Episode 21
You...
Are you Oh Myung Chul's son?
Is Chairwoman Chung your mother?
I missed the chance again.
I was thinking of telling them the truth.
I am always like this.
I am always one step late.
What's your reason for coming to Earth and Man?
I was curious about Earth and Man.
My mom has an obsession with the place.
If I figured out about this place and their Kimchi,
I would be able to please her.
You are a good son.
My mom doesn't approve of me.
She hardly smiles at me.
You've seen my mom.
She is a heroine.
I am timid and have no guts. Besides...
I am a coward.
I came to Earth and Man, to prove something to her.
At first, I thought it'd just be a week.
But I ended up staying until I got caught.
Do they know you are at Earth and Man?
My parents?
Yes.
My dad has known for a while and my mom found out recently.
Yes, Dad.
I decided to send you to the seminar in America this year.
We don't have much time left for preparation.
I will call you back later.
Hae Jun!
I need to talk to you.
It seems that it's time for me to go back home.
My parents are worried.
I guess so.
Kang San drinks Makgeolli so deliciously.
She sings the "Drink" song well.
Does she like drinking?
Who are you talking about?
Chairwoman Chung.
My mom?
I think she does, but I've never drunk with her.
Except for when she has wine with my dad, she always drinks alone.
I've seen her drinking alone at night several times.
She has such high pride. She doesn't want to be seen drunk even to her family.
I think I know now why she's so obsessed with Earth and Man.
I used to whine a lot.
I thought no one cared about me when I was having a hard time.
I used to live like that.
But I realized while I was at Earth and Man.
Mom was lonely too.
I always thought she was cool headed.
But she must have been really lonely.
I keep thinking that.
What are you going to do?
I should tell them the truth.
I should, but...
Kang San will be really disappointed.
You know she doesn't get disappointed easily.
I know.
To be honest, I don't want to tell them.
Once I do that, I will need to go home.
I know it's too much to hope.
I don't deserve to stay at Earth and Man.
I've done wrong.
It isn't you who have done wrong.
Let's go to Earth and Man.
Lotus Root Kimchi
Why isn't Dad coming yet?
Did they really say he was on his way home?
Yes.
But why isn't he here yet?
He should already have arrived.
Let's wait a little longer.
I feel uneasy.
I wonder if he had an accident on his way?
Don't think such thoughts. I'm sure he didn't.
I feel more nervous since Uncle is not at home.
I asked him to eat dinner at home with Dad.
He must be having too much fun.
I really enjoyed the movie. How about you?
I did too.
That's a relief.
The movie was more for women's tastes, so I worried you might be bored.
Oh, I heard Mr. Lee is coming home today.
I heard from Woo Joo. That's great. She was thrilled.
Yes.
Don't you need to go home soon then?
I am sorry for keeping you so long with my chats.
I will buy you dinner next time.
Let's go.
I am not a good person.
Pardon?
I've never made friends in my life.
What made you say that?
I don't want to lose a good friend.
I want us to stay as good friends.
Would you please allow me that?
You are saying we can't be anything more than that.
You are such a nice woman.
But I am not good enough for you.
Perhaps... do you have someone you like?
No.
I don't have many friends either. But I made a good friend today.
What would it be like to lose your own child right under your nose?
I can't sleep when I think about that.
What do you mean?
You...
You must be a precious child to your father.
What would you do?
If you were me, what would you do?
Do what?
Now I realize what it means...
...that everything finally comes into its place.
No matter how hard you try, you can't hide the truth.
You may not believe this.
But I was grateful and sorry the whole time I lived with you.
I felt bad for not telling you the truth.
And I was grateful that you were always nice to me.
So you didn't love me?
It was just gratitude?
Is the word love suitable for us?
You knew everything from the beginning.
Feelings of betrayal, anger, and hatred...
I understand how you must have felt.
You must have felt that way. I am sure.
I would have felt the same if I were you.
But ruining the child's life cruelly like that...
...isn't something a human should do.
What about you?
It is you who treated me badly for 30 years.
And now you are accusing me of being shameless?
Are you trying to cover up your sense of guilt that way?
I know there's no proof or witness.
