(Episode 58)
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm really fine.
I'll have to find a way,
the best way under the circumstances.
Right.
Don't worry too much.
Our family has faced countless challenges.
We've overcome them all,
so we'll tough this one out too.
Everything will work out.
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve.
I can deal with your piercing gaze,
but I can't tolerate your blatant pity.
Don't get fresh.
I'm hungry.
My belly's being tactless after the workout.
Let's go eat something good.
You paid last time,
so it's my treat this time.
Don't worry about it.
I hate women who always let the guy pay.
Now that I think about it, I basically made
a false promise to the station staff.
You can take us out after the matter is resolved.
Yes. After the matter is resolved.
I can't do that.
Why can't you?
How can I have us move to a monthly rental?
If that upsets you, what about me?
Am I to sit back and let my son ruin his life?
Please, mom.
What are you so sorry about anyway?
Then I should be on my knees seeking penance,
whining about how some parents buy their kids
fancy sports cars
while I can't even pay for your settlement.
No matter what you say, my mind is made up.
What you're doing isn't helping me.
It's driving me up the wall.
Do you want me to die from frustration?
Mom, please!
Suhyeok.
There's always a way.
If I thought otherwise,
I should've died after your father passed.
And your sister's doing well
after her husband died.
I thought I'd raised my son well,
but you're letting me down.
Mom, did he say something stupid again?
Anyway, that's out of the question.
Suhyeok.
He doesn't care what it takes when he has to help.
Yet he expects us to twiddle our thumbs
when he's hard up.
He's being absolutely ridiculous.
Why's he trying to shoulder all the burden?
Calm down, will you?
This place is your brother's sweat and tears
as he worked multiple jobs
and saved up since high school for this.
Okay, okay. You should lie down.
You'll collapse at this rate.
Don't have me call an ambulance amid everything.
You and I are on the same wavelength.
I was going to say the same thing.
Don't worry, mom.
Do what you want.
I'll see tomorrow how much of a loan I can get
and do whatever I can.
We just have to tighten our belts short term.
Yes. The three of us can work hard
to save up for another lease
and raise Uri well.
Baekho.
You're home.
What are you doing here? It's hot.
I was just thinking about this and that.
Are you worried about something?
Not more than you are.
It's hard, isn't it?
Sure. You can date Officer Moo.
One doesn't fall for someone for their background.
But Taejin, if you're considering marriage,
I'm frankly against it too.
Baekho.
Couldn't you reconsider?
Your sister hasn't slept well since.
She's dreamed of you marrying a nice woman
and having a happy family, so a single mom
must come as a terrible shock to her.
Forget your sister. What about Grandmother?
Do you think she'll give you her blessing?
I bet she'll collapse right away.
You said you were getting ice cream.
Pardon?
Why? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Do you have something to say?
Why are you faltering like that?
Um...
Yes?
What kind of ice cream would you like?
Why are you so silly?
Get whatever you like.
I like ice cream with red beans.
I like red beans too.
Wow. We like the same foods too.
Does that make you happy?
Of course, it does.
There isn't much to life.
So long as people who love each other get along.
That's right.
Why don't you lie down to sleep?
Get out if you're here to nag.
I'm busy.
I'll deliver mom's ultimatum.
We'll use the lease money for your settlement
and get a monthly rental instead.
Moo Gunghwa, get out if you're here to yammer.
Suhyeok, I have so much to thank you for.
You worked to pay for Uri's diapers and formula.
And when Uri wouldn't sleep at night,
you took her out on your back on late-night walks.
I was so thankful that I was moved to tears.
Let me repay even a tiny fraction of that.
I swear I can give my life for Uri.
Do you think I'm lying?
That's what's called maternal love,
which men will never understand.
Why are you doing this to me as well?
Because it's so frustrating.
Should your peace of mind come at our expense?
I'm warning you.
Stop causing mom grief
by pretending to help her.
This really is maddening.
If you spew nonsense again tomorrow morning,
I might have to murder you.
Why are you here again?
To kill my enemy with kindness.
Your enemy?
Do you remember my high school friend Eunji?
Sure. I remember her.
She turned all your classmates against you,
claiming dad ruined her family.
This is what she said to me.
"Your father's trash,"
"so you're trash too."
Hey, you should've told me.
How dare she say such a thing to you?
Maybe I was traumatized by that.
Suhyeok said he hated private lenders,
so I couldn't tell him about our family.
If I'd been honest about myself,
he might not have left me like that.
Or maybe I'm wrong.
He might've bolted off, appalled by it all.
Are you okay?
It still stings,
but it's more bearable than I'd expected.
But then again, we never really dated.
You went overboard.
I was merely making hopeful assumptions.
How's the soup, dad?
Did you make it?
I can't make it taste that good.
It's all mom.
You should've made bean sprout soup.
Fish soup for breakfast is making me sick.
What are you doing?
You said you feel sick.
It's not fish that's making you sick.
It's me.
Mom went to the fish market this morning.
She hurts me then tries humoring me.
She should just give me a peace of mind.
