- Episode 9 -

Oppa, I found Hye Na.

Mom...

Mom?

Kim Hye Na! Hye Na!

Hye Na!

You guys, go inside.

Kim Hye Na!

Kim Hye Na!

Hye Na!

Where is she?

I saw her go inside.

Where is my daughter Hyena?

Please let's just talk.

You..

you're Kang Soo Jin aren't you?

The woman who stole my daughter.

You have something to say to me?

You stole a perfectly fine child. How dare you have something to say to me?

Give me Hye Na back right now. Otherwise I'll report you to the police.

Hye Na's mother, I don't know what your situation is but..

Catch your breath and let's talk. Have a seat.

Hye Na! It's mom. Mom is here.

We have to go home now. Come out quickly.

You know I hate hide and seek.

Hye Na.

Are you there? You're here, aren't you?

- Come out. I said I'm here.

Let us adults talk.

Get out of my way.

- Get out of there! - Hye Na's mother.

The child must be shocked as well. If you scream like that, do you think she'd come out?

You need to catch your breath first before the child calms down and comes out.

Come, have a cup of coffee or something.

Mom, we've all been fooled by Unnie.

- What are you talking about? - The girl, she wasn't her daughter.

Who? Yoon Bok?

Her name wasn't even Yoon Bok.

Her mother came all the way here just to find her.

So? What did the child do?

She ran away, I didn't see if she was caught.

If she was chased like, that then why are you here?

I went after her.

Up until now I was looking for her everywhere in this neighborhood.

What about Soo Jin?

I don't know, she turned her phone off.

Call Hyeon Jin and Jae Beom.

And tell Lawyer Seong Deok to come.

Were you raising her on your own?

It must be hard. Such a pretty girl like you on her own.

How about the father. Had you broken up with the father?

Hye Na's father was a tall and handsome man.

I really liked him a lot.

So I was so overjoyed when Hye Na was born.

Oppa.

Yeah.

Our baby. She's so beautiful, isn't she?

Yeah.

Here.

No. So that you can buy clothes and diapers for the baby.

You should've come without this.

I was a little late getting the money.

Thanks. Don't worry, Oppa.

I'll save and work hard to earn money to raise our Hye Na well.

Why is the baby crying like that?

I know right. I'm sure I fed her earlier.

Oppa would you like to hold her?

No..

That's okay.

Even if Hye Na hadn't cried like that..

Even if Hye Na was a bit cuter..

Would Oppa have left us like that?

I wanted to become happy.

I wanted to become happy just like everybody else.

Mom.

Mom.

- Mom? - Ah seriously stop calling me!

No matter how quietly you keep saying 'Mom, Mom.' Do you know how much I hate hearing that?

What? Why did you call me?

I said why did you call me?

Because I'm hungry.

Ah seriously.

But to tell the truth, it was very hard for me.

Becoming Hye Na's mother.

I'm sorry, Hye Na.

In any case I..

don't think I can become a good mother.

19, 20, 21..

22..23

Mothers who had ever thought of killing herself when she has a child will know this.

How scary the eyes of their own child can be.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing, Mom?

I'm counting how many are left.

I have to go to the bathroom.

You know Mom.

If you die and don't come back mum then who will come look after me?

Who will come to you?

I told you.

There's only the two of us left now.

If I'm gone you have nobody. That's why..

You have to be a good girl.

Am I a bad girl?

Go sleep since Mom has a headache.

Should I make you cafe latte since you have a headache, Mom?

Do you have milk? And sugar?

Our Hye Na likes the cafe latte I make.

How hard must have it been by yourself without anyone to help.

There was just one person who helped me.

Are you kidding? How can we go back to the restroom after coming here with the heavy bag?

All the way to the basement floor.

I said go alone or hold it in.

Mom.

How old are you still to not be able to go to the restroom by yourself?

Let's go to the restroom.

Thank you.

Let's go.

He wasn't a warmhearted man but,

he knew what a woman needed.

