(Episode 109)
Thank you for sparing your busy time.
That's okay. However, it's an old case.
I'm not sure if I can be any help.
Do you remember this person by any chance?
He's the hit-and-run driver who caused the accident that day.
I don't know.
I don't know. I can't recognize him.
He's short and has a big mole on his face.
I just had a glimpse.
Besides, it was late at night, and he was wearing a hat.
I see. Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be any help.
Wait.
Did you say that he's short?
- Yes. - He's not.
The man I saw was tall.
He was a tall, slim, and young man.
I said the same thing at the police station.
Did you say that he was tall?
Are you sure?
I'm hesitating to say yes since it was such a long time ago,
but that's what I remember.
I only had a glimpse of him from afar,
but he was definitely not short.
Chun Young Bae.
If it wasn't you, who was it?
Let's have a drink.
Are you planning to send Bo Ra abroad?
Yes.
With Moo Su Hyuk?
Of course.
They're married, you know.
And they're madly in love with each other.
There must be something wrong with the blood that runs in my family.
That poor old man.
He's never been loved, yet he tried so hard to win Ms. Heo's heart.
Everyone is so romantic, but it doesn't even suit them.
They don't even realize that it can ruin their lives.
They just can't give up.
What can I do? I should just let them live the way they want.
Especially Bo Ra. She's such a fool.
A fool who knows nothing but Moo Su Hyuk.
Why are you going on about this?
Are you trying to give me a hard time?
I get that you're distressed, but enough is enough, okay?
My patience has its limits too.
Don't get so worked up. Let's just drink.
So? What will you do about Cha Tae Jin?
I know that you hate him,
but I cannot understand why you're trying so hard to take him down.
That jerk, Cha Tae Jin, and I cannot live in the same world.
Either me or him should die.
One of us must be gone.
But still, Officer Moo, whom you love so much, likes him.
So what? Are you saying I should wish them happiness for her sake?
There's nothing I can do for the person I love,
except for ruining her life.
Do Hyun.
Isn't it such a comedy?
My life has turned into a comedy.
What can I do?
I must stay strong to get through each day.
I can't fall apart more than I already have in front of her.
So? How far are you going to take this?
I told you,
"One of us must be gone."
Are you saying you're going to kill Cha Tae Jin or what?
Well... I'm not sure about that either.
I don't know how far I'll end up going.
You're still awake?
- How's Do Hyun? - He's asleep now.
The wife of Hanjoo Bank's president called me earlier today...
to thank me.
Do you know why Do Hyun is suddenly trying to do business with them?
He obviously knows how much his dad would hate the idea.
I don't know any details,
but wouldn't there be a reason if he made such a decision?
You know him.
He wouldn't make decisions like that for no reason.
Anyway, I'm worried.
He can't fall asleep without alcohol at night these days.
I'm worried about Bo Ra as well.
Bo Ra... Gosh, she won't be able to hold out in that house for long.
I don't know about anyone else, but I really want her to be happy.
If anything happens,
could you stay by her side?
- Ms. Heo. - Gosh, I'm sorry.
That was shameless of me.
Goodnight.
Get home safely.
Are you happy that Bo Ra might come back?
She must be going through such a hard time now.
I must say, you're a pitiful man.
You don't even know what your children want.
You made them live a life that's opposite to what they wanted.
You should've just made Do Hyun turn himself in back then.
Then he wouldn't be living in such agony now.
You ruined your son's life,
Mr. Jin Dae Gab.
Su Hyuk, you should call it a day.
Just focus on your work, will you?
I'm really disappointed by how you're handling the situation.
What do you mean?
I'm talking about what Bo Ra asked from you.
Frankly, it isn't something that can't be understood.
Can't you listen to her? You two could study abroad together...
and enjoy your newlywed life, don't you think?
If I were you, I'd be so excited about the idea.
I wish it was that simple.
Don't blindly reject the idea because of your pride.
Try to understand her more.
You know that she gave up everything she had to be with you.
Don't you know give-and-take?
If you received something, you need to give in return.
Yes.
I think you're right.
Let's think about it.
We'll figure out what will be best for both of us.
- See you later. - All right.
Have a good day.
You too. I'll see you later.
- Let's go. - Okay.
She keeps avoiding eye contact with me as if she's done something wrong.
Gosh, Mom. Why would Bo Ra feel that way?
That's what I'm saying.
She used to smile at me all the time.
Why would she suddenly act like that?
Mom.
Yes?
