Mister!

Mr. Homeless.

What are you doing? Let's go inside.

Here, dry yourself.

You said you hated the rain, so why did you let yourself get soaked?

Madam!

Excuse me...

The one who was with the madam right before the accident was him.

Madam! Wake up!

Madam!

Help!

She's dying!

Please, someone help!

If he was still there at the time of the madam's accident...

Perhaps her accident was...

You really are a handful.

If you fall sick, I'll be the one to suffer.

Stop, young lady!

I was in the middle of something important

and you interrupted my stream of thoughts.

On what?

The madam's...

Never mind.

Why stop mid-sentence? Don't leave me hanging.

What is it?

I'm not sure if I should tell you this first.

But I think...

Go get changed now!

Did he...

really see me?

Madam!

Madam! Wake up!

Madam!

Help!

Is no one around?

She's dying!

Help!

Madam!

Madam, get up!

Madam, wake up!

Madam!

How could this happen.

How much did he see?

What's the matter?

The jar my mom cherished...

Why is it broken?

Did you do this?

I was out with you and just got back.

When would I have had the time?

Someone's been rummaging through the kitchen.

A thief?

Other than the broken jar, is anything missing?

I don't think so.

The cash at the counter is untouched,

and all the ingredients are still here, right?

That's right.

But someone definitely went through the kitchen.

Really?

By any chance, do you know how much that broken jar is worth?

I'm not sure.

My mom treasured it so much she wouldn't even let me touch it

I'll file a report for now.

Check again for any other missing items and let me know.

Thank you, detective.

You've been through a lot. Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, I'm good.

I no longer drink coffee.

Then maybe the others...

No.

They all quit, too.

I'll go upstairs and check if anything else is missing.

You got all the fingerprints, right?

- Yes, sir. - Okay.

- Goodnight. - Excuse me!

What is it this time?

Are you trying to drag up the past and start another argument?

I have something important to tell you.

What could possibly be so important?

Why are you acting so serious?

It's about the madam.

Not that again.

I told you, she was alone that day.

No, she was not alone that day.

She had company, and I think I know who it was.

You said you didn't see the person's face.

That's right.

But I remember everything else,

and I've found someone who matches.

Come on.

Without the face, it could be anyone.

How can you identify someone just by their body shape?

Do not underestimate the memory of the Transcendent Genius.

I'm certain.

It was him.

Do you have any proof?

[Mr. Lee]

The evidence I have,

is what I saw and heard.

So I need your help.

Please investigate him thoroughly.

Find out why he met the madam just before the accident

and what exactly happened on those stairs that day…

What did you just say?

Who did my mom meet just before the accident?

Well, that is…

I asked you a question. Who was the person my mom met?

This has gotten out of hand.

What should we do?

What else?

Detective Kang, you need to contain it again.

A witness has come forward, and the victim's family will take action.

What exactly do you expect me to do?

Believe it or not, I'm a cop. I can't ignore the procedures,

and keep covering for you.

But you've been doing exactly that all this time.

And willingly, at that.

There's only so much I can sweep under the rug.

Now that it's come to this

I have no choice but to investigate you.

Investigate me based on the words of someone with no clear identity?

Even if we ignore him, what about Bong Eun Sil?

You really think the victim's daughter will just let this go?

So, you're saying she's suspecting me just because of what he said.

Then, all we need to do is invalidate what she heard.

How do we invalidate something that she has already heard?

Try making some sense.

Eun Sil.

I figured you'd come, so I waited.

You should've called me instead of waiting outside in the cold.

This isn't something to talk about over the phone.

Let's go inside.

Thank you so much for earlier.

I was caught off guard when it suddenly started raining.

I'll buy you a new umbrella.

I left mine in front of the restaurant, but I can't find it anymore.

That's not what I'm here for.

Chef, I heard you met my mom.

Just before her accident.

That's true.

I saw her that morning, just before dawn.

Then why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to.

I wanted to tell you so many times, but…

Every time I tried, that person was there.

That person? Who?

Oh, do you mean Mr. Homeless?

