(Episode 48)
The judges are here.
- You should go say hello. - Okay.
Take this.
It's herb tea.
You must be nervous.
This will help you loosen up.
Why? Do you think I could've put something inside?
- Give it back then. - No.
Thank you for the drink.
Wait.
What's with you all of a sudden?
Give it to me.
Are you happy now?
I'll be outside.
You must've been suspicious of me.
It's best for you not to do anything suspicious.
No harm will come from being careful.
Something bad once happened before,
so I just didn't want you to get involved in anything suspicious.
I guess you were just being considerate of me.
I completely understand where you're coming from,
but I can't say that I'm not upset.
Why can't you trust me?
I'm sorry if I upset you.
It's hard for me to get mad at you since you've apologized now.
The evaluation will start soon. We should go now.
Dal Nim, can you taste this for me?
How does it taste?
I think it's a bit bland.
Okay.
Dal Nim, the evaluation is going to begin.
You're confident, right? Don't be too nervous.
Thank you.
We will now start the evaluation.
Ms. Oh, please open the black lid.
It's chilled chicken soup,
the most representative dish of the summer season.
First, taste the chilled chicken soup.
Then, try to make one that tastes exactly the same.
That's your mission for today.
Okay, I understand.
If I boil it for too long, the chicken meat will swell,
which will get rid of the chewy texture.
By sieving the broth one more time,
I'll be able to get rid of the oiliness.
That'll help the soup become very clear.
Am I too nervous?
Why can't I taste anything...
even after adding salt, sugar, and vinegar?
It has a nice texture.
Your chilled chicken soup...
looked exactly the same as the one we gave you,
but it tasted completely different.
The chilled chicken soup we gave you...
was sweet, sour, and a little spicy.
But your version of the chilled chicken soup...
was both sweet and sour,
but there was no spiciness to it at all.
Us judges have come to...
an unanimous decision.
Ms. Oh Dal Nim,
you've failed the evaluation.
What should we do about Ms. Oh?
Call the HR, and tell them to fire her.
You seem very disappointed that...
Ms. Oh failed the evaluation.
You didn't say a word to me on our way back.
Let's not talk about someone who's going to leave now.
Okay.
I don't want to fight over something that's already in the past.
Let's not talk about Ms. Oh from this day forward.
I want to take some rest.
Okay, rest up.
She said she was confident that she'd pass.
How could she be so foolish and fail?
It wasn't my first time making chilled chicken soup,
so I was confident that I'd do well.
But I guess I was too nervous.
I'm sorry for disappointing you.
Don't be sorry.
You did the best you could. That's all that matters.
I just got a call from the HR.
They've completed your resignation procedures.
Dal Nim, are you seriously leaving?
Thank you for everything you've done for me, Dong Jae.
Hye Ri, I wish you all the best too.
Bye.
Don't think about anything, and just take some good rest.
Bye, chef.
(Matna Short Rib Soup)
You're leaving already?
I failed the evaluation, so I should go now.
You did so much to get me that second chance. I'm sorry.
You told once that I should...
jump back up when I've hit the very bottom.
I hope you do that too.
Okay. This won't be the end of everything.
I'm not going to give up like this.
Just because I quit work,
it doesn't mean I'm going to quit trying to reveal the truth.
I'm going to do my best until the end.
Welcome. Why are you doing here all of a sudden?
Something good happened today,
so I decided to drop by on my way home.
"Something good"? What's that?
I got rid of what's been bothering me.
Where's Mother?
Eun Jung, are you deaf or something?
Why can't you understand what I tell you?
The fruit and vegetables are all rotten.
And this meat has been in the fridge for ages now. How can we eat this?
What are you going to do about all these ingredients?
You're going to have to throw everything away now.
Mother, it hasn't even been a month yet.
Why are you checking the refrigerator all of a sudden?
That's because I knew something like this would happen.
Do you think I don't know that...
you only clean the refrigerator once a month right before I check?
- My goodness. - Mom, stop it. Se Na's here.
Hello.
Mother, I won't throw away anything. I'll use every ingredient here.
So please don't get angry and go inside.
Mother, I'll clean the refrigerator.
No, it's okay.
You should wait in Ruby's room. You should take her.
She's right. Let's just leave this to her and go upstairs.
