A present for Mom?

I'm getting paid tomorrow.

I can't figure out what might be the best for her.

(Episode 18)

Are you finally getting your first paycheck?

Yes.

Good work.

Good job, my little brother.

You're making me blush.

I know you went through a lot...

because you paid back my student loans.

I'm going to make you pay me back.

Don't smile. I'm not joking.

I've been waiting all this time...

to get back every cent I lent you.

I said, don't smile. I'm not joking.

It's nice to have this kind of conversation with you.

I thought I might grow old and die in part-time jobs.

I was so worried that my life would end...

only after making you and Mom worry about me.

But now I got a job that provides insurances.

I can pay for our family's health insurance.

I finally feel like...

I've become the head of the family.

I'm proud of you.

I'm so proud of you.

But I can't help you with picking out Mom's gift.

Why not? I was going to buy whatever you tell me to buy.

You should pick one yourself to make it meaningful.

If you wonder about what Mom likes,

then you'll keep on thinking about her.

That itself is already a gift.

Chi Woo.

If I...

go back to the gym, would Mum be happy?

The gym?

Taekwondo?

Hey, you won't have to buy her a gift.

That's the best gift you could give her.

I won't get into it full-out.

I'm only going there on weekends.

But you're saying you'll bring up the courage to do it again.

This means you'll reconcile with taekwondo.

The number you have dialed is not available...

What happened to him?

Gosh.

Mom will kill me if she finds out the house is up on the market.

Why are you surprised? This is nothing.

If this film works out,

I'll move you to a high rise that over looks the Han River,

instead of Mount Nam.

Yes. I have a residence. We can all move there.

She won't ever get to live in a place like that if not for me.

Are you going deaf?

I said, what are you doing in your room all day?

Gosh.

Hurry up and get up.

Do you want to see me go crazy?

Hey!

Just tell me what's going on...

before you get sick or starve to death.

I'll throw you out along with this blanket.

Hey, get up.

Just leave me alone.

Ms. Lee.

Don't waste your energy, and just come out.

According to my diagnosis,

she's been dumped.

What? Dumped?

It seems to me that the Mr. Slick dumped her hard.

You know that only time heals those wounds.

She'll snap out of it in a few days,

so just let her be.

Is that it? Did he dump you?

Did you run away with my 1,000 dollars?

No, that's not it!

Stop bothering me and get out!

Mr. Slick... Pardon me. Dong Geon, what brings you by?

Dong Geon? Is he here?

Dong Geon, is that you?

- See? - She's out of her mind.

I thought a rocket had been launched.

She was in her room all day under the covers,

but she springs out of bed...

at the sound of the slimy jerk.

- Unbelievable, isn't it? - You're dead meat.

How dare you joke around with Dong Geon?

- That hurts! - Also, who are you to say...

that my Dong Geon dumped me?

- Let go of him. - Mom!

Goodness. Why would you smack someone...

who has no hair to provide protection? Get over here.

You're the one who'll die today.

Where's my 1,000 dollars?

- Give back my 1,000 dollars. - Get over here.

My 1,000 dollars!

Gi Ppeum!

Auntie!

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

- You're here to pick her up today. - Right.

- Where's Dad? - He's a bit busy today.

I'm sorry for being late. I came as fast as I could though.

It's no big deal. Gi Ppeum was practicing her stance anyway.

My mother thanks you greatly.

She apologizes for always picking Gi Ppeum up late.

Please don't say that. Do you know how empty it felt...

without Gi Ppeum here for a few days?

You don't have to worry about picking her up late.

Thank you.

- I'll see you around then. - Sure.

Hi, Joo Chul.

Really?

That's great to hear!

You're right. These two companies stand out.

Then let's decide after seeing both presentations.

Okay.

I'll set them up after checking President Choi's schedule.

Shouldn't Madam Jeong be at the presentation?

Of course.

Both companies have different merits,

so she should see for herself.

Hold on.

Yes?

Ms. Go Yoon Kyung is calling for you.

Should I put her through?

No, and never forward any of her calls to me.

I don't believe it.

How can a person be so brazen?

So what are you going to do?

I don't care what her intentions are.

How can it not matter?

She already came by your house.

Is that why you wanted me to look into Goyeong Corporation?

There's no way she's here to win back Gi Ppeum.

She needs me for something.

You're right. She has quite the audacity...

to come back here after what she did to you.

