(Episode 102)
I was a fool, all these years.
I believed that my husband got swindled and died,
so I stayed faithful to him...
and lived for Seul A.
How could he...
deceive me like this?
He should've at least left us some money.
Because of him, we had creditors chasing us all our lives.
He deserves to suffer in the fiery pit!
Excuse me.
Ma'am, you already drank a lot.
You should go home now.
Don't bother me.
Leave me alone!
If you keep this up, I'll have to call the police.
Police?
Why would you call the police when I did nothing wrong?
Here, I'll pay!
Okay, fine.
Then...
how are Seul A and I going to live now?
As a swindler's wife...
and daughter.
How are we going to live now?
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Did you find anything?
Right.
Is that so?
I see.
Okay, thank you. Good night.
Hi, Cho Hee. I'm sorry for calling you so late.
It's okay. What's the matter?
If you have some time tomorrow,
can I meet your brother with you?
My brother?
You mean Kang Rim, right?
Yes. Poong Geum told me what happened, so I looked into it.
I wanted to check the facts, so it took me a while.
Pardon me?
Oh, I see.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you, Father.
Was it Mr. Bang? What was it about?
Honey, I think Father looked into what happened with Sun Hae's father.
Really?
I knew he was very worried about your mother,
but I didn't think he'd look into it himself.
He wants to meet me and Kang Rim tomorrow.
He said he'd tell us the details in person tomorrow.
I hope it goes well.
Me too.
Honey, what's your IQ?
What's with this random question?
Let's not ask questions that would embarrass each other.
Even if we added our IQs together,
it'd be lower than Ri An's dad's IQ, right?
That's possible.
This is not good.
With our brains and abilities,
we can neither beat him nor Cho Hee.
There is only one thing we can do.
What is it?
Let's have another baby.
What?
Our IQs aren't the only problem.
We're outnumbered.
Look, you're an only child.
You, Sa Rang, and me.
But Mother has two sons.
Ri An, Ri An's parents, and Uncle Seok Gu.
So if Mother and Father side with them,
it'll be 6 versus 3. We're totally outnumbered.
That's why you're suggesting we have another baby?
That's right.
We'll have another baby,
and Father will have a newborn grandchild.
Then we'll have one more person on our team,
and we can win Father over again.
Isn't it such an amazing plan?
I'm at a loss for words.
We can't win him over with a baby.
Think about it. He absolutely adores Sa Rang.
Besides, we had originally planned to have another child.
That is true.
But why now? This is too sudden.
Because now is the most perfect time.
But you can't be impulsive with these things, honey.
The government encourages childbirth,
so this is an act of patriotism.
Be proud.
Besides, Sa Rang will have a sibling.
Isn't it so nice?
So you're serious about this.
Come on, honey. Hyung Do.
Won Ju, why are you being like this? You're scaring me.
Hey, come here.
- Honey, no. - Come here.
- No, honey!
Sa Rang!
Seul A's father, Han Nam Sub,
gambled often.
Could that have something to do with this?
Hey, Cho Hee.
Kang Rim, if you have some time tomorrow,
let's meet my father-in-law together.
Chairman Bang Bae Soo?
Really?
Okay.
Mom, are you all right?
- I'm home. - Mom!
I stayed out late because I was so heartbroken.
How much did you drink?
Just a little. I only drank a little.
Did something happen?
Your dad...
That scumbag.
Your dad, Han Nam Sub, is...
What about him?
It's nothing. Don't mind me.
Life is so tough...
that I had to bad-mouth him a little and have a few drinks.
That's okay, right?
Mom.
It's fine.
Hold on, Mom. I'll go get a glass of water.
I can't let Seul A find out.
No way. She should never find out.
I can't let her live with such scars for the rest of her life.
Honey, why are you making oyster salad all of a sudden?
What do you think?
For our plan, of course.
Again?
Sa Rang. You want a sibling, don't you?
Of course, I do.
I'd love a cute baby sibling.
You heard that, right?
Honey.
Do you want a baby brother or a baby sister?
It doesn't matter at all.
I just want a sibling.
Really, Sa Rang?
I'm done. I'll go brush my teeth.
- Good girl. - You're such a good girl.
- Ouch, my back... - Honey.
I ordered some eel extract. It'll probably arrive today.
Make sure you take one every day, okay?
Won Ju, seriously. Why are you being like this?
It's so fresh.
