(Episode 13)
Get some sleep.
- You too. / - I will.
Mom.
Where were you all night?
You see...
What in the world were you two up to?
Ms. Lee, last night...
Scoundrel.
Ms. Lee.
Mom, what was that for?
I raised you to be better than this.
You're just the same.
Mom!
You're just kids still!
What are you imagining, mom?
I took your sorry butt in,
and this is what you do?
Let's go in!
It's not what you think.
Mom!
Tell me right now what you two
were up to all night!
I was working!
How can you engage in debauchery with
a boy we took in when
your father's only just passed?
Do you know what I had to do to make this?
Do you have any idea what I had to do
all night to make money, your be-all and end-all?
I had to rummage through a smelly,
bug-infested garbage dump to find a bottle.
To save money despite looking
like this,
I took the subway.
Good grief...
This is my fault.
Should I go and explain to Ms. Lee?
Why didn't you just say so?
You gave me no time.
You slapped me as soon as you saw me.
What mother wouldn't lose it
if her daughter comes home
in the morning, giggling with a boy?
You should still have let me explain.
Why don't you trust me?
Have I ever caused you grief over guys?
No, but I thought I had been too trusting of you.
Never mind.
All I did was slap some boy.
It's nothing for you to get
all riled up about.
Mom, I told you
Bom had gone to work.
You resort to violence before all else.
Be quiet, you bonehead.
You two go and make breakfast.
What do we tell his father?
What if he gets in our face about
hitting his son?
Mind your own business, okay?
What can that widower do?
He should be grateful
I'm giving him food and shelter.
The gentlemanly type are really scary
when they fly off the handle.
Mom, go apologize to Maru right now!
Why should I?
Whatever.
Darn it.
You're back.
You said it would only take a few hours.
Did you have to work all night?
Yes.
You must be tired.
Go in and sleep.
I'm fine.
Oh, right. Ms. Lee was looking for Bom earlier.
Did Bom go to work without telling anyone?
Her mother was very worried.
I see.
He's completely spent.
He's never had to do anything like this.
What do I do?
He has to finish school too.
Scoundrel.
Ms. Lee.
I raised you to be better than this.
You're just the same.
Ms. Lee's way too hard on Bom.
Bom's so tiny too.
I should've stopped Ms. Lee.
Um...
My son just got back.
Right...
Your daughter's back too, right?
Yes.
They went on an overnight cleaning job.
It must have been tough.
Maru's wiped out.
It must've been even harder for Bom.
She's a tough cookie.
Bom's not like other kids these days.
She's hard-working
and so polite to her elders.
I'm envious of you.
She's doing what she has to.
She needs to work hard at least if she wants
to stick around.
How can you say something so heartless?
Are you implying you'd kick her out if she didn't
work hard or disobeyed you?
Why are you all worked up about what I said
about my own daughter?
In this time and age, a parent isn't free to do
whatever she pleases with her child.
You shouldn't be so hard on Bom.
Goodness me.
You make it sound like I did something awful.
Your son's no angel either.
He must have tattled on me when
I merely chastised him as his elder.
But Maru didn't...
Never mind.
Okay, fine.
I committed a mortal sin.
They say in weather like this,
even runaway dogs return home.
I wonder how your father is doing.
Good grief.
There's not even an iota of warmth in that child.
You're so impatient.
You and I only just avoided eviction.
Don't expect her to welcome her dad back just yet.
You have to wait for the right timing.
How can you be so laid back?
Winter is already here.
The news says there's frost at the high peaks.
How can you sleep at night when
your brother's out there?
Don't worry about your 50-something son,
and just take care of yourself.
You're working non-stop to get in
Gukhui's good graces
instead of being pampered by her.
It's just part of my plan.
I won't live like this forever.
Ms. Kim.
How have you been?
Oh, my. You're Gukhui's assistant.
Why is a non-family male
in an all-women's home
first thing in the morning?
I'm here to
brief Ms. Bae on a morning meeting.
My goodness, Mr. An,
so you're still my daughter-in-law's lackey.
