I'll get it. Get me some tea.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello?
Sis, it's me.
Why are you calling so early in the morning?
I was so angry I couldn't sleep a wink.
What's this about?
I'm talking about your daughter-in-law Eun-young.
What about her?
She left Bi-an at our house all day yesterday.
Then she shows up and takes him without a word of thanks.
Even if she wasn't grateful, I deserve more respect than that.
This the reason you called?
I can stand Shin-woo and Hyeong-woo looking down on me with disrespect.
But I won't stand for Eun-young treating me with disrespect!
She didn't disrespect you.
Alright, I'll talk to her.
No, I won't have you trying to teach my daughter-in-law manners.
I'll do that.
Tell Eun-young to come down.
Yes, ma'am.
- You were on the phone? - I was.
I told sis to teach her daughter-in-law better manners.
Eun-young will get into trouble. Why did you do that?
You skipping out on hospital visits and praying at church instead?
What?
Who are you and what did you do with my smart, opinionated daughter-in-law?
You're neither hot nor cold now. You're so lukewarm.
See! Before you would've said, Mother, that's not how it is..."
Your soup's getting cold. Hurry up and eat.
Jeong-woo, why are you so listless?
I'm not. Let's eat.
Don't have much of an appetite?
No, I'm fine.
You called for me?
Jeong-woo's family...
Things with them are complicated, but they're still family.
I believe I asked you to treat them with respect and try to get along with them.
You did.
So why do I have to be criticized about how my daughter-in-law behaves?
Yesterday I was a bit out of it and forgot my manners.
I'll be careful from now on.
Was this because of Bi-an, too?
You may not like Jeong-woo but he's still Hyeong-woo's brother.
Which means you treat him with respect.
I won't stand for my daughter-in-law being rude to other people.
Watch your manners wherever you go and act properly, understand?
Yes, Mother.
Don't disappoint me anymore.
I'll be watching you.
I understand.
Come in.
- Well? - We haven't found him yet.
But I think he got his hands on some cash.
- How do you know? - We got to an adult game room late...
and heard he blew thousands there.
He definitely has some money now.
That so?
- Alright, keep looking. - Okay.
And he changed cell numbers. See if he opened any new accounts.
Okay, sir.
It's all over now, Jeong-woo.
What's this?
It came to the secretary's office but it's actually for you.
To the secretary's office?
Alright. You can go.
You're absolutely right. I had him and abandoned him.
And I'm trying to make amends.
- Welcome. - Hey, Eun-young.
- Hi, lady! - Hey there, Bi-an.
I bought the cake just for you.
Hello, Hyeong-woo.
Hello.
- Where's Hyeong-woo's mother? - She went to work.
Did you come to see her?
No, to see you.
I see.
Have some tea.
- Someone studying photography? - Shin-woo. She's very passionate.
Really? I had no idea.
She's very bright these days because she's doing what she loves.
That's a relief. So she doesn't bug you anymore?
- Have some tea. - Sure.
Eun-young, did something happen?
Does it have to do with Jeong-woo?
Sorry about yesterday.
I don't want an apology.
You're not yourself these days.
Did he do something to you again?
Uh... no.
I'm on edge because Bi-an's father showed up and is being a jerk.
I only heard bits from my mother-in-law. So his father was alive?
Yes.
I heard he didn't seem to be a good person.
He isn't. He asked for money in exchange of Bi-an.
How could he!
- What are you gonna do? - I won't let him take Bi-an. I won't.
I understand. I only spent a day with him but I'm already quite attached to him
I'll help.
He has no right to be Bi-an's father. You can't let go of Bi-an.
I won't.
- Probably dropped the cake. I'll be back. - Okay.
- I'm here, Mrs. Na. - Welcome...
You do everything, don't you?
Yes, I'm quite multi-talented.
Mr. Ju, put my stuff inside and get me a cup of coffee.
- Yes, ma'am. - Hong-jin.
Go help out Bo-young's father. The new towels and clothes just came in.
Sure.
- My coffee first. - You know he's not very healthy.
Go help him now.
Alright, I'll do everything, okay?
Look here, why don't we both take it easy?
Don't think I'm not saying anything because I have nothing to say.
- Say what? - Think about it.
Why do I have to be careful about asking the driver to run errands?
Then again I shouldn't expect better after seeing how Eun-young behaves.
- What about her? - Let's stop here.
I don't want to ruin my mood.
Finish what you started. What about Eun-young?
Think about it. She married into a family like ours.
Shouldn't you have taught her better manners before the wedding?
What's so great about your family?
No father-in-law but two mothers-in-law. That kind of family?