I assume he's the one who told you that I met your mother.

Yes, that's right.

He's keeping me in check.

Why would he do that?

Because he's afraid of the truth I know.

He wanted to make sure you wouldn't trust me.

What is taking her so long?

[Eun Sil]

The recipient is unavailable Please leave a message after the beep.

A service charge may apply.

Who is this speaking?

Where is Lady Eun Sil?

Call her here at once!

Excuse me?

[Mr. Homeless]

Go on.

The truth is… your mother called for me that night.

She said she had something important to discuss.

At that hour?

She seemed restless, unable to sleep

and for good reason.

She told me she had been scammed.

My mom… was scammed?

Yes.

By the man you're working with now.

Gyosan.

What?

Mr. Homeless?

Chef, what are you trying to say?

That man isn't the type to do something like that.

Then...

Do I look like someone who would lie to you?

That's not what I meant...

He barely even knows how the world works What kind of scam could he pull?

That naïveté is exactly what deceived your mother.

That night, she told me

she had helped him out of pity...

Only to have him stab her in the back.

Now, do you understand why I never trusted him?

I've been trying to warn you all along.

You must be mistaken.

- The Mr. Homeless, I know... - And what exactly do you know about him?

- Well... - That he came from Joseon?

That a man who supposedly never cooked before

can suddenly make quality dishes overnight?

All those ridiculous lies.

How could you...

possibly believe them?

It wasn't his words I believed.

I believed in the character he revealed through his actions.

His character.

Sure, your mother must have thought the same.

And yet, she was deceived and came to me.

That day, your mother and I met for a brief moment.

And I...

I regret that more than anything.

If I had just walked her home that night...

this accident wouldn't have happened.

I understand what you're saying,

but I need to confirm it myself.

Eun Sil.

Don't you find all of this suspicious?

That man, Gyosan was there when your mother had her accident.

Do you think that's just a coincidence?

But what were you doing there last night?

Didn't we part ways in front of Changdeokgung?

I was merely looking around the neighborhood...

What if he was involved in your mother's accident?

That's enough!

I don't want to hear it anymore.

I have no idea what's going on.

You must be confused.

I understand.

If you can't trust me...

Then ask someone else.

For example...

The police.

Please leave a message after the beep...

It's the other lady again.

She says the same thing every time!

Young lady!

Where have you been this late at night?

Do you know how worried I was?

You were worried about me?

Of course, I was.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

You told me to always keep this with me and pick up when you call.

Mister.

Are you hiding anything from me?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Something about my mother.

Is there really nothing you need to tell me?

She's better off not knowing until I'm certain.

No.

The day my mom had her accident…

Why were you there?

That's...

Give me an honest answer.

Fine, I'll tell you the truth.

That night, I returned to that place because I was trying to go back to Joseon.

Enough with that nonsense about Joseon!

Give me something I can actually believe!

Tell me why!

Why were you there, at that time, at that exact place?

Give me a reason that makes sense!

Everything I've told you is the truth!

Wait...

Young lady,

are you doubting me?

I want to believe you.

So give me an answer I can believe.

If you refuse to accept the truth...

then there's nothing more I can say.

Great! Isn't this fun?

You need to match the line.

Heo's Diner, let's make it big!

Heo's Diner, let's make it big!

Heo's Diner, let's go!

Heo's Diner, let's go!

Everything I saw was a lie?

That can't be true.

Where did he go?

[Mr. Homeless]

Help!

Is no one around?

I need solid proof.

Only then can I reveal the culprit and clear the young lady's misunderstanding.

But too much time has passed, and there were no witnesses…

What should I do?

Young lady, this is the first time you've called me first.

Did you sleep well?

- About yesterday, we both misunderstood. - Where are you?

I'm out to find...

I'm out to buy groceries.

You're at the market?

Yes.

I'll take care of it myself, so you should rest a little longer.

So… you're at the market right now?

I understand.

Detective Kang.

Bong Eun Sil.

I'm sorry for dropping by so early…

So, you're saying she's suspecting me just because of what he said.

Then, all we need to do is invalidate what she heard.

