(Episode 2)
Oh, hello, Mr. Cha.
Look who's here. The ace of Chamsu-ri Substation is here.
Hi.
Inspector Cha Tae Jin reporting back from the training. Salute.
Welcome back, Mr. Cha.
- Have you been well? - Yes, I have.
Goong Hwa and Gyung Pyo, you haven't met him before, right?
This is Inspector Cha Tae Jin.
He finished his three-month training.
This is...
I'm Policeman Choi Gyung Pyo. I was assigned last month.
It's nice to meet you.
Hello, sir. I'm in the same batch as Gyung Pyo. I'm Moo Goong Hwa.
She's undisciplined.
She had a drink before coming to work.
Mr. Cha, do you think this is acceptable?
She drank?
Everyone in the new batch is awful.
What did the police academy teach you?
You had a drink before duty?
You must be too drunk to answer me.
It's true that I had a drink,
- but I have my reasons... - Don't make any excuses.
Yes, sir. I won't make excuses.
Get out.
I said, get out. You can't patrol looking like that!
In fact, I called her back because of the motorcycle theft.
She's not on duty now, so let it slide just this once.
I will leave once I finish the report.
In this condition? Forget it.
I had a drink, but I'm not drunk. I'm sober.
Of course, you are. That's what drunk people always say.
People are not to blame.
Alcohol is to blame. Don't you think so?
Alcohol is not to blame.
People are to blame.
You came to me when you needed me
Gosh. Here we go again.
Get to work.
May I?
Sir, you must have drunken a lot.
What is your name, sir?
- Your name? - Gong Yoo.
What? You can't lie to a police officer.
What's your name?
Won Bin.
Could you tell me your wife's phone number? Your wife's number.
How dare you? You're supposed to protect citizens.
- You'll be in big trouble. - Sir.
You're all so undisciplined.
- Go get me some more drinks. - Sir...
Please ask him his family member's phone number.
Here you go.
Okay.
You're looking down on me.
If you were going to give me coffee, you should've made it hot.
Drinking hot coffee is bad for you as you're drunk.
Why did you drink so much?
You should've refrained yourself for your own health.
It's hard. It is so hard.
What's so hard?
Tell me. I'm all ears.
That sounds great. Similar people can understand each other.
Have a little chat as both of you are drunk.
That jerk, General Manager Kim,
made a fuss saying he didn't like all the restaurants I booked.
He makes me make coffee for him and wash his car.
Why would he take all the credits for what I've done.
Why are you making a fuss here complaining about him?
Wouldn't I become furious?
Of course, you would. Absolutely.
Something similar happened to me today.
Mr. Cha, don't you think she's taking it personally?
By the way, who are you?
You must be new here.
I'm a police officer. I'm a policewoman.
Does your rank on your uniform have 1 or 2 bars?
- Mine has two flowers. - Flowers?
The flowers that haven't bloomed will bloom in the end
Even though they are far away from here
- They will bloom - They will bloom
The flowers that haven't bloomed will bloom in the end
Great!
I wonder if she's okay.
Her face must be swollen a lot by now.
Why would she drink when she knows she's allergic?
I know. It's the anniversary of his husband's death.
She must have been heartbroken.
After he died in the accident,
her morning sickness started right after his funeral.
It broke my heart.
I shouldn't have said such a thing even though I was upset.
I told her to have an abortion.
I hadn't seen her crying her heart out like that.
I said such a horrible thing.
What if Woo Ri wasn't born?
Mom...
I feel bad that he was raised as an orphan.
He even died at a young age. I feel sorry for him.
He didn't have a chance to hold her in his arms.
Gosh. If he was destined to die so young,
why did he seduce my daughter and ruin her life?
I hate him.
It wasn't him. It was Goong Hwa.
- What do you mean? - She seduced him.
She's cool. You know that.
What did she like about him? He was penniless. She got married so early.
You know that she's always drawn to a pitiful man.
What everyone else would avoid was her reason to stick with him.
I wish she resembled me.
She's so softhearted like her dad.
She's not just softhearted. She's smart.
She'll be fine. Please don't worry.
I hope so.
They say good things happen to good people eventually.
They have to be fine.
Why you...
Why that...
Wait until I get my hands on you.
(Ms. Heo)
(Jin Bo Ra)
It has my name on it.
Happy birthday, my daughter.
Thank you.
In fact, I was upset because my knife got chipped today.
Really? I'll find a space for you in the building.
You should open your own restaurant...
instead of playing house with housewives.
How is she playing house? Why would you say that?
I know.
The cooking class I open is a lot of fun.
Even if I open a restaurant, I want to do it on my own.
