EPISODE 4

Thanks.

Ji-yul. Where's your room?

Yu-jin! Oh, no!

You...

You know...

What? Say it again. What?

You know...

You know who did it.

I do?

Who is it? Who did this to you?

It was you.

You die too. Die!

You should die too. Die.

Die! You should die too! Die!

Auntie!

Real auntie, wake up.

All right. I'll get up.

Stop it.

It's a refreshing morning, right?

- Auntie.
- Hey, Ha-yul.

Can you give me a moment?

Auntie, I'm done.

Okay. Wipe and come out.

You need to wipe it for me.

Wipe it for you?

Let's put this on, Ji-yul.

No. I'm going to wear the bear.

Put this on just for today.

I don't want to. No!

Eat.

Do the Jjong Jjong hairstyle on me too.

I can't do human hair.

- Eat up.
- Do it for me.

It's embarrassing that
I'm always getting your help.

It's not.

It's always the busiest in the morning.

Each pack is one serving,
so just warm it up and eat.

Let me know when you finish them.

No.

I can't ask you for more help.

I'm hurt to hear that.

I was especially close with this family.

- Do you want a hairpin here?
- Yes.

A hairpin...

I wonder where it is.

Ms. Song.

I was looking for a hair tie.

The structure is opposite
to that of my house.

Do they feel better now?

Yes.

Thank you for that day.

Today too.

You don't have to thank me so many times.

You're Yu-jin's sister,
so you're like a sister to me too.

But you see,

I've known Yu-jin for over three years.

How come I've never heard of you?

We haven't been in touch for many years.

Many years? For how long?

Since our junior year in high school.

We met again after 18 years.

I see.

You two finally reunited,
but Yu-jin ended up like that.

I can't imagine how heartbroken you are.

Anyway, are you going to
keep that up there?

- Why do you ask?
- It's a little eerie

to see a dead person's face every day.

We should all let her go and move on now.

There.

What's this?

I'm dying here, Ms. Jang.
Can you please answer my call?

Which is the final version?
"Final final"? Or "Final for real"?

You should at least tell me what to do
to fill in for you.

If you're free, would you like
to have brunch?

No, I'm good.

Come on. Join us.
We've all been waiting for you.

When Ji-yul and Ha-yul were missing,
all these moms helped you find them.

You haven't thanked them yet, right?

No.

Thank you for all your help.

- No problem.
- It's all about helping each other.

Let's not do this here.

Why don't we talk more
while we have brunch together?

All right.

Oh, right.

I forgot about the most important thing.

You need to get a new card key.

I told you.

Without a family certificate,
we can't give her a resident card.

Sir. I'll tell you once again too.

She'll live here in Ms. Oh Yu-jin's stead.

I understand that.

But I can't make an exception like this.

- I'm okay, so...
- Stay out of it.

Are you being like this when you're aware
of what happened to that family?

What about those poor kids?

She even quit her job
to come look after the kids.

Can't our apartment community
do that much for her?

You talk about principles and rules,

but you just don't want to
go through the hassle, do you?

Or should I call up the association head
and put this to a formal resident vote?

You don't think I can do it?

- Look at the camera, please.
- Okay.

I'll take your picture now.

One, two, three.

Oh, right.

I didn't send you the link for
our apartment moms' club, did I?

- I don't need...
- I guarantee you that you'll need it.

TRINITÈ99 MOMS' CLUB
INVITE

Check it.

YOU'RE INVITED TO TRINITÈ99 MOMS' CLUB

SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

It says it's not time to sign up.

That can't be.

Oh, no.

I sent you the wrong link.

LEAVE CHATROOM

I'll send you the right one.

YOU'RE INVITED TO
HIGH PRESTIGE APARTMENT MOMS' CLUB

Where did you get those sunglasses?
They're beautiful.

My husband gave them to me as a gift.
Aren't they luxurious?

They're beautiful.

What were you talking about?

You're here. Hello.

Don't just stand there.

Oh, right. Jung-ah.
Min-sung's Canadian ice hockey teacher...