I smiled like that for the first time after having Hye Na.

That's so cool!

Harder!`

Blow harder!

I had the thought of how good would it be if Hye Na was this man's child.

How incredible Hye Na.

Hye Na. It was really fun that time right?

I'll make the cafe latte you like Hye Na. Make it sweet.

Mom is sorry.

I didn't take enough care of you because I was too busy right?

Mom will do better.

On your birthday, we'll fry pork cutlet and call your friends over,

and when you go on picnics,

I won't forget to make you kimbap.

In the morning, I'll brush your hair pretty,

and also Jjing! We have to buy a new Jjing.

Mom bought you Jjing that you liked for you to not get bored when alone.

Come on out. We need to go home now.

Let's go. I'll buy you cafe latte.

Mom.

Did you not know that children don't grow if they drink coffee?

Really? Then should we just go?

And also, Jjing.

Yea, Jjing! Let's buy a new Jjing.

Let's buy a new house for Jjing too.

Do you remember the day you bought me Jjing?

If I buy you that,

will you be able to be alone?

It's a really important event for Mom.

This time, uncle might ask to marry me or even maybe, you could get a younger sibling.

We're coming back after three nights so you can stay alone right?

If it's scary, sleep with the tv on.

Mom, you are coming back right?

Were you worried Mom won't come back?

Since it's all planned already, send us off with a smile.

Okay.

So nice of you.

Our mom is pretty right?

She looks happy?

I wish we can go inside that bag too.

Right?

Mom, did you arrive safely?

Yeah.

Did you get on a plane too?

Yeah. I screamed without knowing when the plane went up.

That big thing actually flew.

What did you do?

I played with Jjing.

Jjing?

The hamster's name is Jjing.

- Mom. - Yeah.

How's the beach? Is it pretty?

It's really blue and really wide.

We played in the sand and swam.

We also watched the sunset for a long time.

Hye Na, you know,

I am

really happy.

I'm glad, Mom.

I always wanted to be happy.

- I felt like now I'm finally happy. - Yes.

You like it if mom is happy right?

I'm also happy if you're happy Mom.

Thanks.

But, Mom,

are you not happy when you're with me?

I have to hang up now. International phone calls are so expensive.

Mom will call again later.

When?

Tomorrow?

Nevermind, Mom.

But, Mom. We can't buy a new Jjing.

Jjing died.

I'm going to buy you a hamster cuter than Jjing.

Should we buy a cat? You like cats.

Let's go home.

Mom needs you.

Uncle is waiting for you too.

Mom, Uncle, and you, let's all become one family again, okay?

But, Mom. Hye Na also died.

Hye Na also

died.

Hye Na can't go back home anymore.

What are you saying Hye Na? You're right here.

You are Hye Na.

My name is Yoon Bok, Kim Yoon Bok.

I live in Grandma's house with Mom.

We are going to leave for a faraway place.

Don't play around. You know you're Hye Na.

You are the daughter I gave birth to.

You...

don''t you like Mom?

Do you hate to see your mom becoming happy?

I neither like or dislike you because you're not my mom any more.

Whether you become happy or unhappy,

I can't do anything about it.

Because I'm not your daughter any more.

Just a minute!

That child... you can have her. I don't need her anyway.

First, you have to become okay.

You have to be able to live fine, regardless of the child. After that...

Frankly, I think you're a strange person.

That you took a child who has nothing to do with you and came all this way...

What will happen to you if I report you to the police?

You have thought about that, right?

Everyday, I think about

what will happen if I get caught.

I am very afraid.

It will become an unrecoverable wound to Hye Na, too.

But I made up my mind when I found Hye Na in the garbage bag.

If she had been left there, Hye Na would have died before the following morning.

Hye Na was stoically accepting the situation.

Without screaming or crying.

She always upsets me in that way.

No matter how much I hit her, she comes back and asks me to hug her.

Do you know how creepy that is?

Do you know how hateful it is to become the worst mother in the world?