Why did you snap like that?
I didn't say anything.
Everything I do gets on your nerves, doesn't it,
since I started seeing my kids?
Did I say that?
Do you think I'm a pushover because I humor you
without complaining?
What did I say anyway?
For whatever it's worth, I abandoned my kids
and raised yours for nearly 20 years.
If you appreciate that in the least,
shouldn't you make an effort
instead of getting angry like this?
What more do you want me to do?
This isn't to get you to do anything.
I want nothing more than to see my kids.
All I want is a peace of mind,
but am I asking for too much?
I'll be disappointed if you keep this up.
Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
I'm off.
You're joining a new tutoring group in 2 weeks.
I don't want to study with kids I don't know.
In return, you'll have 2 weeks off.
Really?
No cram school or tutoring group starting today?
You won't even do school assignments?
Of course, I'll do my schoolwork.
But study hard with the new group.
Those kids have stellar GPAs,
and the tutor's very sought after.
Okay.
So I can do whatever I want to for 2 weeks?
What do you want to do anyway?
You don't need to know.
- We're off. / - We're off.
Have a good day.
I'm off.
Okay.
Drive safely.
Maybe it's the hot weather,
but why does he look so tired?
What with the patrolling and such,
it can be tiring.
It's unbearably hot these days.
I hope Taejin marries soon.
Why can't a kid so handsome date?
He takes after me and is shy.
My goodness. You did just fine for yourself.
Geez, mom.
Young folks today aren't interested in marrying.
And who would want their daughter
marrying into a family like ours?
Who said we'd keep him here?
Will you get him his own place?
All my wretched friends tell me
while Taejin would make the perfect husband,
our family would get failing marks.
We can't be a drag on my perfect grandson.
Good thinking.
How great will his wife be that
she's making us wait this long?
My thoughts exactly.
Officer Moo.
How did the traffic accident case go?
It didn't go well.
The victim's unyielding.
Reaching a settlement may be the only way.
Yes.
How will you come up with all that money?
I'll get a civil servant loan.
A loan?
Turns out I'm eligible for up to $40,000.
But then all your pay will go into
the loan repayment.
But saving my brother comes first.
But that's not enough.
My mom and my brother are working on it too.
Now that's enough.
Everyone in my family is a tough warrior,
so you need not worry anymore.
No more about my family from now on.
You were gutsy enough to protest solo
in front of the precinct,
so I'm not worried.
That's right.
Would you like water too?
I'll look into it too.
Into what?
I should be able to get a $60,000 to $70,000 loan.
You just made a mistake.
Did you think I'd be thankful for that?
Would you be thankful if you were me?
Moo Gunghwa.
Why would I take money from you?
That's ridiculous.
Are you out to make me into a lowlife?
You know it's not like that.
No matter how tough,
my family managed without anyone's help.
We handled everything on our own.
I know where you're coming from,
but I really don't like it.
I'm sorry. My bad.
Then I'll pretend you never offered.
I won't forgive you if you slip up again.
You look tired.
Are you here for your mail?
Yes.
Why did you ask to see me?
Someone from the multi-cooker company was here.
I gave her Suhyeok's number as she asked,
but she called me saying he didn't pick up.
Do you mean President Gu?
Why would he call you?
He could've just called us.
Oh. It wasn't President Gu.
His sister's running the company now.
Whatever. He'd weaseled his way out of paying us.
I don't think it's anything bad.
Give her a call.
Okay.
He must've been too dazed by the accident to call.
I'll take care of it.
Accident? What accident?
Suhyeok caused a car accident.
No one's been able to go on vacation this summer.
You don't say.
Shouldn't you buy your beloved subordinates
chicken ginseng stew at least?
How about fried chicken and beer at Daebak Nara?
I doubt Officer's Moo would be in the mood for it.
She acts tough but has lost a lot of weight.
Oh. Then to feed Officer Moo,
let's make it discreet and get delivery.
- You think? / - Yes.
To feed her a drumstick at least?
I'll get it on my way back from patrol.
Okay. Do that then.
Officer Moo's lucky so many people care.
We're going on patrol.
Let's wait for Inspector Cha to return.
It's not our shift yet.
We have to get fried chicken.
We should get our patrol done early.
You're a pro, Officer Jang.
We're off.
Wait up, Officer Jang.
- Take it easy. / - See you.
See you.
I asked you over as I need you to do something.
I'd like you to gather all the tax papers.
I have all the real estate papers organized,
so you need not worry.
No, not mine.
Oh. Do you mean Chairman Jin's papers?
You said he's putting my assets
under Dohyeon's name.
Yes.
I'm sure there are many problems in the process.
You know how Chairman Jin is.
He's meticulous on that front.
Avoiding the inheritance tax poses many problems,
but he doesn't discuss such matters with me.
I don't know anything but the legal aspect of it.
Of course.
Have your tea.
Thank you.
You must be tired.
You could have had us deliver it.
That's okay.
Our boss is buying to cheer up Officer Moo.
Why? Did something happen?
Her brother hit a fancy imported car.
