(Episode 8)
- Did you like the food? - Yes.
(One year later)
Thank you. Come by again.
Give me that. I'll clean up.
I'll do it. You go and rest.
- Was it hard work? - Not at all.
You work like this every day.
We've been having more customers recently.
That's only because your soup tastes so good.
Let me do the dishes.
I can manage.
- Give it to me. - No.
What are you two doing?
Hello, Dal Ja. Are you feeling any better?
I tried all sorts of folk remedies but medicine works best.
I'm fine now.
I thought you had a little too much at breakfast.
It's all your fault.
Your marinated crab was just too good.
You're so funny.
Now that I'm here, you can go home and rest.
Are you sure?
Of course. Don't worry.
You have to drop by the hanbok place. Go.
I'll go, then.
See you.
- Bye, see you later. - Bye.
It's so beautifully made.
I've been doing this for 40 years...
and I've never seen someone as good and punctual as you.
Thank you.
I put in a little more than last time.
You didn't have to.
Thanks so much.
I should be thanking you.
There aren't many people with your skill.
Is everything okay at home?
Are there any problems?
Yes. I wish every day were like today.
You've been living in that house for over a year now.
It must've been hard at first, but now you're practically family.
Thank you for finding Dong Chul a job.
I meant to thank you sooner.
Don't thank me.
He won't be used to factory work. Do you think it's hard for him?
He can only do his best.
So as not to harm your son's business.
Oh dear.
- Mr. Yoon. - Yes?
What? What is it this time?
How many times did I tell you?
I said the leather has to be dried properly.
How many days were these dried for?
I dried them for 3 days. Was it 4 days?
They must be dried properly for the leather to be even and smooth.
Do you know how many defects you caused?
Don't you want to work?
Fine, I'll be more careful from now on.
You always say that.
Please, put your mind to it and think about what you're doing.
That little jerk. I let people trample all over me.
- I put up with too much. - Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Yoon, Mr. Yoon.
What are you doing here?
- He's back. - Who's back?
Mr. Kwon, that scumbag is back.
Are you sure? Where is he?
Window maker Mr. Kim saw him at the terminal this morning.
Did he? Wait until I get him.
Wait for me.
Mr. Yoon, your shift isn't over yet.
Mr. Yoon!
What happened? Are you sure it was him?
Yes, I'm sure. He was dressed so shabbily that...
I lost him while wondering if it was him.
So, he came back to Incheon himself, did he?
Good. You stay here.
- Okay. - Mr. Bang.
You search the next village. I'll look around here.
Okay.
We must catch him this time, okay?
- Let's go. - Okay.
Good luck.
Stick this in here.
Hey! Why did you do that?
Silence, everyone. Be quiet.
(Snow White)
I will kill the princess this time.
Hello? Is anyone in?
Who's there?
Buy an apple. They're the sweetest apples in all the land.
The apples look really delicious.
I wish I could have one.
What's wrong?
"But I can't open the door."
But I can't open the door. I won't buy from you.
Don't say that. Why don't you smell the apple, then?
It does smell nice.
"It looks delicious."
Se Young, have you still not memorized your lines yet?
There are too many lines.
Soo In seems to have memorized hers and yours as well.
Memorize everything by next week, okay?
Okay.
Who are you? What do you want?
Could I see the CEO?
Do you have an appointment?
Well, I didn't really make prior arrangements.
He'll know me as Mr. Kwon.
Just a moment, please.
Come in.
Sir, Mr. Kwon is here to see you.
Mr. Kwon?
Sir, it's me.
Oh, hello, it's been a while. Have a seat.
Excuse us.
- Shall I bring tea? - No.
What are you doing here?
I thought you left Incheon.
It's been a year and I'm back.
Incheon has changed a lot.
How are you?
What do you want? Why are you here?
I'm actually going through a very rough time.
I left my hometown to move to a place where no one knew me...
and I started a few businesses that all flopped.
As you see now, I'm practically a beggar.
What do you want me to do?
I believe our transactions were fulfilled.
That's why I'm back to ask for a favor.
I conned all my childhood friends before I left one year ago.
I have no one to ask for help.
Help me out, sir.
You came to the wrong place.
Please leave.
You can't say that to me now.
I left my hometown trying to do your bidding.
What?
Everyone in Incheon can't say enough good things about you.
You're always willing to help the orphans...
and the underprivileged.
Are you threatening me?
Not at all. I'm just saying that...
you have a reputation as a very generous man,
and I'm sure you won't turn away someone in need like me.
Very well.
I knew you would help me.
I'll need some time to get the money.
Of course, and I can wait.
It wouldn't look good on your part if I were to come here again.
I'll be at Incheon Guesthouse.
Okay, stay there. I'll come by tonight.
Yes, sir, and I'll be waiting. Thank you.
Have you seen the swindler Mr. Kwon?
No.
Have you seen Mr. Kwon? He's tall and thin.
Gosh.
Excuse me. Have you seen Mr. Kwon?
- No, not recently. - Where is he?
There you are.
Who are you?
I'm so sorry.
