(Episode 71)
I got you.
Mom, you're driving me crazy.
Grandma, I thought you were coming back in the morning.
There's no one who can manage to persuade this stubborn old woman.
You're only making my life hard.
Did you talk to Dr. Kim about this?
It's the same to get discharged today or tomorrow.
You don't have to mind me. You can go.
Chairwoman Ma.
I thought you went home with your father from the hospital.
I called her over to have a chat because of work.
"Because of work"?
I was wondering if there's anything we can use...
among the Goryeo project files that Dad left.
Sung Jae's files?
I'll get going.
Is anybody kicking you out?
You don't have to rush out.
You can take your time and look at the things you need.
It's okay. You're finally back home.
You should get some rest. I'll get going.
I'll give you a ride. Wait here.
It's all right.
Don't just stand around. Sit.
Yes.
I can't believe Poong Do is going through his dad's files.
That's a surprise.
This time Poong Do is really determined.
Really?
You two have my trust. Keep working hard.
Yes, Chairwoman Ma.
But I have a question.
It's about Seo Pil Doo.
Since when did he live in your house?
Why do you suddenly ask?
Is it because of Poong Do?
Yes.
And also...
Let's go. I'll take her home.
You don't have to.
Are you free tomorrow?
Let's go through the files together.
Sorry. I have plans tomorrow.
"Plans"?
Who are you seeing behind my back?
Aren't I your priority on weekends?
Yeol Mae has to see a doctor. Her appointment's on Saturday.
Is it?
I can't challenge her claim over you.
I lost.
About those files.
Do you think there will be something about Seo Pil Doo?
You've been asking a lot about him lately.
Why so suddenly?
Is something wrong?
No, just because.
It's not "just because".
I can tell you're lying. Just tell me.
I'm all ready to listen.
Seo Pil Doo is...
part of my memory.
I'm not entirely sure yet.
The day of the accident,
I think the man at my house was Seo Pil Doo.
Sim Chung Yi had the seeds?
Chairwoman Ma left the hospital...
and just went home.
She should've gotten the warning.
I hope she learns to be more cautious.
Make sure we aren't being watched.
Yes, sir. About the development institute.
They seem to be growing something. Should we deal with that?
No.
There's no need to anger Poong Do.
Only one person ever knew the secret.
No one ever found it out for decades.
Nothing will happen in a few days.
What about the seeds?
Manager Ko got them in China...
according to Chairwoman Ma's order.
No one in Korea has done any research on those seeds.
Really?
Was Yeo Ji Na mistaken?
Keep an eye on the institute...
and find out more about Sim Chung Yi.
Anything on her childhood including the details.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure you saw Seo Pil Doo?
You remembered?
No. He was covered up, so I didn't see his face.
But when he covered my mouth,
I saw a black shadow.
Mom?
I saw the same thing on Seo Pil Doo.
When I met him at the institute.
"A black shadow"?
Actually, I see...
individual colors around people too.
People have colors?
Other than that of their clothes?
How should I say...
I can see dark and bright energy in colors.
If someone is sick or planning something bad,
I see dark colors around them.
And if someone is happy or cheerful,
that person emits a dazzlingly beautiful and bright color.
Your eyes must be really special.
Let's go on.
- Go on what? - "Mystic TV: Surprise".
Ryan's favorite TV show.
Poong Do.
That's how fascinating this is.
How is that possible?
This will sound even better.
As a child, I was known as the baby shaman in my town.
I got famous while interrupting my mom's consultation...
and caused a huge fuss in my town.
"Baby shaman"?
Why are you telling me this now?
Well,
no one believed it and only gave me weird looks.
I stopped talking about it.
So you saw a black shadow around Seo Pil Doo?
Isn't that just because he's a bad guy?
No. That guy I saw as a child was the only time I saw...
that dark and clammy energy.
There's definitely something to it.
There's too much on my mind.
Grandma will know about him well.
She gave him a scholarship...
and then hired him.
I'll find out more and help. Don't worry too much on your own.
Okay?
(Economic prospect of the Goryeo project)
(Merging the Goryeo project with fashion)
Ko Yo Jeong didn't bring those seeds from China?
Those seeds originally belonged to Sim Chung Yi?
His reaction was so odd.
Chung Yi's so lucky.
How did she have those seeds?
(International call)
Hello?
Attorney Han?
I wired the money to the Philippines.
You can't call me now.
Unless you want Seo Pil Doo looking for you,
don't call me again.
It seems that your son has finally come round.
Watch him from above and help him...
so he can finish what you weren't able to.
What are you still doing up?
Did you take Chung Yi home safely?
Yes.
We still have Dad's files left.
Back then, was Seo Pil Doo on the Goryeo project too?
Yes.
How much do you know about him?
About his personal life.
Chung Yi asked me about him earlier.
Now you too?
What is it you want to know?
On mom's last recording,
she said Seo Pil Doo had something to do with Dad's accident.
But there's no proof.
I want to get to the truth.
Is there a reason you trusted him?
I liked the look in his eye.
There was desperation that kids in his age didn't have.
I thought that would help the company.
It turned out that I was wrong.
