(Episode 16)
- What are you doing? - I'm here for pest control.
- Which village are you from? - Kungdari.
What are these?
These are weedkillers.
Are you crazy? You've been spraying this on the trees?
Gosh.
What's going on?
They look like they're from Korea Forest Service.
She was adding weedkiller to the pesticide.
Weedkiller? Is this true, Ms. Song?
No. I just did what they told me.
Did you mix this with the pesticide?
Yes. He told me I had to mix the two.
This is a disaster.
This kills the trees.
And how could you mix pesticides without a mask on?
It could be dangerous.
What is going on?
Ms. Song added weedkiller in the pesticide.
(Police Station)
When will we be released?
Do we have to stay up the night here?
The village head and Mr. Han are talking to them.
She didn't do this on purpose, so nothing will happen.
It hasn't been long since I came back to farm here.
Why does this have to happen?
My goodness, you're back to farm here?
You said you were here to invest.
You're going back on your words to get out of this.
Get out of what? He didn't change his words.
What did we ever do?
Ms. Song is the one who mixed the weedkiller.
You were all in it.
Ms. Song didn't know about it.
Still, the main offender and accomplices are not the same.
Excuse me, you are the one who told me to mix them.
Well, I said they were over there.
I didn't tell you to mix them. Why are you dragging me in?
I'm not dragging you in. None of us knew,
but you make it sound like I did this on purpose.
Goodness.
She's now showing her claws.
As if she actually did something wrong.
You should watch what you say.
I did nothing wrong.
Ms. Song, don't mind them. Nothing will happen.
I'm sorry, I must have woken you up.
I was up a while ago.
But I pretended I was asleep...
because I liked to lie on your lap.
Then you can continue to pretend to be asleep.
Goodness, I should go relieve myself.
Yes. So nothing happened, right?
The trees are okay?
Get a confirmation note just in case...
and fax it to me.
Okay.
Everything is fine.
The tree surgeon confirmed that the trees we worked on are fine.
As long as the Korea Forest Service is okay with it, it'll be over.
- You know their number, right? - Yes. Give me a second.
Can the villagers go home now?
You need to talk to the officers who caught you separately.
We will. Here it is.
Are you done with working as an illegal real estate broker?
I'm not an illegal real estate broker.
I'm a real estate planning consultant.
It's still someone who cons other people.
If you want to be a part here, you need some dignity.
I told you it's not like that.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir?
Sorry?
No, I'm not the owner of the mountain anymore.
I'm not the owner.
Why do you need the contact number of the new owner?
Ms. Hong, did you sell your mountain?
One second.
I'll tell the owner and call you back.
To whom did you sell the mountain?
When?
That's...
Ms. Jo, the villagers around the mountain...
sprayed weedkiller instead of pesticide by accident.
- What should we do? - I'm not sure.
Why did they spray weedkiller though?
Nothing's wrong because they realized it soon enough.
As long as nothing is wrong, it's fine.
It's just a mistake the villagers made.
We'll cut all the trees anyway.
Then I'll tell them not to worry.
Did you buy Ms. Hong's mountain?
She begged me to.
She said you were trying to get a free ride,
so I bought it at a cheap price.
Is that what she said? That I'm trying to get a free ride?
If that's not true,
why did those people kill the trees in the neighboring mountain?
That mountain is yours.
Well, that's...
How dare you try your old tricks again?
Now, you and I are the owners of the mountains.
Shall I look into those who killed the trees...
and find out who ordered them?
Well, I was fooled by the agencies too.
Tell the new owner that we said thank you.
Thank you. Bye.
The new owner said not to worry.
Damages on a few pine trees wouldn't matter to a rich person.
But who would have put weedkillers in your truck?
They were with other pesticides.
If anything's suspicious, we can ask the villagers later.
Sir.
Until when do we have to stay here? It's past dinnertime.
You should finish adjusting your clothes in the ladies' room.
I'm not a little kid.
I took care of it myself.
Tell those guys inside to come out. It's all over.
Goodness,
you are the treasure of Kungdari, Mr. Han.
Whenever things happen, you come and solve it.
This is why Dr. Jin is so head over heels for you.
Gosh, you're babbling again.
If it wasn't for this, we would've had fun drinking makgeolli...
now that the ritual ceremony is over.
