Original subtitles

You can't.

Why not?

Why can't I?

No matter what, you can't.

Not until I die!

I won't have to wait long then.

I doubt you'll live till you're 100.

What? What did you say?

Say it again. What did you say?

Don't worry, grandma.

It won't happen.

She's already dead.

She's dead.

So don't worry.

I can't be brave or go against your wishes now even if I want to.

That's what death is like.

You can't forgive or say bye. You just get totally cut off.

Your daughter-in-law, my mother...

She betrayed me until the very end.

Taehui!

Where are you going?

Where are you going alone?

Move.

When did she pass away?

How did you find out?

Don't bug me. Move.

You must realize the situation I'm in now.

I can't move.

You can beat me up. I came prepared.

That's what you did when I ran away.

I said I wasn't returning. You chased me to Busan.

I said I wouldn't come home but you blocked me dozens of times.

So tell me. When and how did you find out?

Tell me so I can understand!

I'm not smart like you. I'm not a mind reader.

You keep your mouth shut all the time. How can I know?

Tell me.

Why do you make our family seem like bad people?

I know I'm a horrible, thoughtless brother.

But you should tell me things like this.

Why are you so heartless?

When? How did you find out?

Why did she pass away?

I don't know.

I don't know when, why or how she passed away.

I only heard that one fact... From that guy, Kim Jeha.

That she passed away.

He's a madman.

It's not like he told you before she passed away.

Why seek you and tell you after she's already passed?

I didn't ask him anymore.

Mother, it's all set. Lie down now.

Lie down, mother.

Lie down quickly.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

We don't have any. I thought we had some pills that calm you down.

I'm sure I bought some...

It's not just for mother. Shouldn't you take one too?

Your face is so pale.

I'm okay.

I got shocked by the news, but I'll be okay.

I know. It's so unexpected. How did this happen?

She's still young.

She'd be just over 50 now.

I feel like I've been stabbed in the back.

I don't know how to express the way I feel.

I feel terrible that she has passed away.

But what about poor Taehui?

It's all my fault.

He should have seen her pass. If he wanted to meet his mother...

I should've told him it's okay to meet her.

It's not just you. I'm the same.

He never asked about her so I thought he'd forgotten her.

He was 6 years old. He would've remembered.

I was relieved that he must think I'm his real mom.

I didn't know he had so much pain bottled inside.

A mom should know...

- You go ahead. - Okay.

Misuk!

- Where's Guksu? - What?

He got out first to meet you. You didn't see him?

Did you see him or not?

Hwang Taesik! Tell me straight out!

- I think I saw him. - You think you did?

I think so but my colleagues called me, so I left.

You rotten man! You're horrible!

How could you?

- Guksu! - Guksu!

Guksu!

Daeeon Group's secret illegal funds?

Who's the informant? Have you confirmed it?

Park Seil, the driver of the CEO, Yeom Seungmun.

He's going to provide all the details this afternoon.

They've been accused of secret funds since last year.

But it couldn't be reported due to insufficient evidence.

Taebeom received the word. We can report it exclusively.

Did he call you himself?

Yes, he called my cellphone.

He wants to tell me things he has never spoken of.

You said I'm not trustworthy.

But I guess he thinks I am.

Do a good job. I won't forgive any more mistakes.

That won't happen this time.

Yes, yes, yes!

What time are you meeting him?

4 o'clock. I'll be right on time if I leave now.

- Report back when you get the files. - Of course.

I can't believe this informant has come seeking!

I'm so jealous of you.

The world has recognized my passion and honesty.

Taebeom, I'm always on your side.

Why isn't he coming?

- It's been over 30 minutes. - Don't worry.

Mr. Park, This is Hwang Taebeom from IBC.

Where are you right now? I've already arrived.

I think Yeom Seungmun's men have caught on.

I can't provide the report anymore. I'm sorry.

Mr. Park! Hello?

What is it? What's wrong?

Hello, Mr. Park...

Mr. Park!

Is Mr. Park at home?

Mr. Park!

The number you have dialed is currently switched off.

Taebeom.

We've waited long enough. Let's go now.

I have to go do an interview. You should go to the office.

Mr. Park. Hello?

I've made up my mind.

Let's meet again at the cafe. Right now.

Mister! The elevator's broken.

There's a child in here. What should we do?

- In the elevator? - Yes.

- Did you tell the guard? - We did.

I see...

Then he'll be here soon. Just wait a little while.

Please wait. They'll be here.

Can you hear me?

Get a grip.

Stay calm. Do you see me?

Look at me. Do you see me?