Did he play in the NHL?

I think so. Why do you ask?

- For Eun-han?
- I'm thinking about it.

We're different from you and Na-young.

We can't just let our kids loaf around.

She's right. We don't have
a company or a building to leave them.

That building is my dad's.

Either way, they'll end up
going to Min-sung and A-rin.

No one told you to be incompetent.

- My goodness, Jung-ah.
- Oh, my.

I can't believe you just said that.

You must be left-handed, Mi-h*.

Only when I eat.

It's an old habit.

Do sisters take after one another?
I've never heard that before.

I guess it just happened
as one mimicked the other.

Who mimicked whom?

Did you think it'd look special
to eat with your left hand?

Why are you embarrassing her?

Besides, what's the point
of asking that now?

She's gone now.

Let us stop being so sad about it
and just mourn her.

We must let her go and get over it.

That's what Yu-jin would want from heaven.

You're right.

- It breaks my heart.
- I know.

I wish the entire community
would feel the same way.

I hope one rotten apple
won't spoil the barrel.

Jung-ah. You know, that...

I have a lot to do, so I'll get going now.

Still, why don't you stay longer?
Our food will be served soon.

I'm sorry. Don't mind me
and just carry on.

Why do you keep embarrassing her?

When did I do that?

They must really be sisters.

They have a similar temper.

I hope one rotten apple
won't spoil the barrel.

Let us stop being so sad about it.

We must let her go and get over it.

BANNAE-DONG m*rder CASE
STILL A MYSTERY AFTER 10 DAYS

I don't have time to think.

MOMS' CLUB

Parenting advice.

Hello. I need advice on raising


Due to personal reasons,
I'm looking after two girls.

But I have no experience,
so it's quite difficult.

I would appreciate any advice,

especially on children's health
and education.

HELLO. IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

PLEASE VISIT THE MOMS' CLUB OFTEN.

First, eating is most important.

Give them protein twice a day.

It's best to give meat with less fat.

BEEF TENDERLOIN


As soon as they wake up,

have them take probiotics
with lukewarm water.

Give them zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C

and propolis before bed too.

Keep the humidity between 50% and 60%.

Always check the concentration
of fine dust

and have them stay indoors on bad days.

It's good to make them
form a habit of morning work.

Three English quizzes
or three pages of math would be enough.

Why won't it come off?

MOM

Hi, Mom.

That was good.

I wonder who will pay today.

You got that from your husband,
so you should pay, right?

Don't try to make me pay.
Take out your resident cards.

HIGH PRESTIGE

What are you doing?

Who will it be today?

Our husbands?

How about a designer bag?

HONEY, I'M AT A DEPARTMENT STORE.
CAN I BUY A DESIGNER BAG?

MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE


What's wrong with you?

MY BREATH, MY SOUL


Go ahead.

But with your card.

MY MINION SU-BIN


I'm excluded then.

Why do you even ask? Of course you can.

He's trying so hard to please you.

I'm already jealous
that your husband is nine years younger.

Aren't you worried?

Well...

The one who should be worried
is not me but my husband.

He knows exactly who holds
the power in the family.

Su-bin can never leave me.

I am certain of that.

- Oh, come on.
- You're so awesome.

But you're not certain of his love?

Why wouldn't I be?

Anyways, it looks like
you'll have to pay for today's lunch.

Thanks for the lunch, Na-young.

THE MAN WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME


What did he write?

Tell the sales assistant in charge.

I'll pick it up on my way home.

So actions speak louder than words?

Of course.

Money follows where the heart goes, right?

Today's brunch is on me.

SANITARIUM

Since you had me cooped up in here,
you haven't come by all that often.

I'm surprised that you took a half day.

You took three days off for the funeral.
Is it really okay?

It won't get in the way of your promotion?

It's okay.

I should've gone to the funeral.

We were mother and daughter at one point.

But if you think about it,
her life was quite unfortunate.

When we lived in Seoloh-dong,
the realtor told us

that her face screamed misfortune.

