(EPISODE 13)
Where are you?
Me? I'm at the office.
I'm on my way to where you told me.
By yourself?
Mr. Bae will suspect you when I'm finished.
Watch out for yourself. I'm hanging up.
The legendary Ko Nan Gil is on his way here.
- Get ready. - Yes, Sir.
Let's go.
Do you really want to find your father?
(GYEONGGI-DO NURSING HOME)
Hong Na Ri.
I'm Kim Jung Sook. I'm the one that called.
You can ask your father what our relationship is.
When he fell from the rooftop, he hurt his leg.
His eyes got bad as well.
He hasn't stepped out for five years from this place.
All he did was work.
Nan Gil.
I love you.
I never once imagined...
hearing you say you love me.
Thank you.
What's this?
I never once imagined...
making you cry.
I'm sorry.
We've closed all the doors except for the front.
No matter what he offers,
Nan Gil will die today.
Do you want to know what his legend is?
There is no such thing.
Block him!
No, no.
No.
No, no.
Hello.
Mr. Bae,
Ko Nan Gil...
took the secret ledger.
What?
Wan Shik... Where is Wan Shik?
Nan Gil suddenly came here and attacked Lawyer Kim.
Nan Gil isn't coming here.
Everyone to the club in Cheongdam-dong! Now!
Yes, Sir.
(DA DA FINANCE)
- Hey, hurry up! - Okay.
Sign it.
You are now...
Da Da Finance's CEO.
Go to prison for a couple of years,
and Da Da will be yours when you get out.
You should do this much...
for your old man.
Father?
What a joke.
Turn the car around.
The Na Ri you dream about every night...
Hong Na Ri is here.
I called her.
I'll wait outside.
You two can talk...
as much as you want.
Why did you bother coming here?
You should have considered me dead.
Then you should have made sure no one could reach you.
You sound smart...
just like your mother.
I...
can't see very well.
My goodness.
You're so beautiful.
I'm the one to blame.
I'm sorry.
I pick up after the elderly just waiting to die...
while reflecting on my own life.
You should forget about me and move on.
I can't forgive you for leaving Mom and me.
However,
I'm thankful...
that you're alive.
(LOCKER)
The number you have dialed is not available.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Na Ri, were you here all night?
Let's talk.
I made time just to see you.
I came knowing you won't greet me.
Don't say a word.
I have nothing to say to you and I can't hear anything.
Fine.
Why... Why isn't anyone picking up?
What do they want me to do?
Gosh.
(CLOSED)
- What is it? - It's closed?
- Why? - It's closed today?
- Why are they closed? - What?
- I was waiting in line. - What is this?
- I'm sorry. - What is this?
- I'm sorry. - Tell the owner to come out.
Hey, tell the owner to come out.
- I'll bring my boss. - Hurry up.
- This is ridiculous. - What are they doing?
Bring the owner.
How can Boss stab me in the back?
I'll make him compensate for psychological damages.
I love you, clouds like cotton candy.
I love you, hidden wild flowers.
I love you, sunlight reflected on the lake.
I love you, tall trees.
Will you marry me?
With suspicions of performing illegal loan services,
Da Da Finance was under the first investigation.
As the second investigation took place, it was found...
to be using fake accounts for money laundering.
Through their customer services line,
they acted as a broker to illegal gambling.
The police are searching for the CEO, Kim Wan Shik.
Wan Shik...
must have hated the idea of going to jail for me.
He ended up holding hands...
with his arch enemy, Nan Gil.
Kim Wan Shik is wanted by the police,
and he cannot leave the country.
Ko Nan Gil was hurt.
We'll search hospitals first.
He took it while risking his life.
It won't be easy getting it back.
Get Wan Shik.
We have to beat him...
to make Nan Gil come in on his own.
Okay.
How dare he put a knife...
in his father's throat?
I'll pay him back for certain.
I'm sorry. Please wait.
We'll be back soon. I'm really sorry.
Enjoy. Thank you.
What happened?
Boss, Joon, and Hani aren't here.
No one is picking up.
I'll hand out dumpling samples at least.
Here you go. Enjoy!
I'm really sorry. I'll give three pieces each...
so that everyone can try it.
Have a taste...
and come back next time. Thank you.
I'll help.
Thank you. Here.
Enjoy.
That's tiring.
Can't you make dumplings?
I can. I make them well.
- Then the two of us can do it. - Okay.
Aren't you in your teens?
Everything seems possible, doesn't it?
Is Nan Gil not here yet?
It's not just Nan Gil.
