Ms. Lee!
Who is that?
It's Mom. Mom!
Mom.
Mom, it's my mom.
You're dead.
Mom, I'm hurt.
I'm bleeding.
What are you?
- What did you do to my daughter? - Mother!
My gosh. You're amazing, Mom.
You win!
Put it against your cheek. It's swollen.
Thank you.
Mother completely loses herself when it comes to Na Bi's matter.
I didn't mean to fight.
I wanted to help so she doesn't get hurt.
I know. The problem is that Na Bi did get hurt,
and that became your fault.
Are you still upset that you got slapped?
- Bo Mi. - What?
Just ignore it.
- There is no point... - That's not it.
A piece of memory popped up in my head earlier.
A piece of memory?
I called her "Mom".
A woman got out of a car carrying a baby.
If she was carrying a baby,
it means you had a younger sibling.
Bo Mi, why don't you try to find your family?
If you have a family, it'll be easier for you...
to reinstate your Korean nationality.
Stop it if you're trying to weasel your way out...
by using my family as an excuse. I don't even know where they are.
I will prove that I didn't cause the car accident...
and that I had no reason to be deported from the States.
And then, I will meet my family with pride.
I'll take you home. Where do you live?
Just drop me off at a nearby bus station.
There must be a late-night bus.
Don't tell me you're commuting from Kungdari.
I told you to move to the company residence.
I choose where I stay.
I'll go on my own.
Swallowtail
Fly away
I'll fly with you
Goodness, you punk.
Mom.
Mom, it's my mom.
You're dead. Mom.
She must've remembered something.
What if her memory is coming back?
She can never come here.
We must live separately as we have so far.
Please get away from Na Bi.
When did you get home?
I was waiting, but I fell asleep.
I had a company dinner yesterday, so I came home late.
Did you want to say something?
What? Well, that's...
Gosh, I'm hungry.
What do you want for breakfast?
Sorry, I have to head out now.
You only just came home,
and you're going to work already?
This is exploitation of labor.
That's not it.
I can go to work later,
but Da Soon is going to Seoul today.
I'm going to take her to Seoul.
Why don't you let her go by herself?
It's an important day for her.
What if she gets lost and gets there late?
I'd sleep more if I were you.
What I mean is,
Da Soon has been doing fine without you so far.
You never know what will happen.
I'm worried...
that you and the kids will get too attached...
and it'll make things harder one day.
It's hot.
Gosh, I want to go too.
My friends have been to Gyeongbokgung Palace...
and Mount Namsan.
I'm the only one who hasn't.
I'll be back as soon as I receive the scholarship.
After Chuseok,
let's go to Seoul with Grandpa. How does that sound?
Then, I'll buy some meat with the scholarship money.
Meat?
I think bulgogi would do.
Is that so?
I'll buy a lot of meat for you and Grandpa to eat.
Instead, promise me you'll take care of Grandpa...
after school, okay?
Don't worry. I won't leave him alone.
I'm going to eat less now...
to have more bulgogi later.
Da Soon.
Ms. Song!
Ms. Song.
Hi, were you having breakfast?
Da Shik, you need to eat a lot to grow tall.
What are you doing and not eating?
We're having bulgogi for dinner.
I won't be able to eat a lot of meat if I'm full.
- Goodness. - Ms. Song.
Those are the shoes I bought for you.
Why are they still new?
I couldn't wear them because they were so precious.
I wanted to wear them on a special occasion.
You bought them for me.
They aren't even expensive. Wear them often.
I'll get you better shoes next time.
Really? Can I wear them often?
Of course. I want to see you wear them every day.
Like this...
Here.
Wear this on your hair.
It'll make me feel happy to have bought you things.
You look pretty.
It's this way.
Ms. Song.
- Wait. - Wait, there.
Are you off to Seoul?
- Goodness. - Eat this if you get hungry.
- That's great. - It's hard-boiled egg.
- Yes. - Oh, no. Wait.
I steamed some corn. I forgot to bring them.
- Goodness. - Go quickly.
Take this too, Da Soon. It's potatoes.
- Why would you give her potatoes? - This is from me.
- Don't choke on the food. - Hey.
Give the potatoes to me.
- Goodness. - Kids don't like potatoes.
- Take this. - Gosh.
- I'm so proud of you. - Be careful in Seoul.
Good luck. Be careful of the cars too.
- Da Soon is all grown up. - You're right.
She's going to Seoul to get her scholarship.
- Congratulations. - Take care.
She's all grown up, but she's still a child.
I can't seem to feel at ease.
Well, take her safely.
Sure. Don't worry.
Sir, Dr. Jin.
Please take good care of my grandpa while I'm away.
Da Shik is at school too.
What?
Sure.
People might think you'll be gone for a few days.
You'll be back later today. Go on now.
- Right, go. - You'll be late.
