My goodness, it's you.
Yes, what brings you here?
One of Jenny's old customers asked me to meet.
I see you have company.
Yes.
Then I'll leave you guys to talk.
Is Eun Seok doing well?
Yes, of course.
He knows how to cook rice and several side dishes.
He even makes really good kimchi.
It's not perfect, but he's good with almost everything.
Thank you for teaching him well before he got married.
Bye, then.
What is her problem?
- Is she your in-law? - Yes.
My nephew recently got married.
But I really don't like his mother-in-law.
I can already tell.
But I feel like...
I've seen her somewhere.
You've seen her? Where?
I think I saw her in the States.
I wonder if she was my client.
Your client?
I wonder what she hired you for.
Was it regarding money problems?
I'm not sure.
Wait a minute.
I remember now.
Someone reported her for child abuse.
"Child abuse"?
- We're home. - We're home.
I guess Mother isn't home.
I guess so.
She asked me to come home early and cook dinner,
so she'll probably be home soon.
You should get some rest while I make dinner.
What are you talking about? We should do it together.
Let me get changed and wash my hands first.
Okay.
"Child abuse"? Are you serious?
She only has one daughter, right?
Yes.
Her daughter got married to my nephew.
Did they live in the States around 20 years ago?
Yes, they did.
I was told they lived in the States when Jenny was young.
And that probably was around 20 years ago.
You know I have good memory.
I think her name was...
Her name was "Loren". Yes, I remember now.
Just like Sophia Loren.
What? "Sophia Loren"?
Yes, she told everyone she named herself "Loren"...
because she looks like Sophia Loren.
But how exactly did she abuse her child?
Her daughter rarely came outside.
But apparently, she always looked really gloomy.
Whenever her neighbors saw her,
her body was covered in bruises.
And she never come outside to play with the other kids.
She also went to school a year later than she was supposed to.
My goodness.
So their neighbor thought it was really weird...
and called the cops one day.
There were so many suspicious things,
but the kid never talked.
My goodness gracious.
The situation became a little awkward,
and the kid kept crying saying she doesn't want to part with her mom,
so we couldn't isolate them.
My friend was her attorney back then.
The case didn't end up going to court,
but my friend was heartbroken about it...
because the kid was so cute and adorable.
I only saw photos of the bruises on her daughter's body,
but it was really terrible. I still remember it vividly.
My gosh.
That's so hard to believe.
I can't believe Jenny went through something so horrible.
Are you sure? You could be wrong.
I know it's been over 20 years since I saw her,
but I think I'm right.
My goodness.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mom, that really hurts. That hurts so much.
Why are you looking at me?
Because you're pretty.
Of course, I'm pretty.
Exactly.
Eun Seok, did nothing really happen during my hypnotherapy?
- No. - I'm home.
Hey, Mom.
- You're home. - Yes.
Is dinner ready?
Yes, Mother. I cooked spicy beef stew.
I guess I'll get to taste your spicy beef stew today.
Set the dinner table.
I hope the spicy beef stew doesn't taste that good.
Then I'll be able to throw a fit.
I'm sorry, Eun Seok.
My mom's really brazen, isn't she?
She's doing it on purpose.
Yes, you're right. She's purposely trying...
to make you get irritated and angry.
To be honest, I'm not angry.
I get to cook thanks to your mother.
And you even get to eat my food.
It's fun and worthwhile.
Thank you.
I'm going to do everything she asks me to do for a month.
So you should also just wait and see.
Don't try to take my side...
and end up fighting with your mother.
Okay.
- You should bring her out. - Okay.
Someone reported her for child abuse.
I only saw photos of the bruises on her daughter's body,
but it was really terrible. I still remember it vividly.
What? "Child abuse"?
She really is one lowly and vulgar woman.
My gosh, what's wrong with the spicy beef stew?
It's kind of like doenjang soup and dried radish leaves soup.
Haven't you ever had spicy beef stew before?
I think it's nice and spicy. It's really delicious.
Don't take his side just because he's your husband.
You should be honest. That's how he'll improve.
Mom, stop picking on him just because you want to.
Let's go ahead and ask someone else to taste it.
I personally don't like it. It's bitter and salty.
Let me take that. I'll season it again.
Forget it. That's going to take ages.
It's okay. I'll just eat it.
Okay, Mother.
You eat so well for someone who thinks it's salty.
I can't eat rice without any soup.
The soup is no good, but what can I do?
If I don't eat it, the food will go to waste.
I think it's really delicious.
Enjoy it all you want.
Mom, Eun Seok told me that he enjoys cooking.
