(All names, places, companies, organizations, and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)
Song Woo-chang is actually,
planning to cut you off.
Cut me off?
After all I've done for the team?
I won't sit back and let you get me, you jerks.
Don't get worked up.
I won't let that happen.
So trust me and wait patiently.
This is ridiculous.
How dare they treat me like some disposable toothpaste?
I'm the Yoon Tae-kyung.
(Leader)
It's Yoon Tae-kyung.
Why was it so hard to reach you?
Geum Jan-di told me everything.
That you plan to dump me.
How could you?
I won't go down alone.
-Tae-kyung. -I...
I need this job.
I have an apartment loan to pay off.
I have to raise my daughter too!
Hey, Yoon Tae-kyung.
I need money!
You crazy idiot.
Call me when you're sober!
(Leader)
-Did that sober you up? -Yes.
Spare me.
That's the attitude.
You should beg me, not threaten me.
Then,
what do you want me to do?
First, tell me about Jin Yeon-ah.
Jin Yeon-ah...
Who is Jin Yeon-ah?
Do you really not know her?
She said you got her in the team.
N-No.
I swear I don't know her.
I only heard her name from Geum Jan-di.
I really don't know who that is.
I'm suspicious of Geum Jan-di.
Jin Yeon-ah knew all the inside info of Vested.
That means it's highly likely her doing.
Lee Young-shin is just as suspicious.
He brought her to our gathering.
We better hunt down the spy first.
How?
Tae-kyung.
Let's entrap them both.
This is rude.
Why…
didn't you tell me about Jin Yeon-ah?
Let's meet Jin Yeon-ah.
Do you have time tomorrow?
Let's meet up for a moment.
In my house.
I'll text you when.
-Welcome. -Long time no see.
You seem to lose weight.
You think so?
Come on in.
What do you mean?
We'll find out who Jin Yeon-ah is.
I'm meeting her in Lee Young-shin's house.
(Geum Jan-di)
You should answer it.
No, it's only troublesome.
The person you have called cannot be reached.
(Recent calls, Jin Yeon-ah)
You were about to dial her.
(Dialing)
The person you have called cannot be reached.
Youll be directed to voicemail.
Oh, dear. She screened your call.
(Send a message)
(Jin Yeon-ah)
If you drive fast, we can make it to Lee Young-shin's house in 10 minutes.
Do you know where he lives?
Yoon Tae-kyung is on the way.
Leave Lee Yogshin's house now.
I think I need to make a call outside.
Trouble opening the door, Ms. Eo Yong-mi?
You should stay for madeleines.
Mr. Lee.
No matter how urgent it is,
you should take your bag with you.
How...
Hurry and leave.
Before I change my mind.
Yoon Tae-kyung will arrive soon.
Hurry.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.
Lee Young-shin, what are you doing?
It's me.
Did you escape?
Yes, I just did.
I'm near his house right now.
Come. I've got things to tell you.
Where are you right now?
You'll see a red brick house down the residential street from his house.
Yes. I see it.
Then what?
Turn right around the house.
You will find a small parking lot.
I did.
Keep walking to the right,
and youll see two brick houses.
Take the road in between.
I'll be waiting there.
Okay.
How did you lose her?
Or did you let her go?
She had already sensed it.
Have you told this situation to anyone?
Only to Geum Jan-di.
Oh, right.
Song Woo-chang.
The captain knows too.
What?
Did you really think I wouldn't know?
Song Woo-chang, that man full of doubt,
accepted her without any questions?
Gosh, no way.
It's weird if you don't suspect a thing.
The smart Lee Young-shin ate and drank tea with her.
But he didn't find her suspicious.
So you're suspecting me too, aren't you?
You should've looked before you leaped.
I wonder...
if he met that shameless woman by now.
I'm sorry. A car suddenly cut in.
Come on. Lets go.
What should I do?
She can't go far, so leave her.
Yes. sir.
(My Yeon-ah)
Hey, Yeon-ah.
Mom, where are you?
Did something happen?
What?
No. Why?
Are you sick?
No, I'm just tired.
Are you really okay?
Yes.
Mom.
Can I go and see you?
Yeon-ah. I work the night shifts these days and have to go to work later on.
I'll drop by soon.
Okay.
Don't miss any meals.
And take care of yourself as you work.
I will Yeon-ah.
I love you.
Okay, got it.
Bye.
(Si-ah. Yeon-ah)
(Yeon-ah has severe cramps.)
(Si-ah lies at times.)
Why? What is it?
To me,
you looked lonesome.
Why is she making her loved one so lonely?
Why does she tire him out?
She even gambles.
So imagine how she is to the kids.
If it were me,
I would do much better for you and the kids. That's what I thought.
I guess I had a sense of superiority over her.
But I don't know if this is right.
Can you tell me
what I did?
