(Episode 13)
What did you say?
You saw...
You saw the thief?
That's what I said didn't I?
I...
I clearly saw the thief with these two eyes.
Who was it?
Who?
Who stole the money?
The thief is...
I'll tell you tomorrow.
Manager Ko.
Are you messing with me?
It's no fun telling you right now.
I'm going to say it in front of everyone in the company.
What did you say?
Manager Ko!
Don't worry!
You know...
I'm one to keep my word.
I am!
See you tomorrow.
Manager Ko!
Then I'll be on my way.
Um...
Is there something going on with In-kyung these days?
Why are you so curious?
Well...
it's because she's my student.
Do night school teachers meddle in problems like this too?
I do.
I especially care about my student Kang In-kyung.
Especially?
With whose permission do you especially anything with her?
I know you're an educated person, so I'm just going to say this once.
Don't think about hurting my sister.
Hurt her?
Yes, don't mess with her heart by playing around with her.
Do I really look like I'm that bad of a person?
You can't tell a book by its cover.
Any which way...
If you even sort of hurt her feelings...
I'll come looking for you.
Don't you forget.
In-kyung's brother is really dependable.
Kang In-kyung!
If I don't drop charges, you're going straight to jail!
Yes, I have to tell her.
I have to tell In-kyung...
and ask her for her forgiveness.
In-kyung!
Oh you're home Keum-soon.
I thought you left before me today.
No, I left late.
You did? Let's go in.
In-kyung...
I have something to tell you.
-The loose change bag... -I wanted to talk to you about that too.
Keum-soon...
Manager Ko said she knew who the real thief was.
She said she saw the thief.
Manager Ko said that?
Yep.
I asked her who the thief was.
She says she's going to announce it in front of everyone tomorrow.
She seemed a little weird, but she didn't seem like she was lying.
Everyone? She's going to announce it in front of everyone in the company?
Yep.
If she does tomorrow, I'll prove my innocence for sure.
Don't you think?
In-kyung...
about that thief.
What? A thief?
Tell the truth right now.
Are you being called a thief at work In-kyung?
-What did you do? -I didn't do anything mom.
It's all a misunderstanding.
You just got hired and now you're being called a thief?
Wait a minute!
Are you going to get fired then?
Why would I get fired when I didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't steal it.
Right Keum-soon?
Yeah.
Mrs. Kang...
-It wasn't In-kyung. -That's what you guys think.
-What are we going to do if you get fired. -Mother!
In-kyung, someone's here for you.
Hey Han-soo.
In-kyung, how come you didn't go to night class tonight?
I went to go walk you home.
Night class?
You went to my night school?
Our little Han-soo went to your night school...
and brought home that good-looking teacher of yours.
Teacher?
I don't know why he would follow me all the way home!
Hurry and go, okay?
Hurry and come back In-kyung!
Dang! Why do you keep giving her the evil eye?
How is she ever going to go on a date while you breathe down her back?
I told you they're not dating!
Oh no! My sweet potato!
What a waste!
Han-soo! You feel like dying tonight?
What is this?
I made a list of all the problems that could be on the GED exam.
I know you're short on time since you're working too.
It should be some help.
You made this just for me?
Of course. I stayed up all night.
Thank you very much.
I waited to give this to you in class.
Were you too busy to come to class tonight?
Excuse me?
Yes.
There are some things going on at work.
I'd like to ask you what happened,
but I don't want to see you sad so I won't ask.
But!
You do remember that I said I was on your side no matter what?
Don't forget okay?
Okay, I'll remember.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
When you get upset,
pretend the list is me and look through it.
I bet you'll feel better then.
See, I already made you smile.
This is not a normal list of Q and A's.
You're right it's remarkable.
I guess I'll have to go now since I saw you smile today.
Good night.
Yes, you have a good night as well.
I'm going to say it in front of everyone in the company.
If that's the truth...
everything will be over tomorrow.
I really hope so.
Your resignation?
You said you were just going to scare her.
This isn't what you said.
What are you doing?
I'd rather quit.
Uh-oh...
It seems like you don't know, so let me fill you in.
This is all your fault. You started this.
You already burnt all your bridges when you stole that bag.
We're in the same boat.
One way or another, Manager Ko said she saw everything.
In-kyung's going to find out the truth now.
Oh dear.
What shall we do?
Really?
When Manager Ko gets here, it'll be be over with. Game over!
She didn't seem like she was lying last night.
Manager Ko may be insolent, but even she wouldn't lie about something like this.
