(Episode 59)
Where is she, and why isn't she answering her phone?
Since she's too busy, I'll have to eat with my son.
Yoon, it's me.
Ma'am, it's bad news.
Ms. Jung was let go by the police.
What?
Mo Ah was released? How?
Mother, what brings you here?
Hello, ma'am.
Ms. Cha had her released.
Mother.
Young Hwa, where have you been?
At the police station.
What for?
There was a misunderstanding, so I helped Nam Sil out.
Why would you be the one to help her out?
It's not your job to sort out her mess.
Aren't you busy enough?
Nam Koo...
Don't mention his name in front of me.
I already told you never to see him again,
but why were you at the police station?
I'm sorry, but it wasn't a big deal.
It was only a misunderstanding.
She was being accused of a theft she didn't commit.
Then let the police handle it.
Who do you think you are doing their job for them?
She's modeling for me, so what happens to her is my concern.
What?
She's modeling for you?
I'm sorry for not mentioning it sooner.
I thought you already knew.
You've got to be kidding me.
Young Hwa has no idea how she's ruining my plans.
Mother, why are you so upset?
I'm sorry about that.
I thought...
I thought you were still seeing Nam Koo.
Nam Sil, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
We need to get to the photo shoot,
so tell me why you came by.
I just came to have lunch with you.
Anyway, can I perhaps sit in on her photo shoot?
Sending her away won't do the trick.
When will the ad be published?
Next week.
Isn't that too fast?
Today's our last photo shoot.
Why her of all people? She's nothing but a plain Jane.
She doesn't seem to fit the brand's image,
so how about changing the model?
I can't.
Nam Sil has amnesia.
- So? - I want to help her.
Her family will recognize her once the advertisement is published.
Okay, good job. We'll take five.
- Let's have some coffee. - Sure.
- How did I do? - You were great.
Ma'am, are you all right?
Oh, it's nothing.
My blood pressure went up because it's too warm inside.
You can't have her model for you.
Why not? At least give me a good reason.
Let's say that she found her family thanks to the advertisement.
What if they're a bunch of goons?
What if they cause trouble?
I doubt it.
Besides, I can handle whatever happens to me.
It's not just your reputation on the line.
What if she's from a questionable family?
By hiring her as a model, you'll hurt your business...
and ruin your dad's chances at the election.
I guarantee you that she's a good person.
You just don't get it.
You know nothing.
You absolutely know nothing about her.
I might not, but she still saved Jae Min's life...
and that's good enough for me.
He accused Nam Sil of theft?
You should've let him rot in jail.
There wasn't any proof, so we just let it go.
How was the photo shoot?
Yes, my advertisement will be published next week.
Why on earth are you holding up a victory sign?
You were nearly in tears at the station.
Look who's talking.
You were the one brimming with tears.
Nam Sil, here you go.
What's this?
Your monthly salary. I'm sorry it's too little.
Don't look at me unless you're willing to give me that.
Thank you.
You must be tired, so call it a day.
I'll wrap things up here tonight.
Let's close up together mom.
It's all right, so head home.
It's too much.
How much did she give you?
That's not for you to know,
but I'll buy you something today.
- Buy me what? - That's a secret.
Why TMO department of all places?
Because we know Ms. Hong.
It's better than shopping at a stranger's.
She wouldn't even appreciate it no matter how much you buy.
What should I get?
Nam Koo, what do you want?
This looks awesome.
What are you looking at?
I need a new watch, so buy me this.
Sure, why not?
How much is it anyway?
Not much.
About 1,500 dollars.
So can I have it?
You're unbelievable.
Follow me.
Fine, I'll choose something cheaper.
Just buy one already.
Long johns are all the same anyway.
What color does your mom like?
I don't know, so buy whatever you want.
I'll buy this for your mom,
and this for your sister.
Let's see.
It suits you.
I thought you were buying my mom's.
It's actually yours.
Whatever. I'll just use it as a rag.
I almost forgot that your boxers are almost like rags.
That's what I'll get you.
Be quiet for crying out loud.
Then don't put them in the laundry.
What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?
- Don't be shy. - Stop it.
Just buy me anything.
I'd rather not.
Let's go.
We'll use your idea to focus on the home shopping first.
Hui Joo, can you ask Mr. Ma for the reports?
Sure.
I heard you asked my uncle...
to put me back on the team.
Yeah, I just wanted to work with you on this,
and patch things up between us, brother.
You have quite the power for a newbie.