How much do you know about Jin Yeon-ah?
Nothing. I swear.
When I find out what you know about her...
It's coffee right now.
But who knows what will be inside this cup,
next time.
Your answer?
Understood.
How's your son doing?
What should we do after?
I don't know.
Oh, dear.
Darn, come on.
-Oh, poor him. -Hey, get up.
-Gosh. -Get up.
You really need physical training.
Do 50 squats every day, okay?
Promise.
Or I'll come after you.
Me too.
What happened, Yong-mi?
Just something.
Gosh
I'm sorry for causing you a nuisance.
It's okay. Are you sure everything's good?
Yes, of course.
Well...
I'm sorry to ask,
but can you stay someplace else from tomorrow?
Must I move out before the moving?
I'd like you to.
Okay.
I can stay at the lab for the time being.
I was looking for a new place anyway.
I'm sorry, and thank you.
Hurry and leave. Before I change my mind.
Yoon Tae-kyung will arrive soon.
Hurry.
Why isn't Yong-mi coming?
The manager will come to check who's late soon.
Should I try calling her?
Yes, go ahead.
She's not picking up.
Yong-mi.
Hi.
"Hi"?
Why aren't you at work yet?
And what's with your voice?
Today...
I don't think I can go to work for a few days.
So why?
I can't explain right now.
Once things get settled. I will.
Tell the manager for me.
Okay.
What did she say?
No, no, no!
Why?
Just today is serious enough,
but what, a few days?
Tell her to just quit working!
Ms. Kim Soon-ja.
Ms. Kim Soon-ja, come out immediately!
It's already a week past the due date!
Oh Dong-ju?
It's you, Dong-ju!
You still carry a baseball bat.
Are you drunk?
It's me, Jo-han.
Yes, Jo-han.
Long time no see.
(Hanbang Private Loan)
It's good to see you.
Why aren't you drinking?
I just don't want to.
Should we order soju?
Or do you want soju bombs?
I'm trying to quit drinking these days.
Come on, just a glass.
We met after such a long time.
By the way,
I can't believe you still carry that.
It reminds me of the old times.
Do you remember?
You were so strict.
You do?
Was I?
So what do you do these days?
With a necktie on,
so I doubt you're an office man.
Don't tell me you're into a pyramid scheme.
You're married.
Don't worry.
I work at a company.
What company?
I'm with the Sales Department of Saman Motors.
But...
recently,
I was promoted to department head.
Saman?
A department head.
You see,
when I played in the minor league,
I worked quite diligently.
The head of the club took a liking to me and recommended me to Saman.
Wow.
You found success, Kettle.
You always carried a kettle to serve water,
but you made it from there.
You sure did.
What about you, bro?
What, bro?
Yes, bro.
We're getting old together.
I can call you that, right?
Brother.
-Let's have another drink, bro. -No.
We need to go for another round!
My gosh.
-You do have gotten gutsy. -What?
Hey, Jo-han.
You played so poorly that you used to throw batting balls.
You've gotten so gutsy.
I give you that.
Right.
What did you do in the meantime?
You were always so eager to insult your juniors.
It's a joke. I'm just joking.
I've become cheeky with the social experience.
Now I even get to joke around with you.
Right.
We're both getting old anyway.
Right, give me your business card.
I'll recommend you if anyone needs a loan.
My business card?
Just a second. Can you hold this?
I don't have a business card.
but I'll give you this.
No matter how old you get,
you need to show courtesy to your senior.
I regret that I adored you for resembling me.
Bro?
Darn you little...
Bro?
That crazy idiot is so proud until the end.
You'll feel too ashamed to even sleep tonight.
(Hanbang Private Loan)
Why, are you here to pay me back?
At this hour?
Did you drink?
It's none of your business.
Pay me and leave already.
You shouldn't drink, should you?
And you gamble knowing that you shouldn't?
That's how we got to know each other.
So what do you want?
I feel like
I want to beat someone up real bad.
And I won't mind a woman.
I'm here to borrow money.
Why? To gamble again?
-No. -Then?
Then?
Just forget it.
Don't drink, or you'll end up like me.
Then?
Darn it.
She might be sued at this rate.
Ms. Eo!
You might be sued, do you hear me?
An ant might fall from here and sue you!
You take your days off without notice.
You can't even focus on work.
Why don't you just quit and rest at home?
I'm sorry.
Miss work without notice one more time.
And you will be fired right away.
This is my last warning.
Yong-mi. You were here?
I've been looking for you.
Soo-ja! Yong-mi is here.
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
Let's have breakfast.
It's about time for employees to come.
You two go ahead. I have work to do.
What's wrong with her?
Geez.
You need to explain.
I had no other choice.
Song Woo-chang already knew everything.
I think he reached Yoon Tae-kyung.
