< Episode 8 > - Belated Remorse
Delicious~
This is all for you?
I’m not a pig, it’s for everyone. You could have some too.
Hey, Kang
What happened to your hair?
None of your business.
Come, have some pastries.
How can you eat this for breakfast?
It’s as good as anything.
Look at this! I’m gonna win for sure!!
< Bathroom >
Dream of poop! That’s a jackpot!!
Yes. I had it all over me and it was SWEET.
I also had a marvelous dream.
Carp? Isn’t that a precognitive dream of child birth?
Precognitive dream?
You think so too?! I knew it!
Wait and I’ll get you the good news.
Well done~
Anyways, it feels something’s missing with Juri gone.
Hello.
I’m Jin Sunmi. I’ll be working with you from now on.
Jin Sunmi.
What we do is not as easy as it seems.
100s, no 1000s of dollars go out in payment..
You have to be concentrated, quick, accurate and nice.
You’re scaring her off from the start.
If you don’t know anything, just ask. We could help.
Don’t get so nervous.
What’s wrong?
I ate something on my way here and I’ve been having diarrhea
Sorry, I gotta go use the restroom.
THAT’s honest. She has a nice figure, good impression.
I’d say she’s the best. Very good.
Chanho, just do your briefing for today.
Today? What d’we have today?
Kim Daeung, 11 yrs old. Hospitalized after a sudden collapse.
His mom previously faked his illness for insurance payment.
What about you?
It’s a PL insurance case. A substance was found in food.
As a result, many people were injured nationwide.
Factory sale was low and damage is high.
How much is it?
So far it exceeds $300K. They’ll supplement the rest.
Yeah? Well, go back to work.
Again?
You’re so senseless. Chulsu kissed you.
I’m saying it out of concern, I’m your senior and boss.
What’s up with this awkwardness? You both look ill at ease.
Did something happen?
What something?
Maybe something’s going on or certain body part was violated
- Chanho! - Mind your own business.
Whatever…
Why?
Is this how you’re gonna play?
It was a joke. What, it bothers you to ride together?
You have no loyalty as a man.
Act like a man. Why not say ‘I like you. What about you?’
What is this with stealing a kiss.
What kiss! Who kissed!
Whether it was a kiss or a peck, they’re all same.
Besides, if you were gonna do it, do it right.
Please stop it. Will you?
What’s so attractive about her?
She’s cool and competent. She looks cold and distant but...
she’s really fragile and womanlike. You wouldn’t know.
Womanlike? If she’s a woman then fly is a bird.
I guess she’s an apple of your eyes.
Fine, I’ll help you. Do whatever I say.
You don’t have to. Just stay out of it. Please.
You have such a low taste.
He never got an award. When he did, he was very excited.
He came home running and collapsed on the way.
If he was awarded for good conduct, he must be a good kid.
There’s nothing good about being nice.
If he’s not smart, he should be attractive.
That’s the trend. Most important is the look not the brain.
But why is this food…
I don’t feed anything but organic veggies and natural food.
But you don’t make him exercise?
I send him to Tae Kwon Do and health center.
But he’s not getting better.
I’m a belly dance instructor but he’s…
I wish he was a pretty and slim girl.
I’m gonna sign the contract. I’ll get you the earnest money.
I only need a little more time.
She must be good to have her own classes.
Mom’s a belly dance instructor but her kid’s not so…
I guess she could be depressed.
But how could she say she wants a pretty and slim girl when her kid is sick.
Modern day moms are so different.
They’re busy working and earning money.
Maybe she was short financially setting up her business...
So, she’s after the insurance?!
Let’s go.
Because Daeung’s overweight...
fat cells crowed blood vessel that goes to the heart, causing a shortness of breath.
He seems to watch his eating, with regular exercises.
Then why so sudden?
He suffers from an atopic disease and stomach flu.
He said he vomited on the day he collapsed.
Then had severe diarrhea. He must’ve eaten something bad.
He had a roundworm?
Yes. It usually parasites on animal.
If you’re infected, you suffer coughing and high temperature...
In worst case, it could become a bleeding pneumonia.
Look over there.
Nothing.
Look the other side.