I'm so happy for you.
Now you'll prove your innocence once and for all.
But...
why isn't she coming to work?
That's what I'm saying.
Why is she so late?
Manager Ko isn't coming to work today.
She's not coming to work?
-Why not? -Something came up for Manager Ko.
Then...
when will she return to work?
I wouldn't know that.
Kang In-kyung...
I know I said for you to not go on your route,
but it doesn't mean you get to sit around here all day!
Get some cleaning done!
This is so pitiful! This is beyond pitiful!
She's not giving a red penny for allowance!
What?
You want me to go out and find a job?
Anybody home?
Thank you, that was so refreshing. Madam.
Madam?
Would you like another glass of water?
Oh no no.
Wow...
you're very pretty now, but I bet you were beautiful back in the day.
Well, you're so young yet you're so precise.
I might be down and out these days,
but I came in third place for qualifying for Miss Bonghwa.
You qualified for third place for Miss Bonghwa?
Bronze medal?
That's what I thought!
I thought your facial features were extraordinary!
This little bottle...
is a cream just made for you Madam.
It's known as the noblewoman's cream.
Noble...noblewoman's cream?
Yes!
Approved by France
and made with the finest melan-colie.
What colie?
It's an ingredient that makes your skin taught!
The important thing is, this cream is usually $.20 per bottle.
But we're having a special event.
If you buy four, you get one bottle absolutely free!
Jeez Louis...
I don't have money to buy one bottle, how can I buy four?
My bronze medal madam doesn't have to buy one!
-Can you tell? -Woah! What did she do?
Hold on a minute!
How does it feel madam?
At first it feels like my whole face was in a rainstorm the way it moisturizes.
Then my skin turns plump and taught, like you could bounce a quarter off it.
Well honestly, it's just a miracle worker!
Wow! Is it really that great?
Her skin does look glossy!
This is just really...
a miracle!
Can I get one please?
Of course madam!
-Give me on too. -Of course of course!
-Me to me too! -Of course I can give one to you too!
-And me? -Here you go madam!
We're going to be pretty!
(Oh Keum-soon's Resignation Letter)
If you thought about your family depending on you and Mr. Huh,
you wouldn't be so rash as to bring this kind of letter to me.
Why is Keum-soon coming out of the production office?
What now?
I forgot to ask you something before.
What happened to your witness?
The truth is...
Manager Ko said...
she saw the thief.
Manager Ko did?
I was waiting for her since she said she would name the thief today.
What?
Hey!
If she saw the thief, why didn't she say anything before?
She said she saw the thief.
Woah woah!
You used your brain to think of how to blame an innocent person?
Do you...
remember this?
If you go to jail, Oh Keum-soon will work the rest of her life paying off your debt.
Don't mess with Keum-soon!
I'll take care of my debt.
If I have to go to jail, I'll go. So don't harass anyone else.
You think the world moves according to your calculations?
If you go to jail,
and Oh Keum-soon can't pay back your debt,
she's going straight to jail as well!
Mr. Byun!
Didn't I already tell you?
If you don't do what I tell you to, I'll harass everyone you care about!
It's not too late to change your mind right now.
Huh? If you just change your mind...
the loose change and your debt will all be gone in a second.
Mr. Byun...
Did you...
make all of this up...
so you could threaten me?
Wha...what are you talking about?
What I'm trying to say is...
if you changed your mind, I'd be willing to let bygones be bygones.
That's what I meant!
Hey hey In-kyung...
don't make things so complicated.
Put on a pretty dress and mingle with a couple of guys,
and everything will be over with.
You might never know, you could meet someone and change your life.
Who cares whether you become an actress or a bar waitress,
just as long as your life changes for the better!
How many times do I need to tell you?
I don't plan on changing my life in that way.
Oh boy...
you still got a long way to go.
You need to go to jail to fully understand the gravity of this situation, don't you?
Alright...
let's take this to the very end. Okay?
Take that you little brat In-kyung! Ha!
I made $.20 cents in just one day!
Oh that's so nice!
You looked like you couldn't even eat.
Take a bite.
I bought it for you.
I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry.
I'll eat it later.
Is it because of In-kyung?
I'm so worried.
You look so worried too.
But, who in the world is harassing In-kyung like this?
Whoever it is, they're hurting your feelings like this as well.
They're going to go straight to hell!
They'll go...
straight to hell.
Of course they will. For sure.
I really don't know what to do.
Don't pay too much attention to it Keum-soon.