Why has a fine-looking man such as yourself
been working under a woman for decades?
Mom!
You're still in good form.
Yes.
There's something about Gukhui that won't
let the men around her stand on their own.
Excuse me.
My goodness.
He may be her servant,
but how can he just walk into
her bedroom like that?
Never, if my son were here.
I thought you should
review this on the way over.
(Declaration of Missing Person)
This is...
I'm thinking about
declaring Paran missing.
I see.
But why all of a sudden?
It's not sudden.
I've been thinking that perhaps my desire to
find Paran may hurt her
if she's doing well somewhere out there.
I see.
I think I should make a decision
for Aran's sake at least.
You're right.
I'm not sure I'm fit to run
Punggildang when my family is in shambles.
Ms. Bae, don't think like that.
Let's go.
Yes, Ms. Bae.
(Punggildang)
It's worrisome that the quarterly performance
falls below expectations.
The project you insisted on doing
must succeed
if we are to make up for the loss.
I'll do my utmost
as you entrusted me with it.
Performance is important,
but as I've always said,
we must be true to who we are.
Ms. Choi will do great.
She's grown up watching you and learning from you.
She's a talented individual
who declined offers from global companies
to come here and carry on your legacy.
I'll do whatever it takes to make this work.
I think our wines must do good in the world.
To this end, we should never put
artificial flavoring in them.
Please don't worry.
I'll do my best to help Ms. Choi.
What you're worried about
will never come to pass.
What about the Punggildang Wine Bar?
Construction is in the final stages.
There will be
a tasting of our flagship wines on opening night.
Some of them will be delivered to the bar today.
I'll go check on the progress myself.
I'll take you.
One of those is the wine for re-release.
We need unbiased data,
so please taste the wines
and tell me which one's your favorite.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
We'll do our very best.
When did you come up with a sample?
We feel pressured because
you're working so hard.
Don't be.
I'm worried I may have
rushed this.
Raise the wine
you feel
is the best.
The second wine is made for today's women.
It's mild and
there's a hint of a sweet fruity aroma,
which is appealing.
I'll go with the second one as well.
The second one's the sample, right?
Your excellent choice
is truly remarkable.
It's well balanced and
will appeal to consumers.
Really?
What about you, Mr. An?
I don't know.
The second wine's not bad,
but the flavors are so prominent,
unlike our existing lineup of wines.
It is?
Very well then.
Thank you for your insightful feedback.
I'll use it as reference
and let the lab know
so that we can improve on the product.
I can contact the lab.
I'll do it myself as there's something else
I have to discuss with them.
See? This wine can be a hit.
I'll showcase this on the bar's opening night
to prove that I made the right decision,
that going with artificial flavoring
wasn't just about cutting costs.
Here.
You know how mom is?
Uncle Baedal got
beaten up when he stayed out all night.
Just consider yourself lucky that
it was a single slap, and let it go.
Okay?
You should've answered when I called.
When did you call me?
I never heard the phone ring.
Huh? My phone.
Where did it go?
Come in.
Hey.
Thanks.
Let me know if you run into any difficulties
with the project.
I will. Thanks.
Hello?
This is Punggildang.
I found your phone.
I'll hold on to it,
so come when you can.
Okay.
I found this phone last night.
The owner's coming.
I'll deal with that.
- Really? / - Sure.
Thanks.
Hello?
Yes.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Deliver them to our wine bar
without the label affixed.
And don't tell President Bae about this.
I'll brief her myself.
Okay.
As for that...
Huh? Why do you have my phone?
This is yours?
What a coincidence.
How uncanny.
I was worried as I didn't know
where I had lost it.
You found the sample,
and I found your phone,
so are we even steven?
I suppose so.
You were cleaning all night.
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
You must be tired.
I'm fine.
I feel more tired
when I can't find work.
You're so assiduous.
No more than anyone else.
All young people these days work hard.
Then, could you work at our opening event?
I think the rate's higher than the cleaning job.
Of course.
If the rate's high,
I'd even clean crocodiles' teeth.
