I told you to just do as I say, to eat quietly.
So what the hell was that?
You know Kang Jeong-woo?
How would I know him?
Tell me the truth! Who told you where I live?
Tell me!
Come on in.
What brings you here?
Have a seat.
What the hell was that for?
Have a seat, Eun-young.
Thanks.
Explain yourself.
What is this about?
You can't be human.
I need more than that to figure out what you're talking about.
You lacking friends? That why you chose the man who beat Bi-an all his life?
You know that that man is terror itself in Bi-an's eyes.
Yet you still want to leave Bi-an in his care?
What an idiot I was.
I had no idea you were the mastermind behind the whole thing.
I even asked for your help. What a laugh you got outta that.
Where did you hear this nonsense?
Don't act dumb.
Your dear friend Hwang Jeong-gu told me everything.
Fine, it was me. I told him what to do.
So you told him to come into my home?
It was your idea for him to show up at dinner and scare Bi-an?
Don't forget the tape player.
I haven't slept well for a single night since deciding to adopt Bi-an.
Telling myself several times over that I shouldn't.
Every time you and Bi-an met, my heart shriveled up and I couldn't breathe.
But now I can breathe easily.
What a load off my conscience.
Still not thinking of Bi-an, huh?
Did you ask him what he wants?
The truth will scar him when he finds out someday.
Please... don't you dare say his name with that foul mouth of yours.
If I could, I'd take out every drop of blood that's yours from his veins.
Don't you dare meet him again.
Calm down.
You always lose your head when it comes to Bi-an.
You've lost it. What you wanna do is crazy.
I am crazy. You made me this way.
I'll go tell my mother-in-law who Bi-an's father is, if that's what you want.
You want to end things? I'll be glad to tell her the truth.
That your idea of a threat?
Go ahead and tell her.
You tell her now and she'll never let you adopt him.
Sounds like a plan.
Get a hold of yourself. This is crazy.
Why? You scared?
Eun-young!
I'm tired of this game of ours, aren't you? Let's end it once and for all.
- Snap out of it! - Let go!
Enough already!
Care to explain what I'm seeing here?
Come with me.
Seems you two have some explaining to do.
Eun-young, what are you doing here?
And Jeong-woo...
What's going on between you two?
Explain yourselves.
It was all me.
I didn't want the adoption to go through, so I had Bi-an's father come for Bi-an.
I told him where Bi-an was.
Eun-young found out and came to see me.
Is he telling the truth?
Answer me. Is it the truth?
Yes, Mother.
Eun-young, I'll see you at home.
Mother.
Go.
What is it?
What do you know that I don't?
There's something, isn't there?
No, nothing.
And yet you've already bribed Hwang? Even though the adoption isn't definite?
You did all that?
So tell me.
I hated the idea of Hyeong-woo adopting.
It's exactly as you probably guessed.
I didn't want him having children before me.
And why's that?
You know the reason just as well as I do.
I was suspicious of Eun-young's reasons for adopting an older child.
So I decided to take a preventive measure.
But something strikes me as odd.
You're being way too honest right now.
Am I?
What the hell did you do?
No, I'll go to you.
Bye.
Here, spicy rice cakes.
There we go.
Here, try it.
- How is it? - Yummy!
Why's it so white?
I made it a lot less spicy for you.
You've got a good appetite. Anything else you want? I'll make it.
Are you good at cooking?
Not really.
Then how can you make me anything I want?
Truth is, I can use magic.
I say, "Give me what Bi-an wants!" And poof! There it is.
Now you show me that cute smile. We friends now?
Yes, you're my third favorite person.
What? Only third?
I'd better work harder if I want to be first.
More magic will help.
I'll try. Eat up.
How did you screw up so badly?
Dude, I had the shock of my life!
There's this weirdo in that house. Can't tell if he's an idiot or a genius.
Remember in the restroom? The guy with the blank expression?
So?
He took one look at me and quoted our conversation word for word!
I'll need you to lay low for a while.
Well, the thing is... I really wish I could, but...
I'm plumb out of cash.
I believe I've already paid you for your services.
Sure you did.
But can't you pay me in advance for when we finally get Bi-an away from her?
You've completely misjudged me.
I've paid you more than enough already.
Geez, you gotta be more flexible than this.
Get out.
- But Jeong... I mean, sir... - Or I could drive you to the loan sharks.