Oh, I found it.
Who’d ever get filled with this?
It’s a fraction of what’s normal.
What’re you doing?
Well… the lunch box…
How dare you barge in like this.
It seems like Daeung ate something spoiled on that day.
You have any idea?
That can’t be...
Daeung’s such a good son, he won’t eat anything I told him not to.
I see..
Anyways, stop this nonsense and pay the insurance for my son...
How dare you search our room!
Mom…
Get out. I said get out! Both of you. Out!
Your damage is pretty high.
It was recalled when complaint was in but it was too late.
Unfortunately, it was distributed to a school store.
You claimed for damages on the property and compensation.
I should’ve called the insurance first but I was lost myself.
When I got complaining calls, I went ahead and paid them.
You think metal parts got in at this line?
Yes. We could’ve avoided if we knew metal detector was broke...
It’s fixed now.
Any damage incurred by the defects in product is covered...
under Product Liability Insurance.
I just have to check few things.
Please make the payment asap.
Our orders are down and we’re financially broke after paying compensation.
I understand.
Man~ How many times did I tell you to get rid of ‘em...
before insurance agent is out. Why is it still here?
I was gonna but got carried away on other work.
This is why I have to go kiss up all day.
Why’re you still here?
I’m missing a receipt on a repair.
Oh? Please wait.
Check if signatures are identical on contract and claim form.
How would I know? I’m not a handwriting expert.
If it looks different to your naked eye, bring it to me.
Hello. What’s wrong with father?
I’m busy so why don’t you go check...
You’re really, ok fine..
Father it’s me. What’s wrong? Is it something you ate?
Then why don’t we have lunch.
Why aren’t you eating? It’s your favorite cold noodle.
Are you really ill?
I feel pressured and breathless..
So finish this. It’s really good.
Do you want something else?
No, that’s fine.
If you don’t feel good, why don’t you get a checkup?
That’s waste of money.
What’s wrong?
Okay, if you wait I’ll get you more allowance.
Allowance? I heard there’s $100K beef in Japan.
So you want that?
No, I’m just letting you know…
I’m really tight. I have so many payments to make...
And limited income to do so. Everything takes a toll on me.
- Dongsik… - I gotta get back.
I’ll get you more later.
I had a good dream so I’ll hit a jackpot.
Go head.
You’re chasing after a rainbow.
You don’t really expect to find something, do you?
Stop nagging and help me here.
If Daeung’s mom did it on purpose...
she’d had it cleaned long ago, wiping out any evidence.
What’s this!
It’s a dog poop, isn’t it?
Dog poop? Yuck! Come here.
- Don’t come any closer. - come here.
No, why?
Who was the witness? Come here.
Don’t wanna.
Do you know Daeung?
No, I don’t.
Kids, raise your hand if you know Daeung.
I saw him collapse.
He had hard time breathing and was gone.
Daeung? He’s a loner. He doesn’t talk nor hang with us.
He never ate school lunch but ate his own lunch by himself.
He can’t eat other stuff' cause his mom won’t let him.
You think he ate something?
I wouldn’t know.
Anything special?
That’s right. Mrs. Oh was on a bicycle.
What’s wrong with him? Isn’t that Daeung?
He’s Suktae’s pawn. He was teased for being fat.
That all stopped after Daeung began to carry Suktae’s bag.
Suktae?
Mrs. Oh? Who’s Mrs. Oh?
She’s owns a snack bar.
His mom owns a snack bar and we’re on our way there.
Snack bar.
Looks delicious.
Can we have one order of rice cake?
Ok.
I thought he just fell. I didn’t know he collapsed.
But still, how could you go pass him?
I’m busy enough with my own business. I don’t have time for others.
Does Daeung eat this stuff too?
This stuff?
What d’you mean ‘this stuff.’ Kids love my food and
I put a great effort in making ‘em.
No, that wasn’t what I meant…
You must look down on me. Get out if you’re not gonna eat.
You’re here. My precious son. How are you?
He’s Suktae?
Mom, I’m hungry.
What d’you wanna eat? I’ll make you anything my son.
Bye.
How in the world did metal get into food.