So if you deny it, there's nothing I can do.
Stop talking nonsense!
You can't hide from it now.
Hae Jun is staying with him at the same place.
It happened that way.
I don't want to hear about it anymore!
I am not saying this for your sake.
Never... touch my child again.
What?
If you cause pain to my child again,
I won't forgive you.
Why are you coming back together?
It just happened that way.
Didn't Mr. Lee come?
Was there no message from him?
No.
I can't believe you guys!
You are all the same, Ho Tae and Hae Jun!
How can you be so indifferent to my dad?
Sis...
You knew he was coming. But everyone is too busy with their own business.
No one even called.
Weren't you curious if he came home?
How can you be like that?
How can you be so indifferent like that?
In this cold weather...
We don't even know how he is doing...
How can you be that way?
You shouldn't be so indifferent like that!
You know that's not true.
I am so disappointed!
I am so upset!
What if Dad never comes back home!
Don't worry.
He will come home.
He will definitely come back.
Please help the Grandpa's shooting star come back home soon.
Woo Joo must be really disappointed.
Please don't take it personally.
She was right.
I was so busy with my business I forgot about him.
I think we should go find him ourselves.
That's what I am going to do.
I can't just sit around and wait.
Please forget everything.
I know this may sound irresponsible.
But...
Please forget everything.
My dad would have said the same thing.
Move on and live your life now.
I don't know what it means to live my life.
You are suffering now.
That's not what you do for yourself.
If it's hard to forgive, just try to forget.
Hating someone is more painful.
It's impossible to forget.
I thought knowing the truth would solve everything.
Because all I would need to do is get revenge.
However,
I can't even do that.
I cannot forgive nor hate them.
I shouldn't have looked for them if I had known this would happen.
After all, sometimes you don't need to know the truth.
Did you want to see me, boss?
How old are you now?
I am 30.
Has it been 10 years since you started working for me?
Yes.
It's time for you to take charge of a branch then.
Show me what you got this time.
That way, you will have your followers too.
You are the only one I can put my trust in.
Don't you think?
I will work hard.
Okay. Good.
Let's do something big together.
I used the money for myself.
And...
I kept those who don't listen to me in the basement.
I even harshly punished them.
I bought private land with the land of the orphanage...
...and built a house for myself.
The serial kidnapping is targeted at high profile persons...
The police are investigating by tracking down the ID...
This so called, "Robin Hood's Kidnapping"...
is a third one, following the kidnappings of President Kwak of Hanjung Group and Prosecutor Han.
Run, Hyun Soo!
That's right! Run just like that!
See? I said you can.
If the director pesters you again, just run away.
Don't let her catch you. OK?
But I will end up getting caught.
Run far away so that she can't catch you ever.
Then I won't be able to see you.
We are tied together with a knot that cannot be untied.
We won't separate from each other.
Run, Hyun Soo! Run!
No way!
It can't be.
That isn't possible.
Hey, what brought you here?
I came to kidnap you.
What?
Let's go eat.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Did you sleep well?
Are you making breakfast?
I realized I always ate what was prepared for me.
I want to make it myself today. Is that OK?
Is it... because of what Woo Joo said yesterday?
It's not that.
Go rest more. I will let you know when it's ready.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
It's Seollong soup today.
We made it yesterday for our dad.
Kang San and I thought it'd be good for his tired body.
I see.
I was narrow-minded yesterday.
I am sorry, Uncle.
Don't be.
I guess I depend on you too much.
I was more nervous yesterday because you were gone.
I shouldn't be that way.
You have your own life.
When will I become a real grown-up?
You are wonderful the way you are now.
Do you really think so?
I believe it because you said so.
Do you remember?
What I said when I was little?
I said I would marry you when I grew up.
I...
I am grateful and happy that you are always beside me.
I told you I am fine!
Hyun Soo!
Welcome!
I brought him for breakfast.
Great! Let's go in!
I am good. I will just go.
To where?
Good morning!
It's good you came!
Did you make all of this by yourself?
I hope it tastes good.
I should have been a better help to you all.
You are strange.
What is strange?
You talk as if you were leaving us.
Did you get scouted for more money?
It's not that.
