- Mom! - Mom!

(Episode 3)

- Mom... - Oh, no.

Mom, no way!

You said it's a murder case.

Does that mean someone killed our mom?

We won't know until we investigate.

You'll all have to be questioned,

so don't go out of town.

Be at the police station when you're summoned.

Does that include me?

I only met her once prior to our marriage.

No exceptions.

But it wasn't me.

You're not the only one who's innocent.

An investigation? What does that mean?

It means we're all suspects.

- Gwang Nam. - Gwang Nam!

This is impossible. How could this have happened?

Who did this?

Who did this to our mom?

I think I know who it is.

Who the killer is.

Who?

Dad.

When the detective said Mom was murdered,

he's the first one that I suspected.

Same here.

Who has much to gain from Mom's death?

Our poor mom.

She couldn't even get her divorce.

I won't forgive whoever did this.

Even if it's our dad.

Never.

Cheol Soo.

Bong Ja.

Where have you been this late at night?

I went to my shop to see if the fish were well covered.

What about you?

I went to see if the rain was pouring into the construction site.

I see.

- I'll see you then. - Okay. Bye, Bong Ja.

Why are you so surprised?

Why are you standing there without making a sound?

I just got here. I wasn't standing here.

What's with the shovel?

You said you needed a shovel.

Why did you bring it on a day like this?

Why?

What's wrong about a day like today?

I just brought it on my way here.

On your way here?

I have something to tell you.

Are you going somewhere?

I was on my way to your place.

Come in.

You don't need a shovel.

What are you talking about?

So...

are you accusing me of killing my sister?

You can be honest with me.

Are you sure you went to your shop that night?

Then are you sure you went to the construction site?

Are you suspecting me now?

You are the most suspicious one here.

There's no way I can do such a thing.

I can't even cut off a fish head or cut fish into pieces like you.

I cut off a fish head, but that does not mean I can do that to people.

Gosh, you sound just like me.

Do you know that you're hurting my feelings?

It's no wonder why Maeng Ja didn't want to live with you.

What?

I'm sorry. I made a slip of tongue.

Tell me the truth.

There are no other suspects. It's either you or me.

It's not me.

- Wasn't it you? - Darn it.

You can't accuse me. This is wrong.

I understand you.

If I were you, I would've wanted to do the same thing.

She worried you for over 40 years.

Then she won over the kids and filed a lawsuit.

She even had an affair with a guy who's younger than her.

Who wouldn't go crazy?

I wanted to, but I didn't.

This is wrong. Just wrong!

And it wasn't me.

I thought it was you, so I came here to get our story straight.

I was going to say that you were with me that night.

Any chance his wife did it?

Oh, right.

When I saw her cry in the ER, she seemed to love her husband a lot.

That's why she wanted to kill Maeng Ja even more.

Bong Ja.

Are you sure it wasn't you?

And it wasn't you?

Mr. Lee Cheol Soo. You know why we are here.

- Stop. - Mr. Lee Cheol Soo.

Stop right there.

Don't follow me.

- Lee Cheol Soo! - Catch him.

Over there. Catch him.

You're under arrest for the murder of Oh Maeng Ja.

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

- This isn't right. - Against the disadvantageous...

I didn't do it.

No! I didn't do it. It wasn't me.

No! It's not me!

Hello?

Mr. Lee Cheol Soo. This is the police station.

We need you to come right away.

Okay. Wait, detective.

I have a favor to ask you.

(Dongseo Police Station)

(Money, resentment, affair)

It won't be simple.

I'm back.

What about Oh Maeng Ja and her paramour's phones?

There's no trace of them.

No trace of them?

The signal died near the hospital.

But both phones disappeared at the same time.

I guess someone picked up the phones...

while the bodies were moved.

But the ER staff and the families don't know where the phones are.

They say they were too busy to care about the phones.

Did someone pick up the phones and sell them?

Investigations these days are all about phones and CCTV footage.

We're in trouble.

Look. Over there.

Detective.

I didn't ask you to come.

Did you catch the killer yet?

That soon? How impetuous.

Now that you're here, I'd like you to get questioned.

Okay.

Are you Ms. Oh Maeng Ja's daughters?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Names? - Lee Gwang Nam.

Lee Gwang Sik.

Lee Gwang Tae.

Lee Gwang Nam?

Lee Gwang Sik?

Lee Gwang Tae?

I know they are not common names.

It's not like we catch criminals by their names.

But you need to be questioned separately.

That night, the three of us were together.

Did your mother have any problems...

about money, resentment, or love affairs?

