I'm home.
I might...
transfer to a different division.
She requested to be transferred,
but I can't let her do that.
I'm sorry.
I wanted to be a son you can be very proud of,
but I really can't live without her, Dad.
Hello?
Isn't this Moo Goong Hwa's number?
The owner of this phone fainted, and the ambulance took her.
I beg your pardon?
What are you doing here?
Let's talk outside.
Don't go anywhere near her again.
I know people like you, and I can't tolerate you...
being by her side acting like a good person.
People like me?
What kind of person am I?
You abuse and walk all over those who are poor.
Do you know why I became a police officer?
It's because I couldn't stand people like you getting their way.
How inspiring.
I don't know such grand ideas like you do.
But if I were you, I wouldn't have let this happen!
I would've never made my woman go through all this.
What did you say to me before?
Did you ask if I thought my feelings were love?
Then do you think your feelings are love, Inspector Cha Tae Jin?
I don't think so.
Officer Moo has been shedding tears lately. It's not like her.
Love, my foot. You can't even make your girlfriend smile.
Officer Moo, are you all right?
Do you recognize me?
Bo Ra.
I'm so relieved.
What happened?
I heard you're allergic to alcohol.
It has caused itchy skin and rash,
but I've never fainted like this.
You should've told me that.
Did you drink because of me?
No, I didn't.
I wanted to have a drink too.
It's just that our timing was good.
Please don't tell Su Hyuk about this.
Okay.
Mr. Cha.
What happened?
I'll get going now.
Thank you, Bo Ra.
I asked what happened.
It's nothing.
Do you call this nothing?
(Emergency Room)
- Do Hyun. - How is Officer Moo?
She woke up. She's fine.
I didn't know she was allergic to alcohol.
I even left my phone at the bar.
We can pick it up on our way home.
- Let's go. - Wait. I have something to do.
I'll see you at home.
Bo Ra!
I've finished your admission. You'll be taken to a patient room shortly.
I don't need to be hospitalized.
I got an injection, and the swelling is all gone.
I was told you better be monitored...
as this was your first anaphylactic shock.
I didn't drink that much.
Your immune system has been weakened due to stress.
You couldn't eat or sleep well.
The doctor said the reaction might have been worse because of that.
Never drink alcohol again.
Aren't you going to answer me?
All right. I heard you. Please go now.
You must be tired. Don't waste your energy saying unnecessary things.
You should call your family.
Can I use your phone?
I think I left my phone at the bar.
Hello?
Mom, it's me.
I volunteered for another shift. I can't go home tonight.
You did? You must be really tired. I'm worried.
I'm okay.
- What's Woo Ri doing? - She's sleeping.
Don't forget to check her kindergarten note.
I check that more meticulously than you do.
Don't worry about what I can do better than you.
You just take care of your health.
Be careful too.
Good night. I'll be home tomorrow night.
Okay. Bye.
Grandma, shall I turn the TV on?
That's okay. I'll just listen to music before I sleep.
Tae Jin hasn't come home yet, right?
Have you been waiting for him?
How can I sleep when he hasn't come back?
He's not a child. He's over 30 now.
Besides, why do you even care about him when he's only making you worry?
He must be distressed now.
I'm worried he might be drinking again.
Grandma, please don't worry and go to sleep.
I'll call him.
What is he doing?
Is he even going to sleep out now?
Hae Chan is home.
I wasn't talking about Hae Chan.
Oh, did you mean Tae Jin?
Call him if you're worried.
Why would I call him?
You're protecting your pride because you had a fight with him.
- Do you want me to call him? - No.
Tae Jin, it's me. Aren't you coming home tonight?
Hee Jin worries about you so much. That's why I called you.
- I didn't say that. - Stop it.
Baek Ho, I can't go home tonight.
Did something happen?
Officer Moo is sick.
I'll call you later.
Oh, okay. Bye.
What was that? You're making me nervous.
I'm afraid something might happen tonight.
- What do you mean? - He said Officer Moo is sick,
so he can't come home tonight.
What did you just say?
Attending to the one he loves all night long...
can make something happen.
Even for Tae Jin, it won't be easy to let the chance go.
What are we going to do?
- Nonsense. - It does make sense.
