(Episode 35)
Jae Min...
Ma'am. Ma'am, wake up.
My car didn't even come into contact with her.
Darn it.
Hang on.
She's the woman from Han River.
You lost her?
Then go after her!
We're in trouble if Mr. Cha finds out.
(Incoming call)
I don't think she's coming. We should head out.
That's weird. She could at least pick up the phone.
She must have realized that she has nothing to say.
We should just go.
No.
You can go if you want. I'll wait a bit more.
Mo Ah,
what's gotten into you?
Don't come.
Young Hwa already left.
Why isn't Mo Ah answering her phone?
She probably doesn't want to hear from us.
That's why she sent Jae Min over alone.
Dad.
Hasn't Mo Ah called you either?
No, my calls keep going to voicemail.
Put me on when she calls.
Jae Min, let's go and play in my room.
I'll bring this.
Didn't she show up at Young Hwa's office?
No, I stayed to see if she would.
Really?
Where did she go off to then?
You shouldn't have brought Jae Min home.
You only provoked her.
She got on my nerves.
Right now, it's best to leave her be,
so I'll take Jae Min home.
All right, that sounds wise.
Why isn't Mo Ah home yet?
Does her mother-in-law have her by her hair?
Ms. Hong's is not someone who'd do such a thing.
Of course she is!
She's cruel enough to snatch a child.
Because of her, I searched the entire neighborhood.
This is on you for taking your eyes off Jae Min.
My gosh.
Great Auntie.
Jae Min, you're home.
I can't believe your mom.
How can she take him without telling us?
I'm sorry.
Is Mo Ah with you?
Isn't she home?
I thought she went to your house.
No, she didn't come by.
Then where did she go?
I came by because I knew she'd be...
worried about Jae Min.
Jae Min's home, so everything's good.
Mo Ah can take care of herself.
She's probably drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
I'll call when she comes home.
You can go now.
That's weird.
She was adamant about talking to Young Hwa.
So where did she go?
I'm sure she'll go home eventually.
Give her another call.
Why bother when she hasn't picked up all day?
We're in trouble.
If she talks to Young Hwa, this wedding is off.
I'll stay close to Young Hwa just in case then.
There's no need. She'll back off now that we gave Jae Min back.
We'll get him back some other time.
She's not anywhere nearby.
Is there anywhere she can be?
I've called whoever I can think of.
I left a text, but she hasn't replied to it.
She must be really upset not to even come home.
I shouldn't have yelled at her.
You saw the footage. My car didn't come into contact.
She collapsed right in front of my car.
I saw that.
Anyway, please give me a call when she wakes up.
Why should I when I'm not her guardian?
Darn.
- Aren't you her guardian? - I'm not.
I told you numerous times that we're strangers.
Then she's a Jane Doe.
I hate cases involving them.
Can I get going then?
Excuse me.
Why aren't you running any tests?
We can't until we have consent.
It's against the rules...
which is why we find these patients tricky.
There's no visible trauma, so we'll wait.
Still, she hasn't woken up in hours.
What happens if something is wrong?
It's better than being sued for battery.
That I don't want.
Why is everything so complicated with them?
Hold on.
I'm her guardian, so run the tests.
That's not what you said earlier.
Well, it's true,
so run whatever tests you need and treat her.
What's her name?
Kang Nam Hui. It's Kang Nam Hui.
(Kang Nam Hui)
Fill out this form at the desk.
Why did she have to pop up there,
and where are all her belongings?
Maybe she is a gold digger.
Thank you so much.
- Please come again. - Thank you.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
I was going to buy sweet potatoes,
but these just looked so delicious.
It's all right. At least you helped that vendor.
Hold on.
- I looked this over and... - That's all right.
I don't have the money, so I'll just keep riding mine.
Good for you.
Is it good?
It really is.
Can I have a bite?
Sorry?
I'd appreciate a bite.
A bite?
For people our age, that's like the magic word.
Do you know classics like "Bubble Bobble"?
It's like begging a friend to let you play a game on that.
Don't you agree?
Kids these days don't know the fun in that.
So are you offering or not?
All right.
I'll agree to letting you have one bite.
Here.
What do you think you're doing?
This was my dinner!
You said one bite.
This is how big one bite is for me.
Gosh.
I'm sorry, but I haven't eaten all day.
All day?
What's the point in earning money, if you don't eat?
All the money I earn is for our auto shop.
Still, how could you eat my dinner instead?
Take care then.
Gosh, I'm hungry.
Oh, boy.
Now I feel bad for her because she's hungry.