- Love affairs? - The guy who was in the same car.

What are you talking about?

Did you see them having an affair?

Gwang Nam.

He's just a guy my mom knows.

Getting in the same car doesn't mean an affair.

Please watch what you are saying.

My mom would never do such a thing.

What do you think of my mom?

Please tell them he's just someone she knows.

If my daughters find out, they will cave in.

Please.

I'm just asking because we have to consider all possibilities.

Then did she have any problems with money?

It's not about money.

She did have a money problem with you.

I just lent her some money.

- Did she pay you back? - Yes.

Tell him the truth. She didn't.

Did you do that to her because she didn't pay you back?

What are you talking about?

Why would I do that for money?

That's absurd.

And why did you say something useless like that?

We will find out anyway after the investigation.

Is it true that you were together the day before the accident?

- Yes. - Did you come up with a story?

- No, why would we do that? - No, why would we do that?

They say things simultaneously.

They're being like this when they didn't get things straight?

Then is there anyone you have reasonable suspicion against?

- Yes. - Yes.

It's not just suspicion. I'm sure it's him.

There's only one person.

It's our dad.

Your dad?

There has been no love lost between them.

My mom wanted a divorce, but my dad refused it.

So my mom filed a suit.

They were in the process of divorce.

Why did he refuse it? Is that because of money?

You have such a good hunch.

Mom asked for a division of property, but Dad didn't want to.

So Mom left home and filed a suit for divorce.

She even left home.

You mean she ran away.

Why do you keep saying useless things?

It's not that she ran away.

They were just separated during the divorce suit.

It's pretty much the same.

And who else?

Is there anyone you are suspicious of?

Who is it?

Auntie Bong Ja.

Auntie Bong Ja?

You mean Oh Maeng Ja's second sister, Oh Bong Ja?

And she's your dad's sister-in-law.

Right. Auntie hated Mom.

And Auntie and Dad bullied Mom together.

Bullied her?

It wasn't bullying. I mean, Auntie and Dad got along well.

I get it. Take a look at this.

- It's Dad. - It's Dad.

Are you sure? How can you recognize him when he's rarely seen?

How could we not recognize our own family?

I thought it was strange that he held the funeral only for two days.

Gosh, my heart is pounding.

I can't believe this.

He threatened to make Mom pay,

that he'd kill her, then take his own life.

You're here.

Oh, dear.

Hello.

I didn't know you were here.

You can go for now.

Don't try to come up with a story.

Later on,

you might have to fend for yourself.

We were together that night, all along.

Detective. Please help us.

Find the killer.

So our poor mom can rest in peace.

Catch the killer, whatever it takes.

Please, detective.

Sit over here, Mr. Lee Cheol Soo.

Your mask is too...

Is your face huge or the mask tiny?

Detective.

Can I have a drink of water?

How did we end up like this?

It's because of Dad.

Was it really him?

Detective. Will this be all over the news soon?

Of course.

It has all the things to get people interested.

"A woman killed under the guise of a car accident."

"The husband she had sued for divorce..."

"is arrested as the most likely suspect."

"All three daughters name their dad as the suspect."

"What is this family's secret?"

Journalists love a story like this.

Don't let this end up on the news.

It can't be helped if I'm mentioned,

but I'm worried for my daughters.

They have long lives ahead of them.

If they end up on the news...

They don't care about you at all.

They all named you as the killer.

Children will never understand how a parent feels, even in death.

Parents don't know how their children feel either.

Times have changed drastically.

I've been investigating violent crimes for 15 years,

and families aren't the same these days.

Many parents kill their children,

and many children kill their parents.

Do you know how many parents, children,

siblings, and spouses are killed for money?

To be honest, what's on the news is less than a tenth.

Let's get back to our story.

Where were we?

Right. When did you realize your wife was having an affair?

It has been a while.

So you decided to kill them before your daughters found out?

No.

Did you tell my daughters?

I asked and they almost freaked out.

They said there's no way she'd cheat.

The girls don't know their mother was having an affair.

Can you keep that from them?

I don't think you should be caring about the dead's honor.

You're the most likely suspect.

It's not about honor.

Their futures and reputations are at stake.

You don't have to tell them that, do you?

I must tell them if the investigation requires.

I've seen children sign a petition for leniency...

even though their father was the culprit,

but I've never seen children name their father as the killer.

How nasty were you to them that they're all like this?

The reason you don't want them to know the truth.

Isn't it because you fear they will see you for the fool you are?