Mother could've toned it down a bit.
I can't believe I got humiliated...
in front of my future daughter-in-law.
Ruby.
Why is Mother...
always so tensed up in front of the chairwoman?
Well, the thing is,
she used to work as my mom's secretary in the past.
That's when she and my brother fell in love.
So?
Back then,
Ko Bong was planned to become a son-in-law of another family.
The heir of that family was a daughter.
But Eun Jung's family wasn't that well off.
Her parents had passed away when she was young,
so she was living with her aunt...
who owned a small laundry shop.
Then I guess the chairwoman was strongly against their marriage.
She was so against it,
so they just suddenly decided to have a baby.
So my mom had no other choice...
than to let them get married even though she wasn't happy about it.
My mom thinks Eun Jung purposely...
seduced Ko Bong in order to get pregnant.
That's why my mom isn't really fond of her.
I now understand...
why Mother is always so tense around the chairwoman.
But you should know that things got a lot better after Sun Ho was born.
She couldn't even look at my mom straight in the eyes at first.
You could say that Sun Ho saved his mother.
I should be more considerate of Mother from now on.
(Energize Your Blood Vessels and Skin)
I'm home.
Grandma, I brought you some water.
Okay. Thank you.
You came to see the evaluation today, didn't you?
Are you upset that Ms. Oh failed to pass the evaluation?
What can I do? She failed because she lacked competence.
I'm upset, but there's nothing I can do about that.
You must be tired. You should go and rest.
Okay.
It would've been nice if the peanut lady had passed.
Sun Ho, you're home.
Get changed and come downstairs. It's time to eat dinner.
It feels as if we're a married couple.
I need to get changed.
I'll see you downstairs then.
This is Nurse Kim from Mirae Dermatology.
Don't forget about the remaining balance that's due tomorrow.
Sorry. I left my cell phone here.
Were you waiting here for me?
I heard Oh Dal Nim got fired from the restaurant.
I knew this would happen.
Mother.
You asked me to make a decision, right?
I don't need your land in Gyeonggi Province.
I decided to get the money I need...
by selling a few of my stocks.
You got that land from your mother before she died.
You can keep it with you forever.
And I decided to ask someone else...
to be in charge of the company I'm planning to take over.
- Mother. - There's something I've learned...
from what happened this time.
You and I will forever be like oil and water...
as long as Oh Dal Nim is around us.
I'm not going to ask you for any kind of favors from now on.
You can keep living your life as a chef.
I'll also live my life as I wish.
Did something good happen today?
Everything that's been bothering me has all disappeared now.
A lot of people seem to be feeling good today.
Se Na also told me earlier that she's happy.
Really?
It's always good to have happy events.
I'll go wash up.
By the way, honey.
Be prepared to spend a passionate night with this powerful engine.
What was this?
Then shall I get ready to welcome a hot and steamy night?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
My gosh, I'll be able to sleep comfortably from now on.
We shouldn't just be happy with kicking her out of the restaurant.
Sending her back to prison will be the most perfect scenario.
I'd ask for nothing more than that.
Sun Ho will no longer be able to help Dal Nim,
since she doesn't work for the company anymore.
If Ms. Yoon exerts her influence over the police,
we'll be able to send her back to prison...
for being an accomplice.
Let's send Dal Nim...
- back to prison. - Back to prison.
Ms. Oh Dal Nim, you've failed the evaluation.
Let's stop caring about her.
Mom.
It'd be nice to...
have you by my side on a day like this.
Mom.
The soup is absolutely delicious.
You seem very happy. Did something good happen?
Ko Bong, they say laughter brings you luck.
Do you feel sick?
You don't seem so well.
I couldn't sleep that well last night. Don't worry too much.
I heard Ms. Oh failed the evaluation yesterday.
What a pity. She used to be my fan.
She pretty much asked for it.
She shouldn't have started working there in the first place.
You're right. Plus, she even caused so much trouble.
I guess things will become more peaceful now.
Se Kang, you seem extremely happy at the fact that...
Ms. Oh failed to pass the evaluation.
Who? Me?
My gosh, you're mistaken.
I'm busy, so I'm going to go first.
What's wrong with him?
Did we make a mistake?
Stop talking about useless things from so early in the morning,
and just eat your breakfast.
Okay.