Joon and Hani are out of reach as well.
They all work as a team.
I remember it all so clearly.
I tried telling myself that I didn't kill him.
But...
I can't forgive myself for even being there.
- I want you to take care of it. - Okay.
- Bye. - Thank you.
I see you holding car keys. Are you going to Seoul?
Perfect. I'll come with you.
Yeo Joo, it's obvious you're coming on to me.
Why do you keep denying it?
You know that I'm not into you, right?
Neither am I.
I came to talk to Na Ri, but I failed.
Why are you talking rude to me?
Why did you come here then?
To give you information about Na Ri.
Ko Nan Gil disappeared.
- And? - The restaurant is closed.
They're closed for the day.
So many people showed up because of the show,
but they were turned away.
What about Na Ri?
Well,
I have a feeling she knew he was going to disappear.
- Hello? - You leave me speechless.
They call it "Fake Dumplings", not "Hong Dumplings".
How can you guys close the day right after...
- the show airs? - Well, the thing is...
Let me talk to your boss.
Our website is paralyzed. It's a mess.
You're going to ruin our show. We might be canceled.
What are you going to do?
- We had no choice today... - Make those dumplings.
Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings!
All right. Yes, yes.
What are you going to do?
I don't know what it is, but is Boss...
usually irresponsible like this?
Is he an onion?
There are so many layers I don't know about him.
He'll be here.
Pardon?
Nan Gil will come back.
I asked myself why I came all the way here...
when no one wants to see me.
I must have wanted to apologize to Na Ri.
But I failed.
Whenever I see her, I don't want to say sorry.
Do you like her or hate her, or are you jealous?
Figure out how you feel for her first.
Do you think I'd have so many feelings inside?
For a woman?
Where did Nan Gil go anyway?
The worst thing a man could do after a fight...
is to run away and stay out of reach.
He'll be back soon.
If he doesn't, that means something happened.
Come back, Nan Gil.
I'll do anything you say if you would just come back.
Come back, Nan Gil.
Hey, are you okay?
- What about the ledger? - We moved it.
Why are you here?
No, they told you not to move.
What about the restaurant?
Well...
- Let's go. - Nan Gil...
I get worse if I'm away from Hong Dumplings.
Boss says this is too bland.
- What's wrong with it? - Is Nan Gil back?
- My goodness. - Where is he?
Were you so busy you couldn't tell me he's back?
Well... Boss told me not to bring it up.
We were actually busy preparing for tomorrow.
The writers will sue us if we close tomorrow, too.
- Why is it so dark in here? - Don't turn it on.
Talk with Duk Bong regarding the property.
Keep this well with you.
- Tell me to turn on the light. - What?
I promised in my prayer...
that I'd do anything you say if you came back.
Tell me to turn on the light. I have to talk to you.
No, don't turn it on.
I met my father.
You were right.
He was alive. My father's alive.
What happened?
Did you really see him?
Where? How?
Are you sure?
What happened? What did you do?
What have you been doing since last night?
Where did you get this? What were you doing?
- I'm fine. - Don't say that. I'm not fine.
Why are you doing this to me?
Is it because of me? Is it because of my dad?
What did you do?
Just stay still. Don't say a word.
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
I had something to take care of.
It's all over now. It's all settled.
While running my errands,
you didn't make the secret ledger...
as your insurance, did you?
I've worked for you for years.
Why would I need such a thing, Sir?
What about our land?
I've passed over what Ko Nan Gil had...
to the prosecutors.
- You won't have to... - Since when...
did you keep your words?
I hear Nan Gil used to be your son.
You're allowed to do whatever you want with your son.
Get rid of him...
like the old way.
I'm preparing for it.
Have you calmed down? Can I ask now?
Did you really see your father?
Where is he?
Who told you?
I'm positive. I really saw him.
I won't tell anyone where he is for the time being.
The lady who's in touch with him...
called me after seeing the show.
He asked her to come to the dumpling place at times.
But...
how did she get my number?
Why did you go alone?
She said to come alone.
I assume because he's living in hiding.
From now on,
if someone tells you to come alone, don't go.
Tell me.
Who's worrying about whom right now?
If this happens again, I won't talk to you again.
Did you see a doctor?
Yes.
I'll go easy on you because you're hurt.
I wasn't in my right mind earlier.
You should rest.
The phrase you fear the most. "Let's talk later."
I'm grateful.
I'm so grateful...
that he's alive.
I told him that.
I thanked him for being alive.
Rest. I'll go now.
Na Ri.
Can't you stay with me?