Mom, I'm going to my friend's birthday party today.
Doesn't it sound exciting? I bought a present too.
What did you buy?
A hairpin.
I really wanted to have this one.
I'll buy you a hairpin that's prettier than that.
Really?
Of course.
Then are you not opening the restaurant for lunch today?
Most of our customers come in the evening anyway.
We can start preparing in the afternoon when we're back.
You made the right choice. You should enjoy your life sometimes.
Mother, I'll prepare your lunch before we leave.
You can just heat up the soup, okay?
Okay.
I wish you were going with us too.
I told you that she can't go.
- What if she trips in the dark... - I didn't say that I'll go.
I'm not used to going to cinemas like other people.
Wasn't I right? I said Grandma wouldn't go.
- I've lost my appetite. - Grandmother...
Is she feeling unwell?
Exactly.
Ever since she felt dizzy when she came back from the public bath,
she seems to lack energy.
That's why it's dangerous for elderly people...
to go out in the cold weather.
Isn't it hard to drive at night?
Driving at night isn't so hard,
but it's just stressful to deal with drunken people.
You should be careful too.
Officer Choi at my substation is having a hard time...
because a drunken man tripped and got hurt while squabbling with him.
Keep in mind what Tae Jin said. Especially drunken women.
Gosh. Don't say things like that in front of Hae Chan.
- It's okay. I trust Dad. - That brat.
You must be worried about him, right?
I'm sure it'll be resolved well.
That... That's 100,000 dollars, right?
No way. I can't believe this.
Officer Choi, you've been saved. You'll be okay now.
I can't believe my own eyes.
How many zeros... Is it really 100,000 dollars?
I knew it.
This is how great Chamsu-ri Substation is.
You didn't know it'd turn out like this.
I heard you were negative about the fund-raising.
"Should I donate 3,000 or 5,000 dollars?"
Mr. Park said you were worried so much.
That brat always talks about other people behind their backs.
Mr. Cha, thank you so much. I don't even know...
how to repay your kindness.
I'm relieved. I'm glad it went well.
Hey, what is it? What's going on?
Officer Choi, did you cause trouble again?
Mr. Park!
My gosh. Stop it. It's disgusting.
What's the matter with you?
Mr. Cha, you've done great work.
You practically saved a person's life.
I didn't even do anything.
And you're modest too.
Please stop it.
Oh, right. How did the meeting with the witness go?
He said that it was a tall, slim man in a hat.
What are you talking about?
It's the description of the culprit that he saw on the scene.
Wasn't he mistaken?
He remembered that day too clearly to think he was mistaken.
You know that it's hard to remember someone's face,
but the height and physique are easy to remember accurately.
Besides, Mole is too short to be mistaken for a tall man.
That's true.
He said that that's what he said to the police at that time.
He could have been mistaken.
Memory errors occur so easily.
That's possible, but I'm still going to check it out.
Who is the man that Cha Tae Jin met last night?
Find out exactly who that was,
and report to me as soon as you find out.
Did they report the news yet?
I just got a call from my friend. He says it'll be reported soon.
It seems to be a good story since they collected over 100,000 dollars.
What? 100,000 dollars?
Cha Tae Jin will certainly become a celebrity.
Since they started, tell them to make him look really good.
All right. Let's go out and eat something for our hangover.
I'm sorry, but I have to meet someone.
Didn't you hear anything from Bo Ra?
Didn't she ask you to study abroad?
I heard that.
What are you planning to do?
I don't have any intentions of doing so.
Why? Is it because of your stupid pride?
Do Hyun.
If getting help from your in-laws hurts your pride so much,
you can repay me later when you become successful.
Anyway,
I don't want to let others make decisions for me anymore.
Then what about Bo Ra?
Do you not care about how she feels?
If she has asked you for that, it means she's greatly distressed.
Don't you even care if she's distressed or not?
Do Hyun.
Don't you think of what she's done for you?
She threw away everything for you.
But you can't throw away your stupid pride?
You said that you love Bo Ra.
Please don't put it that way.
You're making me uncomfortable.
- Hey, Su Hyuk. - This is between me and Bo Ra.
It's not something you can order me what to do about.
I'm disappointed.
I didn't know you would care about Bo Ra only this much.
What if Bo Ra says she can't live there?
What would you do if she can't bear to live in that house?
Unless you want to lose her,
you better make a wise decision.
Hey. Aren't you the kid I met before?
Hello.
Why are you looking so down?
Did something happen?
