Mrs. Lee.

You’re home. Where were you?

I went to your office to see you.

Yeah? What is it?

I want to talk to you about Seunghyun.

Let’s talk.

About Seunghyun, what is it?

Did you send him to the storage room?

Yeah, I did. Why?

Can’t you move him?

Why?

Did he say he doesn’t want to work there?

No. He says he’s fine.

But I’m not okay with it.

The storage, as you know…

… is the most active dept of our company.

It’ll give him knowledge on how distribution works.

The products that we have.

It’ll help him learn how the company runs. So…

Then give him a desk job.

He got hurt moving boxes today.

He’s hurt?

He’s okay now.

But what if he had an accident?

I already feel bad about how he’s brought up.

Honestly… I’m a bit disappointed.

Everyone starts there, Jaedong too.

I can’t give him special treatment…

That’s unfair.

If he’s your son, he’s also my son.

Then more so, he should start there.

Otherwise, people will talk and he won’t last long.

If you think of him as your son, no one will talk.

Maybe I should’ve never asked you.

When’d you come?

What are you talking about?

Mom, let’s let him rest.

Okay, rest up.

What are you doing?

He’s not wrong, you know that?

He put Seunghyun at the storage. I’m so upset.

Hey, he should be more upset than you.

Mom.

Hey. Think about it!

He’s your son from before the marriage.

But he forgave you and even accepted him.

Who would do that?

You’ve got to be grateful so don’t complain.

But I’m still upset.

That’s ridiculous.

- He’s coming, coming. - My gosh.

Hello.

What brings you here?

If you’re going to do this, you should move.

Yeah.

What? What’d you mean?

You kidding?

There are floods of reporters every day, it’s so loud.

- Yeah! - Right?

How noisy.

And it isn’t for a good reason too, right?

Yeah, it’ll drop our house values.

Don’t worry about that.

I’m your district rep candidate.

I make it my goal to raise our house values!

Remember? No. 1, Manjong Baek.

You’re dropping our house values.

What’s the use of your plan?

Either stop the reporters or move.

We won’t let you do this.

Let’s go.

Manjong, what do we do?

Mother, don’t worry.

They’ve got nothing better to do.

Let’s go.

I put on the heater, it’ll warm up soon.

I told you to stay home.

It’s hard to keeping up with me and the rain too.

Manjong, don’t worry.

Mother…

It’s okay, it’s okay.

Mother, give me a second.

Let me fix you a meal, I’ll be back.

Poor Manjong.

What if he doesn’t make the election.

This isn’t the end of me. Not even close.

Mother, Mother, try this.

What’s it?

I found some rice, so I made it.

It’s good.

Really?

It’s really good.

Manjong, try some.

Yes, Mother.

This brings back memories from way back.

Remember, we used to eat this a lot.

Yeah, we didn’t start with much but we came this far.

Yes, Mother.

Mother, you believe in me, right?

Yeah. I don’t believe in God but I believe in you.

Eat, hurry.

Okay, okay, Mother.

Eat more.

Gangtae, what are you doing?

Mother seems to have no appetite. I’ll make something.

No, its okay. I’ll do it, move.

No, I won’t let you set foot in here.

Gangtae.

So go in the room and rest like a queen.

Sooryun, come on. Take her to the room.

Okay. I will, Gangtae.

He’s such a gentleman isn’t he.

Only if his business picks up a bit.

Still directing?

Yeah.

Mom, he’ll make it big.

I know, I know.

But I don’t know if I should stay here.

I don’t know where Jangmi is.

Don’t worry. She needs time.

Nothing will happen to her, right?

Of course, she’s strong. She’ll be back soon.

Welcome.

- Can I have a cold medicine? - Okay.

My gosh. Isn’t she the worst?

If it wasn’t for the rumor, she would’ve still showed her face.

I know, what a liar.

I would punch her if I could.

- Thank you! - Good-bye.

Good-bye, thank you.

Now I can breathe.

We didn’t even get a minute of break, huh?

You must be hungry. What’d you want?

I’m so busy with work, I’m not even hungry.

Don’t lie, I heard your stomach growl.

