(Episode 18)
I'm Inspector Cha Taejin of Chamsuri Station.
We'd like to ask a few questions.
Your cooperation would be appreciated.
What is this regarding?
Did you get a female customer with a bob?
A bob?
We get so many customers.
I don't remember.
Thank you.
I don't think she's here.
What do we do?
Inspector Han.
She's not here.
Trace her phone again.
Her phone is off?
What was her last known location?
Okay.
What did he say? Was it around here?
Let's look around some more.
Forget it.
The signal died after Jamsil Bridge.
She has no intention of returning.
Can't we ask your friend to check again?
Give it up.
You've done enough.
No. You've done more than enough.
But she might still change her mind
if we talk to her in person.
She leaves her baby to play computer games.
Haven't you ever wanted to run away
due to fear and anxiety?
I've wanted to countless times.
But I've persevered only because
I have a family that loves me.
Turns out Ms. Eun is an orphan
and her adoption ended in failure.
Not everyone in her shoes would make her choice.
Inspector Cha.
Don't force someone who's
not equipped or ready to be a mom.
The child might end up more hurt
if she leaves when he's bigger.
Just let her live her life as she sees fit!
Very well, sir.
I'll see to Ms. Eun's matter from now on,
so don't worry about it.
You'll see to it how?
Who are you to her? Her guardian?
Can you be responsible for her life?
Who says I'm going to do that?
I just want to help her because I know
how painful and scary her situation is!
She's a felon that abandoned her baby.
She'll have to be arrested if found.
Stay out of it from now on.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Hey...
I understand why you're upset,
but reach out to her first.
Why start a fight you'll never win?
Grandmother will never apologize first.
You know that.
It'll be harder to
clear the air as time passes.
Why must I always apologize?
I've done my best and said what I had to.
You feel bad you took it out on
Taejin afterward.
If you keep this up, what about me?
I'm walking on eggshells as it is.
I don't know.
My head hurts.
Get out.
Huh?
Leave me alone!
Okay. I'll go. I'll go.
Geez.
Is Huijin still upset?
Yes. Looks like this will last awhile.
You're out here too as it's uncomfortable
around grandmother, right?
Living with in-laws and strangers...
It sure is sad to be an outsider.
They say wars result in collateral damage.
Look at me.
I'm the poster boy.
Um...
What happened to Huijin's mother?
I don't know all the details either.
I've never met my mother-in-law.
I thought she'd passed away.
That would've actually been better.
She apparently caused a major financial debacle
that almost cost father his job.
And to boot...
Anyway, long story short,
that led to their divorce.
Father's been single since Taejin was 11.
I feel so sorry for Father.
You're back.
Why are you outside?
Um... I was going to the store.
Go on in, father.
Baekho.
I needed a drinking buddy, and here you are.
- Let's go in. Let's go in. / - Okay.
You see, Taejin,
I feel sorry for Huijin.
It's understandable. She's her mother.
So don't be too hard on Huijin.
She shouldn't be reproached
for missing her mother, right?
I wish I had a mother I could resent.
Huijin cried a lot after having Haechan, saying
her mom must've felt like her when she had Huijin.
Anyway, it must be different for women.
Huijin seems to miss her mom more with age.
Yet our mother never came back
for the children she'd bore.
There's no reason to miss her.
Right, right.
Dad and Uncle Taejin,
I'm home.
I'm glad you're here.
Why?
You're your mother's miracle cure.
Let's hurry inside.
Taejin, take your time.
- We have to go. / - Okay.
Let's go, go, go.
Who says I'm going to do that?
I just want to help her because I know
how painful and scary her situation is.
My goodness.
So?
We went to look for her but she wasn't there.
She had a baby when she's still a baby herself.
Where in the world is the baby's father?
You don't say.
But he must be around the mother's age.
He can't be over 20, so
having a baby has to be
very overwhelming.
They do the deed without any forethought?
Those childish fools.
You know what? Adoption might actually be better.
Raising a baby is hard even for 2 parents,
so how will that young thing
raise her baby alone?
Good grief.
But how can a mother
bear to be separated from her child?
You managed to have and raise Uri alone.
I'm proud of you, my sister Moo Gunghwa.
My situation was different.
If I didn't have you two,
I don't know how I would've managed.
Just thinking about it overwhelms me.
There's no one I pity more than motherless kids.
That goes without saying.
That poor baby.
What a shame.
Anyway, I'm so grateful to you guys.
If you are, be nicer.
Don't kick me for
having some of your water.
Seeing the baby reminded me
of when Uri was little
and upset me greatly, but
Inspector Cha had no idea and...
Why? What did he say?
Nothing.
I want to see my daughter.
Uri. Uri.
Mom, I hear you're working.
It's nothing I haven't done before.
Don't try to stop me.
You'll get nowhere.
Mom,
hang in there just a bit more.
I'll do better.
Okay.
Don't worry about me.
Just make sure you don't skip your meals.
