(Episode 120)
Hello?
There's someone in here!
Hello?
Help!
This should be a stress-free meeting.
Father,
I have something to say.
Hi, Aran.
Let's go to the meeting together.
There's something I must tell you before that.
You do?
I have something to tell you too.
Bom threatened me, saying she has
evidence.
What are you talking about?
It was Bom who had been
sending me the surveillance camera clips.
That squirt was spying on me.
I doubt that.
She told me so herself
that she has evidence against me.
I don't know what she's thinking.
And then you know what she said?
If I don't come clean at the board meeting
and apologize to her mother,
she'll disclose the evidence.
Like she can pull that off.
But what if she really does
try to shame you?
I wouldn't let that happen.
I made sure to
keep her in check.
Keep her in check?
Don't worry about it.
I locked her up.
Locked her up? Where?
Don't worry about it.
I don't want to implicate you.
If she stirs trouble again over
her so-called evidence,
I'll make her disappear...
No, no.
Bom will know better than
to come to the board meeting.
We'll be late.
Let's go.
Oh. Did you have something to tell me?
I wanted to tell you I can't attend the meeting.
What a shame.
It'd be nice if you could attend.
What did he do to Bom?
(Aran)
Where did father lock her up?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Can you tell me where you took father just now?
He drove himself.
I see.
That squirt made me
panic over nothing.
Have fun in the truck.
Great work, ma'am.
All should go well with the leaven lab.
I'm so thankful that Mr. Kang
will cover all the costs.
Mom, have you seen Bom?
No. Why?
Is something wrong?
No.
Let's go.
Okay.
Do you know where Bom is?
I think she had an outside assignment.
I called before the meeting,
but she didn't pick up.
I'm worried as there was a disturbing
incident at the parking lot.
Okay.
Bom, where are you?
Ms. Oh's not back yet?
She's not here.
She acted like she was busy,
so why isn't she back yet?
She has a heap of papers to go through.
When Bom gets back,
tell her I need her.
Where did Bom go?
President An sent her to the warehouse
for some manual labor.
She must be in his bad books
if she was sent to do such backbreaking work.
We have a shipment going out tomorrow,
so it's probably crazy there.
Poor thing.
An Gilsu...
Harassing me isn't enough?
Why harass Bom?
Did she leave already?
Bom.
Hello?
There's someone in here!
Did I miss her?
Here!
There's someone in here!
Bom!
Help!
Hello?
There's someone inside the container.
Hello?
Bom?
Mom?
Mom!
I'm in here, mom!
Okay.
Hang on.
I'll get you out.
Bom, I'm right outside,
so don't worry.
I'll get you out.
Mom.
Hang on. Almost done.
It's okay.
Wait until the staff gets back.
Bom, are you okay?
President Bae.
Here.
My daughter's locked in here.
How can this be?
Bom!
Mom!
Bom!
What happened?
Why were you locked in there?
I was inspecting the goods for shipment,
but someone must have locked it,
unaware that I was inside.
I don't see how...
I should've been more careful.
Mom, your hand!
It's just a scratch.
I'll apply some antiseptic ointment.
It might get infected.
Let's get it treated.
I'm sorry
to have alarmed you.
It hurts badly, right?
We should've waited until the staff returned.
I panicked when
I heard your trembling voice.
I shouldn't have been such a baby.
I'll go settle the bill.
Oh? Hello.
Are you here for your chemo?
No.
Mom.
How are you feeling?
You know you shouldn't strain yourself, right?
Yes.
I left my purse.
Right.
Excuse me.
Mom, do you have something serious?
You shouldn't strain yourself?
No. It's the anemia.
What brings you here?
I didn't call for you.
You locked me in the container, right?
Oh, my. You were locked in a container?
I can see right through your lies now.
You must have been scared.
Who would've locked you in there?
So? Did you do a lot of thinking?
You're the one who's scared.
Isn't that why you locked me in there?
You can silence me once,
but you can't lock me up forever.
