(Episode 23)
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
- I'm back. - Hey, good work.
You can get going if you're done.
What about you? You're not going home?
I have to finish ironing this.
I've told them multiple times that this fabric wrinkles easily,
but it fell on deaf ears. My goodness.
I'll get going, then. I'll see you tomorrow.
All right. Get home safely.
Will do.
All right, here we go
I'm telling you. I'm sure of it.
You know me.
I wouldn't be telling you this if I wasn't 100 percent sure.
Yes. The copper mine in Bolivia I told you about.
I have some shares in it.
Come on. Don't you know what copper is?
It's an essential metal.
Listen, Mr. Hong. Invest in this. The price will skyrocket very soon.
Excuse me.
Just invest 30,000 dollars for now, okay?
I'm telling you. Everyone wants first dibs.
Excuse me.
And you have to thank me for calling you first.
Darn it. Forget it, if you're that scared!
Excuse me!
Hey, I'll call you back.
This lanky guy behind me is getting on my nerves.
Darn, business isn't going well.
What's your deal?
You cut in line.
What?
I got here first. Can't you see?
No, I was here first. You cut in line.
Nonsense. What are you talking about?
I didn't even see you.
Maybe you didn't see me because you were on the phone.
Stand behind me because I was here first.
This jerk...
What?
Hey, you. You are the lawyer who destroyed my life, aren't you?
Sorry?
Don't you remember me? I'm Kang Seok Gu!
I don't remember you.
Are you putting on an act now?
Well, I'll help you retrieve your memories.
Follow me, you lanky jerk.
What are you doing? Let go.
Do you seriously think I'll do as you say?
Then I wouldn't have grabbed you to begin with.
- And you. - Yes.
You'd better not call the cops.
Okay.
Come with me. Follow me, you jerk!
Let go at once.
If not, you'll either be sentenced to jail for up to two years...
or face a fine of up to 5,000 dollars for assault...
Shut it.
And insult charges...
Then what? I'll go to jail?
Sure, I'll go...
and experience what it's like.
I have nothing to lose anyway.
I overheard you say that you have shares in a copper mine.
Gosh, this is crazy.
How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation?
Mr. Kang Seok Gu, your divorce was entirely your fault.
And you destroyed your own life.
So don't ruin your life any further.
That is my advice as a lawyer.
What?
In this case, I am the victim,
but I'll graciously let it go.
You'll let it go?
Who says you can?
What are you looking at?
Mind your own business!
Can you still let it go, Mr. Lawyer?
Professor Seo?
I understand you've hit rock bottom,
but if you do your best...
This isn't good. You need more beatings.
Stop!
Who are you? Are you his daughter?
Or what? His girlfriend?
Goodness. I'm impressed.
But then again, lawyers make a lot of money.
No, you got the wrong idea.
Don't lie to my face. It's so obvious.
Hey, you become a decent person first.
Don't lecture others, you show-off.
Hey, move aside.
I don't care whether you're his daughter or girlfriend. Move.
I don't want to.
Move aside before I lose it.
I won't let you off just because you're a woman.
Jerks like you don't scare me.
What?
You little...
You should never hit women.
So she is your girlfriend.
Then I'll hit you instead.
Hey, missy. You said you wouldn't be scared!
What's she doing?
What a lunatic.
What's with all this commotion?
What?
Calm down, honey.
Hey, it's your lucky day.
Run! There's a thug here!
Hey! We'll catch you even if you run away!
There are tons of security cameras in this area!
Professor Seo, are you all right?
Hello.
The X-ray looks okay.
Don't I also need a CT or MRI scan?
I really felt the impact when I was punched.
Well...
We'd run additional tests if we found a problem.
But fortunately, everything looks okay.
Would you like a medical certificate?
How long will it take for him to recover?
About two weeks.
Two weeks?
That's it? He's badly hurt.
I think it'll take at least four weeks.
So would you like a medical certificate or not?
We'll get one.
We have to sue that jerk.
Then give me a minute.
