QUEEN OF TEARS

[somber music playing]

Tell me it's not real.

DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

Tell me it's not.

That you don't know anything about it.

-Hae-in.
-Say it.

Say it's not true.

What are you waiting for?

I can't.

It's real. I wrote it.

I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner.

When was it?

When did...

When did you write this?

[Hyun-woo] I...

have something to say.

Was it... the day I told you

I don't have a lot of time left?

It was.

And so

you had this prepared...

[music fades]

...to ask for a divorce.

You changed your mind when you learned

I would die soon?

That's right.

[scoffs in disbelief]

[laughs incredulously]

[poignant music playing]

And so...

this whole time you've been lying?

What's keeping you from lying now?

You've been doing so well up till now.

What's holding you back?

[Hyun-woo sighs]

I...

saw it on my way over.

[music fades]

On the bridge, our lock's still there.

["Fallin'" by Isaac Hong playing]

[song continues]

[object clatters]

Hong Hae-in.

Where are you going now?

[sighs]

You stay. I'll leave.

Just

let me be alone.

I'm tired.

Too tired to be upset.

Just hear me out.

Why... why I did it,

what I was feeling,

and what I'm going to do.

Save it. That's enough.

I don't wanna know.

[song continues]

[door closes]

[sighs]

[Hyun-woo] I love you, Hong Hae-in.

I... I love you.

[gun cocks]

[gunshot]

You okay?

[cries]

[song continues]

[elevator dings]

[sniffles]

[sighs]

[horn blaring incessantly]

[engine roaring]

[song continues]

[horns blaring]

[truck horn blaring]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[song ends]

[panting] What are you doing here?

You shouldn't be
walking around all by yourself.

Let's go inside.

I'll explain everything
from the beginning.

And I'll... do whatever it is you want.

-So...
-Baek Hyun-woo.

Next time this happens...

don't save me.

[poignant music playing]

[Soo-cheol] Turns out Hyun-woo is normal.

-How shocking.
-What's that?

I mean, lately, it seemed like Hyun-woo
was really in love with Hae-in,

so I thought he'd gone crazy.

But the divorce papers
have proved he is quite ordinary.

I was surprised too.

Who would have thought
he was preparing everything himself?

-[exhales] You think he acted alone?
-Hmm?

[quirky music playing]

Someone's behind all this.

Someone who's been acting
suspicious lately.

Who?

[whispers] Auntie.

Oh.

[gasps]

Huh?

She's been getting in my way a lot lately
saying all this rubbish,

like how Hyun-woo is better-looking
than me or something.

-[Geon-u coos]
-[chuckles]

[Soo-cheol clears throat]

Anyway, it seemed like
both she and Hyun-woo

were sharing some kind of secret.

[music fades]

The main focus of this business... [sighs]

-What?
-[Beom-ja] So why would she go alone?

[crying] Why did you
let her go by herself?

Why would you let her go by herself?

-Let her go where by herself?
-[Beom-ja] Huh?

[Beom-ja sobbing]

What? But why is she crying?

They were conspiring about something.
That's what it looked like.

Really?

But what could it be?

[wistful music playing]

[Liam] Unfortunately, uh,
we haven't seen any improvement

in the white blood cell count,
uh, or lymphocyte ratio.

The Filgrastim treatment
doesn't seem to be effective either.

And, as a doctor,
my advice is always to help the patient

not to lose the will to live.

And you mentioned that
your wife ran into oncoming traffic.

Such actions are not typically exhibited
by individuals who even subconsciously

hold a desire to hold onto life.

I've witnessed many
terminally ill patients resort to suicide.

No less than those who die from a disease.

But it's those
who have something to hold onto,

hope, desire, love, or even hatred,
who desperately fight for their lives.

And even if your wife gets another chance,
it will only be meaningful

if she has something worth fighting for.
Do you understand?

[knocking at door]

-Yes?
-[door opens]

Mrs. Hong would like to be discharged now.

[doctor] What?

[Hyun-woo pants] Where are you going?

Who cares? The treatment isn't working.

It's not that it won't work.
Just please give it time.

We'll fly back here once
your white blood cell count has improved...

Don't be cruel now.

This is all good news for you.

That I'm done trying.

You're... just giving up then?

[somber music playing]

You're not gonna do anything?

Not gonna file a lawsuit?

If you'd just agree to the divorce,

I'd appreciate it.

-What?
-You've already found out.

So?

Well, normally,
you'd never let me off easy.

[music fades]

It was hard enough
for me to live with you.

Don't act like you don't know this
about yourself, Hae-in.

You know what kind of person you are.

Don't you think this was hard for me?

It'd be so easy to stay and keep on
being in a conglomerate family.

But why do you think I tried to leave?

[emotional music playing]

Because I hated every second
of living with you.

[sighs]

Hey.

-Baek Hyun-woo.
-You know what, you're right.

Honestly,

when you said
you had three months to live,

I... thought I am saved.

Just three more months.

Then I'd be free of it all.

But I got caught.

It's painful being around you.

So instead of doing anything,

if you just quit,

and sign the divorce agreement,

honestly,

I'd be grateful.

Would you do that?

Now what?

Should I pack my bags and leave?

Or...

I can keep sucking up to you if you decide

to revise your will.

What are you trying to do here exactly?

Can you handle it?
Making me this angry at you?

Bring it on, then! Do it!

What are you gonna do?

Whatever it is, bring it on!

[scoffs softly]

[emotional music continues]

[music builds]

[music fades]

[clicks tongue] The initial investigation
on Song is complete,

but it's our opinion as your attorneys
that they're not going to stop there.

[Secretary Jang] If that's
what's going on with the prosecution,

then sooner or later,
they'll subpoena you.

I can't believe we're in this mess
because of Hyun-woo.

[Beom-jun] Speaking of, I'm worried.

You can't stand
in front of the prosecution

with all those pills
you're constantly taking.

Then why don't you go instead?

-Huh?
-[Man-dae] Why not?

I served my time in jail.

I was no older than Soo-cheol.

[exhales uneasily]

It would be doable if I were his age.

[whimsical music playing]

What are you looking at me for?

It's an experience so special,
you can't pay to have it.

Oh, well, I don't want it.

You take the place of your grandfather,

and I think that'll make you
seem like the heir to the people.

But if you don't,
you'll look like a real bastard.

Father, I have family to protect.

I have a family to protect too, kid.

Yeah, that's me.
You should be protecting me.

What are you trying to do?

Just shut it!

The problem is, we have a large-scale
investment deal around the corner.