That’s just horrible, totally unacceptable.
Our sales went down as a result.
What did he say when he came to collect the items?
He was very sorry and apologetic.
I’m so sorry. I have no excuse whatsoever.
He took the items and paid compensation.
Do it quick. Don’t disturb the business.
How much did you get?
About $300, not including the cost of food.
Why, I should’ve gotten more?
No, compensation is usually paid only to consumers.
Vendor is classified as a manufacturer.
That’s not fair. We did nothing wrong.
But he compensated for your sake.
I went through hell to get that out. I wanted to sue.
The only reason I didn’t was ‘cause he came to apologize and...
and paid all medical bills and compensation.
You’re fine now?
Yes but I get cautious and nervous with any kind of food now
How much did you receive in compensation?
About $3K including medical bills...
which wasn’t that much. Just enough to shut me up.
But I don’t wanna go through that again for any amount.
What’re you gonna eat?
I’m gonna…
Because of it kids suffered broken tooth and food poisoning.
Food poisoning?
Yeah. He came to school and paid compensation.
And you still get their products?
It wasn’t my call. Principal has connection with the factory
So Suktae is son of Mrs. Oh from the snack bar.
And Daeung carries Suktae’s bag.
Daeung collapsed but Mrs. Oh passed him by.
Anything clicks?
The oil used in fried food was not a joke.
You know how serious trans fat is? It’s a problem.
Is that why you feed Kangyi with homemade lunch?
Let’s not even go there. If food caused trouble for Daeung...
then there’s a good chance it’s from that snack bar. Maybe..
Whatever I eat I don’t gain weight or get sick.
You’re different. You’re born from the god of food.
- What the heck. - Somebody’s dead - What happened?
We have no usable identity..
He’s the man who was with Mr. Noh.
Yes, Right.
Hello Detective Kim. What’s going on?
Don’t know. Maybe it was a fight or maybe he was assaulted.
We have to check it out.
- See ya. - Alright, good luck.
Something’s weird, isn’t it?
What?
It seemed like he was killed but Mr. Noh’s not here either.
And it makes sense for him to tell fortunes when his friend is killed?
I guess not.
He compensated consumers as well as vendors.
The amount increased ‘cause it got into a school store.
Anything suspicious?
I feel uneasy about food poisoning. Maybe food was spoiled.
If so, that’s the responsibility of vendor.
But a substance did get in by the defect of the machine so..
What about yours?
I need to investigate further to get a full picture.
Why something’s fishy?
The mom is. Also he seemed to have eaten something bad.
Eating is Chanho’s expertise. Why can’t you solve it?
Never had any trouble from eating anything.
Man…
Oh, Ms. Jin
Yes?
Why did you have diarrhea? What did you eat?
That’s... so embarrassing. Don’t know what to say.
Chulsu. Come on in.
Chulsu, where you going?
Come here. Come.
Why were you leaving? Did you eat?
No.. I’ll.. just go home
What’s wrong with you?
I’m fine. I’ll just go.
Hey, Chulsu!
Let him go.
Be nice to him.
Nice to him?
He’s acting all weird. You know how much he cares for you?
You hardly get that from men.
You saw it, didn’t you?
See what?
You know. Why’re you feigning like you didn’t.
Fine, I saw it.
I bet you’re the only woman who sleeps...
when someone’s slobbering on your face.
What? Slobbering?
I think Chulsu’s decent.
Think about your age and stop being picky.
Am I a waste? A spoiled food?
Well no…
Yes, Chulsu is decent. At least he’s not like you.
I’m considering so knock it off.
Hey. Hey...
Something’s wrong with you after you perm.
- Chanho Park. - Huh?
Get your stance straight.
If you’re gonna play cupid, do it right.
If you don’t wanna lose her, stop hiding your feelings.]
The dumbest of all is who regrets after it’s over.
Lose her? Regret? Who?
To her, you have...
What’re you saying..
You weren’t gonna do that.
It’s weird to have you listen to me.
It expires tomorrow so it’s okay.
C’mon!
It’s getting hotter and we have to be careful what we eat.
Don’t worry. You’ll be fine even if you eat garbage.