You still have time to party and sing.
Everyone here is so worried.
Yes, I'm with them.
As long as it's not serious, it's fine. Okay.
Everyone is leaving the police station right now.
That's a relief.
Jeong Soon, come.
They must have skipped dinner. We should fix them something.
- Come on out. - You're right.
Eui Soo, take care of the elders.
- Okay. - You can go now.
- Mr. Song. - I'm so tired.
Da Soon is coming.
What about their mother? Is she not coming?
You only just met Ms. Song.
Why do you wait for her so much?
Would you have waited this much if I were taken?
Probably not.
You only take up a tiny part of my grandpa's memory.
Gosh.
Grandpa, who do you like better? Ms. Song or Dr. Jin?
Mr. Song, think carefully before you answer.
Ms. Song will leave,
but I will stay here forever.
Grandpa, you have to say you like Dr. Jin...
to receive candies and chocolates.
Did I do well?
I was going to give you sweets even if he chose Ms. Song.
Thank you.
Yes! I like Ms. Song a little bit more...
because she reminds me of my mom.
Hey, Da Shik. You punk.
A doctor can't make a patient lie.
Bom is in the States.
I sent her away.
She can't come back. She'll be in danger.
What is he saying?
You put this through the hole.
And like this.
- And then... - Like this?
Nothing will happen, right?
Of course.
Even if something happens, it's all on her anyway.
As long as everyone is fine.
What your sister wants is the mountain anyway.
Do you want my sister to rip off your mouth?
Goodness, I knew it sounded like someone was slaughtering a pig.
It was you two again.
Goodness.
Da Soon, Ms. Song. Let's go home.
I told you not to worry.
Right, how did you know?
We have Mr. Han. I knew he'd solve the issues.
He's like Superman.
Superman?
He's usually a farmer,
but when we get in danger, he solves everything like Superman.
You're right. You're lucky that Superman protects you.
He'll protect you too.
Ms. Song Bo Mi.
This has been settled quietly thanks to the village head and Mr. Han.
Check things thoroughly before you work in the future.
Okay.
Well, who would have imagined weedkiller was included...
among the pesticides?
It's kind of suspicious. Why was weedkiller...
Goodness, that's enough.
Let's just go home.
A police station isn't a place to chat at, right?
You shouldn't stay here for too long.
She's right. Let's go.
Move aside. Move.
- What brings you here? - We're from Seoul.
For what?
Did something happen in this area?
Yes. We were working on a case.
Who here is Ms. Song Bo Mi?
What's going on? Why do you need her?
Ms. Song Bo Mi?
Yes, I am Song Bo Mi. What is this about?
We just need to check a few things.
- Come with us. - Wait.
Do you have a warrant?
- What are you doing? - Do you have a warrant?
- Wait. - Do you have a warrant or not?
Who are you?
I'm the village head of Kungdari.
How dare you go up against the village head?
- Move out. - Stay put.
- No. - Step back.
- Show us the warrant. - Darn it.
- Show us the warrant. - What's wrong with you?
Tell me.
I checked that she has been accused...
and dispatched the detectives.
They must have arrived now and are bringing her to Seoul.
Make sure she can't escape this time.
She is caught red-handed, so I'm sure it'll work this time.
She'll be deported right away or go to prison then deported.
It's either of the two.
Did you look into who's digging into the case in Japan?
Yes, ma'am. Do you know a law firm called Five Continents?
Five Continents?
Yes, the inspectors from there have been doing the digging.
Okay. Come back to Korea...
and wrap up her case.
Yes, ma'am. Thank you for the opportunity.
I will do my best and...
Song Bo Mi.
You'll regret that you ever set foot in Korea.
What did Ms. Song do wrong?
Tell us.
Where are you from? Which division?
I can't get through to these people.
Just put them in the cell.
- What? - What nonsense.
Who are you to give me an order?
You can't just barge in...
and do this to the villagers.
Time has changed.
You can't lock up a person without a valid reason.
He's right. It's not the 1980s anymore.
- We must film this. - Go on. Film it.
They are right.
Even a police officer can't randomly take someone with them.
You can't treat them like this just because they don't know the law.
He's right. Come here.
We just need to check a few things.
Then we'll check it here.
Please do. Do your investigation here.
- That's what I mean. - That's what I mean too.
