(Episode 17)
Mr. Han.
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.
- Mr. Song. - Mr. Han.
Grandpa, let's go home.
- Let's go. - Why are we going home?
He needs to take his medication.
I forgot to give him the medication.
Let's go, Grandpa. You need to take the medication.
Da Soon, is he saying he needs to go to the police station for Ms. Song?
Yes.
If Mr. Song knows that she's at the police station,
then everyone here in Kungdari must know.
Mr. Han.
Grandpa, Mr. Han will bring Ms. Song back. Right, Mr. Han?
Of course.
Please don't worry about Ms. Song.
You can go home with Da Soon.
- I need to go. - Grandpa.
- Grandpa. - Yes, Detective.
- Mr. Song. - Mr. Han.
It's chaotic here.
- What do you mean? - My boss and those guys...
from Seoul are quarreling over Ms. Song.
They don't want to let go of her.
I'm glad you're there. Please help us.
We'll get there right away.
Sir, let's go quickly.
- Did something happen to Ms. Song? - Yes.
I'll come with you. Let's go.
Let's go, Mr. Song. Go.
- We'll see you later. - See you later.
Let's go.
- Move out. - What's going on?
- What do you think you're doing? - Just get out.
Why are you getting in?
I'm going to Seoul.
Ms. Song, come here.
Okay then, you can go to Seoul. Ms. Song, come this way.
Where do you think you're going?
Gosh.
What's wrong with you?
I said we were investigating this case from before!
Detective, what is going on right now?
Is it that big of a crime to have mixed...
weedkiller inadvertently?
Yes. If you cut down trees...
or kill trees on purpose,
you could face up to three years in prison...
or be fined up to 30,000 dollars.
Then why am I the only one here? You let all the others go.
We'll have them back.
And you're suspected of speculation.
I'm only allowed to stay here for three months.
Why would I speculate?
That's what the detectives from Seoul said.
That you were hired by realty dealers.
Who are those people? Let me meet with them then.
Just wait for a minute. Mr. Han is on his way.
Mr. Han is?
Yes, so sit down and wait.
May I use your phone then?
What for?
I called the person you asked yesterday.
What did he say?
He's admitted to a hospital right now.
He can't come because he burned himself.
Is it severe?
You can talk to him yourself after this case is settled.
Move out. Where is Ms. Song?
Open the door.
Ms. Song. Ms. Song!
Open the door now. Ms. Song!
Okay. I'll check on it and call you.
Has Ms. Song been taken somewhere? Or is she here?
She's here. They need to investigate on this end first.
We should go to the seed store first.
Ms. Song testified she bought the weedkillers from the seed store.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
Eat these potatoes until Da Shik comes home.
Relieve yourself in the pot if you need to.
I need to go.
What's wrong with you? Why do you keep saying that you need to go?
I need to go to the police and tell them everything.
If you did something wrong to her,
tell her when she comes back later.
If you did something wrong and end up in prison,
who will Da Shik and I live with? Dad?
Da Shik gets terrified and wets his pants when he sees Dad.
Who will protect us if you're gone?
Grandpa, don't go to prison.
Don't go anywhere...
and live with me and Da Soon here.
- No. - Don't go to prison.
- No. - I want to live with you.
If I don't protect her, Bom will get hurt.
- Grandpa. - 30 years ago,
I did something really bad to her.
She ended up in the States because of me.
What are you saying?
Please don't do this.
I need to tell her what happened back then.
I need to tell her while my memories last.
Tell her when she comes back. Okay?
No. That's not what I'm saying...
I hate it too. I hate the thought of you leaving us behind.
So don't go anywhere.
Get up, Da Shik. Let's go to school.
- I want to go too. - Grandpa.
Da Soon, what if Grandpa goes to prison...
while we are at school?
- Da Shik. - Grandpa.
He won't. Let's go.
Grandpa, Da Shik will open the door when he's back,
so watch TV in the meantime.
Come straight home after your school finishes.
Don't go to the internet cafe with your friends.
I won't. I'll protect Grandpa.
Did he get into trouble again? Why are you locking him up?
And why are you all crying in the morning?
Grandpa keeps saying he needs to go to...
Da Shik.
You'll be late even if you run to school now.
If I'll be late anyway,
I'll just walk slowly.
- Just come with me now. - Shall I give you a ride?
You won't be late if you go by car.
- Really? I'd love that! - Yes.
Forget it. We'd rather be late than to ride a car...
of someone who's trying to take our house from us.
My wife paid for your meat and rice cakes...
for the ritual ceremony.
And your dad took the money we gave you to move.
Even though I'm the owner of the house,
we're living in a tent for your sake, so you can't...
We are thankful for your help,
but you keep lying to us.