I feel like she has a deep ulterior motive.

You know me though.

My name literally means that the spirits power my words.

If she dares to show up here, I'll intimidate her with words.

Weren't you the least good with words back in high school?

I wore this old jacket since you said we were eating sashimi.

I didn't know it'd be this fancy.

It's not fancy at all.

I just hope you enjoy it.

There are days when I want to have drinks with friends.

Once I retired from a post office though,

I suddenly had no friends around me.

That's how it is with the average Korean men...

since all we do is work and spend time with our families.

How lucky am I to have met you after all these years?

Fate has given me a chance...

to pay you back for everything you did for me.

Can you please stop saying that?

You're embarrassing me.

Just so you know, I'll keep saying it until I'm satisfied.

Unbelievable.

Let's begin then.

Try the tuna belly first.

My daughter-in-law loves sashimi.

- I feel bad eating it alone. - Is that so?

I'll have the chef prepare some to-go.

Gosh, don't be like this!

I feel like I can't say anything around you.

It seems like you truly adore her.

As you know, I only raised two sons.

I spend all my life yelling at those two boys,

so my daughter-in-law...

felt like an angel from above.

I haven't seen her that many times,

but I agree that she's decent.

I'm quite jealous.

Why would you envy me...

when you have two daughters of your own?

I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it.

It's all right.

I'm sorry for bringing it up.

Whatever I say can never be of comfort.

How can we describe this cruel world anyway?

Life can be brutal.

- I'm sorry. - Please don't say that.

Call me whenever you want to talk.

Sharing with me what you can't tell others...

- might be of help. - Thank you for that.

Isn't that your daughter-in-law?

Are you heading home?

Father! Yes, I am.

- Hello, sir. - Please get in.

I'm enjoying some luxury thanks to him.

It's a long walk up, so ride with us.

Just how greatly is being treated to stay out this late?

Why couldn't he invite me too?

He always pretend to be a man of integrity.

I've always managed to be one step ahead of you.

Even without your help,

I'll find other ways to meet President Choi.

You didn't have to give this.

Anyway, thank you.

With every piece of sashimi,

he kept saying if was your favorite.

He barely managed to swallow his food tonight.

Oh, please.

I only said that once.

You shouldn't have.

You know how I can't stop speaking sometimes.

What could I do when my mouth just said it?

Well, he adores you greatly.

It's very nice to see.

My daughter-in-law is as young as yours too,

so speak to her casually.

Yes, you don't have to be formal with me.

I will over time then.

By the way, I'm really sorry about your clothes.

Clothes?

We ended up ruining clothes...

that she cherished.

She looked after my granddaughter too,

so I'm deeply sorry about it all.

Is that so?

I'm really all right, so please don't dwell on it.

Why is she getting out of that car?

- When did she join them? - You should head inside.

- Mother! - Oh, yes.

- Hello. - Hello. How have you been?

I've been well thanks to you.

I was hoping for a chance to see you anyway,

- so how about... - How about we...

go hiking?

Hiking? That sounds great.

Goodness. I see you like to go hiking.

When you do next time,

- why don't... - What?

There's no need to pack us food.

There are a lot of restaurants at the entrance anyway.

Of course. I'm grateful for the offer anyway.

I see. So how about...

we get together to celebrate your reunion?

Maybe our two families can gather...

We already celebrated our reunion twice.

That's more than enough.

You must be exhausted. Go on inside.

No, I'll see you off first.

Thank you for the meal then.

Still, we should have dinner sometime...

Corporal Choi is a busy man, so let's not bother him.

I'll get going too.

- Thank you again. - You're welcome.

Good night.

Why wouldn't you even let me finish?

It's obvious what you'll say. How can I let you say it?

That's my only wish. Can't you just let me have it?

All my regrets won't let me close my eyes when I die.

Why are you being so stubborn?

Are you a fool?

It's because your wife is a fool. What will you do about it?

- Mother. - Don't act so high and mighty.

Do you think there won't be any other way?

That's enough.

I told you to stop, okay?

You're a cold-blooded monster.

You don't deserve to be a dad.

Don't you dare step foot in my room, or I'll...

What should we do, Father?

Don't worry.

She'll calm down in a few days.

You should go in. I'll speak to Mother.

Forget it. You and I should talk.

Why did you stay out so late if you didn't drink?

That's what happens when men talk about the army.