I don't ever want to ask for your help.
Someone sounds confident.
I might not give you a penny if you act like that.
I won't change my mind even if you come crying to me in regret.
I won't regret it. I swear.
Honey, are you sure you told Do Hyun about the dinner?
- Why that... - Do Hyun!
- Over here. - Bo Ra!
Dad!
I'm sorry for being late.
Why are you so late?
Yes, you should've come earlier.
It would've been nice to eat together.
Come on. You already know.
Be quiet and order something.
I don't like the food here.
Dad, I told you to fire the chef.
Bo Ra's food is way better.
Worry about yourself...
before I kick you out.
Dad.
It's my birthday today.
Please. Okay?
Happy birthday, Bo Ra.
Tell me whatever you want.
I'll give you everything except the things I can't get.
Thanks, I will.
You said everything except the things you can't get. Okay.
Of course you should. Your sister almost died.
Dad.
Why don't you find some real work to do?
Who, me?
Why would you say that? I make more than I spend.
Even with just the arcade in Dongdaemun.
If I do a renewal on it and raise the rent,
do you know how profitable it will be?
You make it sound so easy.
Won't that cost anything?
You have to spend to make more.
Imagine what it'd be like if business gets busy.
You should let him do it.
From what I heard,
Hanguk Electronics is moving its offices to that area.
- Really? - Amazing.
Ms. Heo is always up to date.
It's because your father takes me everywhere.
I wouldn't know if it weren't for him.
You even know how to get in the good graces of everyone.
Why you...
Dad!
Why do you keep calling her Ms. Heo?
Call her mom.
Stop it, you're making the children uncomfortable.
Thank you.
Let's have something sweet for dessert.
- Sounds good. - Okay.
Have a good night.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm sure I've seen him somewhere.
What are you doing?
Throw this away with them. We're even now.
No way.
The cigarette butts!
Hi.
You're still up.
What about Grandma?
She just barely fell asleep.
Dad, even if everyone helps out,
this will all be on Hee Jin.
You should persuade Grandma and hire a caregiver.
Let's wait for a few days.
All right.
Did you decide to apply for criminal investigation or intelligence?
There has to be an opening first.
What about the promotion exam?
I'm trying to decide when to take it.
There are too many inspectors at the moment.
That's right. You'll have to quit if you don't get promoted...
within 10 years after becoming a senior inspector or superintendent.
I want you to become a commissioner general.
You should go to sleep.
All right. Let's go to bed.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
How is your face? Is it okay?
Yes. It's gotten much better.
I didn't know people were allergic to alcohol.
Thank goodness I'm not allergic. What do you find joy in?
- You must be happy. - Yes, very.
Hi, my friend!
It's been a while How are you?
I told you not to watch TV during meals.
I also told you not to leave rice in your mouth...
but to chew it carefully and swallow.
I saw you keep a spoonful of rice in your mouth for a while.
Did I tell you you'll lose your appetite or not?
Grandma, TV.
All right.
- What is this? Is it a whale? - Come on.
Mom.
Who glares at her mom like that?
Can I watch TV if I finish my food?
Yes, watch it after you're done eating.
Mom, don't let her watch TV while she's eating.
Stop nagging. Finish your food and go to work.
She's getting bad habits because of you.
That isn't true.
What are you saying?
You have no shame if you say that after leaving Woo Ri with Mom.
I'm used to it by now.
She always pushes me around after asking me to babysit.
I didn't mean that. I was just...
Woo Ri has to go to the dentist today.
Would it be okay for me to take her?
What? Yes.
- Your soup is cold. - Stop it.
Cold soup doesn't taste good.
I have to come here later.
Should I take Woo Ri?
No, you have to work.
It's okay. I'm at home with nothing else to do.
Why are you coming here?
I have a commercial shoot.
Can I go watch?
There's nothing to watch.
It'll be tiring. You shouldn't come.
I'll invite you when I have a big job.
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Five more minutes.
Dad was up all night, not you. Why are you so tired?
I had a restless night.
I was lying down, but I didn't get any sleep. Just like now.
I'm going to give Hae Chan a ride. Do the dishes...
and open the restaurant.
I have to come home and check on Grandma before I go.
All right, all right.
I told you to get up.
- Dad, Dad! - What are you doing?
What is wrong with you?
It's only been a day, but at this rate, you might collapse.
I think I'm going to collapse.
Mother might hear you. Lower your voice.
Tae Jin seems to have gone to work. Are you doing the night shift?
Yes.
Grandpa and Dad, good morning.
Son, get up early like me.
- You should eat. - Yes, Grandpa.
Let's go. You're running late.
Dad, I'll drive him to school and come back.
