(Lovers in Bloom)
Let go of me. I said, let go!
Let's go to the hospital.
Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I go back there?
Your baby is waiting for you.
I abandoned my baby. I abandoned him!
You shouldn't say such a thing that easily.
Other people abandon their babies easily too.
Both my birth mom and stepmom abandoned me.
Why can't I abandon my baby?
I'll abandon my baby too.
I don't care about the baby.
So you should do the same!
Send him overseas or to an orphanage in Korea!
Or put him in that box for abandoned babies!
How can you say something like that?
You said you were abandoned too. Then you should know.
Do you want your baby to live a life like yours?
Other babies have their parents who come and see them.
Your baby has no idea that he's been abandoned right after his birth.
Don't you pity your son who'd be crying and waiting for you?
You're right.
In certain situations some may need to give up their babies.
However, you cannot say such a thing even if everyone else does.
Because you're...
a mom.
You have the right to remain silent,
and anything you say...
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law,
and you have the right to consult an attorney.
(Episode 19)
Seo Hyun, get up.
We have to go to the police station for your interrogation.
Can I please see my baby just once?
I didn't even get to see his face properly.
I made a mistake.
I'm really regretting it, so please let me meet him just once.
Please? I won't run away ever again.
I'm serious. I mean it.
Please let me see him just once.
Just one time, please.
It's all my fault.
Please let me meet him.
Don't cry.
We should send her to the main station.
Mr. Lee, they will send her baby to a facility tomorrow.
Would it be possible to let her stay with him tonight?
- They will send him there tomorrow? - Yes.
That's what I heard when I called the hospital earlier.
She never even got to see his face.
We should let her, Mr. Lee.
Detective Kim. It's me, Lee Gyo Seok from Chamsu-ri.
Yes. I'm actually calling to ask a favor of you.
You know about the child abandonment case, right?
Yes, that's right. We'll send the mother to the station tomorrow.
Let's let her stay with her baby tonight.
I'll take responsibility for everything.
Yes, you can hold me accountable.
What? Okay. Don't work too hard.
It's done.
Thank you so much, Mr. Lee.
Then what should we do about tonight?
That's right. It's not like we can bring the baby here.
I'll stay with her.
Then...
Let's send the mother to the station tomorrow.
Officer Moo, you take care of them tonight, okay?
If you have any problem, call Mr. Cha immediately.
Yes, I will.
No.
You might hurt the baby. Be careful, Woo Ri.
Grandma, can I hold the baby just once?
No, Woo Ri. Just look at him.
She's right, Woo Ri. I'm looking at him from a distance too.
Fine. Mom, I want a younger sibling.
What?
Oh, dear. Go to the kitchen...
It's okay. Turn down the stove.
The seaweed soup might burn.
I'll do it.
- Did you cook seaweed soup? - Yes, I did.
Soo Ja said she got good seaweed,
so I brought some.
Thank you.
No worries.
It's because your baby boy has the luck to eat delicious food,
so you don't need to thank me.
Oh, my. My goodness.
Look at his earlobe.
He's born with good luck.
How adorable.
Give the mother some soup and rice.
You don't have to.
You should eat for your baby, not for yourself.
Su Hyuk, turn the heater on in the master bedroom.
But it's summer.
A woman who just had a baby needs to keep her body warm.
That way, she can maintain her health.
My body always aches because I didn't...
take care of myself properly after giving birth to you guys.
That's okay. I would feel too apologetic to stay here.
It's warm out anyway.
Then put an electric blanket on her bed instead.
Okay.
Here you go.
Mix the rice in the soup...
and enjoy it.
Please don't cry.
Here you go. Eat up. Come on.
He snored?
No, I didn't.
Are you saying that I'm lying?
Oh, my goodness.
He even snored when everyone else was so quiet.
Dad, I can't believe you.
Don't say that.
What's so wrong with snoring?
Besides, the opera was so boring.
I should've known when I saw the sign that said opera is art.
I told you to stay home.
I wanted to create a romantic mood on our date.
- A romantic mood? - Yes.
- We ate beef tripe hot pot. - I know.
Dad, that's not romantic at all.
You little... Don't tease me.
Oh, right. Can you fill up the bathtub for me?
Your mom kept glaring at me.
I was intimidated the whole time, so now my body aches.
Songs are supposed to be exciting like trot songs.
