01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

I did it because Jong-seon told me to.

All I did was follow him.

Hey, Du-seok.

-So he's the accomplice?

-Yes.

Mr. Kim Du-seok led the crime

and drove the car afterward.

Mr. Park Jong-seon was the lookout

and was in the passenger seat

when the accident happened.

I could forgive you for the accident.

But…

how could you just leave behind

a bleeding man?

I can't forgive you for that.

I…

I'm sorry.

I'll never request leniency.

Please make sure

they get the punishment they deserve.

Yes, ma'am.

And I asked you this before.

If you find the person

who reported the accident,

please let me know.

The thing is…

Did you find the person?

The caller

was Mr. Park Jong-seon,

Ms. Seo Yeong-bok's husband.

What?

There's a witness who saw him

get out of the car and make a call.

The caller's voice in the recording

of the emergency call

matched Mr. Park Jong-seon's.

It seemed like he didn't tell you

because he felt guilty.

Yeong-bok, it's me.

Why did you come?

You should've gone to check in on Ms. Oh.

Let's go together.

She said…

she didn't want to see me ever again.

She'll feel uncomfortable if I visit her.

Of course, she might feel uncomfortable.

She might hate it.

But if you don't do anything,

you guys might actually become strangers.

Will you be okay with that?

Of course not.

She means so much to me.

If I could,

I'd get on my knees

and beg for forgiveness.

I'd apologize sincerely.

But…

But…

I want to tell her

I had complicated circumstances…

and beg her to hear me out just once.

Then go and tell her.

It'd be shameless of me to do that

after what happened.

I can't talk to her.

It's out of the question.

I'd look so desperate and pathetic.

What's wrong with that?

Regardless of the reasons,

you hurt her feelings.

Don't just sit back and be defeatist.

You should do anything to mend things

even if it may make you seem

desperate or pathetic.

Don't avoid it.

GEUMJE HOSPITAL

You didn't get a new patient gown today.

A new patient gown?

Yes.

His sister got a new gown every night

because he sweats a lot.

She said he needed to go to bed

in a clean gown.

She isn't his sister.

We're not even family.

I thought she was

because they seemed very close.

Your blood pressure is normal.

Please let us know if you have a headache.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

I'm glad that it's normal.

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

You cut ties with them.

I heard that it was another man

who drove the car.

In any case, he called the ambulance.

How could you say that in this state?

You nearly died!

Cutting ties with those nobodies

is not a big deal.

I know.

I'm not a saint,

so I did get upset.

But

they don't seem like nobodies

to you.

You aren't

the type to open up to people easily.

But you opened up to them

and got close to them

as if they were your family.

You must've gotten close

to them for a reason.

A reason, my foot.

Stop talking about them.

I'll get a new gown.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Mom, can I go and buy an ice pop?

Sure.

Oh, yes!

Where did Dad go to make money?

I told you that he went abroad.

That's right.

I hope he brings back presents

like clothes or a bag.

He'll make a lot of money abroad,

so I'm sure he'll bring presents.

Mom.

Yes?

Dad isn't away for work, is he?

Did you hear something?

When Dad was absent for a few years,

I had a hunch

that he wasn't away for work.

I feel like it's the same this time.

-Eom-ji.

-I'm okay.

I know how nice Dad is to us.

It's just…

I wanted to tell you this.

I was clueless when I was young.

But it must've been hard for you,

not being able to tell anyone.

Thank you for staying strong

and protecting us despite everything.

I admire you.

Admire, my foot.

Mom.

Yes?

Until Dad receives

proper punishment and returns,

let's hold out well together.

You have another person on your side,

so don't be weak.

You're a big girl now.

You're such a big girl.

You really are a big girl now, my dear.

What?

Hello?

Yes, Yeong-bok.

Where's the dishcloth?

Yeong-bok would wash it every day,

fold it nicely, and put it

in the drawer next to the couch.

Ms. Oh.

Ms. Oh, there's something I want to say.

Did you even hear what I said?

Leave.

Ms. Oh.

Would you please spare me a minute?

I need to take care of my husband.

I'm okay.

I was going to take a nap anyway.

Go ahead.

Ms. Oh.

I was so worried about my children

that I wasn't thinking straight.