And her gaze was spiteful.

Back then, I didn't believe him.

How could you say that?

It's true.

It's not common
for someone to die that way.

The k*ller is still at large?

My guess is that
it was due to a love affair.

There's a reason that people say
a woman's fate takes after her mom's.

- Mom.
- What?

I didn't make that up, did I?

You sometimes make me look bad like this.

What does it make me
if you react that way?

I'm sorry. I wasn't yelling at you.

In any case, forget about her now.

Nothing good comes out of
holding onto something unpleasant.

I'm saying this
because I know what you're like.

I should get going now, Mom.

All right.

I took up too much of your time.

Get back to work.

You need to pay back the loan
for our house in Gapyeong.

It's a little eerie
to see a dead person's face every day.

We should all let her go and move on now.

In any case, forget about her now.

Nothing good comes out of
holding onto something unpleasant.

It felt unfair that only you seemed
to be living such a good life.

So if you don't want others
to find out what you did, shut your mouth.

Hello.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Did something happen?

They had an argument,

but they won't tell me what it was about.

But they soon apologized and made up,
so they should be okay now. Right?

Is it good?

Why did you two argue earlier?

You shouldn't fight.

Okay.

Shall we go to the playground afterwards?

- No.
- I want to.

What's wrong with you two?

I want to go!

I'm not going to the playground.

Ji-yul, why did you throw...

I hate you, Ji-yul.

I want to go to the playground.

We can plant Mom's tree again.

We can't talk about something bad.

We were told not to talk about Mom.

What are you talking about?
Who told you that?

Who told you that?

Grown-ups.

You all hate it.

You all hate it when we talk about Mom.

Grandpa,

Ms. Jo, and the other aunties.

Even you.

I know it's because
talking about Mom is bad.

No, I don't hate it.

It's not bad to talk about her.

It's because grown-ups

are sad.

We get sad when we talk about your mom.

You can talk about Mom if you want to.

You can talk about her anytime you want.

Mommy!

- Jung-ah.
- Hi, Jung-ah.

What are you doing, girls?

You're planting a new tree?

Yes.

I wish we could join you,

but we only came to get his scooter.

Oh, right. We are all planning
to go to the kids' cafe tomorrow.

You will join us, right?

Well...

- Sure.
- Good.

See you tomorrow then.

But isn't it better
to plant a different tree?

What if somebody uprooted it
with ill intent?

All the more reason to do this.

And we can find out
who did it with what intent.

Can I join them?

No, we have to go.

Well, then. See you tomorrow.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Are you okay?

What? Yes, I'm fine.

TREE OF MEMORIES

Mom would love it.

Will flowers bloom too?

I don't know, either.
Let's come by often and check.

I'll go get some water. Wait here.

- Okay.
- Okay.

How do you find this neighborhood?

- Not easy, right?
- Pardon?

I'm sorry to say this,

but I don't think
it'll get any easier for you.

Why are you being like this to me?

Look. Do you think
planting a new tree there

would make you a better person
or something?

Or you think
you can make a difference here?

What are you talking about?

Don't do anything that stands out.

Don't try to do anything.
Just do nothing and stay quiet

and get lost quietly.

I don't understand
a single thing you just said.

It makes me more curious

to find out what you don't want me to do
and why you hate me so much.

Are you deaf or something?

When you told me
not to do anything that stands out,

was it about Yu-jin?

What are you talking about? That's absurd!

Your reactions are more honest
than I thought.

I'm sorry, but I'll do whatever I want.

I have no reason to listen to you.

So-won!

So-won.

It's nice to see you often.

You just got off work?

Yes. I picked So-won up on my way home.

If you haven't eaten dinner yet,

why don't we all eat together?

I didn't mean to eat at your place.

It's okay. I cook fast.

Since my husband went to India for work,

it's been lonely, just the two of us.

It's nice to eat with you guys.

Actually, I have something to ask you.

It isn't easy
to look after two kids, right?

That's not it.