Damn...
my poor Keum-soon looks so stressed because of that thief.
We might not be able to catch the thief,
but people who bring so much pain to others...
will suffer the consequences. I know for sure.
(Movie Production Project: "Youth")
I've never thought of this as a movie.
Well, you can start thinking about it now.
-You think it's a good idea? -Of course!
They're going to invest in our play, why would we let of that opportunity?
Really?
Then let's think about it.
Are you guys talking about Baekdu Movie Productions Company?
Are you taking the offer?
Woah woah!
Director Cha Min-woo says he's going to think about it.
What?
You're going to delay the movie because of that play>
Yes.
I proposed Cha Min-woo make a success out of the play first...
then we could make it into a movie.
Are you out of...
I know you're started a project behind my back.
But...
I'm sorry father, but "Youth"...
I can't give up on it.
Jung-ho, you knew everything about it?
Then what about me?
I already told everyone that I'm going to star in another movie.
Why are you asking him?
And that's not important right now.
When did you start taking your husband's side?
Fine then.
If you want to do "Youth" so much, go ahead.
I'll postpone the project I was working on for awhile.
President Nam!
-Father... -But if anything goes wrong...
you'll give up your position as CEO. Do you understand?
Of course I know.
Thank you father.
It's a little too early for thank yous.
But...
you'll get rid of the play.
What are you saying?
Steal the original or do whatever, but only make the movie version!
If you're going to trust me...
then trust me to do it my way please.
I'll take it we're on the same page...
Have a good night.
I was clear about not supporting the play. You got it?
Good night father.
You...
How can I help you?
Is there a Cha Min-woo here?
Why are you out here?
Well someone is here to meet Min-woo.
They're talking inside.
Who is it?
The thing is...
What do you mean Mr. Nam Tae-jun?
If I don't give up my original playwright, you'll stop my play.
Quietly hand over your original playwright.
Mr. Nam Jung-ho stated he would base his movie on our play and...
Our movie company will not invest in some hokey pokey play.
I am the president of the company and all final decisions are made by me.
So, say it now.
How much for you to hand over the original playwright?
The two of you are talking about totally opposite things.
I think I made myself clear about selling this play.
That play...
is a promise made with my colleagues to make it into a play.
-Please leave now. -A what?
A promise?
Because of your so-called promise, you can't make any money.
And you're being stubborn for no reason at all?
The promise I made has...
tremendous value to me!
Is that so?
Then I guess I can't help you.
Might as well keep loyalty since you got nothing else.
Hey!
Are you okay?
Of course I'm fine.
The father and son must not talk to one another.
They're totally on different sides.
-Min-woo. -Oh hey there.
What's going on?
Who came to visit here?
They want me to give up my original playwright.
If I don't give it up, he's going to stop me from opening up the play.
Jung-ho?
No way Jung-ho would...
-So what did you say? -I told him to mind his own business.
I'm going to make sure it's a play.
-You don't think anything will go wrong do you? -No way...
Don't worry about it, he was just trying to scare us.
A high-status person like that doesn't come to the slums to just scare people.
Who came here? Who threatened you?
It's not Baekdu Movie Productions... Is it?
It's not Baekdu Movie Productions...
or is it Baekdu Movie Productions?
Let's just go to rehearsal. At this rate, we might not have a show.
But wait...
Cha Min-woo that bastard!
He's seriously not going to sue Baekdu?
Damn it.
Is he a scared wimp or a fool who can't calculate?
I wanted to use him to get to Baekdu, but he's not helping at all.
I don't think he understands sir.
You think?
Then let's teach him how to understand.
You know what I mean right?
Yes.
I know very well.
Don't be too rough where people start to talk.
Just help him open his eyes.
That way he can see what we're talking about.
In-kyung! In-kyung!
Yes?
What? Is there something wrong?
Manager Ko is here.
I'm telling you Manager Ko is here!
Is she really here?
Manager Ko.
Hi Assistant Kang.
Did you clean the floors today? They look so dusty.
Manager Ko...
why were you so late today? I waited all day long for you.
For me?
Why would you wait for me?
What?
What do you mean why?
You said you saw the thief who stole the money.
You said you'd let me know at work today.
Oh boy! Looks like we got tipsy today.
Yep... just a little...
Of course. Drinks are nice sometimes.
But... you know your mom?
Is she still in the hospital?
I heard you are responsible for all her expensive medical bills.
Excuse me?
Yes...
she's in the hospital.
Oh my! Then...
it would be really hard on you if you got fired.
