(Episode 86)
Welcome.
Mother.
You... You're...
Then... Are you...
Mother, did you get in touch with Mr. Jang?
Is that why you're here?
Mr. Jang? What do you mean?
I met him by chance a while ago.
I thought that's why you're here.
What about Il Joo? And my son?
Are they both alive?
No.
Then...
Are they dead?
Yes.
Even if he were alive,
you shouldn't dare speak my son's name.
What?
Have you forgotten what you did?
You deserted your husband and son in that madness...
and took all our family's money to elope with another man!
What are you talking about?
I didn't steal your money. I didn't elope with someone else.
I did not, Mother. I swear I did not.
You didn't?
Then why didn't you try to track us down?
I was told you had all died.
I had no idea you would still be alive.
Do not lie! You're the worst person I ever met.
I hope to never see you again while I live.
Never.
Never again.
What's the matter?
Mother. Mother!
What?
Mother.
Mother. Mother!
Are you all right, ma'am?
I'm fine. Let's get going.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry, Ms. Oh.
You look terribly pale right now.
I heard you say "mother". Who was that woman?
Come in.
Did you ask for me?
Sit down.
Sure.
Is something wrong, ma'am?
You knew about it, didn't you?
Pardon? Know about what?
That she was Soo In's mother.
How did you find out?
Seon Woo asked me to meet with Soo In's mother,
so I met her at the soup restaurant.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I wanted to break the two up before you found out.
It didn't work out that way. I apologize, ma'am.
I shouldn't have to tell you that...
you cannot tell her about Seon Woo.
You have nothing to do with us or Chungil Flour, do you understand?
The thing is,
Madam Lee already knows that I work for Mr. Kim.
But she doesn't know about him,
that he's her son, does she?
Ma'am, why don't we just tell Mr. Kim everything?
What do you mean we should tell him everything?
Tell him that Madam Lee, his mother is alive,
and that she is Soo In's mother.
Have you lost your mind?
- Ma'am. - No!
I can't do that.
Not after what she did to us.
She was blinded by money and lust.
She left my son and grandson.
No. I can't do that.
No. It can't be done. I can't tell Seon woo.
I can't.
This came for you, Mr. Choi.
Thank you.
Hello?
Did you get the photos?
Who are you?
Let's discuss in person.
Do you think you can threaten me with these?
I am a reporter. You should take me more seriously.
I've been investigating corrupt orphanages.
I found something interesting while...
investigating Haneul Orphanage.
You're embezzling the foundation's money.
For no other than the respected Mr. Jung Jae Man.
He's currently head of his district chapter...
and will enter the general election. Won't this hurt him?
What do you want?
What? 10,000 dollars? I told you to be careful!
I told you and you messed up again!
I'm sorry.
Not only might I be dropped from the election,
but I could be locked up for embezzlement.
What should we do?
What do you think? Give him the money.
Pay him off.
Yes, sir.
Wasn't that a fun movie?
It was.
I should marry you before we watch 100 movies.
Not that again.
We agreed to not talk about marriage.
You can say what you want, but you'll end up marrying me.
We're sticking to dating.
That's my uncle.
You need to stop.
Is she the woman he's dating?
All right.
(Cafe Tiffany)
Mom, I'm back.
Welcome home.
Do you feel better now?
Yes, I do. I guess I was just upset about Soo In.
What happened is all in the past. Don't let it bother you.
I won't anymore.
I saw Uncle on the way home.
- Did you? - I think he was on a date.
He was with a woman.
A date?
Did you see the woman? What is she like?
She was pretty.
Her looks aren't what I'm worried about.
The woman he's seeing owns a cafe.
Are you sure? That's preposterous.
He's insisting on marrying her.
I need to stop him.
Then that must be her cafe.
What do you mean? Do you know which cafe she owns?
I'm not sure but they went into a cafe called "Tiffany".
"Tiffany"?
They went to the temple hours ago. Why aren't they back yet?
Why are you out here? Hurry up, will you?
Mom, is something wrong?
Why is she limping?
Nothing's wrong. We just prayed for some good fortune.
How long did you pray for that she can barely walk?
You must bow at least 3,000 times for the prayer to have any effect.
What? You bowed 3,000 times?
Are you limping because we prayed and bowed for a few hours?
Are you exaggerating to make me look bad?
No, Mother.
Be quiet.
Go and cook us dinner. I'm hungry.
You can't make her cook when she's half dead.
Let's eat out.
Why should we eat out when we have food at home?
Do you not want to cook for me?
No, Mother. Come inside. I'll cook something up.
I can't stand this.
Are you okay, Dal Ja?
- You're home. - Yes.