They all sounded like screaming ghosts.
Why would people pay hundreds of dollars for that?
You're so lucky to have a husband like me.
Gosh. Dad, come on.
I'll fill up the bathtub. You don't have to do it.
Okay.
- You're back. - Hi.
I'm home.
They watched an opera and had dinner together...
to make Mom feel better.
They ate beef tripe hot pot though.
An opera? Gosh.
Does that make her more elegant?
Don't ruin the mood. They're in good spirits right now.
Every single day is so dramatic.
You must feel better today.
- Can you make me a cup of coffee? - Sure.
- What is it? - What do you mean?
You look like you're upset.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
It happens to women sometimes.
Oh, is that so?
It's true that women are mysterious.
Sometimes I understand them. Sometimes I don't.
I should be able to see through them by now.
I'm sure you can't understand them at all.
You don't know what women like, what touches their hearts,
and what makes them sad.
You can't touch their hearts.
They just smile when a man is nice to them...
and weep when he's mean to them.
My goodness. What kind of women did you date?
In fact, a good man deserves a good woman. Right.
Gosh. You're acting up.
What kind of man is a good man?
A good man is kind, attentive,
and reliable.
A good person can recognize other good people.
Do you have any girl friends?
Friends, who are girls.
Why would I have one? That's unnecessary.
Why do you ask?
A friend of mine has a crush on a guy,
but he said he wants to be friends with her.
Your friend must be ugly.
Is... Is that so?
Men never ask a girl whom they want to date...
to be friends with them.
It means that the guy isn't attracted to your friend.
She said that he's really nice to her.
Tell her not to be too clingy, or he'll get sick of her.
No man likes clingy girls.
If a girl I'm not attracted to clings on to me,
it's worse than an ugly girl.
Then, what should she do?
She should be cool.
If she likes him, she should be cool.
- Be cool. - Be cool.
Be cool.
Honey, you should pay more attention to Tae Jin.
I felt bad for him that day.
You don't have to feel that way. He's arrogant.
He thinks he's so smart that he can take care of everything.
Don't be like that.
You can always talk with me,
but Tae Jin never talks about your mom.
That's because he's heartless.
You have no idea of how men are.
Men only cry on the inside.
We don't shed tears like women.
- Did Tae Jin say something to you? - It seems...
like he had his heart broken really badly.
Why...
Why would he hold back his emotions like that?
Are you crying?
What's the matter?
I feel so sorry for Tae Jin.
I'm such a bad sister.
Oh, no.
Listen. You're the best sister in the world.
You always try to look strong, but you're actually soft-hearted.
This is why I love you.
- Do you mean that? - Of course, I do.
Honey.
Yes, I'm right here.
Your...
small, sharp eyes are so charming.
Hee Jin, this isn't what I meant.
- You said you love me. - Of course, I love you.
I do love you, but I don't think we should do that.
- Come on. - Oh, my.
You're right.
In certain situations some may need to give up their babies.
However, you cannot say such a thing even if everyone else does.
Because you're a mom.
I'm sorry...
that I can't really be of any help.
Thank you.
You're the first person...
who scolded me.
No matter how badly I behaved,
no one told me that I shouldn't behave that way.
But...
I must have been waiting for it.
Seo Hyun.
When the umbilical cord was cut,
I decided to cut the baby out of my life too.
I thought giving him up for adoption would be better for his future.
I feel so bad for what I did to my baby.
It's okay. You came back for him.
To tell you the truth,
I feel...
so scared and helpless.
I don't really know what I should do.
My friends got into university. They're busy studying...
and dating.
Why does my life at the age of 20 have to be like this?
You wake up because your eyes open,
you eat because you have to,
and you sleep because you have to. Right?
I also felt that way when my daughter was born...
after I lost my husband in an accident.
"What should I do?"
"Will I be able to raise her well?"
I was scared.
Like you said, I felt helpless too.
One day,
after crying all night,
I held my daughter's tiny finger.
From that little, delicate finger,
I could feel her heartbeat.
It felt as if she was trying to talk to me using her entire body.
"Mom, it's going to be okay."
"You have me."
"Stay strong."
She talked to me like that.
It was such a marvelous moment.
You probably don't know this right now,
but your baby will help you overcome your fear...
and give you new hope. I'm sure of it.
So try to stay strong.
My gosh.