I heard everything. You sold the house to Grandpa...
Goodness.
This is why they say it's meaningless to be good to others.
Whether you are a kid or an adult,
you should know how to repay for kindness.
This is what they call "dine and dash".
That's when you guys eat rice and kimchi...
from our kitchen and not saying anything.
What?
Da Shik, you shouldn't be so stingy about food.
There is a stew in the kitchen so you guys can eat it.
Don't ever open the door even if my grandpa asks.
- Please, I beg you. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Hey. My gosh, hey.
What kind of conversation was that?
We just lost, right?
It's because you mentioned "dine and dash".
Anyway, why is the whole village so quiet?
It's about time the village head is here to pick me up for work.
Are you waiting for him or what?
The lady named Ms. Song took a box of weedkillers that day.
She signed here too.
But the village head ordered pesticides.
I only gave them to her because she asked for them.
Are you sure about that?
Did Ms. Song ask for weedkillers?
Are you saying I made a mistake here?
I'm just asking because it's strange.
I always come to get the weedkillers myself.
I never let anyone else pick it up.
I figured you'd be busy.
Why didn't the security camera work?
It was off that day.
I only found out while I was checking with the detectives.
Isn't it strange that it was off...
on the day Ms. Song visited out of all days?
So what are you trying to say now?
Are you trying to say I did it?
Just leave. I already told the detectives everything,
so ask them if you have questions.
Gosh, this is so annoying.
- Go now. - Wait.
- What did we even say? - Just go now.
- We just said it's strange. - Leave now! I'm busy as is.
The signature does look like Ms. Song's.
What if something serious happens to her?
Could you go back...
and check the dashcam in Mr. Nam's car?
- I'll go this way... - What did you say?
Wait a minute.
Where are you going?
Let me come with you.
What is it? Did something happen?
No. Nothing.
Then why did you start running?
Why did you come here?
What? I just followed because you started running.
I told you to go and check Mr. Nam's car.
All right.
Why are you still here?
- Are you sure about it? - About what?
You said she teamed up with the speculators and killed the trees.
You said you were certain.
I've prepared everything for you. Why can't you deal with it?
Must I walk you through it like a baby?
Darn it, you're so annoying.
I got it.
Stop talking to me like I'm a baby.
If you finish this job with Song Bo Mi,
I'll let you work as a real estate broker.
This is your chance to get promoted, so do it properly.
That's why I'm asking if you're certain about it.
I've told you many times, you punk.
If you're pulling a prank again,
I won't let you be.
Gosh, she'll throw a fit if she finds out...
Song Bo Mi is still in Paju.
Yes. About the team that worked on killing trees last time.
Can you make them work again?
You must be in a good mood to be making cookies in the morning.
I did it for you.
You like to relieve your stress with food.
I did in the past but not anymore.
Then what are those chocolates and snacks...
in your bureau and drawers?
You must know how many panties I have also.
- Do you want me to tell you? - No, thanks.
There is no point in trying to keep a secret from me.
Do you get it?
Shall I tell Driver Kim to take food to Mr. Moon?
No. I'll take it to him on my way.
Why would you? He doesn't deserve it.
Just let Da Woon take it to him.
I'll just be generous to him.
What if he doesn't know how to appreciate it?
He knows that when I'm being generous, it's not for free.
So don't worry.
He won't give up on the game theme park.
Don't mind other things and focus on your work.
Right, why didn't you stamp on the letter of attorney?
I told you to give your seal to the legal team.
I haven't made my mind up yet.
Do it today.
Gosh.
It's actually cold here.
The air conditioner is on full power.
What brings you here at this hour?
Look at how you talk.
Others may think I'm your distant relative.
Did that sound too cold?
I should ask you the same question. Why are you here at this hour...
when you've been discharged long ago?
Well, I'm a jobseeker. That's why I'm home.
Where else should I be?
Hey, how about...
you join ME Game as an employee?
I'll ask Soon Ja.
I'll ask her to pay you a lot too.
- Mom. - What?
At least we should know where to draw the line.
Do you know why the entertainment industry in Korea is a mess?
I don't.
I don't even get why you're asking me that question.
Why are you here even before breakfast?
It's been long since the sun rose.
The villagers are so diligent, right?
It's time they finished breakfast and morning job.
It's time for them to eat some snacks now.
But the people in Seoul have just got up...
You're eating brunch? My goodness.
You've become one of them now.
I can adapt to anywhere.
Like a caramelon.
Mom, it's chameleon.
You know what I mean.
I told you to stay put in the countryside,
yet you come so often.
You're so restless.
My husband had to meet some people,
and I didn't want to stay there alone. That's why I came.
The whole village is a mess because of that Ms. Song.
