Jae Beom. Take the next plane back.

Soo Jin has come home.

You're here.

How are you?

I'm so surprised that I can't say anything.

Why don't you say something?

Have you been well?

How have you been doing all this time?

The coat I bought you 10 years ago... You're still wearing it.

I have a request.

Then it must be major.

I need money.

How much?

Ten million won.

Are you ill?

No.

Did you cause an accident?

You didn't even take 10,000 won from me after becoming an adult.

Even if we had a meal together, you would pay for it.

What happened?

What could have happened that you came to me to borrow money?

Just once...

Can't you just lend me the money without asking about anything?

Should I give you cash or transfer it electronically?

In cash, please.

I have a condition.

You must see me at least ten times.

I'll give you 1 million won every time we meet. What do you think?

Sam Hwa Barber Shop

This is scary. Save me.

My mom will come.

She's not the type of person to not come.

Where are you living?

Ohh... the jjimjilbang.( Sauna.)

Do you know the jjimjilbang? I really like it.

You don't have a house?

She says we'll have one soon.

But, what is that sound here?

Clink clink...

- Hello - Hello. Please sit there.

Make an appointment for chemotherapy.

I feel like I can do it all of a sudden.

When can I know if surgery is possible?

I was waiting.

I know.

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok?

Yoon Bok.

Are you surprised?

Mom!

What is it, Hye Na?

Have you ever seen a towel this nice before?

Where has she been?

Let's have dinner together tomorrow.

Don't ask her where she has been.

Don't ask her why she came, why she had left, nor what she's going to do in the future.

Also, you, don't tell her about my cancer.

What should I talk about? The weather? Politics?

Or about celebrities as if we are strangers?

Talk about how you got married,

how you almost died while having twins,

how strange your mother-in-law is.

Also... isn't your cat cute?

Also, how you almost got divorced last year.

Hey! Pipe down!

Wasn't the barber ahjumma scary?

What would be scary?

When I was little, kids used to be really afraid of her.

That ahjumma, she's missing a pinky finger.

Did you see?

For real?

There's a rumor that she lost her finger while in prison.

There's another rumor that she killed someone.

When I was younger, the boys would dare each other

to go to the barber and run out after yelling "murderer". They played that game yelling.

On my way home, I had to always pass that barber.

When I would see the barber sign from far away,

I would be so scared that I'd start to run.

Poor ahjumma.

Recipient: Song Ye Eun

Ms. Ye Eun, I hope that I do not have to send this letter to you.

Because if it doesn't go according to plan and Hye-na and I are not able to leave the country safely,

only then will I send this letter to you.

What I am most worried about now, rather than being arrested for kidnapping,

is Hye Na going back to her mom and that man because things went wrong.

Please look through the materials I have sent,

and I ask your help so that Hye Na does not go back to those people.

I think there is no one better than you who would be fit for this task.

Even if you report me to the police, I won't resent you.

Please deal with this as you think is right.

1st Grade; Classroom 3; Number:9; Name: Kim Hye Na

Come up.

Tenants tend to worry about security in a multiple unit building.

You don't need to worry about that at all here.

As you can see, the police station is right in front of you.

Police

Excuse me, is there no other place than here?

Come in.

Look around.

By a short-term, what do you mean?

Somewhere between 15 days to 2 months.

Not even 3 months, but 1 or 2 months?

I will pay 2 months' rent in advance.

From the landlord's perspective, that's not possible.

Because if the wallpapers or flooring become messy after only a 2-month term, then it will be a headache.

You even have a kid.

You should rather look into a goshiwon. (Building with tiny studios rented out usually to students studying to pass exams).

You'll get the same answer from any other broker.

"To Oh Cheol who is in heaven. Oh Cheol, I'm Kim Hye Na of 1st grade, Class 3."

"What is the place where you are now? Aren't you hurting any more..."

"I, too, want to go there."

Teacher Soo Jin, I have received your letter.

I pray that you have a safe journey to your destination.

I hope I can be of help, even if it's small.

"I will follow you on the day the vacation starts."

"Until then..."

"Where you are" means heaven and "I will follow you" means...

Did she commit suicide?

That's exactly what I thought too.

How can a nine-year-old commit suicide?

On her way there, Hye Na kept looking at the birds flying in the sky.

So, she followed Oh Cheol on the first day of the vacation.

This totally makes sense.

There is something else that you must see.

I found this from the substitute teacher's counseling session records.

There is a part where Hye Na gives a detailed account of her mother's abuse.

Records of Counseling Session

Aren't you going to sleep?

I think I'll go crazy if I stay still.

I shouldn't have given birth to her.

I shouldn't have!