I made a new friend
who's feeding me silly.
Don't worry.
Their daughter is so sweet and pretty but
she harbors a sadness.
Who are you talking about, Mom?
The daughter at the house I work at.
Seems like the mother's a stepmom.
Oh...
- Dohyeon. / - Dad.
My goodness. Dad, dad.
What's the matter with him?
He drank too much.
Why couldn't you drink in moderation?
Hey, hey. You punk.
You really did a number on your old man.
Good heavens.
Jin Daegap's life amounts to nothing.
It started out with a kink
and is still a big sopping mess.
I thought I did the best I could,
so why am I left with nothing?
That's enough.
Bora will cry
if you keep this up.
Do you want to make her cry?
You poor dear.
I was nuts to stir up a hornet's nest.
Dad, up, up.
Dad. Get up.
Geez. Why'd you drink so much?
Jacket. Jacket.
Dad, here.
Easy, easy.
Good grief.
Our old man's lost his edge.
He used to drink whiskey by the bottle,
but a little rice wine has done him in.
Good grief.
Dad, lie straight.
You have bad shoulders.
Good night, dad.
(26 Missed Calls / Husband)
Mom.
I worried you, didn't I?
You could've texted at least.
I'm sorry.
I was just too upset to.
Let's go in.
I'll make you a fabulous lunch.
Okay.
Let's go.
Wow. Wonder who she is.
She exudes luxury.
Mom, have a cup of coffee.
I ate so much that I don't have room for it.
Then just enjoy the aroma.
You're the best, my sweet daughter.
Mom.
You traitor.
I'm sorry.
I had no choice.
You know how dad is.
Please forgive me, mom. Please?
You won't even acknowledge me?
I know. I have wronged you.
How have you wronged me?
A son's infraction is the father's.
I understand why you're so upset, but...
Seonghui...
Do you not trust me?
Good grief.
Of course, I trust you.
You won't list me on the family register because
you worry your wealth will be diverted.
Didn't we come to an agreement on that?
We did.
I declined your offer to list me.
It must be old age though.
I can't control my feelings.
Dohyeon's waywardness is pure immaturity,
but seeing you walk in with flowers and a smile,
it felt like you too were belittling me.
How could I belittle you?
You make me tremble with fear.
What is it?
Oh. It's nothing.
It's a 4-story shopping complex in Ilsan.
You want to use my name again?
No, of course not.
I'm bribing you with it.
Dohyeon will think I put on an act.
Please accept it without saying anything.
It's from my heart.
Do you know you make me look very bad?
I know, I know. It's all my fault.
But what can we do?
I know I'm being shameless,
but you must cut me some slack.
If you don't go easy on me,
who will?
Hon.
From now on,
keep this on and sing along.
Singing apparently helps prevent dementia.
This is great.
I used to go to a singing
class before the injury.
♪ Hey hey hey ♪
♪ What's wrong with my age ♪
Yes, hello?
Oh, Huijin.
Oh, okay. Sure.
It's okay.
All I have to do is make rice.
Yes. Don't worry.
What does Huijin want?
She can't come. It's very busy at the restaurant
She asked me to make the rice.
She can't come
or won't come?
Don't bother.
You're not here to cook.
The last caregiver took off because I asked her
to do some housework.
All I'm making is rice,
and it's just a one-time thing.
She must have asked since Sangcheol will be home.
It's fine.
She's sleeping.
I see.
You should eat.
Enjoy.
You should eat too.
I'll eat when Ms. Noh wakes up.
This...
I made hot pot stew with
whatever was in the fridge.
You like spicy stews.
Thank you.
Did you have a good time?
Yes.
You must have gone to a hot spring.
You look good.
Must have been the change of pace.
I feel much better.
I'm relieved.
Let's go in. You must be tired.
Darn it.
I'm all set.
So you're not mad at me anymore, right?
Why are you tiptoeing around me?
You're making me tiptoe around you.
So where did you go?
Why do you want to know?
My wife spent a few nights away.
Of course, I want to know.
Did you really go to a hot spring?
I was at a hotel getting spa treatments.
So Dohyeon was right.
N-no.
He said not to worry as you were probably
getting massages at a hotel.
Dohyeon knows me better than you.
I'm not resourceful enough to get very far.
Right. You can run but you can't hide.
And you have me in the palm of your hand.
Sounds like dad's very happy.
You're pleased?
Yes, I am.
I won't waste my breath.
What can I say to a pure-hearted
soul like you?
Is something other than mom bothering you?
What do you mean?
I get the feeling something's really angered you.
Oh, come on. What is it?
Tell me.
Who knows? I might be able to help you.
Hey, you know I hate being wronged, right?
Yes. Yet you do that to others all the time.
Watch it.
What happened? Tell me.
Never mind.
I don't know how, but you were wronged
and it's driving you mad, right?
Then confront the person.
And say what?
That it's driving you mad.
Be very honest.
It's a woman.
I can just tell.
What would you know, prude?