You did?

This is good for us but what’s Jangmi going to do?

Media’s going crazy.

Is she okay?

She’ll be okay.

Can you organize here? I’ll pick up lunch.

Sooryun, it’s me.

Has Jangmi called?

Please let me know when she calls.

Okay.

Jangmi, are you okay?

Call me when you get this. I’m worried.

Yeonhwa.

Take this upstairs. It’s tea with cookies.

Take it to him and apologize about earlier.

Tell him you’d do what he wants.

Mom, Sis.

Your favorite Jaedong is home.

What’s gotten into you?

Ta-da.

What’s that?

It’s rice cake. Sis liked it last time.

Rice cake? That’s rare, let me have some.

Where’re you off to?

I’m going to go exercise.

Bicycle?

Hey, why don’t you try this rice cake?

And come chat with us.

You three go ahead, I’ll be back.

Okay, sure.

Are you upset because he left?

Don’t push his buttons.

Jaedong, I’ll eat later. You eat, Mom.

What happened? What’s wrong?

It’s nothing.

Hey, miss.

Miss.

Miss! Miss!

Miss! Miss!

How do I turn this on?

Jangmi! Where are you?

Do you know the owner?

Yes. Who’s this?

Just a sec, talk to her.

I’m the owner at the inn.

The lady here is sick, that’s why I called.

Sick? How?

Where are you?

Okay, okay, I’ll be there.

Hey, are you okay?

You scared me because you didn’t wake up.

I’m sorry.

Don’t be.

But you should go home. Why’re you here?

Missy, wait here.

I called with your phone. Someone’s coming.

- You called? - Yeah.

Who’d you call…

- Did you call this person? - Yeah.

I asked someone to dial that person, why?

Nothing.

Hey, what’s wrong? Miss!

Grandma, I’m sorry. I’ve got to go.

Hey, Miss.

Jangmi, Baek Jangmi!

Baek Jangmi!

Jangmi!

Baek Jangmi!

Don’t run away. Where’re you going?

Oppa, let me go.

No! I won’t let you go.

Please let me go. Please, let go!

Jangmi!

Let go! Let go!

Are you okay? Should we see a doc?

Let’s go, everyone’s worried.

Not yet. Oppa…

Don’t come looking for me.

Don’t mind me whether I get sick or hurt.

Don’t worry about me.

I did this to you.

I can’t leave you here.

Oppa…

- We’re done now. - Jangmi.

I don’t regret the press conference.

But I made a big mistake to my father.

He tried to stop me.

But I didn’t listen to him.

I know it’s absurd…

… But I know he did it for me.

But I did something unforgivable to him.

I can’t hurt him again…

… to be with you.

I won’t do that.

Okay.

Then I’ll wait.

However long it takes.

Oppa… don’t wait for me.

It’ll be tough for you to be with me.

It was hard enough for me too.

I want to rest and I want to be alone.

If you look for me, that’ll push me away.

Okay, I won’t be looking for you.

So don’t run away.

If I know where you are, I’ll stop looking for you.

Just stay here, Jangmi, please.

Just stay. You don’t want me to worry, right?

So just stay here, okay?

Thank you, Jangmi.

Please take care of her.

Call me if something happens.

Okay.

Thank you.

Soju and beer mixed is the best.

Shinae, drink up. Drink up!

I am.

Gangtae, make another glass.

Yes, Mother.

Mom, you had enough. Gangtae.

Yeah, stop. You’re drunk.

I’m not, Gangtae, hurry.

Okay, when else would you drink?

You’re the only one that understands me.

I said that’s enough. Go home.

Why? You don’t want to feed me?

You don’t want me to stay?

Why am I here instead of my place?

Because I was helping your son.

If I decide to stay, you’ve got to let me.

Gangtae.

Soju and beer’s the best, right?

Another one.

Yes, Mother.

Mom, that’s really enough.

I’m home.

Why’re you home so late?

I met Jangmi.

Where’s Jangmi? Where?

She said not to tell anyone. I’ll tell you later.

Is she okay? Is she doing okay?

Don’t worry. She’s somewhere safe.

Chadol, why’d you meet her?

