(Episode 16)
Yes, nurse.
Pardon?
The baby's mother took off without the baby?
What's going on?
I'll call you back.
Did something happen to the mother?
She must be distraught.
Of course, she's overwhelmed, wondering how
she can raise him.
Geez. Having a baby is no joke.
Right after giving birth, my wife was
really awkward around the baby.
It was her first time
meeting the baby she'd carried.
Find out what she needs.
Yes, sir.
I'll stop by on my way home.
Did you notice anything unusual?
Was she unusually nervous?
I don't know. I didn't notice anything.
If the mother shows up or calls,
please contact me right away.
Okay.
Your mommy will be right back.
Don't worry.
She can't leave a baby that's so precious.
Here.
How was it?
Fine.
Did something happen to her?
It's nothing.
I wonder what it is?
What's there to wonder?
They were at a wedding.
That buffoon.
Why did he have to bring that ditz?
That woman was running her stupid mouth off...
Why don't you shower?
Darn it.
Who sat next to the groom's father?
The queen has passed away...
The first concubine?
Or was it the much beloved second?
It was the groom's aunt.
Wow. Kudos to them.
Geez.
Just so you know, Bora and I
will have our aunt in Yongin
sit next to you.
What can we do since Mom's no longer with us?
Aunt will have to take her place.
Dohyeon!
Bring a woman home first before you say that!
My buddy who married last month
fought over this with his stepmother too.
He said it was mayhem.
That's enough.
Please, Dohyeon.
Were you saying that for my benefit?
It doesn't hurt for you to know.
Let's be honest.
You're not our birth mom.
Don't listen to that punk.
Let's go.
Since we're on the topic, I'll make myself clear.
I don't want anyone taking my mom's place.
I'm telling you now to avoid endangering
the peace of this household down the line,
so don't be too upset.
I told you to stop!
You little punk,
we'll talk later.
Will you get me a glass of water?
Why don't you get it yourself?
You should know your place,
Ms. Heo.
Don't bother to confront what he says.
In one ear and out the other.
No need to dwell on his words.
Forget his ridiculous nonsense.
Let's have a drink, you and I.
We'll share a nice, expensive wine.
Don't you know I have feelings and self-respect?
Go to bed.
I'm exhausted.
There's no reason to rub salt in her wounds.
It's to speed up the healing.
I disinfected them for her.
Don't you feel sorry for Dad?
What for?
He's living it up and pampering
the woman he loves.
Yes, I know
it's a touchy issue for you,
but you still should've held back.
You probably don't remember,
but when Ms. Heo first came here,
Dad said he found someone
who was warm and kind.
He said she would be a good mother to us.
I clearly expressed my disapproval
with my entire being.
But he just pushed ahead.
And you know the rest.
I was put in juvenile detention in 10th grade.
That's when Dad asked me for the first time
why I didn't tell him I disapproved of Ms. Heo.
That's when I realized
the importance of communication.
Dohyeon.
Don't feel sorry for Ms. Heo.
She's 100, 1,000 times better
than you at getting what she wants.
I'm back.
You must be tired.
Did you have dinner?
I ate.
Where's Uri?
She's sleeping.
All went well today?
Good grief. There was a huge disaster.
What do you mean?
We found a woman in labor on the street
and took her to the hospital.
She delivered a beautiful baby.
So it was a happy ending.
So we thought.
She left the baby at the hospital and took off.
What? She fled without her baby?
What about the baby's dad?
They have no family?
I think she's a single mom.
My goodness. What a headache for the station.
As you can imagine.
I'm going to wait out the night.
Won't it be child abandonment
if she doesn't return?
That's why I have to find her quickly.
I can't turn a baby's mother into a felon.
And what about the baby?
Good heavens.
How could she bear to leave her child?
How will she live with that guilt?
My goodness.
Have it while it's warm.
But it's almost bedtime.
Ms. Oh, come on out.
No, I'm fine here.
Go on out and eat with them.
Come.
You must join us.
This is your welcome back party after all.
Right, grandmother?
Come on.
Don't mind me and go.
Come. Come.
Okay. Sit here.
You like fried chicken.