I care about people too much for my own good.
It's freezing.
Where's Nam Koo?
He's at the hospital.
Why? Is he ill?
No, but someone else is.
That's a lie he told you to get out of work.
I know. That's what I thought so.
Nam Koo, stop lying to us and get back to the shop.
I'd actually love to,
so can you tell me your registration number?
Why do you need mine?
I need it to save a person's life.
I'll text it right away then.
It seems too serious to be a lie.
Why? What did he say?
I don't know, but he said it's to save a life.
What?
What did he get himself into this time?
(Patient, Kang Nam Hui)
Tests showed that there isn't anything wrong with her.
We'll know more once she wakes up.
That's what you said earlier,
so what was the expensive MRI for?
You said you were her guardian.
I am.
Keep a good eye on her then...
and call a nurse once she wakes up.
Excuse me, Lady.
Hey.
I know you're pretending to be asleep.
When you wake up, I'm charging you...
for the hospital fees and some more for my troubles.
You should get some sleep.
No, I'd rather you get some sleep instead.
I'll wake you when she comes home.
Did you two stay up all night waiting for her?
I can't believe she stayed out all night with her phone turned off.
She knows we'd all worry.
Honey, you and Shin Ae should open the restaurant.
- What about you? - I'll wait for Mo Ah.
Mom, can't I wait for her instead?
I'd rather do that then work.
I should probably go and shower.
Me too.
I called it first.
What's up with Mo Ah? Has she quit or what?
Sir, what's going on with Mo Ah?
We put all her things back like you asked.
Just leave it as it is for now.
I think she's been given the boot.
Shut it.
That's not something to be happy about.
- Have some compassion. - I'm sorry.
You were mean to her the most.
Was I?
Well, that can happen sometimes.
Could you two be any more annoying?
Where is she if she's not at the office?
Is she still not picking up?
She turned off her phone.
It's barely been a day.
She must've finally realized her place.
Aren't you at all worried?
You shouldn't either for she's a fighter.
She'll shortly show up with a lawyer to negotiate her alimony.
Check where she used her phone last.
Sure thing.
Did something happen to her?
I don't know.
She wouldn't skip work like this...
which means something must've happened.
So where is she?
Excuse me?
Don't you have her stashed away somewhere?
Are you seriously accusing me of kidnapping her?
You are the number one suspect.
I could ask you the same thing.
I thought you had taken her somewhere.
Well, I'm glad you didn't.
Once I check her phone records, we'll know more.
If only she stayed hidden forever.
She's so annoying even when she's not around.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Is something wrong? You seem troubled.
Someone still hasn't showed up.
What brings you here?
I looked into your boyfriend,
and I'm sure that he's still married to his wife.
He's looking to get a divorce now.
In fact, he's about to dump a highly devoted wife.
I never asked you to do this.
You don't seem surprised.
Someone claiming to be his wife called me yesterday.
Ask her, and you'll know the truth.
She didn't show up.
If you're right about her being kicked out,
she should've shown up by now.
If it were me, I'd run over here in a heartbeat.
That's true, but...
You should call her and ask her over.
She isn't answering.
I bet she's guilty of something.
Anyway, Do Hoon is more of a reliable source...
than she is.
Here comes the cheater.
Head on up. Young Hwa's inside.
What did you just call me?
No matter how desperate, this still isn't the way.
You should've gotten a divorce before...
you kicked your wife out.
Watch what you're saying.
You know nothing about me.
Isn't it why your wife wanted to talk to Young Hwa?
It looks that way to me.
Are you sure...
you didn't stop her from coming?
There's only so much I can take,
so don't push your luck.
All right, all right.
Now let go.
You're suffocating me.
I'll get going then.
Good luck with your life.
You!
Park somewhere else.
Didn't I teach you not to park...
in spaces reserved for the disabled?
- I'd rather not move it. - What?
Do you know that you've changed?
Don't we all?
Still, this is too drastic.
Shouldn't you be at least worried if your wife didn't show up?
But instead you're here.
She devoted her life to you.
So are you here to ruin my chances with Young Hwa?
No, I came because I was worried.
The Park Do Hoon I knew was a decent guy.
Now park somewhere else,
before I smash it to bits.
I'm sure that he's still married to his wife.
He's looking to get a divorce now.
In fact, he's about to dump a highly devoted wife.
Nam Koo isn't one to joke about these things.
Did...
Did my ex-wife call by any chance?
She did.
She's on her way, so would you like to stay?
You seem alarmed. Are you worried?
Of course not. So let's hear what she has to say.
