Why did you survive alone?

Why was it you who lived?

You should have saved my son too.

My son should have lived, not you.

Why did you let my son die when you lived? Why?

(Episode 67)

What?

Are you surprised someone else showed up?

I stole you again.

When I'm just an irresponsible fool.

I'm...

coming from your place.

Your mother found out.

A letter.

She had a letter.

A letter that Jun Gyeom sent to you.

You should go to her.

Go.

Go and be by her side.

Stay with her, all right?

Go.

You should go.

(My Jun Hwi)

(Certificate of Honorable Death for Gu Jun Gyeom)

(Certificate of Honorable Death for Gu Jun Gyeom)

Mom.

Where were you?

You aren't even wearing a jacket.

To throw trash out.

What?

Did you drink?

Did you drink a lot? I can smell the alcohol on you.

Your coat and suit better be dry-cleaned.

Leave them out in the living room.

I'll tell the housekeeper to take them to the cleaner's tomorrow.

Mom.

Should I make you some honey water?

I'll bring it to your room. Go wash up.

It was a hit-and-run.

I...

hit someone and ran away.

Go to your room and study.

Let me wipe the car.

There's no such thing as a heroic death.

It's a title only given by those that were left behind.

I don't want you to be like me.

I'd rather have my eldest son live his life the way he wants...

at the pace he wants.

We need to talk.

About what?

Here.

Wash up and go to bed after you drink this.

Is your stomach all right? Any headache?

With whom did you drink so much?

What happened to your hand?

How did you cut yourself until you bled?

It's nothing.

I cut my hand while I was cleaning the study.

Wait here. I'll go get a bandage.

There's no need.

I'll do it myself. Drink it.

The Certificate of Honorable Death and the plaque.

They weren't in the study. What did you do with them?

I told you. I went to throw trash out.

What?

I think you're right.

There's no such thing as a heroic death.

I only believed what I wanted to believe.

I was completely fooled.

That he left after saving someone.

That he died after saving a girl like her.

The letter.

About Jun Gyeom's letter...

Forget it. I don't want to read it.

He sent it to you.

What's the use of finding out about a talk between brothers?

It'll only make me miss him even more.

He always said he wanted to become a judge like me.

What, a basketball player?

What a jerk. After you told me that,

I feel so betrayed the more I think about it.

I want to get over him.

I want to let him fly away now.

I'm going to burn all his stuff tomorrow.

The living must live on.

I have another son whom I must protect.

You should get over him too.

Let's not talk about him from now on.

I better get rid of his pictures first.

Mom.

If you're doing this because of me, you don't have to.

I'm okay.

So don't avoid me. We need to talk.

I'm not okay.

It's because of me.

It's not you, but because of me.

Or I might crumble, so don't say anything.

I don't want to lose you too.

Then,

let me just treat your wound.

Is that okay?

You're home, Cheong Ah.

Hi. I'm home.

Come have some fried chicken.

I'm not hungry.

We aren't hungry either.

But it's delicious.

I'm a little tired. Let me go upstairs and rest.

I'm sorry, but can you get me some water before that?

My hands are greasy.

Okay.

Thank you.

Grab one and take a bite. It's good.

But I'm really not hungry.

Come on. Just one.

What do you think? Isn't it delicious?

- Yes. - See?

I told you it's good.

For Cheong Ah's dream.

Cheers.

It's cold.

It doesn't feel like chicken. It's like a rock.

What do we do? Shall we go?

No, let's finish the rocks.

Thank you for the food.

What's wrong with your sister?

You're home.

I washed your uniform and put it in your room.

Hey.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I think it's something. Why, what happened?

What?

Jun Gyeom's mom found out about everything?

So how much did you tell her?

Mom.

Did you also tell her...

that you two went there to commit suicide together?

No, right?

Did you?

Why did you tell her that?

You should've pretended not to know.

I had no choice, Mom.

So what did she say?

Does she want to hold you responsible? Is that it?

You're killing me. Speak already.

I'll take responsibility for whatever I need to.

- Cheong Ah! - Mom.

That's not important to me.

It's just that she's so heartbroken.

