 3 rounds, 2 wins, right?
Fine. Playing just like this is boring. The loser has to buy lunch, how about it?
Fine.
Menu?
Barbecue.
Fine.
Yeah, they're ready.
Wait...
Ready... start!
Hwang Tae Beom. Hwang Tae Beom. Hwang Tae Beom.
Come. Final round. It's barbecue. Barbecue! Ready. Start.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Why are you slamming your wallet?
Thanks to you, I ate very well.
Is it because you used a lot of money? Our director is almighty!
Even with a broken wrist, he would still be that strong.
Where are you trying to kick me to?
I am Hwang Tae Beom. Hello?
=I have something I want to report about. It's regarding Daewhan Group's Chairman Yung Su Man.=
Daewhan Group's Chairman Yung Su Man?!
Chairman Yung Su Man?!
Director's first gain, Congratulations!
Cheers! Thank you, Tae Pil. If only Ye Jung came along, too.
You just drink as much as you want.
Fine.
You've seen the receipt so many times. Are you really that happy?
Yes. Very happy. Really, really, really happy. I could die.
I never thought I would be able to sell products to others.
Other people would listen to what I say, believe what I say, I never dared to imagine.
If I'm not careful, people would trick me. It made me feel uneasy.
So I was afraid to return to the United States. I was really scared.
But I've done it, thought it has only been once,
to me, that is already excellent.
Of course. It's very excellent. Not just anyone could have done it.
Studying seems to have an effect.
So I've decided that from today on, I will memorize for 3 hours before sleeping.
You are getting old, so don't tire yourself too much.
The gentleman we saw the other day, who is he?
The music is really nice here. Wow. Encore! Encore!
Encore. Encore.
Pil?
You are Pil, right. Pil. When did you return home?
Have you finished your MBA? Why didn't you tell me, Pil?
Hui Yeon... That...
Let's go outside. Since we met again, let's celebrate. Let's go get a drink.
Pil...
I am here with my girlfriend, you know.
Pil, is it true? No, it cannot be. You thought you can cheat me? Pil...
Yes it is true. That is my girlfriend.
~ I'm all right. Don't pity me. ~
~ I'm all right. I'm all right. Don't think you are my all. ~
~ No matter how weak or small I look, I am all right. Don't pity me. ~
Don't tell me it's that ajumma. (Ajumma - older woman, aunt)
Tae Pil.
Tae Pil. Thank you!
~ Don't look at me like that. Don't think you are my all. ~
Is this woman really your girlfriend?
~ I am all right. ~
Last time about the person in that photo. Do you still want to know?
Who is it?
The person that gave birth to me. The woman in the photo.
Ajussi.
I have come.
Are you all right?
Let's talk, Ajussi.
Can I ask you why you came to find me that day?
Move aside.
I heard. Ajussi's mother returned home.
You also heard the news about your mother. So that day...
Who said that? Who told that kind of things to you?! Is it Kim Jae Ha?
No. It's not him. Granny said that. That Bo Ja ajumma is your elder aunt.
Why do you have an expression like that? Are you scared of me?
You should be afraid of me, they call me Dog Tae Hui.
Didn't you say that even if we met on the road, there was no need to greet each other?
Didn't you say you don't like to see me? So I followed what you said and did what you want.
Why did you come find me? Are you joking? You want to play with me?
Do you want me to play with you once?
Don't play around Baek Ja Eun. Compared to you, I am more mature than you and I am a man.
What is this place that you dare to come without any fear and try to provoke me?
Go see her, ajussi.
Shut up.
This kind of feelings can't disappear within a day.
You can't control yourself. And also can't break it. You can't have it with just anyone.
And no matter how much you want to avoid it, deny it, it can't disappear.
Even if you can't forgive in death, after so many years of hating,
you still miss and want to see.
I told you to shut up.
But she is your mother.
Baek Ja Eun!
Yes, yes it's true. The construction will start this month.
Today I want to go to see farm. Father, you don't have to come and see it.
Yes. I'll call you again. Okay.
You came?
You came quite early.
Do you think you can concentrate today?
Thank you for that day.
Have a seat. There isn't much time left. So let's do our best to concentrate as much as possible.
Before we start our meeting, may I ask you one thing?
Just one thing.
Is it true that Kim Hong is the president of Good Film? Are you the one who purchased the Ojakgyo Farm?
Yes that is true. Our company purchased the Ojakgyo Farm. How did you know that?
You're really taking down the farm to build the amusement park?
Ojagkyo Farm has a background history of "Five Virtues Family". I lived there before.
Is that so? The background of the "Five Virtues Family" was at Ojagkyo Farm?
It is really amazing! Also such a marriage, it is fate, isn't it?
So you look like you were concerned about the theme park. I think there's a draft of plan for the theme park.
Here it is. How is it? Doesn't it look good?
Guk Su.
How do you do.
Why are you outside when it's cold?
I'm waiting for my father.
Father?
I want to go to see my father.
You can't Gu Suk. You father works at the hospital.
Let's go to the hospital. I want to see my father.
Why are you here?
Oh, you all are in the middle of lunch. I'm sorry.
I was just passing by, so I thought I should look around the farm.
Looks like I lack in manners.
Who is he?
That...
Who is it?
He is Kim Hong's son.
Wha-what? Kim Hong's son?
My name is Kim Jae Ha, Grandma.
Who asked you to come? Is it your mother or your father?
Mother, calm down.
Out of all places, you still dare to come here. Get out quickly!
Mother.
Let go! Leave now. I tell you to leave. Leave from our house immediately!
Come out for a moment.
I didn't come to see you Officer Hwang. I came to see the farm.
Kim Jae Ha!
Tae Hui, how do you know this people? How do you know him?
By any chance, did you meet your mother without me knowing it?
Did you meet her?
Is that so? Answer me. Have you met your mother?!
I'll come again next time.
Grandma, why do you hate it so much if I want to see mother?
What?
Why do you hate her so much?
A 6 years old kid wants to see his mother. It's a normal matter.
If you don't miss her, then one day when your mother suddenly disappear,
the situation would become abnormal.
So did you see her again?
Where did mother go? Why didn't mother come to see me?
If I was able to say it out,
possibly a day with the belief like today wouldn't happened.
Why didn't you let me to see her?
Answer me. Did you meet her?
I haven't met her, but I want to meet her.
I really want to see her. Can't I, grandma?
You can't.
Tae Hui.
Why can't I? Why can't I?
You absolutely can't. Until the sand goes into my eyes, you can't!
Then, how long could it take? Could it be that you will live until you're 100 years old?
What? What did you say? Say it again. What did you say?
Don't worry, grandma. That won't happen. She is already dead.
She already passed away.