Please go ahead.
Yes.
Help yourself.
Okay.
Thanks for the food!
Why aren't you eating?
My stomach doesn't feel good.
You don't like radish rice?
We have white rice. Would you want that?
No, thanks.
Hyun Soo! Hyun Soo!
Are you alright?
Yes.
Hey, man! What's wrong with your stomach?
It's minor gastritis. I am just fine.
You don't look fine.
I am really fine.
You can't eat because of me.
I will go.
8-shaped knot.
Do you remember?
What about it?
Young Ju came to see me.
And?
All the victims had their hands bound in a 8-shaped knot.
So what?
They pointed at me as a suspect.
As Robin Hood?
Did you know?
I saw it on the news.
Young Ju is a lousy reporter.
You are not the only one who can make an 8-shaped knot.
I can do that too.
Yeah.
Now that I think about it,
You were my savior both then and now.
This time too.
I was lost because I couldn't see what I was looking for.
But you led me.
What were you looking for?
A goal in my life.
What is it?
I will tell you later.
Hyun Soo!
Don't forget.
I am always there for you.
Never forget that.
I never forgot.
I will go.
Robin Hood: The one who unties the knot will conquer the world!
I wish Robin Hood had sent him far away!
Oh? He is the one from last time...
Yeah.
You could win a writing contest. You're a good writer.
Did you write it all yourself?
Why did you write that kind of stuff?
Why?
Is it not allowed?
I am not saying that.
I was just curious.
If Robin Hood is someone you know.
I don't know him.
Even if I knew him, I wouldn't tell you.
Because you would catch him.
Robin Hood is a kidnapper. And we, the police, catch kidnappers.
You can't catch him.
Because he is the guardian of justice.
What? Guardian of justice?
Yes.
I want to be like him when I grow up.
Watch your mouth!
Is that why you ran away? To become like Robin Hood?
I won't go back to the orphanage.
Where will you go?
To Earth and Man.
Where did you say?
Mr. Kimchi's house. He told me to come anytime.
Tell me details about Mr. Kimchi.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
What does that mean?
He was a gangster. It won't be hard to arrest him.
I can't just arrest someone because he belonged to a gang.
If needed, I have someone who can find proof or witnesses.
Do you mean Cho Dae Shik?
Yes.
What is the reason?
What is your relationship with Ki Ho Tae?
You don't need to know that.
His existence isn't necessary in society.
Someone like you should take care of him.
Is that so?
I see.
I will contact you.
It's getting complicated.
Who did you just talk to?
He must have videotaped the witch too.
What was it about?
That's strange.
He sent all the videos to the news, except for hers.
The police found that suspicious too.
But why do you ask?
Just...out of curiosity.
Is that really all?
You seem to be hiding something.
I am not!
I was named as a suspect. I should know about this.
Let's have a drink with Hyun Soo sometime.
When we have time.
I'm glad Hyun Soo is doing fine. I was worried about him.
What do you mean?
Hyun Soo had someone to marry.
His fiance died in an accident.
What?
Didn't you know?
Tell me the details.
I don't know much either. Byung Soo told me recently.
I went to see him to get his phone number.
Where is Byung Soo now?
He works at an auto shop.
But even Byung Soo didn't know all the details.
Byung Soo! I am Ki Ho Tae. Call me as soon as you get this message!
What are you doing?
Hey!
You scared me!
You made my heart jump even more!
Did you do something wrong?
Is your wife demanding a divorce again?
Why are you doing that to me too?
Oh, my!
I can't believe what's happening!
What is going on?
You said he was coming home.
Where on earth did he go?
We called around the places he might go.
But he didn't go to any of them.
Don't you need to file a missing persons report?
I may die without seeing him once again.
I will have Woo Joo take care of the restaurant and go look for him.
Where are you going to find him?
I have to find him, even if I need to look all over the country.
You should already have done that!
I am sorry!
The weather is getting warm, Sir.
I feel cold.
My body and heart feel cold.
Good for you. You feel warm.
Did you eat lunch?
How can I? My lifespan is getting shorter because of Mr. Lee!
He will come. He will come home!
What makes you so sure?