You told me the other day

that those moms
also held grudges against Yu-jin.

Who exactly were you talking about?

ZOLNIDEM

Eat this too.

Na-young, did your husband
pick up a purse for you?

Why is your social media so quiet?

Did he not keep his promise?

Waiting for my husband

who's bringing home
a new baby that'll fill my heart.

I just nonchalantly mentioned it,
but he's actually picking it up for me.

How did I marry such a perfect man?

Na-young, I'm so jealous.

So? Is it going to be a hot night tonight?

JUNG-AH


They are all lies?

Well, I'm not saying they're all lies,

but you can't believe everything
on social media.

I don't know if they actually
made up after the performance,

but they acted like
they were best friends on social media.

I don't know what really went on.

Anyway, she's the type of person
who gets jealous easily

and likes to start rumors.

In some ways,
she and Yu-jin were the total opposite,

but they were always together.

So she must have pent-up emotions.

Could those pent-up emotions
be close to resentment?

Who knows?

The closer two people are physically,

the easier it is to feel resentment.

Wait.

Slow down!

You don't have to walk us home.

It's okay.

It's nice to take a walk
after eating dinner anyway.

Let's put it up here.

How pretty.

So-won looks a lot like me, doesn't she?

What?

But isn't it cute?

Yes.

Aren't you getting off?

Get back on.

Don't get me started.

She yelled at us to replace
the cameras immediately.

She yelled at us saying that
it'd be impossible to prevent crimes

with such low-resolution cameras.

Are you sure it was her?

Yes, of course. She's famous.

Welcome.

Beer? What's gotten into you?

- Was it you?
- What are you talking about?

Before things get complicated,
if it was you, tell me now.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Did you uproot the tree?

No. Who said that it was me?

Why would I do such a thing?

Like you said,

she's already dead anyway.

Are you sure?

There's nothing going on
that I don't know about?

I'm telling the truth.

Okay, then.

What is it?

The girls' aunt. What did she say?

You heard it too earlier.

She's determined
to find who uprooted the tree.

I knew it.

I knew she would go around
stirring up the neighborhood.

I told you, didn't I?

We shouldn't have let her
set foot here in the first place.

Don't be ridiculous.

You must keep your friends close,
and your enemies closer.

By the way,

why are you so hostile against her?

If you didn't do it,
you shouldn't care what she does.

What is it?

Did you do something?

What about you?

Why are you bothered so much by her?

You even

call her our enemy.

You wouldn't understand
even if I told you.

Just enjoy the beer.

How did you hurt your finger?

It looks like you got a cut from a wire.

MR. GONG CHANG-HYUN

Let me ask you for one more favor.

Oh, Ms. Jo.

You're going home?

No.

I'm meeting someone nearby.

Your boyfriend?

No, just a friend.

I see.

- Have a great time.
- Thank you.

What? Jung-ah.

What are you doing here?

I had a drink with Su-bin.

He drank too much,
so I dropped him off at home.

He didn't tell me about that.

Come on. Even married couples
don't tell each other everything.

We do.

I guess he forgot.

Anyway, I'm meeting someone, so bye.

And you should give Su-bin some honey tea.

Hey, you're home.

I thought you'd be home late.

- I guess you just got home too.
- Yes, a little while ago.

I didn't have that much to drink.

- Su-bin.
- Yes?

If it's too tough for you,

you can tell me.

I mean, at work.

What would be so tough?
You're supporting me with everything.

Your brothers are helping me out
with this investment deal too.

THE MAN WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME

Where were you?

I knew it.

I knew it!

What is it this time? Have you gone mad?

I'm going to k*ll you.
I won't forgive you this time.

Hey, come on.

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

What did you do with her?

Your shirt reeks of perfume.

Stop it. Please!

You're not going to open it?

There's a wait on the purse.

So I got this instead.

The store clerk was wearing
too much perfume.

That must be why.

I'm sorry.

I forgot to spray deodorizer.

Don't cry.

LEE JIN-SEOP

What? You really came?

EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

You can imagine how urgent it is for me.