Didn’t I tell you not to get near her?

Shinae, how can you say that?

Why’d this happen?

Isn’t this all for his sake that she did this?

How can you say that to him?

None of this is his fault.

Do you know what he went through?

Don’t you go around looking for her.

Why’re you butting in?

Mom, she sacrificed everything for me.

And Chorong’s mom too.

I’ve made up my mind to wait for her.

So don’t stop me now.

My gosh, My gosh.

Your sons are the best, aren’t they.

Shinae! I thought of you as my friend.

You brat!

We’re not friends! We’re through!

- Mom! - Don’t worry, I’ll take her home.

I got it.

Gangtae!

Yes, put your shoes on.

Mother, eat this.

Pig feet? At this hour?

We’ve got to eat to get energy.

I drove to find the best spot.

Eat a lot.

Okay.

I’ll eat this and campaign at the senior home.

Ask them to vote for you.

I’ll make sure all of them do!

Yes, Mother.

You bastard! You have appetite?

Did you drink again?

Yeah, I did.

Because I’m so sad!

This. This.

You can eat? Manjong, are you human?

Kicked everyone out and still have appetite?

This woman!

Manjong! Manjong!

I don’t need this, I’ve got to worry about the election.

Election?

If you get elected, our district will be ruined.

What?

If you get elected…

… I’ll give do anything you want.

What did you say?

Manjong. She’s drunk, just ignore her.

Mother, I’m not drunk at all.

And! I’m getting a divorce!

- What? - What did you say?

You can’t even manage your family…

… leading the district?

That’s funny. That’s hilarious.

YOU!

I won’t vote for you.

Oh, that other candidate.

I’ll vote for no. 3, he’s good looking.

My, my…She must’ve lost her mind.

So you’re done! Bye-bye!

Wake up!

Go lay her down.

What do we do, this is nuts!

Well…you need her on the election day.

She needs to be there.

You’ve got to let her stay. Right?

My , my gosh… how…

I slept here…with him…? My gosh!

Drink this, it’s honey water.

Why’d you drink so much?

Forget it. Let’s go get a divorce.

Geumja So.

What, Manjong Baek?

What?

You’ll do whatever I want if I get elected?

If I’m elected, the district will be ruined?

How can you say that to me?

When did I?

What, you don’t remember?

I know you meant all of that.

That’s how little you think of me?

I didn’t say anything wrong.

Do I gamble or cheat?

Am I violent or brought home no money?

What have I done wrong for you to say that?

Because you never respect me.

When did I? When?

I’m just comfortable with you.

My only vice is that I worked too hard.

And loved the women in this family.

Am I wrong? Tell me.

No. But…

Do you know how sad I am?

Not my wife, not my daughters.

None of you know my effort, what did I live for?

Why did I do all that to Sooryun and Jangmi?

Because I wanted them to live a comfortable life.

Why’s that so bad?

What did I live my life for?

For whom did I try so hard?

I’m sorry, honey.

I thought you’d… always stand by my side.

But how could you… none but you…

I’m sorry, I won’t do that again.

I’m on your side… I’m always on your side.

The poll shows that you have a chance.

The opponent’s picking up their pace.

And the table’s turned, so we’re concerned.

Independent candidate?

Not our concern.

Tomorrow’s election day, today’s our last chance.

They must have some kind of issue.

Look deeper and we’ll find something.

I’ve done that already.

But he’s got no problems or issues. He’s clean.

So what?

His plans and goals are unrealistic.

People like him drives the government to debt.

Let’s go with the color theory.

Color theory?

Accusing them of supporting N Korea’s huge.

The effect won’t be the same, it’s risky.

Voters are educated now.

Educated?

You mention N. Korea, it’ll drop their support.

We don’t have time to argue, we’ve got to win.

Only victory is justice.

Find something in his dissertation.

Or speeches, make it work.

Okay, I will.

Grandma, it’s me.

Yes, Mister.

Is she okay? Did she eat?

She looks a lot better since you came by.

She’s eating and she’s helping me.

Really?

Please take care of her.

Don’t tell her that I called.

Okay.