So what if he enjoys it? He needs to be good at it.
I'll get better with time.
My dad apparently enjoyed cooking as well.
I must take after him.
Why would you mention your dead father again?
It's not like he died a natural death either.
From now on, please don't talk about your parents in front of me.
- Mom! - Once you're done eating,
don't forget to make kkakdugi.
- Okay, Mother. - We already have tons of kimchi.
Why do you keep telling him to make kkakdugi?
We should always have kkakdugi at home.
I should add the rice in the soup since it's so salty.
He really knows how to cook.
It's hard for me to lash out at him.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
Mom, stop being so childish.
Hurry up and answer your phone.
Let me know where you are and what you're doing.
That way, I'll be able to go to bed without being so worried.
She isn't even reading my texts. This is so upsetting.
Ae Young.
You ate so much. Aren't you full?
I know, right?
The baby must have a huge appetite.
I normally don't eat that much.
- Oh, I see. - It's interesting.
Go ahead and enjoy.
You look happy.
Young Man.
Go and take a look in the kitchen.
Why? Is Ae Young in the kitchen?
She's been in there since dinner. She's not thinking of coming out.
I guess she's overeating instead of having morning sickness.
She's hungry all the time.
I don't even know her that well.
But when I'm home, I see her everywhere I go.
It's honestly really hard to get used to.
Eun Ji, please don't turn your back on me like this.
I really have no one to lean on.
Why can't you just try liking her?
How? There's nothing likable about her.
Anyway, I'm staying calm for the sake of your baby.
But I think I kind of get why Mom's so angry.
My gosh, why is she always in the kitchen?
What's wrong? You should have some too.
Ae Young.
Let's take these upstairs.
Why?
Your mother isn't even coming home tonight.
The second floor is suffocating.
I want to watch TV.
- I'll go upstairs to sleep. - What?
Here we go.
Isn't he angry?
I guess he's planning to do everything I ask of him.
He should be getting angry by now.
Living like this isn't half bad.
If Man Su stops harassing me,
my life would be so easygoing.
Sir, I found the identity of the guy in the composite sketch.
Really?
(Choi Yeon Ho, Family members: None)
(Has contacted Wang Soo Jin several times during the past two months)
(Former cop, got fired for accepting bribery)
He used to be a cop?
She used to abuse her daughter when she was young.
What if she ends up abusing Eun Seok as well?
You know what? I can't just do nothing.
I should pay a surprise visit and see how Eun Seok's doing.
Eun Seok, I'll finish up.
No, I started it, so I should be the one to finish up.
Don't bother getting your hands wet. You should go inside.
No, I'm sure you're exhausted.
I'm not exhausted.
It's fun to make kimchi while listening to music.
You should go inside and get ready for tomorrow's meeting.
- Let me help a little bit. - No, it's okay.
Come on.
Who's here at this hour?
I wonder who's here.
What brings you here without even calling?
I was passing by,
and I thought I'd drop by to say hello to Eun Seok.
I get that you were passing by,
but you can't just barge in here like this.
My goodness.
I should've called you beforehand...
and asked you for permission, but I totally forgot.
I'm sorry.
I promise I'll call beforehand the next time I visit.
What's Eun Seok doing?
Well, he's...
What do you think he'd be doing at this hour?
He's doing housework.
What did you say?
What are you doing?
Aunt Ae Ri.
Eun Seok makes amazing kimchi.
He willingly volunteered to make kimchi.
You got married to do this?
I'm doing it because it's fun.
It's fun?
You're wearing an apron past 9pm on a weekday.
And you're telling me it's fun to make kimchi?
It sure looks like you're having the time of your life.
Why can't your mother-in-law do this herself?
Why?
Who says a son-in-law can't make kimchi?
Eun Seok, you should pack some kkakdugi for her.
She can take them home and have a taste.
That's not necessary.
Can I have a word with you?
Let me finish this up.
Just stop right now!
Why are you making him stop? He should finish making it.
You're being awfully rude at my house.
"Rude"?
You're the one who's being rude.
Did you ask him to move in with you...
so you could make him slave away in the kitchen?
How could you possibly call yourself human?
How dare you raise your voice under my roof?
How exactly do you expect me to stay calm?
Aunt Ae Ri, please calm down.
Eun Seok, I'll finish up. You should take her inside.
Why would you do that?
I told you not to do any housework.
What... What?
Mom, what's wrong with you?
Aunt Ae Ri, please wait in our room.
I'll bring you some tea.
Let's go, Aunt Ae Ri.
What a funny woman.