You're doing it here.
Goodness, my whole body aches.
What on earth happened?
Gosh, I'm tired.
Those disloyal guys.
Ms. Song will be fine.
Don't worry. Go home and rest.
If it wasn't for Grandpa, I want to be with Ms. Song.
Nothing bad will happen to her, right?
Of course. I guess the police officers want to ask her something.
I thought her visa was settled.
What's going on?
I'll quickly take these people to the village,
so wait here for a while.
You had a long day too. I'll call you later.
Okay. Call me if anything happens.
- I will. Take care. - All right.
- Let's go, Da Soon. - Thanks, Mr. Han.
- Bye. - Aren't you coming?
We are coming.
What is it that you want to ask me?
Let me see your phone. Do you consent to it?
Why do you need to see my phone?
You seem to be involved in the case we're working on.
Give us your phone.
What case is it?
I'm American. It hasn't been long since I came to Korea.
You're right.
You are a deported foreigner. You must have been desperate.
You looked up about smuggling.
You must have needed money too.
"Smuggling, how to smuggle to China,"
"what it costs to smuggle, how to kill a tree,"
"how to buy weedkiller, how to kill a tree with it,"
"the Forest Law, what you need to smuggle..."
I didn't... I didn't look up these words.
Why would I smuggle?
Who else would search with your phone?
You were going to smuggle to China,
so you needed money and that's why you killed trees.
That doesn't make sense.
You were deported from the States because you committed a crime.
I didn't do what happened in the States,
and this thing you're talking about. It has nothing to do with me.
Gosh, we have a witness and evidence. Stop denying.
Goodness.
What is this?
Why does Jang Su have this?
The person who took the fall for my drunk-driving accident...
Was it Song Bo Mi?
She was looking for you, so I was guiding her.
Who is she?
Was this the bomb he meant he could throw at me?
What does it mean? What are they?
Did they...
What is it, miss?
I thought it was Ms. Lee.
Hello, may I have some food?
Talk to me if you're done eating.
Ma'am.
I got into an accident because I was hit by your car in Kungdari.
- Do you remember me? - And?
Since the accident,
my body aches, and I haven't been able to work.
- So? - I saw a clip on the internet...
and realized the driver from then really is your son-in-law.
I wasn't in my right mind back then, so I settled for some petty cash,
but they say the amount of settlement fee...
is different for rich people like you.
Does your dad know you're doing this?
Why would you mention the old man with dementia? How annoying!
Dementia?
Kungdari?
- What's your name again? - Why do you ask?
Song Ha Nam.
Your daughter takes after you, so she's bad tempered.
The way she treats people has been criticized by the public.
If people find out...
that Lee Na Bi's mother slapped me like this,
reporters will swarm like flies.
How dare you say my daughter's name with that filthy mouth of yours?
Do you want me to seriously deal with you?
I'm sorry.
With the security footage I have of you entering the yard,
I can charge you with robbery.
Take it. But it's not for free.
Listen carefully.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you!
Let go of me.
Make some porridge to take to Jang Su tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Where are you? Why are you not home yet?
I'm at the hospital. You told me to stay on good terms with him.
I had to tell him something, so I stopped by.
What is it about?
You don't need to know everything about us.
- I'm not a mama's girl. - Who'd believe that?
Right, do you know anyone from Five Continents Law Firm?
No. Why?
Never mind then. Someone asked me if I knew anyone from there.
Who?
Why the sudden interest? You said you don't know anyone.
I'm sure I can find someone who knows someone.
Do you want me to look into it?
You're suspiciously kind.
Are you sure you have nothing to do with the law firm?
Forget it then. I thought you wanted my attention.
What is going on? Five Continents Law Firm...
is where I asked Ms. Song's case to be taken care of.
What did Mom catch?
Maybe from the states, she...
No, no.
What are you talking about?
How much do you report to my mom?
Report?
You make the whole nation know before I report.
Aunt Soon Ja doesn't even smile.
And I've been in the hospital for a few days,
- so I haven't even seen her face. - Are you sure?
Did you tell her you went to a lawyer...
because of Ms. Song's case or not?
Why should Aunt Soon Ja know about that?
Never mind.
Don't ever tell my mom about Ms. Song's issues.
It's a rare case where you helped someone in need.