If investors found out about this,
the deal might fall through.

Right. We should speed things up
with the deal first.

The table is set and ready for us to eat.

But we might end up feeding
the whole plate to Chairman Yeom.

It's only a matter of time
before reporters find out.

Once it gets out,
Mr. Yoon will back out of the deal.

And that's what Chairman Yeom wants.

So right now, I think we need
to close this deal, Chairman.

Grandfather!

[intriguing music playing]

[intriguing music continues]

QUEENS MART ENTERS NEW RESORT BUSINESS

[Director Jo]
Once the construction begins,

we'll let it slip to the joint investors
that there is a problem with the permit

due to the resort site's
height restriction.

Then the investment companies
and the securities firms

that made the loans
will opt for early redemption.

Hong Soo-cheol
will be a puddle on the floor.

What if he cries? [snickers]

That's when I'll offer
to provide extra funding

to match what the rest
of the investors withdraw

in a convertible bond.

This is when the prosecution
will begin the actual investigation?

Yes.

Once the public finds out,
their whole family will go to jail.

That's when I exercise
my conversion rights

and secure Queens stock.

We'll add up the 4.9% of the shares
we each secured before that

and announce it publicly.

That'll make us the largest shareholders.

[squeals in delight]

[Grace] Things are going
pretty well for us.

I'm glad he's out of the way.
Baek Hyun-woo was such a nuisance.

Those divorce papers appeared
at the exact right time for us.

Who would've thought?

[Beom-jun] Did Hyun-woo say it's true?

He put his seal on the paperwork too?

Why bother asking? Of course, he did.

Yeah, but how could he do this?

What's the point
in rehashing every last detail?

Just get divorced.

Let's just say that we can get past
Hyun-woo planting a bug on you

and giving the recording
to the prosecution.

Why would you get past that?

Are you little brats so quick to look past
problems that aren't yours, huh?

What I really can't wrap my head around
is that Hyun-woo,

that asshole,
he tried to divorce my Hae-in first.

That's the only thing
I can wrap my head around.

[Beom-jun] There must be someone.

Another woman?
Father, I'll find out what's happening.

[Hae-in] No.

-I'll have the Audit Team do it.
-The Audit Team?

He'll be leaving Queens after the divorce.

Let's be sure that he's clean.

I'll go through his computer,
accounting records, phone, bank accounts,

and use digital forensics
to trace his funds.

I'll find out who he knows
and what he's been up to.

If any embezzlement
or misconduct is found,

I will charge him with all possible civil
and criminal charges, and seek damages.

-[sputters] Is all that necessary?
-Yes, it's necessary.

I will handle all of this.

So everyone had better keep out of my way.

[dramatic music playing]

-So tenacious.
-[music fades]

I told you I'd get you at the airport.

Did you forget? Yeah? You all right?

Huh? Hey, everything intact?

Jeez. Hey, can you hear me?

People's eardrums get ruptured
when they're beaten up.

Many of my clients show up like that.

Listen up, Hyun-woo.

-I'm all right.
-[sighs]

Oh, really? You're okay? Huh?

[exclaims loudly] You worked hard.

Right here. Let's hug.

[Hyun-woo sighs]

[smacks lips, sighs]

Your whole relationship was an act anyway.
You couldn't have done one more scene?

"Honey, I wrote these divorce papers
to practice being a divorce attorney."

You know, some sort of improv
would've been nice.

Your wife must be very angry.
I wouldn't wanna piss her off.

And you probably feel so empty inside.

AVAILABLE FOR MONTHLY RENT

This whole thing
was such an ordeal for you.

All for nothing.

You've got it all wrong.

-Wrong about what?
-She wasn't mad.

-She wasn't?
-No.

And I'm not empty inside.

-I'm angry.
-Hey.

Who gave you the right to be angry?

She cried.

Hae-in.

And when she cried, I flipped out.

More than I ever have.

[melancholic music playing]

This is crazy.

What have I done?

[Hyun-woo sighs]

What's all this?

What happened to not being able
to live another day with her?

So does he really like her, or what?

[sighs] So what's your next plan?

-I don't have one?
-Really? No plans?

I think Hae-in is coming up
with something.

She's doing that
'cause you got her all riled up.

She must be busy right now,
trying to push you out.

It would be the perfect revenge.

I know.

-As she should.
-What are you saying?

She needs that right now.

Something for her to focus on.

So you're gonna set the table for her
to plan your demise?

What is up with you?

Just walking into a battle,
knowing you'll die.

[Hae-in] Next time this happens...

don't save me.

At least she'll live.

[Yang-gi sighs]

[music fades]

[Soo-cheol] Hyun-woo.

Why did you do it?

I'm going to see your grandfather.
Can we do this later?

It's HSC.

-What?
-You can do whatever you want.

But the heir is Hong Soo-cheol.
HSC, understand?

Do you not get what's going on right now?

You wanted my position,
so you eavesdropped?

You wanted to hear my conversation
with Grandfather.

No, I didn't want any of that.

-I didn't listen in either.
-I get it.

What?

Living with my sister
without a single complaint

requires some serious ambition.

And what now?

-You messed up and got caught.
-[sighs]

You know, once I succeeded
with this resort business,

I was going to reward you.

"If I started a new branch
in Yufuin or Cancún,

that'd be perfect."

"I could send Hyun-woo far away."

"Oh, Yufuin is too close.
The flight is only an hour,

which means Hae-in could visit
at any time she wanted."

"Cancún should give him
enough breathing room."

I had all this in mind.

What?

You have to stop
the construction of the resort.

Mr. Yoon's consulting firm predicts
an annual operating profit of 500 billion.

Hanjeong Consulting
has that around 89 billion won.

Not even a fifth of the former.
Isn't that strange?

Closing the deal when
the site suitability hasn't been fully...

There you go getting in my way again!

Hyun-woo, just stop being
so uptight about my success.

[sighs]

HSC. Keep it in mind.

[Ms. Kim sighs]

Sorry for causing you concern.

All right, just tell me.

Why on earth did you keep
the divorce papers hidden?

Or were you planning on shoving it
in our faces later, is that it?

Is that why you've been disobeying me
and nitpicking everything I say?

-Because of that divorce paper?
-[door opens]

[Ms. Kim sighs]

Baek Hyun-woo,
the chairman would to see you now.

Okay.

[Secretary Jang] He requested
all electronics to be left outside.

Yes, and so do I.

You're probably recording us.

-[knocking at door]
-Mmm.