I...

Why did I have her...

Oppa,

please hold me.

Ah, don't touch the electric kettle.

Be careful when you turn on hot water in the sink.

Also, be careful when you jump on the bed.

- Don't open the door for anyone. - Okay.

I will only eat dinner and come back. I won't be too late, so don't worry, okay?

I got it. Hurry and be on your way.

"Emergency evacuation guidelines..."

Frankly, there are many times I wished her dead.

But Oppa,

why does my heart feel like it's about to break?

It...

It hurts so much.

Soo Jin, you are here?

These are Yi Jin's twins. 7 years old. Tae Woon and Tae Mi.

How do you do?

- Hello. - Unnie!

Unnie, how long has it been?

Long time no see.

Sorry, I ate first.

I got off an urgent reporting job briefly, just to see you.

Unnie, you are here? I can't come out because something is about to boil over.

Unnie, wasn't crab your favorite food?

I went to Noryangjin fish market in the morning to make a crab stew.

It's really yummy, really.

Have more before you go.

I was going to leave as soon as I got to see her face.

Unnie, it is so nice to see you.

You'll be in Seoul at least until the weekend, right? I'll call you.

Unnie Yi Jin, it's really yummy. Your kimchi stew is a work of art.

Mom, I'm leaving. Auntie is leaving, kids.

Good bye.

She goes around like that nowadays. Last month, she became a reporter for a daily newspaper.

Good for her.

- She always gets into trouble. - I'm worried that she might get fired any moment.

But she does try hard.

It's delicious, really.

Mom said you would want to have a home cooked meal.

That's right. I wanted to eat this kind of food.

Kids, did you greet Big Auntie properly?

Yes!

Because you said she was the big auntie, I thought she'd be really big.

But she's not that big.

I think she's about the size of Auntie Hyeon Jin.

Nonsense. I am much bigger.

You lived without knowing that you had such big nieces and nephews, right?

I will say...

The kids resemble you a lot.

Tae Woon takes after his dad and Tae Mi takes after me.

No, Tae Woon has your face when you were little.

Really?

My Tae Woon hates losing. He has to be number one in everything.

He takes after his dad. His dad is number one in studying, working and drinking alcohol.

My Tae Mi likes anything pretty. She takes after me.

But you hate losing too.

Do I?

You won't believe how particular she is about her parenting.

She takes them everywhere.

How about the piano?

Lukewarm. I'm lukewarm about everything else, after giving birth to the kids.

There are lots of people who can play the piano besides me.

But my kids can't live without me.

It's scary how blood attracts blood.

I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my kids.

Automated... ticketing machine.

word chain.

"When a balloon grows bigger."

"A lock and key."

Snip, snip, the sound of

cutting hair.

Snip, snip, the sound of cutting hair.

Mom. The sound of mom coming.

13 x 1 = 13, 13 x 2 = 26

13 x 3 = 39, 13 x 4 = 52

13 x 5 = 65, 13 x 6 = 78

Do seven-year olds normally memorize 9 x 9 multiplication tables?

He memorized them when he was five. These are 19 x 19 tables.

13 X 10 = 130

19 x 17 = 323, 19 x 18 = 342, 19 x 19 = 361

Tae Woon, you're amazing.

I was so, so impressed. Thank you for showing me.

You must have felt unsettled because of my sudden reappearance.

More than anything, thank you for greeting me warmly. You are more like the big sister.

I will leave for the day. I have something...

Excuse me! But I have something to show you, too.

What are little boys made of?

What are little boys made of?

Frogs and snails and puppy-dog's tails,

And that's what little boys are made of.

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok, come out quickly. It's not hide-and-seek.

I'm going to the barber shop.

Mom

Why are you here? Do you know how shocked I was?

I'm sorry. The cartoons wouldn't come on.

I'm sorry. We've burdened you so many times.

- Let's go. - Mom, I'm going to the bathroom.

Mother, let's chat.

I'm sorry.

She didn't come to see cartoons.

She wasn't wearing proper clothes, her lips were blue, and she was shivering when she came.

I came because I wanted to see cartoons.

This might come across as stepping over my boundaries.

But I think she's too young to be left alone at night.

You're right. Thank you.

Let's go.

You're cold, right?

To be honest, someone came to take me away.

Who?

Someone knocked loudly and then just came in without permission

and then did whatever they wanted in the bathroom and bedroom.

They did whatever they wanted to the bed?

I was hiding in the closet and then narrowly escaped following the emergency evacuation guidelines.

Did they go through the trash and organize the towels?

That's right!

What do we do now?

We're gonna go home and get ready for bed. They came to clean our room.