I'm injured.
Goodness. What a loving father and daughter.
It's making me emotional.
So? Did you act like you had health issues?
Didn't your daughter tell you to come home?
Hey! It's been 20 years. Why would we talk about that?
I'd be a burden.
I wonder if the dumpling place owner will come.
The Da Da Finance punks told me...
that he was acting like her stepdad...
and took the land.
Stop your nonsense!
They said that every time they came.
Those punks were the thugs from back then.
I can tell from the TV show.
Really?
That's great.
We have a way to kick him out.
If a dangerous thug is living with your daughter,
you, as her father, should go and protect her.
That looks much better.
I won't go.
I...
have committed too many sins.
Let's see what happens.
I'll watch and see.
Lie down.
Should I read you a bedtime story?
Yes, please.
A long time ago...
A long, long time ago, lived a legendary Ko Nan Gil.
That isn't a children's story.
He supposedly could fight 100 men and win.
I want to rest.
But he always had good taste since he was a child...
and fell for a pretty girl named Hong Na Ri.
What a show-off.
Even while he was dating,
he continued to fight 100 to 1 or something.
Fine.
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
Promise.
I'll be meaner next time.
Does it hurt? It does, doesn't it?
No. I'm scared...
that Na Ri will be disappointed in me.
I'm scared, too.
Of what?
That you'd be disappointed if you knew me better.
Do you think there's more that I don't know?
Close your eyes. Stop talking back to me.
I'm trying to put you to sleep.
Even if you tell me a scary story,
it's nice hearing your voice.
I came early today...
- Oh my gosh! - Gosh!
Welcome!
I mean, hello. Hello.
No, I was...
Dumplings. Dumplings. Dumplings. Dumplings.
Dumplings. Dumplings.
Boss! I came on time this morning!
- Hello. Good morning. - Hi.
- Did you see the comments online? - Naturally.
They're going crazy about how handsome you are.
You saw, too.
- Hey, it's me. - Come in.
Here.
Here's a copy.
Thanks.
It's your first time here, right?
I'm sure you're not here to look around.
- Are you here about the land? - Duk Bong.
Don't you have something to tell me about the land?
I'm not sure if you're staying quiet because you don't,
but let's settle the land matter just between us.
The two of us?
These are transactions between Greenland and Da Da.
(GREENLAND)
Our chairman is in trouble.
So?
Are you saying you won't sell your land...
to a family this dirty?
I have a ledger with proof.
I'm threatening you.
I don't know where you got this, but this...
is how you did things before, right?
What do you do if threats don't work? I wonder.
We said we'd pay off the debt!
But Da Da refused because of your father.
That's why Na Ri was almost hurt. You know that.
Give me the original first.
I'm her neighborhood friend after all.
Can't you trust me?
Resolve it with your father.
And make sure Bae Byung Woo can't run away.
What's this about Da Da Finance?
First, illegally dumping waste and loan sharking.
Now, you partnered up with a thug?
What a disgusting family.
Is there anything else I don't know?
We should talk about these things in person!
Why are you calling?
I'll just live alone.
I'll send Duk Shim back to Seoul,
so let's not be family anymore.
Kim Wan Shik, the CEO of Da Da, still can't be found.
The police have submitted his name to border control.
They searched Da Da Finance's office...
and reported those involved.
The prosecutor is focusing on the countless...
fake bank accounts...
Fine.
Mr. Bae sent out the boys and is tracking your phone.
Don't talk for too long.
He'll track burner phones, too.
Will you be okay?
I don't think you can last too long.
It's Nan Gil.
Have you decided yet?
About what?
You should turn yourself in.
If you drag it out, Mr. Bae may run away.
Wow. Nan Gil.
I told you where the ledger was and helped...
I don't consider it help.
You used me to get free from Mr. Bae.
I risked my life to take it.
Call me when you decide.
(HONG DUMPLINGS)
What's going on?
Why are you packing my things?
Ms. Kwon. Can't you send away one kid quietly?
I've been behaving. We're siblings.
We're not siblings. We don't share any blood.
What's wrong with you?
I'm going to cut off my father, family, everything.
I won't go to that stupid house!
The older ones always fight and break things.
They are mean to Mom. It's scary. I hate it.
If you're going to send me there, I'll just leave here.
I'll take her to my house for now.
Come out!
Good. I'm taking the day off.
You haven't been needed in a while.
Give me your car key.
- You're going to drive? - You're going to drive?
I've never had an accident.
- Give it to me. - But...
I'll return it in one piece.
Wow. He's so tough.