You seem nervous.
It's probably why you're thirsty.
It's very dry in here.
She's running late though.
We still have five more minutes.
If there's anything I should know, tell me now.
- About what? - About your wife.
She's not answering her phone.
Are you sure you agreed to meet?
It sounds like you don't want her to come.
A woman's intuition...
is different to that of men.
We don't make calls regarding our ex-husbands,
only our children.
She'll be here in five minutes.
Tell me the truth now, and I won't get too angry.
Well...
In fact...
Mr. Cha called a moment ago.
Young Hwa told him that Mo Ah called.
She hasn't called back, so Young Hwa asked him to look into her.
He helped her ease her mind for now,
so stay close to her.
- Who was that? - The office.
I should get going...
since my ex-wife isn't coming.
I see you're running away.
Then I have no choice but to rethink us seeing each other.
I like things clean-cut.
I didn't want to tell you this,
but my ex-wife...
once ran out on me and Jae Min because she was sick and tired...
of me being poor.
She left Jae Min behind?
She's not worthy to be his mom.
Then I found my parents,
and she begged me take her back.
I've been by your side just in case she tries to hurt you.
I'm sorry for doubting you.
I lied about how she was on her way over.
Why can't you trust me?
Truth be told,
a friend of mine warned me that you weren't a good man.
I see your friend...
likes to speak ill of strangers.
I know the truth now,
so I won't ask you about your ex-wife again.
How is she doing?
Hold it.
- What are you looking at? - This ring.
This isn't an ordinary ring.
- It's very expensive. - How much is it?
Expensive enough to be a one of a kind.
I'm guessing a few hundred grands.
What?
Where are her clothes and her belongings?
I'll know more once I see those.
Her clothes are in there.
Okay.
That's weird.
What's wrong?
A woman rich enough to wear that...
wouldn't wear a coat like this.
Of course.
I've met her a few times, and she didn't seem like the type.
I got excited for nothing.
So what took you so long? I told you I'm busy.
I went to see Young Hwa.
Why do you care for her...
when she's not even a mark?
Because we're friends.
Besides, I sort of owe her.
What a joke.
Fine.
Be the kindhearted young man from now on,
and take good care of her.
Think of it as punishment for all those women you've scammed.
Whatever. If she doesn't wake up soon,
I'll turn her over to the police.
Hey there.
You'll catch a cold sleeping in this weather.
I hope this keeps you warm.
Thank you.
I see you're only polite when offered food.
I added some dumplings, so it'll be enough.
It's delicious.
What does your husband do for you to be doing this?
I'm not married.
I see.
Wouldn't a job at a coffee shop be better...
than working out here?
I can't get a job there.
Why not? You seem perfectly qualified.
They turn me down after reading my resume.
You shouldn't just write anything on those,
and you have too much of a temper.
That's not it.
They're fond of me up until I hand in my resume.
Really?
Hang on a second.
Your auto shop's about to close,
and you're still not married.
I'm sure...
I'm sure you have a boyfriend though.
I don't.
Eat up then.
I'm sorry for being mean to you.
Why?
Do I seem pathetic to you?
Of course. Anyone would feel the same way.
Don't say more since I feel bad as it is.
Compassion is kind of in my job description.
So are you married?
No.
You must have enough money to buy a house though.
No, I don't.
Do you have a girlfriend?
You should have one being 40 and all.
I don't.
Where do you live now?
I live with my brother and his wife.
Here.
Have some more.
I'd rather you give me more noodles.
I'll pack you some sweet potatoes on your way,
so enjoy with your sister-in-law.
Go on. Eat up.
It's him who should receive charity.
Please don't cry.
Mr. Oh, show this peddler out.
Lady, what are you here to sell?
Why are you asking her that?
Are you looking to buy?
- Excuse me. - Lady.
You're trespassing, so please leave.
That's not it. I'm Mo Ah's aunt.
Are you Mo Ah's aunt?
I'm just here to see how she's doing.
She didn't show up for work today.
Really?
We can't get a hold of her.
Did she not come home last night?
No, I just can't seem to reach her.
Mo Ah's either at home or work.
Could you please tell her to come back to work?
We all miss her.
Thank you for letting me know. I'll see myself out.
- Good day, Ma'am. - Good day.
Doesn't Young Hwa seem suspicious?
On the contrary.
She now thinks that Mo Ah has something to hide.
For once in her life, she's been of help.
I see you're here too.
What brings you by?
How is Mo Ah doing?
She didn't come home and I'm worried sick.
If only your worries extended to my son as well.