I feel so sorry for you.

Hye Na loved you dearly and to the very end, you didn't know.

Good luck. As for me, I'm going to forget everything.

as if I had never given a birth,

just like I had a bad dream.

I've definitely warned you.

Don't even think about returning her later because it's hard on you.

I

will absolutely not take her back.

Even though I'm lacking, I will cherish her and take care of her to the best of my abilities.

Thank you for letting Hye Na go.

If you saw something, you have to tell us.

After sleeping in this warm place and finishing your meal, what are we going to do if you still don't tell us anything?

Do you have candy?

I can't give it to you.

- Why not? - Because you're telling us nothing.

Grandma, we're asking you whether this is the kid you saw.

Yes.

- What is her name? - I don't know.

Then how do you know?

She's the kid who takes around a mouse with her.

Even when she went hungry, she fed that mouse very diligently.

And she also gave me candy.

She was the only kid who gave me candy.

And how could I not know her?

What was she wearing, like what she looked like?

She was wearing a hat. But I can't remember her clothes.

Grandma, you drink coffee, right? Should I give you some coffee?

- Yes. - Sweetly made one.

It's working, right? It's in good working order and filled up with gas.

I will borrow it just for a few days.

But what are you delivering? Are you going camping?

It's, sort of, like both.

What kind of delivery is it?

Something that must not be spoiled.

That day, it snowed a lot.

That's right. It snowed a lot.

She held the teacher's hand and she looked like a boy.

Still, you can't fool my eyes.

How did you know that the person was a teacher?

Because she kept calling her "my teacher," "my teacher".

The teacher bought her meals

and even clipped her fingernails. I've seen it myself.

Where did you say the place was?

A bus stop.

Which bus stop?

Seaside Resting Area

Seaside Resting Area bus stop.

Did they take a bus?

Yes.

What was the bus number?

That... I can't remember.

Did you see the child's face? Did she appear she was being taken against her will or ...?

I thought what a relief.

"She will never go hungry again."

"She will never return here again."

Yoon Bok.

Mom.

You don't have to smile.

It's okay to cry.

Let's cry.

♪ I can’t hide it, I’m alone in fear ♪

♪ After the cold wind blows ♪

♪ We will remain as beautiful ♪

♪ Our memories and even our pain will shine. ♪

What is your name?

Kim Yoon Bok

I'm your grandma.

Grandma.

I didn't know that in this world a grandma this pretty existed.

♪ Prayers that you had to swallow ♪

Grandma wants to get healthy soon,

And put on makeup and dress up,

And show Yoon Bok how I look with a shiny jewel on.

Yoon Bok can't remember Grandma as just being sick.

Yes.

♪ I’ll hold you when you’re broken ♪

♪ For sure I'll hold you once again ♪

Mom asked to send Yoon Bok upstairs to her room.

Could you come over here and zip up the zipper.

[Viki Ver] tvN E09 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What do you think about the clothes?

It's very, very pretty. You look like a queen.

You think so?

But why did you wear this kind of clothes, Grandma?

Are you going somewhere?

I've played many roles throughout my life.

As Ophelia when I was young and didn't know anything.

As Media when I was crazy after being betrayed by a man.

But tonight, I think I will be playing a role more difficult than any of these.

Which role is it?

Demeter. A woman who loses a daughter she loves so much.

Does that person not find her daughter at the end?

I wonder. I feel like the Demeter I'm playing tonight,

Will lose her daughter Persephone forever.

Yoon Bok.

What is your real name?

Hye Na. It's Kim Hye Na, Grandma.

Aren't I not your grandmother, Hye Na?

Please forgive my mom.

The reason my mom kidnapped me and lied,

Is all because of me. It's my fault.

I was really happy,

When I thought I was being given a granddaughter so small and pretty like you.

I'm sorry.

I think I have to take back my affections for you.

Since I'm a person facing death,

I can't love so many people at once.

Instead, I'll give this to you.