You couldn't handle your wife...

or act like a responsible head of household.

Are you ashamed and guilty of that?

Mr. Lee. Did you change your mind?

Are you ready to make a confession?

It's not that.

I feel so sorry for myself and my miserable life.

I was too busy making money that...

I honestly wasn't aware of how my wife and daughters were doing.

I knew my wife was badmouthing...

and disregarding me to the girls,

but I didn't know the rift was this big.

They won't listen to or believe anything I say.

I slaved away all my life,

and eventually, my wife betrayed me.

Now my daughters belittle me,

and I'm a police station being treated like a killer.

I'm so angry and it's all so unfair that I can't help but cry.

If your kids gang up on you at once with such determination,

that would be scary.

You're not wrong.

Now that they're grown up, they scare me.

A penniless dad isn't even a dad.

They even sound like their mom.

When the four of them gang up on me at once,

to be honest, even my heart trembles.

Even I'd feel scared.

Is that why you killed them.

I didn't kill them. I can't kill anyone.

Look at this.

That darn black plastic bag.

- That's you, isn't it? - It's not.

Your daughters said it's you as soon as they saw it.

Don't you have clothes like that?

I don't.

I met my brother-in-law in the alley that night.

What did you do the night before the accident?

Sung Dae.

I talked to the site manager.

Mr. Lee Cheol Soo was to be on duty that night,

but he's not able to confirm if he was...

at the site that night or not.

I was there.

I blocked up a leak they had.

You can check that.

Check that and question all the neighbors.

Okay.

Give me your phone.

- Pardon? - Your phone. Hand it in.

Do I have to give you my phone?

Why?

Is there something on it that I can't see?

No.

I'm letting you off today because you're not well.

Come right in when I call next time.

Okay.

This.

What's the passcode?

There isn't one.

(Call history)

Mr. Bae, you have a visitor.

Hey.

Ms. Shin. What brings you here?

Are you busy?

I dropped by to say goodbye.

I'm closing the diner for a while.

Is something wrong?

It's just...

I'll take a year or so off.

Too bad. Where should I go to eat now?

I'm not bothered about anything else,

but I am worried that I can't cook for you now.

Can we take a photo as a souvenir?

What? Oh, I guess.

Here.

A phone?

I didn't see one.

It wasn't among his belongings when I got them back.

It's true.

Oh, dear.

Please find out and catch whoever killed my husband.

Do you suspect anyone?

I think the woman's husband is acting suspiciously.

Earlier, when he left the police station,

he just ran off.

- He ran off? - Yes.

Hey. Look at this.

Darn it!

Lee Cheol Soo.

Lee Cheol Soo!

I'm at the bus terminal.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm not in the best of state,

so I was hoping to get some fresh air.

You must be feeling down.

I am too, so I can only imagine.

You must want to end your life in a way,

but don't give in to that urge.

Cheol Soo, run.

Run!

What?

- Detective Park, run after him. - Got it.

Darn it!

Stop right there!

Get back here.

- Han Dol Se. - Don't move.

Get him!

(Seoul, Gangwon)

Lee Cheol Soo.

You're under arrest for the murder of Oh Maeng Ja.

You have the right to an attorney...

and to remain silent.

You may also refuse to answer questions.

Why did you kill her?

I didn't.

Then why did you run away?

I wasn't running away. It was to just get some fresh air.

By going where?

Well, anywhere.

It turns out...

that you threatened Oh Maeng Ja...

the day before you were supposed to meet in court.

"Do you think you can get away with this?"

"You're in for a surprise."

I meant I was going to teach her a lesson in court.

You threatened her life too, right?

I was that mad.

She's been refusing to meet me...

after sending over the divorce papers.

So you wanted to kill her out of spite.

Yes!

Of course, I wanted her dead.

I would've killed her 100 times over if I could.

It's true that I hated her, and I wanted her dead.

Is that why you killed her?

I didn't!

I only did so in my imagination.

Why are you suddenly speaking in a dialect?

I tend to when I'm angry!

It happens automatically?

Do you have a split personality?

I was born in Chungcheong Province.

I dropped out of a university in Seoul...

and practiced my Seoul dialect so that I could become...

a teacher one day. Is that all?

Of course not.

Why am I the only one being questioned?

Did you look into the boyfriend's family?

She has a foolproof alibi...

and her bank accounts, as well as her phone, are squeaky clean.

Their marriage was solid too.

They weren't going through a divorce like another couple I know.

There's no reason to suspect her.

And how can you be sure of that?

We have our ways.