Go check the snack bar and drop me off at the hospital.
What do I check?
How would I know. You’re the one who was suspicious.
What’re you doing?
Mom’s not here?
Yes.
Where is she?
Probably out looking for a dance school.
Dance school? Oh for belly dancing.
What about dad?
Everyone’s busy working.
Did you eat anything?
Want some chicken?
Or hamburger? Pizza? Fried food? What d’you like?
I can’t eat those.
The day you collapsed, what did you eat?
I didn’t eat anything other than mom’s lunch.
- Then why did you vomit? - ‘Cause I was breathless.
Tell me your favorite. I’ll get it for you in secret.
- Really? - Yes.
You’re a bad man, aren’t you?
I don’t why you’re here again but...
I did nothing wrong.
Daeung’s family? Why?
She barged in kicking up a fuss about child education.
Who the heck is Suktae? Come in!
What did you teach your kid that he’s slaving my child!
Listen, they’re kids. What are you doing?
Can’t you see! Your kid is abusing mine.
Is he looking down at my kid ‘cause he’s big?!
Lady, don’t get me…
What a disrespectful tone.
I’m not the person someone like YOU could insult.
What! You piece of crap!
Daeung’s mom?
After that catfight, I didn’t want anything to do with them.
That’s why I ignored Daeung.
If not, I would’ve looked after him when he collapsed.
Did Daeung stop by here to eat something?
No way. He’s gonna go through hell if his mom finds out.
She’s obsessed and she doesn’t even know it ruins him.
There’s limit to everything and that poor kid is suffering.
I won’t! No, I can’t.
You could do it in no time. Delivery is so behind.
Today’s very hot. Inventory in a freezer truck could go bad.
We have to fix it first.
So go and make the run asap.
What about traffics?
Are you refusing my order? You wanna get fired?
You take the blame if it goes wrong. I’m innocent.
He is so fired if he’s not my brother-in-law.
C’mon go fast and furious!
Hello. May I get you something to drink?
No thank you.
Payment will be disbursed if I sign today?
Well… I still have couple more things to check.
What else is there? You met with vendors and consumers.
If payments were confirmed, what’s the problem?
Are these recalled items? I’ll take few to use as a proof.
Didn’t you take a picture of ‘em?
I should’ve done both but I forgot to take them.
Sure. Take some.
Then..
He hasn’t been to Tae Kwon Do for some time.
Same with the health center..
Then what was he doing after school?
Play.
He doesn’t even have a friend.
With Suktae.
Daeung was carrying Suktae’s bag. He wouldn’t play with him.
He didn’t go near the snack bar.
Kids tend to wanna eat more if they’re told not to.
Not only kids. You’re like that too.
Maybe Suktae’s mom was mad at Daeung’s mom
And fed weird stuff to Daeung.
She’s not that twisted. And she does business toward kids.
Then maybe.. Daeung’s mom is a stepmom.
She was short in setting up her dancing school.
So she used hazardous stuff on Daeung’s food.
Daeung~ Eat as much as you can~
But be sure to say organic food’s the only thing you eat, k?
Here, have more.
Lunch box was a pretense to trick others.
So you used lunch box to kiss Kangyi?
Why d’you bring that up when we’re working.
What working. We’re eating ice pops. But your face is weird.
Why?
Look.
That’s why it’s been itchy.
Are you… food poisoned?
What?!
I gotta go run some errands.
It won’t be long.
Substance was found in an item, Why’re you still in business with them?
I can’t cut ‘em off with one mistake. That’d be heartless.
I heard you’re well connected with owner of the factory.
Excuse, I better get going.
I think… there’s a deal between them.
The factory wanted to continue to supply the school.
In turn, principal is paid certain rebate.
Even though there was a big damage due to food poisoning?
The entire staff tried to stop it but didn’t work.
I hope there’s no further damage.
Honey, I’m on outside duty.
What?!
Really?
I’m gonna be a dad!
What a waste of trip.
It was the right dream.
Huh? Nothing.
Wow, this is so cute.
- Really? - Yes.
Congratulations!
Me too. Congratulations.
- What are those? - Mr. Yeo’s gonna be a dad.
