Hyeong-woo!
Hyeong-woo. Hyeong-woo!
- Hyeong-woo! - Ma'am, it's dangerous. I'll go.
Get out of my way!
Ma'am!
I'm okay. Go get Hyeong-woo. Go!
Eun-young?
What the...?
She is not Eun-young.
People without cars take buses or taxis.
If you tell the taxi driver where you want to go, he'll take you there.
Ma'am!
- Get me some water. - Yes, ma'am.
You should go lie down.
No. Did you talk to the police?
They haven't called yet but they will soon.
Don't worry.
It's Jeong-woo.
I gave him a call.
What happened?
Hyeong-woo got out of the car while on the way to the hospital.
He what?
I think he went looking for Eun-young.
- Shall I call her? - No, don't.
He doesn't know how to go to her.
Where did this happen? I'll go look in the area.
It's no use. We spent hours looking for him in the area.
And we already informed the police.
Even so, I'll give it another go.
Are you kidding me?
Hours of driving and all you got is 20 bucks?
How much?
I already told you. $127!
C'mon, get out. Get out!
That's it. We're going to the police.
I must go to Eun-young.
Hyeong-woo!
Hi, Bo-young.
You know this weirdo?
Who you callin' a weirdo? He's my brother-in-law.
This is my sister-in-law.
- I just want my money. - How much?
$127.
Come again?
- Ga. - Right.
Ga.
Next.
Hyeong-woo's gone missing. Call me if you hear from him.
- What's going on? - It's just like I texted.
Hyeong-woo's gone missing. We think he went looking for you.
You haven't heard from him?
No, I haven't.
Gotta go.
Bi-an, get dressed - no, wait. Watch TV. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Come in, Hyeong-woo.
- Hyeong-woo. - Hyeong-woo!
Hi, Eun-young.
- Hello? - Mother, it's me.
If this isn't urgent, can we talk later?
I'm busy right now.
Hyeong-woo's here at my house.
Come again?
Since when are you two so tight?
Here, have some fruit.
- Thank you. - Bo-young, take Bi-an inside.
- Bi-an, go with her. - Okay.
Let's go.
Look at me.
Do you realize what you did?
How could you when you knew Mother would go crazy looking for you?
We are a married couple. Couples live together.
Like I said before...
We're home.
Hyeong-woo?
- How'd he... - He took a taxi.
Hello, Mother and Father.
Cheers!
Thanks.
Today calls for a celebration much more special than this.
Here's to winning the advert contract for the magazine.
So how about we do the wave and drink another round?
Again?
Not with Shin-woo already a goner.
I'm fine.
So... this time, I'll start the wave.
In this direction.
It's late. I'll go bring him down.
No, I'll go.
How'd you find your way here? That's pretty amazing.
Amazing, yes. But high in cost as well.
You call his mother?
- Yes, she's on her way. - I am not leaving.
- Then you gonna live here? - Yup.
In this day and age there's actually a man who wants to live with his wife's parents.
That must be her.
- Bo-young. - Yeah.
Bi-an, come with me.
Hello.
Welcome.
He's doing so well these days. He actually found his way here.
What are you trying to pull?
Did you think things would change if you got him to pull a stunt like this?
I didn't...
Wait, he came on his own...
How about taking a seat first?
No, thank you. Hyeong-woo, we're going.
Hyeong-woo, get up this instant!
Hyeong-woo.
Hyeong-woo...
Hyeong-woo?
How about we go talk in the room?
Please, help yourself.
I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to sit here and sip tea with you.
Of course. I understand.
This is all my fault as her father.
I thought you were respectable, warm-hearted people.
I never imagined you'd pull a cheap trick like this.
We didn't intend for this to happen.
Please don't misunderstand.
I don't know what your intentions were when you tried to trick me into adoption.
But you misjudged me.
Yes, well, we told her to get a divorce.
- She couldn't leave Hyeong-woo. - Of course she couldn't.
