[Episode 12]
You need something with more juice.
Swing by more often. At least until the Jos get their upgrade.
Sir.
Did you hear from the police?
I'll stop in later.
Would you like a drink?
No thank you.
So it has to be activated every time it's closed?
Exactly.
Kind of a pain.
But not when you're here.
May I ask who this is?
The lady of the house.
You're installing more cameras?
Yes.
She's lovely.
Yes.
She and Mr. Jo are a perfect match.
Your response time is five minutes?
Yes, if a man is in the area.
Will you catch him?
It depends on the CCTV.
Pardon me.
May I ask her name?
For the report.
Soh Eunha.
Soh Eunha?
Yes.
Thank you.
Of course.
Hello.
Is she in?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Yes?
Ma’am, Jang Hwaom.
He picked up the Lee Myongsop.
Ah.
He asked to see you.
Send him in.
Ma'am.
Is he buying more?
Yes.
Welcome. Please.
Thanks.
Some tea?
Coffee or black tea?
I'm good.
Did your family enjoy the painting?
Yes.
They have taste.
My mother's birthday is next month.
Oh?
My father would like to give her a portrait.
Can you recommend an artist?
Many, actually. Famous or less so.
How much are you willing to spend?
Moderately well-known is fine.
Your mother must be lovely.
Average.
But he wants to do something special this year.
True love.
I'll find the right artist.
Can he work off a photo?
It's a surprise?
Yes.
A photo is fine, but the feeling comes from the person.
And the pose.
You don't just want a face shot.
Of course.
I'll make some suggestions.
Thanks.
I'll call.
Thanks.
I'll see myself out.
Goodbye.
Hm.
Will you be late?
A little. Why?
We should see a movie.
A movie and what else?
Shopping to de-stress.
What stress is that?
About the future?
Life can be hard.
Where did you hear that?
I'm busy today. This weekend?
Nothing yet?
Hm.
I left my phone at home.
Pssh. Doofus.
Sonji.
It's me.
I left my cell there. Bring it here.
It's in the charger.
Okay.
Chop-chop.
Okay.
You go. She's pregnant.
She's not your slave.
I have to work.
Tell her you're coming.
Okay.
Call before she leaves.
Yes?
Forget it. I'll come home.
Muom.
Your phone is off.
I forgot it. I'm going home now.
Get in.
I'll ride in back.
You'll get dirty.
Queenie, remember the pretty lady?
Queenie.
I'm taking her home.
Now?
Not here. A block over.
I love her, let's play a bit.
There's a playground by the church.
I tried to call and tell you I have her.
I'm always forgetting.
Nobody's perfect, right?
Your friend?
He's back.
I want to travel.
Where? I'll pay your way.
I mean it.
Nice of you to say.
I did a search. Songjun's single?
Hm.
And?
He's great. Practical, conscientious.
Then why is he single? If he's so great?
He isn't interested.
Like my brother.
I think his heart was broken once.
Very traumatic.
I told them you're coming over.
Can't Yongjun make it?
He works past 7. Closer to 8.
Where at?
SCAP. A team leader.
At 31?
He started young and worked hard.
Not too hot?
Hm.
Dad.
How did Mom die?
I'll tell you later.
When? We should know.
A traffic accident.
Trappic aksident? What's that?
Sir.
Did you see the customer feedback?
Hm?
Some positive posts. If you don't mind?
Oh, sure.
We had quite a ruckus this morning.
Why?
Mom is allergic.
I kept Queenie in my room but she got out today.
Turns out my dad is terrified of dogs.
Mr. Jang?
A dog bit him when he was little.
Sondong.
A photo to commemorate the occasion.
From girl to woman, Baek Sondong.
I hate that name.
Why? It has feeling.
It's hokey.
Here.
1, 2...
So you changed it?
A monk told me to.
A monk?
Hm. We all went to this temple.
The old monk said the name Ya will give me success.
Huh.
Queenie, here we go.
C'mon.
And sit.
Do you want one?
No pets allowed.
Time to go.
He misses his puppy.
Won't she be alone?
Sometimes, sure.
But it's her home.
Queenie.
Cooking?
Stir fry and veggies.
Sondong's favorite.
Right. She'd eat it with her fingers when she was little.
Oh, to be young again.
Look at us and she's not even blood.
Blood isn't everything. There's love.
She was, what, two?
She was one of ours.
True.
She was a proud one.
She should have come here when her father passed.
Very true.
Poor things, her and her brother.
You didn't sleep well?
Hm.
Take a nap at least.
Should I?
I should.
Got dinner plans? There's a new place.
What kind?
Noodles. Pretty good, too.
Ah. Pyongyang Noodles.
But easy on the stomach.
Another time.
We've got company coming.
How did you get by after he passed?
Yongjun.
He left school for me.
You should have called.
I was too little.
I have to do right by him.
His wife?
What?
They get along?
Not so great. Not so bad.
Just so?
She thinks she's all that.
But she's made him her slave boy.
Turn right there. Our place is down the alley.
Hm.
There was an accident in school, two years on her back.
She worked, what, a whole year?
Then the pleurisy.
All my brother does is slave for her.
Of course you would say that.
I suppose.
But I don't have to like it.
He's an angel.
Pricey.
Very.
You get it for free?
A friend of your sister-in-law's family?
Uh-huh.
