(Episode 9)
Oh, my camera...
Taxi!
This is nuts.
I need to borrow your scooter.
What are you doing?
I'll let you keep that instead.
Hey!
Stop right there!
Stop, you jerk!
If I catch you, you're so dead!
What's the matter?
Some jerk asked me to hold onto this and took my scooter.
What's in it?
I'm not sure.
Open it.
Who knows? There could be some weird stuff in it.
What is all this?
Gosh!
Open the other pockets too. Go on.
That's it?
There is no wallet?
No.
He must be homeless.
"Homeless?"
It's that, or he has stolen many times.
You need to call it in at once.
Sorry? Right, I should.
Is this the police?
Someone stole my scooter.
Gosh, I'm sure the taxi went this way.
What? That's crazy.
Is he someone who steals habitually?
Probably. She said there was nothing in his backpack other than his clothes.
That jerk.
Have you heard from the police yet?
No, not yet.
Anyway, enjoy.
Thank you.
What a jerk.
- I know. - And he just took off?
I guess so.
My gosh, this is so pretty.
What are you doing?
Oh, nothing.
These clothes are so cool.
Did you design them yourself?
Please leave.
Okay.
Where did she go?
There she is. Ma'am!
Ma'am!
Darn it.
You, on the scooter. Pull over.
Pull over now.
What is this about?
You're under arrest for stealing this scooter.
What? "Stealing?"
We received a report. You'll have to come with us.
There must've been some misunderstanding.
I didn't steal this. I borrowed it from the owner.
Let's talk at the police station.
Wait.
What? No. Taxi!
- Get him. - Taxi!
Wait, hang on!
My camera... I need to get my camera.
What? You caught him?
Okay. I'm coming now.
Thank you.
They caught him?
Yes, I got him. I have to go to the police station.
All right, hurry.
My goodness.
(Hana Dumplings)
All right, we're here.
- Oh, is this it here? - Yes.
Go inside and look around. I'll go get the owner.
Sure.
- Mr. Jang. - Hello.
I brought a prospective tenant.
I see. Just a moment.
All right. Let's go.
Where did you get that cardigan?
I love it.
Really? Dong Hee made this for me.
She can make clothes?
She's a girl of many talents.
Then I should ask her to make me one too.
Sure, ask her.
- Let's go. - Okay.
So what do you think?
Exactly what you're looking for, right?
Almost.
But the chairs look a bit old.
No, they're not.
From what I know, they changed all the chairs last year.
- Is that right? - Yes.
By the way, why are they closing?
Is it because they had no customers?
No, not at all. She got pregnant after ten years.
They really wanted a baby.
I see.
If you don't get this space, you'll regret it.
On top of the stellar location,
Mr. Jang here is an amazing person.
Gosh, stop it.
Then can I get a discount on the rent?
Sorry?
Goodness. We can't do that.
It's already at least 100 dollars cheaper than other places.
Could you please help me out, sir?
The thing is, I have to think about other buildings in the area too.
That's right. There's a thing called a market average.
Then could you lower it by just 50 dollars?
I'm a struggling single mother.
My gosh, really?
I won't tell anyone about the discount.
Then all's good, right?
My goodness.
Please, sir.
Okay, let's do that.
Thank you, sir!
Oh, boy. You're too tenderhearted, Mr. Jang.
Let's go sign the lease.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go!
How many times do I have to tell you?
I left my backpack with her and just borrowed her scooter.
Talk to her when she's here.
- I'm saying... - I'm here.
Did you report the scooter stolen?
Yes.
She's the one?
How could you do this?
I let you keep my backpack. How could you call the police?
I couldn't find my camera because of you.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I want him punished according to the law.
He's done this many times.
Hey, what did you say?
That's right. You've stolen many times.
Hey, why would a thief let you keep his backpack?
Think about it!
What's in the backpack?
Show us.
There's nothing but some clothes and junk.
Did you go through my backpack?
Of course, I did.
I heard there was a passport too, no?
A passport?
I wouldn't have called the police if I had found a passport.
You see, I don't suspect people for no reason.
- What if there is one? - What?
What will you do if there is a passport in the backpack?
I combed through everything but didn't see a passport.
Right, but what will you do if there is one?
Well, then I'll just say that I let you borrow my scooter.
I'll help you clear your name. Are we good now?
This is what she says after accusing me of habitual theft?
You think that's enough?
Then what do you want me to do?
- Help me find my camera. - What?
I lost it right in front of my eyes because you called this in,
so you have to help me find it!
Why? You don't want to?
I guess you don't feel confident.
It's not that. Fine, let's do that.
But if we don't find your passport in this backpack,
you'll have to apologize to me on your knees. Do you understand?
You promised.
Go ahead and open it.
I can't believe you went through my backpack.
Hurry up and find it.
You went through everything but didn't check this jacket?
(Passport)
(Republic of Korea)
See?
This is my passport.