With the evidence I have,
I'll expose you
to the world when I want to.
So you'd better come clean
before I do that.
Insolent squirt.
What are you after with
this evidence of yours?
I come clean, apologize,
and then what?
You think your mom can be CEO again?
Dream on.
You have no idea the state she's in.
What are you talking about?
I warned you.
Take care of your mom.
This is no time to be
making wines with her.
If you try to seek revenge against me,
you may not catch on and lose your mother.
Get out.
Go and do whatever you wish.
That hoodlum blocked us,
so I swung at him,
snatched the document,
and handed it to Bom.
Mr. Yang, we saw the whole thing.
You did?
Then you must have seen me
clinging on to his car and
knocking him out.
Bom.
Where were you?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
At the warehouse to inspect the shipment.
But that's not your responsibility.
Did Ms. Song make you do it?
What about the document?
You said it was for the meeting.
Yeah...
It's deplorable.
Even if it was incriminating,
how could he try to steal it in broad daylight?
Bom!
Are you okay?
Are you unscathed?
Come with me.
What happened with the evidence?
I couldn't do it.
Why not?
It was a great opportunity to expose him.
You were locked up.
How could I do it when I didn't
even know where you were?
What if father hurt you?
Go and tell the board now.
The sooner the better.
Hold on.
When we think we have everything
is when we must be most cautious.
Father's desperate.
If he thinks he's cornered,
he may do something far worse than
what he did to you today.
I'm not scared of
what he might do to me.
But what if our imprudence
causes another fiasco?
What if he's plotting to
undermine our evidence?
We must be cautious and prudent.
Wait! What are you doing?
Seasoning the seaweed soup.
Who uses soy sauce for seaweed soup?
Use fermented anchovy sauce.
How can you use anchovy sauce?
It's too fishy.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I fed you seaweed soup seasoned with
anchovy sauce for 20 years.
Just squeeze out the excess water.
I'll season the soup.
Mother,
I made spinach salad as I heard
it's effective against anemia.
Really?
Thanks.
I'll recover in no time thanks to you.
He didn't do a thing.
I made the spinach salad
and the seaweed soup.
He said he could cook,
but alas,
he couldn't do anything right.
Maru and dad were squabbling
the whole time they were preparing dinner.
We weren't squabbling.
We got along very well.
Let's eat.
Yes. Thank you.
Your hand hurts, right?
Here.
It's okay.
I can eat on my own.
Who cares? Here.
Here.
What are you doing?
Bom's hand is fine.
So what?
It's nice to see them being lovey-dovey.
Taejun, congratulations.
As a young dad-to-be,
I'll give you pointers,
so just trust me and
do as I say.
That's right.
You'll need jammies.
And as for clothes,
only get organic cotton.
Taejun,
as for the stroller,
this is just about right.
The baby's not due for a long time.
Are you kidding me?
He's due...
Oh, right.
The sooner you get these, the better.
Aren't these adorable?
They put these on babies?
How cute.
Why are these tiny shoes so expensive?
Don't consider these simple footwear.
If you regard them as protective pieces for
your baby's delicate feet,
they're not expensive at all.
Raising kids these days must cost a fortune.
So how much is the stroller?
This?
This is said to keep
a baby fast asleep even
on bumpy sidewalks.
It's a bit pricey,
but it's very nice.
And you can
fold and unfold this.
How nice.
- It's nice / - Yes.
Everything's gotten so much better.
Should we look around a bit more?
But Taejun...
Geez.
Let's go.
Taejun.
This is good.
I can't tell him but I should.
What do I do?
Mom.
What are you drinking?
Cornelian cherry, pomegranate...
Aren't these all good for female hormones?
She needs them to give birth at such an old age.
Will you even have the energy to breastfeed?
Let me have some too.
Goodness me. Ms. Kim,
you're really something else.
Everything I get just disappears.
Don't be like that grandma.
You must be touchy
because of the pregnancy.
No. I'm not pregnant.
