Original subtitles

[This program is suitable for viewers ages 15 and up.]

[Call Me Mother]

At times like that, think about the things you like, Ms. Kang.

If you do that, it can help you stop crying.

Mom!

How disgusting.

Did you find out what her mother was doing at the time?

- Pardon? - Also...

there is a man living with them.

- Are you hoping that Hye Na is dead? - Whether we find the child or not

I'm going to request an arrest warrant if I suspect any child abuse.

Right now, Hye Na being dead is best for all of us.

You didn't like your mother, Ms. Kang?

I...

wasn't my mom's real daughter.

Find Soo Jin.

Now, you'll be the one throwing your mom away.

Can you do it?

Call me "Mom."

You're... my mom now, Ms. Kang?

[Call Me Mother]

Where are we going?

The house I used to live in when I was six years old.

That house is still there?

Yeah, probably.

Because they sent me a letter last year.

Who's there?

Miss Clara.

From the time I was six to eight years old...

I lived there with 15 other kids.

And just like those other kids...

I was a child who had been cast aside by her parents.

Miss Clara...

was quite fat.

So I felt like I'd suffocate whenever she hugged me tight.

She always wore this dress that would flare out

and we'd always hide under her dress while playing hide and seek.

Oh?

And there, I'd always smell the faint scent of soap...

and the scent of laundry that had dried well.

She loved kids who ate well the most.

Grow up fast, grow up fast.

- Eat a lot, and grow up fast. - Eat a lot, and grow up fast.

I always thought that she might be trying to fatten us up to sell us off, but...

Is this... the place?

[This facility has been shut down. Do not enter.]

"House of Love."

I see a light!

[Police Station]

Right now, Hye Na is...

better off being quietly dead, for all of us.

But what if...

she's not dead?

It'll become troublesome.

Quite, quite troublesome.

According to the medical records from December 21st...

Hye Na was hit by a baseball on the day before

was bleeding from her ear, and bruised her cheekbone.

Is that true?

Yes.

You know...

we looked through all the CCTV footage from the afternoon of the 20th, onward.

I wonder what time she was hit by the baseball.

She's coming home from school here now, at 2:11 p.m.

And she's leaving the house now, at 2:48 p.m.

7:16 p.m.

She looks like she's in a good mood.

She doesn't seem like a child who got hurt, does she?

And at 7:27 p.m., you got home.

And...

at 10:05 p.m., you're leaving the house with a man.

I didn't see this man entering your home

so that means that he was home all day.

It seems that you two are living together.

He must like baseball.

Here you are, at exactly 1 a.m.

Where did you go, ma'am?

We'll find out even if you don't tell us

but it'll be easier for us if you just tell us

and it'll be less of a waste of civilian tax money--

I went to karaoke.

Oh.

Your child was injured, and yet you went to karaoke. Okay.

All right, on the next day, at 3:23 p.m.

you two went to the hospital.

Judging from just this, it seems that the child was fine when she went home

but came out of the house with an injured ear.

How does it seem to you?

She got hurt the day before, before she went home.

This was a weekday, and yet she didn't even go to school.

At first, we thought that she'd only gotten a bruise

but when she woke up the next day, she was bleeding and it was infected.

Do you know how shocked I was?

I went to work early in the morning

and yet I barely managed to come home early to go to the hospital!

I can't even make out her eyes, nose, and mouth on this small screen

but it seems that you can somehow tell if my child was injured or not?

Mother.

Then, if you tell us where and when Hye Na got hit by the baseball

we'll find a witness. Then you, Mother--

Stop calling me that! It's not like I'm your mother!

I'm sure that you have kids of your own at home

but would you feel good if someone kept referring to you

as "Father" at a police station?

Wow.

Oh, I apologize. I...

Well, I'm a bit taken aback when I hear someone call me "Father" too.

Because I'm afraid they'll ask me for money.

Oh!

Ugh.

Please don't take me away.

I'll eat all my meals well and be obedient.

So please, let me live here.

Miss Clara.

Please let me...

You can't turn the light on.

People will come for us if they know we're here.

It seemed to me that your boyfriend likes baseball.

Does he, himself, play baseball as well?

If the situation isn't in your favor, just cry.

That's a more natural reaction to your kid dying, after all.

And if they ask about me

tell them that I treated her well, like she was my own daughter.

