Timing and Subtitles by the Substitute Mother Team @ Viki
[Looking for a child]
- What's your name? - Yoon Bok.
Mom!
Kim Hye Na, girl/9 years old Height: 110 cm, Weight: 17 kg]
- Oh, you have a birthmark. - Yes.
The only thing I'm sure is that
I just have to leave for somewhere far away with that child right away.
Why? Do you know the child?
It's because she's so cute.
But Detective... do you think this child has died?
It's been a little over a month since she disappeared.
There's very little chance that she simply lost her way.
And there aren't any of the elements usually seen in a kidnapping case.
Ah... then assuming that the child has died is...
Death is just one of the possibilities.
Then.. other reasons might be...
Well, someone could have taken her as well.
Do you have a suspect?
I can't tell you since it's under investigation.
Then perhaps, could I find out the circumstances surrounding the abuse by the mother?
You're quite unique.
Why are you so interested in this case?
- Episode 8 -
- What's the matter? - Grandma isn't here.
Grandma?
She's in the break room with Ahjussi Jae Beom.
She didn't pass away, right?
No. She won't pass away that suddenly.
I just met with her.
Did you worry that grandma might have passed away?
For now, should we stay by Grandma's side?
Even if it postpones our escape, should we stay by her side a little longer?
Here.
I am okay, Yoon Bok. Thank you.
I'll take back what I said about you having to move away.
That is... I apologize for making such a request.
It's okay. While packing my bags, I also felt that this was the right thing to do.
Please don't change your words now.
That is... Then we'll have to ask for another difficult request.
For now... could you not move away?
Congratulations on getting released, Mom!
Don't be in pain, Grandma.
Thank you.
But where is Tae Hoon?
He was here until a moment ago.
Oppa! Oppa!
Tae Hoon!
Catchball! Yeah!
Oh, I caught it.
Why does she play that kind of game when she's a girl?
Girls can play those games, too.
You thought girls can't play ball, Tae Mi??
Girls should play with dolls or play "Mom", Grandma.
Or we play the piano or draw or ...
When I see her like that, she takes after her mom.
Yoon Bok's mom also never played with dolls or played "Mom".
And you take after your mom.
Since your mom was wearing diapers, she played while carrying a doll on her back
and a pot and ladle in her hands.
- Isn't there something to help with? - No.
When you make a full course meal for 8 people, you have to calculate the timing and every action and concentrate.
Not interfering is helping.
I see.
Move aside.
Unnie, I invited Dr. Jeong especially to dinner.
- Who? - Your Dr. Jeong.
Why?
I was curious. To be honest, someone with Dr. Jeong's background,
I can't believe he would be attracted to a 38-year-old with a child. - Really?
He either has another intention or there must be something wrong with him.
What intention could that be?
Maybe he mistakenly thinks that you'll be receiving a huge inheritance, for instance.
Did you tell him you rejected the inheritance?
I didn't.
You should have.
Those things need to be said first to prevent any issues later.
I'm not saying that's how Dr. Jeong is.
See if it needs more seasoning.

[Column] Where do migratory birds that lose their way go?
She's not Oppa's type...
- Didn't you say you went to Muryeong yesterday? - Yes.
But what do you have on that?
I got an interview with the mom and met with the police.
- But the mom's story lacks credibility, and... - The conclusion?
That... I took it out for now since I still lack conviction.
- Take your hands off of this now, and hand it over to Jang Hoon. - Pardon?
I don't need to hear that you did your best.
No matter what, you need to bring me the result.
I don't think you're ready yet for a special article. Be more clear about your thoughts.
The owner of the barbershop said that a prison officer he knew well
asked for a favor so he hired her. The officer said he would be the guarantor.
And when he tried her out, she was skilled with her hands,
hard-working, and quiet.
So when the owner retired, he turned the shop over to the ahjumma.
Do you still have that prison officer's contacts?
- Hello! - Ah, they're very pretty.
Thank you for inviting me.
- You know that I've been preparing since dawn, right? - Really?
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Look at my manners.
I'm not just saying this, but this is seriously tasty.
Shouldn't you be running a restaurant?
I want my husband to be the one who eats the best among his coworkers.
And I want to be the best cook among all my kids' friends' moms.
That's the attitude and tension I keep while making each and every meal.