Really? You still have it. Wonder why you went to hos
Anyway, congratulations. Bravo!~
Alright, dinner is on me tonight. Ms. Jin is new too so let’s celebrate.
Really?
But I’m busy tonight…
For what?
I better go check the factory again. Let’s go some other day
Yeah? Alright.
What’s wrong? It seemed like everything was fine.
Hey, are you deaf?
I told you to keep your nose out of my business.
So you’re not gonna talk to me anymore?
Let’s see if that’s gonna work.
Where’s Chulsu? Why isn’t he here?
He’s been eating a lot these days and is food poisoned.
What?
We ate the same stuff but he’s the only one sick.
He has red spots all over his face.
Maybe it’s caused by the passion in his heart.
It’s itchy.
We ate the same stuff and he’s fine.
Seriously, he’s not a normal human.
Mr. Gong Chulsu~
Yes.
Mister.
Ready to go home?
Something like that… You know, right?
What?
The man at the park…
Oh, Huh.. Yeah..
He turned out pretty bad. I feel sad too.
You have something going on these days?
What something?
You don’t seem so surprised.
That’s our life. We don’t prepare for our death.
We live on daily basis.
It seemed like he was stabbed.
Watch your back when you’re out at night.
The world’s a frenzy place.
You too and don’t worry about me. Good night.
This is so cool! Are you good at games?
You’re alone again.
I’m by myself when I go home.
You know what I hate the most?
Eating by myself…
I hate eating by myself. So I always eat ramen at the office
I eat sandwich and kimbap with my coworker..
I love eating.
Me too.
I hate eating by myself too..
I wanna eat school lunch with friends...
And go out to have dinner with my parents.
Your mom’s food is not good, ha? Healthy food is not tasty.
I’m sorry to mom.. Mom’s pretty and slim.. but I’m…
Mister, are you here to pay us ‘cause I’m sick?
Me? You could say that.
Then could you pay us fast?
Mom wants to open a dance school but she’s short.
Dad is against the idea.
You have to pay us. Dancing school is mom’s dream.
Okay, let’s do that…
Really?
I promise. Notarized. And copied.
Must’ve been difficult.
I’m sure there was a lot you wanted to eat but you refrained
I didn’t. I knew mom’d be worried but I ate behind her back.
I didn’t know it’d be like this. It’s a secret, ok?
Okay
But I did refrain from so many things I wanted to eat.
I only ate bread.
Bread?
Didn’t I tell you to put ‘em away before agent’s out?
So he got sick from eating bread?
That’s it.
What kinda bread would that be?
You have a pen?
Yeah..
Huh? Yes..
Let me borrow it for a day.
You could keep it.
How’re you?
It’s not that bad. I’ll get better.
Do you really have to test it on yourself?
You could keep it.
Why not add a ribbon to it.
Wanting all the credit for piece of pen.
Why’re you acting like a child.
Chanho! You alright?
Chanho! Chanho!
Oh, come on!
Whose gonna stop you…
Why don’t you go to a hospital. You look worse.
You’re gonna be on your own?
You miss him, don’t you?
Who?
Daeung.
- Wanna go See him? - Really?
But he’s not gonna like it.
Why?
I always harassed him.
But you kept his food for him.
How did you know?
Daeung, what you doing? Let me see.
Wow, you have a lot of games. Hey, follow me.
We came to play here after school. He had a lot of games.
So Daeung let you play his games and you let him stay here?
You could say that.
< Matna Croquette >
We checked the ingredients and it’s pretty serious.
They’re different from what’s written.
What, you ate that too?
I’m not you. Why would I eat such stuff?
Such stuff? What’s wrong with it.
This is how you’re gonna play? Not sharing any info? Fine.
You ate that?
Such stuff?
Ingredients in this croquette are leftover fodder.
How d’you feel?
I was treated and just got my medicine.
- you got docs on disbursement? - Yeah.
- All filled in? - Of course.
Then call Daeung’s mom and make an appointment to meet.
What?
Two, three~ Let’s go one more time!
Good to see you. So we’ll sign today and get our payment?
Yes.
But I noticed that this car is always on.