It's nothing compared to the CEO's son.
Why did you stop talking when I entered the room?
It's nothing.
- We should carry on. - Something's fishy.
Mo Hyuk, did you speak ill about me behind my back?
No, I didn't.
Well, we'll soon find out.
- What's that? - Didn't you know?
I record all meetings...
since I hate writing things down.
(Play recording)
I hear you asked my uncle...
to put me back on the team.
Yeah, I just wanted to work with you on this,
and patch things up between us, brother.
Brother?
Do you two personally know each other?
- Well... - That's right.
We were good friends ever since the grade school.
Grade school?
Why didn't you say anything?
To keep things professional.
We didn't want others to feel uncomfortable.
No way.
Now I see you two in a different light.
You better not be...
talking about Mo Ah at the office.
That'd make you uncomfortable.
I will never mention her, so don't worry.
You know, it's not too late for you to quit.
Your aunt must be worried.
She knows and has given me her blessing.
I'll help in any way I can until you become the CEO.
You can count on that.
Then why are you chummy with my uncle?
Because you lack power at the moment.
Being on his side will help you in the long run.
Sure, I thank you in advance.
I'll get back to work then.
What now?
Mo Hyuk...
needs to go.
I told you to leave him be.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
Why not?
Does he remind you of Mo Ah too much?
Listen to me carefully. He's our hostage.
He's our hostage for when Mo Ah comes back.
Your mom will protect Jae Min,
but Mo Hyuk has no one.
Like I'd believe that.
Why would I be helping him then?
Who would Mo Ah go to first when she comes back?
You? Me?
Your mom?
It's not even your dad. It'll definitely be Mo Hyuk.
I still don't trust your intentions.
I want him gone.
Mo Ah isn't coming back anyway.
She doesn't know the neighborhood well,
so let her work the halls first.
Sure, that's a great idea.
What should I memorize first?
I memorized the phone number all day yesterday.
Why would that take you all day? You're quite the joker.
She's always been known for her jokes.
Don't read too much into it.
There's nothing to memorize.
Just receive money according to the menu.
That's nice. I love how big it is.
I guess I don't need this anymore.
Why do you have that?
I gave it to her.
I can see you're taking this seriously.
What else do I need to know?
Show customers to their seats, pour them some water,
take their order, and help them pay.
Help them pay? Doesn't that involve calculation?
It'll be pretty easy since we usually get couple of dishes...
like 1 jjajangmyeon and 1 jjamppong. Or 1 stir-fried rice.
4.5 dollars for jjamppong, 4 dollars for jjajangmyeon,
and 5 dollars for stir-fried rice is...
Don't tell me that you can't even add that.
She's only joking.
Nam Hui, let me show you the storage.
Don't do the math in your head,
but use the calculator instead.
That's a great idea.
I really like it here.
You won't be making any deliveries,
so keep that in mind.
That's a relief. I get lost easily.
Haven't you told them I'm intellectually disabled?
No, I haven't.
Why not? Do I embarrass you?
If I were, I wouldn't have brought you here.
I'm just waiting for the right time.
When would that be?
When you become someone irreplaceable,
I'll tell them for sure.
I see.
I doubt that'll happen though.
What are you doing here?
Nam Hui, it's time to get to work.
Sure thing, Boss.
- Can I talk to you for a second? - About what?
Come here.
Nam Hui's intellectually disabled.
Intellectually disabled?
Yes, so I need you to look out for her.
Can you do that for me?
That's odd. She seems clever to me.
Why not?
Why can't they just switch models?
Since Ms. Cha's leading the project,
they can't go behind her back.
Then find another way to make it happen.
All right.
You two were out late.
Jae Min and I went for a walk.
Jae Min, can you wait upstairs?
Sure.
This is a surprise.
Since when did he go for a walk with you?
We're doing better thanks to Nam Sil.
Better than before, at least.
What did she say to help you two?
It's nothing grand,
but her advice helps me get through to him.
Doesn't she have amnesia?
Distance yourself from her.
It's not like you know who she really is.
She seems like a good person.
I was thinking about inviting her home.
Don't you dare.
Keep going against my wishes,
and you'll regret it.
What do you mean by that?
Why would I regret it?
It's nothing.
Go and get some rest then.
A convenience store?
When I wanted to eat ramyeon,
she secretly took me to one.
I'd love to join you next time.
I thought you'd be late today.
The photo shoot ended early.
- Who's the model? - You wouldn't know.