[pen clicking]

-What did Chairman Yeom promise you?
-Sir?

I really don't care
if you get divorced or not.

You're the one screwing yourself over.

I apologize.

But if you planted a bug on me

and used it to sell me out
to the prosecution through Chairman Yeom,

that I will not forgive.

Song's embezzlement, are you responsible?

Did you plan this to get to me?

Team Leader Song's embezzlement
was ultimately targeted at you.

Are you playing with words right now?

I'm saying you're the one who did it!

[intriguing music playing]

The person signing Song's documents
is Director Jo Hyeon-myeong.

Next to him is Hwang Byeong-u,
CEO of the accounting firm Byeongu,

one of our external auditors.
The two went to college together.

So, what about it?

We have our accounts audited every year,

but there's never been
a negative opinion in the audit results.

I find it hard to believe they didn't know
Song was embezzling money from you

for five years now.

So what you're saying is Jo Hyeon-myeong

-knew about Song's embezzlement...
-[sighs]

...but conspired with the accounting firm
to leave him be on purpose,

as an excuse to get me investigated?

[Hyun-woo] No.

Director Jo needed help on this.
Someone else must be behind this.

Whoever that is, is the one responsible
for planting the bug and the receiver

to make it look like it was me.

So, who did it?

[music crescendos]

[music fades]

I don't know yet who's responsible.

What?

You're not even sure,

and yet I'm supposed to believe the guy

who tried to stab my granddaughter
in the back and divorce her?

-Huh?
-[line ringing]

Director.

[tense music playing]

Get a move on.

Why? [sighs]

'Cause Baek Hyun-woo is looking into you.

[music intensifies]

[scoffs]

[music fades]

ESTIMATED ASSETS
2,386,690

-Investing in stocks again?
-[gasps]

In this market?

Just because it's bad,
I don't have to cry about it.

It'll be good soon, you'll see.

QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE

-[exclaims] Yeah, boy! [laughs]
-What is it?

-How's it looking?
-Don't worry.

-What is it? What's happening?
-Nothing. It's nothing.

Don't worry. It's nothing. [yelps]

-Let go!
-Hey, that really hurt.

Hey! Did you buy
Queens Department Store stocks?

[shushing]

[softly] Our mother's gonna
freak out if she finds out.

Then why did you do it?

-Idiot.
-[whimsical music playing]

I've been invested for a while actually,
but I sold some.

When?

When Hyun-woo said
he was getting divorced.

CEO's private life tends to affect stocks.

So I figured I'd sell, you know,

with the media being covered
with negative news.

Son of a bitch.

So, since they are getting divorced,

you bought them again?

Yeah. How about it?

-There. It's doing good.
-[clicks tongue] Oh...

[Hyeon-tae laughing]

-[door closes]
-Oh, Mom.

[music fades]

-Since when do you take naps?
-[Hyeon-tae sighs]

I had a nightmare.

-Oh, goodness.
-[Mi-seon] What was it?

It's a bit confusing.

Were you pregnant?

-Tell me. [gasps]
-Huh?

-You know, that's good luck.
-No. It was nothing like that, no.

[inhales sharply] Mmm.

[vibrating]

MOM

-He's busy.
-Uh, hello?

I thought...
Isn't this Baek Hyun-woo's phone?

Yes, that's correct.
This is Hae-in's mother.

[gasps] Ah, yes. I'm sorry. How are you?

Uh, I guess Hyun-woo left his phone
and went somewhere else.

-Why are you...
-Yes.

Beak Hyun-woo is talking
to my father-in-law right now.

I'm not sure if you know this,

but our family is a complete mess
right now because of him.

What? What happened?

A bug was found in my father-in-law's...

Actually, forget I said that.

He's been getting ready
to file for a divorce?

[whispers] What?

[chuckles] Uh...

I do recall that he said that, yes.

Buy anything can happen.

They could spend
the rest of their lives together.

And I thought they'd gotten past it.

-[whispers] The divorce, they know.
-[gasps softly]

[Bong-ae] Uh, well...

I think that you maybe should try to...

You told me on their wedding day

not to get in the way
of them being happy together.

-I will make sure those two get divorced.
-[gasps]

-Don't get in my way.
-[line disconnects]

Now what? Spill it.

What should I do?

Oh, goodness. What should I do?

[sighs] This is bullshit.

Hey, Ma.

[sighs] Something crazy is going on.

What if Hyun-woo gets divorced for real?

Hmm?

-[groans]
-Are you serious right now?

SELL

YOUR ORDER IS COMPLETE

Ha!

Bingo.

[clicks tongue] I mean,
what's so complicated about it?

You can use the same strategy
to make pears popular.

Hong Hae-in can bite
into a refreshing pear

and all she has to say is,
"Wow, that's so sweet."

-You're saying I should ask her again?
-You should.

I mean, she's already willing.

Ugh. Those freeloaders.
They're the ones at fault.

What do you think?

It's amazing how Ms. Hong showed up
out of the blue with presents

even with her busy schedule.

But to ask for her help once again?

Not easy to do.

[whimsical music playing]

-Yeah.
-You'll lose face too.

Really?

So you're saying that Park Seok-hun
will take everything from us?

Jeez, calm down.

You're always taking things
to the extreme.

You're an INFP?

What are you even saying?
I'm Park Chun-sik.

What are your goals in life?
Do you care about how you treat others?

Or are you ruthless in your pursuit
of your goals? INFP or ENFJ.

Yeah, I'm thinking... [sighs]

...INFP.

-[smacks leg]
-Let's get her to eat a pear.

And then she'll say, "Sweet as honey."

But before that, we need the video
of her eating an apple taken down.

If you don't want your efforts
going to waste, disarm the other side.

I think that's exactly right.

-[music fades]
-[panting] Dad, I've been calling you.

Oh, my phone's dead.

[panting]

That video of Hae-in
eating an apple when she was here.

-We should remove it.
-It's already taken down.

That's not important right now.
There's some news.

What is it?

Uh...

Uh...

Ah, well, you'll all find out anyway.

So... they've now decided to...

[amusing note plays]

[Chun-sik] Goodness.
What are we going to do?

He's getting divorced, hyung?

Don't you have any cheongsimhwan in there?

-Like we'd carry that.
-Cheongsimhwan isn't necessary.

Better for him to calm his mind.

-Hey, that's enough.
-[Chun-sik grunts]

That's easy for you to say.

I wanted to incorporate
Dr. Oh's advice for situations like this.

Episode 58 of My Golden Kids
with Nancy Lang.