It's Baekho's treat tonight,
so enjoy.
Yes, that's right.
I took special care with the frying and seasoning,
so enjoy.
Here you go.
Thank you.
For dad...
Don't give him the wings.
Grandma, dad should have the wings
since they say they lead to affairs.
No. For dad, it'd be a romance, not an affair.
That's right.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Then we'll give dad the chicken breasts.
Grandma, the chicken breasts are okay, right?
Give him the wings, so that
he can fall in love and marry like you said.
I'm all for that.
Mom, I'll have the drumstick.
Okay. A drumstick for my son.
What's wrong, Ms. Oh?
Just going to wash my hands.
Oh, okay.
Now, should I have a piece too?
What's this?
Food can cause a lot of conflict.
Is this discrimination?
Drumsticks have always been for Taejin and Dad.
Wow. They do say you end up doing
what you criticize and hate...
Your discrimination hurt me greatly,
and yet I'm repeating your ways, grandma.
When did I ever treat you differently?
I always gave a drumstick to you and Taejin.
Oh, is that really so, grandma?
You have it, Baekho.
No, no, no. I was just joking around.
I have to smell chicken all day long.
This is all Huijin and I need. This.
Ah.
- Oops. / - What's the matter with you?
- It's still good. / - Gross.
Good grief.
- I'll give you one more. / - I'll do it.
Here. Ah.
Grandma won't like it if she sees you doing that.
Should I stop then?
This is nice. Carry on.
What's gotten into you today?
You're being so nice.
I don't know what to do with myself.
Huijin,
was it tough giving birth to Haechan?
Tough?
I thought I was going to die.
But why do you ask?
We helped a pregnant woman today.
I'd never seen a woman in labor before.
That's how all mothers give birth.
Men have no idea what it's like
to grow a life in your womb for 10 months
and then risk your life to bring it into this world.
I couldn't help but think of mom when I gave birth.
Really?
Seeing how you are with Haechan
makes that woman a bigger mystery to me.
My goodness.
I-I should go shower.
No, I'm not going.
Why not?
Uri, you must tell me why
if you want me to let you stay home.
I have a headache.
Really?
You don't have a fever and seem fine.
My tummy hurts.
But you had no problem
eating or pooping this morning.
I think I'll get sick once I get to kindergarten.
Next week, we'll invite fathers
to join our junior chef class.
Please let us know if you'll be attending.
This is why you think you're sick, right?
Maybe.
I'll go in dad's place.
But you're not dad.
All the other kids will be with their dads.
Dads are guys, not girls.
Uri, I'll come.
You?
Yes. Suhyeok can go.
You know I'm a good cook, right?
With a handsome uncle who can cook,
you're bound to come in first place.
Really?
Of course.
I promise.
- Promise. Seal. / - Seal.
Photocopy.
Laminate.
Should I take you to kindergarten today?
Yes.
Let's go.
Okay.
Focus your patrol on areas with live-alone seniors,
low-income households, and other vulnerable groups.
You two check on the mother you saved
yesterday.
Yes, sir.
Newborn babies are abandoned left and right,
so wrap this up well.
Officer Moo, why the long face?
You're crazy about babies.
Why? You don't want to do it?
Y-yes. Of course, I do.
I am crazy about babies.
I'll take care of it.
Take care of what?
What's there for you to take care of?
Anyway...
Korea must offer proper education on birth control.
The consequences are overwhelming,
so the father runs away
and the mother just has the baby.
People avoid the subject out of embarrassment,
but sex education must evolve with the times.
A woman in China was caught
on security camera in a parking lot.
She was running away 30 seconds after giving birth.
She'll be charged with the abandonment.
Of course.
That'll take her straight to prison.
Put the baby up for adoption at least.
But there needs to be a birth certificate
filed by the baby's parents for that,
so more and more babies are being abandoned.
It's a serious problem
that requires countermeasures.
The best thing would be to find
the baby's father and reunite the family.
(Seohyeon)
The phone is off.
Connecting to voicemail after the tone.
Good heavens.
You startled me, sir.
Why are you so jumpy?
Were you doing something bad?
