(Episode 12)
Ah Ri, what's the matter? What's going on?
Is Byeo Ri sick?
She's got a fever, so I got her a fever remedy.
But it won't work. I was about to take her to the ER.
My goodness, she's burning.
Get in the car. Let's go.
She's got a cold and enteritis.
How painful and hard would it have been for her?
She should've told me that she's sick.
That fool didn't even tell me.
This young child went through a lot.
Of course, she'd get sick.
Her mother suddenly died, came to our home, and then a motel.
She tried so hard to adjust to an unfamiliar environment.
I feel so sorry for her.
If it wasn't for you, we would've been in trouble.
Don't you need to go to the flower market?
Will you be all right by yourself?
Of course, her fever is going down,
and the doctor said we can leave when she wakes up.
All right. Then call me when she wakes up.
Oh, honey, you're up.
You should've slept in. You were so drunk last night.
Did you prepare breakfast for Bo Ra?
You would've been to the flower market at dawn too.
You wouldn't have slept at all.
I'm fine. I can take a nap later.
I made dried pollack soup as a hangover cure.
Would you like a bowl for your stomach?
Sounds great.
There.
Thank you.
It's so refreshing.
Where did you drink so much?
Oh, just.
- Good morning. - Hey.
How do you feel, Dad?
I'm fine.
I feel so much better after having this pollack soup.
You should eat up and go to work, Bo Ra.
Okay.
Did you make breakfast, Mom?
Yes.
Well, on my way to the flower market,
I saw Ah Ri and Byeo Ri.
At dawn?
Why were they out that late?
Byeo Ri got sick and went to the ER.
How sick is she to go there?
She has a fever and enteritis as well.
She was burning up...
Did Ah Ri...
call you first?
No, I told you I bumped into them.
Ah Ri looked pale and...
That brat...
needs to go through hardship to come to her senses.
Did she think it's easy to raise a child?
Don't either call Ah Ri or pick up her phone now.
Okay?
Ah Ri.
Byeo Ri, you're awake.
Where am I?
It's the hospital.
Are you all right?
Your fever has gone down.
You should've told me if you were sick.
Why did you just hold it in?
You're already in hardship because of me.
I didn't want to bother you.
You shouldn't keep a sickness.
From now on, tell me if you're the tiniest bit sick.
Do you know how scared I was?
Okay.
But how did we get to the hospital?
I don't remember.
Hey, don't even mention it.
Do you know how hard it was to carry you here?
I thought my back would break.
If we didn't meet Mom, we would've been in big trouble.
Did your mom come too?
Mom dropped us off here...
and left as she had to go to the flower market.
We can go when the IV drop is done.
Let's go when it finishes.
Okay. I want to hurry and go home.
Home? That inn isn't our home.
It's our home if you and I live there.
What a nightmare.
My whole body aches.
What's that?
What is that thing?
Is that a ghost?
It's so nosy!
Goodness, Seoul's air at dawn is still disgusting.
Did you sleep out here?
Were you the one who was making all that noise?
You woke up so early.
Why this hag?
I told you to get out, and you camp out here?
You said I can't sleep inside the room.
So I slept out here where there is no heating.
Why? Does that bother you?
Why would this hag make me angry so early in the morning?
I'll catch a cold, so enough with that rubbish and let's go in.
The breeze is so harsh.
If you fall sick, I'd have to look after you.
What? Are you insane?
Why that hag just blabbers anything out!
Why would you look after me when you're not even my wife?
Has she lost her mind?
Chan Sung, I just finished. What about you?
I still have ten more houses to go to.
Let's deliver the rest of them together.
It's okay. You should go home first.
We have many things to do after we finish work.
We need to finish quickly and make 30 lunch boxes.
Where are you? I'll go to you.
All right.
I'll soon arrive at the place where Golmok Mart is.
Let's meet up there and split the parcels.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
Oh, Sun Han asked me to get her some clothes.
She must have to work all night long and film the show.
Wow, she's great.
She even got you up at dawn when you never wake up early.
Of course, it's for Sun Han.
You should sleep a bit more. It's only 6 o'clock.
Watch out when you drive.
If you get into an accident...
You were on the blacklist of the insurance company in the States.