Finish this whole thing, okay?
All of it?
(Traditional Tea House)
I hope I'm not taking up too much of your time.
Don't worry. It's fine.
I wanted to do my own research and verify what my staff found out,
so it took me a while.
Do you happen to know where Professor Choi Sun Hae was born?
Was she born in Busan?
No, she was born in Seoul.
Then what about her father?
We don't know where he was originally from.
Then do you remember if he had an accent?
I'm not sure.
We knew him since we were little kids,
but I don't remember hearing him speak with an accent.
Me neither. Does it have something to do with this?
Yes. The man who sold the patented technology...
had a thick Busan accent.
Who said that?
A former employee of PM Cosmetics...
who worked with Choi Hyung Nam.
A researcher who worked there for many years.
This person remembers how he looked and talked in detail.
Was there anything else?
Apparently, he was quite short.
Kang Rim.
Then it's not Mr. Choi. He was tall.
Mr. Bang, would it be possible for us to meet that person?
Well, I had to jump through hoops to track him down,
so it won't be easy.
But I'll try to arrange it.
When you suspect something, you must get to the bottom of it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Father.
Don't mention it.
Yes. Since I'm already in this mess,
it's no use blaming my late husband and doing nothing about it.
I should just...
extort more money from Choi Sun Hae before others find out.
After that, I'll run away...
with Seul A and Jun.
If what Mr. Bang told us is true,
that employee must know the truth behind everything.
Yes, let's meet him soon and find out.
You know, the photo that Sun Hae gave us.
We should take it when we meet him. It may help us.
Oh, that photo?
Yes.
If it really was Mr. Choi,
that employee must remember his face.
Yes, thank goodness we have that photo.
Oh, there's one more thing we have to do.
What do you mean?
Let's go ask Sun Hae about Mr. Choi.
We don't remember hearing him speak with a Busan accent,
but we should make sure.
Okay, let's do that.
(Bangsoo Construction)
Mom, you look great.
Ms. Na, I'm on my break now,
so I can get some rest here, right?
Sure. Make sure you keep track of time though.
Of course.
Why am I so tired?
Nam Gu, did you not get enough sleep last night?
I tossed and turned for a while.
Mom, it looks like you may get another grandchild soon.
(Parking Attendant)
You little... No, it's not true at all, Mom.
My goodness. It's nothing to be embarrassed of.
You and Cho Hee are still young.
You guys should have another baby.
If Cho Hee is too busy with work,
I'll look after the baby.
Mom, please.
What? So they're already planning too?
Darn it.
You're not used to physical work. No wonder you're tired.
I should really order some herbal medicine for you.
Yes, you've been very busy.
No wonder you're exhausted.
It's not too bad.
It's okay, Mom.
Still... Let me order you some.
Cut it out. You're making Mom worry.
Just let her order you some.
Hey, you should have another baby.
- Gosh, no. - Come on.
I want another grandchild. I really do.
Hi, honey.
I'm faithfully following your orders.
Honey, we've got a problem.
What now? You're scaring me.
At this rate, Cho Hee will get pregnant before I do.
What are you talking about?
Ri An's dad said... Forget it.
Anyway, you know that I have good instincts.
What is it this time?
Cho Hee acts demure and quiet all the time,
but she has blindsided us many times.
I think she'll beat us once again.
So we really have to step up our game.
Honey, calm down and explain what's going on.
How can I calm down right now?
Mother and even Ri An's uncle...
offered to look after the baby if she got pregnant.
If Cho Hee and her husband beat us to it...
Gosh, this is crazy.
We'll be finished!
Okay, I'll try harder.
All right.
My, I suddenly feel very energetic.
Should I have one more?
Okay!
Kang Rim, is that you?
Hey, Choi Sun Hae!
Did you think I wouldn't be able to find you?
What will you do about the money you promised to give me?
Are you just going to forget about it?
You broke your promise first.
I only did that because you went AWOL on me.
So? You'll just forget about everything now?
I will give you the money.
I wanted to take responsibility for moral reasons anyway.
How could I trust you though?
Let's go. We can talk outside.
Why? Let's just talk here.
Promise me you'll pay me the rest and tell me when I can get it.
I'm expecting someone.
You can't trick me with a lie like that.
I bet you were planning to run off...
after giving me the deposit from the get-go.
No, not at all.
I told you it'd take me a while to get the rest.
Then why did you go AWOL on me?