Mrs. Na, that was a low blow.
Then let me say this. Eun-young's been acting real suspicious.
What do you mean suspicious?
As if her marriage isn't already feeding and supporting her entire family.
Who knows what else she has planned? Ask her yourself.
- Tell me! What are you talking about? - What the...? Talk about bad manners.
- Let go! - Screw manners.
I was never born with them. So tell me already!
Let go! What's your problem?
- Let go of me! - Tell me!
- Oh no! Oh no! - Right. Oh no.
I can't believe this!
I'm sorry. Blame my bad manners. So very sorry.
Alright, I'm really gonna give it to you!
What's going on? Hey!
Honey!
- Mother! - What are you doing?
- Mom, stop it! - Please!
Ma'am, here's an Americano coffee to calm your nerves.
I've never been so humiliated in my entire life.
What can you do? You have to be the bigger person.
Mr. Ju, don't you agree that your mother-in-law is an ignorant person?
She totally is. And she's as strong as an ox.
Someone as fragile as you can't beat someone like her.
She was super strong. I totally lost face with the employees.
Wow, you look great even in a simple tee shirt like this.
That's totally impressive.
And I even got the smallest size for you.
- Size 8... no, 6? - Six.
Yeah, six.
Of all the... I saw this coming a mile away.
How are we gonna face her now?
Don't just yell at me. I didn't fight by myself.
Still not repentant, huh? This will affect Eun-young!
I got mad because it was about Eun-young.
She talks crap about her in front of me, imagine how she treats her in person.
Didn't do anything wrong, huh?
Go apologize!
Heck no! Why should I?
Look at him! What fool married him?
Mom, I'm so proud of you! This must've really stung her pride.
Did you see how she looked? Like a regular drowning rat.
She was flailing in the water.
It was so funny!
Mother, you alright? Here, drink this.
I'd need a hot drink, you fool.
Done sucking up already?
I was afraid she'd tell you to pay the dry cleaning bill.
So I convinced her not to.
Quit that job at once!
Yeah, seeing how things are going, I agree with you quitting.
C'mon, you know she doesn't stand a chance against you.
Just ignore her and be the bigger person.
Yeah, she looks like she'll hold major grudges.
Right? And you avoid poo because it's scary, not 'cause it's dirty.
Pooky, you said it wrong.
Whatever. Mother, be the bigger person.
Wow, you look great even in a simple tee shirt.
What size to you wear? Eight? Six?
- Six. - Six, I knew it!
Is something up? You could've called for me.
Sit.
I just received an interesting package.
What is this?
You don't know?
I don't.
You're absolutely right. I had him and abandoned him.
And I'm trying to make amends.
So please give up your rights to him.
You're awfully demanding for someone asking a favor.
Who could've sent you this?
I wonder. Who sent it?
You've known from the start that she had a baby in the past.
That's all in the past.
It is.
If Hwang told you that he adopted Bi-an, I'm sure you made the connection.
I had no idea.
Really? Then stick to that story.
You never found out about this. Do you follow?
What do you plan to do?
Let's see, what to do?
Marrying your brother was hard enough, so divorce doesn't appeal to me.
Eun-young tricked both you and Hyeong-woo.
But if Hyeong-woo doesn't have children in the future...
this might not be such a bad thing.
It's better than adopting a complete stranger.
But that's...
I haven't decided on either adoption or divorce.
She's still Hyeong-woo's wife and my daughter-in-law.
I won't have you mistreating her because of this, you hear?
Shouldn't Hyeong-woo make the final decision?
Hyeong-woo's a guy, too. If he were a normal person...
would he want to continue this marriage knowing all this?
I don't know.
He might put his wife's past behind him, just like you did.
I'll go home and ask him.
Did you find Hwang?
Reserve me two plane tickets to England for the weekend.
No. One's for me and the other's for a little boy.
Hurry! I'm hungry.
Be patient. It's nearly done.
Oh, it's hot. I'll do it.
- I don't like hot things. - I know.
Here.
- Grandma! - Oh.
- Mother, you're home early. - I have a headache.
- What are you up to? - Oh, Hyeong-woo...
I cooked ramen noodles.
- Ramen isn't good for you. - Oh, it was for practice.
- We won't eat it often. - Good.
Hyeong-woo cooked ramen noodles. But only for three people.
That's fine. I already ate. You guys enjoy it.
No, we have enough for you, too.
It's fine. Bi-an, did you have a good day?
Yes, Grandma.
What is it, Mother?
It's nothing. Can you draw my bath after eating?
Sure.
This is my thank you for cooking a delicious meal.
Thank you very much.