Happy now?
What do you mean you're not pregnant?
Midal.
This is all your fault.
Taejun got so excited because you said
I was pregnant when I wasn't.
You went to an OB/GYN.
And you have the symptoms.
Why didn't you tell us?
How could I?
Taejun wants a baby so badly.
How can I tell him I'm in menopause?
Mom, I didn't know.
Oh, no...
I'm sorry.
Is it because of all the stress I caused you?
Midal...
My poor sister.
Midal.
Why didn't she tell me?
Good grief.
This is all a burden.
I was at a loss, wondering how we'd raise
a child at our old age.
Taejun, the thing is...
I enjoy our life together, just the two of us.
Don't you?
Well, um...
It's nice out.
How about a walk?
Midal, I'm sorry I didn't know and
made a big fuss over the pregnancy.
I'm sorry.
You wanted a baby so badly,
but I can't give you one.
I was just being silly.
Why would I need a baby when my wife
is so cute and adorable?
Thank you for saying that.
I can't bloom again like those flowers.
Now that my life as a woman is over,
I feel so sad and despondent.
Don't think like that.
To me, you're a flower that will never wilt.
You're more beautiful than any flower out there.
Taejun.
Midal,
promise me again
you will be by my side
until the very end.
Oh, my.
What is this
out of the blue?
Go on.
Promise me.
Yes. Of course.
I'll always stay by your side.
♪ Congratulations, congratulations ♪
♪ Congratulations ♪
♪ On your meno-completion ♪
Congratulations, Midal.
Congratulations on fulfilling your sacred duty
of giving life.
Congrats on the second chapter of your life.
Congratulations.
Why are you humiliating me?
Why don't you put out an ad?
Why don't you hang up a giant banner
saying my life as a woman is over?
I don't believe this.
But...
- Midal. / - Midal.
You said a party would cheer her up.
Geez.
Wait up.
I told you this was a bad idea.
What if mom's very angry?
I'm worried.
This is the beginning
of her menopausal hysteria.
You'd better brace yourselves.
Menopause or meno-completion,
what do we do with all this?
What about the car?
What will happen to the car
dad got mom?
In the Product Development Lab
is a classified document
I gave Bae Gukhui.
Set it up
so that it looks like...
What is this?
Destroy her.
Do whatever it takes
to drive her out of Punggildang.
I'm sorry, Taeho.
Are you still spying on dad?
Father thought Bom was blackmailing him
and locked her up in a container.
Oh, dad...
So you'll keep spying on him
and contain him, right?
You won't stop, right?
I didn't want you to know.
I didn't want you to be conflicted,
but alas, I failed.
So this won't be over until you or dad
stops this madness, right?
What did you just say?
I'm the one who's been blackmailing you.
So stop suffering this humiliation from your son
and resign as CEO.
Apologize to mother and
reclaim your integrity.
Spineless fool.
I know you don't have it in you to spy on me.
Why?
Did Bom ask you to take the blame?
Enough is enough, dad.
I don't want to bother with
someone as pathetic as you.
If you don't want to help me,
then get out of my sight.
If you won't show remorse,
then I'll have to stop you in some other way.
What did you say?
It will be me, not anyone else,
who will stop what you're doing.
How dare you?
Father!
Taeho, what are you doing?
I told him.
That's right. I...
No!
I told him it was me,
but he won't believe me.
Whose fault is this?
It's because of you two!
I'm doing this to pass down
the very best to you guys!
I understand.
That's why I'm sticking by you.
Taeho. Taeho.
Where are you going this late at night?
Taeho.
Aran,
did you provoke Taeho again?
I'll be in my room.
Aran.
Good grief.
She walks away when
her mother-in-law is talking to her.
Geez.
Hon, I got this made
just for you at a VVIP-only
oriental medical clinic.
Gilsu, have one now.
Darn it!
Goodness me.
I must get rid of Bom's surveillance camera footage.
Without evidence,
she can't do a thing no matter
how hard she tries.