What should I do?

This is terrible. What should we do?

- Is he in there alone? - Yes.

- How long has it been? - I heard him and came out.

It's been quite a long time.

Move out of the way.

Be careful. It's dangerous.

Save me!

Little boy, are you okay?

The guard will be here soon. Wait a little while, okay?

Save me! I'm scared!

Little boy, wait there. I'm coming down.

- Be careful. - Yes.

- Be careful. - Yes...

Be careful.

- It's okay. - Watch out.

Be careful.

Goodness.

- Oh, no... - I'm alright.

- Save me. - Are you alright?

I'm here now. It's okay.

- Save me. - It's okay.

Let's go up now, okay?

Let's go.

Be careful.

Here we go.

Goodness... Thank you.

Be careful.

You must've been so scared.

It's okay now.

You were so brave.

Come here.

Hey!

- Did you find him? - No.

I went all the way down there. You didn't see him either?

I went to the station. I couldn't find him.

Where has he gone?

Do you know anywhere that he could've gone?

Anywhere he told you that he wanted to go.

Nowhere. He was always at home.

Think harder.

Children mean everything that they say.

Please send me to school.

He asked me to send him to school once.

Guksu!

Guksu!

- Guksu! - Guksu!

Guksu!

Guksu!

Guksu!

Guksu!

Gosh.

Guksu!

Guksu!

Guksu...

Guksu, come down from there. Right now!

Come down here!

Who told you to come here without telling anyone?

I told you to wait in front of the hospital, didn't I?

Answer me. Did I or didn't I?

Why are you crying? You didn't do anything right!

You don't even answer me! Stop crying!

- Stop it. - You should've listened to me!

Why come here alone when you don't even know your way around?

Who taught you that way? Your mom?

Answer me!

Then why did you do this?

What would have happened if we hadn't found you?

What if you never saw your dad again?

Is that what you want?

No...

Don't make him cry!

Stop it.

Don't cry.

I said don't cry.

Stop crying now.

You're a boy. Why do you cry all the time?

Yes, stop crying. Just don't do this again.

Don't cry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

Just don't do it again, okay?

Okay.

Misuk, thanks for today.

Hey, only humans say thanks.

You ignore your own son. You're not human.

Do you have to speak that way?

- Hwang Taebeom. - Yes?

- Are you feeling alright? - Sure. Can I go now?

Wait a minute. Can you move your hand?

Hand...

Yes, my hands. I'm fine.

- Your feet too. - My feet?

I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me.

There's nothing wrong on the x-ray or neurologic tests.

- Yes. - It was a mild concussion.

- Really? - Come back if you don't feel well.

Yes, alright. Thank you.

The number you have dialed...

Hyeonuk, what is it? I'm busy.

- The office is in chaos. - Why?

UBC released the report about Daeeon Group's secret funds.

What?

- Here's an exclusive report. - What did you say?

Mr. Park, the driver of the CEO, Yeom Seungmun...

Stated that close to $20 million was stored in executive accounts.

Much of this money has been invested in stocks.

What's wrong with you?

You receive the call first and miss the scoop?

What were you doing? Why didn't you meet him?

What were you doing at that time?

- I'm sorry. - You said no more mistakes!

Why did you act so good? To end up like this?

Wait!

What's that cut on your forehead? What happened?

It's nothing.

Why didn't you meet him then?

You're always after scoops. I know you went to meet him.

What happened? Tell me.

I don't want to talk about it. Just let it go.

- Go and rest. - Tell me anyway!

- I'm your team leader and wife! - I don't want to talk!

Hey! Tell me!

Hey? Hey, Cha Suyeong!

Mother, get up and eat this.

I made your favorite, powdered sesame porridge.

You have to eat something.

You didn't eat anything last night.

You have to gain strength.

Mother...

Mother!

I've lived too long.

I lived for too long after my son died.

I don't want to live anymore.

I really want my life to end.

Mother...

The heavens are so cruel.

They don't take me...

Why do they keep taking young, precious people?

Tell me what you have to say.

- About my sister-in-law. - Excuse me?

What should I call her?

Just mention her name, dad.

Yes. It's about Oh Yujin.

I heard you told Taehui that she passed away.

I hoped he would come and ask me, not you.

Yes, she passed away.

When? How?

She passed away at the beginning of the year.

It was cancer.

It was terminal when she found out it was lung cancer.

She passed away in Korea then?

Yes.

She wanted to spend her last days in Korea.

You must want to know why we didn't contact Taehui.

Yes.

She wouldn't let me contact him.