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
Tae Yang.
Was it really Dad who bought you this?
What?
Tell the truth.
Did his teacher buy you this?
Yes.
Actually,
Dad and I went for a drive in her car.
You'd get upset if you knew,
so Dad told me to keep it a secret.
Woo Yang, you're making Tae Yang lie now?
Are you angry?
No, I'm not.
Where did you all go?
We rode a car with no roof and saw the flowers.
Next time we'll go to an amusement park.
You should join us then.
"An amusement park"?
Heon Jeong, I'm off with Yeol Mae.
Is something wrong?
What? No.
I should take her instead. Sorry.
Take care of her for me.
Great job, Yeol Mae.
Let's draw something together again next time, okay?
Yeol Mae, see you later.
She doesn't seem as anxious as the last time she was treated...
in the previous hospital.
Really?
That's a relief.
If you look at Yeol Mae's drawings,
you can see that she tries to express her thoughts through these.
And look at the drawing that she made today.
There is one thing that stands out.
I told her to draw the people that she is reminded of right now.
You should pay attention to this man right here.
Children always draw someone they hate.
And they are...
usually drawn as a tiny figure in a corner.
Yeol Mae feels anger toward this man.
"Anger"?
If the guardian feels impatient,
the child will feel anxious too.
Let's say her memory is like a frozen pond.
We have to wait until it slowly begins to melt.
If you throw a stone to break the ice,
it will shatter in uneven pieces.
You're right.
You need to give her a peaceful environment...
and slowly stimulate her speech.
It's a great idea to put up word cards around her.
Well,
she acts as if the accident never happened.
Why does she do that?
You also need to give her some time on that too.
When you go through something very traumatic,
you try to erase or distort your memories.
It can get mixed up with other memories too.
Well, Doctor.
Are you saying old memories...
that you suddenly remember may be inaccurate?
It depends on the situation,
but there is that possibility.
I see.
Why are you here again?
Are you going to come every single day?
Yes, I never skipped a class back when I was in school.
That's not the same as this.
Forget it. I have to work, so leave.
- Gosh. - Just go.
- What are you doing? - What do you think?
I told you that I can't give you this to go.
You can't give me short ribs to go?
What about radish kimchi? Can't you give me that?
I made the radish kimchi.
If you liked it, do you want to take some?
What?
No, it's okay, Heon Jeong.
Did you bring your car?
I'll bring some and put it in your car. Wait here.
It's because I feel bad for getting angry at you before.
What are you going to do?
I knew you would be like this.
I told you that you should have stayed at the hospital.
It's not like lying around will make me better.
I didn't want to be locked up at a hospital.
Of course, you don't.
Why aren't you at the gallery?
Have you given up on work...
even after what Seo Pil Doo did to you?
Why do you always nag at me?
Speak for yourself.
Goodness.
Anyway, where's Mr. Kim?
Be honest.
He quit because he couldn't bear to put up with your temper, right?
What?
You should have treated him better while he was around.
It's not easy to find someone you can trust.
Gosh. My goodness.
Darn it.
You surprised me. Why are you suddenly calling?
What are you doing?
I told you to look into that ages ago.
The house was never empty ever since that time.
There are no seeds, not even one.
And I don't see any flowerpots either.
And the Raw Material Development Institute? Did you go there?
They fenced it up even for three times...
to keep everyone out.
Then there's nothing that you found out?
You never know so you should ask Dad.
Ask him what the story behind those seeds is.
Chung Yi talks a lot with Dad.
Do you honestly think he'll tell me everything?
Mom, it's very important.
Do whatever it takes to find out.
Okay, fine. Let's hang up.
- Thief! - My gosh!
What's with you?
What on earth were you doing in Chung Yi's room to be so shocked?
I'm cleaning her room. Why?
She left her room in a huge mess because of her work,
and I couldn't bear to see it.
I highly doubt that.
Anyway, about Bok Nam.
That flowerpot Yeol Mae carried around.
Where is that?
Why are you asking me about Bok Nam?
Bok Nam plants were the seeds that Chung Yi had...
when she was found in the sea, right?
Does she remember anything?
Since when did you care about her business so much?
Well, it will be Parents' Day soon.
I'm sure Chung Yi will think of her biological parents too.
I thought about looking into them if you have any leads!
You know, the more you speak, the more you sound suspicious.
Just leave her alone.
You're doing her a favor by staying still.
Why do you tell me off even when I'm trying to be nice?
Darn it!
By the way,
did she clean it up?
Hello?
What?
(Seo Pil Doo's personal information)
Born in Busan.
His father killed himself when he was 16.
He has no relatives.
Promoted rapidly from an assistant manager...
to a general manager in 1990.
In 1998, promoted as an executive director.
He got promoted each time there was a problem in the company?
You didn't have to bring it all the way here.
Kimchi containers can be quite heavy.
Anyway, aren't your parents home?
What is this stinky smell?
Gwi Nyeo, did you order kimchi?
It's not like that.
Heon Jeong, this is my mom.
Hello.
You must be Ms. Oh's mother.
Yes.
What's that thing you have in your hands?
Radish kimchi.