But I didn't know from the very start--

Forget it.

Tell me why you're really here.

Do you want a settlement?

No. That isn't why I'm here.

Then what?

I told you I didn't want to see you again.

So why are you here, rambling on and on?

Do I look like a joke?

No, it isn't like that.

I just…

I just…

I just wish…

I just hope…

you aren't hurting so much.

I'm not brazen enough

to ask for your forgiveness.

But if you could understand me just a bit,

then the pain you feel might lessen a bit.

That's why I'm here.

I don't know.

Since the friendship is already over,

I don't feel much pain.

Stop with your presumptuous worries

and mind your business.

Ms. Oh.

Why are you

still not telling me everything?

That night,

the person who called

the ambulance for my husband

was your husband.

In any case, he's responsible

for the accident.

I thought that wasn't important.

And had I brought it up,

you would've probably thought

that I was after a settlement.

So…

Thank goodness you have a conscience.

Ms. Oh…

Yeong-bok.

Yeong-bok!

Yeong-bok! What's wrong?

My belly…

Please take me to an ob-gyn.

An ob-gyn?

Yeong-bok, are you pregnant?

Yes.

This won't do. I'll call for help.

-Oh, no.

-Jeong-suk.

Oh, no.

Yeong-bok, take a deep breath.

Breathe. That's right.

What should we do? Let's sit here.

Hold on.

Get up!

-What?

-You aren't actually unwell!

You played tag

with your girlfriend yesterday!

Hurry up!

Okay.

Yeong-bok.

Yeong-bok, come here. You can do it.

Hold tight, Yeong-bok.

Move out of the way!

Move out of the way! It's urgent!

Make way for us!

Make way!

Move out of the way! All right.

It's pelvic pain.

It happens when the bones and tendons

move around or stretch

because of the fetus.

The pain could intensify

depending on the mother's condition.

Well… Is the baby okay?

Yes. Ultrasound revealed no problems.

You can go home after a bit of rest.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank goodness, Yeong-bok.

Listen.

You should've told me from the start

that you were pregnant…

I see why you couldn't.

Had I known, I wouldn't have said

such harsh words.

Why are you crying again?

I didn't say much.

I…

I know better than anyone

how kind you are.

Don't be mistaken.

I don't feel bad for you at all.

I just feel bad for the baby.

The baby is innocent.

Ms. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'll atone for it for the rest of my life.

Stop crying.

I haven't forgiven you yet.

Okay.

It's a relief, right?

GEUMJE HOSPITAL

Seriously.

I'll atone for what I did to you

for the rest of my life.

I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

Words won't do.

I'll give you a chance

to pay me back properly in the future,

so brace yourselves.

Yes, sir.

I'll do anything you ask me to do.

I'll do whatever, whenever.

Yes, I will.

I'll forward the settlement agreement

along with the case materials.

It couldn't have been easy,

but you made a decision in a few days.

Thank you.

Please make sure

people don't find out about the case.

If word gets out,

Yeong-bok's children will suffer.

I told the others to be careful,

but I'll do it again.

Thank you.

Right.

You lent me this handkerchief

the other day.

-I'm sorry I'm only returning it now.

-That's okay.

And I prepared this as a gift.

It's okay.

I made it. It's nothing big.

Thank you.

Is it a mouse? It's very cute.

It's a rabbit.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's a signature of mine.

Many people mistake it for a mouse.

Thank you.

It's a rabbit.

BURAMARBLE

One, two… Oh, no.

What? Mom, you're

on Dong-u's property again.

-It's a hotel.

-It's Madrid.

It's a property with a hotel,

so the toll is 1.2 million won.

Did you say 1.2 million won?

Oh, no. I'm 30,000 won short.

Unfortunately, you went bankrupt.

All right. The two of you should play.

I need to pack up since Min-h* is going to

his uncle's place tomorrow.

-Okay.

-All right.

Make sure you practice

while I'm at my uncle's place.

Do I need to practice?

It's a game that requires strategies.

We'll be able to have a better match

if you practice a bit.

Okay, I'll try.

-What? Keep playing.

-Okay.

It's my turn.

Hello?

Hello, Detective.

I see.

I was actually curious about that too.