I'll be back shortly.
See you later.
What's that?
Hee Jin is so smart when it comes to matters regarding Hae Chan.
That's kind of a portable table.
Portable...what?
I can't believe I did this for you to let you sleep another 10 minutes.
I would be a good daughter if I do this for my dad.
Exactly. You should pay more attention to Grandpa.
Stop acting up. Put on your seat belt.
I can't drive you to the institute. Take the bus, okay?
Great Grandma is injured. I know you can't come to pick me up.
I'll pick you up when your class ends. Don't skip the class.
I know everything you have done.
You know that, right?
Gosh. Seriously.
I told you. You don't have to pick me up.
- Why are you yelling at me? - I'm not yelling at you.
All right. I hope we'll have a great day today.
Eat up.
Listen. The 100 days of "The Control of Abuse of Authority".
The first half of it just passed.
As the commissioner general is determined to root it out,
please be very careful about it.
It doesn't happen in our precinct,
but do not make your subordinates run your personal errands...
such as buying cigarettes, making coffee or washing your car.
Let's not do anything disgraceful and stay disciplined.
Be careful about the bribery act. That's all.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Goong Hwa, what's your specialty? I heard you learned boxing.
Boxing is my hobby. My specialty is running.
I can run 100m in 12 seconds.
That's awesome. She's like Usain Bolt.
Stop it. It's true that I'm fast though.
You comforted the drunk man well. You have great empathy.
Thank you.
However, drunken people scare me the most in the world.
Of course, they are scary.
The drunken man who was here last night was awful.
He was unbelievable, right?
Listen, everyone. As Mr. Park has injured his finger,
we'll switch partners.
Ms. Jang, pair up with Gyung Pyo.
Mr. Park, work here until your finger heals.
As for Goong Hwa, Mr. Cha, you pair up with her.
Pardon? Me and Mr. Cha?
I was Mr. Cha's partner, sir.
Do you want her to pair up with Gyung Pyo instead?
Both of them are newbies.
No, sir.
Get ready to patrol.
Mr. Cha.
Don't make her want to quit even before starting.
Go easy on her. Don't be too hard on her.
Goong Hwa, listen to Mr. Cha. You can do it.
I can do it.
Leave while I'm asking you nicely.
Let's not waste each other's energy.
You want me to leave like this? What am I supposed to do?
What else would you do? Are you going to stick like a gum?
I'm not running a charity.
My gosh.
I helped you earn a lot of money. Isn't that enough?
He doesn't even have a conscience.
The whole mall became successful because of my store.
Exactly. Use your ability and earn a lot somewhere else.
But...
I told you that today is the due date.
Do whatever you want.
I will go to your store with very scary men.
Sir, please... Sir.
(Seoul Building)
(Chairman Jin Dae Gab)
Hi, Dad.
Gosh.
Hi, Mr. Jung. Yes, yes.
Did you raise enough funds?
I'm sorry to hear that.
I wish I could help you soon.
Just wait a little longer.
I'm dealing with a complicated matter right now.
Once I resolve that matter, I can lend you the money.
Absolutely. Okay.
Sure. I will look into that too.
Okay. Talk to you later.
Gosh. What a jerk.
You'll never lend him the money. Why don't you just refuse it?
This is why I said you have a long way to go.
Who borrows money? You need people to run a business.
Fine. My head hurts after meeting one of my tenants.
Hey.
Other kids are dying to start a business with their dad's money.
Don't you even have ambition?
That's too complicated. What I'm doing is perfect for me.
You have such a good son.
A good son? I'm glad I don't have another son like you.
You can just manage your fortune and pass it on...
to me, your good son.
I'm just like you. I'll increase the fortune. I won't lose it.
Gosh. Just don't cause any more trouble.
Be careful with girls.
Please don't worry. I have an eye for ladies just like you.
I should find someone who is at least better than Ms. Heo.
How dare you?
Why is it so hard to call her Mom?
She should be chubby like other moms.
Maybe because she gives out a different vibe,
I can't seem to call her Mom.
She's so confident and pretty.
Bo Ra calls her Mom.
Bo Ra is such a nice person.
Ms. Heo and I can't get along with each other.
Appendectomy?
Are you okay now?
You should've told me yesterday. We're filming the show today.
What is it? He can't come?
Okay.
It's not like you did it on purpose. We'll figure something out.
Take good care of yourself. Bye.
Ju Young, find a substitute.
This is driving me crazy.
What are you doing here? Hurry up.
You know how bad-tempered our client is, right?
Yes, I do. I do know that.
Hello.
I'm here to switch phones.
- Please come in. - That's not necessary.
I just need to have my phone back.