She says if you wanna
overcome life's difficulties,

there are three steps.

-I don't recall any of that.
-Okay, first...

Acknowledge it.

Figure out the facts about
exactly what the current crisis is.

[whimsical music playing]

Have they signed off on it yet?

Uh, I don't think so.

Mmm. Second, self-awareness.

Is your life going badly right now?

Imagine how much worse it could be.

Is the news talking about their divorce?

I don't think so.
But sooner or later, they will.

Exactly.

The third thing is, differentiate.

Know what you're willing to sacrifice
and what you want and respond accordingly.

Ah.

[music fades]

I'm quitting the election.
This is such a mess.

That's it.

-Where are you going?
-[Du-gwan] What's your mom up to?

[Hyeon-tae] Oh, she just left earlier.
But I don't know where she went.

I mean, did you have to say all this?
You know the election is a sore spot.

Sorry. I'm INTP.

YONGDU-RI SUPERMARKET

"INTP."

Gosh, what the hell is he going on about?

That woman knew about it.
She knew about it and deceived us.

They filmed a video of her
when she wasn't looking

and they posted it online. [huffs]

Please relax.

As a mom, you must remain calm.

For Hae-in's sake and for yours.

-[door opens]
-[Beom-ja] Unni!

[panting] What's going on?

Did Hyun-woo really do it?

You are always siding
with Hyun-woo, Beom-ja.

What did I tell you?

You have the absolute worst taste
when it comes to people.

-That's why you get betrayed.
-[scoffs]

My taste isn't the issue.

[intriguing music playing]

If someone purposefully deceives me,
there's no way for me to know about it.

But why can't I bring it up?

That girl has been playing us
for 20 years!

[Conan] For someone to do that,

she'd have to be
a truly Machiavellian strategist.

If you confront her without hard evidence,

she'll cut ties
and you'll end up looking like a fool.

Hang in there. We know she has a son.
He must be getting something from her.

Let's find her son first.

Until then,
you need to control your temper.

Okay?

[music fades]

[breathes deeply]

I can't imagine how you must be feeling
since I don't have children.

I guess the same goes for
Moh Seul-hee. Isn't that right?

You don't need kids to empathize.

You should be able to understand that.

Still, divorce is risky.

Times may have changed,

however, the woman is still usually
the biggest loser in divorce.

Why are you looking at me?

It's because all of your ex-husbands
got remarried immediately,

and yet you're still single.

Oh, what are you talking about?

I also got remarried right away.

But you kept getting divorced
right away as well.

Oh, well...

Unni, my marriages aren't the issue.

I'm worried for Hae-in.

Oh, she's already suffered so much.

[tense music playing]

"She already suffered"?

Is there something else
going on with Hae-in?

It's just,
she's working so much, that's all.

Too much, I'd say.

She should be talking it easy.

[Beom-ja sighs]

What was that?

Yikes.

-[door closes]
-[Ms. Kim sighs]

-[music fades]
-[insects trilling]

[sighs]

Look, I...

You see? I stamped my seal too.

But I decide when and how
this will be submitted. Is that clear?

Yes.

-[scoffs softly]
-[pensive music playing]

Now I get why Auntie made sure

her ex-husbands were all worn down
when she got divorced.

And I'm going to use
much better attorneys than she did.

You won't even be able to stand.

You'll be face down on the ground
when we're done.

All right. [sighs]

I understand.

I don't want you getting
too close with Yoon Eun-sung.

Why do you care?

You were out of touch for a while,
and then he suddenly appears?

He got a large investment for Soo-cheol,

and the contract for Hercyna,
and he presents it as a gift?

I think he has an agenda.

-He's suspicious.
-What are you saying?

After the hunting incident,

I took dashcam footage
to a data recovery shop

to get the footage from the SD card.

Yoon Eun-sung visited the shop,
and then the shop owner disappeared.

That so? Eun-sung going to that shop
isn't evidence of anything, Hyun-woo.

He must have had something to recover too.

And even if he was
up to something suspicious,

I'm not easily fooled.

I fooled you though.

I'm saying this to protect you.

[door opens]

-[door closes]
-[music fades]

[gentle piano music playing]

I have mushroom porridge
for you, Ms. Hong.

-Sound good?
-No, thank you.

I'll have steak.

[intriguing whimsical music playing]

[blade rings]

[enthralling music playing]

[elevator dings]

[enthralling music continues]

As she walked in,
I got blinded by Ms. Hong's diamonds.

[all exclaiming]

As of right now, I'm issuing Peacock One.

-Stay alert, everyone.
-[all] Yeah.

"Peacock One"? Sorry, what is that?

Right. You're new here, so you don't know.

-What do you think of Ms. Hong's outfit?
-It was pretty.

-[mockingly] It was pretty.
-[all mumbling]

[man] Well, yeah.

Now, remember this.

The worse Ms. Hong's mood is,
the fancier her outfit.

And if she's dressed like a peacock
with her tail feathers high,

then we're dead meat.

[employees sigh]

Then what do we do?

Our plan is,

we do nothing.

Neither natural disasters
nor Ms. Hong's bad mood

can be controlled by humans.

[dramatic music swells]

-[music fades]
-[pen scrapes]

-[woman gasping]
-[tense music playing]

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'll go print out the documents.

-It's all right.
-Uh... sorry?

-What do you mean, "It's all right"?
-It's all right. It's not a big deal.

All you did was spill coffee.
Don't worry, really. It's fine.

Get to work.

[gasps] Uh, uh...

Can I ask, are you angry right now?

[quirky music playing]

No, I have something else
to be angry about.

My attention is on that.

For example, look at this.

Even something as shitty as this report
doesn't anger me at all.

[chair creaks]

[sighs] She's scary
even when she's not angry.

What on earth is she angry about?

[music fades]

We are from the Audit Team.

We've received a report
of abuse over your expenses.

We will now begin
an investigation accordingly.

[tense music playing]

Please stand up.

You may not shred any documents,

or destroy or move anything.

[music intensifies]

[man] Man, this is a total bloodbath.

Is the Hong-Baek War of Terror on again?

Things are gonna get crazy.
Come on, let's go.

[music swells, fades]

-You're denying them all?
-Mmm.

-Every single one?
-Mmm.

You already confirmed them

-before your Germany trip.
-Mm-hmm.

-Ugh, all of them?
-Yes, they're all rejected.

[Mr. Kim sighs]

This phase of hers usually lasts a week.

True, but this is something else.
This is the worst she's been.

What happened to her in Germany?