Why? Let's go.

She's crazy. Is she the child's real mom?

How about the hospital corridors and entrance stairways?

There is no CCTV in the corridors and the ones from the stairways are being checked right now.

You were scared today, weren't you?

I wasn't scared at all.

I should have thought of telling you beforehand. I'm sorry.

I wasn't scared so don't be sorry.

But Yoon Bok,

about the woman in the barber shop, you can't keep visiting her because she's good to you.

We're rUnnieng away right now so

we can't be close with other people.

But she's not a bad person.

Still. Okay.

Thank you.

But do you know your multiplication tables?

Yes. 2 x 1 = 2, 2 x 2 = 4, 2 x 3 = 6, 2 x 4...

2 x 1 = 2, 2 x 2 = 4, 2 x 3 = 6, 2 x 4...

I really won't be late today. I promise.

I'll hang this on the door handle outside so that no one can come in.

"Please don't disturb."

Do you have a cough?

There's something stuck in my throat.

Go.

She came.

- Sorry I'm late. - Soo Jin! - Ahjussi!

Where were you until now?

- Manager Yoo, let's look at them one by one. - Yes.

We will begin with this one.

It's similar to Jackqueline Kennedy's dress for the inauguration eve party, right?

The lines from her neck to the shoulders are so shapely and firm.

That's why elegant clothes fit her the best.

- I don't need clothes this elegant. - Why not?

I have no where to go wearing these clothes.

If you wear these kinds of clothes, you can go anywhere.

Because there are no men who behave rudely toward a gracefully dressed lady.

Even in your weakest moment, the clothes will protect you.

I would like to be able to protect myself in any kind of moment.

Exactly! That's what I am saying. Manager Yoo, we're busy. Would you hurry up a little?

We need coats, pants and also lots of good quality sweaters.

Because I might not be able to buy her any clothes for the next 10 years.

And what she likes... She likes... simple things.

Some boring convent affiliated girls' school uniform-like clothes... She likes those a lot.

[Viki Ver] tvN E04 Mother -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You look smart miss.

Yes you do. Where can I find the spring collection?

They are downstairs. Would you like to see?`

Ahjussi, please have a word with me.

I know that you keep secrets well, and that there's nothing you can't do.

You always found me whenever I ran away. Do you know how surprised I was each time?

Not anymore. I'm too old for that now.

If you run away too far, it will be very difficult for me.

Ajussi, I need your help.

For the first time, I need your help desperately.

I won't do it if it's going to hurt anybody.

And I won't help you to run away, okay?

Because your mother will tear me into pieces if I do that.

Are you okay with something a little... illegal?

If mom becomes a tree, I will become a small boat

and glide far far away.

The child became a small boat

Mom, I'm Going to Run Away

Miss Cha Yeong Sin, you are under arrest on suspicion of child abuse.

You have the right to remain silent and to consult an attorney.

Understand?

How strange?

Welcome! The other party is already here.

- We will keep your bags. - Thanks.

Hello!

Ah Dr. Jeong! Were you waiting?

I just got here.

You always say that.

Soo Jin, this is Dr. Jeong Jin Hong. He is a doctor that I visit often and bother all the time.

This is my daughter Kang Soo Jin.

I've heard a lot about you.

Please take a seat.

You never told me she was a beauty. It caught me off-guard.

So you know how to be polite as a man.

Honestly, anyone can see that she is not a beauty. - A supplementary photo shoot?

Why didn't you tell me that I have a supplementary photo shoot?

Okay, I will leave here soon.

People, I'm so sorry. Something came up - a photo shoot.

Yes, please go ahead.

Thanks. Then, take your time and enjoy the meal.

Soo Jin, eat with a smile.

My mom visits you often?

Yes, more or less.

It must be tough.

Yeah... But she's someone I respect a lot.

Respect?

She's honest like a child. And she's cool.

She just lied about the photo shoot. Didn't you realize?

Excuse me?

May I explain today's menu?

Not now, later.

It's the repertoire she uses when she's in a hurry. Supplementary photo shoot, rehearsal or fitting.

Why was she in a hurry today?

She wanted to hook you up with me.

I'm sorry, but I'm waiting for someone.

Oh, is that so?

I'm usually not this rude. It's been a long time but I don't want to be tricked by my mom.

I'm sorry.

Yes, you shouldn't let yourself be tricked by your mother.

I will leave first.

I will see you off.

I can go alone. Sorry for the trouble I caused.

Go to the hospital.

You are getting a chemotherapy tomorrow morning, correct?

First I need to get some checkups done tonight.

You made the right decision.

I'm tired. So tired.

May I drop you off?