But... What? I didn't know it was there.
So? Would you like to press charges for theft?
No, I'll just say I let him borrow it.
I can go now, right?
After you pay the fine for not wearing a helmet.
It's 20 dollars.
We're good now, right?
You, follow me.
Take care.
So about your camera, did you report it lost?
Of course, I did.
Then just wait.
What if they don't get back to me?
I'm sure they will.
If you're so trusting, why did you report me to the police right away?
Be quiet and just come with me.
Where are we going?
Thank you.
Hello.
What are we doing here? Do you need to buy something?
Excuse me. Could I check the footage from that camera?
I left my camera inside a taxi...
but had no way of reaching the driver.
The driver was here about an hour ago.
I need my boss' permission for something like this.
Where is your boss?
My boss left a moment ago. Come back tomorrow.
Wait.
It's urgent. Could you please try calling your boss?
This camera is so important to me.
I'm sorry. Come back tomorrow.
Do something.
What can I do?
She said to come back tomorrow.
I have to go to work now, so let's just come back tomorrow.
Wait.
Are you running away?
You see, I'm not the type to break my promises.
Let's meet here at 3 p.m. tomorrow, okay?
You'd better keep your promise.
Hold on. Who told you that you could talk so casually to me?
We're probably around the same age, so be polite.
What?
Am I having deja vu?
This situation feels familiar for some reason.
Whatever.
I'll bring the products tomorrow. Thank you.
Sure, bye for now.
- Okay, see you. - Bye.
(Mipyung Foods)
Oh, my.
Nice, braised short ribs. Today must be my payday.
Yes. You worked so hard, honey.
Well done.
Thanks.
You brat. Are you not even going to thank me?
You're not the only one who works hard, Dad.
I also work very hard to make all the deliveries.
Then help us cover our living expenses starting this month.
Come on. I make peanuts.
You know I have nothing left after paying child support.
That's your problem.
I was going to bring this up anyway, so this is good.
Pay us 500 dollars every month from now on.
No way.
I'd rather move out.
Then move out.
Thank you, Dad. Keep it up!
Happy now?
Goodness. I had to beg for it, didn't I?
Who can we blame though?
It's our own fault that we raised him like this.
I'm serious though.
Help out with living expenses,
or move out. Make your choice, okay?
What about Auntie Jung Eun? Will you make her pitch in too?
Hey!
You brat. Why are you dragging your aunt into this?
She helps out with the house chores whenever she can.
Speaking of which,
how much longer will you keep trying?
It's about time you quit, don't you think?
I will give up if I don't make it this time.
I'll find out soon, so give me some time.
I'm sure she'll make it this time.
She's been working so hard for years, you know.
What kind of story is it this time?
It's a mysterious romantic comedy.
It's quite thrilling.
My, that sounds very interesting.
When something doesn't work out, there's always a reason.
You're all working so hard. Have some snacks.
My gosh. You got these for us?
Thank you.
By the way, where is Ms. Baek?
She went to the sample room.
Oh, I see.
There she is.
You're here.
He brought us coffee and snacks.
This is Yirgacheffe coffee, your favorite.
Thank you.
So? How are the samples coming along?
Good.
I'm sure you'll do a great job,
but you know that we must meet the deadline, right?
Sure thing. Everything is coming along smoothly.
Your team has been working late every day.
Maybe we should hire more people.
That'd be amazing. Right, Ms. Baek?
I was actually going to ask you about it.
Could we hire more people?
Give me some time. I'll speak with Mr. Kang.
Thank you.
All right. Take it easy, everyone.
Don't you think he has a crush on Ms. Baek?
He even remembers what kind of coffee she likes, so yes.
Let's focus and get things done...
so we can all leave early.
- Okay. - Okay.
Yes, come in.
I'm here, Father.
You brat.
Am I just someone you reach out to when you need a favor?
I'm sorry.
Let's talk at home.
I'm staying at a hotel, Father.
Why would you stay at a hotel when you have a home?
Shut it and just come with me.
I'm home, honey.
Hi, honey.
My gosh! What are you doing here?
Goodness. Why are you so surprised? He's not some ghost.
How could I not be surprised?
You should've at least given us a heads-up.
I didn't get a chance to.
I'm sorry to surprise you like this.
Hold on. How did you two come home together?
Did you know, honey?
Had I known, I would've told you.
I'm hungry. Fix me dinner.
I'll get changed first.
Hey.
Why did you come back?
I had to speak with Father about something.
What?
I said I had to speak with Father about something.
Then you should stay at a hotel. What are you doing here?
Father dragged me here.
How long do you plan to stay?
Not long.
Mom, I'm home.
Did you not know that Cha Yeol was back?
Cha Yeol is back?
Why?
He said he had to speak with your dad about something,
but he won't tell me more.
Hey, you're back.
Yes.
Why didn't you call me?
You surprised me.
Why are you so surprised that I'm back?
I'd be surprised to see anyone who was away for eight years.