Think of how we were when we were dating.
You attended to me all night long when I got injured during a game.
That's how we got married.
Don't say things like that.
No. That won't happen.
Tae Jin is a gentleman.
Gosh. I told you that all men are the same.
It's the same for Father too.
You can only think of what you would do.
This is a serious problem.
Why are you still here?
You no longer have a fever.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
I told you to leave.
Aren't you tired of saying that?
You know how stubborn I am.
Mr. Cha.
You make me worry so much.
You know that I'm the troublemaker of our substation.
I'm relieved by one thing though.
Torturing me stressed you out so much that you drank and passed out.
You're so mean.
Didn't you know that I was selfish?
That's why...
I can never let you leave me for another man.
I don't know what I'm doing to you.
I know how you feel.
You must be feeling the same way I do.
Goong Hwa.
Don't cause your family members too much distress.
When I heard you said you will move out,
rather than feeling happy that you care about me so much,
I thought of how apologetic you must've been to your father...
while you were telling him that.
That was the only thing I could think of.
Just as Woo Ri is precious to me,
your family must be important to you.
Don't think of transferring to another substation.
I don't think I can bear with it.
So don't think of running away.
From me.
Hey. What did you say to me?
You're tired of this?
You're sick of me?
How could you say such things to me?
Do you think I'm a joke?
Am I easy to you?
Do you think you can treat me however you want because I like you?
I'll step out for a bit, guys.
It looks like you're drunk.
Yes, I'm drunk.
I had a few drinks because I couldn't stay sober.
Do you have a problem with it?
If you have something to say, just say it. I'm busy.
Try all you want. I know how you really feel.
Don't try to push me away again, Su Hyuk.
Bo Ra, come to your senses.
That's why I came to see you!
Do you have no pride?
Yes, I don't even care about things like that.
Good for you.
Everything is so easy for you, isn't it?
Easy?
Do you know what it took me to come all the way here?
Su Hyuk, you're such a jerk.
Do you think you're better than everyone else?
Who do you think you are to put me through all this agony?
Agony?
This is agonizing you?
- Su Hyuk. - That day,
do you know how I felt as I was leaving your place with my mom?
I cursed meeting you as well as all the times I spent...
loving you.
- Su Hyuk, please. - Love?
I don't know such a thing.
I'll never let myself be in love again.
Su Hyuk.
Are you done now?
Leave if you're done.
And I don't want to see you ever again.
I'm sorry.
- Su Hyuk, I'm really sorry. - Get out!
- We're home. - We're home.
You guys must be tired.
- Have you eaten yet? - Mom,
do you know what time it is now?
Is Goong Hwa working a night shift today?
Yes, she called and said that she picked up an extra shift.
She overworks herself whenever she's stressed out.
Don't worry too much.
It might be better that way.
Good night.
You too. Get some rest.
- Have a good sleep, Mom. - You too.
What was that about?
- What? - You've been so grumpy.
- You're abusing people now also? - What?
Mr. Jin used and abused others using money as his mean,
- and you're using others' feelings. - Ju Young.
Let's be honest. What did Bo Ra do wrong?
Forget her family and her brother.
- Did she do anything wrong to you? - Enough, okay?
You're obviously still struggling to get over her. Don't go overboard.
If you push any further, you'll look like a coward.
- Ju Young, here. - Thank you.
Su Hyuk, let's have a quick talk.
Did she hear us?
Su Hyuk, are you still seeing Bo Ra?
I guess you heard what Ju Young was saying.
Why did he go on about useless stuff?
Are you two back together?
No, I just met her for a few minutes for work-related things.
Gosh, Mom. We're really not back together.
My heart aches whenever I think about the two of you.
I know how kind-hearted and sweet Bo Ra is.
I also know how much she likes you,
but I still can't allow it, Su Hyuk.
When I think about how her dad slapped you on the face,
my heart starts racing again.
Mom. When I think about that day...
Whenever I think about the look on your face...
Su Hyuk.
Why did you have to bring it up, Mom?
Anyhow, Ju Young is such a troublemaker.
I think you got the wrong idea.
I really don't have any feelings left for her.
You should get some sleep, Mom.
I don't believe that.