I have my own fish to fry.
Song Woo-chang is suspecting me too.
How much does he know about me?
That you're not Jin Yeon-ah, as far as I know.
He asked me how much I know about you.
Lee Young-shin knows my real name.
Anything else?
I don't know how much he knows.
Can you check?
We shouldn't get involved anymore.
When I find out what you know about her.
But who knows what will be inside this cup,
next time.
Don't come to work please.
If you get caught. I'll be dead too.
I'm asking you.
I'll get you a different job.
What can I do?
Just wait.
There will be so many jobs available for you.
I'll look it up and call you tomorrow.
So, please don't come to work after today.
(Geum Jan-di)
-Hello? -It's me.
Are you available for an interview this afternoon?
Yes.
There's a chairman of a small corporate I know of.
His secretary position is vacant.
So you're up for the interview.
He already knows how old you are.
I told nice things about you.
You'll get the job as long as you don't make any major mistakes.
Okay.
He's pretty old.
He's picky about what you wear.
Dress well.
I'll text you the time and place.
Okay. I will.
(Jongsan Women's Sauna)
Yes, Captain. I just met her.
Yes, sir.
Explain.
How do you know her?
Just before buying Yesan Constructions--
That's a lie.
She's the only one who had the key to my office.
I don't know about the phone. It's true.
I don't know how she got that phone.
You're the only insider from Vested we know.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because of money.
I'm sorry.
What money?
When I found out she was fake.
I got paid for information from her.
For Yesan Constructions.
But that's not all.
As you all checked,
she brought accurate information.
I thought we'd need her.
And I just wanted this team to remain.
Okay. Explain.
I didn't know.
There's no way you didn't know.
You overlooked even when Geum Jan-di and I suspected her?
You wouldn't have fallen for an old woman like her.
It was her hand.
What kind of gibberish is that?
Are you Mr. Lee Young-shin?
-May I sit here? -Of course.
I'm Lee Young-shin.
I'm Yoon Tae-kyung's friend,
Jin Yeon-ah.
I was careless.
I'm sorry.
You really don't know this face?
She looks familiar, but no.
If she went into my office,
she must be from inside.
She doesn't work for us. I'm sure.
Who are you?
Why do I have to tell you?
Its not like you're so beautiful that you could even ruin the country.
Still, it will be a waste if you die today.
I have a phone that contains your secrets
and the recording of your conversation in the first meeting.
Did you think I didn't see this coming?
If one day I suddenly disappear or supposedly kill myself.
Yoon Tae-kyung's phone
and the recording from the meeting will be sent to the prosecutors.
That's not how you make a deal.
A single pill for migraine will solve the problem for us.
But you'll lose your life.
Persuade me.
End it here.
I only helped you after joining your team.
I also had some fun thanks to you.
Lets just end it here.
How can I be sure you won't be a splinter in the thumb?
Like you said, nothing is more valuable
than my own life.
Fine. Send us all your information on us.
How are you going to bring it?
Should I send Lee Young-shin?
I will go.
Then the manager said,
"It went to Andromeda"
That's crazy.
Aside from my name,
how much do you know about me?
You have two daughters named
Jin Yeon-ah and Jin Si-ah.
You live in an old villa that is 30 years old.
You work as a housemaid
in UM Village in Cheongdam-dong.
When I lied, you must've despised me.
I gave you a chance to be honest once.
I told you about my one secret.
You should tell me yours.
How does wine taste to you?
As you can see, I had no courage to be honest.
Were you even planning to?
Will you wait here?
Yoon Tae-kyung's phone--
Let's keep going.
(Si-ah is the best.)
I didn't make a copy.
and I didn't record anything about you people.
I'll make sure to pay you back too.
I got Yoon's project phone.
She didn't make a copy,
and the recordings were a lie.
What about her house?
It was someplace else, not her house.
We have to believe her for now.
I can't guarantee, but I'll take responsibility.
You will take responsibility?
Fine, let's believe her.
What are you going to do with that woman?
Not sure. What do you suggest?
She can't be a threat to us.
I suggest you just get over it.
All right, I'll do that.
(Express bus ticket, 46,000 won)
He's so diligent at using my debit card.
(SJ Bank)
Press the button you'd like to proceed.
Your card is being read.
(Withdraw)
Enter your PIN number.
(PIN Number)
Please hold.
(Du-young)
Press the amount...
-you'd like to withdraw. -I'm at the bank now.
I'm so excited to get a coffee truck.
Please take your card.
(Not enough money in the account)
In-kyung?
Hello? In-kyung.
Should we report your money stolen?
(I use this money temporarily. I'm sorry.)
Your boyfriend took the money?
This is theft. We should report him.
What is it?
Then,
he will become an ex-convict.
Can't you think of any place he might go to?
He used my debit card.
When?
