We're home after a long day at work, mother.
Good job. You checked the figures correctly?
Of course.
- We're home. - We're...
Sweetie...
Dad. Dad!
What's that in your hand?
It's... it's nothing.
Um, mother?
Honey.
I need you to come with me.
Where we going? Right now? In the cold?
Dress warmly and come out.
Sweetie?
Any idea what's with him?
Maybe that's his way of wanting to spend time with you?
Dress warmly and follow me. Very cool.
Mom, did you mess up again?
Mess up? What do you take me for?
No need to yell...
- Geez, you should've said something! - Bad timing to talk about the car.
Good, your fever seems to be gone.
- I'm back. - Welcome home.
I took it off the wall.
- Mother... - You're moving too fast.
Take it one step at a time.
You told me that people see what they want to believe.
I want to believe in my husband.
He can handle these, no problem.
Give him a chance.
If you wanted to go on a date you should've just asked me directly.
Were you too shy to ask me in front of the kids?
Well then, pour me a shot.
- Time to send him away. - Send him away? Who?
The kid. I'm talking about Bi-an.
Send him away where? He has nowhere to go.
- He must have some distant relatives. - What?
What's with you, all of a sudden?
You haven't worked nearly at all since he showed up.
Geez, that's what this is about? Fine, I'll work hard starting tomorrow.
I'll work super hard. Satisfied?
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to tell Hong-jin to take Bi-an to his father.
I won't allow it.
- Won't allow it? - That's right. I'm not letting him go.
Why are you being such a meanie about this?
He has nowhere to go, no one to look after him.
Don't you feel sorry for the little thing?
Tell me, who's Hwang Jeong-gu?
Who?
Why... is my bankbook... in your pocket?
Answer me.
Who's this Hwang Jeong-gu and why'd you send him money every month?
Ho-gu.
Spill it!
Hey, you think that makes any sense at all?
And why doesn't it?
Someone I know has a sterile son.
Coincidentally I had a friend whose daughter had a baby she couldn't raise.
All I did was introduce them.
So why are you sending them money?
That's not my money!
My friend wanted me to pass it on to help in raising the baby.
I was just the liaison!
Alright then, take him to your friend's house.
No way! The daughter's happily married now.
Let me keep him a bit longer. His adopted family'll come for him soon.
- You swear you're telling the truth? - If it's a lie...
what, you think the kid's mine?
If that's what you wanna believe, fine, he's my hidden son!
Satisfied?
Hold on! Sit, sit down.
The wife you don't trust is leaving now. You can drink on your own!
Honey. Honey!
Something's not right.
This is not good. Not good at all.
Were you waiting for me in the cold?
Yes.
I was uneasy because it was so dark, but I felt loads better after seeing you.
Eun-young, I will wait every day.
No, don't. I'll be the one waiting for you.
I'll keep waiting as you learn things one step at a time.
Oh dear.
I think it was a bad idea after all.
Enough. I told you to trust me.
You witnessed earlier how I handled your mother.
How'd you do it? You holding something over her?
- Can I help it that she loves me? - Ahem.
Something smells fishy.
Well if it isn't my beautiful mother-in-law.
About a car, I picked one out that is perfect for you.
- Here, check this out. - Out.
Excuse me?
You wanna go out and see it? It's right outside...
Get out this instant!
- Mom... - And take her with you!
You shouldn't say that. I could spill the beans about Bi-an.
- Get out! Get out now! - Mom, calm down!
- Out! I want you out! - Please, mother, please!
- Feeling any better? - Yes.
All thanks to Eun-young.
Then I'm grateful to her. Be sure to go to the hospital today.
I will.
If you're grateful to her, you should buy dinner sometime.
Or a gift would be nice, too.
Really, is that necessary?
We have to win brownie points with her. After all, she's probably a bit upset.
She's upset? With me?
She would never say so directly.
But you're so cold towards her, it's a little unsettling actually.
Never mind.
I just think you should watch yourself and make sure you're not too rude to her.
Fine, whatever.
Where are my socks and handkerchiefs?
Can't you see?
I laid them on my make-up stand for you.
Right, I see them.
What you up to?
Talking to the fish.
What did they say?
Fish do not talk.
You're right. What a silly question.
Here, this is for you.
Every time you do something nice I'm going to stick a sticker in there.