W-what do you mean...
Of course not.
We should go on patrol.
Bora!
Jin Bora!
Jin Bora, let's play.
Didn't we agree to be friends?
R-r-right. We're friends.
But what's with your response?
Can't you play along?
Oh...
Bring this in.
Listen, bud.
I'm your friend, not your servant.
Bring it in, bud.
Zap.
We shoot the video down.
Did you say this was Bora's idea?
Isn't it sophisticated?
It is. It's good.
You'd better step up.
Nothing's set in stone until
the contract is signed.
Okay.
But Suhyeok, I'm hungry.
Order something.
I want black bean noodles.
Black bean noodles or spicy noodles,
that is the question.
I have a feeling Bora might call right about now.
It's her. It's her.
Yes.
I was going to buy lunch today, bud.
There are tons to eat here,
so why waste money, bud?
Otherwise, all this goes to the waste bin.
What's going on?
Why are you calling each other "bud"?
We decided to be friends.
Friends?
Friends are good. Yes.
Be friends with me too.
You can't befriend your boss's friend.
Oh. Can you teach me how to make a simple dish?
Huh?
I promised my niece I'd go to
a cooking class at her kindergarten.
Sure.
Just pay me for my time.
Oh, come on. What are friends for?
Work is work
even between friends.
Don't forget the signing bonus you got.
Seriously?
Signing bonus? What signing bonus?
Eat, eat.
Seohyeon, where are you?
(Seohyeon)
The phone is off.
Connecting to voicemail after the tone.
Let's go see the baby's mother.
A-a-at the hospital?
Um...
I can go the hospital alone later,
so let's patrol other areas first.
We're near the hospital.
Oh? It's lunchtime.
Inspector Cha, let's eat.
Okay. What should we have?
There's a place that makes great bean sprout rice.
Go ahead and eat.
I've had a queasy stomach since breakfast,
so I should walk a bit.
Suit yourself.
Enjoy your lunch.
Can I check the security camera outside?
I want to see which direction she took.
Yes, sure.
Who?
Oh... I-Inspector Cha.
Who are you looking for?
Come with me.
Do you think this is acceptable?
I know what you're worried about.
What do you know?
I know we must open a file as soon as
we hear about an abandonment.
I'm going to do that right now,
and that's final.
But then the baby's mom will be charged.
Of course. She committed a crime.
She probably fled briefly out of fear.
She will be back.
Inspector Cha. Inspector Cha.
A woman that abandons her own child
never comes back.
Oh, wow. Who do we have here?
My lifesaver.
Oh, hello.
You must be here for treatment.
To get a test result.
What brings you here?
I had business at obstetrics.
Obstetrics?
Oh, no.
We're watching over a single mom.
Do the police do things like that too?
Wow. So you really are here to serve the public.
People like you really deserve a big raise
and a handsome bonus.
- Right? / - Yes.
Well, then...
You must be too busy to box these days.
One must work out no matter how busy.
It's important to stay fit.
I see.
Right, I should go...
Why did you ignore my calls?
Pardon?
I called seeking your advice on how to
proceed with my case.
Oh, you did?
I don't answer when I see an unknown number.
I see.
Look. Excuse me.
B-but...
This is my number.
Oh, okay.
Jin Dohyeon.
- Here you go. / - Okay.
Go to the nearest police station
if you want to report the incident.
Okay.
I really have to go.
B-but, wait...
What business did you have with Jin Dohyeon?
Oh. I found him unconscious on the street
from a random attack,
so I got him to a hospital.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told Senior Inspector Lee.
What about our chain of command?
Mr. Jin didn't want to report the incident
nor was it in our jurisdiction
and Senior Inspector Lee said to just leave it.
You're always like this.
You do everything haphazardly.
Why did that twerp have to be with her?
Hey.
Let's see.
What's this?
They inflated the construction cost.
They went over a bit
to meet our demands.
They pleaded for your understanding.
Geez. They rob me blind
and then whine and moan.
Hey, do you want to go box?
Who do you want to beat up this time?
There's someone who keeps getting on my nerves.
He's a nobody but he's so insolent.