- Go. - Okay.
- Good luck. - Bye.
Don't worry and go.
- That's a pretty hair pin. - It is.
- Da Soon. - Be careful.
Get in. I'm on my way to Seoul.
Come on. I'm a busy man.
Is something up? Why are you going to Seoul this early?
I have an appointment. I'll go see Ah Reum too.
Ah Reum? Why? Did something happen to her?
No. I couldn't go last week,
so she's asking me when I'll come.
- I see. I got worried for nothing. - So get in the car quickly.
- Quickly, Da Soon. - Let's get in.
I'm looking so handsome. CEO Moon Jang Su.
CEO.
- Gosh, you startled me. - Where are you going?
To work. What do you think?
What happened to me, by the way?
Did we fight? Did you hit me?
Do you think you would've stayed put if I hit you?
No. Then who was it?
I did hit.
No way. Really?
I know I was drunk,
but how could you hit your grown-up daughter?
- I didn't hit you. - Then who did you hit?
Song Bo Mi.
She brought me home because I got drunk yesterday.
And?
I was trying to jump into the road...
so she was trying to stop me, and we rolled on the ground.
What?
Mom. You went too far.
Come outside. You need to go to work.
Poor Bo Mi. Mom's slaps are painful.
Good morning, Soon Ja.
Hey, it's good that you're here. Come in.
What?
Are you here after taking care of the house?
Of course, yes. Who am I?
As the old cock crows, the young cock learns.
"A dog at a snack bar can cook ramyeon."
"And a dog at a shaman's house can dance on a straw cutter."
I've followed you around for years now.
So? How much is it?
A big one.
I was only trying to wrap things up quickly.
The man of the house was demanding.
I might be able to reduce the cost if we hold out a little,
but since you're in a hurry...
It's been nearly 60 years I've lived as your sister.
How dare you try to scam me?
Soon Ja.
Did I ask for too much?
Soon Ja.
None of them are of any help.
Soon Ja, come on.
I wasn't done talking. Why did you leave the room?
Have you not come back to your senses yet?
100,000 dollars is a lot of money.
How dare you ask for such an amount?
All right. I did think about pocketing some.
It's 50,000 dollars.
The money the old guy sent was 50,000 dollars.
The son said if we return the money,
he'll leave with the children and his father.
Me and my husband are working hard for free, you know.
You must help us get by.
If things go wrong,
it'll be our fault again.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Song asked me yesterday...
if we were ordered by someone to set up the weedkiller case.
And?
What did you tell her?
I have never mentioned your name.
I played dumb, of course.
Why would she ask about that all of a sudden?
Who knows?
What is she thinking?
Does she remember something?
Is this the right place?
- Yes. Thank you, Mr. Han. - I'll go from here.
Why? I'll take you to your work.
You must be busy to get to your appointment.
And I'd like to walk Da Soon in myself.
Please walk her in then.
Good luck, Da Soon.
Thanks.
I wanted to be with you when you receive it,
I'm so upset.
I'm thankful enough that you came here with me.
Call me when it's over.
I can go home after selecting the photos today.
- I'll come to pick you up. - Okay.
Good luck.
Don't get intimidated.
I won't. I'm here for a good thing.
That's right. Go on in.
(Teenage Breadwinner Scholarship Event)
(National Police Agency)
Here.
Thank you.
Is this everything you have on the missing children in 1987?
Yes. I've looked for the data from 1984 to 1990...
since Lawyer Ju called me about it,
but no child matched the photo you sent me.
Either they found her right away...
So the data isn't with the police.
To be more exact, it's not included in the computers.
Right, I sent the photo to my former senior officer just in case.
Your former senior officer?
Thank you for your help.
Please call me if you find the slightest lead.
Thanks for the coffee too.
(Korean Chinese Association)
Goodness.
What am I doing here...
after getting my money scammed by the smugglers?
What's wrong with my life?
Are we in China or Korea?
Hello?
What? Song Bo Mi?
He even visited the National Police Agency?
It's me, ma'am.
I told you to live like you don't exist.
- What is it? - I'm sorry, it's an urgent matter.
Someone looked into the police records of missing children.
- Records of missing children? - Yes.
He brought a photo of young Bo Mi...
and tried to match it one by one.
What? The police records?
Are you sure you deleted the missing report?
Are you sure it won't lead to me?
Don't worry. I got rid of all the data...
regarding Song Bo Mi when I retired.
But if he continues to dig around,
I will have to step in.
Just come back to Korea. Let's talk in person.
Yes, ma'am. I'll be going to Korea soon.
Yes! Okay.
Gosh.
I didn't run away. I'm getting paid soon.
I'm selling my dad's house.
It doesn't make sense that they told you to farm...
instead of reporting you to the police.
They told me to work as much as...
I've scammed from them.
It's not an easy world.
