Episode 4
What's going on there?
Move!
(My Beloved Eldest)
He's still not answering?
Hey, come here!
We have a problem!
Clear that!
I wonder what's wrong.
Leave the lunch here.
I'll give it to your father.
You have some too, okay?
Thank you.
Dad, I couldn't get a hold of you.
I left your lunch at the security office,
so enjoy.
Mom and dad never got to travel abroad,
let alone go hiking.
What the heck.
I have a job now.
Food's ready.
Okay. Thank you.
Here's your tofu with kimchi.
Enjoy.
I told the wretch to cut up the scallions,
but she's run away.
One spicy sea snails.
Ms. Lee Midal,
I got the job at Punggildang.
You always thought so little of me.
Now what will you do?
Be nice to me from now on.
Hello?
This is Hanguk Hospital.
Are you Mr. Oh Yeongho's family?
Yes.
What?
Okay.
I'll be right there.
Oh, no.
Please stop the bus!
Sir, please stop the bus!
Have you
gotten any strange calls recently?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
I was wondering if anyone's been
mentioning Paran to scam you again.
We listed your phone number on the flier,
so I haven't been getting any calls.
I see.
Why? Did someone contact you?
No.
I was just worried
about con artists.
Didn't you say you put the hairpin in the urn?
But I think this is that hairpin.
Ms. Bae, why don't you look it over upstairs?
(Missing Child)
How much does he know?
Mr. Oh Yeongho. Mr. Oh Yeongho.
- Prep for surgery. / - Yes, doctor.
Ms. Kim Hyeonsuk
passed away at 16:20.
Mom! Mom!
Please save my mom, doctor!
- Mom! / - Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
- Mom! Mom! / - Mom, wake up.
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Excuse me.
Where's my dad?
Dad!
What's wrong, dad?
Dad. Wake up, dad.
What's wrong, dad?
Please step back.
Are you family?
He's my dad.
He has to go into surgery right away,
so read this,
and sign the consent form.
No adults?
Your mother isn't here?
I'm the daughter.
I'm his daughter.
Dad, I've been worried about money
since I was a junior in high school.
You know very well that
we have Gaeul's college tuition
to worry about and that mom's always
stressed about making the rent for the pub.
Do you think I enjoy scrubbing
grill pans and smelling meat all day?
It's hard,
but I do it.
Don't worry.
You'll find a great job.
I'm here if you want to talk.
You know I'm always on your side, right?
Good night.
I'm sorry, dad.
I'm so sorry.
- Bom. / - Yeongho.
- Bom! / - Yeongho.
Bom, Bom...
Mom, dad is...
Where's you dad? Where is he?
He's in surgery.
What happened?
I don't know.
There was an accident at the construction site.
What kind of an accident?
Why is he in surgery?
He was perfectly fine this morning.
Calm down, Midal.
Why yell at Bom about it?
Why take it out on her?
Doctor.
Is the surgery over?
My dad's fine, right?
His breathing and blood pressure aren't stable,
so we had to stop the surgery.
We'll have to see,
but please brace yourselves.
Midal...
What is he saying?
Midal, please focus.
It's bad enough he got into an accident,
but he can't be operated on?
He can't be fixed?
What happened that
you had to stop the surgery?
Save my husband! Save him!
Stop it, mom.
Midal, please calm down.
How can I calm down?
They turned
my husband into a corpse.
Save him! Save him!
Why did you
take him in there when you can't save him?
Please, mom.
Please stop.
You did sign the consent form.
Excuse us.
Consent form?
Who signed it?
I signed it before you got here.
Who are you to sign the consent form?
Who are you to
play god with your father's life?
Leave Bom alone.
Midal.
No...
Midal! Midal! Midal...
You kept him from going places in life,
and now you finally kill him.
How can you say that, Midal?
Yeongho...
What about our back pay then?
What can they do?
There's no one to ask.
Good grief. Let's go.
How can she spend our money
and then croak like this?
Dad.
I haven't even gotten
the interest payments yet!
Who's the head of this family?
Darn it.
Are you Ms. Kim's kids?
What is this regarding?
Can't you figure it out?
You're the eldest, right?
Please don't do this.
Why don't we
talk outside?
We're not going anywhere.
I'll cut to the chase.
Sign this.
We need your signature
if we're to get our principal back at least.
Turns out she's been doing business on debt.
Here. Here.
That's enough!
How can you do this to the poor kids?
You stay out of this.
We did our research.
You don't even have a marriage license.
You were her live-in pimp.
Your life can go awry
if you don't repay your mom's debt.
Come on. Sign it.
Hurry up and sign this.
Why are you being like this?
He got into this accident on the job, so
why hasn't anyone come from the company?
Are they thinking of
leaving us high and dry?
We'll sort that out later.