Will the settlement agreement

change the sentence?

Yes.

When it comes to sentencing, the

settlement agreement is the most crucial.

He'll be

in the detention center for a while.

But after the trial,

he might be released on parole.

I'm really glad to hear that.

Yes.

I think the case will get wrapped up soon.

Would you be free

to have dinner with me tomorrow?

I've been very busy since our date.

Okay.

I can do it since Min-h* is going

to my brother's place with my mom.

Where shall we meet?

Why don't you come to my place?

I want to cook dinner for you.

Okay. That sounds good.

Okay.

DATE IDEAS: ROLLER SKATING RINK,

MOVIE THEATER, GAME ARCADE

Hey, Ju-ri.

-You're here.

-Yes.

You said you'd think of a date idea.

Have you decided?

No.

You know,

it's so hard.

Where can we enjoy a fun date

while avoiding other people's eyes?

If you can't think of any,

why don't we go to a motel?

What? That's a bit…

Dismissive much?

This is a bit awkward.

I said I wanted a casual relationship.

It isn't like that.

All the motels in the neighborhood

belong to my mom.

I used to collect rent.

You didn't want the word to spread.

If we go to a motel,

word will spread right away.

So whether it's casual or not,

we won't be able to go on a date.

It's not like an at-home date

is an option.

I'll figure something out.

For now, why don't we have

a quick date in the dispensary

like the last time?

No. I need to go to the office.

Contact me when you finish thinking.

Hold on, Ju-ri.

But I've prepared everything.

Product description?

Yes. I think we should begin

preparing the brochure

I mentioned last time.

There's a lot of work to be done,

so we should write

the descriptions in advance.

-I see.

-Okay.

So we should pick the products

and write a description for each at home.

Yes. It'll be easier

if you take similar products.

Pick first,

then I'll take the remaining ones.

The branch manager is the best!

I'll take the products for men.

-Will you take the products for men?

-Yes.

I'll take the gel and massage oil.

My sales were the best

when I promoted these.

Then I'll take the slip dresses.

Jeong-suk and I

studied the garments, after all.

I'll introduce it that way.

-All right. I see.

-It'll be professional.

What? Is this for men as well?

GEUMJE OKSAN

MISSING CHILDREN CASE

Detective Kim left early

for his dinner plans.

Shall we go out for a drink?

What? No.

I have something to do.

You should get going.

Okay.

By the way,

you spend a lot of time alone

in the office these days.

It's just that I have work left.

I think you have something in the drawer.

That's the reason, right?

-What?

-You don't want Detective Kim to know.

Right?

How did you know that?

I also stay behind and read it sometimes.

What?

If yours is a foreign one, let's share.

NEOGUNE

10 SEXY MOVES, COLLEGE GIRL

Get out.

It's really good.

-Hurry up and go home.

-It's good.

-Go home already!

-Seriously.

For goodness' sake.

GEUMJE OKSAN

MISSING CHILDREN CASE

Yeong-bok, shall I take more items?

She's busy with her branch manager duties,

so give them to me.

It's okay. It's better to have

something to do.

You must be busy

since you have a boyfriend.

Gosh. Ju-ri, did you get a boyfriend?

How did you know?

I got a hunch when you picked

the products for men.

Enjoy testing the products.

Well, I need to look for a place.

An at-home date is nice,

but neither of our places is free.

Why is an at-home date nice?

Well, it's simple,

yet perfect for getting physical.

They act like

they're just inviting you for a meal.

But when you guys are alone

in the house…

You guys will end up

doing something R-rated.

Something will surely happen.

It might really be just a meal

and nothing more.

What's with the naivete?

Don't act so innocent.

Seriously. You know how it goes.

You're old-fashioned.

There's so much you can do at home.

Why don't you come to my place?

I want to cook dinner for you.

Is she the Virgin Mary or what?

Did a child suddenly pop out?

R-rated, my foot.

We'll just have dinner…

BURAMARBLE

…and play a board game.

It'll be G-rated.

Detective.

Detective.

What?

Why is he taking a shower

when he invited me here?

What for?

Why did you take a shower now?

I had to wash up, didn't I?

Hurry up and take a shower, Jeong-suk.