All right, let's exchange schedules
so we can avoid each other.

Huh? Oh, no.
We're eating at that sushi place.

We'll take your elevator route
and we'll change the reservation.

-Okay.
-[quirky music playing]

BAEK HYUN-WOO

QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE INC.

[Hyun-woo] "We can now proceed
as they have reviewed the toxic clause

for the soon-to-be-closed store."

"The schedule is confirmed as
they've already been verbally notified."

"To change the schedule now
will cost three times the penalty fee."

"Please approve this so we can proceed.
That is all."

His words.

[Hae-in] "The Law Department
handles penalty fees."

"It's difficult
to sign off on this as CEO."

"You need to be proactive about problems
we may face and have a plan A, B and C."

"When we proceed with this,
include them in the report. Do it again."

-Her words.
-[chuckles]

-She's full of energy.
-Sorry?

[music fades]

It's nothing. [inhales]

We're going to the sushi restaurant
at J Hotel, right? Time for lunch.

Ah, how about that Chinese place instead?

-[amusing note plays]
-Why?

Paying for the whole team
might be a bit too expensive.

Ah. It's all right, it's on me.

Things have been tough at work lately.

[quirky music playing]

[grabs arm]

Let's just go to the Chinese place.
The sweet and sour pork is very good.

What's going on? Is there another reason
you want to change restaurants?

No. It's just that everyone on the team
is dying for some Chinese food.

[man 1] Secretary Kim is gonna call us

Japanese sympathizers
if we say we want sushi.

[man 2] I bet Ms. Hong will be
at the sushi place too.

[woman] Mr. Baek is on to him.
He's usually crazy about jajangmyeon.

[man 1] This is gonna be fun.
Forget jajangmyeon.

Just give me popcorn
and let me watch them fight.

ME TOO
ME TOO

[cell phone vibrates]

[Secretary Kim] The Owl
is now headed toward China.

[Secretary Na] Okay.
The Eagle is on her way to elevator A.

[cell phone vibrates]

[Secretary Kim]
The Owl is headed to Building B.

[music fades]

[clicks tongue] So slow. Elevator B.

[gasps] No, hang on.
Let's just wait a little longer.

Change of plan. We're approaching
Building B in three minutes.

[quirky music playing]

Should we take the stairs? You know,
I've heard that it's good for your health.

I heard it's bad for your knees.

[employees chuckling]

[Secretary Kim] This is an emergency.
Ms. Hong will be here any minute. Help me!

[cell phones chiming, vibrating]

[message whooshes]

I'm in this group chat too.

Sorry, sir.

[sighs]

[music swells, fades]

The Law Department
must be having a team lunch.

Guess you don't have much work to do.

Ah, we're working. We just need some food.

I see. Get back to work after your meal.

I also want a report

on the causes of our repeated
lawsuit losses over the past three years

and ways to improve our results.

All right, fine.

But I hope when you read it

that you remain rational
instead of getting overly emotional.

Oh, don't worry.

Our work and our personal lives
are separate affairs entirely.

That right? I don't know.

The reason you keep losing is probably
because you don't know things like that.

[whimsically tense music playing]

[elevator dings, opens]

[Hyun-woo sighs]

Should we take the stairs?

[employees] Yes, sir.

[Hyun-woo] Right.

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[man breathing heavily]

You see the news?
NSFA's new biotechnology was altered.

-That's the company our fund invested in.
-And your stocks are collateral?

Where else would I be able to get
such a large amount of cash?

Director Jo introduced me
to a savings bank,

-so I signed a foreclosure.
-So did I. [sighs]

You don't think
we'll lose our shares to the bank...

-[sighs deeply]
-...do you?

[gasps] Get Director Jo.

[music fades]

[Grace] Gosh.

I'm sad to see you go.
I've grown fond of you.

-You're a real keeper.
-I am pretty fond of you too.

Imagine how excited your kids will be
when their dad returns home rich.

This is a new phase of life.

It's time for me
to give back to the community.

[chuckles] Right.

[pensive music playing]

Statute for financial fraud
over 100 million won is 25 years.

You might want
to remember that. [chuckles]

-Live a good life and don't get caught.
-[laughs] Of course.

I'm going to stay away from

Korean grocery stores
and Korean restaurants.

[Director Jo laughs]

All right. [clears throat]

Wow, what a total scumbag he is.

After putting your colleagues
of 30 years out on the street,

that's all you have to say?

Mmm. [chuckles]

Go on.

[music fades]

[sighs] That bastard, he better watch out.

[breath trembling]

Hae-in.

-[Hae-in gasps]
-Oh.

[Hae-in gasping]

[music builds]

[line ringing]

Sungmin University Medical Center.
Get me in there.

[music swells, fades]

[gasps] Oh, my! Mr. Baek!

How are you doing? How can I help you?

There's something I wanted to ask you.

Do you recognize this watch?

Ah.

Ronde de Frédic's
101st Year Limited Edition.

-Only 101 of those in the world.
-Ah.

But it's the preorder product.

You see the yellow diamond here?

Ten preorder products have
yellow diamonds at the center of the face.

I know I'm asking for a lot.

Could you get me a list
of those ten people who have this?

[sighs] Even if it's a lot, I owe you

from the time you helped me out
with my mother's medical dispute.

[both chuckle]

I can call the head office in Switzerland.
Leave it to me, okay?

Appreciate it.

-[man] Look straight ahead.
-[Soo-cheol] I'm making the turn.

-I'm going forward.
-[man] Slowly.

-Slowly.
-[man] Yes.

Yes.

-Sit up straight.
-Right.

-Get into position.
-Right.

-[man] Yes. Corner.
-[Ms. Cheon] All right.

-[man] Smoothly.
-[Soo-cheol] Smoothly.

-[man] You've cornered well.
-[bicycle rattling]

Don't get all stiff.

-[Soo-cheol] Is this correct?
-[man] Yeah.

-You're doing great.
-[chuckles]

-[Ms. Cheon] All right.
-[man] That's it!

-[shuts phone]
-[tires screech]

[Soo-cheol grunts]

I can't believe how good you are.
You look comfortable.

I don't even need these.

The instructor kept insisting
I have them on.

[Ms. Cheon] Hmm.

-He's an Asian Games bronze medalist.
-Mmm.

The expert knows.

And everyone has them on their first week.

-I'd be speeding by if I took them off.
-Mmm.

Watch this.

-Gonna try a little faster.
-[man] Okay, careful.

-Slowly, that's it.
-[Soo-cheol] Here goes.