It is unbelievable.

My bones will be pulverized
by the pressure I get from the chief.

So you're really staying here?

Why? You'll tell everyone again?

Come on, Ms. Jang.

Mind your own business. Just go.

- But...
- Go.

- Come on.
- Go.

I asked because I'm really worried.

Can't I worry about you?

You're living in a house
where a woman was m*rder*d.

Are you really all right?

I know this is a great place,

but why would you stay here?

Oh, right. And...

- Is there more?
- It's not that.

I'm sorry about the other day.

You said that you wouldn't
be disappointed in me,

but I still wanted to apologize.

I want to get along with you.

It won't ever happen again,

so you can let your guard down
with me sometimes.

That's all.

I'll get going now.

Let my guard down?

Chief asked me to confirm with you

if there aren't any additional revisions
you made.

Are there any other changes

than sending a request
to the development team?

I can never let my guard down with him.

Ms. Jang. Are you on your way?

You haven't forgotten
about the kids' cafe, right?

I'm late again.

- Real auntie!
- Real auntie!

For real?

Real auntie.

- I'm sorry.
- Real auntie.

I don't think I can make it
to the dinner meeting today.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

It's all right.

It doesn't look good to be absent, though.

I'm really sorry.

Ms. A-ra.

I should get back in now.

- Bye!
- I've never seen that bracelet before.

Yes, it was a gift.

From whom? Your boyfriend?

So you did see him last night.

Oh, no. What's with me?

It's rude to ask these questions
these days.

Anyway, it looks prettier
on a young woman.

- Let's go, Min-sung.
- Let's go.

What are you doing?

Let's go.

Today...

Are you free this evening?

What?

Why do you ask?

We have a parent meeting once a month.

We'll have dinner after a brief meeting,
so you should come.

I see.

It's a casual meeting,
so you don't need to dress up.

Is it too much for you?

No.

It's just that

you're so kind to me.

Accept goodwill just as it is.

It begins at 7:30 p.m.
on the second floor of the center.

At 7:30 p.m.?

Oh, you don't have anyone
who could watch the kids, do you?

Jung-ah, I need to go somewhere right now.

The brochures haven't been
picked up, right?

They'll be delivered later.

I'll pick them up.

Please watch A-rin for me.

Them too. Wait up.

I'm sure you'll need my help.

What are you doing? Get out.

Let's go together.
I want to ask you something too.

I'm not trying to argue with you.
I'm just curious about...

What are you so curious about?

I told you not to go asking questions.
I told you not to stand out.

Are you that curious why she was k*lled?

That's not what I was going to ask you.

m*rder?

Don't be absurd. That woman...

She k*lled herself! It was a suicide!

She got worked up by herself and died.

I don't know why you're like this,

but you're too worked up.
So let's talk some other time.

She brought it upon herself.

So why are you badgering me?
What did I do?

I understand,
so please slow down, Na-young!

Sure.

There's a wait on the purse.

So I got this instead.

The store clerk was wearing
too much perfume.

That must be why.

How disgusting.

She deserves to die.

What are you doing?

I'm fine. What about the girls?

I don't know what to say to apologize.

I am fine,

but Ms. Jo seemed quite shaken up.

I won't lie and blame it
on her poor driving skills.

I'm sure you saw what happened.

Another kid's mother.

A store clerk.

Today, it was the teacher.

It's like an anger-management issue.

You know how a person can flip out.

I guess she can't control
her emotional impulses.

Sometimes, she doesn't seem to remember

what she did.

Why do you keep looking at the clock?

I told you not to move.

All right.

She said she'd go somewhere tonight.

- Where?
- I was going to,

- but I decided not to.
- Why?

Because I can't take you.

Why not?

Hold on.

My body aches from the car accident,

but I can't miss the meeting.

You can only see
half of my handsome husband.

What a crazy...

I should go.

I won't take long, okay?

What about us?

What about the handover?

You've babysat a lot, right?

- Just for two hours, okay?
- What?

I'll explain when I get back.