I’ll drop by soon.

Okay, good-bye.

Okay, 300 pairs.

I’ll get that ASAP. Thank you.

Who was it?

It’s Gangho group, order for 300 pairs.

Gangho group?

Yeah, from the president’s office.

300 pairs for an orphanage.

That’s where Mrs. Lee goes to volunteer.

She must’ve ordered it.

Gangho Group’s Mrs. Lee?

Since the press conference, we’ve gotten busy.

Orders are coming in non-stop.

I’m excited but am scared at the same time.

I’m worried how long this will last.

I should stop, our hard work’s paying off, right?

Of course.

- Mom. - Hello.

You guys didn’t eat, right? I brought lunch.

Thank you.

You’re working hard.

Not at all. I’m excited.

Order’s been coming in, it’s going great.

Really?

That’s great.

Mom, what’s that? Who’s that for?

It’s for Mrs. Lee, I made food for her.

She ordered 300 pairs, let me come say thank you.

What? She ordered 300 pairs?

Mr. Kang, it’s me.

How… how’s it going with the search?

I’m sorry, I would’ve called if I had good news.

I know but you try harder. And don’t ever stop!

Don’t worry at all.

Okay.

Thank you.

How frustrating. How frustrating.

I wish I knew whether he’s alive or not.

Mrs. Cho, It’s me.

Mrs. Ma, what is it?

I wanted to ask if you knew good psychic.

Psychic?

Remember, about what I told you before.

I’m just frustrated over that.

I want to know if he's alive or not.

Mrs. Ma. My plate’s full with my son.

I can barely breathe. We’re on the same boat.

What, really?

Yeah.

I don’t know if he’ll make it.

I hope someone can tell me what it’ll be already.

Let’s go see a psychic together.

Your greed will cause destruction.

He won’t make it?

I never said that.

Then he’ll make it?

He’ll lose everything.

Lose everything?

That road’s not meant for him.

He tried so hard choosing the wrong path.

Don’t be so cruel now.

Mrs. Cho…

Is my grandson still alive?

He’ll lose everything? How could this be…

If I had known, I should’ve died.

If I knew he died, I shouldn’t have made this plan.

The fake son’s supposed to give me time.

I thought I’d find him and save my daughter.

Mrs. Cho… what do we do?

How much will my daughter hate me…

Mrs. Ma… Mrs. Ma…

Everyone!

I have something I need to say.

About Mr. Oh Changsik, my rival.

What is it? What’s he going to say?

This is a direct quote from Mr. Oh from while back.

Welfare is not equivalent to populism.

Rich should pay more, poor should pay less.

That’s fair and should be the goal of humanity.

Everyone, what’s democracy for economy?

He’s promoting communism!

Agreed!

Do you know what else?

He wants to pay N Korea for unification.

If we take the richest’s money, what’ll we do?

How will we pay for welfare, everyone?

Everyone think!

Could you trust him with our 30 million budget?

Wouldn’t you rather vote for me?

To make you richer! Everyone!

Manjong Baek! Manjong Baek!

How do you feel?

I’m fine, it’s minor.

Are you comfortable at the house?

I can fill it up with what you need.

I’m fine but you should secure my job.

I want to get transferred.

Oh…

That’ll be hard.

Didn’t you say you want to run your business?

How about that?

What is it? Is he not willing?

No, it’s not that…

I’m sure that’s why.

Why else would you be hesitant?

He’s concerned about others.

He doesn’t want to show favoritism.

That’s everyone else. I’m your son.

I’m his son too, basically.

I don’t have to start from the bottom.

I know that too.

Don’t you have rights too?

Let me take over an affiliated company, yeah?

What?

What, an affiliated company?

Do you know how much effort goes into management?

That’s why I need a better position.

To learn and for experience.

But never mind, I’ll handle my business.

Shinae, good to see you.

Your son’s here too?

Mrs. Lee…My sons’ here too.

He wants to say thank you.

This is Chadol, you guys are same age.

You guys met before, yeah?

I’m Chadol Park.

I’m Seunghyun Kim.

- Take a seat. - Okay.

Is business as usual now?