- Isn't it hard? - I cooked a lot for Unnie, too, when we were in school.
- Right? - Yes.
But Unnie has no interest in that.
She doesn't know what's good no matter what I make. And there's nothing she can make either.
There are things I can make. I just have a different cooking philosophy than you do.
What's your cooking philosophy?
Making something simple quickly that takes the least bit of effort.
Dr. Jeong, to be honest, I invited you because I wanted to know if you know my
sister well and how serious you are about her.
You see, among all the doctors I know, there's no one who likes a woman like her.
You're not playing around with my naive sister, are you?
What do you mean by "a woman like her"?
A woman of age, who is poor and doesn't know anything but studying.
After hearing you, I now know why I came to like Soo Jin.
My father was a very very busy pediatrician.
If anyone calls, he was willing to travel to their home. If there were emergencies, he even worked during weekends.
And our house was on a top floor of the clinic, so he came up everyday for all the meals.
My father was happy because it was his calling but...
my mother was unhappy.
My mom liked to travel and adventures.
She couldn't even get her wish to travel the world before she died.
Oh my..
After being diagnosed with cancer, she felt it so unfair that she even considered getting a divorce.
Maybe that's the reason why I like that kind of woman.
Has years of life experience and not afraid of poverty.
A woman who has her own life.
Someone I could never make unhappy.
Dr. Jeong, our Yi Jin never went easy on any man who liked her sister.
But you're the first man who could go completely toe to toe with her.
Mom!
Doctor... don't be too nice to me.
It's a waste.
In this situation, there is nothing I can return.
What do you mean by "this situation"?
I have committed a crime.
I am on the run.
- Did anyone get hurt? -That's not the case.
Is it something you can handle?
I'm going to try.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Nothing.
I'm sorry.
As you like birds,
forests, and books
and like the Antarctic Continent,
I like your cold and complicated self.
That's all.
Kang Soo Jin Kim Hye Na
You don't know how many times I swallowed pills (i.e. tried to commit suicide) while bringing Hye Na up.
It was so hard that I wanted to die. What do you know about me to do this to me now?
I'm sorry. Mom will not understand it.
You or Yi Jin won't understand this situation, either. I don't understand it myself.
This kid, would you say that she is dead?
Someone might have taken her.
What do you know?
Just a minute!
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails,
and that's what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all things nice,
and that's what little girls are made of.
I'm back.
- You are home early. - Yes.
Did you eat?
Don't have the appetite.
Come over here, Tae Mi.
Yoon Bok, do you have any talent?
Umm...
Isn't there something you've learned to do?
Um... shampoo?
What is shampoo?
Washing hair. I have good fingers so I can wash hair thoroughly into the roots.
The Finger Grandma told me it's very refreshing.
- Yoon Bok, don't you go to kindergarten? - No.
Isn't she attending kindergarten?
Yoon Bok didn't want to go and
I don't see the necessity in early education.
You are raising the kid like a wild animal.
- Do you read? - Yes.
There is a rabbit who wants to run away.
Mom, I am going to run away.
If you run away then I will follow.
Because you are my cute child.
If Mom follows, I will go to the river and become a fish.
And swim away.
That's a book three-year-olds read!
It seems like she's reciting from memorization, not reading.
She turns the page before she finishes reading.
Get her another book.
You know, that's my book
That is... this has two final consonants.
She can't read double final consonants?
I couldn't read those either when I was seven.
Yi Jin, take Yoon Bok right away to the twins' kindergarten tomorrow.
- Mom, you can't go there until you take a test. - What kind of a test?
They look at their basic learning ability.
You have to be in the top 10 percentile of the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement.
And they look at creativity and personality.
There is no way that Soo Jin's child will fail that test.
Your sister has never failed any exam in her life.
First, she can't even read, so how can she take a test?
I am against it too.
I don't want anyone evaluating Yoon Bok's creativity or ability.
Soo Jin, in the midst of my tight schedules,
I put all my effort in your education.
Sent you to the best kindergarten, never missed a PTA meeting.
Instrument, art and sport, you did one from each category.
That was hard for me.
So, what do you think about the comfortable life you had later on?
Four years of full scholarship, there was no need for my support.
And when you studied abroad, you didn't have any problem with the language.