Is that right?
I thought you were surprised because it was me.
I heard you had to talk to Dad about something.
About what?
Did you not hear that you shouldn't pry?
Is this all for side dishes?
What's the matter? We always eat like this.
Is there something you want to eat, Cha Yeol?
No.
If there is, tell me.
I'll ask the housekeeper to make it for you.
Please don't mind me.
I'm good.
All right, then.
Dad, can we hire more people for the design team?
Under Ms. Baek's management?
Yes, they're swamped. They've been working late every day.
I was actually going to ask you to create a new position.
This works out.
Is there someone you want to hire?
Let's talk about it at work tomorrow.
Okay.
Father, I'll be in your study.
We can talk there when you're done eating.
Let's go. I'm done.
What do they need to talk about?
He said he wouldn't be here for long.
Don't worry.
It must be really urgent.
You came back right away.
I'm sorry.
So? Who's sick?
My friend's son.
He's seven. He's been diagnosed with rare cancer,
so he needs to undergo surgery immediately.
Is it the boy in that photo?
Yes.
Please loan me 100,000 dollars.
It may take me some time, but I promise you I'll pay you back.
Then come and work for me.
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Join the company and work for me just for a year.
Then I'll loan you the money.
Father.
Try it just for a year. If you really don't like it,
you can do whatever you want.
Whether you pursue photography as a career or live in the US,
I won't care. Okay?
This is about a child's life.
You can't use it to cut a deal with me.
The choice is yours.
Choose wisely.
Father.
So?
You'll meet him again tomorrow and help him find his camera?
Yes, I rashly promised him that I would.
My goodness.
He turned the tables on you.
I know.
Oh, boy.
But you know,
I'll feel more at ease if I help him find his camera.
Come to think of it, he must've been so offended.
I falsely accused him of stealing. And because of me,
he couldn't find his camera.
My goodness.
You're too understanding.
This is why I adore you. You know that, right?
Of course, I do.
But I have to say,
I feel like I've seen him before.
Really? Where could you have seen him?
I'm not sure.
Try to remember.
Maybe he's been here as a customer,
or you saw him when you were delivering an order.
No, I don't think it was recent.
Maybe I saw him somewhere a long time ago.
A long time ago? You mean, in Taean?
What is it?
Are you reminded of your brother?
No, I'm not.
Don't lie to me.
He's the first person that comes to your mind when you think of Taean.
And that's why you're still trying to track down that hit-and-run driver.
I'm home.
Are you already asleep?
It's getting late. Where is she?
- Where were you? - My gosh!
Hey! You totally scared me.
Where were you?
I was out with a friend. Why?
A friend? Who?
Am I your child? Am I a minor?
I hope it's not a guy friend.
What if it is? Am I not allowed to have a guy friend?
Mom!
Hey, I'm still in my 50s.
I'm still too young to stay single for the rest of my life!
So? Do you want to get married again or what?
Don't try to stop me.
Have you already forgotten what that crook, Mr. Gu, put you through?
Don't you worry.
Mr. Park is nothing like that jerk.
And do you know how many buildings he owns in Gangnam?
Mr. Gu told you that he owned half of Jeju.
Besides, why would such a wealthy man date you?
Hey! How could you say that to your mother?
Get it together, please!
I know you used my credit card to buy him lunch a few days ago.
If you do it one more time,
I'll freeze the card.
Hey, you petty brat. I won't use your credit card anymore!
I should marry her off to someone first.
I feel like I'm living with a mean mother-in-law.
(Hana Dumplings)
I have to take care of something today,
so I won't be able to pick you up later.
Can you come home alone?
Of course. Many of my friends go home alone, Mom.
Really? Make sure you watch out for cars on your way home.
I'll have some snacks ready for you.
You can eat that and go to your taekwondo class.
Sounds good?
Yes, got it.
Look at you. You sound so mature now that you're the class president.
I think so too.
I'm ready. Let's go.
Is your boss here?
My boss will stop by the head office and be here by 3 p.m.
What? 3 p.m.?
You should've told me!
I got the call just now.
Thank you. Have a good day. See you again soon.
- Have a good day. - Thank you.
Hey, Dong Hee. You said you were meeting him at 3 p.m.
I'll put those away. Get going. You'll be late.
I'll just finish this.
(Hana Dumplings)
Hello?
I'm calling about the hit-and-run at Samyi Intersection eight years ago.
Sorry?
Did you witness the accident?
It's 3 p.m. How come no one's here yet?
Taxi!
To Gwanghwamun, please. Hurry.
Okay.
(Bravo, My Life)
I hope the hit-and-run driver gets caught so you can finally put it behind you.
I'll wait just ten more minutes.
Tell them they must finish it tonight no matter what.
Isn't that Dong Hee?
Dong Hee!
What did you and Cha Yeol talk about yesterday?
I'm afraid I can't follow your wishes.
Did something happen?