Yeah, we’re getting busier.

That’s great. Shinae was really worried.

Oh, here.

What’s this?

Oh, it’s our new shoes.

It’s a new collection for Spring this year.

Thanks for this.

Thank you

It’s nothing, thank you for the donation.

Donation? What do you mean?

The order you placed for the orphanage?

300 orders, no?

300 orders…

The orphanage was where you volunteered.

I assumed that you placed an order.

Must’ve been Mr. Lee.

Oh, really?

Pick it up.

Yes, Sir.

Now?

Yeah. Okay, Sir.

Chadol, was that him?

Was that my husband?

Yeah. He wants to talk to me.

Really? You better go.

I’ll have to go too.

I’m not needed today.

Okay.

You want me to take over?

Yeah, as our shoes department’s leader.

As a leader?

We’re having difficulty with our shoes.

We’re at a crossroad right now.

Either we invest and revive or we abandon the line.

But seeing how you never give up.

It made me want to be persistent.

I see.

So wouldn't you take over our department?

I know you’ve got an eye for it.

I’ll support you no matter what.

It’s so sudden and I’m a bit taken back.

I’ll think about it though, Mr. Lee.

Of course, you should.

But I hope it goes well.

This isn’t just about making an offer.

But expanding your horizon, it could benefit you.

With you on board, we can have stronger presence.

I’m thankful for this.

I’ll think about it really carefully, Sir.

Really?

He trusted you with the entire dept?

Not just as an employee.

Yeah.

Chadol, that’s great! Just take the offer.

I heard rumors that they were going to get rid of it.

If you revive the dept, you’ll be our hero!

Once you’re the leader, remember me too, okay?

Hey, what’ve you done to deserve that.

Just keep your job! Right, Sooryun?

What’d you think Chadol?

I’m conflicted.

It’ll be a good experience.

But I feel burdened.

Chadol, don’t you worry about that.

That’s right. Cease the chance!

I’ve got to talk to Hyunggi too.

I know you’d make the right decision.

Okay, I’m going in.

Hey, Chadol.

Don’t worry, just take it!

This is tea, drink it.

Thanks.

You bought 300 pairs from Chadol’s store? To donate?

Yeah, I did.

Why not buy our own line?

He went through a lot, as you know.

I just wanted to cheer him on.

It’s good to help him, isn’t it?

He came by earlier today.

You called him? What was that about?

Is it a secret?

I asked him to spearhead our sneakers dept.

You did?

Yeah.

We’re losing a lot of money over it.

He’s proved his abilities time and time again.

So I asked him to lead the dept.

You asked him to lead?

What’s so great about him?

Honey.

Don’t be too harsh.

You’re being harsh.

Chadol’s an expert at the field.

He develops his own design.

But he’s expanding his territory.

This isn’t easy to do.

He’s got real talent to be the head.

Or…

Is it because he’s Shinae’s son?

Honey.

I think that’s too much.

He sends Seunghyun to the storage.

But gives him a position to lead?

Dear God, please help me get elected.

Father…please help me this once.

I beg you, for once in my life, please…

We’ll lose everything…

We’ve got nothing left, if he doesn’t win…

What’ll we do…

Please look here.

Look here.

Hello. Hello.

I’ll see you later.

Okay, thank you.

I’ll see you later.

You picked no.1, right? Not no. 2.

I’m not dumb, why would I do that?

I’m kidding.

Hey, what is it?

Did you vote?

Not yet.

Why not?

I’ll do it.

No. 1, okay?

Don’t tell me what to do.

Is that my mom?

Yeah, she wants us to vote.

To vote for him.

Who’re you going to vote?

Not no.1, right?

You should though.

Don’t tell us, it’s private.

I think morality is number one.

Clean politician’s priority for our future, okay?

The third candidate’s been falling behind.

It’s between Mr. Oh and Mr. Bae now.

The situation’s so intense, it reminds me of a soccer match.

It’s a close race between the two candidates.

Mr. Oh is leading with 3 votes.

What’s going on? Mr. Baek is now leading.

What’s going on? It’s too close to tell who’ll win.

Vote count’s nearing its end finally…