I'll let the person in charge know,
so give him a call.
Wow. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your help yesterday.
It was long hours of tough work.
No. You must be tired.
Isn't she the one who threw a fit,
begging us to hire her?
What are they talking about?
Hey.
I found a non-agency job.
Huh? Really?
I didn't have to go through the agency.
That means no service charge,
so I get 100% of the pay.
Wow. That's great.
How about we start our own temp agency?
I'll do sales, and you can manage it.
What do you think?
That would be great.
Is your mom still upset?
Yes...
I'm sorry about earlier.
My mom has a short fuse.
I ask you for your understanding.
She's gotten more high strung
since my dad's passing.
Right.
We should've called.
It was our fault.
Mr. Choi's inside, right?
Yeah.
Hi.
I heard you worked all night.
You must be tired.
I'm fine.
These socks are for you and Maru.
I feel bad that my mom's mean to you because of me
and that I still haven't repaid you for the ring.
I feel like I owe you.
Don't say that.
Good grief.
Why should you feel bad?
Plus, it's been busy here in the morning
and evening, but thanks to your help,
I can go out and work.
It's a small token of appreciation.
You haven't gotten me
even a pair of underwear,
but you get a stranger socks?
Mom.
What?
Have some sense of shame, mom.
I'm still mad you slapped me.
And Maru...
Okay, fine.
I don't want stupid socks anyway,
so go home and get some sleep, okay?
Hope they keep your feet warm.
Thanks.
I'm sure they will.
Good for you, Mr. Choi.
You got socks from someone else's daughter.
Would you like a pair?
I'm all set.
Why would I wear
drab men's socks?
Happy birthday, dad.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, dad.
How sweet.
Aran and Paran,
daddy will take a picture of you two
with this camera I made,
so Aran, don't move until
you quietly count to 100.
Okay.
Aran, don't fight with your little sister
and be good to her, okay?
I will.
And Paran, obey your older sister, okay?
I will, dad.
Good girl.
Aran and Paran,
don't fib to mom and dad,
help the poor,
and be good children, okay?
Yes, dad.
Here we go.
We won't lie about the artificial flavoring.
We'll put it on the label and
sell an appealing wine
at a low price,
so what's the problem?
It did well at the blind test.
What's that?
Nothing.
Are you sure you don't need
my help with the re-release project?
You're up every night.
Let me know if I can help.
I'm fine.
We don't have a set direction yet anyway.
Who were you with in the lobby?
Huh? Who?
Oh... I was returning a misplaced phone.
You saw?
Mom, what are you doing?
Go ahead.
Get out so that I can go.
I won't look, so go ahead.
Mom, why are you doing this?
You know why.
You'll make a run for it
if I don't keep an eye on you.
How can I trust you
to leave you alone here?
So you'll watch me do a number two?
Yes.
This is stifling.
Because of you, I have nowhere to go anyway.
You threatened my friends
that you'd report them if they helped me,
so they've all turned their backs on me.
They were calling all morning to chew me out.
All my friends left me,
and now this?
They're no good, just like you.
Don't hang out with those losers.
Come to your senses and return to Canada.
Okay, fine.
But I really have to go.
It's urgent.
Go ahead!
Get me toilet paper then.
Geez.
This is prison.
If he has to use the bathroom...
What was that?
Did he escape?
Hey, Suho. Suho!
No one's answering.
I can't.
I don't have money
for transportation.
I should be out collecting bottles.
My mom kicked me out because of you.
I have nowhere to go.
I'm too poor to help you anyway.
This is pointless.
I have to go.
Why were you so rude on the phone?
If you knew why,
what could you do about it?
It's because I'm poor
that a loser like him disrespects me.
It's a real blow to my ego.
I hate this.
Darn it.
This is maddening.
I could just...
Oh, my gosh.
It's been so long, King Sejong.
Oh, wow.
Okay. This will get me
a bottle of cheap lotion at least.
Yes.
Choi Jia!
Dad.
What are you doing?
There was money on the floor.
I hit the jackpot. $20.
Are you stealing now that
we're living like this?