Hey, you're here.

Yes. The door was open.

I kept it open on purpose.

Sauce splattered while I was cooking,

so I washed my hair.

I thought you might arrive

during that time.

I see.

You must be hungry.

I'm going to make pasta.

Would that be okay?

Pasta?

It's like spaghetti.

I see. Yes, I've seen it on TV.

I'll do it. Just leave it.

There are only a few plates.

We should clean up

to hang out comfortably.

I brought something for entertainment.

Entertainment?

Yes. It's in my bag.

Please take it out and set it up.

Okay.

Did you find it?

Yes.

So you're saying

you brought these for me, right?

You don't know how to play, do you?

I know well, so I'll teach you

step by step.

Oh, my!

Why did you…

My goodness.

These were the only things in the bag.

My goodness, not this bag.

I meant this one.

-I see. Buramarble.

-Yes.

-I'll set it up.

-Okay.

-My goodness.

-Okay.

I should've taken it out myself.

Things got so awkward.

Too expensive.

Ms. Han.

Let's stop having strange thoughts.

Detective invited me with pure intentions.

Ms. Han.

You need to go to Hong Kong.

What?

Go to Hong Kong? What do you…

You rolled the dice and got seven.

Three, four, five, six, seven.

It's Hong Kong.

I see. Yes, Hong Kong.

One, two, three, four, five… Yes.

This Hong Kong.

What other meaning…

I'm sorry.

I had a chat with the in-home sales reps

before coming here.

They said something is bound to happen

if you're on an at-home date.

It's not like I thought

that was your intention.

It's a ridiculous thought, but…

I don't think it's a ridiculous thought.

What?

That thing that's bound to happen

on an at-home date…

I want that too.

OKSAN RESTAURAN

Thank you for the food.

This candy is

the tastiest thing they have.

But you emptied all the plates.

My goodness.

Mom.

Would it be okay if I moved out?

Why so suddenly?

My workplace is far away,

so it gets exhausting.

Isn't it a ten-minute walk?

Even a ten-minute walk

can be exhausting at times.

Gosh, it can't be more exhausting

than having a son like you.

Geez, stop spouting nonsense.

Here. Eat a candy.

That's right. Mom, aren't you going

on a trip abroad with Dad soon?

Yes. We'll go to China

with the Royal Club members next week.

I'm going to Seoul next week for business.

Then Dae-geun will be home alone.

What? Really?

Why are you so surprised?

What? Do you think I'll make you starve?

I'll make a big pot of bone broth soup

before I go, so don't worry.

Thank you, Mom. Thank you so much.

What's up with you?

You don't even like beef bone soup.

Seriously.

That isn't true. I like it.

I'm obsessed with it.

Really? Are you obsessed with it?

HOW TO USE A WHIP

These were the only things in the bag.

My goodness.

That startled me.

"As lightly as possible."

HONG KONG - 80,000 WON

Hello?

Yes, Captain.

Now?

Recently, I talked on the phone

with Yeong-h*'s mom,

who runs a hanbok shop in Yeongeup.

She said a detective asked her

about the missing children case

because he was looking for his parents.

Only I know about it,

so you don't need to worry.

I couldn't get it off my mind,

so I contacted a junior police officer

who investigated the case with me.

He said something strange.

There's an orphanage in Yeongeup.

It closed down recently

because the director passed away.

Following the director's death,

hidden materials were revealed.

He said they seemed to be connected

to the missing children case.

These are

the materials.

Why does he think that?

Yeongeup Orphanage sent about 20 children

for international adoption.

But eleven of them

weren't from the orphanage.

There are no files

regarding their admissions.

Only their adoption applications

were found.

Do the adoption applications have

the children's photos?

Just a few.

They all look similar

since they were all newborns.

It's hard to tell them apart

since the photos are in black and white.

But thankfully, this three-year-old

girl's photos are clear.

Take a look.

It's the same girl, right?

There's a high chance

the other children were kidnapped too.

Is there any information

on who brought in these children?

No, but… My goodness.

A price was written

on the children's files.

It was 10,000 won per child.

TEN THOUSAND WON

In the 1960s, it was a hefty sum.

These children lived

in the unpopulated mountains,

so there were no witnesses whatsoever.