Prudes are better versed in theory.
Good for you.
And I'm not a prude.
I've had many admirers.
So what if you had a truckload of admirers?
You never went out with any of them.
Do you think that's sound brotherly advice?
I'm just worried you'll fall for some weirdo.
You have zero street smarts as it is.
Worry about yourself instead.
I'm going to be swept off my feet.
Swept off your feet?
Fine. Dream on.
Hope your dream doesn't shatter.
Crash.
Watch it.
Then why can't you be honest?
Let's go, go, go, go.
Sleep in.
I can take Uri on my way to work.
No, it's okay, mom.
I should take her when I'm on the night shift.
I'm going with mom today, grandma.
They say raising a child is thankless,
and that sure is the case.
But you have me, mom.
You'll come right back, right?
No. I have something to do.
I'll go straight to work afterward.
You should get some rest.
Working at night is physically taxing.
I'm fine.
We're off.
We're off.
- Let's go. / - Let's go.
Daughter, let's go.
- Watch out for cars. / - We will.
Why are you looking for her here?
It's been ages since she cut ties with us.
So that troublemaker
must have gotten knocked up as well.
Just thinking about her ticks me off.
And I answered all the detectives' questions,
so why are you here?
Don't come again about her.
I'm scared we'll have to see her again.
What are you thinking about?
What?
You were so distracted
you didn't even know I came in.
What brings you here?
I came to cheer you up.
Let's go out for drinks after work.
You feel wronged by me in many ways, right?
What are you talking about?
You're good at holding things in.
But I can't bear to hold anything in.
Drink away your frustration.
I wish I could, but
alcohol won't help with this.
This is Jin Dohyeon.
Yes. What is this regarding?
Can I see you?
What is it?
I told you to report
the incident at the nearest police station.
Why did you look at me like that?
Excuse me?
At the restaurant
when that chick slapped me.
The way you looked at me has been bothering me.
I can't stand being wronged.
Well, I was just...
Why?
Did you think it served the skirt chaser right?
Frankly, that is how I felt about it.
You should've looked into the facts
before condemning me.
In truth, I did meet that chick at a club.
I saw her a few times for fun,
but she was such a money-grubber
that I threw my wallet at her.
She came to the restaurant with a geezer.
I said something so she'd smarten up,
but you looked at me like I was scum.
What did I do so wrong?
Why did you have to be so critical of me?
Officer Moo, are you always this hypocritical?
That's out of line.
I'm out of line?
What about the humiliation you subjected me to?
What did you say to me a while back?
Haven't you ever done anything wrong?
Does one mistake make you a wrongdoer for life?
One shouldn't pass judgment
on others so easily.
Truth be told, I was moved.
And I was grateful you saved me.
But you're really letting me down.
You shouldn't have acted cool when
this is all you amount to.
I wonder if the baby's mother's even eating.
Where could she be?
That's easy. She's probably at
an internet cafe or a public sauna.
Geez. She has no money,
and she didn't go home.
There are places
where runaways live together.
I wonder if she picked up part-time work.
Not in the state she's in.
She just gave birth.
She's probably a wreck right now.
It must be physically and emotionally taxing
after giving birth at such a young age.
Excuse me.
Why waste good food?
Is something wrong with Inspector Cha?
He's been in a bad mood all day.
Did you cause him grief again?
He's the one causing me grief.
Man. This must really hit home for you
since you're a single mom too.
It does.
I saw pictures, and your daughter's adorable.
She's poised to be as pretty as you when
she grows up.
Right?
And she says the sweetest things too.
You should be proud of yourself, Officer Moo.
What for?
It's what all mothers do.
Problem is, a growing number of mothers don't.
I feel sorry for the kids
as well as the mothers.
Life can be so cruel.
Why can't he see this through?
This is Officer Moo Gunghwa.
I'm calling to see how the baby is.
Pardon?
He's being sent to an orphanage tomorrow?
Yes, okay.
You'll blow out the tires.
Your sighs will blow out the tires.
Inspector Cha, pull over.
Why?
Pull over right now.
Welcome.
Where can I sit?
Let's see.
Computer 13.
Thanks.
Ms. Yun Seohyeon.
Let go.
Let go of me!
Come with me to the hospital.
I'm not crazy.
Why would I go there?
Your baby's waiting for you.
I left the baby there.
I abandoned him.
You shouldn't make such reckless comments.
Other people abandon their kids.
Both my mom and stepmom abandoned me,
so why can't I abandon my baby?
I'm going to abandon him too.
I don't care what happens to him,
so you can abandon him too!
Put him up for overseas adoption,
send him to an orphanage,
or stick him in a box!
My friend started liking this guy, but
he proposed that they just be friends.
He must not be interested in her.
Mr. Jin Dohyeon,
this is Officer Moo Gunghwa.
I really hope to see you today.
I'm looking forward to a major comeback.
What happened?
Will she be jailed?
With the baby?
I'm a mom.
Pardon?
I have a child.