As you witnessed earlier, she has my son under her thumb.
What are you...? You saying she planned this?
Only she can answer that.
I swear it's not true. She didn't.
She's not the type of person to be so calculating.
It's a misunderstanding.
She fooled Hyeong-woo and me and tried to adopt her son officially.
That proves everything.
- She was afraid Hyeong-woo would... - Of course, you're right.
I understand that her behavior calls for misunderstanding.
I'm very sorry for that.
Goodbye then. Goodbye.
Are you a traitor? A murderer? Why are you groveling at her feet?
Keep your voice down.
Sure, what Eun-young did was wrong.
But she's the one who begged us to let this marriage happen.
Hyeong-woo, do as I say. Get up.
I do not want to go with Mom.
Keep this up and I'll really get mad.
Hyeong-woo, stand up.
Kang Hyeong-woo!
I am not going.
You're really upsetting me. Get up at once.
No.
Leave us alone.
Okay.
Fine. I'm sorry.
I won't have men guarding your room anymore.
I'll let you meet Eun-young whenever you want.
So let's go home.
Look at me. See how angry I am?
Yes.
You keep this up and I'll leave without you.
You might never see me again.
You'll stop being my son and we'll never meet again.
You okay with that?
Answer me.
Mom, I am a teacher and a husband.
I am Bi-an's father. We make up a family.
I said, are you okay with never seeing me again?
Answer me.
I... am not your son.
I'll ask one last time.
Think carefully before answering.
Are you... okay with never seeing me again?
Yes.
Hyeong-woo, don't. Go home!
Mother!
Seems... my son will have to spend the night here.
- Ah, sure. - It's no problem at all.
We'll send him home tomorrow. Don't you worry.
Thank you. Good night.
Goodbye.
Wow, the power of one's children.
He made her go from lion to lamb just like that.
That's enough.
I'm just so upset, you know?
What do you mean he refused to come?
Mr. Ahn, you should've dragged him out.
Okay. Bye.
Wait, Hyeong-woo's at my house?
Apparently so.
Contact me if anything happens.
Will do.
Hello?
Yes, this is Shin-woo's brother.
Whoa! Hey, Shin-woo!
Pull yourself together.
You Shin-woo's brother?
Yes, I'm her brother.
- Help me. - Okay.
Up we go! Ugh, she's pissed alright.
My apologies. I didn't know she couldn't drink.
And it was too late to call her mother.
How do you know my sister?
Nothing special. Just her employer.
Ah, I see. She's still just a kid.
Please take good care of her.
- So you went by Hyeong-woo's? - Yeah.
Thought she could handle her liquor, but she's total weak sauce.
That was awfully brotherly of you.
So who called you? Her boyfriend?
I don't think they're dating yet... but anything could happen.
I guess if they were dating, he'd know where she lived.
Did you stop by my office earlier because you had something to say?
No. I just wanted to know how Eun-young was doing.
Anyway, I'm relieved to hear that things worked out.
What worked out?
Hyeong-woo escaped and found Eun-young.
That wraps things up, right?
How so?
Hyeong-woo is the only one who can bend his mother's will.
She'll give in no matter what Eun-young did that was so wrong.
I've got some work to do. Go to bed.
- Back to the study? - Yeah.
You spend more time in the study than in the bedroom.
I'm swamped with work.
I know. Just thought I'd tease you. Go work.
- Go to bed. - I will.
- Who do you love the most? - Mom.
- You gonna live with me forever? - Yup.
His mother probably didn't sleep a wink, yet he's eating away without a care.
How's the food? Is it to your liking?
Yes.
I hear you like fish. Help yourself.
Excuse me, but I happen to like fish, too.
You see, he has a much more delicate palate than you do.
I have a delicate palate, too.
Exactly. Stop being so biased with food.
You're right. Everyone dig in.
Thanks, Eun-young. Man, fish never tasted sweeter.