Where did you go today? I heard you went out.
I went out to take care of some business.
I see.
Grandma, when will you meet Soo In's mother?
I won't.
Can't you please just meet her?
And do what?
What will change if I meet her?
I told you that Soo In's father was framed.
Fine, let's say he was.
Does that mean he didn't do 10 years for murder?
He did.
Grandma, can't you trust me on this one?
Please change your mind.
I would love to if only I could.
But I can't this time. You need to change your mind.
Please, do it for me.
Even if he were alive,
you shouldn't dare speak my son's name.
What?
You deserted your husband and son in that madness...
and took all our family's money to elope with another man!
Could she be lying about Il Joo and my son...
because of what she thinks I did during the war?
Young Sun, the old lady from yesterday.
Is she your previous mother-in-law?
What?
Dal Ja actually told me a little about your past.
I thought everyone had died in the war. Did they not?
Sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
Where's Dal Ja?
Did her mother-in-law take her to the temple again?
Yes. They have to go every day to show Buddha how serious they are.
The went again after bowing 3,000 times yesterday?
Her legs must still be aching.
Come on, let's go.
I'm really sorry, but I'm too tired to go.
This is why you aren't pregnant. If you want an heir,
you need to suffer a little and pray with all your might.
This won't do.
Today, we shall pray twice as much.
Get up.
Twice as more as yesterday means I have to bow 6,000 times today.
That's the least you can do to show Buddha you're desperate.
Come on. We're leaving.
Mom.
Are you taking her to the temple again?
Yes. What are you doing at home?
Shouldn't you be at work?
I couldn't concentrate because I thought you'd be doing this.
You can't go to the temple today.
Dal Ja was in so much pain she barely slept last night.
Do you care more about a non-existent kid than her?
We're talking about a son to continue the family name.
What could be more important than that?
Let's go.
It's not her fault.
I'm the reason we can't have kids.
What do you mean?
I saw a doctor and did some tests.
He said I have issues and I'm sterile.
So stop giving Dal Ja a hard time.
That can't be true.
Oh no...
Didn't you say you'd be going to the temple?
We didn't go.
Dae Bong's mother wanted to go home, so I took her to the terminus.
Is something wrong?
Why did she suddenly go home?
Dae Bong told her that we can't have kids...
because he has medical issues.
That's why we didn't go to pray.
Dae Bong lied?
Yes. His mother left with a heavy heart.
I don't know what to do.
Dal Ja.
Ms. Oh told me your mother-in-law was here.
You thought she was dead. Are you still in shock?
Dal Ja, I need to go to Seoul.
Why? Is something wrong?
I'm really sorry. I have to go.
What is it?
Why are you here?
Because you ignored my calls.
Will you not talk to me?
Leave Ji Hoon next door and come with me somewhere.
No.
Stop doing this and go.
Don't come here from now on.
Soo In.
You're making things too hard for me.
Please just go.
There's a place. I really want to take you.
Will you please come with me?
This is my father's grave.
I wanted to introduce you to him.
Mr. Kim.
He died when I was young, but I have good memories of him.
He loved me a lot...
and loved my mother all his life.
Soo In. I want to be like him. I want to be...
a good husband to you and father to Ji Hoon.
Mr. Kim.
I don't want to be a burden to you.
Don't say that.
My grandmother disapproved of my father marrying my mother.
He withstood that and married her.
That's how I came into this world and got to meet you.
I want to live happily with the woman I love like my dad did.
Soo In.
Don't waver.
Mr. Kim.
Dad. I need your help.
Help Soo In be strong.
Help us stay true to our love.
I'd like you to help us, Dad.
I'm not sure but they went into a cafe called "Tiffany".
This won't do.
Who's the owner? Is it you?
It's me. Who...
You?
Do you know my brother Man Pyo?
How dare you date him.
I didn't know you were his sister. Sorry.
Forget it. Break up with him this instant.
I didn't say I'd marry him or live with him.
A grown up man and woman can date if they want to.
You should know your place.
If you're thinking of seducing my naive brother...
to turn your life around, you'd better wake up.
What are you saying?
You can't say that to someone's face.
I'm done talking to you. Break up with my brother.
If you don't, I will see that you close down.
Hello, Yoon's Soup.
Could I speak to the owner?
She went to Seoul.
Oh, did she?
Who is this?
Are you Mr. Jang?
Yes. Do you know why she went to Seoul?
No, I don't.
Okay, thank you.
That's it?
What's going on?
What is it? Who was that?
Mr. Jang was asking for Young Sun.
Wait, Mr. Jang?
Where's Young Sun?
She went to Seoul. Did she not tell you?
She went to Seoul again?