Stick a sticker.
What prize shall I give you if you fill that whole book?
Is there anything you want? Something you've always wanted?
For Eun-young... not to be sad.
Eun-young is not sad. Eun-young is happy.
That's it? That's what you want?
Okay. Then what can I do for you?
I can fulfill a wish of yours.
Fulfill a wish.
Right, you fed the fish this morning. That's a sticker for you.
When the notebook is full, Eun-young is happy.
Eun-young will fulfill my wish.
What do you mean Shin-woo didn't get on the plane?
Didn't you make sure she was on it? How could you screw up like this?
No, she had no intention of leaving.
Search her usual hangouts and check her credit card usage.
Bye.
Wait, so Shin-woo didn't...
That's right. Seems she's still in Korea.
I need to go get some rest.
You're plain jealous.
You don't want to lose Hyeong-woo to her.
You little...!
Go ahead.
It won't be the first time you hit me for no reason because of Hyeong-woo.
Come in.
What is it?
- I'm sorry. - For what?
I should've worked things out with her.
You honestly think you did something wrong?
You're my daughter-in-law.
Don't get into the habit of apologizing and bowing your head all the time.
I won't.
Oh my, hold on a sec. You heading out?
Yes, I have an errand to run.
But you're still sick. Jeong-woo told me to take care of you.
- He did? - Yup.
The same guy who doesn't bat an eye when I claim to be on my deathbed.
- So are you jealous? - Like I'd be jealous.
Your father-in-law used to handfeed me my medicine when I was sick.
Of that I'm really jealous.
There aren't many women out there as loved as I once was.
Here, I'll take that.
Wait... does that mean you're discontent with Jeong-woo?
Absolutely not.
He doesn't talk much, I give you that. It's a Korean guy thing.
- Is it? - Darn right it is.
Speaking between us,
it's better than living with Hyeong-woo like Eun-young does.
I'll take this one.
- It's a gift. Please wrap it nicely. - Yes, ma'am.
A gift for who?
- My sister-in-law. - Ah, the ex-nurse?
Is it her birthday?
No, it's a thank you gift for looking after me when I was sick.
That's not such a big deal. You've gotta stop being so darn polite.
You may be right.
You want one? I'll buy it for you.
How's this one?
- I don't need one. - But it looks good.
- I want this one, too. - Sure, ma'am.
I'd better buy something for my mother-in-law, too.
- I'll take it. - Yes, ma'am.
Hold on, lemme see that one.
I'll take this one, too.
Can you excuse us for a second?
- Come with me. - Where?
C'mon already.
Ring those up. I'll be right back.
Spill it.
Spill what?
The reason you're suddenly a rich ditz with a limitless credit card.
Nothing gets by you.
That's what I am. A ditz with a credit card.
What is it? You having problems at home?
- Nope. - Then...
Is your mother-in-law nagging you about having a baby?
Wrong again.
Shall I not ask and just pretend not to notice?
You've heard of Pandora's box, right?
Pandora's box?
Yeah.
I want to open it up, but I'm terrified the moment I do...
I won't be able to handle what I find inside.
I am curious what is it that terrifies you, but this isn't the time and place to hear it.
Need advice on what to do?
If you're gonna open it, do it quick.
Open it?
You're not the type to be satisfied with never knowing what's inside.
So it's all comes down to timing.
Taking your time will only make things harder for you.
You think?
I do.
And you might even open it to find nothing at all.
What's going on? You came back already?
I never left in the first place.
- You serious? - I told you I wasn't going back.
Then you should've told your mother you don't want to go.
I told her a hundred times. It went in one ear and out the other.
C'mon, I'll take you home.
Can you give me some money?
Money?
I used up all my cash crashing at a hotel and using my credit card will leave a trail.
I'm in a tight spot.
And you think I'll help you because...
Because... you hate my mother.
What's with the face? You thought it was a secret?
That was a long time ago.
Doesn't matter much. I don't like your mom either.
You gonna front me the money or not?
I'll give it to you. But first I'll buy you dinner.
I expect to hear what you plan to do with every penny.
Sure thing.
Come in for a sec.
Come in.
Make a reservation for two at this restaurant.
And look these over. We'll talk as soon as I get back.
Yes, sir.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- See you later. - Okay.
Tell Mr. Ahn that Shin-woo's with me.