Are you...

asking me if my Honey threw the baseball at her, by any chance?

Well, I'm not asserting that that was the case.

I'm just covering all of my bases.

My Honey...

was far nicer to her than her own biological father was.

Last year...

he was the one who piggybacked her and ran to the hospital

when she got sick!

Please calm down, Mother.

Oh, oops.

I mean, um, Madam.

We still have a lot to get through. Um...

The injury she got when she fell down the stairs.

The injury she got when she was burned by hot coffee.

The injury from when she fell from a tree.

I'm going to thoroughly go through each and every one of these.

But if you start crying already...

You know, my mom is really good at making curry.

She's good at making other things, too.

Omurice, and donkatsu.

Oh yeah, and my name is Yoon Bok. Kim Yoon Bok.

Thank you for the meal!

Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with another delicious meal today.

Please watch over the other hungry children in the world.

But you know, Miss Clara.

Who's coming after you?

Yogurt.

Are they bad people?

- A chef. - A chef?

A hunter.

She's playing a word game.

We'd always play these word games when we were eating.

Fishbowl.

Harbor.

Um... hole?

Idiot.

"I am the mother who lost her child yesterday."

"I'm crying so much right now."

"But the police are treating me, who hasn't been able to eat or sleep"

"like some sort of criminal, as if it was my fault she disappeared."

"On the day of the accident, the police arrived on the scene"

"long after the fire trucks and ambulances"

"and stopped the search operation after only a couple of hours"

"citing the weather as their excuse."

"Even though..."

"my daughter may have been calling for her mother in the cold ocean."

Detective Lee Chang Geun at Mooryung Police Station

snubbed me, calling me "Mother" at every turn, when he's much older than me--

Hey.

How is that snubbing you?

What else could it be, then?

Everyone else always calls me "Student" or "Miss" when I go out!

Nobody ever refers to me as "Mother"!

Oh, whatever! Just...

say that you were threatened.

Say that they couldn't even find the kid

and yet they're trying to make you, the mom, out to be the criminal.

Like that.

Honey!

Can't you stop playing with that baseball, already?

Or throw it into the ocean, or something!

Lee Seol Ak.

Born in August 1988, in Cheongju.

He spent 9 months in a juvenile detention center

due to a special assault charge when he was 16

and spent 1 year and 3 months in prison when he was 18, for arson.

And when he was 23, he was fined for animal abuse.

300,000 won.

He's 31 years old now.

But he's been relatively quiet for the past eight years.

The two things that I absolutely do not believe

are one, that he quit gambling.

And two, that he doesn't torment weaker people anymore.

Who did he beat up when he was 16?

Um... the old lady who lived upstairs.

He beat her up with a baseball bat and broke her rib.

He had 12 charges in all.

Seems like that bastard really likes baseball.

And where did he start the fire?

It was just a normal house, but he didn't really have a reason for doing it.

He said that he just did it because "he was curious."

Crazy bastard.

What about the animal case?

He threw his girlfriend's cat off a balcony from the 15th floor.

Mom.

Why do people lose their minds when they get old?

The one thing I don't understand, no matter how much I think about it...

is that, even though there were other teachers and volunteers who visited us...

she was raising 16 kids at once...

and yet, this huge house was always so immaculate

and smelled wonderful.

I think she must have completely exhausted herself back then.

And so, she has nothing left...

and has become a child, I think.

Mom.

I think there's someone outside.

Who?

Can't you hear the sound?

The sound that sounds like, "who, who"?

It's called a "Who Bird."

A "Who Bird"?

Every winter it cried, "who, who" from beyond the hills every night...

so I was really scared when I first came here.

But it's still here.

Want me to lie with you?

When kids first came here

they all got scared, and three or four of them would sleep in the same bed.

Were you scared at first, too?

No, Yoon Bok.

I was always scared.

This one is my mom when she was a baby.

And this is my mom from when she was three to six years old.

[Nam Soo Jin]

[Nam Soo Jin: Came to Facility on November 9th, 1986]

And this is my mom from when she was six to eight years old.

1986.

November 9th.

I looked out the window in the morning

and it seemed that there was a large dog tied in place in front of the house.

I went outside to see what it was

and it turned out to be a small girl, who looked to be about six years old.