She hadn't called him in over 20 years. She hadn't acted like his mother.

She didn't want to call him and show how ill she was.

But she did miss him a lot.

I heard Taehui's grandmother did everything to stop her from seeing him.

And his grandmother stopped my mom from taking Taehui when she remarried.

I don't think that's for you to speak about.

Did Oh Yujin leave a will or any things for Taehui?

Yes. I'll give it to Taehui if he comes to see me.

Just give it to me.

I doubt he will come here.

Tell him to come.

That's the least he owes me for her belongings.

Alright. Thank you for agreeing to see me.

It's alright.

I'm planning to visit the farm again today or tomorrow.

Let's go.

- Dad. - What?

Go wait in the car. I left my phone behind.

Okay.

- What is it? - I left something behind.

I think it's there. Would you mind getting up?

Excuse me? You didn't sit here.

You're not qualified to speak about my grandmother that way.

You don't deserve to meet my brother that way.

I don't know why you and your father bought the farm.

Don't ever show up in front of me or Taehui again.

I'm a little impatient. Don't mess with my family.

I've warned you.

Don't show up in front of my brother.

Hwang Taehui has a lot of support.

How's it going?

Yes?

Have you decided on the construction company?

Really? Good.

Let's bring forward the groundbreaking ceremony.

One moment please.

Yes, that's a good idea. Let's go with that.

Begin construction as soon as the rest of the money's paid.

I'll call you again later.

Excuse me. Is the theme park being built earlier?

Did you hear? That's the plan.

Let's go get background shots before construction begins.

- Excuse me? - Let's go take photos.

The setting's important. Let's go.

- No, I... - Hey, it's your story.

You don't have to go if you can draw it with your eyes closed.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, ma'am.

- Could we speak to you? - We only need 5 minutes.

- Please take this. - Please read our leaflets.

- Have this. - Thanks.

I'll go to the ski society alone. You get some rest.

No, let's go together.

It's better to go together than to go alone.

- We need to load the goods. - I put them in the car.

Taepil, someone's here to see you.

Phil!

Phil?

- Boss, help me. - Excuse me?

Just be still.

Phil. Is this old woman really your girlfriend?

Old woman? Girlfriend?

I told you several times. She's my girlfriend.

We're going to get married.

- What? - So just give up on me.

- Let's go, baby. - Baby?

- What are you doing? - It's the only way.

Or she'll come every day. Please play along.

Wait a minute.

- Get in. - Okay...

- I'll do it for you. - Excuse me?

Oh... Yes.

Smile a little.

I think that's good enough.

I don't think she'll give up that easily.

I know.

We need something stronger.

Like what?

Boss, let's kiss.

What?

What are those people doing?

In front of someone else's store...

Honey, isn't this Yeoul's car?

Nam Yeoul!

I just met Kim Jeha.

I found out about your mother.

She passed away from cancer this year.

She didn't call you as you hadn't met for 24 years.

She didn't want to show you her frail, last moments.

Your mother wouldn't let Kim Jeha call you.

But she missed you a lot.

She wanted to take you when she remarried.

Grandma was against it and so was I.

It felt like it was her fault your father got into that car accident.

It was no ordinary accident. It was a hit and run.

I didn't tell you because it could've hurt you.

We blamed your mother because she went to graduate school.

So your grandma had to look after you.

Your father worked so hard to raise her enrolment fees.

But he never complained.

And he went to meet her at the bus stop every night.

He got into that accident when he went to wait for her.

Then in two years, your mother got remarried.

That's why grandma didn't let anyone talk about her.

I felt terrible after losing my brother.

I blamed your mother too.

Imagine how grandma must have felt.

But we should've set things right as time passed.

We should've let you go and see your mother.

Then at least you would've seen her pass.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

You know what I'm like. I'm always one step behind.

Leaving one day without saying a word...

I know how that feels better than anyone else.

That's how I lost your father.

But still, you should've said something.

You should've told us if you wanted to see her.

You should've asked why you couldn't meet her.

That you're all grown up and want to hear about her.

Didn't you have enough faith in me?

Even when you enrolled into police academy.

Why did you decide alone and do as you wished?

I may not be capable, but I am your dad.

Even if we're lacking in so many ways...

Parents worry about their kids and feel their pain.

Why am I your dad if you decide everything alone?

Just call me uncle then.

I know how you feel.

But today, I'm upset and a little hurt.

You thought of me as your uncle, not your dad.

You thought of your mom as your aunt.

It's not like that, dad. It isn't.

I'm not just your father's older brother.

Even if I met him again, I wouldn't give you back.