Why is it not important? Your life depends on it.

Mom.

If she holds you responsible for aiding and abetting suicide,

do you think you can keep being a police officer?

It was so hard for you to get that job.

You struggled for years to become a police officer.

You'd be a fool if you give up on that.

Cheong Ah.

Get yourself out of that now.

You've suffered enough for 10 years.

You've paid enough of the price.

Mom.

I'll deal with it from now on.

If she resents, I'll be resented.

If she accuses, I'll take the blame.

So don't meet her from now on.

Okay?

Please just live your life now.

- Mom. - You seem tired now.

Get some rest.

It was so hot...

that he woke up...

and went for a swim and drowned.

An accident's better than suicide.

For both him and his mom.

His mom will never survive her son's suicide.

That will leave his mom...

in guilt and despair forever.

Tell me what you're hiding.

I won't tell the police.

There isn't anything.

We aren't hiding anything.

Your son passed away while trying to save my girl.

I'm deeply sorry for it,

but that's the truth, so you shouldn't do the autopsy.

Answer it. Just pick up.

Please pick up, Cheong Ah.

(Mr. Gu Jun Hwi)

Hang up the phone.

Just hang up.

Please hang up.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed...

Call me if you can't fall asleep.

I'll stay up and wait for your call.

I didn't know I'd come to want...

to hear you chatter on.

Let me hear your voice.

If you're not okay, don't be.

If you're sad, just feel sad.

You can just cry without saying anything.

Don't hold it all in by yourself and call me, okay?

I'm not sure I can do this, Cheong Ah.

I don't think I can stay a good memory for you.

Even if I end up giving you bad memories every day,

I want to stay by your side.

Even if I become a bad guy to everyone,

I still want to go back to you.

Is something bothering you?

Why can't you fall asleep?

It's nothing.

Cheong Ah also seemed depressed earlier.

Is something wrong?

I said it's nothing.

Just go to sleep.

It was really hard for me to get you guys.

You can't just spit out the sand and not the other stuff.

Why do mussels have beards like this?

You should try shaving. I can't get rid of all these.

So does that jerk debeard and wash the mussels to cook them every time?

And he's still in my woman's head.

When will you come off? When will you fall off of her?

Gosh, it really won't come off.

By the way...

Gosh, Seol Ah. You're not calling me just because I'm not?

She just left with a mouthful of sand.

But why hasn't she called or texted me for the past two days?

What? She had a mouthful of sand?

Why?

I was going to cook a great dish for her.

But it was just a sand pasta dish.

- Pasta? - My goodness.

Come on out.

Are you a stray cat or something? What were you doing there?

A rat was making a scene in my kitchen.

Why are you wearing an apron?

Have you even cooked cup noodles in your life?

We have Ms. Lee. Why would I?

What about you?

Why would I? I don't even eat cup noodles.

That's why I never got to try cup noodles growing up.

I just found out how good it is on a trip to Jungfrau.

While tourists were raving about the permanent snow on the mountain,

I was raving about the cup noodles instead.

You silly rascal.

You are just all talk.

If I knew how to do needlework,

I would've stitched up your lips first thing.

Can you not stitch either?

We have Ms. Lee here. Why would I do that?

By the way, did you two have a fight?

Did you feed the wench sand?

How much?

Do you think of him every single second of your life?

Do you only think about him while I'm trying this hard?

Can't you see me?

I'm trying my best.

I'm...

trying my best...

to get your heart back. Can't you see me doing that?

I'm sorry.

It must've been hard to make.

I should've just held myself back.

- I'll eat it. - Don't.

You shouldn't have to hold yourself back.

Hey, don't think of her.

Don't think of anything before I smack you in the head.

Now that you're wearing an apron,

why don't you cook for me?

I want to try my son's cooking.

I'll do that later, Mom. I just thought of something urgent.

What?

- Mom. - Yes.

- Please finish this. - Finish what?

- Debeard the mussels. - What?

Hey. You rascal!

Beard? A toothbrush?

What am I supposed to do with the toothbrush?

I can't do this. I just can't go that far.