That's unimaginable even in our neighborhood.
That neighborhood is just weird.
They may swear at you, but they feed you.
They have been scammed by me so many times,
but they still adore my kids and my dad.
That's what my hometown is like.
Are you trying to scam me too?
- Hey, shut his trap. - No, that's not...
They did go to get my money.
Just give me a few days. Gosh, don't kill me.
Sir! You just saw me.
Please help. Help me.
Hey, why is this food so salty? I'll come next time!
Darn it, he's Korean.
- He's Chinese-Korean. - Is he one of us?
Wait.
I'll do it.
Sir. Did you not find Ha Nam?
He must have run away after pretending to work for a bit.
Goodness, this punk.
Why do you look so down?
Is it too hot?
Dr. Jin, I just got this from the field.
Tomatoes are a great pick-me-up.
Take this. It's as good as herbs.
Where is Mr. Song?
He's taking a nap at the pavilion.
Do you need to examine him? Shall I wake him up?
Forget it. It's not like he'll give me a clear answer anyway.
Goodness, you must really be hot.
It's not because of the heat.
It's just that you can never know enough about a person.
I thought I knew that person well,
but it feels like I knew nothing now that I look deeper.
Is that how you feel?
Me too.
You too?
Do you know about it too? Did Su Ho tell you about it?
Does Mr. Han know too?
How is he still kind to Ms. Song even when he knows?
Gosh, sir. You can't just take villagers' sides blindly.
How could you defend a kidnapper...
- What did she say? - What was that?
I mean, it's not Ms. Song's fault.
Why shouldn't Su Ho be kind to her?
She's seduced a married man...
and done unspeakable things.
How is she not at fault?
I know you can't be charged with adultery anymore,
but Korea is a country that values courtesy.
That's a huge misunderstanding.
Ms. Song and the guy are not in a relationship.
- I saw it with my eyes. - You saw it wrong.
That's just maliciously edited.
If it's not about that,
then what are you worried about?
Well, Mr. Song is...
I see. You don't know. Forget it.
I'll just go to the forest...
and shout out.
Today's scholarship has been prepared by great people. Gosh.
You have a booger. The other side.
Okay, great.
Don't ever frown once the event starts.
Keep smiling like me, okay?
Great. Try smiling.
Kids these days must eat well.
They don't look that poor.
They need to have some ringworm...
and runny nose.
That would make a good picture.
All those ladies are doing a good deed.
I can't let them be disappointed.
- Ms. Ko. - Yes, ma'am.
You know what?
My mom's skills have gone rusty.
Sorry?
I heard my mom slapped you yesterday.
Which side was it?
I can't tell at all.
When I got slapped, you could see the shape of...
my mom's hand on my cheek, and it took a week for it to disappear.
- Hey, Ms. Lee. - Do you have time this afternoon?
This afternoon? Yes, but what is it about?
There is a scholarship event sponsored by ME Game.
Go there and take some pictures.
- Oh, this is... - What is it?
Is it uncomfortable because it's run by my mom?
No, it's not that. I know this place.
I know a student who is receiving scholarship here today.
Great. I'll go.
Oh, right. Ms. Song.
How did you meet my mom?
It hadn't been long since I came back to Korea.
She asked me the way to Kungdari,
- and that was our first encounter. - You never met her before that?
When exactly do you mean?
Did your mother live in the States?
No.
It's just that something feels off.
Other people say my mom's eyes make them freeze,
but you're not scared of her.
She was a sweet lady to me.
I always thought...
I didn't deserve to be with such a sweet and kind lady.
What happened yesterday was a mishap. I'm fine.
Kind?
(Teenage Breadwinner Scholarship Event)
You should take the hair pin out.
I'm here to take pictures of the event.
I see. Hello. Please sit here for a moment.
(Teenage Breadwinner Scholarship Event)
Oh, hello. You must be the photographer. Thanks in advance.
What are they doing now?
This is an event to support teenage breadwinners.
But they looked too fine.
It'll be over soon, so wait just a moment.
- Are you done with the makeup? - Soon, ma'am.
Makeup?
The rich helping the poor.
Noblesse oblige.
It should be made obvious.
What did you say? So you're saying...
Ms. Song.
Why do you look like this?
- What happened to your shoes? - This may look dramatic,
but it'll barely be noticeable on photos.
I know this. I used to be a makeup artist.
You should have said no to them!
This is nothing. Why are you making a fuss here?
I'm fine. It's just a photo.
With the scholarship, I can pay for Grandpa's medicine...
and buy Da Shik some meat. I'm thankful.
Da Soon.
You said you don't want to look like an orphan.
You ironed the uniform...
and wore new socks and shoes.
What do you mean you're fine?
I really am.
Look.
Did the kids agree to this?
No, even if they did,
what gives you the right to hurt their pride?