I can't get fired sir. I wouldn't be able to survive!
Okay okay...
then let me ask you a question.
Manager Ko...
did you really see the person who stole the loose change bag?
Did you see the thief?
Did you see the thief that wasn't Kang In-kyung?
No.
No, I didn't see anything. Nothing at all.
The loose change thief is who you pointed out. It's Kang In-kyung.
Right?
Of course it is.
You know...
why don't you visit your mom tomorrow?
You should buy some fruits on the way there. Here you go.
Thank you.
If I did see the thief, don't you think I would've called the police?
Instead of telling you about it?
I went drinking last night, maybe I said it because I was drunk.
What?
Because you were drunk?
You're getting me pissed!
There are things you can't say even if you're drunk!
You must've been crazy to utter such words!
Bae Choon-ja!
Did you just call me crazy?
Huh?
Manager Ko please don't do this.
Please think about it again carefully.
You definitely told me you saw the thief last night.
What are you going?
You know how important this is to me.
Where do you get off trying to blame your guilt on innocent people?
Let go of me!
Please, think about it again carefully.
I said let go of me!
Oh no! In-kyung!
Jeez...
You're hanging your hopes on someone's drunk spiel?
You really are a sight for sore eyes.
Assistant Bae! Aren't you going on your route today?
I'm going to go.
I'm going to go, but In-kyung is...
Get out of here!
Okay, I'm leaving...
I'm leaving.
Can I get a word Manager Ko?
Yes sir.
I'm not a thief.
I'm not.
It's okay because I'm not a thief.
No matter what anyone says, I'm innocent.
Han-soo let's go! You're going to be late for school.
I'm going.
Hurry!
-Mom! -What?
My face is totally illuminated right?
My skin turned out like this when I put on a $.20 cent noblewoman's cream.
It's not illuminating, it's on fire.
What? What?
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
What's all this? What going on?
She said French noblewomen use this cream.
Melan-colie or something cream...
Boy, I don't know what's in there. I just know you've been had.
Hurry and put some medication on. Bye!
I was so happy thinking I made money! I'm ruined!
This is horrendous.
The breeze is nice today.
In-kyung...
are you okay?
Keum-soon...
do you remember that place?
Was it the year you were graduating from junior high?
I think it was around this time of year.
We went to go play and we chased butterflies around all day and...
We couldn't find our way back home.
I remember.
Do you remember the buckwheat field?
The buckwheat field was so large.
It was so beautiful because of the buckwheat flowers were in bloom.
As soon as you saw it, you yelled out, "It's snow!".
And you yelled out, "It's salt!".
I think I might really go to jail.
What?
Why?
Did Mr. Byun really say he's going to send you to jail?
For people like us, even when we're innocent we could end up in jail.
I might not know the world a whole lot, but I know that much.
In-kyung...
Can't you just apologize and ask him to forgive you?
Tell him you're willing to do anything.
How can you go to jail?
Keum-soon...
if I do...
everything...
he says...
living would be jail for me.
I can't live my life in a prison like that.
In-kyung...
I wanted...
to take you, Han-soo and my mom...
to that buckwheat field just one more time.
If I go to jail...
I'll regret not going there with you guys the most.
What are we going to do?
What are we really going to do
They're going straight to hell.
People who are mean to other people like this...
will suffer the consequences.
'All goo' is what makes the driver's assistant stand out...
All good...
All good!
Hurry up and go in!
Oh no...
what's going on over there?
But the looks of it, Keum-soon is being forced in there.
How are they planning to harass her now?
No...what am I going to do?
In-kyung! In-kyung!
Are you back from your route Choon-ja?
I think something might happen to Keum-soon.
What are you talking about?
To Keum-soon? Why?
You Mr. Byun's assistant. That dark and scary looking guy?
He was forcing Keum-soon into the office while staring her down.
What?
What did I say?
If you don't listen to me, I'm going to harass everyone you care about.
He wouldn't do something to Keum-soon...
Keum-soon!
What did you say?
Say it again for me.
Why do you keep harassing her when it's me you need to deal with.
Then ask her for yourself.
-I think you'll need to use it instead of me. -You mean our daily log?
That's right, our daily log.
If you look at the daily log, you'll see I can't be the thief.
In-kyung will finally prove her innocence!
Mr. Nam is the one who lied.
I'm going to Baekdu Movie Productions.
Mr. Nam Jung-ho! Did you really lie?
You need to at least let me know why you're doing this to me.