I'm the one who wants her back,

but this isn't something I can do.

Why would kids these days do things like this...

instead of apologizing?

No.

Accept my apology.

He held out for two days.

I thought he'd rush right over.

Should I accept it or not?

He'll want to see me if I do.

(Accept my apology.)

You know, last night

You know, I guess I really messed up

I felt guilty for what I did as soon as I woke this morning

You know, all day long

You know, I've been regretting it all day

Even I think that I acted like a real jerk

Still, in my heart

You are my priority

For a while, I was out of my mind

I enjoyed the apology.

It's for you.

I'm the one who got dumped,

so why did you wail so much last night?

Thanks so much for crying with me.

I cried?

When did I cry. I only remember laughing out loud.

After laughing out loud...

You cried like that.

Don't be silly.

You clung to Mr. Baek like a koala...

and cried, asking him to take you home...

because you were scared.

And why did you peck at his neck so much?

Like a woodpecker.

- I did? - Yes.

Gosh. It's not because I like you, Mr. Baek.

I'm... Well...

That's what I do when I'm drunk.

Whenever I drink, I peck...

I peck at people's necks.

- Peck, peck... - Don't.

Forget about my neck.

Install a security grille on your window.

You live alone in a rooftop room and that's dangerous.

I was so worried I found it hard to leave.

Aren't you scared alone at night?

No, it's fine.

It's dangerous? He was worried?

Why would that man worry about me?

Does he perhaps...

Mr. Gu, thank you so much for dinner last night.

Where did you disappear to without a word to us?

But...

Thank you for calling back, Father.

I'm going to Seoul today to see someone.

Can we meet up?

Yes, of course.

Name a convenient place and I'll see you there.

Does your mother know we're meeting up?

No. I'd like to see you without her knowing.

Please do that for me, Father.

(Pixiu Mala Hongtang)

Can we have more toppings?

Coming right up.

I need to go to the toilet.

Oh, dear, ma'am. Are you all right?

Do I look all right to you?

Oh, dear.

My back.

Oh, dear, ma'am. Are you all right?

Your legs must've given in.

You should exercise whenever you can.

What?

You dropped these mushrooms on the floor.

I slipped on them,

and that's all you say to me?

My goodness.

This is unbelievable.

You told me so, Mr. Kim.

One more mistake from you and you'll quit.

- Get out of here. - Mr. Gong.

Why is that my mistake? It's the customer's.

Why did she slip on them when she has eyes to see?

This is...

really unfair.

I have nothing to say. I said leave.

Mr. Gong.

Welcome. A table for two?

- Yes. - This way, please.

What are you doing here?

Father.

What are you doing here, Father?

Why do you care what I do?

Wait, did you come here knowing I work here?

No. I came here to have mala soup.

I heard this place is famous.

Well, yes, it is a famous place.

- But eat somewhere else. - Mr. Kim.

The thing is...

The thing is, you can sit over here.

May I take a table, Father?

Eat somewhere else.

Mr. Kim. Will you stop doing that?

Mr. Gong, you see...

Very well, Father.

I guess I make you feel uncomfortable.

I'll order some food to go.

Is that okay?

You do that then.

How many portions would you like?

Will 50 servings be enough to feed everyone working overtime?

Did you say 50 servings?

Yes.

I think that will be enough, Vice Chairman.

Vice Chairman?

Father, I'll take that.

I'll get going then, Father.

- I don't care. - Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Enjoy the food and do come by again.

I will. Take good care of my father-in-law for me.

Of course, I will.

Goodbye, then.

Mr. Gong.

Thanks for everything.

What are you talking about, Mr. Kim?

It's not closing time yet.

You told me to quit and leave.

Oh, come on.

Can't a man even joke?

Come inside and prepare for the dinner rush.

Come along. It's cold.

Fine!

My gosh.

Mr. Gu Jun Hwi?

I'm the Gu Jun Hwi who called.

Here.

You look a lot like your mother.

Kang Si Wol?

Yes, he's the young man my mother is sponsoring.

Do you remember when she started sponsoring him?

Of course.

When was it?

Let me think.