Yes. It's because I'm lonely.
Do you even know what being lonely feels like?
It feels like being left alone.
What did you say?
My friends went to a birthday party without me.
My grandma thinks that I'll be there,
so she's not home right now.
Are you saying that those kids left you out...
and went to the party without you?
Those mean kids.
Gosh. There's nothing to cry about. Stop crying.
Let's play together.
There must be a lot of delicious food at the party.
What kind of food?
Fried chicken and pizza.
Pizza?
I can buy you that. Let's go.
Is there a pizzeria nearby?
It's over there, but it's very expensive.
How expensive could it be? Let's go.
- Pizza? - Yes.
I see. The old lady you helped at the playground?
Yes. She bought me pizza, so I ate it.
Grandma, I'll go and brush my teeth.
Okay.
My goodness. Woo Ri is going to make friends with an old lady.
She's so friendly with strangers just like Goong Hwa.
Hello?
Right now?
Okay. Hold on please.
- You can look after Woo Ri, right? - Of course. Go ahead.
Yes. Okay.
Yes. I'll see you there.
Why did you want to see me?
I had something to discuss with you.
What is it?
It's about Bo Ra.
I'm glad you brought that up.
I've been wondering about that.
I mean, she's been so quiet lately. And she rarely laughs.
You must know why she's acting like that since you're her brother.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but I want you...
to send Bo Ra and Su Hyuk abroad for studies.
I'll prepare everything they need, so please don't worry.
What is this?
Because of Woo Ri...
I've wanted to get you a house where Woo Ri can run around.
Are you saying that this is a house deed...
It's not that large,
but I think it's big enough for you, Officer Moo, and Woo Ri.
It's in the suburbs, so it's nice and quiet.
This isn't right.
Ms. Lee.
It would've been better if Bo Ra was honest with us.
Please don't get the wrong idea. This isn't coming from her.
It was all my idea.
By any chance, is this what you told Su Hyuk too?
Do Hyun talked to me about studying abroad.
What if I don't accept that offer?
What will happen to us?
Su Hyuk.
Will you leave me if I say that I don't want to go?
Will you really go that far?
Look at me in the eye.
I must look at you in the eye while you give me your answer.
Can you really leave me?
No, right?
You can't. I know you.
You... This isn't you.
Be honest with me.
Why are you being like this?
No.
You had the wrong idea about me.
I am this kind of person after all.
This is me.
Are you saying this is how you really are?
Then was everything you've shown me all fake?
- I'm sorry. - I told you to never say it again.
But what can I do?
It's all I can say.
Bo Ra.
All right. Do whatever you want.
If this is what you really want.
Come here.
What do you want to do here?
Let's play a game. The loser will buy the winner lunch.
Why? You don't think you can win?
My gosh.
He's good.
When did you learn how to play baseball?
I used to be a baseball player.
Then you should've told me.
Isn't this cheating?
You dragged me in there out of the blue and bet lunch.
Just buy me lunch.
Don't worry too much.
About the accident of Woo Ri's dad.
It mustn't have been easy for you to ask me about it either.
Frankly, I did feel uneasy.
Anyway, we're not dealing with it as a personal matter. It's a case.
And I'm a police officer.
Personal matters should be kept separate from work.
I think I'm fully qualified as your partner.
Are you confident that you won't falter no matter what happens?
Yes.
We must solve this case and catch Mole...
to set me free from the agony it has caused me.
I'll do my very best to make it happen.
So you should do the same. If anything happens,
don't keep it from me, and tell me honestly.
All right.
You really promised me.
Yes, I promise you.
("Co-workers Raise 100,000 Dollars for a Police Officer in Debt")
I can't believe this. It's about us.
Look. There's a picture of Mr. Cha too.
Amazing.
But how did this article get written?
Reporters practically live at police stations, you know.
Mr. Cha might become a celebrity at this rate.
I contributed to that, right?
They say that you never know what tomorrow may bring.
My gosh, so many people commented on this article.
I'm not surprised. Many horrible things have been happening,
so people must've been waiting for such heart-warming news.
And Chamsu-ri Substation has made the police proud.
Shouldn't we have a team dinner to celebrate this?
Of course we should.
Let's sort out everything for Officer Choi by tomorrow...
and go out for drinks, okay?
("Co-workers Raise 100,000 Dollars for a Police Officer in Debt")
Wouldn't there be a reason if he made such a decision?
You know him.
He wouldn't make decisions like that for no reason.