She must have been sitting there for a long time

because it was clear that she had urinated where she was sitting.

Oh, child!

I hurried to hold her, but she was locked in place by a bicycle lock.

Just wait, Child.

In my hurry, I tried to rip her dress to free her

but the child strongly resisted.

A locksmith came and unlocked the lock.

But even then, the child wouldn't move

so I brought some scorched rice outside

and sat next to the child.

Here.

The child...

stubbornly sat there...

and only looked in one direction until the sun came down.

It wasn't until much later

that she said, in a tiny voice...

My name is...

Nam Soo Jin.

From the time she was six to eight years old

my Soo Jin...

I'm here, Ma'am! Ugh, why is it so cold here?

Really? It's cold here, too.

- Good work. - Oh, geez.

I spoke on the phone to the staff at the research center

and they said that Soo Jin said she'd come this week.

But it seems that she hasn't come yet.

I think I'll need to go there myself to know the specifics.

All right, hurry and go.

But the thing is, the research center is on an island

so I'll have to take a nine-hour car ride

and then take a boat for another two hours.

- We'll start the rehearsal now! - Oh.

I have to start rehearsing now.

Why did Soo Jin have to go to a research center like that of all places--

- Jae Beom. - Yes?

I said, I have to start my rehearsal now.

Um, yes, Ma'am.

And be sure to call me if something happens!

There probably won't be much traffic there, right?

- Be careful when you're driving. - Yes, Ma'am.

[Horim University Hospital]

[Patient name: Kang Young Shin Date of scan: December 20th, 2017]

Did the kid's mom leave?

I have reasons to suspect her of abuse and negligence.

Do you have evidence?

Not yet.

Forget about the negligence part, at least.

Her kid is dead, after all.

Don't do anything if you don't have any concrete evidence.

If we keep facing criticism...

I'll rearrange the investigation team, starting with you.

You understand what I'm getting at, don't you?

[They call themselves cops?] [He must be out of his mind!]

"Who the hell are the police of this country even protecting, anyway?"

"How are we supposed to have children and raise them in this kind of country?"

[They're not even human.] [Is it okay for cops to do this?]

Honey!

Come look at this.

All these people are on my side.

Aren't we going to eat?

Are you hungry?

Want me to prepare some food for you?

"Mom."

"I'm going to run away."

"There was once..."

"a baby rabbit..."

"that wanted to run away."

"Mom."

"I'm going to run away."

Miss Clara's nephews took her to an assisted living facility last year

after Christmastime.

She definitely has started to lose her mind a bit

but she's still strong enough to hold and raise a newborn!

But her nephews want to sell her land.

Geez, she doesn't have any kids of her own

so the entire place will be theirs once the orphanage shuts down.

Sometimes, she still seems to have lucid moments.

That'll be 9,500 won.

You have to wash your hands if you've been out.

Yes, Ma'am.

Soo Jin always used her fists first instead of her words.

She used to hit anyone she didn't like, without discriminating.

She'd throw things if she got mad

and scream, like, "Ahh!"

And she'd pull at her own hair.

One time, she got so mad that

she pooped out a huge turd, right where I could see it.

Right in the middle of the kitchen. Ugh.

She's lying. It was a small poop.

And she just wouldn't eat!

That bothered me most of all.

As if that tiny six year old had no will to live.

Then, she suddenly stopped being such a troublemaker.

And she never caused any trouble, ever again.

Is that true?

My mom wouldn't come to get me

no matter how much trouble I caused.

I don't want to become a mother.

No matter what.

I'll never become a mother.

On December 17th, in Mooryung of Gangwon Province

Kim Hye Na was last seen at the harbor before disappearing.

The police are still searching for the missing Ms. Kim's whereabouts

but they have yet to find any concrete answers.

The mother of the child who has yet to return

is full of worry, and hasn't been able to leave the harbor.

My daughter, who died in such a pitiful way...

is still shivering in the cold ocean.

I want to get her corpse out of the ocean as soon as possible...

and have a proper funeral for her.

Today marks the third day since this elementary schooler has gone missing.

The police have been conducting a large-scale investigation

but they have yet to find anything significant.

Furthermore, on the internet

a post about the child's mother being aggressively investigated has circulated

which has caused there to be some criticism toward the police.

According to the testimony of the person who last saw Kim Hye Na

the missing Ms. Kim was wandering near this harbor by herself.