It was right after the incident with her youngest son.

When was it again?

Was it really right after my brother's death?

Yes, she said she wanted to help someone else in his place.

Why do you ask though?

It's nothing, Father.

Was it you who connected my mother to Kang Si Wol...

as the beneficiary?

No, Judge Hong chose the boy herself.

On the day of the pastoral care at the prison,

she asked to be Si Wol's sponsor.

Is that so?

Could I...

possibly have his contact information?

There's something I need to ask, you see.

Please, Father.

Before I give it to you,

may I ask what this is about?

I want to know about my brother's death.

Gosh, old man. Even your taste is old-fashioned.

Why must you say that when you kindly brought this for me?

(Gu Jun Hwi, Inter Market)

Gu Jun Hwi.

Inter Market?

Why? Is it someone you know?

I met him a few times.

How do you know him?

He's the son of a known sponsor.

A sponsor to whom?

To many kids.

She's been supporting dozens of kids.

Why did you want to see me though?

I heard that you got fired again.

This can't keep happening.

But it wasn't my fault. I didn't cause the accident.

So you'll keep working part-time your whole life?

What else can someone with stinking luck do?

You're not someone without a speck of luck though.

Your sponsor wants to help you study abroad.

What?

That's out of the blue.

After hearing you were struggling to hold down a job,

she offered her help.

After all this time?

Why not? You can do whatever you wish now.

It's a great opportunity, so think it through.

Just forget it. I'm busy with something anyway.

What? Like what?

It's something you don't need to know about.

It's nothing bad.

Hold on.

Isn't this...

what you've been looking for?

Wait.

Where was this? I looked everywhere for it.

It was in the book you lent me.

That's you and your twin, right?

The extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held next week.

Really? What about Jin U?

He'll have heard by now.

You seriously wrote up my dismissal on the agenda?

Are you kidding me?

You thought I was bluffing?

Our personal life should not be brought to the office.

You're trying to dismiss me because I won't follow your orders?

How does that make sense?

Is Inter Market a neighborhood corner shop to you?

Well, you're not even worthy of a corner shop.

All you do is pine after some girl.

You have no business being the vice chairman.

Grandfather only laid down the foundations.

I'm the one who made Inter Market what it is today.

I'm the one who put the silver spoon in your mouth,

but you think it was all due to your competence.

You never had to fight for your title...

like the sons at Osan Group...

and your life was never threatened like the sons at K Group.

The same can be said about you.

How can you know better when you started off as a chairman?

Aunt Yu Ra just gave up the title for you.

That's enough. I'm using this chance to finally...

make you grovel once and for all.

You still don't know how cruel the world can be.

Is it Seol Ah or your position at the company?

You have until this week to decide.

- Got it? - Mom!

Ma'am, you know how rational Mr. Do is.

Of course he'll choose his position at the company.

Won't you?

You can't see me, can you?

Right now, I can't either.

I hope we do when spring comes though.

- Who are you talking to? - Gosh.

Why were you talking to yourself?

It's not like there's even a sprout.

Were you talking to the soil?

What do you mean there's nothing there?

A whole universe in there.

Nameless microorganisms and bacteria are working hard.

A sweet flower is growing inside too.

A flower? What kind of flower?

That's for you to guess.

You said you two would meet in spring,

so it must be a spring flower.

Which flowers bloom in the spring?

Actually, I'll come by in the spring to see what it is myself.

I'm going to date him for just a month.

I wish to say goodbye so that he can finally get over me.

You thought well.

There are many things I feel bad about.

I received a lot too.

I'm still labeled as his wife,

and I want that gone.

I wish to forgive him from the bottom of my heart...

and let him go.

"Forgiving someone..."

"isn't about showing that person mercy."

"It's about you collecting yourself from a state of disorder."

The Venerable Beopjeong said so.

Anyway, what brings you by?

I'm meeting someone here.

The other person wanted to meet me here.

It's not even during business hours,

so how are you meeting that person here?

(Resolution for Dismissal)

(Name: Do Jin U)

("Non-possession")

Hello, Ms. Yun.