What should we do?
You keep crying like this.
Don't cry.
My gosh, you need a different blanket.
It's getting hot now. Shall I get you a rayon blanket?
You don't need to waste money on such a thing.
Everything will be burned anyway after I die.
Gosh, Grandma. Goodness.
Grandma, you're going to live long.
You have to see me and Hae Chan getting married.
Goodness, don't even.
I'll see you later, Grandma.
What kind of soup shall I make for you?
I guess she knows that she's at fault.
I should also be careful with what I say.
She obviously wouldn't want to hear me talking about her mom.
What happened with that girl?
I took her to the station earlier in the morning.
What about her baby? Is the baby with her now?
No, he'll be looked after at the facility until a decision...
is made on her case.
Child abandonment cases like that are usually sent to the prosecution.
Hey, Mr. Walking Law Book.
What do you think will happen?
It won't be easy for her to be ruled not guilty.
Will she be put behind bars, then?
It's her first offense, and she regrets it.
She's also struggling financially.
If there are people who can testify for her,
her sentence might get reduced.
If she's lucky, she might get her indictment suspended.
Who would do that for her?
What are you talking about? We should do it for her.
Goong Hwa and Mr. Cha have seen everything since the baby was born.
How about we submit an appeal?
- I'm in. - Me too.
Me too.
I didn't say anything.
Why are you guys so mean to me? I'm in too.
Okay!
Then let's write it together later in the day. That's all for now!
- Go, Chamsu-ri. Let's fly! - Go, Chamsu-ri. Let's fly!
Oh, boy.
- Let's go on patrol. - Yes, sir.
Go straight and turn left over there. You'll see it on your right.
No problem.
Gosh, what's taking him so long?
- Why are you standing here? - Pardon me?
What are you doing now?
Well... We have to ticket this car, right?
No car can be parked in this no parking zone. Right?
Gosh. No matter how pitiable the situation is,
violating the law shouldn't be tolerated.
The police must fairly...
My apologies. I'm so sorry.
Sir, this is a no parking zone.
You can't park here. Even if it's only temporary.
I see. I'll be careful from now on.
I apologize again. I'm sorry.
What?
You're not going to ticket him for the 40-dollar fine?
Wasn't your motto, "Follow the law strictly and always be fair?"
He was just trying to earn a living. Do you think being petty...
is a way of serving justice?
He's pretty good.
Was I too harsh?
I mean, she did save my life.
She shouldn't have looked at me like that though.
Gosh, what a hypocrite.
(Officer Moo)
This is Officer Moo Goong Hwa from Chamsu-ri Substation.
Can we meet up briefly? There's something I have to tell you.
Please call me back.
What's going on? Why does she want to meet up?
Ju Young. The design itself turned out well,
but what do you think about these two colors here?
- Where? - Here.
I think it's good.
The color fades gradually.
It'll create a dreamlike ambiance.
Like a panorama.
Okay. Then I'll leave the design in your hands.
Sure thing. Show it to Bo Ra if you can't trust me.
- It's not like she works here. - What do you mean?
You said you got her to sign a contract with us.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen her since that day.
Since when?
The day she ignored us and took off.
That was very unlike her.
Let's go in.
Oh, wait...
Stop talking about useless things and wrap it up.
Where are you going?
Next door.
What are you making?
Chocolate cream pie.
My gosh, they look amazing.
Now, I just need to top them up with whipped cream.
Is that woman from the other day your mom?
Well... Yes.
Gosh, she's very beautiful and stylish.
She likes to dress up.
Then you must take after your dad.
Hey, people tell me that I'm pretty.
You're gullible, aren't you?
You said the name of your agency means "trustworthy".
You need to trust others too.
- I'll let you get back to work. - All right.
- By the way, is everything okay? - What?
Your mouth is smiling, but your eyes aren't.
Everything is fine.
I'm glad to hear that.
- I'm going. - Okay, bye.
Bo Ra. Please be cool, will you?
Is this the best they can do?
Or else, they will suffer a loss.
Just make it clear to them...
that they won't get the rest money if there are any defects.
That's unexpected.
I thought I would have to negotiate more.
You must be in a good mood.
Hello, Mr. Jin. This is Officer Moo Goong Hwa.
I'm hoping to see you today.
Could you spare me some time?
Yes. Then, I'll see you later.