Are you kidding me?
Do you know how expensive this hospital is?
Who knows how long he'll be in a coma?
How will we pay for this?
We need money
to save your father.
That's enough.
The president
of the company
was in the accident too.
What do we care?
I told you to go and get us blankets.
I was just about to go.
This is it, right?
The dead is no more,
but the living must live.
I have to find out how they'll compensate us.
The family's not doing too well.
Why is it so empty here?
Good grief.
They lost their mother and wife.
They're in no better shape than us.
Hang on.
Maybe this is a bad time.
Okay.
I'll come back later.
This is it.
Wow. Punggildang's been doing well.
The house is even grander now.
They got a new front gate.
What do I say in there?
How do I bring it up?
Why couldn't he just put up with her?
Why leave this nice house and
end up like that?
Aran.
It's been so long, my child.
Did you miss me?
I missed you so much that it almost killed me.
Why are you here?
Let's go in.
We'll talk inside.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
My legs are about to buckle
from standing out there forever.
Housekeeper, bring me water.
What are you doing?
Good grief.
Didn't you miss your dear grandma?
You're so heartless.
Why haven't you called?
I still pray every day for
your health and success.
Please go before mom gets home.
You know it won't be pleasant.
I'm not going anywhere.
I came all this way to see
you and my daughter-in-law.
Did dad send you here
to have mom sign the divorce papers?
What are you talking about?
Divorce?
If that's what you're here for,
please don't worry and go.
What kind of ridiculous jibberish is that?
You and dad are so alike.
You remember what you said
to mom when dad left?
You said
a woman who had lost her child
would kill her husband as well.
I was only six years old,
but I remember it like it was yesterday.
I never said anything like that.
Oh, right.
I remembered that you, my sweetheart,
love egg rolls,
so I got 10 dozen eggs for you.
Oh, no. Oh, my goodness.
Aran!
Where are you going?
Housekeeper!
Come clean this up!
This used to be my room.
She's turned it into her lair.
(Application for Divorce)
Oh, my goodness. It's true.
That idiot.
How can he ask for a divorce at a time like this?
He should be doing a runner even if
Gukhui begged for it.
What a dimwit.
Now that the second wife
is done for, he should try to move back in here.
Aran's grandmother is here.
Huh? Maybe she left.
Oh, no. What do I do?
I might end up
doing more damage than good.
What am I going to do?
Oh, my goodness.
How will I get out?
Hello, Chairman Jang.
Yes. The China deal is in negotiations.
Mr. An's in talks with another buyer.
Okay.
My bladder's about to burst.
I really have to go.
Good heavens. You'll be the death of me.
Oh, lord. I'm dying.
Okay. Sure.
Heartless wretch.
Why didn't you leave the room?
Did you do it on purpose because
you knew I was hiding?
Mother...
It's because you're this heartless that
my son couldn't take it anymore and left.
And now you want a divorce?
After all these years?
Good grief.
You should beg him to
come back to you, not divorce him.
No can do!
Mother, what are you doing here?
Divorce is not an option!
Never.
Not over my dead body will you
go through with that nonsense.
Please go, mother.
You chase your mother-in-law out
without batting an eye?
You're something else.
You were this heartless to your husband,
so why would your child come back to you?
Mother.
If divorce were that easy,
you'd be divorced already.
A couple goes through
their ups and downs.
Is a short 20-year separation
cause for divorce?
And you call yourself a good wife?
Please leave.
I'm not leaving.
I'm not leaving!
The office is the only place I can run away to.
Leave it. I'll do it.
Get out of my way.
Do you remember this?
We used to have this a lot in New York.
This cheers you up
when you're down.
Wow. It tastes exactly the same.
Have some.
I'm in no mood for your silliness.
Let's make up, okay?
Don't you have any pride?
That's not important between us.
I thought about it, and you're right.
Let's pursue the original buyer.
You said you had met him, right?
I'll help you.
No. I don't need your help.
Let's do this together.
Don't stay angry.
That's not my only problem, okay?
Is something wrong?
I'm about to lose it.
I looked into the number you gave me.
Oh Yeongho works at Haneulae Construction
and lives in Hapjeong-dong.
I texted you his address.
What do you want?
Pardon?
Are you here to see someone?
No, no.
I must have the wrong address.
I pray that my son marries Aran
and that my husband submits to my authority.
I ask that all the energy of the cosmos
finds its way to the center of my being
so that I can reign supreme in this household.
Oh, my goodness. My son is home.
Were you working out?
This isn't just a workout.
I was meditating,
praying for you and our family.
Thank you.
Hey, bring Aran over tomorrow.
Pardon?
Why?
What do you mean why?
She needs to answer to what she did.
Um...
Aran has a lot on her plate at work.
You're always making excuses for her,
which is why this happened.