Fine!
Don't contact anyone other than me, especially Bi-an's mother.
Got it?
Yes, sir. Whatever you say, sir.
Ugh.
Good job. You can leave now.
Yes, ma'am.
She's willing to sell her jewelry for this child?
So... this is a game called chess.
It's a little hard at first, but it's a lot of fun once you learn.
Looks strange.
- I'll teach you the rules. - Okay.
Who looks the most powerful to you?
This one.
I see you like horses. Not that one, but this one.
This is the king.
- King? - Yup.
If he dies, the game is over. That's why he's the most powerful.
Now this is how you play.
See the pawn? It can move forward one or two spaces at first.
- Then you can... Oh, Mother! - What's this?
What's he doing here?
Eun-young had to run an errand so I'm babysitting.
So he's here without Eun-young?
Yes.
Where's my hello, kid?
It's time you're taught some manners.
You...!
Mother, stop. You're scaring him.
What? But I didn't do nothin'.
Oh, hello, sweetie.
Uh... what's he doing here?
That's the same reaction Mother just gave.
- Welcome home. - Hey.
Hello.
Why do you look so down?
Bi-an is not here.
He's at my parents' home.
- Why? - Don't mention it.
Bi-an's father came earlier and turned the house upside down.
- Eun-young. - Yes, Mother.
- Let's have a cup of tea together. - Okay.
Let me apologize.
For what?
I don't have the jewelry you gave me.
You don't? Were you robbed?
No.
I sold them.
Why?
I needed money.
The daughter-in-law of Dream In's chairwoman sold her jewelry for money.
I'm sorry.
Does this marriage mean anything to you at all?
I can only assume you could do this because you think so little of our family.
It was an emergency.
Then you should've told me.
Fine.
Tell me about this great emergency.
Is it about your parents?
Hwang Jeong-gu... Bi-an's father wanted money.
Hwang Jeong-gu? That's your reason?
You told your jewelry to keep Bi-an from his father?
He's worse than scum.
Bi-an can't even breathe around him. I couldn't let him take Bi-an.
Is that all?
Is your pity for Bi-an the only reason for this inexplicable behavior of yours?
Why can't you answer me?
I'm sorry but at the moment I have nothing more to say.
That so?
Alright then.
Come see me when you're ready to tell me everything.
I will, Mother.
You're excused.
Okay.
Here, eat this.
If you had a child right after marrying, I'd have a grandchild his age.
Yeah, well...
Mother, look at Bi-an
Don't you think he looks like Jeong-woo?
No way, don't even.
Jeong-woo was such a pretty kid strangers stopped to pet him.
- Bi-an's pretty, too. - But he...
Well, he's cute, I'll give you that.
No features really stand out.
You're so funny.
Hello, mister.
Hey, when'd you come out?
Just now.
We were discussing who's cuter, baby you or Bi-an.
What do you think?
I'll pass. Can you get me something cold to drink?
- Join us if you're not too busy. - Can't.
Bi-an, you like Jeong-woo, huh?
Like he's seen him enough times to like him.
Thanks.
Hey, mister?
- Yeah? - Remember when...
you bought me a hamburger? I left my toy airplane in your car, I think.
- You did? - You didn't see it?
No, I don't recall seeing it.
I'll buy you a better one.
But I like that one.
What to do?
How about I make it up to you by showing you something else?
Wow.
This is "Nessie," the monster that lives in Loch Ness.
Scary, huh?
Come here.
- Can you see it better now? - Yup.
Wow, looks like a dinosaur.
It does.
Where's Loch Ness?
Hmm, in Great Britain.
Do you know where that is?
It's a country about twice the size of Korea.
It has a palace and in the palace lives a queen.
- Wow. - Wanna go there?
Okay, let's go someday. I'll take you.
Will we ride a plane?
Yup.
Then I'm in!
Is it really okay for us to eat this without Mom and Dad?
I feel bad.
You know how expensive this is?
But I still feel bad.
Think of it like this: it's all for Thunderbolt.
Pooky bear.
Eat up before your mother sees us.
- And what about the smell? - I'll air out... AH!
Hello.
Sweetums, you okay? Can you breathe?
Don't die! Don't die on me! Sweetums, you okay?
Water, please.
Gosh that was clever. You saved us. Good girl.
Really... water...!