Where did this fool get to?
Oh well.
Dal Ja, you only have to take off the layer with dirt on it.
That layer is dry and hard to take off on its own.
So you take off a perfectly fine clean layer and throw it away?
Okay, I'll be more careful. You're too frugal for your own good.
You've been smiling all day. It seems like you're in a good mood.
I'd have no worry in the world if life could always be like this.
What do you mean?
Think about it. Dong Chul's working at a leather factory,
the kids are getting along and everything's good. It's great.
Dong Chul hasn't been working for that long yet.
We have to wait and see. He quit after a week or two...
too many times before for us to trust him already.
I'm having the best tailor in town make...
your Snow White costume.
You will look so pretty in a princess costume.
Did you tell Grandma and Grandpa?
Yes. They'll come to see your play.
- Will they really? - Of course.
You're their only grandchild, so they said they won't miss it.
Have you memorized all your lines?
Not yet.
Not yet? Why not?
There's too much.
I guess, you are the lead.
Memorize them as quick as possible. Dad will come as well.
He's upset that Soo In's doing better than you...
since you started 4th grade.
You need to make him happy.
Red bush clover and a paulownia tree.
That means luck will come my way which means I will be rich.
I like this. Today is my lucky day. I scored.
He's here with my money.
Hello, Mr. Kwon.
What are you doing here?
Why are you doing this to me?
Did Mr. Jung send you?
You should've thought hard before you went to see him.
You fool.
What did you say?
You jerk!
Hold him up.
Hello, sir.
Now do you get the point?
Why are you doing this, Mr. Jung?
This isn't what we agreed upon.
You're the one who broke the agreement first.
How dare you threaten me.
How dare you.
I will reveal what you are truly like.
I will tell everyone what you're really like.
I won't let you walk away with this!
To do that, you'll have to survive the night.
Too bad.
What?
I will deal with him, sir.
Don't do that.
He hasn't gotten the message. Just scare him a bit.
Beat him a bit and when he gets the point,
pay him off.
Yes, sir.
Don't hit him too hard.
Stop it!
What's wrong with him? Mister.
Boss, I think he's unconscious.
Did he faint?
What the heck. Hey, mister.
Stop kidding around. Mister, wake up.
Boss, I think something went wrong.
What? Shake him awake.
Wake up. This isn't a joke. Get up.
Someone's coming.
Hide.
Mr. Kwon, you idiot.
Where the heck is he?
Who's there?
Hey.
Hey, mister.
Wake up. Are you okay?
Who's this? Mr. Kwon.
Wake up, Mr. Kwon.
Help! We need help over here! Help!
Help us!
Is anyone there? Help!
Mr. Kwon. Can someone help?
I will reveal what you are truly like.
I will tell everyone what you're really like.
I won't let you walk away with this!
Gosh.
(Treatment Room)
So,
he was already unconscious when you found him?
You didn't see him getting beaten up.
No. He was alone on the ground when I found him.
How did you come to find him?
I'd been searching Incheon all day to find that jerk.
Then I found him by chance.
Why were you looking for him?
He conned me of my savings and disappeared last year.
He conned you?
Yes.
Do you think I can get back the money...
he took from me?
We'll have to question him when he wakes up.
I'll come and see you if I have any further questions.
Sure.
He's unconscious?
And? Did you take him to a hospital?
No, we didn't take him.
A passer-by found him and got him help.
Do you mean there's a witness?
No. The passer-by found Mr. Kwon...
after we'd left the scene.
Who found him?
Do you remember Yoon Dong Chul who owned an earthenware store?
Earthenware store owner, Yoon Dong Chul?
Yes, but he didn't see anything.
You don't have to worry.
Okay. Did you happen to find a watch nearby?
No, we didn't. Did you lose your watch?
No. Keep an eye on things and give me an update.
I'll do that, sir.
Earthenware store owner Yoon Dong Chul...
Did he take it?
Wait, so you're telling me...
you took a dying Mr. Kwon to hospital?
Yes. He'd been beaten to a pulp.
Who do you think did it?
I have no clue.
There are so many others like us who hold a grudge against him.
It would be one of them.
I was getting prepared to beat him up myself once I found him.
Seeing him on the ground in that mess made me feel sorry for him.
- Emotions are a strange thing. - Don't be silly.
He took our money and disappeared. He deserves no mercy.
I'm worried about him, that's all.
I do hate him for what he did, but he's at death's door.
He is, but he might disappear again as soon as he gets better.
You and I need to keep a close eye on him.
Of course we should.
What on earth is going on?
I need to get my money back.
Why is it so cold tonight?
Oh, right.
Mr. Kwon. Wake up.
What happened to you?
Get up, Mr. Kwon.
Mr. Kwon. Stand up.
Is anyone there?
Is this his?
Where did he get it? It's so cold.
Where's Dong Chul? Why isn't he back yet?
Did he say if he had plans?
He didn't mention anything this morning.
Do you think something's wrong?
Maybe he's out having a drink.
I'll finish up. Go inside.
Okay, then.