Is there definite proof?

We'll be following up with her.

I don't get who's in the hot seat right now.

Why do you think the victim died?

You said it was a car accident.

A punctured tire, right?

The punctured tire was never disclosed.

But I heard it somewhere.

Who's Han Dol Se?

Dol Se?

He's a hometown friend.

You're close, right?

We grew up together in the same home,

so we're just as good as brothers. Why do you ask?

Did you ask him to puncture her tire?

Of course not.

But you see, a recent deposit was made...

to his account.

Wasn't it payment for puncturing the tire?

That's not the case.

Ask Dol Se to come here!

The detectives must be investigating, right?

Probably.

They'll be questioning us too.

It's not one of us though, is it?

Gwang Sik.

Don't be ridiculous.

- Gwang Tae. - Seriously?

All right. Let's not suspect one another.

But what if Dad didn't do it?

Then Aunt Bong Ja?

No way.

They could be accomplices.

Follow me.

Sure.

Let me go, will you?

Come on.

Cheol Soo!

What's with the punctured tire and the money you were wired?

I won't let you agree on a story.

As if we'd ever do that.

It's like being struck by lightning in our sleep.

The fortune-teller told me I'd be met with bad luck this year.

How insightful.

- When did you go there? - Early this year.

There's this old lady who is possessed by a spirit of a kid.

Are you interested?

We can go to her together sometime.

I was asking about when you went to the crime scene.

I never went there.

Lee Cheol Soo told you to puncture the victim's tire.

No way.

I never did such a thing, and he didn't ask me to either.

Then why did you run away?

Because detectives chased after me.

Who runs from detectives when they did nothing wrong?

We do, you know. Don't you?

Mr. Han, where were you on the night before she died?

It was stormy.

I was asleep.

What else would I be doing at night?

Can you prove that?

How can one prove being asleep at night...

when you live alone?

Only me and my house know the truth.

I hear you're as close as brothers.

We are.

I may not actually die if he tells me to,

but I'd be willing to.

So he asked you to puncture the tire and you did.

Seriously? Why are you going on and on about a punctured tire?

You've got to be kidding me.

I don't know how to puncture a tire...

or repair one for that matter.

I'm no expert when it comes to tires.

I might've dug a huge hole in my life,

but never in a car's tire.

But there's proof.

- Detective Kim. - Sure.

Isn't this you, Mr. Han?

Goodness. I found my doppelganger.

One might mistake him for me.

Even I'd believe that's me.

Fine, it's me,

but why was I there?

Only you'd know that.

Why were you there?

Be honest with me. Was it you?

That's me in the video,

but I didn't puncture the tire. I was just looking.

You went to scout the place...

so that you wouldn't any mistakes that night.

Are you kidding me?

Cheol Soo, say something. Why would I do such a thing?

Why did you do it?

What do you mean?

I was only there to see the car.

Just to see the car?

You suddenly felt the urge to look at her car?

Honestly speaking, I wanted to do what I could...

so that Cheol Soo wouldn't have to suffer.

Cheol Soo, can I say it?

Say what?

I have no choice. I was going to keep it a secret,

but I'll just tell them.

Tell them what?

Watch your mouth, darn it.

Don't, Mr. Lee.

Mr. Han, go ahead.

I'm sorry, Cheol Soo.

His wife was having an affair.

I told her to end it numerous times, but she wouldn't listen.

Cheol Soo was going to be humiliated in front of a judge,

so I was hoping to gather evidence and show it in court myself.

Why would you do such a thing?

His wife wouldn't listen...

which probably got you mad enough to want to kill her.

Of course!

Why on earth did I just say?

I may have dug myself into a grave,

but I'm not one to easily kill people.

But Mr. Lee is someone you're loyal to.

"Dol Se, I need your help."

"Could you sacrifice yourself just this once?"

His words could've moved you.

Are you kidding me?

My life is most important to me,

so why would I give it up for someone else?

Would you, detective?

Cheol Soo, tell them how selfish I can be.

I'm no Hwang Mang Tae.

What was that?

He said, "I'm no Hwang Mang Tae."

Who's Hwang Mang Tae?

- There's this guy. - Did he order it?

Unbelievable.

Mr. Han, you have three priors related to fraud.

You were lucky enough to only get probation.

Luck was actually against me.

I testified on behalf of another...

but got dragged in as an accomplice.

Where did you get the 5,000 dollars?

What 5,000 dollars?

We checked your bank account, and you were wired 5,000 dollars...

a few days before the incident.

It was from Mr. Lee, wasn't it?