Hyeong-woo, I'll take you home after breakfast, okay?
No, she won't. Keep eating.
Wait 'til he's done eating at least. Go on, eat.
Take your time and chew carefully.
Excuse me.
Yes, Mother.
No, I can talk.
Right now?
Forgiving you isn't so simple for me.
I might hold it against you until the day I die.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Come back home.
Without Bi-an. Just you.
I'm not asking you to choose between Bi-an and Hyeong-woo.
I'm asking you to choose between Bi-an and your family.
You leave Bi-an behind and nothing will change for your family.
And Bi-an won't lack financial support as he grows up.
I know why you decided to ask this of me.
But I can't abandon him again. Not when he just learned to call me mom.
I'm sorry.
Yet abandoning Hyeong-woo seems to be easy for you.
Hyeong-woo is an adult. And he has you at his side always.
I'm sorry.
Fine.
Then bring Bi-an, too.
Mother, do you mean that?
Then sign this refusal of inheritance.
That means if I were to die tomorrow, neither you nor Bi-an would get a dime.
Why? Can't do it?
That's not it.
If you still suspect that Bi-an is a thief, please reconsider.
I found the necklace.
He was careless and so it dropped into the toilet.
Things could've been worse.
That's great.
I don't mean anything by this contract. I just don't want any trouble.
That's fine.
That's preposterous!
She gave her permission.
I guess it's okay if she's allowing it.
You...!
Geez... I'm just sayin'...
You saw how Hyeong-woo is. What if he refuses to go home?
He won't go back alone.
Drag him if need be. Anything but this.
You gonna be held responsible if something goes wrong?
He was lucky this time around. What if he really loses his way next time?
Go take him home.
Talk to him and convince him. Then get a divorce.
- Everyone agrees but you... - Enough!
I'm putting down my foot. What you're suggesting is morally wrong.
- But Dad... - Don't forget.
You're to get a divorce.
I'll talk to him. You take Hyeong-woo home.
His mother must be waiting.
- Hello. - Hello.
What in the world is going on?
What's so morally wrong?
And sis gave her permission for what?
Ouch! Ow, owie!
Can't you open the door gently?
What were you doing?
I was checking the door. It looked like it might be broken.
That so?
This must be the rats' hangout. They nibble away at the wood.
Rats? In the spa?
Yes, there's a busybody rat with short legs that pokes her nose everywhere.
What did you just say?
You calling me a rat?
I can't believe my ears! How dare you!
I can't believe my ears either. When did I call you a rat, huh?
Ugh! Ugh! I hate that woman!
We found Hwang Jeong-gu.
- You did? - Yes.
I remembered him talking about China so we watch the airports and sea ports.
- We caught him about to board a ship. - I see.
What shall we do?
First, take Bi-an with you to buy his ticket.
- I'll call you later. - Yes, sir.
- Hello, ma'am? - Come here after work.
I have something important to discuss.
- What's this about? - We'll talk in person.
Come quick.
Okay.
So he brought his wife home.
Can't get more normal than this.
Hyeong-woo, take Bi-an upstairs with you.
Okay.
Go on up.
Dinner's ready. Go unpack.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Well, everyone has a story, I guess.
Just don't let Shin-woo find out. She'll raise hell.
Shin-woo.
Hey, you're home.
Wh-why are you home so early?
Mom called an emergency meeting. What bomb is she gonna drop now?
I wonder. She also called Jeong-woo's family over.
I'd better go set the table.
What happened?
I did something very wrong.
What did you do?
Later. I'll tell you everything later.
I'll pass. No need to create tension.
- Bi-an came with you, right? - Yes, he's upstairs.
- I'm going to my room. - Okay.
Both of you sit down.
- Yes, ma'am. - I have something to say.
Tell us already. What's with all the dramatics?
There he comes, right on time. Come over here, Bi-an.
Let me announce this formally. We're going to...
adopt Bi-an as Hyeong-woo's son.