Oh, no. The repair must cost a fortune.
It's an arm and a leg.
$140,000.
$140,000? Is that really true?
Yes.
Officer Jang, I need to use the restroom.
Eunju, I'm sorry.
I unintentionally put you on spot.
But you didn't know.
Didn't you say you had feelings for Taejin?
He may appear cold, but he has a soft spot
for those who are hard up.
He's with Officer Moo a lot as her partner,
so he must have come
to feel sorry for her and pity her.
I thought that may be the case,
but I give him up based on what he did today.
What did he do?
It sounded like he might get a loan.
A loan? What for?
He has no need for money.
Is he getting a loan for Officer Moo?
You're back again.
Have you decided to clock in here instead of work?
I'm dropping by briefly
as I was in the area for work.
Do I have to report my comings and goings to you?
I feel ashamed to face you, dad.
Sure you do.
The doctor said you could go,
so why are you still here?
I thought I'd rest a few days since I'm here.
Don't you dare collapse from binge drinking again.
This is your first strike, okay?
Dad.
You have 2 strikes left. Take it to heart.
Fine.
Dad, does Saewoong Construction
still borrow money from us?
Why do you ask?
Just curious about the construction industry.
Are they doing well?
Don't get me started.
They begged me for a bigger loan last month.
They can't pay their interest on time.
They're trying to run a business with my money.
I'm thinking of getting the money back
and selling the building.
You are?
Why the sudden interest?
You hate being bothered.
I'm thinking of taking an interest in what you do.
Did the alcohol poisoning make a man of you?
Geez, you squirt.
A word, twerp.
Who are you to call me a twerp?
Seoul Corps.
You know Chairman Jin Daegap, right?
What is this about?
Hey! You have a better car than I do.
Your father likes to expand his business
with our money. And do you like being
a jerk in your fancy imported car?
When...
When did I do that?
When?
When? When? When?
You were something else in the hospital lobby.
I should've filmed you
and tipped off a news channel, but alas.
How dare you?
Why are you being like this?
What do you want from me?
What will you do if you cancel the lease?
I'll ask the landlord if we can pay monthly.
And if she says no, we'll have to move.
Many landlords prefer monthly rent these days.
I hope we get the lease money quickly.
You did the right thing.
Your child's more important than money.
Of course. I won't ruin my son's life
to keep this stupid lease.
Suhyeok's a precious son.
When you think about it, you raised your kids well.
I'm still toiling away
to support my children.
I must find a new job soon
if I'm to lessen the burden on my kids.
Come work at my store.
You don't pay enough.
You offer nothing.
I'll give you the raised hourly rate of $7.53.
A 30-cent raise?
Never mind. Geez.
Where is all the money at?
Hey, when did we live for money?
We've always lived for our kids.
All's well so long as our kids are healthy.
That's right.
Geez. It's too bland on its own.
We should have it with chili paste.
Sit. I'll go and get it.
Seonok.
They say goodness is rewarded.
Hang in there.
Is your pride hurt because I chewed you out?
Yes. My pride is hurt.
You should've thought it through.
People get aggressive
when they're driven into a corner.
Looks like you're feeling better.
You were quiet throughout our patrol.
I started feeling better a long time ago
but missed the timing to clear the air.
I'm very sorry. I went overboard.
You should've just held my hand tight.
You looked very cross.
I didn't want to get body slammed.
I'm glad I have you by my side though.
You said it helps
just to have someone by your side
when things get tough, right?
It seems to be true.
This has been very upsetting and tough,
but having you by my side is really helping.
And you don't have to worry about us anymore.
We decided to use our lease money.
Okay. I won't pry anymore.
It's nice you're upbeat though.
Anyway, thank you for the kind offer.
Let's go so we can clock out.
Hello?
This is Taejin's sister.
Yes. Go ahead.
Move.
Think again before you go.
I told you to move!
Huijin, this could actually backfire.
You didn't hear?
Taejin is getting a loan for that Officer Moo.
That's to say he's very serious about her.
- What? / - And if he is,
he'll do anything for her.
More importantly, it's rash of you
to act on what you heard from someone else.
If Taejin finds out, will he sit back?
Who cares?
What if grandma finds out?
And do you think dad will approve?
It's not just me.
The whole family will be against it.
Taejin knows that, so he can't tell anyone.
Yes, I know,
but why are you seeing Officer Moo?
Why else?
I must make her end this
before things get more serious.
Hey, Cha Huijin. Cha Huijin.
Geez.
Father's remarriage, Mother's appearance,
and now Taejin too...
It's a real whirlwind of problems.
Man...
How are you?
How do you think I am?
You know why I'm here, right?
You're the best, Tall Santa.
We need to find him someone.
It's making me nervous.
There might be someone he loves.
Seems like Juyeong is moving offices.
I can't give you a home,
and I've made you a freeloader.
I don't want to hear it.
Go!
Bring whoever you love.
I have your back no matter what.
I abhor women who forget
they're mothers.
I'd like you to reconsider.
Sir,
can't we date more casually?
What do you mean?