Did you give me 5,000 dollars?

As if I have that kind of money.

See? He's an old man nearly in his 70s...

who doesn't even have 5,000 dollars to spare.

Where did that money come from then?

- Someone gave it to me. - Who?

I can't say.

Tell them!

Your silence is only making them suspicious of me.

Mr. Han, you don't have an alibi for that night.

Oh, dear.

The 5,000 dollars you received...

and scouting the place beforehand...

are evidence of a solicited murder...

which is why you'll be arrested.

You've got to be kidding me.

This is absurd!

Cheol Soo, my gosh.

Wait. It's not us.

- Let us go right now! - Open the door.

- Come back here. - It wasn't me.

- I shouldn't be in here. - Let me out of here.

Auntie.

What are you all doing here?

Where are you headed?

Could you perhaps be running away?

As if.

I'm headed to a sauna to relieve my headache.

What's in that bag?

My underwear, shampoo, among other things.

What is it?

Anyone would find this suspicious.

No one goes to saunas anymore due to the pandemic.

Oh, right. Gosh, how silly of me.

We should head inside.

You think I killed her?

Unbelievable. How could you accuse me?

I had to close my store early today...

because my hands were still trembling from the shock.

Sorry, Auntie. We're not accusing just you, but...

It just doesn't make any sense.

It's either us three, Dad, or you.

Why would you limit the suspect pool like that?

Who else, then?

Does someone cross your mind?

Can you believe this?

You haven't been in lockup before, have you?

How can I face my ancestors ever again?

As if that's the issue right now.

Talk about a cursed life.

Helping someone else got me arrested for fraud,

and now I'm being accused...

of being an accomplice in a murder case.

Dear, gosh.

Then tell me the truth.

Where did you get the money? Why did you puncture her tire?

I didn't puncture her tire.

Gosh, I'm close to leaking. What do I do?

But you just came back from the restroom.

I said leaking, not peeing.

Aren't you educated enough...

to know the difference between the two?

Peeing is controllable,

but leaking urine is an involuntary action.

Even the sight of a police station gets me this way,

so how can I keep it in when I'm in a holding cell?

Has that prostate medicine helped with your condition?

As if.

I wake up to pee several times in the middle of the night.

Why did you seek her car out and what's with the money?

Be honest with me.

Was this your doing?

No.

Then why did you go by where her car was parked?

To help you, of course.

Tell them about the money then.

It'll at least get us out of here.

I can't.

I won't even if someone points two daggers at my throat.

You'd rather let us be framed for murder instead?

What other choice do we have?

My gosh.

Just pee for crying out loud.

But I can't. Not when I put my mind to it.

Being in a police station messes with my bladder!

Unbelievable.

Gosh.

What do you think?

He has a severe prostate issue.

What?

Questioning them separately will get us somewhere.

- Let's start with Han Dol Se. - Sure.

Auntie definitely knows something.

Gwang Nam, you have the detective's phone number.

Call him and ask if there's any progress.

Is this Detective Seo Sung Dae? This is Lee Gwang Nam.

The oldest daughter of Oh Maeng Ja, the murder victim.

Is there any progress?

What?

All right.

See?

Dad is the killer.

Why did you kill Mom?

Bring her back!

Was it really you?

It wasn't, right? Tell me it wasn't you.

Bring her back!

Oh, no. Our poor mom.

She'll be too angry to rest in peace!

- Gwang Nam! - Mom...

This is not the place.

Besides, he's innocent until proven guilty...

which means nothing is set in stone.

Now, head back home.

That reminds me.

The autopsy is over and Ms. Oh's body has been returned to you.

You may proceed with the funeral.

- Mom! - Mom!

- Mom... - Mom.

- Mom! - Our poor mom!

- Mom! - Mom!

- Mom... - Mom!

- No! - Mom...

The call can't be connected. You will be directed to voicemail.

What did your daughters say?

Although, I can probably guess.

How is it that none take after you?

They're all just as wild as their mother.

Cheol Soo, your son-in-law.

- What son-in-law? - You have only one son-in-law.

I didn't know that.

(Lawfirm New Peace, Lawyer Bae Byeon Ho)

I'm Lee Cheol Soo's lawyer, Bae Byeon Ho.

About the money.

I got it from my first son for a reason.

It was to thank me for having raised him and left.

I was going to burn it up,

but I thought I'd need it someday, so I put it in my bank account.

I was too embarrassed to say that to Cheol Soo.

I never thought things would get so complicated.