30 minutes before I went to the bank.
Where did he use your card?
He bought an express bus ticket.
Can I check the text message?
Here.
(Express bus ticket, 46,000 won)
The price says he's going somewhere pretty far.
Maybe Jeolla or Gyeongsang Province?
His family lives in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang.
Let me call the terminal first to check.
(Auntie: Don't let your mom know.)
What shouldn't I know?
(Draw pattern to unlock)
Gosh.
(Can you give me some allowance?)
(Okay. I just wired the money.)
Don't let your mom know.
What are you doing?
Have you been
asking your aunt for money?
This is invading privacy.
I'm your mother.
And she's your aunt.
But you discuss everything with her.
You don't have the capability.
You rude brat.
I may be incapable, but I'm still your mother.
Whatever.
Just get out. I need to study.
What did I do you so wrong?
I sold insurance, scrubbed others,
and even sold products to pay for your studies.
I played a part in your acceptance to the prestigious university.
Yes, you played a big part.
Because of you,
I missed my ticket to the Ivy League.
Only if you hadn't lost that money from Auntie--
I didn't gamble it away nor did I buy expensive clothes for myself.
Had I at least bought myself a cup of coffee,
I wouldn't be this sad.
I get it. So...
I only wanted to make your life better in the States,
so I lent money to my close friend and lost it.
That's all l did.
It was a mistake.
Because of that one mistake,
do I have to feel guilty to my son for my whole life?
That one mistake changed the goal of my life.
Your one mistake.
Get it?
Just live as you would.
I have no expectations from you,
and I never will.
Leave my room please.
Mom.
Don't buy this for goodness' sake.
How did you find me here?
If you were going to run away,
you shouldn't have used my card.
D-Don't be like this.
You've gotten smart.
Besides, I'm not running away.
You're mistaken. I'm only going on a trip.
Stop talking and give me my money.
Give me the money you stole!
Okay. Let's talk outside. Let's get out.
Let's get out of here. It's okay.
Lets get out.
I told you about the investment.
I thought you understood me.
I said no.
I just need three months.
Once I become successful after three months,
I was going to propose you.
I'm only borrowing it for three months.
Just three months.
Besides, when we get married,
it's going to be common property.
If you make such a fuss,
you'll be embarrassed big time later.
Even if you're married,
it's not common property.
Who are you?
Korea has the separate property system.
Property before marriage or money the individual made after...
I'm sorry for eavesdropping.
I know you told me not to interrupt.
But I just couldn't listen to him.
You must give that money back to her!
Unbelievable.
You were cheating on me?
Cheating? Watch your mouth.
I'm sorry, Du-young.
Why are you apologizing to him?
I'm the one who is heartbroken.
We broke up already.
When you let me in, you had feelings for me too.
What are you talking about? You--
How can you love two people at the same time?
I had no idea, and I dreamed of our future.
You're such a bad girl.
I can never let this go. My heart is...
The bus is departing in three minutes.
So wait for me at home until I go back.
When I settle my feelings, I'll--
I'm really sorry.
Things got worse because of me.
No.
Because I'm not good enough,
that's the best love I could get.
You should've let him sue me for assault.
If you just let him take the bus,
you'll lose all the money you saved up...
No.
I can't let you get in trouble because of me.
Money doesn't matter.
Yet.
I still got
my debit card
I'm not crying for money.
It's just...
that the man I used to love once...
My love is so pitiful.
It's him who was bad.
Your love is innocent.
So,
don't be embarrassed.
Yes?
Lets grab a drink with Yong-mi.
Next time.
There's no next time.
I might die of a heart attack tonight.
It's so unfair.
My heart is going to burst from resentment.
If I have to die of a heart attack,
I'd rather die drinking... What's that called?
Expensive whiskey.
You can't die drinking expensive alcohol.
You need rat poison at least.
If you're suggesting rat poison, I'd go.
(Ahn ln-kyung)
Bye.
(59,000 won)
It's all booze anyway.
So whiskey is the same as soju.
Yes.
We'll get drunk the same, right?
Have you tried calling Yong-mi?
She won't pick up.
Send her a text message.
Okay.
Is there anything cheaper?
This will be my last text message.
I left your bag in front of your door.
I forgot I left it there.
Who can it be?
Ms. Eo?
Ms. Eo!
Ms. Eo?
Eo Yong-Mi!
CLEANING UP
Oh, my gosh!
What happened to your face?
I'm sorry I lied.
Yong-mi!
Should I rip her open and sell her organs to the black market?
Who the heck is this son of a gun?
I'm going to throw you into jail at any cost.
Have you gone mad? You shouldn't be here.
You ridiculed me.
How dare you!
Pick it up!
Put that down.
Why did you do that to me?
You crossed the line too much.
How do I die today?
By taking my own life, huh.