Dad, I didn't steal.
Fine. I stole.
But think about why I've gotten this desperate.
Do you know how hard this is for me?
Do you know how tough it is
for me to live like a bum?
So do all poor people resort to stealing?
Whatever.
Being broke is driving me
to take drastic measures.
I spent more
on lunch when mom was around.
Jia,
how can you be like this to dad?
I don't know.
You're no different!
Hey, Jia. Where are you going?
Choi Jia!
I'll go.
Jia.
Jia. Jia.
Let's go home.
We have no home.
Come on.
Go and apologize to dad.
I didn't do anything.
Forget about it.
He accused me
of being a thief,
so why should I go back?
I'll live as I please.
You were in the wrong though.
Whatever.
Dad, you, and I should each
just fend for ourselves.
Let's just split up.
Our family was dysfunctional anyway.
How can you say that?
Legally, you and are aren't even related.
And you're not related to dad either.
My mother is listed as dad's ex,
someone I've never even seen in my life.
So what's the point of
being together as family,
living in his squalor?
Forget about it!
I'm sorry.
Why do you keep saying sorry?
Both of you are incompetent fools.
I don't need you.
Let's go.
What happened?
Oh, my. Is your sister ill?
She's alright.
My goodness.
Something's always up with that family too.
He may be spindly,
but he's a good older brother.
Wow.
So traditional wines are fermented here?
This is so cool.
The wines must taste good as
they're made fresh every day.
I'd love to have a glass.
I only got two hours of sleep.
I'm so sleepy.
I may be strong,
but sleep is so overpowering.
What a close call.
When will I get through all those?
Maru said he'd do this with me.
What's keeping him?
(Oh Bom)
Hey, where are you?
Why aren't you here yet?
Hi, Bom.
Mr. Choi, why are you answering?
Maru said he'd do this gig with me,
but he's not here yet.
Really?
I'm sorry, but Maru
can't come to the phone right now.
When you see him,
can you tell him to report to work?
This is a great gig,
and he has to come to be able to keep doing it.
Okay.
Maru. Maru.
The poor thing.
He must be very tired.
What do I do?
Bom must be overwhelmed.
The dining area's all set.
Yes, it is.
The kitchen and distillery
require one final inspection.
Keep up the good work.
Yes, Ms. Bae.
Shall we?
Let's go see the distillery.
I'll check on the opening-night event.
Okay then.
Let's go.
Okay. This way.
I've never seen this before.
I know all of Punggildang's wines.
Maybe this is new.
But it doesn't have a label.
Is it even a Punggildang wine?
Could you affix the label on these?
Sure.
I thought
they were defective because
they were label-less.
Thank you.
Sure.
This has to be it.
Now, this way.
(Chrysanthemum flavoring)
Punggildang wines are all-natural.
What's wrong with this one?
Oh, no. Punggildang finally succumbed.
How disappointing.
What's disappointing?
I was just...
Truth is, I'm only saying because I'm very fond
of Punggildang.
Punggildang is known for being all-natural,
so isn't it betrayal to
use artificial flavoring?
Betrayal?
Your job offer
at Punggildang was rescinded, right?
What does that have to do with this?
What you said was out of spite.
What do you know
about our products anyway?
Get out if you plan to
keep badmouthing our product.
It's not like I was making things up.
Why are you so upset?
I don't want to waste my breath,
so get out right now.
Why did you push me?
Get lost, okay?
Aran! Aran!
Mr. Choi.
What happened?
Aran, are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Are you okay?
Get out right now.
Get lost!
What is that?
It's nothing.
Just a sample.
Aran.
We have to stop the bleeding.
Don't touch her.
Why do I keep running into that wacko?
Choi Aran, what is the meaning of this?
Why didn't you
report this to me?
I had it made for a staff tasting.
Are you sure?
How was it leaked?
Why is Bom's picture here?
And who's this child?
What is this?
Oh, that?
It's a pinhole camera.
This actually takes pictures?
Of course.
Do you want to see a picture
I took with a pinhole camera?