This is Chef Mun Tae Rang.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Producer Yun Jin Soo of "Kim Seol Ah's Four Seasons".

What?

Kim Seol Ah's Thinking Time and Season.

I was assigned to the show without any time to think.

Have a seat.

What about Ms. Park from the other day?

She got fired...

because you insisted you wouldn't take the job.

What?

I was joking.

She was appointed to a branch in Daejeon yesterday.

I see.

I heard you're confident in your looks,

so I made up my mind to get you onboard no matter what.

Our show does a visual radio show once a week.

You're very handsome.

That was only a joke.

I'll come here every day until you accept my offer.

Or I could just work from here.

Never mind. I should just hold meetings here.

I hate eating at the broadcasting station anyway,

so I can enjoy delicious food and hold meetings here.

Catching 2 birds with 1 stone.

Don't you agree, Ms. Kim?

I don't know about the other stuff, but I do know the food here is good.

Hey.

There might be a traffic jam.

- Let's hurry. - Okay.

The kids like braised galbi,

so I made a lot of it. That took some time.

We couldn't finish all the jeon last year.

- Should I stop making it now? - No.

It doesn't go bad easily, so make enough while you're at it.

I like seeing the kids,

but part of me wishes that I don't see them.

It'd be good if they get adopted and spend their holiday with family.

I think the same.

The director said that Hyun Soo...

was adopted to a nice family.

- Alone? - Yes, that's what I heard.

That's good news,

but he must feel sad. He has a twin.

Hello, Madam Chairwoman.

Yes?

To eat tteokguk?

What? The chairwoman wants her to come for tteokguk.

She must have so much faith in Hae Rang.

Give me a moment, madam.

How can you look so pretty even in that cheap hanbok?

I'm the Kim Seol Ah, you know. I've still got it.

You're the Kim Seol Ah, indeed.

Did you wear hanbok, give New Year's bows to elders,

and get cash gifts in that conglomerate family too?

I bet it was the same.

What difference could they have?

I bet it wasn't. Their cash gifts must've been on another level.

Was it 10,000 dollars? Or 20,000?

Well, I received buildings, stocks, and stuff.

Gosh, and you gave all that up?

If you possess a lot, it means you're much entangled.

The Venerable Beopjeong said so.

What? I'll be fine even if I'm entangled like crazy.

I just want to have a lot in my possession.

I'm just so happy to be home.

But why aren't our parents coming out?

(Jerk)

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

All right. Our eldest daughter.

Brush off the jerk for good this year.

Make a new start.

I hope you do well with your career too.

I'm already doing well with my career.

I was offered to host an afternoon show.

What? You brat.

Why are you telling us this good news now?

So you two are in a happy mood on Lunar New Year's Day.

This is great.

I was worried that you had to go to work in the cold at dawn.

Cheong Ah, you achieved your goal after failing 14 times.

Don't ever be swayed.

Keep up the good work. I'm counting on you.

Okay, Mom.

Dear Yeon Ah, I hope you win a championship this year.

Let's see.

This is for our eldest daughter.

Dad.

This is for our second daughter.

Lastly, our youngest daughter.

Dad, I...

I won't take it.

What?

You worked your butt off to earn this money.

Hey, you brat. I didn't work my butt off.

I'm a successful part-timer.

Take it.

Dad...

You're still acting like a child, you brat.

I heard you like sweet rice.

I made some although I'm not so good at it.

You mean you made this yourself?

Didn't you buy it from the market?

It almost looks like an expert's cooking.

It looks good,

but the taste isn't great because it's my first time.

It doesn't have to be delicious. What matters is your sincerity.

That wench used to buy all the food from professional cooks.

Then should I learn how to cook from them?

Sure, I'll introduce you to them.

That's a good idea.

Cook for Jin U later.

Pretty wives last three years,

but wives who can cook last 30 years.

Jin U is a picky eater, you know.

When we went on business trips together,

he was very picky about food, which always bothered me.

That's when I started learning how to cook.

I see.

Please try some although it's embarrassing.

I was lonely alone. I'm glad you're here.

Stay here all day today. Shall we go to a spa?