How do we invalidate something that she has already heard?

Try making some sense.

Before long, Bong Eun Sil will come to you

asking about that man, Gyosan.

When that happens, Detective Kang, just handle it the right way.

No need to apologize.

Tell me what's on your mind.

Today's guest on Talk Lounge is someone at the center of all the buzz lately.

From a beloved CF fairy to a rising actress, please welcome Jung Mi Sol!

Hello, everyone. I'm actress Jung Mi Sol.

The studio already feels so much brighter with you here!

Oh no, already?

What if it reaches dangerous levels by the time we're done?

You're as cheerful as ever.

But I heard you went through a tough time recently.

Yes, because of the eating disorder I was struggling with.

There were some misunderstandings, and I ended up worrying a lot of people.

First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for that.

But I'm doing so much better now

I even have a go-to restaurant.

I wish it were all just a misunderstanding.

[Detective Kang Jin Su]

Yes, detective.

Bong Eun Sil?

I looked into the identity you asked about.

Yes, please go on.

Just so you know, sharing this information is illegal.

So you cannot say that you heard this from me

I swear, I won't say a word.

That man has quite the record.

Fourteen prior convictions, all for fraud.

Young lady, what are you doing out here?

Let's go inside.

Detective Kang.

Yes?

What are you doing here?

Just looking for something real quick.

Where did I put my phone? Jeez...

Oh, it's in my hand.

Pull yourself together.

You've been acting strange lately.

There's nothing to be strange about.

Let's just go.

When I was young, so many people adored me

for being cute and charming

I think I felt pressured

to maintain that image

for as long as possible.

As a result, whenever I ate something

I'd think, "What if I lose this look?"

"What if people no longer like me?"

That fear… it got to me.

And before I knew it, I was caught in a cycle of eating and purging...

Cut!

Let's take a short break.

Well done.

Jung Mi Sol.

The content is great

but you're saying it too flatly.

Try to bring out more feeling, okay?

Huh? How do I…?

Make the audience feel the struggles of a child model.

Get emotional, maybe even shed a few tears.

We need viewers to connect with you.

Got it?

Yes, okay.

Okay, let's go again.

You can do this!

Let's begin.

Okay, cue!

I think I felt a lot of pressure

to maintain my childhood image for as long as possible…

So...

Whenever I ate something, I'd...

I'd be afraid...

Darn it.

I quit!

Why do I have to act when I'm talking about my own story?!

Seriously!

Even back then, I never cried about it. So why should I now?!

Let's go.

I'm really sorry! Really sorry!

We're here to eat Are you open?

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Sit.

- Hey, mister. - Mae Chang.

Excuse me, can we get two set menus?

Of course.

Please wait a moment.

Where's Eun Sil?

Why is she making him do all the hard work?

Could we get some more side dishes?

Side dish refills are self-serve.

Here, I'll serve the food.

You stay in the kitchen.

At this rate, everyone's going to leave.

But you're also a customer. I couldn't possibly...

I'll just ask Eun Sil to pay me, so don't worry.

Very well, then.

- Mi Sol, you're so pretty. - Thank you.

- I'm your fan. - Enjoy.

Thank you.

Chef Lee.

You were right about everything.

That man...

He was...

You must be in shock.

Sit down, take a breath, and tell me everything.

Why didn't I think to check sooner?

Why did I just laugh off all the strange things he said?

Don't blame yourself.

When people like him set their minds to deception

it's almost impossible not to fall for it.

This isn't your fault, Eun Sil.

Did he really do that to my mom?

Did he really try to hurt her?

That's how I see it.

He's a very dangerous man.

You should avoid being alone with him for now.

But it doesn't make sense.

If he really did that to my mom,

why didn't he run? Why is he still here...

working at our restaurant?

I don't know...

But do you remember the day you came here, saying you wanted to sell the diner?

Yes.

But he stopped me...

Yes, so it wasn't concluded.

Back then, he said something like this...

It's not a diner, it's "Heo's Diner".

Stay out of this, mister.

The diner is my business to handle.