Why did you feel hurt but not say a word?

Why did you do that?

You make me feel embarrassed and you've hurt me.

I'm sorry.

I know how you feel. I really do.

Don't say a word. I know how you feel.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being so foolish.

You poor thing. It's my fault.

I'm sorry you couldn't meet your mother and see her pass.

I'm so sorry.

My poor son... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

My poor son.

That concludes the meeting.

Who's going to Professor Park Mansu's conference?

- Taebeom is going. - You go, Hyeonuk.

Me? I have to interview Prosecutor Na...

I'll go then.

Eunsil, prepare the special report with Reporter Cheon.

Excuse me? But Taebeom's preparing it.

It's the general manager's, and my orders.

Meeting adjourned.

Team Leader!

What if Taebeom ends up being transferred?

That's ridiculous.

Think of how many scoops he's scored.

They can't abandon him over one mistake.

If Taebeom quits, I'm quitting too.

Team Leader, let's talk. I need to talk to you.

Hwang Taebeom!

Taebeom, I heard you saved a boy in the elevator.

I'm impressed. Is that why you didn't meet the informant?

Why didn't you tell us?

You should've told everyone.

How did you know?

The boy's father wrote on our website notice board.

He wanted to thank you.

You're ranked no. 1 on the internet keyword search.

"National hero, Hwang Taebeom." You're all over the web.

I'm not a national hero.

Really? Let me see.

- Look here. - Where?

Wait a minute.

- Wow. - Wow! You're the best!

- Gosh. - Taebeom did it again.

Round of applause!

You're our hero!

I didn't want to tell. Now the whole nation knows.

You should've told me, if not anyone else.

How could you lie?

Call yourself a journalist? I didn't lie, I kept quiet.

Don't let the left hand know what the right hand did.

You don't have to look so impressed.

Just tell people that I'm that kind of guy.

You gave up a scoop to do a good deed?

Did you do it voluntarily?

No one forced you into it?

You're right. I was pushed into it by someone.

She has a big appetite, gets excited and is honest.

She can even pass gas in front of me openly.

She said this to me all the time...

"Think of your methods and your means."

The procedure is just as important as the results.

Distinguish the right to know and don't just do things to entertain.

Choose to become a just loser, not an unfair winner.

Good things are not always right.

"What kind of journalist do you want to remain in history as?" And so forth.

She pushed me into it.

It's cold. Let's go inside.

I'm proud of you.

That's my reward.

If you're going to reward me, you should do it properly.

Wait a minute.

Is this the yard that Ojak pitched her tent on?

Yes.

Really? Then we should take a photo.

Hello, Mrs. Hwang.

What do I do now?

Jaeun.

Jaeun, what brings you here?

Hello.

I told you I would come to look around the farm.

- You're here together? - We work together.

I heard that she stayed here for a little while.

Jaeun!

Jaeun.

We contracted the house we'll be moving to today.

I won't get to see you again. Take this with you.

What is it?

Just take it. It's yours.

What is it? I need to know if I'm to accept it.

It's yours. Just take it.

What's wrong with you?

Goodness. This has done nothing wrong to you.

It's nothing special.

I don't have much to give you.

It's the thermal underwear we bought last time and the scarf.

Even if you hate me, wear it and stay warm this winter.

It's really cold this year.

Hey...

Give it to me.

Alright.

Can you give us some time alone?

Alright.

I'll wait in the car.

What is it?

Since we won't get to see each other again,

there's something I've always wanted to tell you...

I just never had the chance to.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I'll be sorry until the day I die.

I'm not asking you to forgive me.

Don't ever forgive me. Hate me for life.

Chew me up and live on.

That's the only way you'll survive in this world.

But...

If you ever feel like eating abalone porridge...

No, no. It's nonsense.

Anyway, dress warmly, okay?

Okay...

Okay then...

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Bye.

We've taken the photos. We're about to leave now.

Did you look into it?

Yes.

Yes, alright.

Let's talk again later.

Bye.

Producer Kim...

I don't want to sell the farm anymore.

Is that how you see me?

I was acting to get Taepil's ex-girlfriend off his back.

I trust you. I do.

But find another manager. Get rid of him.

I don't want to!

The person I really want to get rid of is not Taepil... It's you!

I'm sorry, grandma. I was nasty and rude.

Don't say that. You didn't do anything.

Grandma's come out at last!

Taehui's always her favorite.

As you said, I'm considering taking on insurance.

There are conditions however. You must listen to it.

- What is it? - Go out with me 20 times.

- Why? - I'm interested in you.