-Like this?
-[man] Yes, that's right.

Now don't... don't start wobbling. Whoa!

-[Soo-cheol grunts]
-[Ms. Cheon] You okay?

-[Soo-cheol] I'm okay.
-Oh, my! My son.

Soo-cheol! Oh, my.

-Oh, my God! Oh!
-[car door closes]

You're bleeding.

Oh, what was everyone doing?
You should've stopped him.

Stopped me from what?

Can't you see?
It's all dirt and cement here.

It's too dangerous to ride a bike here.
Get rid of it.

Would you just stop it?!

Skateboarding, bicycles, skiing,
roller skating, riding a scooter.

Since I was a boy,
you wouldn't let me try any of it.

You wouldn't let me go down the slide
if it was too fast.

I wasn't able to do anything.

-I didn't want you to fall, that's all.
-Exactly, Mother. You never let me fall.

[inhales] Yes.

That's because
I was trying to protect my son.

Why would I let him fall down?

My son, my Geon-u,

he should at least know
how to ride a bicycle.

[solemn music playing]

[Ms. Kim] You're doing all this
just 'cause you wanna teach your son

-how to ride a bike?
-Yes, my Geon-u.

He'll learn how to ride and ski,
roller skates, skateboard, everything.

He's gonna learn all that.

Honestly, if that's what you really want,
just get him instructors.

You'll be putting yourself
at risk teaching him yourself.

Ugh, no, I am his father! I'll teach him.

-[cell phone vibrating]
-Let's start over.

-[Ms. Kim] Oh. Oh!
-Yeah.

-[Ms. Kim] You're going to fall. Careful!
-[Soo-cheol] Mr. Kim, back the car up.

[Ms. Kim gasps]

-Get off!
-Mother, let go!

Jeez. Back the car up, hurry.
I'm going to crash.

-Hello?
-Hello, this is Kevin from Manhattan.

-Yes?
-The apartment on the Upper West Side

we spoke about before,
the owner decided to sell it.

[sighs]

That's good news.

Then I'll proceed with the deal.

The contract will be closed
at the end of this month.

You'll be in the States by then, right?
You have to sign the contract yourself.

[sighs]

-In two weeks.
-[music fades]

I was monitoring Mr. Baek's movements
and I found something peculiar.

-What is it?
-He keeps calling out

a woman's name in the rooftop garden.

What name?

[intriguing whimsical music playing]

Yeong-suk.

Yeong-suk?

Yeong...

-[metal clangs]
-[clears throat]

If you're there, please come out now.

[Secretary Na] The name is Yeong-suk.

Ah, right.

He keeps saying,
"Please come out if you're there."

-And it's...
-Just forget it.

That name's familiar. Yeong-suk.

Sure.

[music turns tense]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[insects trilling]

[music fades]

[sighs]

[quirky music playing]

You find anything?

We've kept a very close eye on him
24 hours a day for the past few days,

and we made a record
of his movements every hour.

However, his movements were quite unusual.

What's he up to, this guy?

What's this? "Batting cage"?

Yes, you put money in
and they give you five balls to swing at.

He went there after work.

-With who?
-Alone.

-[clangs]
-[children] Whoa!

[clanging]

-[all] Wow!
-[Beom-jun] Fine.

Next. What's "Grandma's Handmade Food"?

Grandma's Handmade Food is a diner.
He ate there every day.

-With who?
-Himself.

I ate there once for research purposes.

Wonderful food.
No wonder he would eat there alone.

Why would he have dinner there all alone?
That's sad.

It's not like he's homeless.

And yesterday, I noticed
he turned in close to midnight.

Ah, yes, that day he had dinner again
at Grandma's Handmade Food.

He had some pork, got bottled water
at a convenience store

and then went
to the elementary school by the house.

Why would he do that?
Secret meeting with someone?

-Who was it?
-No, he was alone.

-What's at an elementary school?
-He ran.

-He ran?
-Yes, like how back in school,

they made you run laps
after class as punishment?

He runs around the field just like that.

-But why?
-Right.

It's not like he's joining
the National Sports Festival,

but he was singing
and shouting by himself.

Mmm, I was a bit scared.

-[Beom-jun sighs]
-Want to watch the video?

[Hyun-woo yelling]

[man 1 sighs, shudders]

[in Korean]
♪ Don't ask me why I'm leaving ♪

♪ I was ♪

♪ Such a fool ♪

[in English] What is going on?

We told you, something's up with him.

On his way home,
he met a stray cat in the neighborhood.

-[meows]
-He said hello and gave it a snack.

If he doesn't have a mistress, shouldn't
he be meeting up with movers and shakers?

Did you really investigate?

I know this may sound
like I'm bragging right now,

But I have the information to find people
even if they end up in North Korea.

He really does. He's persistent.

[man 2] Mmm!

The Queens Law Department director
is meeting with a cat on the sidewalk?

-Come on.
-It's Meow.

-What?
-The cat's name.

Well, he kind of rules this area.
He's ferocious.

But Mr. Baek named him,
so they've got quite close.

I even found an ex-CSI hacker
and had him hack into Mr. Baek's phone.

He has lots of pictures of Meow here too.

[quirky music continues]

He's strange, isn't he?
Yes, we thought so too.

What kind of a man

takes all these pictures
of the woman he wants to divorce?

Oh, and if you look at this one carefully,
the angle makes the legs look really long.

You can tell he put a lot of effort
into this picture.

-This is love.
-Hundred percent.

[crickets chirping]

[Beom-jun sighs]

[music swells]

[music fades]

Um, at the very least,
he isn't sleeping around on you.

[Hae-in] You don't know that for sure.

You put a tail on him before, haven't you?

You really think
he'd start behaving strangely right now?

Guess not.

The numbers will tell me everything.

We'll be done with the audit soon.

[Beom-jun sighs]

[Secretary Na] They've thoroughly
reviewed all his finances.

Everything from the law firm's
consultation fee to his litigation costs.

But it all looks spotless.
After reviewing it all,

it's amazing he spends so little money.

The only thing he frequently
spends money on is the car wash.

-However...
-However?

He did withdraw
millions of won in cash from time to time.

-Really?
-Yes.

And on the days he withdrew that cash,

he put 300,000 won
on his credit card at Moulin Rouge.

Moulin Rouge?

-A club?
-Flower shop.

[suspenseful music playing]

[shop bell chiming]

[car door opens]

[Secretary Na grunts]

He did the same today too,

and delivered flowers
to someone named Kim Min-ji.