Eun Jung, did you return the cleaner?
What? Yes, of course.
Mom, the soup will get cold. You should hurry up and eat.
I can't believe a man like me has housewife's eczema.
This occupational disease is killing me.
My gosh.
She keeps all the good things to herself.
Hye Ri is so mean.
Why aren't you taking a break?
All the others are eating snacks right now.
I'm going to take a break right after I move this.
What's wrong?
My hand feels weird. I can't feel anything.
What's going on?
- Why can't you feel anything? - I don't know.
Does it feel numb?
But I don't see any scars or injuries.
Did you touch something?
No, I was fine when I was washing the dishes.
All I did was apply this hand cream.
My hands.
This can't be rare disease or something, right?
I can't cook without my hands.
I'm supposed to become Korea's number one chef in the future.
Why did you use my stuff without permission?
Min Jung, have you seen Hye Ri by any chance?
No, I haven't.
Chef, why were you looking for me?
Where were you?
Do I even need to report to you about going to the bathroom?
Well, no.
But can I take a look at the hand cream that Dong Jae applied earlier?
You must also have housewife's eczema.
You can use it if you want.
You're just going to give it to me?
It doesn't even cost that much.
I think something happened to Dong Jae's hand...
after he applied this.
It must be because it's cheap.
I even got rashes after I applied it.
My hands.
What am I going to do about my hands?
You should hurry up and go to the hospital.
What if I have a serious disease?
Can you go to the hospital with me?
We have to work.
Do you want me to call 911 for you?
- My gosh. - Ouch.
You're not going anywhere.
Stop goofing around, and get back to work.
It's way past break hours.
They're back.
I can feel my hands now!
Was that a joke?
- My gosh. - Unbelievable.
I really couldn't feel them earlier.
You've lost so much weight in just one day.
You didn't even eat, did you?
I have no appetite. You can eat.
Just try having a bite.
Here.
My gosh, it's spicy.
My tongue's on fire.
It wakes you up, doesn't it?
Dal Nim, nothing's going to get solved...
by being absent-minded.
But I really can't understand what happened on your evaluation day.
What do you mean? What can't you understand?
You're able to tell the ingredients just by smelling them.
There's no reason for you to have made such a ridiculous mistake.
The original chilled chicken soup was definitely spicy.
When I tasted it,
I couldn't taste any spiciness.
Even when I was making my own chilled chicken soup,
I couldn't taste the salt and vinegar.
So I had no choice but to make it...
with my usual recipe.
I was surprised at how easy the mission was.
So I thought they were trying to see if I could stick to the basics.
But I had no idea that the clear soup would taste spicy.
Did you notice anything strange that day?
No. I was too nervous,
so I guess it was possible for my tongue to have become numb.
No, we can't just let this slide.
Think about it carefully.
Try to see...
if anything went wrong before the evaluation.
Like always,
I finished cleaning up the kitchen in the morning.
Then Hye Ri asked me to taste something for her,
so I did. That's all.
Hye Ri?
Why? Did something happen?
What's this?
Sun Ho.
What brings you here?
Aren't you short of manpower...
now that Ms. Oh isn't here anymore?
I'll send you an employee...
from the development team before you hire someone new.
You don't need to do that.
I'm going to make Dal Nim come back.
You're going to make her come back? What do you mean?
I'm suspicious of Hye Ri.
She even helped Se Na hide the ring by lying to us.
We can't just just doubt her without having any evidence.
Dong Jae's hand became numb after he applied some of...
Hye Ri's hand cream.
Dal Nim's tongue also became numb after she tasted...
the sauce that Hye Ri gave to her.
Do you really think this is all a coincidence?
Are you saying that someone could've put hand cream in that sauce?
Well, it might not be the hand cream itself,
but she could've added something else.
(This is Nurse Kim from Mirae Dermatology.)
Sorry. I left my cell phone here.
- Aunt Ruby, may I go in? - Sure, come in.
Are you taking care of your skin?
Natural beauties like me...
also age with time.
But you already look so young for your age.
I wish everyone in this world would think like you.
But everyone has UHD TVs these days.
One single pore is enough to get mean comments from the viewers.
They'd comment that female actresses should take care of their skin.
I already get so many botox and filler injections.
By the way, you go to Mirae Dermatology...
with Se Na, right?