Your mother left. Drop the act.
Water!
Sweetums, you okay?
- This is good. - Those little...!
- Ugh. - What's wrong?
Here, more for you. They won't get a bite from now on.
- What is it? - They're eating crab legs in secret.
You used to rag on him for not buying her food.
Guess he's finally on board.
What's so funny?
That's why they say children are absolutely worthless.
Not to worry. You have me. Say "ah."
What the...? Ew, stop that. Stop it!
- C'mon, honey. - Stop it already.
Mom, Dad, have some crab.
This is your famous pan-fried pizza. Smells delish!
Not a bite. We'll eat separately from now on.
Stop being so cheap.
Ever since you came, we had to buy double the rice.
And while we're on the topic, why are your baths so long?
You take at least two hours!
Geez, you're beyond cheap.
Cheap? Guess what? Pay your share from now on!
Pay?
But Daddy...
I take the Fifth.
$300 a head. So $600 total.
Wait, nearly forgot the baby. So that's $900.
Mom, that's totally unfair.
- You're kidding, right? - Of course she is.
My mother-in-law, the jokester.
This crab is absolutely delicious! Here, say "ah." Ah.
Ah yourself.
Sir, say "ah."
If you insist...
- Good, isn't it? - It's super good.
But I still think your mother's food is way more delicious than the crab.
Fine, fine. The baby's not out yet. So just you two. That's $600.
If you don't pay, I'll evict you!
- But Mommy...! - Please, ma'am!
We don't have any money!
- We can't pay that. - Shut it, both of you.
- We don't have the money. - Don't touch me. Go away.
Hey, what's up?
Bi-an? Why ask us? He's not here.
He's not? I left him with Hong-jin.
You did? Hold on.
Hello?
Bi-an? He's at President Kang's.
- Why's he there? - Well, the thing is...
Na-kyeong said she'd watch him. I thought that'd be safer.
Okay, bye.
What's this? Bi-an's where?
See, we had to hide him from his dad.
Mother.
It's late. Where are you going?
To go pick up Bi-an.
Isn't he with your parents? It's late. Let him sleep over.
I was wrong. He's at Na-kyeong's.
- At Jeong-woo's? - Yes.
Then Jeong-woo will drive him over. Or Ahn can do it.
I have to go myself. I'll be quick.
Why? Afraid Jeong-woo will do something to Bi-an?
Well, not exactly.
I admit he acted a bit rashly, but I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.
Put it behind you.
Wait upstairs. I'll tell him to bring Bi-an.
I think I should go. I'm sorry. I'll be back soon.
- What do you want? - He's behind it all.
All of it. Every last detail.
So?
He had me followed and threatened to turn me over to loan sharks.
How could I not follow orders?
So why are you here?
I refuse to work anymore with that scum.
If you pay me, I'll leave immediately.
No, I won't give you a dime.
You gonna be like that?
I won't hesitate to ring the doorbell, y'know.
- Go ahead. - Wait.
Mrs. Seo, think of Bi-an.
He convulses every time he sees me. You gonna leave him as my son?
I'll keep my promise.
Give me the amount you gave me before and I'll never show up again.
You'll keep your promise this time?
Darn right I will. Hwang Jeong-gu keeps his promises.
- No more collaborating with Jeong-woo. - That's a given.
- Hey, Eun-young. - Hello. Where's Bi-an?
Eun-young, I know we meet often, but where's my hello?
Right. Hello.
Where's Bi-an?
In the study with Jeong-woo.
I see.
Bi-an. Bi-an, wake up.
What's going on?
It's all over, Jeong-woo.
What's over?
Bi-an, wake up. C'mon, that's a good boy.
Eun-young, stop it. Just let him sleep.
No, we're going home.
- Jeong-woo, carry him to her car. - No, thank you.
Wait, this is awfully rude.
Should you thank us first for watching him?
Thank you. Goodbye.
Huh? What was that? Eun-young!
Did something happen?
- Hey, what is it? - We've lost track of Hwang.
What?
- Where? - Near your brother's house.
Search arcades, casinos, everywhere. Don't lose him.
Please leave a message...
You awake?
Were you uncomfortable being with strangers all day?
The mister promised to take me to Great Britain someday.
He did?
Nessie the monster lives there. It looks like a dinosaur.
It does? How scary.
Brr, it's cold.