Mom, she is your daughter but Yoon Bok is not.
Let's just concentrate on our own daughters.
What matters is her own volition, so ask Yoon Bok.
How can a seven-year-old have her own volition?
The parent needs to make the call and do what they think is best.
Yoon Bok, do you want to do what Grandma wants or do what I think?
Can I be honest?
Sure.
I want to learn English and Piano too.
Yi Jin, prepare Yoon Bok for entrance test from tomorrow.
She didn't say much but was diligent and very skillful with her hands.
There was an incident where we met again.
She asked me a favor before she got released.
She wanted to donate all her money to an orphanage anonymously.
It was some orphanage in Chuncheon.
- You mean Jeong Ae Won? Yes, that's the one!
It was a name like that.
Did you want to attend kindergarten?
Isn't Tae Mi really pretty?
When girls are that pretty
it's because their moms brush their hair, sing to them and also read to them.
Everyday, their moms teach them how to be pretty.
Do you know what other kids called me?
Waste food garbage bin.
Do I still look like a garbage bin?
No
Before, my mom always told me that I was dirty so I thought I was a garbage bin.
But now I have a mom
who reads books to me and tells me stories.
I see. I will read a lot of books to you tomorrow.
Double final consonants. You can learn them in no time.
I can read all other letters.
I cannot read only the ones with double final consonants.
I know.
Let's sleep.
Good night, Mom.
Good night, Yoon Bok.
Are you sleeping? Can we talk in my room.
Honey, what are you doing?
I couldn't eat much since I was the hostess.
I can't stand this anymore.
I lived in my sister's shadow my whole life. Do I have to become a maid to her daughter now?
What do you mean a maid?
Department stores..beauty salon...
kindergarten too. Now isn't that slavery?
You are already a slave to your own son and daughter.
What I can stand the least is that our Tae Mi and Tae Hoon are going through exactly what I went through.
When Yoon Bok appeared, Mom's lost her interests in our kids.
Before, Mom's eyes were full of love when she looked at our kids, but
now, honey, she looks at them as though they are kids next door or something.
But honestly, you are most upset at the fact
that if that girl gets the inheritance, then your Chairman position would be gone.
Isn't that it?
But truthfully, I can't believe she's Unnie's daughter.
They have zero resemblance.
Go and get the family relations certificate.
Why is it so important whether she is her biological daughter or not?
You just need to find out whether she is a legal heir or not.
I can get my sister's family relations certificate?
You just need a power of attorney.
Looking for a child
Where did you get this?
I went to Muryeong.
Could you explain this.. according to 5W1H, so a reporter can understand?
That person who abandoned Soo Jin must have had a reason for doing so.
But when I think of how my child had been abandoned then,
I do not want to attempt to understand her situation.
My child's body was full of scars and wounds.
She was tied and locked so she couldn't run away..
That's why she took Hye Na?
This is child abduction -- kidnapping.
Even if you did with good intention,
preventing a child from getting a legal guardian's protection is illegal.
You're right.
You shouldn't have done it this way, Unnie.
Have you thought of what's going to happen when you get caught?
Your life will be over.
And our mom? What do you think the news will say?
That a well established actress Ms. C's daughter, Kang Soo Jin, has kidnapped a child?
What about Yi Jin's husband? Won't there be any consequences when he's a prosecutor?
And what about me? I've lost the chance to write a special feature article for the first time,
because of you.
When someone asks me about your case, I can't say I knew nothing.
Because I personally got this flier from the investigator in charge.
I'm sorry, Hyeon Jin.
This isn't something that can be set straight with a "sorry", Unnie.
I really, really wanted to become a reporter, so much.
Even I can't get sleep, eat, or come home, I love this work.
What would happen
when the fact that I couldn't write an article about this or report it gets revealed?
And I...
I've met the girls' mom.
She looked miserable. She looked miserable and victimized.
Unnie, are you sure? That you can become a better mom than her?
Are you sure that that woman will not become a good mom in the future?
Yoon Bok..
She died then. How can you become a good mom when a child is dead?
The police don't think the child is dead though. They think someone might have kidnapped her!
They are still investigating this. You should've just reported to the police!
I did. The police didn't make a move until Yoon Bok died.
Leave, Unnie. As soon as possible.
I agonized over this dozens of times. Should I advise you to turn yourself in or should I report you to the police?