Was there no other link

between the victims?

Perhaps they were born

in the same hospital.

It was rare to give birth

in a hospital back then.

They did have the same midwife.

But she had a solid alibi.

Do you know where she lives?

Excuse me.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm Detective Kim Do-hyeon

of Geumje Police Station.

I have a few questions.

Do you have a minute?

By any chance,

are you here because of that incident?

I did think someone would come.

Thirty years ago, children went missing

in Geumje and Oksan.

I heard you were their midwife.

Do you know anything about it?

Who are you?

Mother.

By any chance,

are you here because of that incident?

I did think someone would come.

Gosh, you're at it again.

Why do you say that

when I visit every day?

She has Alzheimer's disease.

By the way, who are you?

You worked as a midwife's assistant?

Yes. It's been about 20 years.

Twenty years?

Did someone else do it before you?

Yes, I heard that there was

another assistant.

What was the name?

Ok-yeop's mom.

Gosh, do you remember?

Her mind becomes clear from time to time.

Did you say Ok-yeop's mom?

Ok-yeop's mom.

She told me she started

a business in the town center.

She told me to visit.

Do you remember

what kind of business it was?

Who are you?

A woman in her 50s or 60s

with a son named Ok-yeop.

And she runs a business

in Geumje town center.

Those are the clues we have.

Yes.

Since she has Alzheimer's disease,

it's not certain. But we should check.

Ok-yeop isn't a common name,

so I'll go through the IDs

of the residents I've investigated.

I'll come and help after I ask around.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-My goodness.

-Go ahead and eat.

-All right. Take one.

-It looks delicious.

Hello.

-Hello.

-Welcome. Take a seat.

Are you here for sales?

Thank you.

I'm here to ask a question, not to sell.

I see.

Have you heard of the name, Ok-yeop?

He's a man in his 30s.

Oh-gyeop? Like "Oh" of "Oh, no?"

My goodness.

No. It's "Ok," as in, "Okay."

-I see. Ok-yeop.

-Ok-yeop.

-I've never heard the name before.

-Same here.

It's a very unusual name,

so no one would forget it.

But I have no idea.

-Me neither.

-Right.

Why are you looking for this man?

Well…

You see,

someone I met during in-home sales

talked about Ok-yeop's mom.

But I had never heard the name before.

Ok-yeop's mom?

Sun-ae, who has lived here the longest,

doesn't know anyone with that name,

so he can't be someone around here.

Hey, can you stop saying

that I've lived here the longest?

People will think we're the same age.

The same age? Sure.

Stop joking around.

I'm not joking around.

Tell me. Who looks younger?

-I don't know.

-Let's count the wrinkles.

Who has more wrinkles?

Who looks younger?

-One, two, three, four, five…

-I don't have many wrinkles.

-I'll get going now.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

-All right.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-But you have lived here long.

-Hello.

I should leave too.

Let me ask you something.

Do you know anyone named Ok-yeop?

-Ok-yeop?

-A man in his 30s…

His mother…

It makes no sense

that it isn't in the moving records.

Could it be that you got the name wrong?

No, I don't think that's it.

Tomorrow, I'll check…

What? What's going on?

What are you hiding

that you suddenly stop talking?

We aren't hiding anything.

We were talking about a case.

What case?

-Mill…

-Car repair…

You guys are hiding something.

We're a team. Let's work together.

Forget it.

It's a secret project.

How could you have

a secret project with him

when I'm his senior? Why?

It's…

You can't keep a secret.

-Let's talk later.

-Okay.

Detective Na.

What?

It's about the inheritance dispute

in the family that runs a wallpaper store.

What about it?

The second wife's child showed up.

What a mess!

But we can't confirm it

on the resident registration.

Check the family registration.

It'll show both the second wife's child

and the deceased people.

GEUMJE TOWN HALL

KANG OK-YEOP

That means he passed away 30 years ago.

MOTHER: CHO SUN-AE

Cho Sun-ae?

Writing together

makes it feel like a writing contest.

It was hard to write by myself.

I couldn't pick up speed either.

My goodness.

Yeong-bok, you wrote quite a lot.

-Gosh.

-My goodness.