Officer Moo Goong Hwa... Is that the police officer?
Did you know that you can get a full point with a shoulder throw?
I am about to...
turn the tables.
Hello.
You know that I'm not doing so well because of you.
Why did a busy police officer like you want to see me?
I'm sorry...
for what I did to you.
What do you mean?
Oh, I see. That you looked down on me?
I'm really sorry about that.
How should I react to that?
That means you actually looked down on me.
I shouldn't have behaved like that.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
You were right.
I learned a lot from you.
You don't have to say that.
What you said to me yesterday...
gave me a wake up call.
I'm disappointed.
I thought you called me to have another match.
I want another chance to spar with you.
I'm sorry, but I'm on duty.
Anyway, I apologize again.
Thank you for coming to see me. Goodbye.
Wait a second.
Okay.
Let's have a drink together.
I have to repay you,
and I'll accept your apology.
Mr. Jin.
What? Do you think I'm hitting on you?
You're not, right?
Gosh. What should I say to a question like that?
I'm sure you're not,
but I'll tell you something just in case.
I'm a mother of a child.
What did you say?
I have a child.
May I leave now?
All right. I apologize again.
Goodbye.
I'm home.
Why are you doing household chores when you're ill?
I can move around a little. It doesn't hurt much.
I should contribute somehow.
Did you dye your hair?
Yes, I did.
Good for you.
It's doesn't feel good to see my son's grey hair.
I see.
By the way, why isn't she coming back?
What? Did Ms. Oh go somewhere?
I said that I was craving red bean porridge.
Then, she ran out and hasn't come back.
It's not like she's cooking it,
and the market isn't that far from here.
The phone is turned off. Please leave...
Where is he going?
Kang Hae Chan! How could you?
Mom, just a little longer.
- Turn it off now. - Give me just a few minutes more.
- I said, turn it off! - Just 10 more minutes.
Mom!
You're not allowed to use the computer. Do you hear me?
What are you doing?
You started first.
How dare you throw that in front of me?
You think you're all grown up?
Then don't bother going to school.
If you really hate to study,
just quit going to school and academy. Just quit everything!
You're not apologizing.
This is unbelievable.
I'm sorry. It took me so long.
You're back at least.
I thought you ran away again.
Don't be silly.
What took you so long?
The market is right across the street.
Don't get me started. So many people were waiting in line.
There were so many customers at the restaurant.
I'm sure you enjoyed looking around the market while you were out.
That restaurant must be very popular.
Where did all the customers come from?
Everyone complains about how their businesses aren't doing well.
What's the point of that?
They have three sons who take all the money they make.
Is that right?
No one in the world is living without worries, right?
- Where did Sang Chul go? - Pardon?
He came in to say hi before,
but he didn't respond when I called him.
I was worried that you went out and hadn't come back.
Did he go out to find you?
I've decided to try your way.
What do you mean?
Just as you did to Seo Hyun,
I'll try my best without becoming emotional,
and I'll be fair to everyone.
I'll be fair and kind to people as you were to the courier guy.
Not everyone can do that.
Especially a person like you...
I met Jin Do Hyun earlier today and apologized to him.
Why would you apologize to him?
I was biased against him.
I thought he was a womanizer and a punk.
Come to think of it, he wasn't the only one I was biased against.
I always say that I want to be a good police officer,
but I suspect people who have threatening looks.
When I see drunken people, I frown first.
I got so angry at some citizens who behaved badly,
and I punched them in my head so many times.
You're not the only one.
Actually, I lectured him not long ago.
I told him not to talk thoughtlessly without knowing others' situations.
However, I realized that I was doing the same thing.
I was so ashamed.
Anyway, I feel like Mr. Jin gave me an awakening.
After reflecting on myself,
I decided to start over again.
Good for you.
- What's wrong? - This is the first time.
What is?
It's the first time you praised me.
I thought you would never praise me.
You just got rid of my prejudice.
I guess you never did anything good.
- Did I do something good? - Just eat up.
Mr. Cha, can you praise me one more time?
No.
You know how they say that a compliment goes a long way.
"Good for you." Please say that again.
I think I can do better.
You're overreacting again.
Eat up before the noodles get soggy.
One more time! One more time!
You did a good job...
in finishing Eun Seo Hyun's case.
Do you mean that?
You were like a real police officer for the first time.
Now move.