Why would you say that? You're making me feel bad!
I'm just telling you to be careful.
Gosh, I have to hurry. Why is it so dark here?
Chan Sung!
Chan Sung, are you okay?
Jun Soo, my back.
What about the driver of that car?
What?
Seriously!
Oh, my gosh!
Hey, what are you?
How could you have the door open at a narrow street?
Why won't you say anything?
How could you have the door open on the streets?
Well, you came out from there out of the blue.
What did you say?
On the street where there are many cars parked,
you shouldn't drive so fast.
Also, you didn't even look front when you were turning the corner.
What? Look front?
What in the world are you saying?
Are you saying it's my fault?
Well, you didn't have the headlights on...
and were speeding, lady.
What? Madam?
Who are you calling a lady, you brat?
- Pardon? - He left the door open,
and I got into an accident! Who are you to yell?
But why are you speaking down at me?
If you did something wrong, you should apologize.
How dare you twist my words around?
You. Tell me as you left the door open.
Was it your fault or not?
Well...
Unbelievable.
It's just not my day, isn't it?
Fine.
I need to get somewhere in a hurry.
So get it covered by insurance and call this number.
You should write your number down too.
My poor baby, what happened to you?
It must have hurt so much.
Once you see the repair costs, you two will be shocked.
Does it hurt a lot?
Let's go to the hospital first.
Dae Ro,
I didn't renew my insurance.
What?
You said doing it yourself would be cheaper yesterday.
Grandma came by without notice, so I forgot.
What do we do?
I heard Chan Sung got into an accident.
Headquarters called.
They're getting complaints about late deliveries...
in Chan Sung's area.
Tell him to be prepared for a penalty.
He was trying to cover for Mr. Kim.
He was overloaded. That's why the accident happened.
That wasn't Chan Sung's area.
You forced an extra workload on him.
Me? When did I do that?
You're saying you didn't?
You know our story. Don't be so coldhearted.
Coldhearted?
Do you want to see what coldhearted is?
Once we calculate the penalty,
his commissions for this month will be reduced significantly.
- Deal with it. - Wait.
The penalty is what it is.
I think we need to come to an agreement.
Can you talk to headquarters,
and ask them to cover the insurance charges for the accident?
What?
If you're going to talk nonsense, leave. I'm busy.
(Lee Ji Ran)
Director of DBS?
What's going on with my luck today?
What's this? I don't know this number.
Is it the truck driver that I crashed into?
Hello?
Is this Director Lee Ji Ran?
I'm the driver of the truck in the accident earlier...
I see.
Did you talk to your insurance company?
We were so out of it earlier.
You must have been disconcerted from the accident in the morning.
And?
What is it you want to say?
If you go to the service center to get your car repaired,
we won't be able to cover the charges.
- I can introduce a repair center... - What?
What are you talking about?
You want me to take my car to a repair shop I don't even know?
You're ridiculous!
You were driving fast with your headlights off too.
You can't say you don't have any fault.
What? Fault?
You keep clinging to the fact that my headlights weren't on.
Do you want to talk to a lawyer about that?
There's a mountain of judges and district attorneys I know!
Excuse me.
We're not saying we won't pay for the repairs.
We want to come to an agreement, somehow.
No.
I'm not going to do that.
Do you even know who I am?
It doesn't matter who you are.
Why do you keep talking down to me like that?
What?
Do you want me to use honorific for people like you?
Aren't you being too harsh?
What's too harsh about it?
I have footage of you driving with your headlights off...
on the security cameras and my black box,
so we're going to court with that, lady.
Did you just call me "Lady"?
This conversation was also recorded,
so you'll have to take responsibility...
for your power tripping and abusive language.
Do you understand?
What? You recorded this?
Power tripping? Abusive language?
This is ridiculous.
Fine. Do what you will!
Did you get into another accident?
I told you to be careful!
I didn't cause it, I was the victim!
This is driving me crazy!
There.
This is all vegetables!
What am I? A cow?
How vulgar. Who eats meat nowadays?
These are gifts from nature.
I gathered them myself from the mountains and hills.
Everything is organic.
You got all of this yourself from the wild?
That's right. Try it.
It's totally different from the stuff at supermarkets.
The taste is definitely stronger.