I may not look it,

but I enjoyed writing in my school days.

Let me read yours.

-Do you want to?

-Yes.

Sure, here you go.

"This slip dress

that's as red as a poppy flower

is 'perpect' for showing your sexiness."

-Why are you laughing?

-What?

Yeong-bok, what's "perpect"?

That doesn't make sense!

-What? It's not "perpect"?

-So funny.

Oh, here.

PERFEC

I see.

I told you I'm not very well-educated.

Ju-ri, you made a mistake too.

What? Where?

Where?

"It's a ring-shaped product

that'll bring back

a man's confidence and power.

Hold yourself 'erection'

and wear it close to the body."

This part.

It isn't "erection."

It's "erect."

"Erect."

How embarrassing!

You made a mistake too.

You're not better than me.

But why is it "erect"?

Honestly, men wear this product

and get an--

Ju-ri, it's "erect."

You hold yourself erect.

-Okay.

-"Erect."

Come to think of it,

the problem isn't our writing skills.

We should start with basic grammar.

Ms. Oh will proofread what we wrote.

That's right. Write freely

without worrying about grammar.

-How nice.

-I'll fix everything.

Okay.

I'm nearly done,

so I'll go and buy some drinks.

-Really? Then I want Skoll.

-Skoll.

-I want Tabom.

-Tabom?

I want BB Col.

-BB Col. Skoll, Tabom, and BB Col.

-Yes.

Thank you.

-How about money?

-I have it.

That's right.

PAY PHONE

President of the Women's Club,

it's me, Han Jeong-suk.

You told me to call you.

Yes.

In the neighborhood,

is there a man in his 30s named Ok-yeop?

His mother would be in her 50s or 60s.

Yes. Okay.

Can you stop?

Ma'am.

You're looking for Ok-yeop's mom.

Stop it. It's meaningless.

What do you mean?

He's dead.

-What?

-I'm talking about Ok-yeop.

He died 30 years ago due to an illness.

I don't know what this is about, but stop.

Must you trouble the woman

who's trying to get by

after losing a child?

Do you know Ok-yeop's mom?

I don't know.

Please tell me.

There's something I must check.

Well…

STAR VIDEO RENTAL

It's me.

Yes, I'm Ok-yeop's mom.

Have a drink.

Okay.

So, from 1961 to 1965,

you worked as a midwife's assistant?

Yes.

After losing Ok-yeop,

my heart felt so empty.

As volunteer work,

I helped women give birth.

I had to do something

to pull myself together.

Do you know

how my child died?

A cold.

It was just a cold with a fever.

He just needed

to receive treatment at the hospital…

but we couldn't afford it.

All night long, I tried to break his fever

by wiping his body with a wet towel.

"Baby, don't go. I'm sorry."

"Don't go."

But

his body went limp.

He was a tiny baby

who was barely 100 days old.

I buried him and returned home.

I'm sorry. When I think about that time…

It's okay.

The thing is,

you began running a business

two years after your child passed away.

If I may ask,

how did your financial situation improve

when you couldn't even

afford the hospital?

It only took two years too.

My husband worked hard--

He was a tenant farmer.

Even with your salary

as a midwife's assistant,

you couldn't have afforded such expenses.

There's a story behind it.

I'll tell you everything from now on.

My goodness, I don't know where to begin.

That's right.

Detective, I…

I did take those children.

Dear Heaven, please let

each and every one of the children

be healthy and happy.

Please watch over them

so that they can become important people.

This is my daily routine.

I pray for the children's health

and happiness.

Do you think it makes sense?

You kidnapped children

and sold them for money.

I didn't do it for money.

Every single one…

of these children

came from a penniless family…

INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS SURGE

…just like my Ok-yeop.

Those families couldn't afford hospitals

even if their children got sick.

How could anyone be happy

growing up in such a family?

I think

I saved these children.

"Save"?

I resented my parents all my life.

"Why did they abandon me?"

"Why did they have me in the first place?"

I didn't know that it was your doing.

What? You saved me?

You're wrong.

When I sent the angels away,

I put a tiny cross tattoo

on their foreheads,

just in case I might

recognize them later in life.

But you have nothing on your forehead.

I have a burn scar on my arm.