The name of the missing child is Kim Hye Na.

Yoon Bok.

She is a girl who has just turned nine this year.

She was wearing a red jacket and yellow sneakers when she disappeared...

Ms. Clara...

said that she wanted to watch TV, so...

If you have any desire to go back to your mom, even now, just say the word.

It's okay.

When I was six years old...

I was tied to a post under the tree out front.

They said that when they brought me inside to get me washed up...

my entire body was covered in injuries.

And yet, I still wanted to see my mom.

So I understand.

If you want to go to your mom, even now--

My mom...

I only wanted to know...

how sad my mom would be if I died, is all.

But my mom...

isn't sad.

She wishes that I were dead.

Cut my hair so that I look like a boy.

Will I be able to protect this child?

Will I be able to become this child's mother?

I don't have a mother.

So how could I become a mother?

You...

were a child who didn't cry, Soo Jin.

If you'd cried just once, it would've made you feel better.

But it seemed to me that you'd decided you wouldn't cry until your mom came.

And it pained me so much to see that.

It's okay.

You'll feel better now.

I don't know, Miss Clara.

Am I doing the right thing?

Why did I decide to become that child's mother?

When I sent you away after you were adopted...

I said the same prayer, right here.

"I really don't know, God."

"Is it the right thing to do to send Soo Jin away?"

"Did I do the right thing?"

And now...

I think I did the right thing back then.

I'm so happy...

to see that you've become a mother.

I give you my blessing, Soo Jin.

Miss Clara.

To tell you the truth, that child is...

Yeah.

Becoming a mother...

is similar to having contracted a dangerous illness.

Not everyone can overcome that illness.

It's a very, very difficult thing to do.

But...

you'll do just fine.

I can tell, just from looking at Yoon Bok for a short while.

She's so precious...

and is so considerate of her mother.

Listen carefully, Soo Jin.

Soon, some people will be coming here.

They will come into my house with their shoes on

and will probably kick my things around.

These are just like the umbilical cords of my babies.

[Nam Soo Jin]

I wanted to give this back to you...

when you returned here as an adult.

It's a sad thing to slowly lose your mind as you get old.

But it can't be helped.

This is all a part of God's will, too.

I have to slowly make my preparations to leave now

while I still have a shred of my sanity left.

Goodbye...

my children.

Goodbye.

You saw Hye Na?

I think I saw her.

I hate myself so much.

Mom!

Because it feels like she died because of me.

How many times have you looked at this, already?

Is there something there?

I just don't get it.

A small child like this walked for over an hour for no special reason

and is walking as if she has a GPS inside of her head.

Does this make any sense to you?

Seeing her stop and stare at the sky like that

it almost seems as if she saw a UFO or a ghost.

And look, she's even waving her hand at them.

Was it a plane?

They're birds.

See? You can see them flying, over here.

They're migratory birds.

[Fisherman from Baek Island Port]

I told her to hurry and go home since the winds were really strong

but she flapped her arms like a bird, and said, "Okay," I think.

Excuse me.

- That child... - Yes?

waved her hand at the birds

and said, "Hey, take me away, too!"

Yeah, that's right.

"Take me away, too!"

Yeah.

So, to sum things up

the mother has no interest in her child

and the man her mother lives with is a scary person.

And every day, the child didn't want to go home, so she wandered around

and followed the birds for over one hour.

And this is the end of that road.

She wanted to follow the birds

and ended up falling into the water.

That's what happened.

I think it makes sense.

Is there still something that seems off?

Her homeroom teacher gave birth to twins yesterday

so it'll be a while until you'll be able to meet with her.

Oh, really?

Is her substitute homeroom teacher around, then?

Why?

Um, well...

I just want to know more about Hye Na's school life.

Or maybe about her social life.

Oh, she's not here now.

The teacher who was here briefly went to go study abroad.

Before this incident happened.

She was a researcher, you see.

She studied birds.

Birds?

Airplane.

Seagull.

Train.

We have to clean up all the toys in the front yard and pack our things.

Mom, Mom! "Train."

So that we can leave at any time.

Circuit breaker.

Giraffe. ("Gi-rin" in Korean)

A word that starts with the "rin" sound?

Um...

Where are we going?

I'm thinking about it.