Well, at least you can recognize that.
And this...
is enzymes made from mistletoe.
Try it.
What are you? A salesperson? You're a granny from nowhere.
That's a cure for everything!
It even cured liver cancer.
Sir, ma'am, I'm back.
- Hello. - Are you having breakfast?
Why are you alone?
Chan Sung got into an accident while making deliveries.
What?
Did he get hurt?
He's getting X-rays now.
I came to put the car back.
What happened?
He was making deliveries for someone who missed the work today.
But the manager just won't listen, so I'm going to the headquarters.
Well, that's a bad company!
Do you want me to come with you?
No, it's okay.
I need to soak the greens to make the lunch boxes tomorrow.
It's already soaked.
I put them in the water earlier today.
You're great. You do everything well.
I'll get going then.
Good luck, Dae Ro!
Good luck! You can do it!
- Okay. - You do it too.
- Good luck! - Oh, come on.
Dig in.
Open wide.
The persimmon wraps all the tastes like honey.
It's a hundred times better than sugar.
It's sweet and savory.
The video's concept isn't terrible.
They have quite a few views.
But there's no distribution platform like Daybreak. How can he say no?
Yes, Mr. Kang?
Do you have some time right now?
There's something I need to talk to you about.
So...
you're saying that the accident happened because of overloading,
and the company has some responsibility for that.
Is that it?
I'm not asking for you to compensate for everything.
- But... - Weren't you the ones...
who took on the extra work?
That's what your manager told me.
That's not true.
The delivery man in charge had to miss work because something came up.
He couldn't find a substitute, so the manager gave it to us.
Then, you could have said you couldn't.
What?
If the coworkers don't help out,
there's a penalty for the person who missed work.
It's an unfair system that only exists for the company's profits.
So you're saying that I'm forcing an unfair system on the drivers?
That's how the system is.
The delivery commission isn't that much.
Every time a customer complains,
we have to pay up to 1,000 dollars as a penalty...
Mr. Kang, I'm aware that the penalty is given...
after reviewing the customers' complaints thoroughly.
Besides, it's not even your problem.
You're being nosy in other people's business.
You're someone who's quite forward and crosses lines, aren't you?
You're the one who's crossing the line right now.
The person who was in the accident is like a brother to me.
I thought you'd think from the workers' point of view.
Workers?
Aren't you and Mr. Ban owner-drivers?
You work as delivery drivers as individual businesses.
That's why you can work your lunch box business on the side.
That's right.
We have a contract with Daybreak...
to use our own vehicles to make deliveries for commission.
Doesn't that mean we should only have...
to make deliveries as stated in the contract?
What does that...
More than 90 percent of drivers are taking on more...
work than as stated in the contract, including loading the trucks.
What if all of that exhaustion is threatening lives?
You're being unreasonable, bringing up threatened lives.
From extra work that was forced onto us...
to work outside of deliveries that we don't get paid for.
These things happen so often...
that there are cases of owner-drivers...
had the court rule as industrial accidents.
I see.
Then we can go to court with this too.
The law is great.
But you can just give the case to the legal team at your company.
We're busy 24 hours a day.
Even if the law is on our side, it's not an easy choice to make.
Then what do you want me to do?
Talking to you,
I don't want to work with this company anymore.
If you want to quit,
you can talk to your manager.
Here!
These prices don't come every day!
Come taste these sweet apples!
Ma'am, you're more beautiful than Snow White herself!
- You should try this honey apple. - Oh, my.
I'm a fan of yours, Bo Ra!
You're even prettier in person. Your face is the size of my fist!
Really?
Here.
You can see the sweet spot in there, right?
It practically melts in your mouth!
It really is like honey. I'll take a bag.
Yes.
Here you go. And this is a special gift from me.
Enjoy!
I sold another bag!
- Wow, you sold more? - Incredible!
- Ms. Kim Bo Ra is doing great. - Please try this.
Try these apples. Here you go.
We're going to get many views.
Is it tasty?
Director Kim, you're here.
Yes, you're here too.
You must be busy.
What brings you all the way to the filming site?
I didn't come here on purpose, but I had business nearby.
So I dropped by on the way.
I see.
I was just going to go.
I hope the shooting ends well.