It says on his face that he's having such a hard time.
Gosh, why is the soup so salty?
Is it salty?
It tastes fine to me.
Dad, I don't think it's overly salty.
Dad has high blood pressure, you know.
Right, eating bland food would be better for your health.
You should've made vegetable soup. Why do you always make beef soup?
Other women don't even let their husbands eat too much beef...
to make sure their cholesterol levels don't soar.
Please get some exercise if you're that concerned about your health.
And make sure you see your doctor for regular check-ups.
Don't make me live in anxiety.
You should exercise, Dad.
Ms. Heo is so worried about you.
We should play golf together.
And stop eating jjajangmyeon so often.
You always have trouble digesting it.
You brat. Because I lived on jjajangmyeon every day,
I was able to earn and save this much money, and all of it...
Dad, why are you talking about this out of the blue?
Oh, you're right.
Is it because I'm getting old? The weather has gotten chilly,
and it's making me think about a lot of things.
Try this. It's low in sodium, but it's quite tasty.
You should have a few more spoonfuls of rice with it.
I'll make a delicious vegetable soup for you at dinner.
- What wrong with your face? - What do you mean?
Did something happen yesterday?
No.
Make sure you don't show Dad that you know about Ms. Heo.
He'll find out eventually anyway.
No, he must not find out.
What are you going to do, then?
That you don't need to know.
Anyway, just remember that he'll collapse if he finds out.
And make sure Ms. Heo doesn't find out. Got it?
I need to check out a few places for the research,
so I'll be back pretty late.
All right.
I wonder if Bo Ra is okay.
Gosh, what's going on with Officer Moo?
She's never been late.
I know, right? This is the first time she's late for work.
Mr. Cha, do you know what's going on?
What's going on?
Officer Moo will be in a bit late today. She's not feeling well.
Why? What happened to her?
I think she drank yesterday.
She can't drink, can she?
Right, she can't.
Remember how her face swelled up after a glass of soju?
Why on earth did she drink, fully knowing that she's allergic?
She only had a couple of drinks, but she was tired to begin with.
So how is she doing now?
Yes, tell us. How is she now?
She's okay.
She'll be here in the afternoon after her treatment.
Is she going through something?
I mean, she rarely joins us when we go out for drinks together.
No more chitchats. Get back to work, everyone.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Tell Dad that you think Ms. Heo went to see the lawyer...
because of the arcade project.
How will you handle what is to come?
I think he'll find out eventually.
Just do as I say.
Do you have a plan?
I'll make her leave empty-handed no matter what,
just like when she first moved into our place.
Do you think I've been planning this only for 1 or 2 years?
You're so scary.
I knew it when I first saw her.
That she wasn't with my dad because she likes him.
Although I couldn't even imagine that she had children.
Did you find out anything about her children as I said?
I'm looking into that.
She's such a mysterious woman.
She has so many secrets.
I feel bad for Chairman Jin.
Are you sure?
Yes. I think you don't have to worry.
So it's certain that she visited the the lawyer because of the tenant?
Yes.
I see. That's good.
Still, you should continue to keep your eye on her.
As I told you before, never let Do Hyun know about this.
Once the word gets out,
you'll be finished too. Do you hear me?
Yes, sir.
What are you talking about? You want to quit?
It hasn't been so long since you started.
- The kids are the worst. - Hae Chan.
Just be honest and say that you hate studying.
I heard that they're all in the top two in their classes.
Good grades don't necessarily mean good personalities.
They all said they like you.
Do you believe their words instead of mine?
No. That's not what I mean.
What's the matter with him?
It's not too late. You should let him quit now.
Or else, you'll regret later.
- I won't regret. - I warned you.
If anything bad happens to him, I won't forgive you.
Do you hear me?
Mother, what brings you here?
They were on sale. I saw that all the dish sponges were worn.
I can't believe her.
What is the matter?
You don't usually raise your voice.
- I feel like my blood is boiling. - Why?
You must have noticed how Hae Chan's face looks lately.
He looks like a 60-year-old man at his age.
It must be hard for him because it's his first time.
I'm worried because I don't think that's the case.
Kids can go astray so easily.
It's your day off after a long time. Why don't you go to a bathhouse?