This is a necklace my mother gave me.

It brought me great fortune.

I was wearing this when I first met Soo Jin.

And I feel like you might need a lot of luck.

Would Soo Jin like to talk first.

Yoon Bok

is not my child.

She was my student who was being abused by her mother.

I thought she might die if I just left her be.

That's why I brought her.

I wasn't trying to fool you.

What do you mean you weren't trying to fool us?

Are you thinking about Mom at all? How much did Mom love her?

But she's suddenly losing that granddaughter she loved so dearly.

Do you not know how hurt people like Mom who love deeply get?

I'm sorry, Mom.

Sorry, Yi Jin.

I was really thankful and sorry for Mom treating Yoon Bok so preciously.

But,... I was honestly not sure what to do myself.

So, did you meet the mom? The birth mother seemed to follow her here.

The child's mother came today.

She decided to give up Yoon Bok and went back home.

That can't be. How can a mom give up their own child?

Do you think it's that easy to give up your own child?

Even though she claims to give her up, she can change her mind anytime.

It's not like you got a legal stamp that she'll give up her child.

So what are you planning to do from now on, Soo Jin.

We're planning on leaving tomorrow,

To Iceland.

It's because I think the documents will be ready by tomorrow.

If you push this through, we're going to have to live with a bomb in our hands.

Let's not even talk about Mom's name going up and down on the top searched list once this situation is revealed.

You know how my husband is rUnnieng for chief prosecutor right?

Becoming a chief prosecutor isn't all about skills.

Yourself and your family's values, morality,

Social contribution all project onto the results.

That's how you become the assistant prosecutor general, district director, and then the Public Prosecutor General.

Have you ever seen a prosecutor general with a sister-in-law who's a kidnapper?

So what are your thoughts, Yi Jin.

We need to give back the child for now.

After we give her back, we need to give the mother some money and make her shut up for life.

There's no other way other than that.

At first, I had the same thought as Yi Jin.

If sister's situation gets revealed,

my position at work will become difficult as someone who covered that news.

You knew about this too? You covered this news topic?

I got angry at Soo Jin a lot too.

But, I thought about it in her position,

And the person to be in a more difficult position than anyone if something goes wrong was going to be Soo Jin.

Unnie almost committed social suicide to carry this out.

I also saw the pictures of the child's injuries from abuse.

I think it is true that Yook Bok could have died.

But she is neither our child nor Unnie Soo Jin's.

Protecting her is her mom's job and I'm trying to protect my children now.

Unnie, frankly aren't you sorry toward my children?

Unnie, you tried to send her to the kindergarten where my children attend.

If it is discovered that she is a kidnapped child, what will become of my children's reputation?

How about the inner wounds my children will suffer?

I'm sorry, Yi Jin.

Everything you say is correct.

Indeed, Yoon Bok will be very sorry, too.

Because she really likes Tae Hoon and Tae Mi.

She said that she was so happy to have so many family members even if for a short time,

that she wanted to spend even a few days like this even though it might not be right.

Anyway, I support Unnie Soo Jin's choice.

It's true that it will become really hard if she gets caught.

But if there is even the slightest chance not to get caught, I want to help her.

What if you get fired, doing that? Will you be able to say the same thing at that time?

I too have thought about it in many ways.

Even in the worst case scenario when I get fired, still I will not die.

And before getting fired, I will try to overcome it on my own, no matter what I have to try.

Like digging into Unnie Soo Jin's case and writing a special feature article about child abuse.

Thank you so much, Hyeon Jin. I'll be more cautious.

I will respect Soo Jin's choice, too.

But as the matriarch who has to protect all my family,

if Soo Jin keeps insisting to us

about following a dangerous path,

I have no choice but to remove Soo Jin from our family.

Soo Jin, if you won't give up that child to the end,

then I will give you up. You are no longer my daughter.

Lawyer Sang Deok will explain to you about the vacation of adoption procedure.

- Mom! - Mom!