She's not a celebrity.
You should've asked me then.
There are some pretty faces at my office.
It's unusual for you to show interest in my work.
Jae Min just told me where you two went today.
Thank you.
Jae Min, we promised to keep it a secret.
I forgot.
Why is there a cake? Is it someone's birthday?
I received my salary today.
Enough with that. I can't believe you didn't buy me anything.
You should've saved all the money you could.
It's no big deal.
Mom, open it.
My gosh, look how pretty this is.
Now it's my turn. Open sesame!
It's so pretty.
Did you buy the same one for yourself too?
We'd look pretty in matching pajamas.
I didn't buy one for myself.
Why not?
Well...
She'll be going home once the advertisement is published.
That's right. I almost forgot.
Do I have to sleep alone again then?
Don't be like that. We should be happy for her.
It wouldn't be the same without you though,
and now I'm sad too.
Even after you find your family,
can't you keep coming by to tutor Nam Koo?
There's no guarantee that I'd found them.
Promise me that you will.
She shouldn't have to once she's reunited with them.
Gosh.
He's upset that you didn't buy him anything...
so get him something while you can.
Let's study.
Have some cake first.
I don't feel like having any.
Why are you in a bad mood?
Is it because I'd be leaving soon?
I wish you the best.
Okay.
Even after you find your family, keep carrying around the whistle.
I will.
Sure.
Open your desk drawer.
My drawer? What for?
Just open it.
It's not expensive, but it sure can tell time.
For your information, I don't wear cheap watches.
It's so that you're always on time.
Keep to the schedule...
in terms of waking up and going to work.
No more slacking off.
What's that?
It's time to study, so open your book.
Is it also set to go off in the morning too?
Of course. Why do you think I got you this?
Aren't you exhausted?
You've been through quite a lot today.
I am, but I can manage.
Call it a night before you end up sleeping in my room again.
What are you doing?
Can you hand me that?
- This? - Yes.
Kang Nam Koo.
Prepared to be punished in the name of justice.
Take that!
What do you think?
You look nice,
but why do you have a wand?
It was a birthday gift from Nam Koo last year.
I see.
I should show this to him.
Are you sure that the photographer won't talk?
Only Young Hwa has the copies to the photos.
No, I'll do it myself.
(CEO Cha Young Hwa)
Are you busy? How about some lunch?
We'll go after I swift through the photos.
Can I also take a look?
Which one do you like the best?
I like the one where she's smiling brightly.
I agree.
Did you know your car window is open?
It's all right. There's nothing to take.
Stray cats can get in and ruin your car.
All right. I'll go and check on it.
Sure.
I'm sorry, but I mistakenly stepped on this.
What was it doing on the floor anyway?
I'm so sorry about this.
It's all right. The photographer has another copy.
Hello, it's me. Can you send me a copy...
of the photos we took by email?
What do you mean you lost them?
I thought I told you to stay at home today.
Why? There's nothing to do there anyway.
You never know. Those goons might come back again.
Do you have your watch on?
Go back home.
Hang on.
There it is.
How do I disable the alarm?
The constant beeping is getting on my nerves.
You know how to do it yourself.
Jong Dae, it's me.
I found them. I found Nam Sil's kidnappers.
What do you want me to do?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Is that Jong Dae? You can't go see him.
I won't be gone long.
Nam Koo!
When will he ever change?
(We are at your service.)
- Where are they? - In there.
- Are you sure it's them? - I'm not,
but one has a tattoo on the back of his hand.
They're not the guys you can mess with.
Let's just call the police.
And say what? We don't have any proof.
What are you going to do then?
I'll handle things, so wait out here.
Darn.
Who are you?
Do you know this woman?
How would we know her?
We don't.
Now get lost.
I think you know her.
Gosh.
I must have an upset stomach.
I'm here.
You...
Fancy seeing you here.
Who on earth are you people?
I got rid of the existing files, but how do I stop the reshoot?
Ma'am, we're in trouble.
I'll figure out a way to stop the reshoot.
That's not it. Kang Nam Koo found the goons we hired.
What?
Send men over to the auto shop now.
Where did Nam Koo run off to today?
He left after taking Jong Dae's call.
I knew he'd someday be at it again.
Who are you people?
Where is he?
Tell me!
Tell me where he is.
He's one of them, isn't he?
What a little weasel. Do you think there's more?
Who are you people...
and why are you after Nam Sil?
- I don't know her. - Tell me!