(HM Bank, bank statements)

It's the bank statements of Han Dol Se's first son, Han Bae Seul...

that I got by fax.

There's no evidence of crime or solicitation of murder.

You arrested him without a warrant when there was no evidence.

That's coercive investigation which is illegal.

I won't let it slide.

Are they crazy? Why would they release him?

They have to keep him there and interrogate him.

What kind of a killer confesses his crime immediately?

Whose side are you on?

Then who is going to reveal the truth about my mom's case?

I don't know!

Let's go.

The five-day rotation system for purchasing of face masks...

takes effect starting from today.

For those who can't visit a pharmacy like children and the old,

their family can buy masks in case they have required documents.

The most important thing about the five-day rotation system...

is the last digit of the year of your birth.

How could you possibly eat ramyeon right now?

I'm eating this to take my pills.

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

What about us? We haven't eaten anything either.

I'm not eating.

What are you doing here?

Proxy purchases were available only for the disabled...

Be honest with us.

You may be able to get around the law, but not us.

It doesn't take much time to get my life ruined.

I'm solely to blame for everything.

I'm sorry you have to go through all this.

You guys are victims, and I'm also...

You are the assailant.

Don't roll your eyes. I can see the white of your eyes.

It's not like all families get along well and love each other.

You lost your mom all of a sudden,

and your dad is accused of murder.

I know you guys are having a hard time.

Don't even say that you know how we feel.

When did you ever try to understand our feelings?

I admit that I wasn't a good father.

I'll make it up to you over time.

Gwang Sik and Gwang Tae, move back home.

It will do you no good to spread it in the neighborhood.

I guess you're afraid of rumors.

It's no wonder. You're the eldest son who only cares about honor.

I'll have my sisters stay with me.

I'll just stay with Gwang Nam.

I'm afraid of you.

What?

You're the suspect.

I'm so scared that I can't live with you.

Do you really think I did it?

That darn wench.

What on earth did she do?

How could she leave just like this?

Don't blame Mom.

I'm not blaming her.

You guys didn't do anything wrong.

I want to be alone. I want you to leave.

We're cutting ties with you Dad.

Let's go.

Do you guys agree with her?

Yes. Get up.

Gwang Sik. Gwang Tae.

I said let's go.

Answer me.

Gwang Sik, wait.

I'm worried about you.

You didn't even have the wedding yet.

You already registered your marriage.

It's all my fault.

If I could give you some money to buy the house,

you wouldn't have had to register your marriage.

Why did you do that?

If you got divorced when Mom asked,

none of this would've happened.

I'm also regretting it a lot now.

I should've gotten a divorce.

I can't bear to see you like this.

Wait, Gwang Sik...

(Pharmacy)

Did you stop by yesterday? You said you'd never see me again.

I don't want to see you,

but I'm doing this because of Mom's will.

You weren't home yesterday. Did you go somewhere?

None of your business.

- Are you worried about me? - No way.

It's a mess because of the COVID-19. Don't wander around.

Why would I wander around? I'm hanging up.

Wait. The five-day rotation system starts this week.

Make sure to buy masks on time. You can buy two a week.

I can't buy them for you. You should get them yourself.

The date of your birth...

It's good that you got it.

Try not to go out.

Wash your hands thoroughly and remember social distancing.

I put strawberries in the fridge.

Hello?

That punk.

Who does he take after?

Did you hear that? Gwang Sik's wedding is canceled.

I heard her mother passed away in a car accident.

I found it strange that she didn't get us the obituary notice.

The thing is...

It's a murder case. Her father is the killer.

- My goodness. - No way.

That was on the news.

Gwang Sik's future in-laws found that out...

and called off the wedding.

They have to call it off.

But she already registered her marriage.

Then it's a divorce.

That's too bad. She's getting divorced without getting married.

How pitiful.

She tried so hard to seduce a guy who's five years younger.

She doesn't look that way, but she's quite coy.

I know.

That's really creepy.

What?

Let's just get married.

We already sent out wedding invitations and registered marriage.

I'm now in mourning for my mom.

- Didn't your parents say anything? - I didn't tell them.

She still thinks we're getting married as planned.

Did you not tell them that my mom passed away?

It's not a good thing.

Let's just get married.

Just for me.

Why?

Yesterday, you just said you wouldn't.

You must be doing this for a reason.

That's because of the money gifts.

What?

They need the money for my sister's business.

Her shopping mall is about to go down.

You are impossible.

All your family is insane.

And I'm crazy that I was going to marry you knowing all that.