I don't even know why I'm not able to report it to the police.
Run away as far as possible, Unnie.
You can never get caught. You know that, right?
Actress Cha Yeong Sin's house
There was a reason why I got to see her again.
She asked me a favor before she got released.
That she wanted to donate the sum she had saved up.
Anonymously. She asked to send it to an orphanage in Chuncheon...
Jeong Ae Won?
Yes, correct.
I told you to cover it up. Why did you bother to meet a jailer?
I thought Soo Jin wanted to know.
About what?
Soo Jin's biological mother. Even though she left Soo Jun, she never abandoned Soo Jin for real.
Abandoning is abandoning. Did you think there won't be any story to it?
But still... For Soo Jin-
- Who do you work for? - Pardon?
You just need to go look into things I want to know.
Whenever Soo Jin ran away, she went to Jeong Ae Won.
To find out whether that woman possibly had came back or not.
Not even for a second has she never not expected the woman, who abandoned her.
Soo Jin must have known all along, without realizing it.
That's what I think.
Don't look into it any further. There's nothing I want to know.
You startled me.
Ahjussi, I'm sorry but
you promised me the passport in a week.
Can you get it sooner?
You said you were going to stay here for a bit.
Didn't you promise that to your mom?
I have a problem.
I can't give it to you. I won't be able to give it to you in the future either.
If I give that passport to you, you will leave.
If you leave, your mom will break like a dry branch.
I can't get it for you.
For you, Ahjussi, me leaving while Mom is sick like this is a worst case scenario.
Have you ever thought there could be a worse problem?
Soo Jin. What is up?
Tell me. You can tell me at least.
It's better you don't know.
How can I help you then?
Ahjussi.
Have you ever got chased by the police?
For a felony?
Oh, Unnie, you are here.
Yeah, what is it?
I filled in a kindergarten application. Do you have your stamp?
In my drawer.
Alright.
By the way, what have you two been talking?
A secret conversation.
Is it about the will?
Get it from the lawyer later.
Read
Read it.
Say "Read." "Read." (sounds like "ilk" or "ik" in Korean)
Where did the rieul (ㄹ) go?
What?
I CAN READ. There is the rieul.
Read
Where is the giyeok (ㄱ) then?
I CAN... R..EA..D...
I don't think there's a giyeok though.
No, listen carefully.
You don't hear the giyeok because we say it fast.
I can read.
Oh my, children. You are studying hard.
Power of Attorney
I will leave this place in a couple of days.
Where will you go?
I haven't decided yet.
I just feel I should leave because something bad can't happen while I stay here.
What are you going to tell your mom?
I will tell her before dinner.
It's been tough because of me, hasn't it?
Hah. What's tough?
Because I thought you can never leave her, I acted childish.
I can never leave her.. Do you know something?
No. I don't.
That's good... You shouldn't know.
I'll take my leave.
- Soo Jin. -Yes?
You might not return this time.
So, I'm going to feel bad if I didn't give you this.
What is that?
It's an audio recording. About your birth mother.
I told you that I didn't even want to think about her.
- I will leave it here. - I'm not interested.
A certification of family relations, please. And this is the Power to Attorney.
Wait for me!
Hey! Wait for me!
Take me with you!
They are so funny. Tae Mi is trying to act like the elder sister.
And Yoon Bok listens to Tae Mi so well.
I wish they got to know each other earlier than this.
I have something to tell you.
People in my profession can't sleep well because they're too sensitive.
So some take pills and some get injections.
But I never felt the need for it after I brought you here.
That's why I even took you to the shootings with me.
I was fascinated how well I could sleep when I had Yoon Bok next to me in the hospital.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
I'm listening.
Something came up and it seems that
tomorrow... I...
Mom.
[Viki Ver] tvN E08 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
- Look at me. - Wow.
Unnie, have a word with me.
She wasn't your daughter legally.
You didn't give birth to her, did you?
Legally, she wasn't your daughter.
You didn't give birth to her, did you?
Yi Jin, I'm going to leave soon.
I'm truly sorry to leave Mom in your hands again.
But this is the life I chose.
I know I was a burden to the family in many ways, and I was no help to you.
But I won't demand any part of the family inheritance.
I wish that you would use my part of the inheritance to set up a good welfare foundation.