Hello. Come on in.
Why are you alone? Where's Shin-woo?
She's with President Kang.
With Jeong-woo?
That's right. I'll go pick her up right now.
No, I'll go.
Are you sure?
You can't handle her.
Feel how smoothly it drives.
Sweetums, how's it feel, cruising around with your hubby?
Amazing, ain't it?
Did you already forget that we were kicked out?
We're not cruising around. We're wandering with nowhere to go.
Geez, you're so uptight. Wandering, cruising, same difference.
Just enjoy the scenery as we drive...
- I think you dropped a buck. - I did?
Where? Where?
Look at how short her skirt it. What a total tramp.
People like her reflect our deteriorating society.
And our failing economy.
Pooky. Pooky?
Worry about yourself, idiot.
Thanks a bunch for the credit card.
Sure thing.
- Jeong-woo. - I told him to come.
Go home.
- I shouldn't have come to you. - Yeah, that was your mistake.
I may dislike your mother, but you're still my sister.
Stop right there.
You leave now and we're no longer mother and daughter.
Is threatening all you know how to do?
That wasn't a threat.
You won't get to use a cent of my money. Including that credit card you're holding.
I'm not going to wait long.
You mean it, don't you?
Fine. I know a losing battle when I see one.
Good job.
For all the times I hit you...
I'll apologize now.
Wake me when we're home.
You're bored, aren't you? Wanna find a playroom?
Then how about I buy you something good to eat?
A growing boy like you shouldn't go hungry.
Let's go eat.
You man the counter. Let's go. Go, go, go!
So you're telling me Shin-woo is in Korea?
She is.
What a Shin-woo thing to do.
Hi, Hyeong-woo.
Say hello to Na-kyeong.
Hello, Na-kyeong.
You have him under your thumb, don't you Eun-young?
- Would you like some tea? - I already had some.
- Can I talk to you privately? - Sure.
- Have a seat. - Sure.
- You feeling better? - Yeah, thanks to you.
That's good.
This... is for you.
- What is this? - Open it.
I just came back from shopping with a friend.
This is completely unnecessary.
Don't misunderstand. It's not a thank you gift.
I thought of you when I saw it. That's perfectly fine, right?
I don't want to hear "thank you."
I'm waiting to hear It's beautiful. I love it."
It is beautiful. I do love it.
I'll wear it often.
Eun-young.
Is there anything you'd like to discuss with me?
Discuss what?
Well, I want to be the person you turn to when you're upset or having a hard time.
I want to be able to help you.
Is this about Shin-woo and me?
That's included.
I'm really fine. You don't need to worry.
I shouldn't have said anything. Of course you'll say things are fine.
You'll be the first person I confide in when anything happens.
Wow, the scarf really is beautiful.
Glad you like it.
You're a foolish person if you think threats will work against me.
What I offer is a deal, not a threat.
I am not fluent in Korean. Please speak in Japanese.
Actually, I'm sure you understand me perfectly.
You don't easily forget your native tongue, not when you lived here 'til you were 14.
I'll say it just once more, but I am Japanese.
Don't ever call me again.
You understand well when you need to, Kenta.
Um, I totally forgot to call my mother-in-law.
Could I borrow your cell?
- Mine's out of battery. - Of course.
- Here. - Thanks.
- I'll be waiting for you downstairs. - Thanks.
I think Na-kyeong knows something.
Meet me at the cafe in front of your house in an hour.
What the hell did you do?
Hello? Is someone next to you?
Fine, we'll talk in person. I'll leave right now.
Hello?
Mother, it's me. Is Na-kyeong there?
She went out.
How could you let her go out?
I didn't just let her. She insisted.
Okay, bye.
What the...?
What's his problem?
Time to fake another illness?
- Welcome home. - Thanks.
- Leave her stuff and go home. - Yes, ma'am.
Shin-woo, I'm glad you're home.
Shin-woo, glad you are home.
Just leave her alone for the time being.
Yes, mother.
Mother, welcome home.
You're so good at saying hello. That's my boy.
Shin-woo.
Don't you know how to knock?
I did, but seems the music was too loud.
If there's no answer, it means I'm not in or I don't want any company.
I'll keep that in mind.
Shin-woo, can we talk?
I'm not in right now.
Alright, I'll let you rest then.