Take care.
Bo Ra.
Dad.
Did the shooting end well?
I thought you weren't coming today.
I had some work to do so I got here late.
I couldn't even make you breakfast.
And I've been arguing with your mom.
I'm sorry about many things lately.
Why would you say that?
You are in a stew these days, Dad.
I understand.
Yes.
Thank you for taking it that way.
I'm sorry too, Dad.
Why would you be?
I lied to you too.
I didn't know it from the beginning. I found out later.
But at least I should've been honest with you.
When I think of how betrayed you would've felt,
it makes me feel so bad.
It's all right.
You don't have to feel that way.
So are you headed home?
- No, I'll drop by Grandpa's house. - Okay.
Drive safely. I'll see you at home.
Yes, Dad.
Grandpa, it's me.
Oh, my.
Who are you?
Who are you, ma'am?
Me?
I live here. How about you?
You live here? Since when?
It's been a while.
What is your relationship with my grandpa?
I see. You're the old geezer's granddaughter.
What do you mean?
We share food and sleep in the same house.
Pardon? Share food and sleep in the same house?
How could this be?
But you are not my grandpa's type at all.
That's as ridiculous as a bear slipping in a river.
That old geezer is not my type either.
I'm only here for the money.
For the money?
Are you here to go after Grandpa's fortune?
Say what?
You'll be struck by lightning for saying that.
Why this hag must be crazy!
Why are you swearing at my precious granddaughter?
I wasn't swearing.
The chances of getting struck by lightning are very low.
What?
Grandpa, who is this old lady?
Oh, she is helping those meal box delivery guys.
She's the kitchenhand.
Don't say kitchenhand. It doesn't sound good.
These days they call it...
chef.
The kitchenhand that Dae Ro was looking for?
I said I'm a chef.
Tell Dae Ro I'll be back quickly to take care of something.
Chef!
Goodness. So much for a chef.
That old hag came from the countryside,
but I don't know what's keeping her busy every day.
Is she touring in Seoul?
- By the way, - Yes?
I made this is chrysanthemum tea.
It's good for relieving stress, Grandpa.
Chrysanthemum tea?
You're here, Bo Ra.
My gosh. Did you hurt yourself, Chan Sung?
How did you get discharged already?
Luckily, my bone isn't broken.
I have to receive outpatient treatment for a while.
You got into this accident as you work from dawn each day.
Daybreak is ridiculous.
Oh, wait. I called up the manager and said I'm quitting too.
I was really put off.
The contract period is over anyway.
And we would've quit sooner or later.
Goodness. Does that mean both of you quit delivering?
Yes.
That CEO has no understanding of the issues of his subordinates.
But that's not what Jun Soo is like.
You might want to believe that way as you're shooting a commercial.
That's not very pleasant to hear.
I think my back hurts again.
- Your back? - Does it hurt?
- Go to your room and lie down. - Right.
- Goodness. - Be careful.
Yes, Ah Ri. Which room are you in?
Room 401?
Okay.
You're staying here?
Oh, Byeo Ri. Are you all right?
Yes, Mrs. Lee.
I bought some porridge.
Get up and try it.
You look haggard.
Mom,
you didn't have to bring this.
Let it cool. You might burn your tongue.
Okay. It's so tasty.
Mom,
I should get going as I have a meeting.
It won't take long.
Can you wait for Byeo Ri to finish eating before you go?
Sure. Don't worry. Go ahead.
- Off you go. - See you.
Here.
Yes. Ms. Shin.
Did you cast the CEO of Daybreak?
I'm on my way to the meeting.
You are?
Cast him whatever you do.
That's how we'll launch this program.
I got it.
It's almost time. I'm hanging up.
Are you Ms. Shin Ah Ri?
Hello. I'm Shin Ah Ri. We talked on the phone.
Yes, the CEO is waiting for you.
He is the CEO.
(No Matter What)
They have 3 each and I only get 1?
Are you doing this on purpose to wind me up?
You'll be on the news.
He is Kim Bo Ra's dad?
Hello, ma'am.
- He is the director of Plus Market. - He is?
Why are you doing this?
You are Ah Ri's dad.
Did you ask your mom to convince me?
I can never forgive her.