I always planned to clean this up, but...

I would have cleaned the car if I knew things would turn out this way. I'm sorry.

- Looks like you go camping. - Yes.

This has been bothering me since a while ago.

Actually, Mrs Cha wasn't trying to get us together.

I begged her to introduce you to me.

She said no. She didn't want to bother you when she met you after such a long time.

I liked birds since I was a child.

In the summer I woke up at 5.30 am and went to the hills at the back of my house.

In the winter I went alone to South Han river by bus.

I didn't know anyone else who liked it, so I did all by myself.

It's a bulbul.

Judging from the sound, it's a strong male.

He is declaring his territory from a high tree branch.

This is the kind of conversation I wanted to have.

Like you, I too wanted to study birds at the university and travel anywhere to watch them.

But I couldn't muster the courage.

Courage to disappoint my parents.

I'm still disappointing my mom.

But Mrs. Cha was really proud of you.

That's the result of the effort that is demanded of me.

See? I don't usually dress like this.

This is my mom declaring her territory.

- Unnie! Unnie! - Mi So Hwang. Mi So Hwang.

The first time was a phony, so because of this...

Muryeong, Kangwon-Do police that are investigating...

the case of the missing girl in Muryeong, arrested Ms Sin X, the mother of the missing child,

at her house in Baekseong-dong, Muryong, today around 4 pm.

The police that are investigating the case have found CCTV video evidence...

to suggest that Ms Sin has continually used violence on the missing child.

I could never give a straight answer when people asked me why I liked birds.

So I wanted to meet someone who could understand it without an explanation-

-Please drop me off over there.

There? - Yes.

Thanks to you, I arrived comfortably.

I tried to take a longer route but it still felt short.

- Take care. - Ah, wait a second.

Where is this?

When you have some time...

Parking for only a few minutes, 010-546-7734

Thank you.

Yes, she is the biological mother of the child Kim Hye Na who disappeared at Baekseom Port in Muryeong.

She has just arrived at this Muryeong, Gangwang-do, police station.

While the missing child's whereabouts are still unknown,

Mrs. Sin, the birth mother of the abused child, is denying the fact she's been maltreating her child.

You know... I took drugs many times while raisng Hye Na.

Because I was so tired, I wanted to die.

But... Who do you think you are to do this to me?

What do you know about me to do this, I said!

The police arrested Mrs. Sin for a felony charge of child abuse.

They will investigate the circumstances of Mrs. Sin abusing the missing child, and

plan to figure out whether or not this is related to the disappearance case.

Yes. This afternoon, Mrs. Shin, the birth mother of the missing Muryeong child,

has been arrested without warrant for child abuse-

Yoon Bok. I'm sorry, Yoon Bok. I'm late.

Are you okay?

Yoon Bok. Yoon Bok!

I'm sorry. I should've came back sooner but it took me long.

Sorry, Yoon Bok.

Mom... Hye Na's mom is... very angry.

She is not your mother. You also know you are not Hye Na.

You are Yoon Bok. Your mother is me.

But what if... those people capture and take Yoon Bok's mom away, too?

There is still not a single clue as to the whereabouts of the missing child.

Today, it's revealed that the birth mother Sin might have been abusing her child.

So many people are worried that the birth mother might be

somewhat related to the disappearance case.

I believe they've already secured the mother's alibi in the beginning of this investigation process, but

in such situation like this, wouldn't it be difficult to find the relation between this and the disappearance case?

Yes, but if there were a third party intervention in this case, this will become more complicated.

010-8692-54

Darn...

Yoon Bok, are you okay-Oh my.

It's so hot.

Look at this sweat. Yoon Bok, can you hear me?

If you hear me, say something. Yoon Bok.

This is unit 816. Do you have any fever remedy?

No, it's okay. No need to go to hospital.

What should I do, what? Focus, focus.

Parking for only a few minutes, 010-546-7734

Hello, this is Kang Soo Jin.

Where's the child?

Seven years old? Eight?

She turned nine.

Please take her clothes off.

Name?

It's Yoon Bok. Kim Yoon Bok.

Yoon Bok.

- Can you put her up? - Okay.

That will do.

Hey, Yoon Bok. Open your mouth, Yoon Bok.

That's good.

It's Croup. Laryngitis.

Since when did it get bad?

She started coughing from yesterday afternoon and she threw up before going to bed.

It would be hard for her to breathe since her larynx is swollen.

If it gets worse, she might have to go to the emergency room.

You should take her to the doctor's tomorrow morning, okay?

Please fill the tub with hot water.

- Is she conscious? - It's because she has a high fever.