What? A funny woman?
Let's... Let's go, Aunt Ae Ri.
Did she expect me to treat her with respect or something?
- Mom. - What?
Did you get married to do this kind of stuff?
Why do you live like this?
I'm okay, Aunt Ae Ri.
She doesn't think of you as her son-in-law.
She thinks of you as a housekeeping slave.
Nice going, Eun Seok.
It's not what you think. I just had some free time...
Will you shut it?
I'm so angry.
Sit down for second.
I wonder what she's here to talk about with him at this hour.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
She didn't even have a decent job.
But she frequently went outside with Jenny...
and came back home in the middle of the night.
And no one had any idea what she did when they were home.
But it apparently seemed like she was always abusing Jenny.
What?
Whatever the case, they were really poor.
She never even lived with her husband.
So I'm thinking she got married to get a citizenship.
Are you sure about this?
He's a very accurate person.
He says he might be wrong since it happened a long time ago.
But he wouldn't have told me if he wasn't sure.
Apparently, Jenny was always...
covered in bruises back when she was young.
I think I should meet him myself.
Yes, you should meet him. I'll give you his number.
If your mother-in-law turns out to be someone really weird,
you'd better move out right away.
You should also think about breaking up with Jenny.
That's not going to change how I feel about Jenny.
What?
I'll keep that in mind though.
Okay.
From what I remember, you guys were never that close.
But you must've had a lot to say to your nephew today.
Yes, I think I'm going to visit more frequently from now on...
so I can see how my nephew's doing.
Sure, do whatever you want.
I packed you some of the kimchi that Eun Seok made.
It's not necessary.
The chairman will love it.
It's Eun Seok's handmade kimchi, so you should ask him to try some.
- Jenny. - Yes?
We're holding a memorial service this weekend,
so there's going to be a lot to do.
- I want you to show up early, okay? - Okay, Aunt Ae Ri.
A memorial service? Who does that these days?
We do.
It's for her late father-in-law,
so have her show up early in the morning.
Why does she need to prepare...
for her father-in-law's memorial service?
Shouldn't his son...
be the one to prepare for the service?
What are you saying?
I can't believe what's coming out of your mouth. Are you insane?
I'm totally sane right now.
I didn't raise Jenny like that.
Now that she's become your niece-in-law,
you guys should change things up a bit.
You treat Eun Seok like a slave,
but you don't want me to do the same to Jenny?
Jenny.
You'd better be prepared.
Okay, don't worry.
I'll be off now.
Eun Seok, take this and load it in her car.
Okay.
Aunt Ae Ri.
Mom!
I thought you weren't going to come home.
Why wouldn't I come home? It's my house.
Mom! Mom!
I'm so glad you're home. You have no idea how worried I was.
If you're so worried about me,
get rid of your darn honey.
Okay, she's upstairs right now.
Mother, you're home.
My gosh, you made us all worry for nothing.
Did you forget what I said to you?
Of course not.
How could I forget? You were really harsh.
I thought I should listen to you at first,
but I didn't think it was right for me...
to stay in my room when my mother-in-law came home.
Why does she talk so much? My gosh, it's so annoying.
Did you eat?
- What if I didn't eat? - I'll fix you dinner.
Forget it. Just go upstairs.
Ae Young, what's with you? Let's go upstairs.
What's wrong with you, honey?
Letting the baby listen to the family conversation...
is apparently really good for its prenatal education.
Will you please get rid of her?
Mother, I'm not an object.
You keep telling him to get rid of me,
but it's only going to upset my baby.
If you think about it, it's kind of like child abuse.
What... What did you say?
The baby and I are one right now.
Abusing me is the same thing as abusing my baby.
My gosh, what's the matter with you? Let's go upstairs.
Let me go.
There's not a single day of peace in this family.
"Child abuse"?
My gosh, I can't believe she accused me of child abuse.
Where's your grandfather? Is he sleeping?
No, I think he's in his room.
Put this in the fridge.
What's this?
Isn't this kimchi?
Eun Seok apparently made it.
What?
Why would Eun Seok make kimchi?
My gosh, how flabbergasting.
What? "Child abuse"?
My goodness, I can't believe what I'm hearing right now.
I knew there was something wrong with her...
the moment she yanked at my hair at the hotel coffee shop.
I figured she'd be an uneducated and vulgar woman.
It seems like she really did live a lowly life.
I'm surprised Jenny managed to grow up so well.
She went against the odds and managed to succeed.
And there's more, Dad.
I dropped by Eun Seok's place on my way home,
and he was making kimchi all by himself in the kitchen.