The three of us will go on trips together, go volunteer and help out the poor...
We'll be so happy together.
Our family is happy.
Did you know that I pray a lot these days?
I say, "Thank you for making this man love me."
Thank you for making my husband such a warm person filled with love.
Bi-an!
Wait, what is that? That's the chairwoman's!
Where did you get this? You know how expensive this is?
- Put it back where you found it. - Okay.
Yes?
I went to order a passport for the child.
When will it be out?
We have to find Hwang Jeong-gu first.
What?
We'll need the certificate for the father's seal as well as the seal itself.
We can't make the passport without Hwang's permission.
I thought representatives could apply for minors.
Only if you're in the immediate family.
Finding Hwang is our only option.
Haven't found Hwang yet?
We have men posted at his usual haunts, but he's not showing up.
Keep watching. He'll show up when he's broke.
- Okay. - Tell me when you find him.
Will do.
Lady! Lady!
- You called? - There you are.
Did you see my necklace in the bathroom?
- Necklace? - Yeah.
Oh, the diamond necklace. I did see it but...
Did you move it?
No. I saw Bi-an carry it around earlier so I told him to put it back.
Bi-an, you had that necklace earlier, right?
I did.
Where'd you put it?
- Lady. - Yes?
- Take Hyeong-woo upstairs. - Yes, ma'am.
Hyeong-woo, let's go.
I already searched everywhere. It's not in here.
No, it must be here. Not like it has legs.
I wonder. Where did it go?
You don't... suspect Bi-an, do you?
No. I never said that.
I just wonder why this happened when it's never happened before.
That necklace? Bi-an couldn't have. It doesn't make sense.
Do you know how much it's worth?
Even used, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Bi-an has no concept for money yet. And he wouldn't know how to sell it.
Bi-an might have no interest in it, but I'm sure that father of his would.
He has a lot of gambling debts and he knows where we live.
And I'm sure he knows how to sweet talk his own son.
You know what that man's like. Bi-an can't even breathe around him.
He can't even look his father in the eye. So why would he help that man?
Because that's blood.
He lived under a man who visited jail like a second home and has gambling debts.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
How could you say that?
Let's drop it.
I'll pretend I gave the necklace to charity.
But I want that child out of my house.
No, I can't do that.
Bi-an would never steal. I know that for a fact.
I'll look for it. I'll definitely find it.
You can't change human nature. At least when born with bad blood.
Don't be distressed anymore. It's time to let go of the boy.
So you've...
already made up your mind?
You already believe that Bi-an stole that necklace, right?
Why? You didn't even look very hard.
Because he's the son of an ex-con? Because he was born of bad blood?
What are you doing?
No child chooses his parents.
No child chooses to grow up under parents like that.
That's enough. Send him away.
Before he influences Hyeong-woo.
Still won't tell the truth?
Lady...?
Tell me the truth. Did you see the necklace?
- You didn't see it? - I saw it.
Did you touch it?
I did.
And then?
What did you do?
Tell me what happened. Why are you crying?
You didn't steal it so why are you crying? Stop crying and talk to me.
Where's the necklace?
Stop crying and tell me where the necklace is!
- Where is it? - What do you think you're doing?
Eun-young, what are doing?
Bi-an, c'mere.
Are you putting on an act for me?
No, I'm not.
My son is being accused of stealing.
He's innocent but he's being judged as having bad blood.
What mother would stand for that?
Your son, eh?
Bi-an... is my son, Mother.
That child who you claim was born of bad blood...
That poor child who was abandoned as soon as he was born...
That child is the baby I believed to be dead.
Let me ask you one thing.
Were you going to trick Hyeong-woo and me until the end?
Just so you can adopt him as your son?
Yes. That's what I hoped I could do.
He was abandoned twice in life.
Once as soon as he was born and once by a man who only hurt him
I couldn't say he was my son and make him feel unwanted here.
I wanted to make him our son, Hyeong-woo and my son.
I wanted him to be a happy child who was loved by everyone.
So your head was so filled with thoughts for the child...
you didn't have room to think of Hyeong-woo and me?
I made a mistake.
I'm sorry, Mother. I'm so sorry.
Bi-an is not a thief.
Bi-an did not steal the necklace.
Thank you for believing that.
Eun-young, you need to come quick.
Did something happen to Bi-an?
Not exactly but... Anyway, hurry down! Hurry!
Bi-an...
Hey kid, wake up. Hey!
- Bi-an! - Take him out. He won't wake up.
Can't you see he's sleeping?
But I was told to take the bed, with the kid on it or not.
Who said that?
Who else? It was me.
Mother.