My gosh! Isn't this Tae Jin?
Oh, my. I remember him mentioning something about this in the morning.
My goodness, isn't this Tae Jin?
I must say, he's so impressive.
He helped a co-worker who was in such a difficult situation.
I know that he's my brother, but he really is amazing.
The elders probably don't know about this yet.
You stay here. I'll go home quickly and tell them about this.
This will make their day!
Mom.
What's wrong?
It doesn't look like Mother ate anything for lunch.
She didn't even touch this soup.
She didn't eat much at breakfast either. Is her stomach upset?
Mom, why did you skip lunch?
Don't worry. I ate.
What did you eat? You didn't eat any of the rice.
I ate pizza.
Why did you eat pizza when you were feeling queasy?
Whom did you meet? You rarely eat pizza.
Stop bothering me, and leave me alone.
Since when did you two have that much interest in me?
Mother! Father! Please come out for a second!
Goodness, what's all the fuss about?
Look at this. It's an article about Tae Jin.
My gosh, really? What is it about?
As you can see, Tae Jin did such a good deed.
It's such an impressive story.
You're right.
I want to see it too.
He may become the commissioner general down the road.
He sure has a bright future ahead of him.
I mean, he's already a celebrity.
He's very capable, and he also has a heart of gold.
He's handsome too.
Yes, that's right! He's good-looking too.
My gosh.
It's such a great photo of him.
Well, he looks amazing in every photo anyway.
Congratulations, Mr. Cha Sang Chul.
Thank you. This certainly deserves congratulations, right?
Shouldn't we throw a party to celebrate this?
My gosh, where's my mind at?
We should tell Mother about this too.
- She's feeling downcast. - Oh, okay.
My goodness.
Are you feeling all right?
Yes.
You must've been really worried.
Don't even get me started.
You should've at least called me.
I couldn't even call you because I didn't want to get you in trouble.
I was so worried.
I'm sorry.
I have been too busy these days.
So? How are you doing now?
I'll tell you the details after everything gets sorted out.
Mom.
I've lived with them for years, thinking of them as my family.
I don't want to talk ill of them.
You're really okay, right?
I told you not to worry.
Is everything okay with your family?
What about Tae Jin? Did nothing happen to him?
Something happened to him.
In fact, something incredible happened.
What do you mean?
In fact, his colleague got himself into trouble ...
while dealing with a drunken man, and he almost lost his job.
But Tae Jin helped him out to resolve the matter.
A news article about it came out today.
Didn't you know?
Tae Jin has become a celebrity.
How did that happen?
He posted the story on the police website for fund-raising.
He collected over 100,000 dollars in only a few days.
Is that so?
I'm sorry for asking you to stay when you should go home.
- That's okay. - Mr. Park told me about it briefly.
So have you looked into it?
The statement was different from what the witness said.
What are you talking about?
The witness told me that he said it was a tall, slim man,
but it's written in the statement that he's short.
As if they made the description suit Chun Young Bae.
What did you say?
Are you saying that the statement was fabricated?
What did Mr. Jin ask for you? Why are you acting like this?
- To send Su Hyuk and Bo Ra abroad. - What?
He also brought the deed of a new house for us.
It looked like he had met Su Hyuk before seeing me.
I wonder how Su Hyuk is doing right now.
Mr. Cha.
I'm at the playground in front of your house.
Let's drink.
You read the news article, right?
I made sure that we wouldn't have any problems later.
I finished my part of our deal.
If you finish up the rest from inside the police, it'll be done.
Something I worried about has happened.
It seems that Cha Tae Jin started to digging on your case again.
I think he met the witness.
Is there anything that can cause us trouble?
I fixed the statement a little as Chairman Jin asked me to do.
I wrote that the culprit was short and slim just like Chun Young Bae.
I'm sure that the witness described the man just as he saw.
What brings you all the way here?
I thought I should tell you as I promised you.
It seems like...
Mole isn't the culprit who killed Woo Ri's dad.
What are you talking about?
I think...
someone else killed him.
(Lovers in Bloom)
I think I should go back home.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I found out that the lawyer who defended Mole at that time...
was working for Chairman Jin.
- What is it that you want? - I'll leave with Bo Ra.
You're going to have a grandchild.
A child from that family.
You can drop out of this if you feel uncomfortable.
No. I can't avoid it just because it's difficult for me.
Why didn't you come when I asked you to meet me?
I'm sorry for breaking your heart.
I hope I can at least remain as a good person in your memory.