Oh, right.
Soon Ok.
Take this.
What is it? Money for expenses?
Yes.
I said I don't want your money. I'll shout if you keep this up.
I feel so bad though.
What for? We're family.
Save it up for Min Jae.
You need to start saving to send him to college.
Soon Ok...
What are you doing out here?
- You're back. - I am.
Are you waiting for Dong Chul?
Yes. Did you see him anywhere today?
No, I didn't.
He'll be somewhere having a drink.
Right. I guess so.
Don't worry too much. He'll be home soon.
I'll head inside, then.
Sure.
Why are you out here in the cold?
Why are you home so late? Did you have a drink?
No, not at all.
Did something happen?
Mr. Kwon was...
Let's go inside. I'll tell you everything.
Oh dear.
Daddy, did you have a good day?
Yes, Min Jae. Why are you still up?
- Did you eat dinner? - Yes.
That's good.
You draw really well, son.
Finish it up.
Okay.
What happened? Did you find Mr. Kwon?
I heard from someone that he was back in Incheon.
Did you catch him?
Yes, I found him, but I'm not sure I caught him.
He's in hospital.
What do you mean by that?
I'd searched the whole city looking for him when I found...
a man lying in an empty lot and it was him.
Was he robbed?
I don't know and don't care.
I just want my money back.
What about your job?
What?
Well...
Dong Chul.
Don't you worry. I'll explain myself tomorrow.
We found Mr. Kwon too.
I'm starving. I'll go and wash up. Bring me some dinner.
Okay.
Oh dear.
There. It's finished.
It's a watch.
It's so pretty.
Do you mean there's a witness?
Do you remember Yoon Dong Chul who owned an earthenware store?
Min Jae.
Come inside. It's cold out.
Okay, Mom. Isn't this a nice watch?
It is. Now come inside. It's so cold.
Hello?
How is he?
He's still unconscious.
The police are investigating.
Investigating? Oh no.
It's not ideal but there are no witnesses...
and Yoon Dong Chul found him after we'd disappeared.
There should be no problem. Don't worry, sir.
There could be a problem.
Pardon? What do you mean?
I dropped my watch there that night.
Now Yoon Dong Chul's son has it.
Do whatever it takes to get my watch.
I need it back.
I'd memorized everything perfectly at home,
but I keep making mistakes in front of our teacher.
Shall I help you practice?
Will you do that? Let's go to your home and practice.
My home?
Yes, I'd been wanting to see Min Jae. Let's hurry.
Okay.
You're a great friend.
What do you mean?
Do you want me to quit?
I left work early yesterday and came in a bit late today.
You can't fire me for that. That's unreasonable.
You left without a word and came in late without calling.
That's reason enough to let anyone go.
I told you I had urgent business.
It had to be taken care of.
You can't just fire someone who just started working here.
How dare someone who just started have such a terrible attitude?
What did you say?
I'll pay you for the number of days you worked so far.
Take it and leave.
Wait, wait.
What a mess.
Gosh.
It's such a small house.
Hello? Hello? Is anyone in?
The table's full of delicious-looking food.
What's next?
"Will it be okay to eat a little?"
- I want to stop. - Why?
- Let's keep going. - I'm hungry.
Let's get something to eat.
I have no money.
I do. Mom gave me pocket money today.
Min Jae, do you want dumplings?
Dumplings? Yes, I do.
Soo In, let's take Min Jae and get some dumplings.
Soo In, can we go, please?
Okay.
Dumplings!
Is it good?
He's so cute when he eats.
Do you remember?
You said you hated him and told me to have him.
Hey.
Do you still feel the same?
No. Not anymore.
Soo In, why aren't you eating? Have some.
Okay, I will. Eat all you want.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Bye.
I'm full. Are you full, Min Jae?
- Yes. - Let's go home now.
These are so pretty.
Aren't they pretty?
They are.
It suits you. Shall I buy it for you?
No, you don't have to.
Let's get identical hairpins.
Will we look like twins if we both wear them?
Pick one.
Kid.
Do you want a candy?
Ta-da.
I'll give you all these if you come with me.
Where to?
Where did Min Jae go?
Min Jae? Where did he go?
He was right here.
Min Jae!
- Min Jae! - Min Jae!
- Min Jae! Where are you? - Min Jae!
- Min Jae!
- Min Jae! Where are you?
- Min Jae! - Min Jae!
- Where are you?
Min Jae!
- Where is he? - Oh no.
Does he think he's the only one who employs people?
This mess is all Mr. Kwon's fault.
Min Jae.
- Can you help us? - Have you seen a little boy?
Soo In.
What are you doing here?
Dad.
What's wrong?
Min Jae...
Min Jae's missing.
What? Min Jae's missing?
Why didn't you watch him?
I'm sorry.
This is a symbol of our friendship.
This won't do. Soo In, you play Snow White.
Miss!
My daughter's playing the lead. Of course I should go.
Why don't you go and ask Soo In?
Sorry.
I want to fly a kite.
Min Jae!
You couldn't take a watch from a child?.