What happened to Ms. Song?
Well...
She was planning to smuggle.
She teamed up with speculators...
and sprayed weedkiller on trees.
But it has nothing to do with us,
so don't you worry.
You should go to work.
Da Woon, please take some porridge and side dishes to Jang Su.
- Bok Ja. - I was about to eat.
- Bok Ja. - Okay.
Goodness, let go of me.
Why did you bring her up in front of the kids?
Why does it matter? They don't even know who she is.
What is the point of talking about her here?
You'll get Ms. Hong's land thanks to me.
Soon Ja, how much commission will I get?
Give me about 50,000 dollars.
Goodness, don't take my money for granted.
You can't even do your job right.
- Did you kick that old man out? - Don't even get me started.
He made a scene, crying and wanting to go to the police station,
but his granddaughter locked him up in his room before she left.
His son is out of reach, and he is crazy.
The kids are young.
All we can do is just sigh.
Police station? Why did he want to go there?
It's because Ms. Song is there.
He cried all night, looking for her...
and saying he has something to tell her.
You don't know because you weren't there.
But not a single day goes by quietly.
Look. I can't even sleep for four hours a day.
So Soon Ja,
give me 50,000 dollars.
Na Bi, are you going straight to the law firm?
- No. I'm going to work. - Will you call them?
What do you mean?
Ms. Song is at the police station.
- So what? - You're so heartless.
You said she saved your life.
Hey.
Mr. Moon.
Is he dead?
Hey, wake up. Hey!
Gosh, he's alive.
Are you okay?
Go.
What will you do?
You never came here.
And you never drank.
They won't reduce the penalty for being feeble-minded.
You have a criminal record too.
- So... - So just go!
Did you report an accident?
It's because of Jang Su. Song Bo Mi and Moon Jang Su.
- Did you know about them? - No, I don't.
It's just that I have a crush on her...
Don't. You'll get hurt.
Thanks.
Who are you?
I'm here on behalf of Mr. Moon.
I see. I heard he's hurt. Is he okay?
It's crazy. You know his wife has a temper.
She poured boiling cheonggukjang on him.
I guess he really wanted to eat the cheonggukjang you gave him.
- Anyway, please sit. - Okay.
I have a question.
Do you know anyone else at ME Game other than Mr. Moon?
Ms. Lee Na Bi. I happened to have acquainted her.
But why do you ask?
It's nothing.
It's just to prevent any misunderstandings.
I think it's best that Mr. Moon doesn't know.
- Okay. - Well, then.
It's him. He tailed me.
When?
I hadn't been in Kungdari for that long.
Yes, ma'am. I'm...
Who are you? Why are you tailing me?
Tell me.
Stop right there!
He set me up for the incident in Japan too?
Will I be able to clear my name if we catch him?
If we find him,
we'll be able to find out who's behind him.
Who are they? Why are they going there?
- Are you ready? - Yes, we are.
Let's go!
Su Ho. Suspicious people are cutting down trees...
and spraying something on the mountain.
I'll talk to the village head,
so don't do anything before the villagers get there.
Just stay put.
Sir, some guys are killing the trees in Kungdari right now.
Really? Give me a moment.
What is the seedman doing now?
As you said, he is suspicious.
He shut the store, saying he's out to lunch,
but he's been on the phone.
- He went to the bank too. - He went to the bank too.
This is an emergency situation.
Stop doing whatever you're doing...
and come to the health center.
What's going on again?
This is a very serious situation,
so if you can move your body,
please gather at the health center.
That is all.
This is strange. Where is everyone?
I know. It seems like there is no one in the health center either.
Is everyone having a nap because it's too hot?
Are you sure your husband went to meet with Mr. Song's son?
Why isn't he calling?
He'll come soon. Let me call him.
Honey, where are you?
What?
Just tell me.
What did you say?
Hello? I can't hear you.
But I can hear you.
Say it. What?
Just say it. Darn it!
- Be quiet. - Sorry.
- She's here. - There you are.
Where are those punks?
Where you guys worked last time.
They are putting something like salt all over the place.
My goodness, those punks. It must be potassium chloride.
They are planning to kill all the trees and sell the land.
They must be scary people.
Can we just wait for the police to get here?
What if they run away? Ms. Song is about to be falsely accused.
- Gosh. - We need to catch at least one.
He's right. Until Su Ho gets here with the police,
we must keep them here.
The youngest, Sang Han, should go first.
Sang Han.
Go first and just cling onto one guy.
We'll take care of the rest, so don't worry.
- Me? - Of course, you're the youngest.
Take this.
They must not be ordinary guys to be doing such a job.
Everyone, hold yourself together.
Like I said,
you should hold onto the tires,
and we will hold onto one guy only. Okay?