I know I have no say in what you want to do with your life.
But when will you leave? -Day after tomorrow.
That soon?
That's how it turned out.
Tell me if there's anything I can do. Preparations must be hectic with the child and all.
Mr Deputy Head.
You scared me! What are you doing here?
I know it's impertinent, but I just couldn't get through to you, so I came here.
Last time, you said you liked single malts, so I prepared..
Why don't you check if it's the right one...
What's the matter?
I was wondering if I could get the item I mentioned last time as soon as possible.
Why?
Everyone else is waiting for their turn. What makes you so impatient?
Even in emergency wards these days, they treat the most critical patients first
rather than according to the order of arrival.
How critical is it?
Mr Deputy Head!
Chicken [written - "dalk", pronounced - "dak"] No [written - "eops", pronounced - "eop"] "Rieul" (ㄹ) is silent in "chicken" and "siot" (ㅅ) is silent in "no", right?
True.
How can you tell which consonant, the first one or the second one,
should be silent when you see a syllable with double final consonants for the very first time?
It's difficult, right?
Yoon Bok, it's okay if you don't sit for the exam.
Why?
Because you won't be able to go to kindergarten here anyway. We have to leave soon.
- When? - Day after tomorrow.
You want to sit for the exam?
I studied a lot.
And Unnie Tae Mi said she'll come to see me.
Tae Mi is older than you?
Tae Mi's birthday is in May and mine is in December.
And we are family rather than friends. So she wanted me to call her Unnie.
I never knew you could have so many members in a family.
I'm happy because there are so many.
So, can't we stay like this till tomorrow?
We'll get it in three days.
He said he'll produce it as soon as possible.
Me? I'm okay, I'm okay.
Thank you, Ahjussi.
Did you tell your mom?
Not yet.
Have you listened to the audio recording?
I think I woke up Yoon Bok. I'm hanging up.
Grandma! You shouldn't sleep here.
Hurry and wake up!
I need to go to the loo.
What's all this?
Missing Child
You shouldn't take down important fliers like this. They're looking for a child!
I know that child.
If you do this, we can't find the child.
I saw her.
You took down all the fliers!
I saw someone taking her away.
At a bus stop near the sea.
Who was it? When?
She's a bitch.
She probably took the child because she could never give birth to one.
Was she taken by someone she knows?
It was her teacher.
She was in bad shape when she first came.
She won't speak or eat, and she was not in her right mind.
Some people are dead even though they are alive, you know?
But one day she suddenly became all better.
It was like you connected the TV to the power. She started eating.
She exercised diligently, and she worked the hardest.
People used to say that she became like that after watching some TV program.
Do you remember what kind of a program it was?
Some documentary about an actress came out.
Cha Yeong Sin was her name.
She acted in dramas. -You mean "Actress Cha Yeong Sin's Special Escort"?
Yes, yes. That's the one.
Do you remember... what happened that day?
Soo Jin, following those birds, shall we,
together, walk into the sea step by step?
I don't want to.
You go in by yourself. I want to live.
Then, Soo Jin, you must do as Mom tells you.
What?
Forget everything. You must not remember anything.
About what?
This seashore, the birds, the house we used to live in, ...
and what happened yesterday.
And... Mom...
Pretty.
Do I look similar to other kids?
No. You are much prettier than other kids.
That's because you're my mom.
- Do you think you will do well today? - Yes.
Listen to Auntie, okay?
Okay. But where are you going, Mom?
Well...
I have something that I must do before we leave.
Let's go.
Just a second, Auntie.
Do you need help?
No. I can do it by myself.
How can a seven-year-old clip her own fingernails?
Mom taught me.
She said friends don't like kids with dirty fingernails, so I must know how to do it myself.
Were you going to leave without telling me anything?
At first, I thought you beat me.
Next, I thought you tried to kill me.
But ...
all the memories came back.
What?
Your words telling me to forget everything, the seashore...
- the birds... - This seashore, the birds...
- The house we used to live in. - The house we used to live in.
- What happened yesterday. - What happened yesterday.
- And... - And...
Mom...
Mom's face.
What had happened?
Where was the house we used to live in and what was the thing that "happened yesterday"?
I...
killed a person.
A beast-like man. I killed him.
No, go away!