I've had it since I was left

at the orphanage.

Then you're definitely not one of them.

I cherished my babies.

It looks like

you're an adoptee as well.

You grew up to be a great man.

Why are you so full of resentment?

-No, I--

-Here.

I'm going to pray now.

Even if I were to leave everything behind,

I should take my babies' photos.

Ms. Cho!

Ms. Cho, please come on out for a second!

Ms. Cho, you're inside, right?

Ms. Cho!

Ms. Cho!

What?

CLOSED FOR THE DAY

What brings you here?

Didn't you see the sign that reads,

"Closed for the day"?

I have to ask you something urgently.

Well, I was just heading out.

Shall we talk as we go?

Hold on.

This is Detective Kim's.

Did Detective Kim come here?

Where is he?

Tell me!

Detective!

Detective!

Detective!

Detective!

Detective!

Oh, no.

Detective.

Jeong-suk.

It's okay now.

Let's get out of here.

Be careful.

-Let go!

-My goodness!

What are you doing? Hey!

Let go!

You can't go anywhere!

-Let go!

-My goodness.

It's over, Ms. Cho Sun-ae.

You're under arrest

for kidnapping children

in Geumje and Oksan

and ill*gal international adoptions.

-You kidnapped children?

-No, I didn't do it!

-Is it true?

-Let go!

-Hold tightly!

-Let go!

GEUMJE HOSPITAL

Geumje Police arrested

the culprit behind the horrific crime

of kidnapping children in Geumje and Oksan

and putting them up

for international adoption.

The suspect, Ms. Cho Sun-ae

kidnapped children

from poor families in remote areas

and teamed up with the director

of Yeongeup Orphanage

to forge the documents

-and receive money for adoption.

-Move!

Although the statute of limitations

has expired…

CAPTAIN SEO HYEON-SIK

GEUMJE POLICE STATION

…she poisoned the detective

who was after her,

locked him up, and committed arson.

So we plan to punish her for confinement

and an injury due to negligence.

Are you okay?

I'm glad that she's getting punished,

but I feel troubled.

I thought I was almost there.

Did you bring my belongings?

Yes, I brought mail.

You received a package from overseas.

It's from my adoptive parents.

I see.

They cleared out the garage

and found the clothing

I was wearing when they adopted me.

I see.

What? There's an embroidery.

It could be your real name.

In any case, I know for sure

that it's a new lead for my case.

Ms. Oh. Yeong-bok. Ju-ri.

-Hello.

-Hello.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine. I'll be discharged in two days.

I wanted to thank you guys.

The three of you helped a lot

in apprehending the culprit.

Gosh, don't mention it.

We just did what Jeong-suk told us to do.

My goodness.

Did Mr. Choi get discharged

from the hospital?

Of course.

While we're on that, why don't you come

to my house this weekend?

I'd like to invite you to a party

in celebration of my husband's discharge.

That's right.

You guys should come together

as an official couple.

Ju-ri, it isn't like that.

Okay. We'll come together.

"An official couple."

How sweet.

My goodness, why did you make

so much food?

It's tomorrow, right?

Yes.

My mom, dad, and sister are all away.

The house will be totally empty.

I'll bring the products,

so brace yourself.

Don't run around. You're stirring up dust.

You'll get hurt!

-Calm down, will you?

-Hello.

-My goodness.

-Hello.

-Congratulations on your discharge.

-Thanks.

You didn't have to.

Let me help. What should I do first?

-You're here.

-Yeong-bok.

Ms. Oh, we need another stove.

One won't be enough.

A stove.

I know where it is.

I put it away during work.

Let me go get it quickly.

-Please take a seat.

-Okay.

My goodness.

Gosh.

What?

What is this doing here?

…and found the clothing

I was wearing when they adopted me.

A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS

Your search for your biological parents

went back to square one.

I'll start over.

It's cool that you're a good photographer.

It's wonderful.

No one has said that to me before.

What are you guys doing?

Why are you here?

By the way, you told me

that you excluded Ms. Oh early on.

May I ask you why?

You're a wonderful babysitter.

-Really? Am I?

-Yes.

I'd imagined meeting my mother

hundreds of times.

Perhaps because of that,

I feel better than I expected.