- Go first. - Gosh.
Let's go.
Hide.
Evidence.
- It's here. The evidence. - Here's one too.
- Here. - My goodness.
- Good day. - Are you done too?
Yes.
Hello.
Who are you?
Don't mind us. Keep working.
What brings you here?
Attack!
I got you!
You're dead!
- Why would you kill trees? - Darn it.
- You jerks. - You'll go to prison.
You'll rot in prison!
Is everyone okay? Are you not hurt?
Just wait.
They will get body aches because they are old, but they are fine.
- Good work, everyone. - Thank you.
Go home and put some hot towels and pain relief patches.
- Okay. - You worked hard too.
I'll take care of them one by one, so don't worry.
I'll head back to the police station,
so you and the village head should wrap up the situation here.
Sure, don't worry.
Will Ms. Song be back?
If we can prove that she has nothing to do with those people.
Hey.
You.
You. Do you know Song Bo Mi?
- Who? - He doesn't know.
He doesn't know.
Ms. Song has nothing to do with this matter,
so please let her go.
All right, I get it. You should all go home now.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
Just stay put.
Thanks for your help, everyone.
- Thank you. - Please take good care of them.
- I'll see you later. - Those jerks.
Just stay still. Don't do this here.
- I need to put on the patches. - Do it on your own.
Are you...
Darn it!
You will be directed to voicemail.
Goodness.
Why aren't you picking up?
Just remember that Soon Ja will find out that we put...
the 50,000 dollars in stock trading.
She's here to talk to Mr. Song's son.
Da Soon. Da Shik.
Please open the door for me. I need to go.
Where are you going to go if I open the door for you?
I told you to stay quiet.
Do you want to go to prison like Song Bo Mi?
Is that why you're dying to go to the police station?
You...
It's you.
Why can't you talk? You've become a fool all of a sudden.
Bom. Look at me.
When people come outside, say "Mom".
How could a mother...
Even an animal takes care of its own baby.
You will be doomed.
You'll become like Song Bo Mi soon.
What did you do to her?
Your memories must be coming and going.
I sent her to prison.
She will never be able to come out of prison.
If you act up,
you and your son. And Da Soon and Da Shik.
I told you your grandchildren will end up like Song Bo Mi...
if you don't keep quiet!
You witch.
You crazy old man.
Gosh, it stinks.
- Soon Ja, look. - Don't come near me.
Gosh, he must be crazy.
What is this?
Bom. Who would believe me if I said the person after you...
is your mother?
That's why I got you adopted.
That was the only way to protect you from your mother.
Even after 30 years, she still doesn't want to take you in.
She's still so heartless.
I still don't know...
if revealing the truth will save you...
or put your life at risk.
What should I do?
My poor Bom.
(Village Parcels)
Who are you?
Sir, please take me to the police station.
- Why? - Please, I beg you.
(Police Station)
Just let go of me.
- I didn't do anything wrong. - Come on.
He did it, not me.
- I won't let him be. - Just come.
I did nothing wrong. He told me to do it.
- Just be quiet. - You made me do it.
Be quiet!
You are all criminals.
Stay still.
Ms. Song, you may go now.
- Did you get the culprit? - Yes.
Why did they do that to me?
Why did they want to frame me?
The seedman knew...
that you had been arrested for staying here illegally.
He thought of using you when you went to his store to run errands.
He had tampered the ledger in case he got caught.
Were there any other reasons?
Did anyone order him to do it?
Well, we'll have to investigate to find that out.
Ms. Song, let's go home for now.
Let's go.
- I said I did nothing wrong. - What nonsense.
This way.
Wait, could it be...
Could it be the doing of the woman who abandoned me?
Who else would do such a thing?
Why do you think so?
A lawyer Jang Su sent came to see me in the afternoon.
He gave me this.
He's the one who chased after you before.
You're right. This photo was taken in Japan.
The lawyer said it must be him who set me up...
as a corporate spy.
Is that so?
This case must be her doing...
Like Mr. Song said,
she might kill me too.
Why is she doing this to me?
What did I do so wrong?
Do you want to find out?
Yes. I want to find out the truth and why she's doing this to me.
It feels like she might be watching me from somewhere.
Calm down, Ms. Song.
He's here to turn himself in as the kidnapper.
- Mr. Song? - Mr. Song!
(Everybody Say Kungdari)
Where did you say your new sanitarium opened?
How much land of Kungdari does Ms. Lee's mother own?
Let's get rid of everyone.
I'll call your dad.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry.
Will you get the message when you don't get voted to be CEO?
Will you let me take charge of the game theme park?
He's about to go and start...
the construction in Kungdari as soon as he's discharged.
