Be Strong, Geum-soon
I am not lonely, because I have a dream
And I won't give up
< Episode 76> Geum-soon.
Answer it.
OK.
Hello?
Granny.
What? Uncle?
They found him. He's at the police station.
What should we do?
This is what the nightmares were about.
Which police station?
I see.
Are you OK? Feeling dizzy or anything?
I'm fine. Can you come get Hwee-sung?
I'll be right there. I'm in the neighborhood.
OK, bye.
Something came up?
Yes. It's urgent.
I'm sorry, but I have to go.
You look worried. You should go.
Thank you.
Did you want to talk about something urgent?
No.
I'm sorry. I'll call you later.
OK.
See you.
Bye.
Your mother-in-law's been calling you. It's urgent.
Really?
What could it be?
Don't waste time. Use my cell phone.
Thanks.
Hello? Geum-ah?
- What's...? - Dad's been arrested.
What should we do now?
When did they call?
So... which police station?
Hello. I'm here to visit Mrs. Kim Young-ok.
- She's getting dialyzed. - She is?
Doctor.
- Hello. - Hi.
Where's your father?
I don't know. He turned his phone off.
She's still unconscious? She's never been this bad.
She was getting better, so we thought she'd wake soon.
How's her BP?
Systolic is down to 60. I can't measure the diastolic.
Inject some dopamine.
Yes, sir.
Doctor.
Oh no. Turn the machine off!
What's wrong? What's going on?
TC.
TC, now!
Don't worry.
Hurry.
1 00 joules. Clear.
1 00 joules.
Gosh...
Doctor.
Yes.
She's giving us a hard time.
Is she OK now?
Yes.
Please...
wake up now.
I...
I'm sorry.
I didn't hate you.
I hated dad...
for loving you.
And I hated my mom... for leaving me.
Don't do this.
What will I do without you?
What about my dad?
I can't lose another mom.
He can't lose another wife.
Mom.
It was all my fault. I'm begging you.
Please wake up.
Please.
Mom.
Please wake up.
- Oh. - Granny.
Hello there.
- Let's go. - OK. See you.
No, I'll go with you. Wait for me.
What for?
Why don't you stay and...
No, I have to go too. I don't mind at all.
Hwee-sung, let's go.
Auntie will meet us there? How is uncle?
The idiot.
He just made my day by getting arrested.
Let me out here.
- Mom. - Auntie.
What now? What'll happen to him?
How do I know? You must be happy.
You've been dying to see him.
Mom.
How can you say that at a time like this?
What's your problem?
Don't.
Why are you here? You want to show Hwee-sung off?
Stop it.
Do you know how huge the debt is? He owes people over $1 00,000.
What did you just say? He owes that much money?
He owes much more, but the lawsuit's for $1 00,000.
That's only because my relatives didn't sue.
It could've been even worse.
Let's go inside. Come on.
Let's go.
(Police station)
Uncle.
Dad.
Mother.
Honey.
Geum-ah.
- Hi, Geum-soon. - Dad.
Where were you? Why didn't you call?
I should have. I'm sorry about that.
How are you?
- I hope you're not sick. - I'm fine.
You don't look fine. You look terrible.
I'm just a bit scruffy.
Geum-ah, you're all grown up.
You look terrible.
I just need a bath.
People on the run don't have that luxury.
Mother.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
I wanted to call you, but I just couldn't...
You've grown up too, Geum-soon.
Who's that? You have a kid?
Yes.
You're a mother now.
Is it a boy or a girl?
A boy.
Right, I think someone told me.
Get lost.
- Get lost. - Granny.
- I hate you.
How dare you smile at us at a time like this.
- Granny. - Get lost. I hate you.
Let's just kill ourselves.
Granny, stop this.
You deserve to die.
You put so many people through hell.
- Granny. - Stop it.
He'll feel even worse than you do.
Don't stop her.
Mom, hit me all you want. I feel much better for it. Hit me.
You jerk.
- Granny. - Granny.
Stop it. You should watch your blood pressure.
Granny.
Let me go right now!
3 people including Kim Jin-goo sued him.
They sued him for fraud, so a warrant will be issued.
What happens after that?
He'll be tried and sent to jail.
For how long?
$100,000... About 1 to 2 years.
That's if he tried to pay them back. If not, it can become 3.
He didn't keep his word.
Is there nothing we can do to keep him out of jail?
Try to settle.
And prove that he tried to pay them back.
He might get away with a fine.
Do we have to pay them to settle?
Of course. It's their money they want.
Is there no other way?
No.
Honey.
Geum-ah.
Come here.
Mom.
I'll be fine.
Take my mom home.
There's nothing you can do to help me.
I'm fine.
I'll pay for what I did.
I'm actually glad I got caught.
I've been scared to death.
I never got a good night's sleep.
I jumped whenever I saw a man in uniform.
It was terrible.
Don't glare at me.
Don't worry. I really am glad I got caught.
Who's worried?
I don't care what they do to a moron like you.
You're glad they caught you?
Then why did you run?
And why call us now?