Are you working in the food industry?
Are you a chef, by any chance?
I'm a cuisine researcher.
- Please help us. - Sorry?
First, prepare a zucchini.
Cut it in half lengthwise like this.
Cut the zucchini in half again.
Now, cut it into thin slices.
You can make it look like a pretty ginkgo leaf.
Let's prepare the carrot this time.
We're going to cut it into a pretty shape today.
Carve it on all sides like this.
Now that we cut the carrot... Oh, no.
- I might burn this. - Cut.
I need an assistant.
You do it.
Me?
Hey, I'm a planner and a director.
Do you want me to do that while holding the camera?
You can just do as I ask.
You want me to put on this apron?
No.
Or else, I can't finish this.
To garnish the meat,
we'll prepare mini paprika, broccoli, sweet pumpkin, and tomato.
I'll show you how to prepare mini paprika first.
You can cut it in half.
You have to remember...
to cut the green stem as well.
Look how pretty the shape is.
- Could you help me with the rest? - Okay.
- Cut it in half up to the stem. - Okay.
Thank you. You can do a good job, can't you?
Of course.
I'll start preparing the broccoli.
Cut it into bite-sized pieces like this.
Cut it so you can eat it in a single bite.
Next, I'm going to marinate the pork.
First, season it with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle it evenly on top.
Where is the pepper?
Okay.
Was that okay?
Don't you think she's much better than the previous chef?
You two also seem to get along.
Who cares about that? This isn't a drama.
- Okay, good job. - Good job.
Good job. Good job.
Wait, do you also do plating?
Can you make food look delicious?
Can you hand me the green grapes?
No, the green grapes.
These?
No, the green grapes next to it.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- Chinese delivery! - Over here.
What took you so long? I almost starved to death.
It's lunchtime. Give me a break.
Come on. Do we get anything on the house?
On the house? Of course you do.
Here you go. On the house!
The broth is delicious.
Woo Ri, should we go watch your uncle work?
- Uncle? - Yes.
He's filming a movie here today.
Really? I'm excited!
Filming something with a camera passes as a movie.
Let's go.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Are you Oh Gyung Ah by any chance?
No, I'm not.
Wait, you look like her.
Don't you know me?
I'm Lee Seok Ok, who used to own Mom's Table in Seongsu-dong.
I don't know what you mean.
Look at me for a second. Oh my.
It is you! Stop there!
Stop right there!
Catch that woman!
That woman ran away with my money.
Stop, Oh Gyung Ah!
Come here, Woo Ri.
Stop right there, Oh Gyung Ah!
Oh Gyung Ah! I can't run.
Oh Gyung Ah! Oh no. Oh Gyung Ah!
Stop right there!
No. Oh Gyung Ah!
Oh no.
Oh gosh.
No...
My 20,000 dollars.
- Grandma. - Yes?
It's okay, Woo Ri. It's all right.
There's a saying you run into your enemy at the worst place and time.
I don't believe it.
I'm so out of breath.
Who's that? Does he work at my building?
Yes, he was sent by the security company.
He's a former police officer.
He's a very nice and diligent man.
Diligence doesn't make you money.
Call the security office and tell them to send a young and tough man.
We need someone that can make us look good and chase away scums.
Okay.
Things seem to be quiet today.
It's a relief, isn't it?
I have a jinx and something happens whenever I say that.
Stop saying nonsense and focus on the job.
Got it.
I have a sixth sense for these kinds of things.
Aren't you curious about anything about me?
What should I be curious about?
What? Nothing.
I was just joking. Forget it.
What's going on over there?
Where?
I think they're fighting.
How could you do this to my restaurant?
I told you to stop!
- Continue. - I'm going to call the police.
Call the police. Please do.
We'd love for you to be arrested for squatting here.
- Please don't do this. - Bring it out.
Please don't.
Don't do this!
What is going on?
These men are causing trouble in my restaurant.
What do you mean? How is this your restaurant?
You should evacuate the building if the owner tells you to.
Buy the building if you think that's unfair.
Why would I move out? Do you know how I built this up?
I told you to buy the building if you think that's unfair!
Would the kind police officer get out of the way?
Stop that.
Why that...
So he's a police officer?
Please help me out.
(Lovers in Bloom)
We're going undercover tonight.
Don't do anything unnecessary.
- Report first and then take action. - Got it.
I'm not a thief and that belongs to my boyfriend.
Aren't you the thief?
Give me your wallet so I can see your ID.
Green color looks like purple to me.
I get that kind of jokes a lot because of my name.
They used the jokes to hit on me.
We're only following the law. Get out of my way.
What are you doing now?
Mr. Cha.