Snail, go with Kang San to find Mr. Lee.
Don't come back until you find him.
-Got it? -Yes!
I will keep that in mind.
Saying it is easy.
Did you get the results?
What results?
They drew my blood!
They ran a test, so there should be results!
Oh, your test results! They haven't come yet.
Why are they taking so long?
So...
Are they going to give me the results after I die?
Who is going to die?
Why are you getting upset?
I am not getting upset.
Just relax. I will tell you as soon as I get it.
But you will be just fine.
I am a doctor too. I just know.
I don't care what a quack says.
Anyway, I am really worried about Lee Ki Chan.
You have the results, don't you?
Does Mr. Seol have an illness?
Why?
Does my face say that?
Tell me please.
What is it? Is it bad?
He has pancreatic cancer.
What?
Nothing can be done at this stage.
What should we do, Kang San?
Radish rice and namul is good for the stomach.
Eat Seolong soup with your husband.
Please don't.
If you do this, I won't be able to come back because I feel bad.
You have to come back to return the containers.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. Call me anytime if you crave anything.
What brought you here?
Take this.
You said you'd be late today. So I brought it.
You are not well. You shouldn't bother yourself.
I am just delivering it.
It should be good. It's from Earth and Man.
-Where? -Earth and Man.
Last time the full moon food was from there too.
Every time, they make special food that is good for my stomach.
They are so sweet.
You should make time so that we can go there together.
No way!
The test must be wrong. That can't be true!
I wish that was the case.
Dr. Kim is an expert on pancreatic cancer.
It can't be a misdiagnosis.
Uncle, what should we do?
He can't even have surgery?
No.
Luckily, he should feel less pain because of his age.
But he can't endure chemo-therapy.
Dr. Kim said that too.
It may be better not to tell Mr. Seol.
I think so.
Even if he finds out, there's nothing he can do.
It will be just shocking to him.
But we should let his family know.
He has a son. But I don't know how to contact him.
He doesn't seem to be in touch with his dad.
But we need to let him know.
My dad's notebook may have some information about him.
Can you look? I will contact him.
Yes.
What should we do, Sir?
I don't know what to do.
Make him good food so his immune system doesn't weaken.
We should help him do what he wants to do.
We should help him until he dies.
Don't say that. Miracles happen!
He may be able to heal!
Kang San! Let's have him stay here. I can't let him be alone!
He would get suspicious if we ask him to stay here.
And he has his son. We can't just decide on our own.
That's right. Let's think about it later.
Don't look sad. Smile.
Smiles are medicine to him.
Let's make him smile more!
Here's a delivery!
I guess he's not coming back.
He sent us homework again.
Don't worry.
I will find him no matter what.
You know I always keep my word. I am Lee Kang San!
At times like this, you look like the older one.
Then, call me Unni (older sister).
Okay. Kang San Unni!
Oh, well. I prefer being the younger one.
You are smiling. That's better.
Let's cheer up.
That's how we can find dad and help Mr. Seol.
Okay. I will cheer up.
I will.
Can you go wash these? They need peeling too.
I will do it.
Let your Dongseng do it.
Ho Tae has a dependable Dongseng now!
How have you been?
Not so well.
Mr. Seol is sick, and our dad hasn't come home yet.
What brought you here?
I have something to tell you regarding your father.
What do you mean by that?
My dad has Alzheimer's disease?
That doesn't make sense. You must be wrong.
Alzheimer's disease for my dad?
No way!
What is that, Kang San?
You know how strong my dad is.
That can't happen to my dad!
Is he ill?
Yes.
How exactly?
What is Al...Alzheimers?
He is losing his memory.
Like dementia?
Yes.
Don't believe that.
That's not true.
That can't be!
It's not true!
You got it wrong.
I am his doctor.
He asked me not to tell his family until he does himself.
How serious is his condition?
I am not sure how it is now.
When he first came to see me,
He told me he had once lost his way in a subway and wandered for three hours.
But he is a man with strong will power.
So he was doing pretty well.
My dad... got lost and wandered for three hours?
Yes.
Medicine can't cure him.
But it can slow down the progression of the illness.
But he must be out of the medicine I prescribed for him by now.