Kim Min-ji? A girl?

I suppose.

Ah.

So he went to go meet this Kim Min-ji

with a bouquet of flowers
and a wad of cash.

Where is she?

Kim Min-ji. Where is she, huh?

[softly] Uh...

KIM MIN-JI
GANGJU-GU, SEOUL

DAUGHTERS
KIM MIN-JI

CEO HONG HAE-IN OF QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE

[Min-ji] Yes. All right. Thank you.

-Ms. Hong.
-[shoe thumps]

Ms. Hong, I'm...

[Hae-in] Ms. Kim Min-ji?

You only need
to provide service to customers.

[sobbing]

[Min-ji] The company's mutual aid
association prepares everything.

Yet you still sent flowers separately
and donated so much condolence money.

And now you're here. [crying]

I don't know how to thank you.

-[sobbing]
-[solemn music playing]

[whispering] It's okay, it's okay.

[solemn music continues]

[music fades]

I guess Director Baek Hyun-woo

has been sending condolence wreaths
in your name all this time.

That's very thoughtful.

-It's not bad, I guess.
-What?

Funeral homes all look alike.
Yet this one is actually quite beautiful.

Adding in dahlias and tulips
instead of just having chrysanthemums

make them look a lot nicer.

Are those angels?

They're rococo. I like it.

They have halogen lamps
for the mourners' side.

Over there,
they have a spotlight on the portrait.

Um, do you need this place for anything?

Huh?

Well, you're looking at
everything quite closely.

I'm just looking.

-Oh, interesting.
-[Hae-in clears throat]

Haven't been somewhere
like this in a while.

[girl sobbing]

The funeral is where we usually go.

[somber music playing]

We don't see a lot of children
crying like that.

Everyone's either talking
to their attorneys about inheritance

or to their accountants
about paying gift taxes.

[girl] Mom.

You're right.

[girl continues sobbing]

They look like
they actually are in mourning.

[somber music continues]

Why would you send flowers?

And give them money?

You're scheming behind my back.
It's despicable.

Even if my memory starts to fade away,
I will never forget what you did to me.

This has been
the most difficult time in my life.

And you still left.

You won't have the time
to ask for my forgiveness.

So no matter what you do going forward,

I will despise you until I'm dead.

[somber music playing]

So you can... stay put.

I don't want you doing anything.

Just get the hell out when I tell you to.

[somber music continues]

Yeah.

-[cell phone snaps shut]
-[music fades]

-You came out fast.
-Of course.

What is it?

I'm sorry.
I don't want to add fuel to the fire.

That's fine. Add fuel. Go ahead.

What is it?

Did you know, I've gotten
really close with Secretary Kim?

We're on the phone just now, wondering,
"Are they ever going to reconcile?"

"Let's make sure they don't
run into each other."

-You're my secretary...
-It's not just the secretaries.

All of the employees
are losing their minds.

They actually prefer
how cold you used to be.

There's so many ups and downs these days.

-It's just...
-Enough. Stop it.

I don't want to hear this.

I warned you beforehand.

The best welfare
that you could provide all of us

-is the two of you not fighting.
-Stop it.

Try going on vacation. Overseas.

Aren't you busy?

-Of course. I'm your secretary.
-[cell phone dings]

I see you're having dinner with Mr. Yoon.

You've been seeing him a lot.

[Secretary Na clears throat]

Isn't it brilliant?

You've avoided
making the store split level,

an entry fee and 8%.

It's not bad.

However, why does Hercyna's main store
want to hire the employees?

They only want employees 27 and younger.

All right. Why?

They don't want old employees
selling their products.

[scoffs]

Ridiculous. What's wrong with being old?

Getting older is a blessing.

I think that's what
people should be jealous of.

Hermann is a jerk.

[Eun-sung chuckles]

Are you backing out of the deal?
He accepted most of our conditions.

"Our"?

[teapot thumps]

The conditions you wanted.

That's right.

He accepted those conditions
all because you decided to get involved.

So?

What is it you want?

Because I owe you.

You keeping it for later makes me jumpy.

If there's anything I can do for you now,
I'll repay you.

-Divorce.
-What?

Divorce Baek Hyun-woo.

-That's what I want.
-[pensive music playing]

[scoffs]

He tried to leave you, and for some reason
you want to stay together.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[glass thumps]

I'll decide that.

You're crossing another boundary.

[Eun-sung sighs]

You want to see crossing a boundary?

When his seat's empty...

can I take it?

[chuckles]

And that right there
is what crossing a boundary looks like.

-[gasps]
-[knocking at door]

[cutlery clanging]

I'm not hungry.

When I'm in a bad mood,

I tend to not digest well.

[piercing note plays]

[exhales]

[pensive music continues]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Hae-in breathing heavily]

-[music crescendos]
-[objects rattling]

[tense music playing]

[music crescendos, fades]

[Yang-gi] He was adopted by
a Korean family when he was 12.

The Korean community in America is small.

Someone who grew up
in the same neighborhood as him

is a new attorney at my law firm.

They weren't close, but his family
was well-known in the neighborhood.

-Why?
-Once they adopted Yoon Eun-sung,

his new parents moved into a bigger house.

Yoon Eun-sung entered
an expensive private school

called Hillcroft Academy.

School costs over 60,000 per year.

But his adoptive parents
weren't rich at all.

Are his adoptive parents
available to talk?

I already asked.

[sighs] They both passed away.

They got into a car accident
from drunk driving.

But everyone thought it was strange.

Because neither one
of his parents were drinkers.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[remote beeps]

[indistinct beeping]

[door lock clicks, beeps]

[door closes]

-[footsteps approaching]
-[beeps]

[music crescendos, fades]

[Eun-sung sighs]

[remote clatters]

You can't just show up here.

So how is it?
I've kept it vacant all this time.

Just go.

It's just reassuring to have us
living in the same house once again.

[pensive music playing]

[inhales sharply] I said you should go.

-Ms. Moh, you were the one urging caution.
-Don't call me that.

It's Mom.

[inhales]

You told me I couldn't call you that
so I've held my tongue for so long.

I can't seem to say it out loud anymore.

Yes.

What unbelievable lives we've lived.

Still, I don't regret it.

[scoffs]

You don't? Stuck here like a prisoner?

Oh, that's one of our housekeepers.
She's been here for a long time.

Ah, not just any housekeeper,
she's above the others.

My grandfather relies on her.

There's no need
for you to worry about her.

Oh, and over there, that's a...