Miss Clara is coming with us too, right?

We're on the run right now.

Miss Clara said that she's on the run, too.

She needs to be taken care of by someone.

Like, at a hospital.

I can take care of her.

Miss Clara said that she doesn't want to go to the hospital.

She said that she wants to live with her children.

No.

Miss Clara...

is quite an important person to me, your mother.

She was by my side during the toughest part of my life...

and she's still the first person I think of during tough times.

But the most important thing to me

is escaping safely, with you.

And Miss Clara wants that, too.

For me to watch over you well, with all my strength.

She raised me to be like that.

But, Mom...

I can't do that.

I can't tell Miss Clara...

to take care, and just leave her here.

How will she be able to eat and sleep by herself?

What if she thinks that we cast her aside?

Has Ms. Kang Soo Jin ever told you about the students she taught?

She doesn't really like kids, so...

Did she have personal exchanges with students who liked birds, maybe?

It seemed to me that the kids didn't like Soo Jin, either.

Why? Do you have any suspicions?

No, I just wanted to ask Ms. Kang something, is all.

For example, "Could an elementary schooler really walk 2.8 kilometers"

"when it was negative 5 degrees Celsius outside, just because she liked birds?"

Well, when I was a kid

I walked over five kilometers way out in the countryside

just to catch a glimpse of a new robot that came out.

Haven't you ever done anything like that, Detective?

Yes, well, all right.

Please give me a call if you get in touch with her.

Yes, I will.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Kang Soo Jin.

The rings that you retrieved...

were 14, in total.

You said you'd leave when you retrieved 20 of them.

I know that you're not the type of person

who would have left before collecting 20, unless something extraordinary happened.

And I know that this assignment that you've left for me is no ordinary task.

Today, a detective came asking about you.

Even though I don't know where you are.

You remember the GPS tracker that I showed you last time, right?

I stuck it onto the truck

belonging to the man you told me about, just in case.

The battery will work for two years.

I knew you'd be here, Aunt.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

I want to live here.

Aunt.

This house isn't yours anymore.

I'll take you somewhere much more comfortable.

I'm the one who planted all the trees here

and I painted all those, over there.

And I raised all my kids here, so why isn't this my house?

Aunt.

You don't have to suffer anymore.

We'll make this place into a beautiful vacation home

so don't worry.

What's the matter?

Why are you acting as if what I'm doing is wrong?

Oh, whatever!

She can't even recognize people properly anymore.

Take whatever you can take.

- All right. - Okay.

What do we do?

Take this bag, Yoon Bok.

And from this point on, don't say a word, okay?

Only listen to what I say, and look only at me.

Okay?

Go in here.

Joon Young.

What?

Where did my kids go?

What are you saying?

All the kids grew up and went their separate ways!

It feels like only yesterday when I changed your diapers

and fed you food.

It's not like you changed my diaper that much.

I'll walk with my own two feet, so tell these people to let go of me.

I have a few things.

I'm going to look around one last time.

I haven't taken my things out yet.

Yoon Bok.

You...

are my last child.

So please...

take good care of your mother.

Your mother was the most fearful among my children.

She'd always quake in fear because she couldn't trust anyone.

But you're with her, which makes me feel relieved.

Miss--

Soo Jin.

Thank you for becoming a mother.

I was so happy to have been able to hold your child.

I'd like it...

if God would allow me to remember this, at the very least.

The fact that my Soo Jin became a mother.

[Nam Soo Jin]

My mom, from the time she was six to eight years old.

I just thought of one.

Huh?

A word that begins with the "rin" sound.

It was my turn, after she said giraffe (gi-rin).

A word that starts with "rin."

Conditioner. (Rin-su)

I have to tell Miss Clara.

[Missing child in Mooryung]

[Kang Soo Jin]

[Email]

[Did you get to Iceland safely?]

A detective came by and asked about you today.

Let's go, Yoon Bok.

[To: Song Ye Eun]

Your package is ready to be sent.

Here.

[To: Song Ye Eun; Gangwon-do Mooryung City, Baek Island-dong 203]

[Baek Island Apartment Suite 503]

Why did you send a package to Ms. Ye Eun?

There's a 1 in 10,000 chance

that things could go wrong...

so I'm asking Ms. Ye Eun to help us if they do.