Why is your promise so important?
A patient's wellness is the most important thing to a doctor.
Why didn't you tell us sooner?
I believed Mr. Lee.
He has a strong mind.
That's why I waited.
But I can't do that anymore.
I need to check on him how much it progressed as soon as possible.
He even sent us homework. Doesn't that mean he is okay?
He couldn't do that if he lost his memory.
Don't you think so, Uncle?
Did you know about him, Uncle?
I kind of noticed it.
But I couldn't ask him.
How can you do that?
He is our dad!
We are the ones who should have known this!
But we are the only ones who didn't know. Why are you telling us now?
If we had known...
We wouldn't have let him leave like that.
He must have suffered a lot.
He was all alone...
Woo Joo...
What you do now is crucial.
Be strong, Kang San.
I am sorry.
He will come back.
He is stronger than anyone else.
That's why I feel even worse.
That's why my heart hurts even more.
My dad has a lot of pride.
He will never collapse.
I know that.
Not just anyone can give you homework like this.
What's wrong with this knife?
I will do it.
I have to do it.
Should we get started?
Yes.
It's lotus roots that keep your ties strong.
I heard a story about how a 1000 year old lotus string...
... sprouted and bloomed a flower.
It was quite a strong tie that kept it going 1000 years...
Who was it that it wanted to see to endure 1000 years?
If you think about it, nothing is more precious than ties.
Will we able to see Mom again if much time passes?
You can't meet someone again once that person dies.
If you don't forget, if you still remember,
It will be just like meeting that person again.
The next important things is how you meet someone for the first time.
The lotus root, which is very hard to cut,
...changes its color once it's cut into pieces.
Just like our hearts that can change easily.
The color doesn't change if it becomes Kimchi.
That's right.
It's because they had the time to understand each other.
For any ties, you need the time and heart to wait and understand the person.
It's amazing.
The process Kimchi ferments and becomes complete...
...is very similar to how humans live life.
I came to eat the bean sprout rice you make, Dad.
I skipped lunch so I'm starving.
Nothing is a coincidence.
I met you again because I was meant to.
I need to find the truth.
I will find it no matter what.
Do you know the saying that truth has power?
Is one month left?
Until the statute of limitations expire?
I was going to tell them today.
But the situation isn't very good.
I'd feel bad to leave Earth and Man at a time like this.
You handle your business yourself. You don't need to report to me.
You said you are my Hyung (older brother).
I know you're disappointed in me.
But I don't like how you suddenly became cold to me.
It's me.
I think they are going to get Woo Tae Bok!
What?
I can't tell you the details because I have no time.
You know detective Cho Mi Nam? Watch him!
What do you mean?
Oh Myung Chul and he are close!
Are you sure?
Oh, man! I am sure of it!
I need to go!
What was that about?
It's me.
It's good timing. I was going to...
Listen to me first.
Cho Dae Shik is targeting you.
What do you mean?
Probably Oh Myung Chul ordered him.
Go hide for a while. Go somewhere you have no connections.
Why are you telling me this?
Because you are the only witness.
Let's meet now.
You have something to hear from me, right?
Where are you?
Perhaps...does he want to kill him?
It's me, honey.
Honey?
Hello?
Honey?
Hello?
Where's Woo Tae Bok? Weren't you going to see him?
Hey, Ki Ho Tae! You want to die?
You hit a cop?
Hey, you!
Gosh, I got shot!
What is this?
Where's Woo Tae Bok?
What do you mean?
I asked where Woo Tae Bok is!
How do I know that?
Tell me.
Where is he?
Let go of him, Ki Ho Tae!
I said let go.
What are you?
A cop. Didn't you know?
What brought you here, bro?
Oh, I have something to tell you.
What is it? Have a seat.
No, thanks. I took your guys.
What?
They had a loaded gun.
For holding an illegal weapon...
Why is this so long? Anyway!
I took them to the police station.
What?
Was the gun used?
No.
How about Woo Tae Bok?
You didn't meet Woo Tae Bok?
He disappeared.
I found this at our meeting place.
Ki Ho Tae!
You are under arrest for obstruction of justice!
Earth and Man.