Good for her.
I'll invite you in when Yongjun's here.
Sure.
Speak of the devil.
The in-law.
Hey.
I told you about Muom.
Hello.
I'm getting my cell.
Will you come in for tea?
Yes. here.
I'm fine.
Here.
All dressed up I see.
All we've got is instant.
I love it.
Here.
Please.
So this is us.
A happy family.
Very nice.
Hang on.
Have a seat.
I have the groceries.
My brother.
Wow. He looks different.
There's nothing on the homepage about Hwaom, other than his name.
He hates exposure.
Video call.
Nah.
Any other guys you fight with?
No. Why?
The root of all ills.
Any pretty friends, introduce them to him, other than Sonji.
He hates blind dates.
All his attention is on me.
Scolding me.
So do something about it.
It just means he cares.
No thank you.
Bathroom?
There.
You shouldn't go empty-handed. Get something.
I have a painting.
Oh, my back.
Let's take a break.
Our bellies are full at last.
So give us 5% of each sale.
Me 5%, Yaya 5%, total 10%.
We do half the work.
Half the what-now?
Half the work.
No salary then.
You kidding?
We own money, not the other way round.
Artists need to be hungry. For their art.
Then are all the homeless great artists?
When where you hungry?
I taught myself.
I teach you, I pay you.
Now you want 5%?
I'm supporting both of you?
Not both. Leave me out.
Pay Yaya, though.
She works so hard.
More than me.
Nope.
It's hard, living off her brother.
She can't afford anything other than knock-offs.
Then she gets a raise, but not you.
Ugh.
Be nice to me. Think ahead.
About what?
You know, when I marry into a conglomerate.
As if.
It took you this long to get your cell?
Sorry. I have to leave at five.
Whatever.
Oh Dallan.
Yes.
This way.
Coming.
Please.
What seems to be the trouble?
Janghun.
Don't you recognize me?
Oh Dallan.
Dallan.
Yes.
When did you get back?
Last January.
I was so surprised to see your photo.
You didn't know?
My son made the appointment.
Bring him in.
He left.
What's the problem? Your knee?
No. My hand.
Here.
Now, now.
Here.
Janghun, I'm so afraid.
How so?
Here.
That hurts?
A little.
Hm. Something is in there.
Is it painful?
Not too bad.
The other hand.
What if it's malignant?
I doubt it is. We'll take some pictures.
I haven't eaten for worrying about it.
There, there, at your age.
You know how I am.
Afraid of death?
I get worried.
It doesn't look serious.
Where do you live?
Socho. You?
Sorae Village.
Quite close.
It is.
An ultrasound.
Doctor.
Oh, and your mother?
She passed 7 years ago.
Natural causes?
Pancreatic cancer.
She didn't suffer.
Your mother?
She passed.
A stroke in her sleep.
Dinner...
I have plans tonight.
Dinner tomorrow?
Yes.
Ma’am.
I'm scared.
Let's all get together.
The hag, the granny, the nun.
You think?
It'll be fun.
Always together. You two dating?
Sort of like you and Yun Sohi, huh?
Latte?
Espresso.
And a refill.
You're upset, judging from the espresso.
Is Soh PD too cranky?
Cranky I can handle.
She's rude.
She's lazy, just marking time.
Nobody's perfect.
What's this about?
A new show.
We need ideas.
Assistant directors?
Hwaom made us.
Working together?
Well met.
We have till the weekend.
What do you want from me?
We won't forget.
I don't buy it.
Hello.
Welcome.
Is it ready?
Very nearly. Give me a minute.
It's just bone.
Not cancer?
No.
Whew.
Been losing sleep over it?
Yes.
You'll grow old.
Oh, you.
Is your son married?
Not yet.
Why?
Doctor, an emergency.
I'll call you.
This way.
Easy, easy.
Here.
A sale?
A gift.
You're not in Pyongchang anymore?
We moved to Songbuk.
She seems nice.
Sure you're not jealous?
Nuh-uh.
C'mon, you've always been greedy and jealous.
So?
You stuck so close to our mom.
You'd burst into tears if I so much as called her 'Mom.'
We were forever hearing about it.
Why?
For calling her 'Mom.'
You always had a knack for manipulation.
I didn't know who you were.
And if you had?
Who knows?
Things might have been different.
You set me up with Sonji.
Nuh-uh.
I'm not blind.
She's awful cute.
I prefer grown-ups.
Not girls.
Sure, so you say.
Wolf.
Look who's talking.
You like manly men.
Not some pretty neuter-boys.
Mom will come a-runnin'.
Not like with us. Man, the abuse, I'm tellin' ya.
Like we weren't even there.
What did Hwaom say about me?
He's happy.
I'm used to you now,
but they'll be surprised.
After seeing how the kid grew up.
Got old, you mean.
Yeah.
Where are you?
On the way.
She there?
Hm.
You're home?
Hm.
Seriously?
What now?
Shampoo and essence from Ms. Yun.
Good for hair loss. Share it.
You have a staff dinner?
Yes.
They're here.
It's different here.
I like Gangnam.
My dad.
Dad, Sondong.
Hello.
Is it really you?
Yes.
She's gorgeous.
Shall we?
Hm.
What's keeping them?
The garden, perhaps?
Oh, you're home.
Muom?
Hm?
Here they are.