I'd love that.

But did the vice chairman go somewhere?

I don't know.

He left early in the morning. I haven't seen him today.

Wait. Could he...

have gone to those cockroaches?

(Eldest Daughter)

Why should I accept your bow?

Mother, please have a seat.

Come on.

Mother and Father. I wish you all the best in the new year.

And please adore your eldest son-in-law.

New Year's bow, my foot. Whatever.

Happy New Year.

Father.

Will you give me a cash gift for the bow?

What... Father, are you really giving me a cash gift?

(Jerk)

I'll be a good guy instead of a jerk this year.

Hello?

Is Jin U there?

Tell him to come home right away.

Why don't you call him yourself?

I can't because he turned his phone off.

Do you think I'm calling you because I want to?

I think you know him better.

He won't go home just because you tell him to do so.

Do you want me to go over and make a fuss...

before you send him home?

Don't you dare do that again.

What did you say?

Don't you dare insult my parents again.

Then you'll see what I can do to you.

What are you going to do about it?

I guess you don't know because you don't have a daughter.

No matter how docile they are, daughters will never...

tolerate someone who insults their parents.

They fight even risking their own lives.

Do you understand?

If you come here and make a scene again,

you will see me fight to the death.

How dare you threaten me like that?

I'm hanging up.

Hey. Hello?

My gosh.

How dare she hang up on me?

What? Risk your life?

How dare you...

(Yeouido Patrol Division)

Yes. Okay. It's Unit 403, Cheil Apartments, right?

Okay. We will be right there.

What was that?

- It was a noise complaint. - Goodness.

I was wondering why it was so quiet for the holidays.

Can't people just drink in moderation?

Officer Oh, let's go.

Officer Kim, I'll see you later.

Okay. See you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Unit 403, Cheil Apartments, Yeoui 1-dong.

Finished.

Magpie, magpie, yesterday was

Magpie's New Year's Day

But today is

Our New Year's Day

Darn it.

Officer Kim, let me stay here.

Arrest me.

Stop interfering with my duties.

Get out.

I just hate

New Year's Day so much

Darn it.

Now add a noise violation.

What are you waiting for? Arrest me.

This song has four verses. Do you know that?

I sang it a lot as a kid.

Why?

I kept singing the song at the orphanage...

hoping that my parents might come.

I lied to my sister...

that they would come if we kept singing the song.

I won't interfere with your duty, so get back to your work.

This drunk civilian will...

get lost after a nap.

Do you have a sister?

Hey, Si Wol. Take this.

Get some sleep until I get off my shift...

and get out quietly.

Officer Kim.

Take this.

What's with the sweet red-bean bread?

It's very precious.

I wanted to eat it so much that I even stole one when I was five.

That was my first theft.

I don't give that to just anyone.

What are you, Jean Valjean?

Was Jean Valjean beaten up too?

I got beaten up until I passed out that day.

Enjoy it, Officer Kim.

I came because I didn't want to be alone.

Thank you for letting me stay here.

Tell that Jean Valjean to have a happy new year.

And let that little kid out this year.

Don't make him stay in your memory where he gets beaten up.

What?

Happy New Year.

Judge Hong chose the boy herself.

On the day of the pastoral care at the prison,

she asked to be Si Wol's sponsor.

The prison?

Why did he receive a criminal trial...

instead of a juvenile trial?

It is stated in the sentencing.

He was sentenced to Juvenile Hall for 1 month, 6 months, and 2 years.

Kang Si Wol.

Was that boy Kang Si Wol?

What is this?

It's the sentencing of the hit-and-run accident.

I got it printed at the courthouse like you said.

What were you like when you were 19?

What's with the sudden cannibalism?

I did steal a car,

but I didn't cause the hit-and-run accident.

I'm saying this because I didn't.

You wanted to see who the public defender was.

Why are you reading the sentencing?

What?

"Hong Yu Ra's statement?"

What?

What is this?

(Hong Yu Ra's statement)

I've never seen or heard of it before.

Officer Kim, do you know who she is?

"And my mother..."

"makes three?"

Why? Do you know her?