Does giving them some money give you the right?
Do you even know what noblesse oblige means?
Hey. Of course I do.
I was going to let you be just because Ms. Jo sent you.
You are one brazen little witch.
Let go!
Get up, all of you. Stop it now!
What are you to order people around? How arrogant.
Do you even know what this event is about?
Get back to your seats now.
If you don't, you won't get any scholarship.
What is going on?
Ms. Ji, I asked ME Game to send us a photographer,
and an arrogant witch came and is causing a scene.
She has stirred up the whole thing.
A scholarship program...
is supposed to do good deeds with good intentions.
Look at the kids.
Do you think this is a good thing?
You're hurting them.
What are you talking about? This is all for them.
This is the way to collect more donation.
You're only a photographer.
Just take some photos if you don't know anything about this.
You're just as low as her.
Hey, do you even know how much money we spend on these photos?
I have no interest in how you spend your money.
Let the kids wash their faces and start again.
They are the stars of this event,
so they must look the best.
If you don't do as I say,
I'll post this online.
What? Go on. Do it now.
Take all the photos you want. You witch!
Ms. Song.
- Let go. - You don't even know your place.
- Let go while I'm being nice. - You're only a photographer.
- Let go! - Stop it!
- What are you? - Ms. Song!
- You go away! - Hey, don't touch her!
My gosh. Hey, stop.
What on earth is going on?
Ms. Jo.
What are you doing? Apologize now.
Didn't you hear her?
Apologize.
I mean, you.
Me?
Ms. Jo. Why should I?
- You too. - Unbelievable.
This little witch pulled out my hair.
That's nothing to be proud of.
Take a seat for now.
You too.
Ms. Jo, I feel so wronged.
We were doing this to make you...
and other ladies look better.
She's right.
Especially, you. You just messed with the wrong person.
I'm going to sue you and ruin your life.
Act your age.
Stop mentioning lawsuits.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Apologize already.
You won't? Is that it?
Well, that's not what I mean.
Stop poking me. Gosh.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry too.
I made a mistake.
We're sorry.
You may leave.
You need to finish the event since the children are here.
Well done, today.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Do you think I'm being fickle?
You must think I'm just like one of them.
No, that's not true.
I misunderstood what happened yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I understand. It's okay.
Thanks for understanding.
But...
I think you called me "Mom" yesterday.
Well, I didn't mean to call you that.
I apologize if it offended you.
It didn't.
It's not like "Mom" is a bad word.
I just got curious why you did.
I think a part of my childhood memory came back.
I remember calling a young woman...
holding a baby in her arms "Mom".
I don't remember anything from my childhood,
but that scene suddenly came across my mind at that moment.
I was right.
Her memory is coming back.
Oh, no.
They ripped your skirt too?
Ms. Song. I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry for? - You got hurt because of me.
I'm fine though.
You're not fine.
Why didn't you say no?
I only thought about buying Da Shik some meat.
I thought taking a picture was all there was to do.
But after I put on the makeup to look like a poor orphan,
I started to regret.
I should've said no.
My situation...
isn't that different from what the makeup was trying to convey.
Why isn't it different?
This is all fake.
Your makeup...
It's all fake.
You are a shining girl.
Your true self is here.
Ms. Song.
I like you so much.
I love that you argue with the adults for me,
and that you know I'm hurt.
I like you so much.
Come here.
It's okay.
- Ah Reum! - Da Soon!
You've gotten so much healthier. You'll get discharged soon.
This is a secret.
I'm going to Kungdari. My test results are positive.
Really?
That's what my dad told me.
Is your dad not here yet?
No. He said he'll come after he's done with something.
Ta-da.
She's the chef, and I'm her assistant.
What would you like to eat?
- Pizza. - Pizza.
There.
It's pizza.
This is tteokbokki.
What do you think this is?
- Is it tangsuyuk? - Correct.
- Cut this out for me. - Okay.
There.
Ah Reum has gone to bed.
Da Soon is with her.
How did her event go?
Well...
If you'll be late, we'll just take a bus home.
Da Soon promised Da Shik that she'll buy some bulgogi.
Goodness, we should go before Da Shik runs out of patience.
I'm here at the hospital. I'll go up now.
I'll wait inside the room then.
What was that?
How is Jennifer doing?
She said Jennifer.
(Plastic Surgery, Cancer Center)
What did you say?
Ms. Song.
What are you doing here?
(Lee Seon Hwa)
Jennifer Lee?
(Everybody Say Kungdari)
What are you doing? Are you not going?
Am I really leaving?
You're not lying, are you?
I have some documents on it. I'll pass them to you.
Ms. Lee!
Song Bo Mi...
The parent company of ME Game is the fashion company.
She's probably the Jennifer I'm looking for.
Will it be okay to leave it in your hands?
She found Jennifer?