I had a bit of a situation,
which is why I already asked a friend of mine for help.
I don't care to know what you're going through.
If you keep this up,
I'll make sure you get fired as a professor,
and your husband will be disbarred too!
Ms. Ma, this is between you and me.
Don't you dare use Kang Rim or his family...
to threaten me again.
I will give you the money from the apartment in full.
How can I trust you?
Give me the money now.
I will leave if you give me the money.
I will disappear for good!
Okay, I heard you. Please leave, okay?
- Hurry. - Let go!
What are you doing? Let go!
What are you doing?
Kang Rim.
Sun Hae, are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'm okay.
In any case, let's talk another time.
Kang Rim! Let her leave.
Then she'll come back and harass you again.
Let's just report her to the police.
For trespassing, assault, and blackmailing.
Kang Rim, she has no choice but to do this.
And this is something...
I have to go through in my father's stead.
Why should you put up with this?
Then what about me?
Should I just sit back and watch?
Just let this one go.
If she does this again, I won't let it slide either.
So please, Kang Rim.
Kang Rim.
I shouldn't leave you alone from now on.
This is not good.
That was scary.
Why did that attorney have to show up right at that moment?
At this rate, they'll find out that Seul A's dad was the swindler.
We must leave today.
Seul A can never find out about this.
Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Why should I? I'm totally fine.
Anyway, why did you want to meet today?
Sun Hae, was your father originally from Busan?
No. My dad was born in Seoul.
He lived in Seoul all his life.
Then he probably never had a Busan accent.
No, he never spoke with an accent.
What about your relatives?
No one.
My mom's side of the family too. They're all Seoul natives.
Why do you ask?
There's a chance that it wasn't your father.
What?
What do you mean?
I don't know anything for certain yet.
I'll tell you when I know more.
So give me some time.
Kang Rim.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Seul A's phone is off. Where is she?
Is she with Dong Ha?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
This is crazy.
Why are their phones off?
Yes, Father.
Really?
This evening?
Okay, of course.
Thank you so much, Father.
Hey, Cho Hee.
This evening?
Okay. Then I'll pick you up.
All right.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
She's not home yet and is not even picking up.
What is going on?
Hello?
Ms. Ma.
I got a call from someone who was investigating the case.
They want to meet me.
What?
So I'm meeting them later.
No! Don't meet them!
You have no interest in getting the media involved.
These people are also one of the victims' families,
and they're willing to get the media involved.
Oh, one of them is an attorney.
An attorney?
In any case, I think they'll be more helpful than you've been.
I'm giving you the heads-up...
about meeting another family because I didn't want to be rude.
Anyway, I have to go.
Wait!
Hold on. Meet me first!
(Sisters Side Dish)
Mom!
Is there anything I can help you with?
No, not really.
I didn't see you all day.
What were you doing?
What do you think? I've been studying all day.
I only left my desk to use the bathroom.
Really? I'm proud of you.
What's gotten into you that you're studying so hard now?
What do you mean?
You know that I've been studying for the GED.
I know, but you seem a little different today.
The thing is...
I have a clear goal now.
What goal?
I want to be a person someone deserves.
You mean, Mr. Yang?
Stop interrogating me, Auntie Poong Geum.
Mom, when will you go back to the hospital for your blood work?
There's no need. I'm totally fine now.
Oh, that's right. You have to go back to the hospital.
Gosh, don't worry.
Let's tidy up.
It's time to close.
Tidy up already.
Okay.
Wait! Hold on.
Ms. Ma, what are you doing?
Do not meet them today.
Let go.
You didn't keep your promise about telling the story to the media.
So I need to do this on my own now.
You can't!
Ms. Ma.
- I suddenly can't... - What's wrong?
Ms. Ma!
I'm nervous that...
we're meeting this person.
Me too.
Let's go in.
Are you all right?
This is not good. I'll call an ambulance.
Don't.
I'll go to my doctor.
Just get me a taxi.
Are you sure you'll be okay in a taxi?
Yes, please get me a taxi.
Okay, this way.
(The All-Round Wife)
Ms. Ma Gab Soon.
Ms. Ma.
Let's go.
- Hurry! - She ran away...
because she knew we'd be meeting him.
Let's meet her and find out.
- Attorney Seo. - We need to meet your mother.
Can you call her?
Hey, where are you?
Ms. Ma Gab Soon, where are you now?