He doesn't know his place and keeps provoking me.
That's not it, is it? Aren't you going
there to see that woman?
I usually put on a good poker face.
I just don't get you.
She doesn't seem to be your type at all.
Right, but there's been
a series of uncanny coincidences.
If I'd been more superstitious,
I'd say it's fate.
So do you plan to go out with her?
I'll first see if it's more than just a coincidence.
Geez. This is bad.
I can't leave without saying goodbye.
Uri must be waiting. What do I do?
Hi.
What happened, Mom?
You didn't pick up Uri again?
Let's talk about that later.
I just talked to her teacher,
so don't worry and get back to work.
I was just about to head out.
Okay, I got it.
Just hear me out!
Aren't they too old to be arguing
at the top of their lungs?
Just hear me out!
Stop yelling.
I'm not deaf.
It's just that I'm frustrated.
I know where you're coming from,
but I'm good to you.
How are you good to me?
These flowers?
I'm not talking about flowers, am I?
Geez. You're hurting my feelings.
We've been together for almost 20 years.
Yet you still doubt my love for you?
Is it that hard for you to trust me?
I know.
We've been together for a whopping 2 decades,
yet we're still in the same place.
Hon.
Geez. You should know how to forgive
if someone pleads with you.
I understand why you're upset. I do.
You do?
Of course, I do.
But Dohyeon's always been like that.
Do you think I'm upset because of Dohyeon?
Don't use him as an excuse like a coward.
At least Dohyeon's honest.
You're way crueler than Dohyeon.
You make me fodder for gossip
and then bring me these flowers?
Do you think my heart is made of ice?
I'm a human being too, a human being.
Hon...
You don't even show me your wallet
yet claim to love me.
Have you ever thought about
how it makes me feel when
I see you enjoying
the company of your children?
Why were you so mean to my mom?
Why? Is there something you want to say?
N-no.
You've grown very quiet since you returned.
Have I?
I almost fired you when you first came
because you were so chatty.
I'm trying to be careful
so I don't slip up again.
Be your old self.
I'm bored because you're too quiet.
Okay.
Is everything okay?
It's uncomfortable because of me, right?
Of course not.
The whole family's very thankful.
Don't go out of your way for me.
That's silly.
You're like family to me, Chullae.
Don't call me that.
I dropped that name ages ago.
It's been years.
The past is the past.
We're old now.
That's true.
I don't want your family to find out while I'm here.
Just let me stay and leave quietly.
I beg you.
Okay.
We're back.
- Welcome back. / - Welcome back.
Did something happen?
Welcome back.
The mother and the baby are doing well, right?
Looks like something's wrong.
What happened?
The mother disappeared.
- Did she flee, leaving the baby behind? / - Yes, sir.
I had a bad feeling when we were talking about
child abandonment this morning.
What do we do?
What can we do?
Moo Gunghwa, open a case file right away.
Yes, sir.
Geez. How cruel can people be?
What is the world coming to?
Darn it.
Sir.
Weren't you ordered to open a case file?
What's with the long face?
Do you have a problem with me?
You could've waited at least a day.
We might've found her
or she might've changed her mind and returned.
Didn't you hear the nurse earlier?
She hadn't come to see her baby once!
Remember what I said?
You're not cut out to be a cop.
Yes.
You said I'd never make a good cop.
But what does that have to do with this?
Excuse me?
It was wrong of me not to report to you first,
but it's not our job to turn
a mother into a felon.
What if she doesn't return?
She will return. She will.
If she doesn't, do you know
you'll be criminally charged for
dereliction of duty?
You said you'd never leave the force.
Do you want to be fired?
Why I did I give Ms. Heo a slap in the face
when I know she wants an excuse to gripe?
Are you happy now?
Enough already.
You're just like your mother.
Why did mom leave us?
It was all because of you.
Don't mention that woman.
Please stop!
I have a favor to ask.
Locate someone for me.
Who are you talking to so secretively?
Don't be cheeky with me.
He's got the weirdest personality.
How may I help you?
I have business with Officer Moo.
I thought you were a skirt chaser
when I saw you at the club.
I find that unfair.