You should've taken the upper hand
to be with a strong-willed girl like her.
She disrespects you because
you always let her do as she pleases.
Aran doesn't disrespect me.
Oh, wow.
Are you defending her again?
Aran's out of control
because of poor parenting.
Look.
Her father had an affair and left...
Mom,
how can you say that?
Why are you raising your voice at me?
Did I make up a lie?
Aran's as best as a person gets.
She may act cold and aloof,
but she's
so caring and loving inside.
Please don't be like this
and try to see the positive in Aran
and be nice to her.
Is my docile sweetheart of a son
being defiant?
I lost my husband to Ms. Bae,
and now I'm losing my son to her daughter.
Stop it, mom.
Why are you being so unreasonable?
It's so unfair. Woe is me.
Gilsu.
Gilsu, just look.
You wouldn't believe what Taeho said.
Gilsu.
I'm settling the score
with Ms. Bae tomorrow.
How can they do this to my son
and not even call to apologize?
They think they're so much better than us.
I've made up my mind to make
Aran get down on her knees and apologize.
Now Taeho won't listen to me either.
He's learned that from you.
Be quiet, will you?
My goodness, Gilsu.
Do you know
how vulgar you sound when you get like this?
I'm so sick and tired of it.
There's nothing I want more than to go without
your nagging for just one day.
What did you just say?
How can you talk to me like that?
And do you think you're a great catch?
Darn it. This is so upsetting.
Growing old is sad enough,
but my husband demeans me as well.
This is so unfair.
Your poor hands, dad.
They're scratched and calloused all over.
All you ever did was work.
Wake up, dad.
I got a job at Punggildang.
I can pamper you now.
Dad, wear this and go hiking with mom.
That's enough.
I'm distraught as it is,
so stop babbling.
I just feel so sorry for dad.
Don't you feel sorry for me?
I can't stand the sight of you.
Go and get me some water.
(Promissory Note)
(Memorandum of Payment)
Mom...
What am I going to do?
Jesus, Buddha,
and all the gods in the universe,
please save my father.
After a lifetime of hardship, he was just about
to get a breather
because his daughter got a job.
Dad's a very good man, who's never said
or done
anything bad to anyone.
If you save my dad,
I'll be 10 times, 100 times better.
Mom...
Hang in there.
Mom, this is it.
(Late Kim Hyeonsuk)
The poor thing.
What a short, sorry life she had.
What an unfortunate soul.
My son
was finally going to get a divorce
and marry her, but she dies
after living half of her life as a concubine.
Mom,
be quiet!
How can you call her a concubine?
- What else is she? / - Let's go.
Geez.
Mom...
I'm so sorry, Jia.
Where are you going, mom?
Are you out of your mind?
Come here.
Look at the other families.
The husband doesn't greet mourners.
Geez, mom...
It goes against tradition.
And technically, you're not even her husband,
so you should take a back seat.
Don't be like this, mom.
Don't you think you're going too far?
If you keep this up, you'll be stuck
with your second wife's debt.
So be prudent, okay?
You need to focus.
How can you be so cruel?
This is heaven's will.
But I had the foresight
to go to your first wife
to lay the groundwork.
What in the world did you do?
I was just watching out for you.
I'll take all the blame,
so you just do as I say.
Please go
if you plan to keep this up.
That sorry sap.
This is Mr. Oh Yeongho's phone.
Um... Is Mr. Oh Yeongho unavailable?
Are you a friend?
Dad's at the hospital right now.
Hospital?
He got into an accident at work.
He's hurt.
He can't come to the phone right now.
No, it's not that.
He's still unconscious.
Keep it short, will you?
Take it outside.
Okay.
You poor thing.
How did you let this happen to you?
Don't worry about the medical bills
or the kids.
Just open your eyes.
You spent your whole life
worrying about money
and putting up with my nagging.
If you die like this,
you'll make me a bad person.
Honey.
Bom.
Huh? Dad.
Why are you sleeping out here?
Have you eaten?
Are you okay, dad?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
All I've ever done is cause you grief.
You know I love you a lot, don't you?
Of course I do.
I'll always be by your side
no matter what, when, or where.
Dad... Dad...
Dad.
Are you awake?
Are you okay?
Dad.
Save your strength. Don't speak.
I know what you want to say.
Oh, right.
I got the job at Punggildang.
Isn't that great?
I got you a gift...
I'll pamper you from now on.
Hang in there, dad.
Dad.
What's wrong, dad?
Dad!
Nurse! Nurse!
Mr. Oh Yeongho in room 602.
Arrest. Arrest.
Dad.
No, dad!
Excuse me.
Mr. Oh Yeongho. Mr. Oh Yeongho.
No pupillary response.
Arrest...
1, 2, 3, 4.
Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
No, dad!