It looked like he was their housekeeper.
Who?
Who do you think? It was Eun Seok.
What?
Eun Seok was making kimchi?
Yes.
My goodness.
What in the world is going on?
I'll sleep with Ms. Ji tonight.
You guys can forget about her and sleep together.
No, it's okay.
Can't she just sleep with me?
I want to sleep with Grandma.
Why not? You can sleep with me.
No, it's okay. I'll sleep with her tonight.
I like that I get to sleep with my mom.
Mother, I'm really okay.
I'm not okay with it.
My gosh, everything will be fine.
No, I'll tie myself to Ms. Ji with a rope tonight...
so that I'll wake up even when she breathes. End of discussion.
Okay, fine. I'll sleep with Kyung In and Ma Eum tonight.
It's settled now. End of discussion.
Kyung In, you'd better not sleep like a dog like you did last time.
Okay, I won't.
The person I loved
So dearly
Mom, where are you?
I don't like it here.
Mom, why aren't you coming?
Help me.
Please save me.
I don't like it here.
My gosh.
My gosh, that hurts.
What?
I must've lost it again.
How long is this going to last?
I'm giving my family such a hard time.
You know what?
I really should do something about this.
I don't think anything happened last night.
I know, right? Kyung In must've done a good job of protecting her.
Song Ah, just give me a little time.
I'll catch the Black Rose before the year ends.
Then I'll start looking for Kyung Ah right away.
Okay.
- Yes, this is Ahn Man Su. - Hey, Man Su.
There's something I'd like to talk to you about.
Oh, I see. Should we meet at your restaurant in the afternoon?
That'd be great.
You can eat lunch at my restaurant.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
I mean,
he was kind enough to make this for me.
So I should ask him for help.
I was passing by, and I thought I'd come inside.
Oh, I see. I'm glad you're here.
Did the kids visit again to get a consultation?
Your son-in-law came with your daughter that day.
And I told him what you said.
I see. What did he say?
He told me that he understood, and we stopped the consultation.
But it seemed like they were off to another hospital.
Another hospital?
He apparently found a hypnotherapist,
and he left to take your daughter there.
What? You should've stopped them.
Your daughter's curiosity about her childhood was so strong,
so I couldn't stop them.
I can't believe they never listen.
How did it go?
There's no logical explanation to prove...
that the Black Rose had anything to do...
with the accidents that were mentioned by Chairman Oh.
That's what I expected.
How can the hit-and run...
be related to the Black Rose who was active 30 years ago?
It's just absurd.
It won't do us any good to raise an issue...
about what happened 25 years ago.
And it's going to be a waste of manpower.
Plus, the statute of limitations has expired already.
- What about the composite sketch? - It takes a lot of effort...
to find someone merely based on a composite sketch.
You're right.
People are skeptical about carrying out an investigation...
based on groundless assumptions...
because they think it's only going to be a waste of manpower.
But if we don't do anything, Chairman Oh will be very upset.
Then I'll make sure to find the hit-and-run driver.
Yes, you should find him as fast as you can.
Then the chairman won't be too upset.
Okay, sir.
I'm here.
I'm glad you're here.
I actually have a favor to ask you.
I see.
You gave me a scrapbook regarding my missing daughter,
and I'm really grateful for that.
Don't mention it.
But my gut feeling tells me that my daughter isn't in Korea.
I feel like she ended up going abroad.
There might not be any adoption records,
but someone could've just taken her abroad.
Yes, I guess that's possible.
So I've been wondering...
if you could help me...
find my daughter.
Me?
You're the first person...
that showed interest in Kyung Ah...
and made something...
so precious for me.
I feel like I might be able to find her...
if you help me out.
Plus, you do business all over the world,
so I'm sure you have informants abroad.
Well, yes. That is true.
Here.
I withdrew my entire savings.
What?
Can you please use this...
to help me out?
I know this may sound weird,
but I can't...
stop thinking...
that you might actually be able to find Kyung Ah.
Actually, to be more honest,
I feel like...
you might even know...
who Kyung Ah is.
(Shady Mom-in-law)
What is it?
They're photos. It's going to be a little shocking.
What is all this?
Are they really photos of Jenny?
Yes, I'm sure of it.
She always wishes to glamorize her relationship with her daughter.
She's going to deny it until the end.
Was it the gypsies? Or was it my mother-in-law?
Did you find the guy in the composite sketch?
We'll be able to find him soon.
You told me...
that you'll be able to track the Black Rose if you find this guy.
You should catch her as quickly as you can.