What's your connection to her?
Tell me everything you know about her.
If you don't, I'll kill you all.
We don't know this woman.
I told you we mistook her for someone else.
Nam Koo, that's enough.
Let the police handle it from here on out.
Darn.
Nam Sil, it's me.
The goons that came by the other day...
they came back.
I called the police, so there's no need for you to come.
What is it? Did something happen?
Keep an eye on them for me.
On my own?
That I can't do.
A neighbor filed a complaint.
We hear there's been a disturbance.
I'm so glad you're here.
These goons are kidnappers. Please take them into custody.
What happened? Where are they?
They came blazing in,
but left soon after.
Who are they? Do you know them?
Nam Koo!
What on earth is going on?
A noise complaint?
No one filed one from that neighborhood.
What's going on?
The police took them into custody.
We were tricked by impostors.
Who's looking out for them?
That was close.
What did I ever do to Kang Nam Koo...
for him to always be in my way?
I can't believe they tricked us.
We let them get away by being too naive.
Those weasels.
Could Nam Sil...
Could Nam Sil be someone dangerous?
- What do you mean? - Goons are after her.
They are even using fake police to get away with what they did.
What if she's someone's dirty little secret?
Maybe a politician's mistress.
Is that the vibe you get from her?
Of course not.
As a fence,
I can easily tell how people are.
Nam Sil is clearly an innocent nerd,
so this doesn't make any sense.
There's something odd about her.
She seems bright but has a dark side too.
Almost as if she's had her heart broken.
The innocent girl must've borrowed some money.
You should tell her to be careful for a while.
You never know.
Where were you all day?
I was out trying to piece your memory back together.
Were you successful?
I wouldn't be here right now if I were.
Since you skipped work today, you'll be studying all night.
What now?
You must've been shocked to see those goons again.
They can come all they want. I won't even bat an eye.
Nam Hui's courage must've rubbed off on you.
Actually, it's all thanks to you.
Putting up with you made me stronger.
Let's go home then.
It's nice to study while drinking coffee.
Could Nam Sil...
Could Nam Sil be someone dangerous?
Goons are after her.
They are even using fake police to get away with what they did.
Maybe a politician's mistress.
Why are you sighing?
Did you forget your homework again?
Nam Sil,
you don't have to leave if you want to stay here.
What do you mean by that?
Why wouldn't I want to stay with my family after I find them?
Well...
Just forget about it.
To be honest,
I'm scared now that my photos will soon be published.
Especially since weird things have been happening lately.
What if...
What if I were a gold-digger like you thought I was?
- What if you were? - What?
Then I'll turn over a new leaf.
I'll forget my old life and start afresh.
If I do, will you still accept me?
Jong Dae said this.
As a fence, he can tell how people are by looking at them.
According to him, you're innocent and borderline naive.
Thank goodness.
What does he say about you?
Me?
I'm born to be a gigolo, of course.
Why her of all people?
Keep going against my wishes, and you'll regret it.
Change the model immediately.
I'm sorry, but I accidentally stepped on this.
You know,
I think Young Hwa should quit her job.
Why would you say that?
She's just getting started.
She's too busy, that's all.
Besides, it's time you two had a baby.
We don't want to rush it.
It'll take forever if she's always this busy.
Also, staying at home will help her get closer to Jae Min.
They're getting on much better these days.
He doesn't call her mom though.
He still calls her by her name.
Speaking of the devil. Look who it is.
Young Hwa, it's me. Right now?
Sure, I'll be right there.
Now she's ordering her mother-in-law around.
This is the kind of person she is.
(Video file)
Why did you ask me here?
I thought I'd tell you in person so that you wouldn't worry.
I was able to recover Nam Sil's photo.
What?
If I press this, they'll start printing the advertisement.
To wish me good luck,
can you click it for me?
Come on. All you need to do is to just click it.
Let me do it for you then.
This is impossible.
Are you looking for this?
This is the security camera.
It didn't make any sense, so I checked the footage.
Why did you do this?
Well...
You see...
Tell me.
Why are you against Nam Sil's photo being published?
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
Why TMO Department store of all places?
We might risk running into Ms. Hong.
What now? My gosh, what a mess.
I knew that there was something going on.
- So this is where it crumbles. - Myung Sook.
Is it because of Nam Sil? Is she...
Do you think she's Jae Min's real mom or something?
Can I ask Nam Koo then?
Should I tell Young Hwa this?
Fine, I'll tell you the truth.