Whatever it is, I feel so relieved.
Okay! These are serious times,
and I have been entrusted to run the shop.
Please follow my lead. Got that?
- Let's take a break. - Okay.
My car...
They can't even fight. Darn it.
Why are you dressed like that?
Change and come out.
- What about the shop? - We need to go somewhere.
- Where? - Please.
I'm sure I did everything you asked.
You even swore to do what I ask.
Please get in.
Can you drive?
Are you holding onto your seatbelt? You don't trust me?
Don't worry. I used to drive well.
I can do anything well now.
Where are we going?
I went to your mother early this morning.
I told her that you met your dad...
and what I'm going to be doing.
What will you be doing?
Did you say bye to Mom or something?
Why would I say bye? I said I'd come more often.
I guess my stepdad is in a good mood.
You found your father. Stop calling me "stepdad".
Why? Why can't I call my stepdad, "stepdad"?
Nan Gil. What are you preparing for?
To say goodbye?
I wonder at times like this...
what you're thinking while looking out the window.
Is it bad? I get curious.
Fine. I won't get hurt.
I promise.
Okay?
Unpack Duk Shim's things please.
Yes, Sir.
(CHAIRMAN KWON)
(COLD MEDICINE)
(DUK BONG)
Hello?
You know I paid the fine at the police station, right?
I'm grateful.
Pay me back.
Look, you wealthy cheapskate.
Send me your account number.
What's your schedule like?
I just got to Seoul, so I'll have the day off.
Then come here.
If you miss me, you should come here. Why should I go?
Did you catch a cold?
It's still in the early stage.
I had a favor to ask, but just rest.
If I do the favor, will you call it even with the fine?
I'll do it even if you don't, so take some medicine.
What is the favor?
(NAPPING REST STOP)
Here.
Back when I used to fight, I'd come here and sleep.
"Napping rest stop".
Just the name of it makes you sleepy.
Keep it up.
Don't stop the hour a day to get to know me.
Rather than being afraid of the past getting out,
it's better to know everything about each other.
It's weird having you quiet.
You're making me lose courage.
Gosh, it's hot.
I thought I was protecting you,
but you were protecting me.
When I was so tired that I thought I'd die,
I'd sneak a peek at you and feel better.
I had a Hong Na Ri rest stop.
But whatever. You were always with someone.
You must've skipped classes to go play.
I waited in front of your classes but couldn't see you.
Hey, we agreed not to drudge up our past.
Let's go see your father.
Why do you want to see my father?
Do you want to discuss your daughter's custody?
Should we? Should I say you're mine?
That he left you for 20 years, but I never left you?
You really are energetic.
To be honest, I wondered how to deal with my dad.
Even I could hear your concerns.
Liar.
Let's ask what your father wants and then decide.
(GYEONGGI-DO NURSING HOME)
What is it?
Nothing.
Let's go in.
Wait.
How do I look?
You look like the legendary Ko Nan Gil.
Don't be nervous.
You're not his son-in-law introducing himself.
A stepdad is also a dad. You're equals.
Let's go.
- Ko Ran Gil. - It's Nan Gil.
Nan Gil, my neck hurts.
Sit down.
Yes, Sir.
Why are you so tall?
We didn't care about height in our generation.
We came to take you home.
My goodness. Whatever.
If I go there,
Bae Byung Woo will kill me.
It's okay. Da Da Finance will be done for soon.
Da Da Finance?
I'm talking about Bae Byung Woo.
Bae Byung Woo is the CEO of Da Da Finance.
What? Bae Byung Woo is the CEO of a finance company?
That punk con artist...
is no finance company CEO!
I won't...
leave this place.
Just come see me once in a while.
Let's be satisfied with that.
Hey.
What's your relationship with her?
I'm dressed like this in this cold...
and sitting here with you.
I'll consider it paying back my loan.
Your brother said to come home.
Your brother said...
he's a man, so he doesn't understand how you feel.
Hey! Are you ignoring me?
I came this far.
What's your problem?
You'll end up like me.
You'll have no friends,
want what others have,
and always feel empty inside.
You won't enjoy anything,
or believe it when someone says he likes you.
You know you're pretty,
but wonder how long it'll last.
And then, eventually,
you won't know who you are.
It's so annoying.
Did you come to comfort me or be comforted?
What is it now?
Wait.
I'm going to work.
I'll go home once I'm done.
Forget her.
What's wrong with you?
I acted, pretending my sister ran away from home.
She says she'll go home.
Yeo Joo.