Have the wedding ceremony on your own or whatever.

Just this one. Please do this for me.

I have to get married.

Please help my family this once.

We already invited all the people. What can I do?

Will you get yourself together?

I'll see you at the wedding hall tomorrow, Gwang Sik.

You know what I mean.

My gosh.

(Korea National Red Cross)

Who are you?

Mr. Lee Cheol Soo? We're from the public health center.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

I took a sleeping pill.

What's the matter?

Mr. Hong Geum Bo who worked with you has COVID-19.

As you had close contact with him,

you must be quarantined for two weeks.

Come into the center tomorrow to get tested,

and here are the instructions that you must follow.

All that you need are in here.

If you have any questions, call the health center,

and you cannot come outside.

- But I... - Stay there. Bye.

Hey, call her.

She won't pick up?

The receiver cannot be reached. Please call again.

Why isn't anyone else here?

Hi.

I'm at the airport.

The airport?

Where are you going when COVID-19 is everywhere?

I don't know where I'll go.

Some countries banned visitors,

so I'll go wherever I can.

Watch out for the virus.

Goodbye.

Why would you say goodbye?

Where can you go, Gwang Sik?

Hello? Gwang Sik! My goodness.

You cannot come outside.

(1 year later)

This too.

They must be peeled.

(Witness Appeal, 11:51pm on March 2, 2020)

(Witness Appeal, 11:51pm on March 2, 2020)

We need to catch the killer.

Poor Mom was wrongfully killed.

You should sleep. I'll prepare the food.

I guess Gwang Sik's not coming.

I thought she'd be back for Mom's death anniversary.

Don't even mention her.

How could she disappear when things were like that?

You and I had such a dreadful time with the investigation.

She flew abroad after texting us not to look for her?

If I find her, I'll pull out all her hair.

I'm sure she was upset about everything.

Even so, she should've told us.

I feel so betrayed.

Mom's dead, the killer's still loose,

and the wench left so she could be free.

I wonder if she's alive.

Do you think...

No way.

Then why would she run off? That's weird.

It can't be that.

We were together that night.

Who knows? Maybe she left while we were asleep.

I said we should do this at my place.

A memorial rite in a house with red seizure stickers everywhere?

Not even a ghost would want to come here to eat.

She used to live here. It's only right to host it here.

I don't know how long I can do this for,

but I will do this until I die.

Who else would do this for her since we have no sons?

I won't have to care about this once I die.

You can say that?

You're from a noble family that puts ancestral rites first.

Don't be so sarcastic.

If it's almost done, call the girls.

It's a good excuse for you to call them.

You haven't called since have you?

They must've blocked me. They won't pick up.

No news from Gwang Sik, right?

No.

I don't think she calls Gwang Nam or Gwang Tae either.

I plan to stay alive until I see that she's alive.

I'm sure she manages. Her English is pretty good.

English isn't enough.

This is wrong.

More than anything else, I'm upset she quit being a civil servant.

Can't it be Gwang Tae instead of Gwang Sik?

Gwang Nam?

We bought the ingredients earlier and are setting the table now.

Will you come?

You'll host the rite?

Your dad and I are cooking right now.

Why would he host Mom's memorial rite?

Auntie, tell him not to. We'll do it.

Gwang Nam. Gwang Nam.

Call her again and put me on.

Speak nicely. Don't fly into a temper.

- What, Auntie? - It's me.

There can't be two simultaneous rites.

Come over immediately.

Hello?

This is unbelievable. He has no conscience.

Let's go ahead with it, whatever they do over there.

He says there can't be two simultaneous rites.

Mom's bad with directions, and she'll get confused.

Let's go.

You're just on time. We're doing it now for you guys.

Cheol Soo, Gwang Nam and Gwang Tae are here.

Welcome.

Let's get done with this first.

What are you doing?

Don't do this, Gwang Nam.

It's your mom's death anniversary. Let's not raise our voices.

I asked what you're doing.

Can't you tell? I'm hosting the rite.

You might faint again. Let's just go.

How dare you host Mom's rite?

Why are you doing this?

Are you putting on a show out of guilt?

Until now,

I never got to see a show.

If I'd agreed to divorce her, we wouldn't have gone to court,

and if we didn't go to court, the accident wouldn't have happened.

Either way, she's dead and gone now,

and I wanted to remember her.

How shameless.

We all think you killed her.

Gwang Nam. Even the police said it wasn't him.

How do you know? Can you prove it?

What's all this?

(Seized)

What happened?

Why are these stickers here?