Ms. Jang.

Who are you?

Me?

- Your uncle.
- A real uncle?

"Real"?

There's a fake one too?

Yes, a real uncle.

Across the street...

So-min.

I saw on your social media
that you went camping last weekend.

Wasn't it tiring?

Right. Going on weekend trips
is tough on moms.

Doing chores and watching kids.

So I don't like to travel
unless we stay at a hotel.

Oh, no. You must do all the work
when your family travels.

My husband does everything.

He won't let me do anything.

When it comes down to it,
he cares about me very much.

I'm so jealous.

Camping is not a big deal.

If you have money, you must buy comfort.

It was to celebrate my promotion.

We should all go golfing together.

Do you all have memberships at Triad?

I have one at Hasley. Won't that work?

No.

Speaking of which,
why don't we set a date?

- Sure.
- Sure.

We call it an investment meeting,
but it's not a big deal.

It's just a dinner meeting

with people who love
and support Inner Spirit.

Are we finally getting a chance too?

We've been hearing great news.

Maybe we should also
take a number and wait with our money.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hi.

HERINITY ENGLISH KINDERGARTEN
PARENT MEETING

It's a casual meeting,
so you don't need to dress up.

I'm sorry.

Please clean this up.

Are you all right?

Don't drink too much.
This isn't that kind of occasion.

Mr. Lee.

Hello. It's been a long time.

I've been meaning to call you
about something.

You must be very busy these days.

How dare you touch him!

Please excuse us. I'm sorry.

She's had too much wine.

Let's go get some fresh air, Na-young.

Let's go get some fresh air.

Please excuse us.

Na-young.

Come with me.

Eight, seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one. Time's up.

Ready or not, here I come.

Where did you go?

Ji-yul. Ha-yul.

You are so quick.

When did you become so quick?

What's wrong with you?

How much uglier must you get?

Why didn't you say anything?

- What?
- How did you feel when she touched you?

Was it nice? Or was it thrilling?

You've really gone mad.

You're the one who's gone mad.

How much longer must I put up with you?

Tell me. Tell me!

I'm sick and tired of your delusions.

Why do you make it
sound like it's all my fault?

You know it's all your fault!

That's enough!

Another kid's mother.

A store clerk.

Today, it was the teacher.

"Another kid's mother"?

You want to leave me, don't you?

Right? That's what you're
thinking about every day.

But that's too bad.

I'll never break up with you!

I give up! I can't find you!

- Ta-da!
- That's where you were hiding?

I'm impressed.

- Ta-da!
- I lost again. Again.

Attack!

Where did you find these?

In the closet.

Kids shouldn't look at these.

What are they?

- I want to see them too.
- No.

By the way,

is this your dad?

NAME: KANG DO-JUN

A delusion of infidelity
and an anger-management issue.

On an impulse...

Could it have been that?

Why am I thinking about this?

- You're back early.
- Are they asleep?

It was tough, wasn't it?

If you want to thank me, just tell me

why you left in a hurry
leaving the kids with me.

I know.

It's strange.

It's strange and unsettling.

That's why I'm not acting like myself.

So what's going on?

Right. I forgot to put these away.

I'm sick and tired of your delusions.

Why do you make it
sound like it's all my fault?

You know it's all your fault!

That's enough!

BATTLE FOR HAPPINESS

VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 1

I don't think
I should ignore these photos.

Ji-yul, Ha-yul, are you ready to go?

You need to pack your bag too.

So the gem was here!

It's not just me. There are many others.

Is the post still there?

It was around here somewhere.

It can't be about a love affair, right?

Like mother, like daughter.

Even if you resented Yu-jin,
how could you harass the kids?

Are you crazy? How dare you
accuse me of m*rder!

Oh Yu-jin knew, too, didn't she?

If it gets out, it'd embarrass me.
But I don't care.

But that's not the case for you, right?

I'll tell Jang Mi-h* everything.

Look at yourself right now.

What are you doing?

Why did you lock this?

What on earth exactly happened?