I really want to hold onto Na Ri. What should I do?
Pretend you didn't hear that. I'm not doing so well.
Your competitiveness must finally be kicking in...
for your boring love triangle.
Drive me to the terminal.
I got your sister to go home after all.
Let's visit him often.
Where are we going?
You must be tired.
I'm sure you are. Let's go home.
You're tired, right?
Why do you keep asking if I'm tired? It's tiring.
Let's have popcorn and watch a movie.
Let's have cake and drink coffee.
- Let's go to a tent bar... - And have soju.
That's the blessing in winter.
Let's have fishcakes with free soup refills.
What?
Something average couples do.
Hey. We're not in a relationship to do that.
I don't mean to show off,
- but I did... - Everything I asked?
So you know.
- Do you have a secret ledger? - What?
You should jot down everything I asked for in a ledger.
Chairman Kwon is here.
Keep it down. Wait outside.
Don't act serious and tell me.
Things may get a little complicated.
You need to tell me in detail so that I...
There's no detail to tell!
Father!
I'm using my money.
Yes, it's embezzlement.
Recently,
Da Da Finance asked for some money...
You collected interest and laundered money.
I used it for the business.
Bribery and possible arms dealings.
Your dad...
traveled to talk to his son who won't take his calls.
Must I put up with this?
I heard they're searching Da Da Finance.
What about the evidence? Do they have it?
Bae Byung Woo said there's no ledger.
You know there is.
Here. Look.
It isn't recent.
The relationship with Da Da went on for years!
(GREENLAND)
Look.
Do you know how degraded I feel?
I feel like I'm going to lose my mind!
Who is it? Who gave this to you?
I need to know so that I can take care of him!
Father,
please do as I say this time.
Hurry it up.
Here.
Make me look pretty.
Kiss me on the cheek.
- Come on. - Hurry.
You do it.
One, two, three.
You do it.
Let's take another one.
One, two, three.
- Okay. - Let me see.
Hold on.
I guess this is all there is to do at this hour.
It feels weird, not drinking at a tent bar.
How's work going?
What work?
You're always on your laptop in your room.
I'm playing.
I can't play dumb anymore.
When I was young,
I knew my dad wanted to leave.
He spent more time with me,
smiled more for me,
and bought me many gifts.
I liked it, but I was nervous.
I realized after he left...
that I knew he was going to leave.
Nan Gil.
Are you leaving me?
Why would I?
Then why are you acting strong and cheerful today?
I'm not acting. I'm usually strong and cheerful.
Why are you doing this?
To be honest,
there's something I haven't been able to say today.
What is it?
Na Ri.
Now that you found your real father,
I want to be a normal guy to you.
Just as you said,
I want to date, love,
get married, and have kids.
Let's date...
as a normal couple who can do anything.
Na Ri. Why won't you give me an answer?
Is this the car?
- Yes, it is. - Search it.
He left his phone.
What about the dash cam?
There's no memory card.
Check every motel in the area!
Yes, Sir.
They found Wan Shik's car. His phone was in the car.
Mr. Kim, who follows him around.
You can't reach him, either?
Go after their family and friends...
until you find something.
Yes, Sir. We will.
What's going on with the prosecution?
The documents they have are serious.
I think our computer was hacked.
Can you fix it?
Some documents are old, so Wan Shik won't suffice.
You should hide...
Nan Gil.
It's healing nicely.
Thanks for visiting my dad when you're not even well.
Let me see the pictures from tonight.
What is this?
- Who's this ugly thing? - What? She's pretty.
I look at those pictures whenever I miss her.
No. Delete them. Let's delete them.
- Give it to me. - No way.
Let's start as a normal couple who can do anything.
Let's do that.
Let's start as a normal couple now.
I'm sorry it took so long to get here.
It's cold. Go in.
I want to watch you go in.
I'm going to watch you go in.
Then let's just keep standing here.
You're so childish.
Welcome back to the childish world.
(SWEET STRANGER AND ME)
Must I kill you?
Do you think I'll leave Na Ri alone?
Please stop.
Think about who will lose more.
Don't you get it? Your men are with Mr. Bae now.
You have no one on your side.
Turn yourself in. I'll help you when you get out.
I'm giving up on building a resort on your land.
Let's fight against my family.
You were happy when we went biking together, remember?
How about now? Are you happy being here?
You remember me, don't you? You're Bae Byung Woo's son.
- You did this to my eyes. - I'm sorry.
I won't live there with you.
I never got to say this. I'm sorry.
Nan Gil, thank you for being my stepdad.