Whenever I'm with Sergeant Park,

I feel like I'm back to my 22-year-old self.

I feel so much younger, and there's a lot to laugh about.

You should get washed up.

I ran into Sergeant Park's daughter-in-law...

when we got home.

She's such a good person.

I see.

She was such a pleasure to be around...

when Yi Yoo and I went to eat sandwiches at that cafe.

- Did you run into her there too? - Yes.

Yes. She works at the cafe in front of the office.

No wonder Sergeant Park wouldn't stop praising her.

How should I explain this?

Yes. She's very pure.

I wish Jin Yoo...

had met someone nice like her.

That's what I keep on thinking about.

Gosh.

(Missing Person Report)

Father.

I should've brought it up a while ago.

I just told myself it'd be okay.

I just took it the way I wanted to believe.

I mean, it's easy for us to say you were five.

But that's the age you start to talk,

and play cute in front of your mom.

Who could ever understand the feelings you went through...

when you lost your parents at that age?

Even when a tree is relocated,

it struggles to reroot.

You were only five.

It's not like we can turn back the time that passed.

I just thought, there's nothing we can do.

I was indifferent.

No, Father.

I feel so relieved thanks to you.

Go look for them.

I asked the police, and they told me many people...

found each other due to the improved technology.

You never know. Your parents...

might still be waiting for news about you.

Come on, be brave.

I never even went close to a police station,

but I went in there myself to get this.

Gosh.

Honey, this is so good.

It must be from an expensive place.

Try one.

They're all the kinds you like.

Honey? Honey?

What?

What are you thinking about? Don't you want sushi?

- By the way... - Yes?

Should I try looking...

for my real parents?

What?

Honey.

I told you to do that ever since we were in elementary!

I told you we should look for them so many times.

"If your parents are rich,

then I could live a better life."

Don't you remember beating me after I said that?

I remember.

Okay, Honey. Listen carefully.

How would you feel if you died tomorrow?

- What? - What would you regret the most?

Marrying you.

No, except that!

Listen.

There's a saying that goes,

"Instead of regretting about what I didn't do,"

"I'll live a life regretting my failure."

Where did you hear such a thing?

I heard it on a radio show.

A woman in her 40s read it in a book.

In my opinion, I know...

you're not a fool who regrets...

not trying anything.

I think you're persuaded.

It's been a million years...

since I made you feel passionate about something.

How exciting!

This is crazy.

I did such a good job.

"This sound isn't coming from my mouth."

This sushi is so good.

- Grandma. - Just meet with her.

I told you that I'm not interested.

Then, become interested.

Mother.

I think it's time for Gi Ppeum and I to leave the room.

- Let's go upstairs, Gi Ppeum. - Why?

I thought you were going cycling. Don't you need to get ready?

- Right. - Let's go.

Have a nice conversation.

Let's go.

- Mom. - Jin Yoo should remarry...

and find stability too.

That way, that witch won't dare to eye him.

People think he's easy because he's single.

That's no reason for him to marry just anyone.

It's not just anyone.

I would never recommend...

a random person to Jin Yoo.

But what Jin Yoo thinks is the most important.

That's why I said that.

What happened yesterday won't happen again.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

If you're sorry, meet with her.

- Mom. - Come on.

Why is it so hard to meet someone just once?

Why are you two so against it too?

Jin Yoo has to mentally prepare himself too.

It wouldn't be fair to meet someone on such a rush.

It wouldn't be late to mentally prepare himself after meeting her.

I'm sorry.

Yes, Detective Kim.

What?

What do you mean?

There is no registered DNA?

What are you talking about?

Are you sure you checked properly?

Yes.

No, my father definitely got his DNA registered.

We should talk in person.

I'll come to see you right away.

Gosh. Are you saying Jae Hak's DNA...

wasn't registered?

No.

What are you talking about? How can this be possible?

I'll have to go there and check.

- Didn't you submit it? - I did.

That's what I was told.

What do you mean?

Didn't you go there yourself?

He was busy that day,

so I went there instead.

Then where did it go?

I better go to the station and check.

No, I'll go. You should stay home.

No, I should go since I registered it.

How could it...

Hello.

Hello. How can I help you?

I came to make a missing person report.

- A missing person report? - Yes.

I already filled out the report.

Where should I go?

Go to Missing Persons Unit of Women and Juvenile Division.

There's someone I really want to find.