Why don't you want me to tell her?
Gosh, it makes me look inconsistent.
Wait for me at the parking lot.
Jang Su told me to go home today too.
Is something going on between you two?
Fine. I'll zip my mouth and wait.
Hi. You're late.
You knew I'd come?
Just cut to the chase.
- You must have seen it. - What?
Song Bo Mi?
That's why I had Lawyer Oh bring me the papers.
The land you own in Kungdari.
- Are they divorce papers? - What do you mean?
Too bad.
You know the blameful spouse can't demand a divorce.
A blameful spouse?
You and Song Bo Mi. Since when did that happen?
What are you talking about? You must have gotten the wrong idea.
- These aren't divorce papers. - Why?
You acted like you had never met in front of me.
Did you think I didn't know you were meeting up in secret?
You two teamed up and conned me in the States.
What nonsense is that?
Song Bo Mi came to me first...
and told me that she was deported because of that accident.
So? Did you two come up with a plan to kick me out...
and take over the company?
Now that I think of it, I'm the biggest victim of that case.
Stop being so self-centered.
Song Bo Mi's life was shattered because of it,
so I was trying to compensate without you knowing.
I was trying to persuade her because the conditions were absurd.
Why should I trust you?
If you can't, go ask her yourself.
Check if what I'm saying is true or not.
Let me ask you one thing...
before I go and check with her.
You knew Song Bo Mi when you met me, didn't you?
No matter how hard you try to cover it up, it's an affair.
So Moon Jang Su,
think and behave carefully.
My goodness. She's done some thinking.
You'll make Song Bo Mi and I look like we're having an affair?
You are a deported foreigner. You must have been desperate.
You looked up about smuggling.
Who is trying to set me up?
That woman?
But why would she?
Things are going as planned. We have concrete evidence too.
- Mom. - Hi.
You must be tired from running the company without Jang Su.
Why did you visit him?
It's not like he's severely ill.
He's not,
but he's hurt because of me, so I take care of him.
- Did you eat? - I wasn't hungry,
but I suddenly want to eat the food you make me.
Why did you suddenly want to eat the food I make?
Do you want a new car?
Come on. I'm not a kid anymore.
- Then what is it? - I'm just being a baby.
You're the only person who's on my side in this world.
Of course.
No matter what kind of trouble you cause, I'm on your side.
When you were abroad to study, I was worried so much...
that I hired people to report to me every day.
Really? But why didn't you visit me once?
Your grandmother would never let me.
Is that so? You missed me that much?
I wonder when you'll come to see the real me.
Love for your children never changes.
People point fingers at me for speculating,
but I don't care as long as you're happy.
Eat up. Don't mind if Jang Su teases your belly.
You're scaring me now.
Don't talk like you're ever scared of me.
If it's her doing, then why did she do that?
What has she against me?
No. Don't get creative.
Like the lady said, Mr. Song is an old man with dementia.
Nothing has been confirmed.
Still, it's too much. Why is it always me?
Why am I so unlucky?
Can't my life ever be sweet?
Why is my life always so bitter?
You must be sleepy.
You didn't go home?
I heard you didn't eat, so I bought some snack.
This chocolate is really sweet.
Here.
What is it?
Is something on the ceiling?
No. Thank you.
What will happen to me, by the way?
I don't understand what's going on.
The officers said they have a witness and evidence.
But it's not me.
I'm looking into it, so don't worry too much.
Well, could you contact Mr. Moon Jang Su?
The officers took my phone,
so you're the only one I can ask this favor to.
Well...
Please tell him I'm here.
I will. I'll try to contact him.
Please, I beg you.
He's the only person who can help me.
I'll get going then.
Oh, and if you need help, you can talk to the detective.
Wait.
Do you read other people's mind?
No. Never mind. Thank you.
Sure.
The seedsman testified...
that he saw Ms. Song buying weedkillers?
She even signed the ledger herself.
I'm not sure if sending the villagers home will be okay.
You took all the procedures. It should be okay.
I'm more suspicious about the guys from Seoul.
I find it strange that things perfectly match up too.
I'll look into it, so please buy some time.
- Okay. - And...
Call this number...
and tell him what her situation is like now.
What is their relationship?
Is he her guardian?
That's...
What about it looks suspicious?