Hey.
Where's Bom?
She should be at the lab.
Should I get her?
No.
Rumor has it that Bom's been
leaking our toast wine files.
That can't be.
Right. I don't believe it either.
But it will be a real headache
if the rumor is true.
So I'd like to look into it before
the Audit Team does,
and I'd like your cooperation.
How?
We must find evidence.
Go ahead.
We have a witness to
avoid accusations of foul play.
I'll do it.
It'll be embarrassing if
other staffers see this.
She may have saved
the files on her computer.
You think?
I'll look for you.
I bet that
conniving little thing
hid the surveillance clips.
They're not at the office,
so they must be here.
All his offenses are in this.
Keep it safe.
All was well back then.
Never mind. Let's go.
Why are you here?
Do you think you can topple me
with the evidence you have?
Is that why you broke into our empty house?
Do you think you can blackmail and
expose me with
a few things I said?
And then do you think
you mother can use that
to reclaim Punggildang?
That's right.
Once you're exposed,
you can't stay on as president.
You'll have no choice but to
return the company you so shamelessly stole.
You little squirt.
Bom.
Learn from your sister about
making sensible choices in life.
Be careful, Aran.
(Peanut's Laver Rolls)
This way.
Careful. Careful.
Here.
Delicious Peanut's Laver Rolls!
Lots of freebies
on opening day!
Lots of free pickled radish!
It's a dream come true.
This is what people call "tears of joy."
Congrats on becoming a business owner.
Now stop pestering me about my menopause
and focus on making laver rolls.
This is all thanks to you.
If you hadn't met your Prince Charming,
how could we have done this?
Uncle Baedal and Aunt Jeongmi,
I hope this leads to a chain of 100 stores.
Mom, why is it call Peanut's Laver Rolls?
Why not Chisaem's Laver Rolls?
We'll call our second store that.
No, you won't.
I'm not that stupid.
Taejun,
thank you so much.
I'll work
my finger to the bone
to repay you for your kindness.
Taejun, I'll really work very hard.
But Taejun,
parts of the contract seem rather unfair.
Hon,
Taejun calls the shots.
We must do as he says.
We can annul the agreement
if you don't think you can honor it.
Oh, no.
Of course we'll honor it.
We're ready to work very hard.
Please sign here, sir.
Sir?
Yes, I will sign here.
Baedal, you're still awake?
Why are you still awake?
I'm too excited to sleep.
Me too.
It feels like my heart's about to explode.
Then should we go and
check on our store?
- Should we? / - Yes.
Baedal, what happened here?
How can this be?
What happened to all the food
and appliances we got?
Have we... Have we
been robbed?
Robbed?
Move. Thief.
Thief. Thief.
Hon,
aren't those ours?
Hey! Run!
- Yes, yes! / - Thieves! Stop the thieves!
- Stop! / - Stop!
Hey!
You thieves!
Hey! Stop! Hey!
After all that we went through...
You scumbag thieves!
Stop.
Stop, you thieves!
Stop.
What's wrong?
Are you ill?
No.
I'm just a bit dizzy.
This is bad.
Your anemia's severe.
I'll take you to see the doctor tomorrow.
Okay. Go to sleep.
Okay. You too.
Mom.
Hey.
Why are you up so early?
To make breakfast.
Are you unwell?
No.
It's just the anemia.
Get some more sleep.
I should do that.
Make something simple.
This is a painkiller for cancer patients.
Mom...
No.
There's no way.
Are you ill?
I want to take you to a doctor.
I've already been.
This is for indigestion.
This is the cancer center.
We're calling to confirm your appointment.
An appointment at the cancer center?
If you try to seek revenge against me,
you may not catch on and lose your mother.
That's just absurd.
Why would my be sick?
Not mom.
No way.
Mom.
Mom can't have cancer.
Mom.
I'm the daughter of Ms. Bae Gukhui, who just left.
My mom's taking these pills.
Does my mom have cancer?
Does she? Does she?