I said it was good, and she insisted on giving it to me.
Kitchen is that way.
What are you doing?
It looks as if you're trying to break that container!
Your house looks awfully fancy.
It looks like your precious daughter never went through any trouble.
Do you know what she's like when she's out there?
- Heon Jeong! - Stop.
Why? What did she do?
Take a look.
Your daughter is flirting...
with a married man with a kid and destroying our family!
What? A married man?
Oh Gwi Nyeo.
What is she saying?
Heon Jeong, that's enough.
Why?
Are you embarrassed because your mom is here?
Isn't this some kind of a misunderstanding?
You didn't, did you?
Mom, it's...
You should teach your daughter to be better.
I don't care how desperate she is.
She shouldn't go after a married man with a family!
Did you talk to your husband?
Wasn't he the first to hit on her?
Why would she go after someone like him?
What did you say?
Heon Jeong, you need to stop and leave.
- Let go of me. - You!
Are you a thug or what? Why did you push her?
Don't tell me what to do!
- I'll kill you. - Stop!
Mom, stop it. Stop it.
What is going on? What are you doing?
Teacher Seaweed.
Why are you here?
Hang on. Poong Do.
Do you know her?
Is my memory distorted too?
Wake up. What are you thinking about?
Hello, Ms. Ko.
You could just order a drink instead of stealing from others.
Did you contact China?
Can they get us more seeds?
I put in a request but I'm not sure.
Seo Pil Doo got me scared,
so I want to grow more plants somewhere else.
Okay.
How did you happen to have the seeds?
Ms. Ko had a hard time getting them.
Yes. I've been wanting to ask that too.
Ms. Sim, where did you get them?
That's been bothering me too.
Where did you get those rare seeds?
Are you...
Am I what?
Are you Chinese? Like an overseas Chinese.
What?
You can't remember your childhood...
and drifted to Yongwang-ri on the waves.
Could you ever understand...
Chinese dramas without the subtitles?
Ms. Ko.
(Jubo Group)
I don't see it.
What's wrong?
It comes and goes.
Did you find out why Gwi Nyeo and Heon Jeong fought?
No. I asked after you told me what had happened,
but she won't say.
The world's a small place.
Why are you feeling down?
I heard something while talking to Yeol Mae's doctor.
I'm wondering if my memory's distorted.
If my hatred for Seo Pil Doo is affecting my memories...
I just saw Seo Pil Doo and I didn't see anything.
What is it?
I found something odd in the old files.
In 1990 when the portrait went missing,
and in 1998, the year of my dad's accident,
each time something bad happened, Seo Pil Doo got promoted.
Your dad died in 1998?
Yes. Why?
That was the year I drifted to Yongwang-ri.
Really?
There's an article of Sim Chung Yi in an old local newspaper.
Really? Anything else about her past?
Sim Chung Yi's past?
Would you like to join us?
Sure.
There are rumors that you're looking for other investors.
Are you concerned that I'll side with Ma Poong Do?
I won't deny it.
You and I were involved in a certain incident.
I should have something to fall back on.
Shall I be honest with you?
I have a grudge on someone else.
I thought you knew already.
My mother used to be a florist.
I remember her telling me that pruning...
is important and must be done on time.
That goes for plants and people.
I should ditch Yeo Ji Na?
Are you people stuck to your chairs with glue?
You won't get any ideas just by sitting in one spot.
You are my competition,
but shall I give you a tip on how to get ideas?
Ms. Ko, are you sure this is a brainstorming dance?
If you don't believe me, don't dance.
Doing this increases your blood circulation...
and sends more blood to your brain.
Ideas.
What on earth are you doing at work?
Teu In, Min Joo, and Ji Eun. Let's talk.
My goodness.
She's the weirdest one around.
Darn her.
Ms. Ko. What are you doing?
I took Yeol Mae to a specialist on Saturday.
She's doing okay.
You can visit whenever you want.
This is about the Goryeo project.
Si Joon, you...
No.
Director Baek.
I didn't answer your question properly.
You said you'd give us two weeks.
That's not a lot of time, but I will do my best.
My life depends on this project too.
Your life?
Yes. Good day.
Seo Pil Doo...
is looking into your past.
Did you know?
He's digging into my past?
Seo Pil Doo?
Why would he do that? What for?
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
She drifted into Yongwang-ri in 1998.
1998?
(Girl drifts into Yongwang-ri by the sea)
Mom?
(Girl drifts into Yongwang-ri by the sea)
This child...
Mr. Seo, are you in?
(Girl drifts into Yongwang-ri by the sea)
(Blessing of the Sea)
Sim Chung Yi is Jo Ji Hwan's daughter?
Seo Pil Doo has been doing a background check on me.
Do you think Seo Pil Doo is really the man of my memory?
Why do you look so flustered with that call?
Am I obligated to report to you regarding my personal phone calls?
I need you to look into Yeo Ji Na's whereabouts.
Jo Ji Hwan?
He disappeared right before...
the Goryeo project became a success.
Sung Jae died because of him.
Someone who was so passionate about this one thing...
couldn't have done something that bad.
This man wouldn't do that.