Song Bo Mi used to work as a freelance photographer,
and she tried to leak information on a game...
before it was launched after she went to an exposition.
They have the circumstance, witness, and evidence,
but not her confession.
Who would confess right away?
And above all, she has no motive.
Resentment, love, or revenge. None.
She's the biggest victim of this case.
So whoever set her up with this...
must have a reason whether it may be...
resentment or revenge.
The Japanese police say they went to check...
because they received a tip.
And the game company didn't try to see...
if any of their employees leaked the information.
They're only trying to file a lawsuit against Song Bo Mi.
So did you find out who it is?
My investigation team is trying their best, but we're stuck.
My wife is suspecting my relationship with Song Bo Mi.
You should just keep denying.
It's not true, right?
Hello? Song Bo Mi?
What is this about?
- Su Ho. - Hey.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
Is it true that Ms. Song got caught while trying to smuggle?
- What are you talking about? - The whole village knows.
Ms. Song teamed up with the speculators...
and tried to kill the trees...
in order to make money to smuggle.
- How did you know that? - Is it true?
I knew it.
That's why she pretended it was nothing...
when she was about to leave quietly but got caught by you.
It's not like that.
You don't know much about her.
Why do you keep siding with her?
She wouldn't team up with the speculators to smuggle.
She's not that stupid.
Do you actually believe it?
Then why did the police say that?
They have a witness and evidence.
But who said it?
Is that what the villagers believe?
Dong Chun's mom's cousin's cousin...
is a traffic police officer.
The whole village knows already.
Please leave now.
You can never tell a book by its cover.
I thought she was a quiet and obedient lady.
I didn't know she was scheming behind us.
Then again, that's how you avoid suspicions.
Goodness, it's not good...
that Kungdari keeps getting involved in these issues.
That's why we shouldn't accept strangers.
Speculators don't look any different from us.
They come here looking like they are on a holiday,
but they stab us in the back and run away.
- You're right. - You're right.
You guys should wake up too.
Just because she's been nice to you, you lost your judgment.
Ms. Song is not a bad person. Right, Da Soon?
Let's go.
She's not a bad person. She's a good person.
Da Soon, Su Ho will drop you off...
on his way to the town. Let's go.
- Okay. - Come.
Why don't you do a broadcast?
Will you be satisfied with only the villagers knowing?
You should film a video...
and upload it on the internet,
saying Ms. Song might end up in prison.
Well, I was just worried.
Will she really go to prison?
She's innocent. Why would she go to prison?
If she does,
all of us will have to. We worked with her that day.
Why would we?
We only sprayed what Ms. Song gave us.
The one that made the pesticide isn't the only one at fault.
Those that sprayed did bad too.
If Ms. Song gets arrested, all of us will too,
so pray hard that she doesn't get arrested.
And...
if you know anyone from Yangchon-ri or Jangdan-ri,
give them a call.
Ask them if they haven't seen anyone suspicious.
Okay, I will.
I'll leave now because I'm busy today.
Goodness.
- Bye. - Bye.
What will happen to us? Will we get arrested?
- Oh, no. - This is bad.
You haven't even gotten married yet. You're in big trouble.
Get in.
- Let's go. - Be careful.
I can't believe this.
Those people are so heartless.
Someone whom we had meals with until yesterday is detained,
and they sound like they want her to suffer.
Don't tell me you believe that's what Ms. Song did.
Well, she'll get released if she's innocent...
even if you or Su Ho doesn't help.
Please get in. They asked us to check the security footage,
- so let's go see the seedsman. - Okay, sure.
Hey, wait!
Stop.
Ms. Song, get up.
What is it now?
You're under arrest for violating the Forest Law.
- Sorry? - Take her now.
- What is this about? - Let's go.
Why are you doing this? Tell me.
Take me to the police station.
I beg you. Please.
What are you talking about? Why should you go there?
I need to go and help Bom.
I need to go and save Bom.
Get in.
(Everybody Say Kungdari)
Mr. Moon Jang Su sent me here.
If this person is caught, will I be able to clear my name?
Mr. Han, it's chaotic here.
Did something happen? Let's go quickly.
You let everyone else go.
- Calm down. - What did I do wrong?
- Go to the police station... - If you go to prison,
what about me and Da Shik?
I need to tell them.
Take me to the police station.