Her fever will go down and her cough will get better in 30 minutes, but

the room is too dry. Go to the front desk and get a humidifier.

Okay.

Mom...

Yoon Bok. Are you awake?

Can you speak? What's your name?

Kim Hye Na.

Can you say your name again, Yoon Bok?

Kim Hye Na.

What's your mom's name?

Sin Ja Yeong.

It might become bronchitis or pneumonia, so you must go to the hospital.

Is there a reason why you can't go to the hospital?

Come to my office and get medications. You should give them to her and I will give you a call in 3 days.

Thank you.

This place is not good for the little child. Can't you go to your mother's place?

Oh, well. There are 3 rooms at my house but I live alone.

I go out very early in the morning and come home late. If you need help, give me a call.

Doctor.

You are grateful, right?

I see. Let's talk later.

She's been asleep for 20 hours. It seems like she's taken a lot of Zolpidem.

She needs to be conscious for us to investigate her

Have we identified the location of her boyfriend?

He hasn't been taking his phone calls after he left for a delivery.

Is she sick?

I'm sorry. Could you look after Yoon Bok for a while?

I found out what that sound is.

Clink, clink, clink.

This?

You will always get caught playing hide-and-seek because of the sound.

- Hello. - Hello.

You're here, Unnie?

- Where is Mom? - She's resting.

Mom is resting because she's sick.

Mom!

You're here?

I don't think this is working. I will repay the money no matter what.

I can no longer deal with you doing whatever you want to do just because you lent me money.

What are you saying, Soo Jin? Tell me clearly so I can understand.

Wearing clothes that you like. Meeting men whom you like on blind dates.

I did that plenty of times in the past.

I agreed to meeting you and spending time with you.

I didn't agree to living my life the way you want again.

Unnie!

You are so selfish.

After you left without a word, how upset must Mom have felt

and how much must she have missed you, to get a cancer!

A person so scared of hospitals like Mom got chemotherapy and surgery all by herself.

Still it came back and all of us are having such a hard time!

But you, returning after having done all that you wanted to do...

Yi Jin, please leave us alone.

Unnie, what has Mom done that's so wrong?

What hasn't she done for you?

Yi Jin, please wait outside.

Mom! Do you have a cancer?

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't get a cancer because of you.

My mom died of a breast cancer when I was a sophomore in high school.

But how angry I got... As if she abandoned me purposefully.

I was determined not to get a cancer at least so that you kids wouldn't get angry.

Soo Jin, I knew you'd be back.

That's why I got chemotherapy and surgery 7 years ago, bravely, by myself.

So I can be healthy and greet you upon your return.

But when I heard of the cancer cells spreading this time, I got a bit scared.

When I didn't know where on earth you were, whether you were dead or alive,

I was afraid I might just die here by myself.

Mom...

Will you stay with me?

- Mom, I... - Must you go?

Can't you leave after meeting me the ten times you promised?

And you don't even care about how you dress normally.

So what's wrong if you wear the clothes I buy you?

And about Dr. Jeong, he is absolutely not the type I like.

Did you think I'd want you mixed up with a man, who eats three meals a day at the hospital, 7 days a week?

I didn't hear you talking about repaying the money earlier on.

Go, I am tired.

Humanly speaking, today's meeting shouldn't count as one time.

Muryeong Police Station

But no matter how I look at it, I can't think that the kid is on her way to die.

Not only her steps and movements, but don't you think she'd be smiling if you could look at her face?

It's because of your own mood.

There is no one who'd want to see a kid on her way to her death.

The way I see it... It seems like Hye Na is saying her last good-bye.

"Guys, good-bye. Farewell." Like that.

These kinds of cases end, nine times out of ten, with the discovery of the child's dead body.

But I cannot give up the remaining one chance.

For instance, a neighborhood ahjumma or

a school teacher could have taken her without anyone knowing about it.

Someone like that... bird doctor teacher...

You mean that substitute teacher? She is absolutely not that kind of person!

You know those kinds of people who are indifferent to other people's affairs? Kids hated her too.

Is that so?

I wouldn't have thought this about you, but there is a naive side to you, Detective.

I'm back. Where's Yoon Bok?

In the third floor rooftop room.

Shall we go play hide-and-seek?

Nobody should be able to take our Soo Jin.

I'm not going to go anywhere and wait here.

Mom is someone who can't bear to die, leaving behind her young one.

You don't belong to me any longer.

Wherever it is, fly away all you want.

Whenever you call my name, I feel like I'm your child.

Why did Won Hee die?

You'd better tell me the real reason.

Do you know Teacher Kang Soo Jin?

Find out who she is.

I should keep this.

Yoon Bok, what is this? Where did you get it?