Excuse me, it's not just a diner.

It's "Heo's Diner".

And since the diner bears my name and I run the kitchen as suksu,

I have a say in this.

Then, he...

He wasn't trying to protect the diner.

He was trying to take it for himself.

I had no idea.

I went and named the diner after him.

At least you know now.

I'll help you.

Thank you, Chef Lee.

Ugh, why is this so exhausting?

I'll pass out at this rate.

I'm sorry, today's service is over.

What are you saying?

There's still food left. How can you just close up?

If Eun Sil finds out, she'll be furious.

She skipped work today, so who is she to get mad?

Anyway, I can't do this any further.

I guess there's no other choice.

I suppose we'll have to call it a day early.

Apologies, today's service is over.

It's a bit late, but let's eat.

I was so busy that I forgot how hungry I was.

Seriously, you're the best.

By the way, do you know where Eun Sil went?

It seems I made Lady Eun Sil hear something unnecessary yesterday

and it's been weighing heavily on her mind.

You two fought again?

You're like a couple of kids.

It wasn't a fight...

What's going on?

Should I follow him?

I need to talk to him

and find out what he really wants.

I told you, he's dangerous.

If you insist on seeing him, take me with you.

Young lady.

Why are you with this man?

"This man?"

Just yesterday, you were clinging to me, calling me "Gwansong".

Now, your whole attitude has changed overnight.

I know what you've done to the madam.

I will no longer call you a friend.

Young lady, come with me.

This man is dishonest.

The one I can't trust is you.

What are you saying…?

Who are you, really?

Tell me the truth.

You approached me and my mom to deceive us, didn't you?

Deceive you?

I have never lied to you or your mother.

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

What have you done to my mom?

And after everything, why are you still here? Why are you still at the diner?

What do you want from me?

I have no idea why you are doing this.

You!

You've been manipulating her!

You were the one who harmed her mother!

It's not worth listening to him anymore.

Make sure he never sets foot in your mother's diner again.

Mister.

Please leave our diner.

Young lady, you can't let him fool you.

Let's talk, just the two of us.

Eun Sil has made her decision.

So, leave the diner.

How dare you!

Face me fairly and fight me head-on!

Don't hide behind her and twist the truth!

Are you saying he is plotting something against them?

It's my fault.

I rejected his offer, and now my friends...

Mister!

What is all this about?

Eun Sil, why are you treating him like this?

After everything he's done for this place, you're just kicking him out?

You don't know anything, Mi Sol.

Stay out of this.

I'm really disappointed in you.

Mister, let's go.

I'll find you another restaurant.

You don't need to cling to this second-rate diner.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Come sit over here.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling much better.

Thanks to you.

This whole thing is making me so mad.

Why is Eun Sil even siding with that smug jerk, Lee Hyuk?

People like him aren't worth getting upset over.

Just forget about it.

Anyway, get some rest.

No, he would never.

But I saw it with my own eyes.

The letter written in his own hand.

Is this a piece of memory I had lost?

What exactly happened to me and my friends?

Lady Eun Sil.

Taste this.

Did you sleep well?

Mister, sit here for a second.

- Why am I the only one having a hard time? - Hilarious, right?

Everyone laughs, while watching my wooden acting.

Come on, lighten up a little.

Being gloomy doesn't suit you at all.

But what does it mean to act like wood?

Acting stiff like wood.

It means my acting is terrible.

I kept trying to become an actress

but I was always just a joke to people.

I don't see what's so funny about this.

Mocking you is not amusing at all.

You really know how to say the right things, don't you?

But they're right, my acting is wooden.

I don't really understand what feeling sad really is.

That's why I'll never make it as an actress.

That's not true.

You are a gifted artist, Mae Chang.

The Mae Chang I knew was brilliant in poetry, in music, in every instrument.

Was she really that incredible?

Yes.

I was a huge fan of her talent.

Did she resemble me that much?

You resemble her so much. Almost as if you are the same person.

That's not exactly common, you know?

Anyway, my name is Jung Mi Sol.

Jung Mi Sol doesn't have any of those talents.