That's 1 in 10,000, so...

chances are we'll be all right, 9,999 to 1, right?

Yeah.

There's a 9,999 out of 10,000 chance that we'll be fine.

That's a relief.

Let's go.

I could have gone to see a different doctor

and asked them to read over the results of my mom's CT scan.

And said I wanted a second opinion before making any important decisions.

But I thought about it again, and I'm my mom's biological daughter.

So I had no reason to do that.

Explain this to me.

What's going on?

Um...

it seems that Ms. Cha didn't tell you herself.

It has spread, so--

Wait.

It spread?

Has she relapsed?

Um...

well...

Mom.

How did you meet the mother who'd raised you?

One night, I lay down to sleep...

when a new child came.

That child cried all night and couldn't sleep...

Are you scared? Want me to lie with you?

Everyone cries in the beginning.

Because they want to see their moms.

Soo Jung's mom is really sick.

And as for Hyun Jung's mom...

she ran away.

Hyun Ji's mom died while giving birth to her younger sibling.

Ji Young lost her mom.

Mi Young's mom went crazy and got sent to a mental hospital.

And as for Young Seon's mom...

her dad killed her mom.

My mom was scared that I'd follow her

so she tied me up under the tree over there and ran away.

How did you get here?

But, the next day...

that child was actually quite a large adult.

And she was quite beautiful, too.

How big was she?

Here, over here.

You're good!

She was around 32 or 33 years old, I think?

She was fully grown, and had come to volunteer there.

I think she slept there for about a week before leaving.

She slept quite soundly.

And had a big appetite.

And then, she came back, saying she'd adopt me.

No! I won't go!

Please don't send me away, Miss Clara!

I'll eat all my meals and be obedient!

Please?

Why are you doing this to me, Mom?

What did I do wrong?

When it came to walking, smiling, talking

and even choosing a man, I obeyed you!

And yet...

why is it that you only care about Big Sis?

Were you planning to tell only Big Sis that you're dying?

Yi Jin.

- Don't get worked up, and-- - Do you think...

Big Sis will come running back if you tell her that you have cancer?

The person who will take care of you when you get old and sickly is me!

The person who will be sad is me!

I know, my daughter.

I know that you'll be sad.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

So...

are you going to die?

Even when it comes to dying...

I was presented with a lot of options.

I could die slowly and painfully

while wasting money.

Or I could do whatever I wanted for six months or so

and die suddenly.

What do you mean, there are options when it comes to dying?

You have to hang in there no matter what and survive until the end!

You have me, my husband, and my kids, too.

I'm going to think about it for a long time...

and then do as I wish.

The only one who didn't yield to your will was Big Sis, wasn't she?

Let's go.

Where are we going tomorrow?

The place I want to go to the least in the whole world.

Oh!

Wow!

It's still here.

Look at this!

What kind of bird is this?

It's a Gouldian finch.

Can't I get a haircut here?

Wait, Ms. Song!

Did you have a nice honeymoon?

Oh, hello!

You have a package.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

All right, goodbye.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Huh?

[Samhwa Barber Shop]

Oh, I'm so hungry today that I don't think I can go outside today, either.

What do you think will be fun to do?

Oh, let's try drawing a pretty princess's house!

Get your hair cut, and play at the playground over there.

I'll be there later to pick you up.

All right.

Why would you have her play at a playground when it's cold out, ma'am?

Pardon?

It would be better for her to watch TV here and eat some snacks.

What kinds of snacks do you have?

Can't I stay here, Mom?

I'm afraid that'll be too much of a burden.

I'll entrust her to you, then.

I won't be back too late.

All right.

She said that she'd come here, but Soo Jin hasn't contacted them

so the people here can't give us any definite answers, either.

Then, wait for her there.

You went all that way, after all.

But I don't even know when she'll be here--

Jae Beom.

Come back to Korea on the next flight back.

Soo Jin...

just came here.

I'd like it if I could protect myself at any time.

I have one condition.

Meet with me, just 10 times.

I think she was a researcher of birds.

I heard someone told you to go there.

We're on the run right now.

I need your help, Mister, for the first time in my life.

It's okay even if it's a little illegal, right?

They're here to catch us.

Get it together, Soo Jin.

Can you undo these?

Someone is waiting for me, you see.

What do I do if they take away Yoon Bok's mother?