Yes. The dermatologist told me that I should keep my skin moist.
Do you know someone called Nurse Kim?
Yes, she's in charge of taking care of me and Se Na.
But how do you know about her?
Se Na told me that she's good.
So I was thinking about giving it a try.
Are you serious?
But do they have a kind of medicine...
that makes your skin feel numb after you apply it?
Of course.
They use anesthetic cream before people undergo a laser treatment.
"Anesthetic cream"?
But why are you asking me that all of a sudden?
No, it's nothing. You can continue with what you were doing.
Mr. Kim is getting investigated by the police right now.
But they granted indulgence to Oh Dal Nim...
because she got fired.
Sun Ho keeps saying that circumstantial evidence...
isn't enough to press charges.
But I think it's only right for her to get punished...
for what she did as an accomplice.
So what's your point?
I don't think it'll be hard to punish her...
if you step up and help me.
I get what you mean.
If she did something wrong, she should get punished for it.
She doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
I'll make a call to the commissioner general.
I'll go now then.
Are you planning to make her get investigated by the police?
She's going to have to get investigated as a testifier anyway.
But I know you're not going to just let her go like that.
You're going to make her guilty and send her back to prison.
What are you so afraid of?
She'll get punished if she's guilty.
And she'll get released if she's not.
Choigo Foods only recruit people annually.
I'm sure I won't be able to get a job at the head office.
What should I do?
Hello?
Yes, I'm Oh Dal Nim.
As a testifier?
Oh, okay.
A testifier?
Dal Nim, it's me!
What are you doing here so early in the morning?
Did you get a call from the police?
How did you know?
I just got a call from them...
saying that they want me to come to get investigated as a testifier.
(Mirae Dermatology: Ms. Hong, August 19)
"Mirae Dermatology"?
(Please enter passcode)
Could it be her date of birth?
No way. It can't be mine, right?
She set my date of birth as her passcode?
(Nurse Kim)
(Thank you for...)
(Thank you for the anesthetic cream.)
You know it should be our own little secret, right?
Thank you for the money.
(Jung Jae Wook)
Hey, it's me.
What? She's getting investigated as a testifier?
I heard Hyunsung is in the process of taking over a food company.
Yes, you're right. It's a very small company compared to yours,
but it's a profitable company.
It'd be great if they could work with Choigo Foods if they can.
Of course. That'd be great.
Ms. Hong, please check if there's a way for us to collaborate.
Okay, ma'am.
What's going on?
I'm sorry to interrupt you,
but Director Choi is urgently looking for Ms. Hong.
Really?
I guess it's something urgent.
You should go, Ms. Hong.
Then I'll leave you guys to talk.
Why did you want to see me?
Do you have nothing to say to me...
regarding Ms. Oh's evaluation result?
What do you mean?
You're the one who made her fail the evaluation test.
I can't understand a single thing you're saying right now.
Please help me understand.
I already know that you numbed her sense of taste,
and made her fail the evaluation test.
What did I even do to hear this from you?
Stop being so unreasonable.
Starting from Jae Wook's mother's allergy incident...
to the stolen ring, and the petition written by the employees...
You're the one who planned everything, weren't you?
You did that to kick Ms. Oh out.
Why are you so obsessed about Ms. Oh?
I said, you're wrong.
Why won't you believe me?
Are you taking the side of a woman who murdered Jae Hee?
How could you do this of all people?
You shouldn't be doing this...
for Jae Hee's sake.
Don't involve my personal feelings.
I'm talking about work right now.
Stop trying to change the point.
I'm asking you because I want to trust you.
Be honest with me.
- Did you... - I didn't...
do anything.
I sent a message with your cell phone,
and this is what I got as a reply.
(You know it should be our own little secret, right?)
(Thank you for the money.)
Are you still going to deny it?
(Sweet Enemy)
Dal Nim's not the one who killed Jae Hee.
What?
What are you doing here?
There's something we need to solve together.
What did you mean when you said you got used in court?
I'll just tell you since you're asking.
I've been itching to tell someone anyway.
I need some time to think.
Are you still thinking about firing me?
Why are you so surprised?
If you can't remember,
I'll help you remember.
Four years ago, on the day of the incident,
you were definitely at the summer house.
(Sweet Enemy)