Why did I have you?
I was only 19 years old.
My father, grandmother and aunt...
Everyone said I shouldn't have gave a birth to you.
But l liked the feel of you inside my womb.
After I had you, I never felt lonely even once.
At home, Father nagged me so much.
So when you were 100 days old, I left home.
I stayed with friends, at single mother facilities,
and even lived in a vinyl greenhouse.
Honestly, it was really hard.
I didn't know anything about how to raise a baby.
♪ Ring ring, please move aside. A bicycle is coming through, ring ring ring. ♪
I just took you everywhere I went.
So I was tearfully grateful
to that bastard who gave us a normal life of
dinners with TV.
Because there was no one in the world who had given us those things before.
He hit me when he was drunk. But nothing in the world is for free.
But when you got beaten by him
and fell down the stairs,
I saw red.
I fell from the stairs, too.
Soo Jin!
Mom, it hurts so much!
I took you and left the house right away.
But I was caught and got beaten harshly.
I realized that we could get killed that way.
I had to give my pinky finger to promise him never to leave again.
And I was determined to make it end.
I will never be put in this situation again.
Killing that man... I don't regret it.
Because if I hadn't, the next to die would have been you and me.
If there is one thing I regret, ...
it's that I couldn't kill him sooner.
Had I done it,
I could have not exposed you to that ugly sight.
After that, I didn't know what to do.
There was no way I wouldn't have been caught because I killed him whichever way I could and got out.
Would it be better that I hold you tightly and walk into the sea?
I didn't think I would be even scared if I were with you.
It was not like leaving you behind.
But I don't want to. You go in by yourself.
I want to live.
I died that day.
One step at a time.
But you had to live.
I didn't abandon you.
I sent you ...
out of ...
my shameful life.
Because I wanted my child to fly away to another life.
I think I might have known from the start.
Even if it took a very, very long time,
she would come back for me some day.
Some day, without fail.
Why do you want to attend our kindergarten?
Unnie Tae Mi is really pretty.
She sings well and plays the piano well, too.
I feel that I will become like her if I attend here.
What kind of person is your mother?
My mom...
Does Ms. Cha Yeong Sin still live in that house on top of the hill?
Of course. For quite a long time now.
₩1500.
This is my mom at the age of 38.
She is a great cook and she teaches me well about letters with two final consonants.
Her curried rice is very tasty.
My mom at the age of 28 is a bird doctor.
There is no one who knows about birds better than my mom.
She knows birds just by their cries and also explains how birds can fly.
My mom said when she was 18, she wanted to leave for a faraway place.
So she read a lot of books.
She told me that each book has a door connected to it, but I think that is a lie.
My mom at the age of 8 met her current mom.
You call Mom's Mom maternal grandmother. My maternal grandmother loves my mom very much.
When my mom was even littler, her mom who gave birth to her abandoned her.
Mom told me that story.
Because...
she wanted to teach me that a child can live even if her mother abandons her.
She wanted to teach me even such a child can become a mom later.
The moment I saw you on TV, like someone started to push me from behind all of a sudden.
I started to feel that I must live.
I started eating, exercising and working.
Maybe ...
because I might have had to become a mother again.
Perhaps
because I might be needed.
With that thought,
for 27 years
I cut hair here.
And one day, you appeared, holding Yoon Bok's hand.
You and your child...
I must have ended up
living here so that I could warmly feed you and make you sleep
in my bosom for a few days.
I have no regrets.
Now, it will be okay for me to leave, right?
It will be okay for me, too, to move onto another life, right?
Seoul 165 km; Seojong Cheongpyeong 1 km
Then, will we go to kindergarten with her from now on?
Yes. She failed the gifted child assessment test,
but she was the first to pass because of her originality and nice personality.
Why did they let me pass? Did I seem similar to other kids?
No, because you were too different from other kids.
That's what people call "special".
- Be careful. - Okay.
Thank you.
Hye Na!
Mom...

Where is my Hye Na? Give her back to me now!
We were all deceived by Unnie.
She was not Unnie's daughter.
Who? Yoon Bok?
I saw it all. She called her "my teacher," "my teacher."
Where is that place?
It was so hard for me when all I wanted was to become happy like other people.
I'll do better. Mom needs you.
I think I must go now.
Mom, good bye.