He's in debt and he lost the house and everything inside it.

What debt?

How much debt were you in that you lost everything?

Things happened.

You never let Mom spend and you still had debt?

You should've given her half of what you had then!

You didn't divorce her to keep it and look at what happened!

It's your mom's debt.

Don't blame her!

It's always her! Why do you put everything on her?

Can you do that because she's gone?

She must feel so wronged right now!

There's more white in your eyes than black now.

You do that all the time.

You're just like your mom.

Why are you speaking badly about her?

Why are you blaming our poor innocent mom again?

How is it her fault that you lost the house?

It's true, Gwang Nam.

After she passed away, creditors called left and right.

Your father paid it all back.

And the cancelation of Gwang Sik's wedding...

You have no idea how it was.

Pyeon Seung's family came barging in...

and demanded that he reimburse them for the wedding costs.

They only backed off after he paid 50,000 dollars.

He has to vacate this house too,

but he held off on it...

so that he could host your mom's first memorial service.

Don't you dare frame the dead.

Why would Mom even take out a loan?

- Your mother... - Your mom...

What about her?

What is it?

Your mother...

She must be hungry.

You can host it starting next year if you want.

The table's set, so let's pour her a drink and bow.

I'm surprised that someone so stingy actually prepared a meal.

You're right. It seems like a waste of money.

Your mom spent all the money I brought home,

and I lived as her personal slave.

How can you do this to me when I raised you all?

What about my life?

I'm not your slave either.

Do you know how this makes me feel?

You're supposed to raise the kids you bring into this world,

so what's this nonsense about being a slave?

Do you think it was unfair that you had to raise us?

You know he didn't mean that.

That's enough, girls.

Let's give your mother a proper send-off.

How long will you let this go on when he's the only parent you have?

Stay out of it, Auntie.

Yes, third party or whatever.

One might think that's my name now.

We don't intend to be a family with you anymore,

so don't bother to make amends.

We'll host today's service and will for the rest of our lives.

Daughters can't host memorial services?

The times have changed.

You were nasty to mom...

for not giving you a son who can host memorial services.

We'll show you how wrong you were!

I may be wrong by today's standards, but I wasn't in the past.

Do as you please, then.

Take everything with you.

You're even showing more white in your eyes now.

I'm sick and tired of it. It's terrifying.

(Ruling)

Are you ready?

I was held up at work, but I'm leaving now.

Let's count down together.

- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!

We move into a new year.

(Ms. Shin)

This is 2021, the Year of the White Ox.

It's been a while, Ms. Shin.

I didn't expect you to call so late.

Mr. Bae, Happy New Year.

Have you been well?

When will you reopen your diner? You're killing me, you know.

I'm really sorry about this,

but could you come see me right now?

It's urgent.

Right now? What's going on?

You'll know when you get here.

Please.

I'll be your personal cook forever.

Forever?

Where do you want me?

Help!

Breathe...

Hello.

Did you seriously just greet her like that?

Anyway, quickly grab her hand.

Me?

Hurry.

Thank you...

for coming.

A little more.

One last push! All right.

You have a healthy son.

The father can come over and cut the umbilical cord.

- Me? - Sure thing.

Go ahead.

It being a geriatric pregnancy and her first time made it extra tough.

Look after her so that she recovers well.

Isn't he sweet?

He looks just like his father.

What's going on?

He's your son, Mr. Bae.

My son?

Mom.

I'm sure you remember these dishes.

You were with me when we shopped for them.

I received a 30 percent discount...

and agreed to a 24-month installment purchase.

I still haven't paid for it all,

but you're no longer with me.

I'm reminded of you every time I used these dishes.

Mom, have your fill.

The food was bought this year,

but we'll cook ourselves starting next year.

Gwang Tae, let's bow.

- What about Byeon Ho? - What?

Would it kill him to know what day it is?

He's not answering.

Maybe he's in a meeting.

We'll take a photo with both parents.

Here we go. Kiddo, look this way.

Can the mom smile?

Big smiles, everyone.

My boy.

Move. Out of the way!

- Must you be like this? - Unbelievable.

Lee Gwang Sik.

(Revolutionary Sisters)

Get lost.

Why let that wench back in here?

Get rid of her.

- What is it? - It smells like baby formula.

No guy is as sweet as Byeon Ho.

He's been good to Gwang Nam for 15 years and counting.

I brought some kimchi.

Don't bring us junk like this again.

It'll all be okay.

Don't you worry.

What on earth? What will you do about my shirt?

- What about my ramyeon? - What?