What do you mean by that?
His calves.
They're still covered in bruises.
It's all right, Mom. That's enough.
I'm not making a fuss out of it because you did raise him.
Anyway, the moment Mo Ah shows up, we will go forward with the divorce.
What are you doing here?
Have you heard from Mo Ah?
- I haven't. - I see.
- Do your calves still hurt? - I'm all right.
You should get going. I need to get back to work.
Work?
How can you possibly work when Mo Ah's missing?
She probably went somewhere to clear her head.
Don't worry.
Fine. Whatever.
You sure have changed.
I honestly believed that you wouldn't though.
Maybe she took off to clear her head.
She wouldn't go anywhere without Jae Min.
Mo Hyuk's right about that.
She would've taken Jae Min with her.
Honey, you're back.
What did he say? Is Mo Ah at work?
No, she isn't.
We need to report her missing.
She's not a child, you know.
We can't report her missing when it's barely been a day.
I'll go. You get some rest.
I'll rest when I get back, so let's go.
Stop looking at me. You already know how handsome I am.
Mom, Nam Koo doesn't seem to be lying.
Are you sure you didn't cause the accident?
I told you numerous times that I saved a woman.
I even paid for her bills.
Why would you do that?
Shouldn't she pay you for saving her life?
Now you know why I'm annoyed.
Who is it?
I wouldn't have paid if I had known.
I ended up being her guardian.
What will happen to her now?
She'll be all alone.
That's not our problem.
I already did more than enough.
I only need to get paid once she wakes up.
Nam Hui, you should go and look after her.
I can't. I'm busy.
Hello?
Yes, Nam Hui's my sister.
The hospital?
Yes, I'm her legal guardian.
I'll be right there.
Why does she have to be so much trouble?
It serves you right for taking out a customer's car.
I'm off to the hospital.
Why are you so busy these days?
It's nothing you need to know about.
You better...
not be putting her to sleep to milk me for money.
She seems fine if you ask me.
She'll be awake soon.
I need to run a few more tests,
so please sign the form.
I bet it'll turn out to be nothing.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't leave her side.
I've had it with you.
I'd rather you just take off.
Hang on. I need to be reimbursed.
Don't you dare just take off.
The last call was made outside our house,
and it was to Young Hwa.
Our house?
I told you...
that she went to Young Hwa...
to finally end things.
Her phone lost signal in...
Incheon.
She must've went there to get some fresh air.
Search every inch of Incheon until you find her.
I've been looking into CCTV footage and hotels around the area.
Have you thought about why she went to Incheon?
I don't know.
Our orphanage used to be there,
but it's long gone.
Can your mom be right...
about Mo Ah taking her own life?
How dare you say that.
(My Mo Ah)
Mo Ah?
I found this phone in my taxi.
I called the first number on her contact list.
A taxi?
Yes, this is Shin Do Hoon.
Thank you.
No, I'll come to you.
(Delete Phone Log)
Choi,
go to the taxi company and bring me Mo Ah's phone.
Just say that you're her husband.
The taxi Ms. Jung took...
just happened to be from Incheon.
(Call logs)
Did the taxi driver call anyone else?
No, I checked the call log myself.
Does he remember Mo Ah?
No, he doesn't at all.
Of course.
Stay in Incheon for a while.
Don't turn on the phone since it can be traced.
Yes, Sir.
She's missing?
I'm afraid so.
Her family has already filed a missing persons report.
Does this mean...
that she was in an accident?
If that weren't the case, she would have shown up.
Mo Ah wouldn't leave Jae Min behind.
You seem pretty sure.
Do you know something that I don't?
Of course not. You know what I know.
An accident?
If I had known, I would've had her sign the papers.
Now's our chance...
to finalize this divorce.
How can we...
when Mo Ah's not around to agree to it?
There's always a way.
All we need is a divorce, right?
How?
Unbelievable.
I can't go anywhere in case she wakes up.
It's like she's Snow White.
Fine, I'll stay the night.
(Seoul Family Court)
Why are we here?
To finalize your divorce.
How can we without Mo Ah?
There she is.
Mo Ah, over here.
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
Two men tried to take her.
So she was kidnapped?
Tell me who gave you the orders!
Was it you who sent those goons after Mo Ah?
Father, it's me.
I want to forget everything and start over.
Mo Ah, where are you?
Let's talk in person.
Did Mo Ah call?
Young Hwa, what's wrong?
Young Hwa.
Young Hwa? Young Hwa!
Someone I know is ill.
Whatever. Just stay away from my girl.