Take my word,

Mae Chang.

No, Jung Mi Sol...

is an artist with a gifted talent.

Even the most beautiful melodies…

If there is no one to hear them

they are no different from the fleeting whispers of the wind.

My Lord, Gyosan.

My Lady, terrible news!

Stop! Stop!

Please stop.

I'll confess everything!

Please stop.

So, do you finally remember?

Do you recall the crime you and your men have committed?

I...

I have committed treason.

I defied the King

and I conspired to place Prince Yeongchang on the throne.

I am guilty of high treason.

So please.

Just end my life.

The criminal has confessed.

For the crime of treason

he shall face the severest punishment.

On the coming new moon...

carry out their execution.

- Yes, Your Excellency! - Yes, Your Excellency!

I have to go.

Go where?

Gwansong.

No, Lee Hyuk is a dangerous man.

I can't let Lady Eun Sil stay by his side.

She made her choice.

It's her life. Let her deal with it.

I have to go.

You're not even in good shape. Rest today and go tomorrow.

If I wait and something happens to her...

I won't be able to live with myself.

Thank you for everything.

Fine.

I'll take you there.

Mom, I'm here.

Chef Lee is here with me, too.

I heard everything about Mr. Homeless.

I can't believe I was so clueless…

Thinking he was protecting our diner, I was grateful to him.

I feel so stupid.

But thanks to Chef Lee

at least I know the truth now.

I kicked him out of the diner.

And I'll make sure he pays for what he did to you.

I'm going to talk to the nurse for a bit.

That man might try to come see my mom again.

So I need to warn them.

Okay, I'll wait here.

Okay.

Mom, I'll be back.

And you don't know where he went?

Yes.

I understand.

Yes.

Is she not at home?

I called the restaurant, but they said Lee Hyuk is out.

Looks like they went somewhere together.

I hope nothing bad happens…

Let's just go back, mister. We don't even know when they'll return.

No, I have someone else I need to meet. You should head home, Mae Chang.

Thank you.

And for the clothes, too.

[Inspector Kim Gap Su's Special Promotion All staff at Seonbuk Police Station.]

Congratulations, inspector!

You there, officer!

What?

How did you know I was here?

I'm come from the police station.

They said you were in this area, so I searched everywhere.

Let's talk outside.

How is the investigation on Lee Hyuk going?

You can't afford to waste any more time.

That man not only harmed the diner's madam, but now he's targeting Eun Sil!

Why haven't I heard any updates?

Hey, Kang.

What's going on?

It's nothing.

Follow me.

Where are you going?

Hey, officer!

You're doing this to me on purpose, aren't you?

You deliberately came to a police gathering to spout that nonsense, didn't you?

I only spoke the truth, so why are you so upset?

I've got enough on my plate as it is!

I've made a formal request for an investigation.

You need to reveal the truth about Lee Hyuk's crimes.

- We have no time to lose. - Reveal what, exactly?

You are the suspect!

What did you say?

Bong Eun Sil thinks you were the one who hurt her mother!

How would you know that?

Because I'm the one who's supposed to arrest you.

But if you go down, I go down with you.

Ever since I helped you in the beginning, letting an unidentified person walk free

and today's identification...

Forget it.

Can you please...

just disappear?

I'm begging you. Don't make things worse and just go.

Lee Hyuk isn't someone you can take on.

So you never planned to investigate Lee Hyuk at all, did you?

How long have you been his lapdog?

What?

Lapdog?

Say that again.

Say that again!

Move out of the way.

I have nothing more to say to someone like you.

I'll find help elsewhere.

I told you not make things worse!

I said, move!

Why, you...

What are you doing?

I should have just...!

Let go of me!

You bastard!

Come on, why did you have to do that?

It's time for you to go.

Hey.

What's the matter?

Huh?

Kang!

My Lord, your friends are in danger.

The seven illegitimate sons you cherish! They are in grave danger.

My friends? In danger?

It's my fault.

I rejected his offer, and now my friends...

I take it Gwansong was the one who ordered my death.

I will. Now, it's time to go.