Vacation of adoption means severing the relationship

between the adoptive parent and child for cause.

If the adoptive parent and child are in agreement,

then you can simply prepare the requisite papers and file with the City Hall.

I have brought them here.

You must complete the process before Soo Jin is convicted

to minimize the harmful effects on the family members.

Actually, I got very angry.

Because I didn't think Soo Jin would ever choose our family over that child.

But what I'm most angry about

is the fact that facing such a difficult and dangerous situation,

the only thing you wanted from me

was money.

You didn't ask me what you should do.

To me, who have raised you this far, even though you might not have been my biological daughter...

If my daughter in such an exigency cannot think of me for anything other than money

what worth does such a mother have?

I am sorry about not consulting you sooner.

I thought that it was something I had to manage by myself.

I didn't want to share that dangerous burden with the family members.

But Mom,

if you felt that you were worthless to me,

that is truly a misunderstanding.

Never before had I thought so much about you than now.

If it hadn't been for you, who embraced me with your heart even when you were not my birth mother,

if it hadn't been for you, who gave me the conviction that this kind of love was possible,

I could not have mustered up the courage to take that child with me.

I am sorry for not being a better daughter.

But

I cannot give up Yoon Bok.

Please forgive me.

That's enough for today. I am too tired.

Ask Lawyer Sang Deok to explain the details to you and fill up the paperwork and give it to him.

And leave early tomorrow morning. There's no need to bother to say good-bye.

Because I don't think I can get up early.

Noonim, this is not right!

After sending away Soo Jin like this,

you'll be the first to break down. You know that better than anybody else.

This is not what you want, Noonim.

Jae Beom, you're wrong. I won't break down so easily.

Until now, I considered Soo Jin a child.

So I behaved like a little child's mom.

Shall we say this incident made me realize that I, too, need to grow up as a mother?

When Soo Jin came to get a child of her own in that manner,

I should let her go her way in all respects.

Dress Yoon Bok warmly before you take her.

What did Grandma say to you earlier?

She gave me a necklace.

But this is the necklace Grandma's mom gave her.

A good luck necklace.

So she gave it to you.

She said I would need a lot of good luck.

Can I have it?

Of course.

This is very precious to Grandma but I guess she wanted to give it to you.

What did Grandma say to you?

Oh, just that we should get up early tomorrow morning and have a safe trip.

I'm sleepy, Mom.

Okay. Since we have to leave early, let's go to sleep early.

- Mom. - Hmm?

Good night.

Yes, good night to you too.

Wait a minute. Rewind it a little bit please.

Here. Stop.

Let me take a look.

Clothes that make me look like a boy when I wear it.

My lucky necklace.

Fried rice that gets done when I pull a string.

I'll return this.

Since I've memorized it all.

The sound of paper money crinkling.

A big and white feather.

This is something important to Mom.

And,

my 38 years old Mom.

Things that I like.

Mom.

Bye.

Moah Mart

Pass by Moah Mart.

Pass by Hotel Cleaning.

And when you pass by the playground.

Sam Hwa Barber Shop.

Mom. I think I have to go now.

Since you can't break up with your family because of me.

I liked being Yoon Bok.

I love you as much as to the moon and back to the earth, Mom.

I want to see you already.

Subway entrance

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok!

Hotel Cleaning

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok.

Hye Na!

Hye Na didn't fall into the ocean.

I know.

The woman named Kang Soo Jin took her right?

If Yoon Bok is returning to the mother that abandoned her,

I don't have the right to become a mom.

I made tears come out of my daughter's eyes. Do you think I kicked her out?

I got a call from Hye Na's mom. She asked me to write an article saying the kidnapper is actress Cha Yeong Sin's daughter.

I think the police came to the house.

You're Kang Soo Jin right? I see you've taken the child with good intentions,

Your only way out is turning yourself in.

Cheongnyangni Station.

Yoon Bok knows Cheongnyangni Station?

We came in that way when we came to Seoul.

Uncle.