Why didn't you wait till you got out of jail?!
Or better still, you shouldn't have let them get you!
I guess I should have.
I can't believe I married you...
Geum-ah, ma'am, let's go.
You too, Geum-soon.
- You heard me. - Mom.
Honey, wait.
Come here.
Here.
It's our 25th wedding anniversary.
Take it.
I wanted to get you one.
Take it.
Go on.
Take it with you.
I hope it fits. Have your fingers swollen since?
You've always wanted a pearl ring.
What?
It's not a fake, it's for real.
You moron...
- You moron. - Honey. Honey...
I hate you. You're such a loser...
Mom, dad...
Eun-joo.
Mom. Are you OK?
How do you feel?
You pulled through. I was afraid you wouldn't.
Thanks so much.
Thank you, mom.
Dr. Jang's wife regained consciousness.
She did? Is she in the ward?
Jae-hee.
You must be relieved.
I was so scared she'd never wake up.
I know. So was I.
Where's your father?
I don't know. His cell phone... Dad.
She's awake?
She just fell asleep.
Where were you?
Her condition worsened earlier.
They did CPR on her during her session.
Where on earth were you?
You shouldn't leave her alone.
I thought she'd die. I was so scared.
Don't say that. She won't die.
You think I'll let her?
I'll do whatever it takes to cure her.
Don't worry. She'll get better now that she's conscious.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
What'll you do? Isn't it your day off?
It is.
I'll call Mrs. Oh first. She told me to.
Are you still on duty?
Yes.
I should go. Bye.
Bye.
Oh Mi-ja speaking.
Eun-joo, how's your mother?
That's great news. I'm so happy for you all.
Of course.
I'm at home.
Can you come over if you're free? I have something to say.
Yes. OK, see you.
I'm home.
I'm hungry, let's have dinner.
What's wrong? You look depressed.
I feel sad. I feel so empty. I've lost my purpose in life.
Why? What now?
What, you thought I had a purpose?
My husband quit his job without me knowing...
Didn't we put that behind us?
We did, but it still upsets me.
And what?
My daughters-in-law are so busy, they're never at home.
One son lives for his new wife.
You've been unemployed for what seems like forever.
Come on, trust me. I'll become...
Be quiet. You're still unemployed.
Call Geum-soon.
She's still out when she doesn't have a job to keep.
I guess she's looking for anotherjob.
You have reached the voicemail of...
Her phone's off.
- Let's wait for the rice. - OK.
Thanks, girls. Don't you have to go, Geum-soon?
I do.
I don't think I can wait until the rice cooks.
- Stay for dinner. - I have to go.
Go if you have to.
Our sitting around won't do anything.
We're helpless. It's such a huge amount.
He has to pay for it.
Auntie. Why don't we pay a visit to the creditors?
If they were to let him go like that, they wouldn't have sued at all.
But they lose out too if he goes to jail.
Wouldn't they rather let him work and pay them back?
If we show them how committed we are...
Yes, mom.
Let's at least try. We'll all do what we can.
It's useless.
You don't know how ruthless Kim Jin-goo is.
He won't drop the charges until he has the money.
Go home, Geum-soon. Or your mother-in-law will get upset.
OK.
Don't skip dinner. You need the energy.
And take your medicine.
I will, you just go home.
I'll get Hwee-sung.
Are you tired?
Of course I am. First a flood, now the walls...
I really wanted to fire Mr. Park today.
They'll work around the clock?
Yes.
Forget the losses. I just want to finish on time.
You will. Don't worry. Let's go.
I wish I could have a hot bath.
Why don't you?
Your bathroom doesn't have a bathtub.
There's a 24-hour sauna.
Tae-wan is home. Why don't we have dinner?
The others might be late.
Let me finish this first.
We're home.
- We're home. - Hello, father.
Hi, welcome home.
- Mom. - Welcome home.
Thanks.
Sung-ran, go cook dinner. We're hungry.
OK.
Ma'am.
If you're hungry, we can just order takeout.
What do you think, sir?
We can order Chinese food. Or whatever you want.
Shall we? I don't mind. Do you, honey?
I just can't believe you said that.
Why do you hate cooking so much?
Is cooking that hard?
Or Your Highness can't set foot in the kitchen?
Will it kill you?
I just don't understand.
You mention takeout without even trying to cook?
I had a bad day at work, so...
Even then.
Why can't we order takeout every once in a while?
Yes, we can, every once in a while.
I'm not saying no to that.
What upsets me is your attitude.
Your lofty attitude.
Ma'am.
Do you think I have to do the housework regardless of what I did all day?
I wasn't out enjoying myself. I worked.
Just like your son. And I run my company too.
That's all I can think of.
Even when I come home.
My team is working around the clock.
This is the reality, and so I suggested we compromise.
I really need you to work with me.
I really don't understand you.
What?
I didn't get married to cook. I got married to be happy.
But if you keep demanding I do something I can't...
it'll make me unhappy.
I guess I can get used to being sad
I can smile my tears away
I'll pretend it didn't happen
I'll try to forget it
The memories will fade away