You said your body ached.
Is there something going on?
It's about Hee Jin's family.
What is it?
I think Hae Chan is having a problem in keeping up with his lesson.
Gosh, that brat. She should go easy on him. She's over the top.
It's normal for a mom to do so.
However, is there any problem with his lesson?
Hasn't Hae Chan been so quiet lately?
He doesn't even smile.
Is that because he's going through puberty?
Hee Jin's family might move out soon.
It looks like Hee Jin's mom is looking for a house for them.
I heard that.
Did she tell you that too?
Hee Jin's mom asked me to understand her.
She said she wants to help her children out.
When I heard that, I envied her.
Why would you envy her?
Of course, I envy her.
I want to give Ju Young everything that he needs.
That's how any mom would feel.
So try to understand her, and let it go.
All right.
Why are you smiling like that?
I'm glad that you listened to me,
and happy that you told me honestly.
From now on, I won't hide anything from you.
I'll tell you everything.
That's a promise, right?
Okay. I came here right on time.
What are you doing here?
Don't you remember?
You were completely unconscious.
I came here yesterday too.
Why would you come here?
I called Bo Ra, and she said you fainted.
I was so worried when I heard that.
I came to the hospital and saw Inspector Cha coming.
I left you two alone because I have manners.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm perfectly fine as you can see.
Here you go.
I meant to pick it up on my way to work.
How did you find my phone?
I went to the bar to pick it up.
Do you think it walked itself all the way here?
Thank you.
If you want to thank me, regain your health soon.
Stop making me worry.
Let's go. You have to go to work.
I'll give you a ride.
I can take a bus. It's not so far.
Gosh. I told you not to feel so uncomfortable.
I'm not asking you to date me.
Let's be friends.
Just friends. Come on.
That's good. Send it to the criminal division as it is.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Are you feeling all right?
Yes, I am.
You're not okay. You look so haggard.
You should be more careful.
You might fall seriously ill.
I'm sorry.
What made Officer Moo feel like drinking suddenly?
I would like to know that.
Mr. Park.
Stop talking nonsense.
Take it easy. Don't wear yourself out.
Okay.
Why did you drink?
Do you have any worries?
Why are you prying into her affairs?
She's going through enough.
You look well.
I owe it all to your passionate care.
I won't say we should end it right now.
Instead, I'd like us to take a break...
to give this relationship a serious thought.
I'll think it through again.
Okay.
Then we've agreed on the truce.
I was never at war against you.
You just attacked me with all the weapons you had.
I heard you.
Let's think of what we should do seriously.
Mr. Cha, Detective Han is here.
Hey.
Drink some tea. Here you go.
It's very nice.
Why are you in such a good mood?
When was I in a bad mood?
You whined about everything this morning.
I wasn't whining.
It's just that I'm having trouble.
What is it?
My men caused trouble while arguing with a debtor.
It looks like the police found out he took out a loan...
during the investigation.
Why would you be troubled by a petty problem?
It's not like you.
I just don't like being at the center of rumors.
I already have so many problems other than that.
- Which one? - Seoul Corporation.
It sounds like a decent company, but it's a loan shark.
- Seoul Corporation? - Do you know that company?
Yes. My father used to work there.
The chairman's name is Jin Dae Gab. He's a loan tycoon.
So are you saying that jerk with a big mole works for Chairman Jin?
That's what I heard.
He disappeared completely. I wonder where he hid himself.
I haven't told anyone yet.
If Investigator Hwang finds out, he might turn things around.
You're going to work with me, right?
Okay. Let's give it a shot.
Don't be surprised.
What is it?
I found out who Ms. Heo's son is.
Who is he?
Inspector Cha Tae Jin.
What?
Who? Cha Tae Jin?
(Lovers in Bloom)
Chairman Jin and Investigator Hwang have been meeting secretly.
- Are you sure? - I think you should be careful.
Let's send Bo Ra overseas.
I think Bo Ra will leave.
Would that be okay with you?
Can I see you tomorrow?
That's nonsense!
Mom, please don't do this.
Brace yourself and break up with him!
When you've found a weakness, you should exploit it.
Dig up every single thing about Ms. Heo's past.
Everything since her divorce.