That’s… because it’s a freezer truck.
So, is it fixed?
Pardon?
The ingredients that makes the bread, where d’you keep ‘em?
I don’t think I saw a freezer in the factory.
I heard rent is pretty high to rent a freezer?
Sign here.
- Here? - Yes.
Wait a second.
Ingredients wouldn’t be in these unsanitary rags, would it?
Of course not! These are leftover food to feed livestock.
You’re very thrifty. May I see?
Where are they from?
Suktae’s.
You put these ingredients in this bread, didn’t you?
Nonsense! You’re accusing me.
The ingredients are pretty serious.
Fodder, spoiled veggies, leftover fries, and chemicals.
Then it’s deep fried in lard. How can you call this food?
Where do you think these came from?
Yes. Daeung?!
Daeung...
Please save him. Please save my son. Daeung! Daeung!
I told you not to feed him that.
I didn’t! Am I crazy?
Then how did he get hold of it? How did he eat it?
Curious?
Because he was restrained from eating, he used a puppy as an excuse.
Mister.
- Hey Daeung~ - Do you have any leftover bread?
Of course.
Can I have some? I want to feed my friend’s dog.
Sure, wait here.
Here you go.
Mom told me not to play with a dog ‘cause I’m allergic.
So could you keep it as a secret?
Sure. Go play.
Thank you.
That can’t be.. our Daeung…
Insurance will be paid ‘cause he didn’t know what it was.
PL insurance will also be paid ‘cause substance was found.
But there were others, such as spoiled milk in cream pie,
industrial coloring in red bean, excessive shortening in all
Don’t you honestly think this is too much?
Food is very sensitive issue. How could play with it?
I didn’t know my kid would eat it. My kid would eat it..
30 boxes? Of course. It’s on its way.
Daeung, you should never eat that.
Why? Dad made it.
Still, don’t eat it, okay?
That wasn’t the only thing.
Pizza, hamburger, fried food..
She wouldn’t let me eat anything except her food.
But I thought that’d be okay ‘cause Dad made it.
You see, Daeung ate it because it was made by his dad.
A metal was discovered in bread causing quite a stir.
It was later discovered that ingredients were made of fodder and waste.
Numerous students from a school...
supplied by this factory have been food poisoned and are treating.
Police are on seizure and search...
and company president Kim Yanghun will be taken into custody for interrogation.
What about this. I was just trying to cut the food cost.
So? If it sells, that’s what’s important. So what about this!
You awake?
You had a good sleep?
Mom, I almost died.
I’ll listen to whatever you say. Sorry.
No.. I’m sorry.. It’s all my fault. .
What? Father collapsed?
What happened? Myocardial infarction?
But he was healthy.
Yes, he was fine.
He came to have lunch with me and ate..
No, he couldn’t eat his favorite noodle.
I should’ve taken him to a hospital then.
Father.. I’m so sorry.. I’m truly sorry..
Am I still alive?
Yes.
I wish I could eat a bowl of cold noodle.
Father…
A grown man like a cry-baby…
Sorry…
What?
You’re not pregnant? Going through a menopause?
There are times when dreams are not always right.
Perhaps the carp meant lotto…
Quiet!
Chief, here.
What is it?
Your father’s medical payment claim form.
This was…lotto. This was it.
Did you eat break / Did you eat? / What about breakfa..
Of course I ate.
Here’s the best T-bone steak ever.
I want two.
That’s a thick one. Such a glutton.
Only thing that’s gonna stop his appetite is food poisoning.
Don’t wanna even think about it.
Anyone who plays with food should all be hanged.
I HATE it the most. That’s my enemy, no enemy of the world
Smells good. Where is it from?
Is this… an older cow from America?
You know…
Is mad cow disease covered under insurance?
Mad cow disease?
What’re you saying! This is a Korean cow. Pure Korean.
Long live Korea. Let’s eat!
I have a very strict philosophy in food.
That’s right. Ours is the best. Let’s eat up!
Next Story.
Felt shudder at feeling of peeking through unapproachable
Forensic science…
But why that particular art. Why Juk-Mul..
Then perhaps…
A ghost?
Ghost on the artwork.