To see Jung In?
It seemed urgent. I just assumed something was up.
What's got into her? She's been acting strange.
I'm not sure if I should say this,
but her previous mother-in-law came here yesterday.
What? Her previous mother-in-law?
Do you mean her previous family is all still alive?
Yes.
Oh dear.
What's wrong?
Did something happen at the restaurant?
Dal Ja said my wife met her previous mother-in-law.
What do you mean? You said they had all died in the war.
I guess not.
What? Do you mean...
she thought they were dead when they were alive?
Yes.
Wait. Do you think her husband could still be alive too?
Do you think they met?
Why don't you just ask her?
I'm too afraid to ask.
I don't know what to do if he does turn out to be alive.
Come in.
Madam Lee, why are you here?
I came to tell you something.
Are you free?
Mr. Jang.
Yes. I'm listening.
I met my mother-in-law yesterday.
What? What do you mean by that?
You met her?
She wasn't dead. She's alive.
She came to my restaurant yesterday.
Did she?
How did that happen?
I have a feeling that Il Joo and my son...
might be alive.
What are you talking about?
Did Ms. Cho say so?
No, she said they were all dead.
As you know,
Ms. Cho didn't approve of me...
even before I married Il Joo.
And she got something so terribly wrong about me.
What do you mean?
- It's an air raid! - Oh no.
Hide!
Mom, hurry!
We must hide!
Come this way.
Honey. Honey.
Wait here.
Hurry up!
Honey.
Mother.
Son. Son.
Honey.
Honey. Mother.
Honey.
Mother. Honey.
Son.
Aren't you Master Kim's daughter-in-law?
I am.
Did you see my mother-in-law or my family?
Yes, I did.
Did you?
Yes. I know which way they're headed.
Come with me.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Oh dear.
Watch your step.
I will, thank you.
Thank you.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
We walked for quite a while.
Where's my family?
They're right up ahead. Don't worry and come with me.
If you're tired, we can stop for a nap.
No, I have to hurry. They'll be worried.
Sorry, but I'm really sleepy.
Let's take a short nap.
Oh dear.
I know where your family is.
My bag. Where's my bag?
Oh no.
That's what happened.
So did Ma Sang Kook take the suitcase full of money?
Yes.
By the time I woke up, he'd already disappeared.
Ms. Cho doesn't know that.
She has the wrong idea about me.
Now I'm wondering if that's why she's hiding the fact that...
Il Joo and my son are alive and well.
Even if they were alive, would she do something like that?
Mr. Jang, I'd like to see her again.
She left in a hurry yesterday and I don't know how to reach her.
I'd like you to...
track her down for me.
Me?
Please, Mr. Jang.
(Chairperson Cho Geum Rye)
Come in.
Ma'am.
Is something wrong?
Madam Lee just came by to see me.
Why? What for?
She wants to see you again.
What makes her think she has the right to?
I think there was a misunderstanding.
She didn't run off with the bag of money during the war.
Someone stole it from her.
What are you talking about?
Do you remember Ma Sang Kook who lived in our neighborhood?
Ma Sang Kook?
I don't think so. What about him?
He lured Madam Lee off by saying he'd...
reunite her with us, then disappeared with the money.
Is that what she said?
Yes.
How can we believe her?
Did he really take the money or is she lying?
Who can vouch that she's telling the truth?
Ma'am, I don't think that Madam Lee would lie about that.
I can't believe anything she said.
I'm done listening to this nonsense. Get out.
I said get out.
Mr. Kim.
What were you and my grandmother talking about?
You said "Madam Lee".
Were you talking about my dead mom?
No, we weren't.
No, I heard it clearly.
Why were you talking about my dead mom?
We were talking about someone from Haeju.
What would make my grandmother so angry?
I know she never liked my mom.
Other than her not approving,
is there something else I don't know about?
No, there isn't.
Mr. Jang, I need you to tell me.
Why does Grandmother still hate my mom so much?
I forgot about her.
You have no idea how much it hurt to tell you...
your whole family had died.
What if you'd really taken your life?
I know it hurt, but the living must go on living.
Yes. She saw I didn't have the bag of money.
She can help me explain things to Mr. Jang.
Then Ms. Cho might tell me the truth about Il Joo and my son.
(Chungil Flour)
Grandma.
Do you have something to say?
Yes. I have something to ask you.
"Grandma"?
I hope we never meet again.
I wouldn't know.
Remember that I only play nice once.
Is Mr. Kim my son?
How could this be?
If you really care for him, do not let him see you again.
Tell me the truth. You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
- Mr. Kim. - Soo In.
I'm sorry for causing you pain,
suffering, and for loving you.