[footsteps receding]

[pensive music continues]

Oh, it's so salty.
I guess Ms. Moh lost her touch.

Why would she season the food like this?

That's why I've been saying... [sighs]
this woman needs to go.

Oh, believe me,
she'd already be gone if I had my way.

[chuckles] Eat. The rest is all right.

All right.

[cutlery clanging]

How many years have you missed out on?

Thirty or so?

Well, of course.

I wanted to hold my son close,
to be a mother to him all those years.

But I would have had to make you
seaweed soup without meat

for your birthday.

And barely pay
for your uniforms for school,

living dirt-poor like that.

And all I could say was,
"We're a family. Just hang on."

"Good days are coming."

Yet those good days would never arrive.

[inhales deeply]

-Isn't this house lovely?
-[music fades]

Chairman Hong is so meticulous.

He took five years to build this place
where others would have built it in one.

There's not a single thing
he didn't take care of,

even the rocks in the garden.

And now,

we can push everyone else out.

You and I will soon own it.

-[Seul-hee sighs]
-[pensive music playing]

No need to think about the past.

We have a new future now, a new destiny.

The people here had everything,
and they were happy.

Now, it'll be ours at last.

-And we'll have each other.
-[scoffs]

You make it sound so easy.

We haven't won yet.

[young Beom-jun] Look!

[young Man-dae] No, we're going now.
Kick it. Kick it toward me.

[young Beom-jun]
Oh, I wanna do it? It's mine.

[young Man-dae]
Beom-jun, it's going that way.

[young Mi-suk] Hey, kids,
come get a drink.

Hey, Mom brought juice.

-Let's go.
-[young Beom-jun] Can I eat now?

-[young Mi-suk] Sure.
-[young Beom-jun] Can I really eat?

[all squealing, laughing]

-I surrender!
-[young Man-dae] Hey!

-[young Beom-seok yelps]
-[all laughing]

[young Man-dae] Here,
my little fortune cookie. [grunts]

Are you up?

Goodness,

you're so pretty,
my fortune cookie. [laughs]

-Ah.
-[young Beom-ja coos]

[young Man-dae] Hey, Beom-jun!
Hey, hey. Be careful, huh?

Yeah, let's get the kids over here.

[continues indistinctly]

Just look at him, watching his kids
and his wife having fun.

We have to take that from him.

So...

I need us to act right now.

[music crescendos, fades]

-What is this?
-You may use it as you need.

Well, what do I do with this?

Secretary Jang said you're
under investigation for your slush fund.

And it's not like you can just
send your son or grandson off to prison.

They're too important.

-Okay, so...
-I can go.

We'll say I used the scholarship fund
as a cover-up for the slush fund.

But you, however, had no idea.

I'm not a family member
or an executive of Queens Group.

If I say I did it and I deceived you,
it wouldn't affect the Hong family.

Even if the press cover it,
I'm the only one who would be criticized.

And I don't have
any special honor to protect.

So it doesn't matter to me.

Whether it's the prosecutor's office
or jail, I can go.

Don't worry about a thing.

[tense music playing]

Having ten children...

is nothing compared to you.

[music crescendos, fades]

[rain pattering]

[Meow meowing]

[car door closes]

[meows]

Hae-in.

Here.

What are you doing out here in the cold?
Where's the car?

Where's your car? Where's Mr. Oh?

You're right.

How did I get here?

[sighs heavily]

This happens a lot these days.

I don't have enough time,
but I keep losing it in pieces.

Why are you here?
How'd you know where I was?

[sentimental music playing]

Was it my umbrella?

You gave this to me a while ago.

[chuckling] I was
surprised when you did that.

Hae-in.

Don't give me that look.

I have a 51% chance.

I'll work on getting
a treatment in Germany.

Hae-in?

What? What is it?

Oh.

Oh, that's right. You know Ye-na?

She got into a car accident
a couple days ago.

She lost consciousness,
so they took her to the ER. [distorts]

They took her to the ER and apparently,
her husband came running with an attorney.

And apparently her husband
came running with an attorney.

He was trying to get her signatures
while she was still alive.

Apparently, Ye-na actually regained
consciousness from all the noise.

[cries]

["Fallin'" by Isaac Hong playing]

[breath trembling]

You all right?

I'm sorry.

What do you mean you're sorry?

[sniffling]

Oh.

Are you worried about me?

[sniffles]

Don't be afraid.

[Hyun-woo crying]

Baek Hyun-woo.

I love you.

[song swelling]

[song ends]

-The name is Yeong-suk.
-Just forget it.

-That name's familiar, Yeong-suk.
-Sure.

[door opens]

That was a while ago.

[door closes]

He's still looking for her?

GUIDE MAP

4 YEARS AGO

Hyun-woo, did you know?

I hear there's a raccoon in our garden.

Nah, no way.

What kind of raccoon would live in Seoul?

-[chuckles]
-But I've seen it several times.

-Really?
-Mmm.

It'll come out of hiding
when there's no one else around.

So it'll come out?

How weird is that? [laughing]

You... you must think
I'm stupid or something.

No, it's the truth.

Her name is Yeong-suk.

[whimsical music playing]

[scoffs] I don't believe you.

Don't believe me?
Call her name when no one's here.

She doesn't come out every time, though,
only when she feels like it.

Nah.

No way.

I don't believe it.

You'll find she's very cute.

[clears throat]

You're fooling me again.

No way.

She has round eyes.
You'll like her if you see her.

Sorry, but you can't fool me
with something like this.

-Baek Hyun-woo is an idiot.
-[music fades]

How can he still believe that?

Does he believe everything I say or what?

[chuckles softly]

That's why he fell for it
when I said I'd make him happy.

How foolish.

Yeong-suk.

Listen, if you're there, please come out.

Yeong-suk?

[sighs]

[chittering]

[gasps]

[echoing] Yeong-suk!

[sighs]

[upbeat song playing]

Please come out, Yeong-suk.

QUEEN OF TEARS

[song continues]

[Hae-in] And he ran.
Gukbap again. Must be good.

[clangs]

[Hyun-woo] Where would I go
without Hae-in?

Get out!

Alumni reunion? Bar?
I know what's going on here.

-Another woman.
-[groaning]

[Hae-in] Why are you holding out
and humiliating yourself?

[Soo-cheol] Like today is going to be
the best day of my life.

[Eun-sung] Because in the end,
I will be the one by her side.

-[Beom-ja yelling]
-Let her go! [yells]

[Hyun-woo] If you ever try harming her,
I'll be there to give it right back.