There are security cameras in and outside the convenience store,
so we'll catch him soon.
I know we'll catch him but...
What's the problem? You won't press charges?
(Emergency Medical Center)
- Did you look in the mirror? - What?
Your face. You look awful now.
Do I?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
No worries. I would've stepped in even if it had been someone else.
Jerks like him should be banished from society.
Should I accompany you to the police station?
You'll need a witness anyway.
Right. Maybe later. Let me think about this first.
But you already got the medical certificate.
This is so unlike you.
What am I normally like?
Well...
When someone breaks the rules,
you chase them until you can punish them.
I'll get going if you're not headed to the police station now.
Okay, get home safely.
You get home safely.
I'm off.
And maybe you should learn to fight...
instead of reading books all the time.
What?
A man who can't even fight back when someone's beating him up...
looks like a total loser.
Bye.
(Emergency Medical Center)
Goodness.
(Sisters Side Dish)
You remember this place, right?
(Sisters Side Dish)
Dad, are we going to stay over at Grandma's place tonight?
Yes. Your grandma isn't feeling well,
so we'll stay here for a few days with your mom.
I see.
I'm excited. I'm so happy.
Really? My gosh.
Hey, Ri An.
Mom!
What are you doing here? You didn't even call.
Well, I didn't get to see Mother yesterday.
And I wanted to drop off some things you'd need.
Let's go inside. Come on, Ri An.
Oh my, it's heavy. Let's go.
Let's go, Ri An. Come on.
Watch the steps.
My gosh.
I had vowed in front of you to protect Cho Hee no matter what.
I'm really sorry, Mother. Please forgive me.
You don't need to apologize to me.
We both got the wrong idea.
Please speak with your mother and be sure...
to clear up the misunderstanding.
Don't worry.
I'll definitely take care of that.
You should go home.
No. I'm going to sleep here tonight.
Mother, I can sleep here, right?
Don't do this, Nam Gu.
Take Cho Hee and go home.
Me too?
Yes, you too.
Please, let us sleep here tonight. Just tonight, okay?
They're really not coming home?
How did my family end up like this?
Yes. It's because of that talisman.
Because of that darned talisman,
my sweet son is now possessed by an evil spirit.
I have a lot of stuff, right?
That's an understatement.
You look like you're moving to a different country.
I need a lot of things for my daily routine.
Right. Can you empty out a section of your closet?
I want to hang my clothes.
You said you'd only stay for a few days.
Still. And I'm your best friend.
She's here again.
It's my aunt.
Pa Ran, Nam Gu is...
Oh, your friend is here again.
Hello.
Are you going away on a trip?
No, I'll be staying here for a little while.
I see.
What's the matter now?
Professor Kang packed up his things...
and went over to his in-laws' place with Ri An.
What should we do?
I guess it was all part of Cho Hee's plan.
What plan?
I bet she wants to take Nam Gu and move back in with her mother.
Gosh, my head suddenly hurts.
He must really love his wife.
People say that it's usually the husband...
that demands a divorce when the wife cheats.
If we can't drag him back here...
Looks like you should back down, Auntie.
Why should I?
Right. Then you'd have to walk on eggshells around her forever.
This is such a tricky situation. Right, Auntie?
Honey, where is Bo Ri?
She's going to sleep in Mom's room.
Gosh, I feel bad. We stole her room.
You feel bad? Why are you even here?
You and Ri An can take the bed. I'll sleep on the floor.
All right.
Tell me the truth. Why are you here?
Honey.
I just wanted to get out of the house.
I can't talk to my mom.
You kill me. You can't pack up and leave like this!
Whatever. We'll figure something out.
You doing this...
will only make things worse for me and Mother.
I won't go home without you.
Never.
Please, honey.
Unbelievable!
Mom, do I sleep beside you today?
Yes, Ri An. You and Mom can sleep in the bed.
I'm so excited!
My princess, are you that excited?
Yes, Dad.
See? She's happy.
I'll sleep right beside you tonight.
(Follow Safety Rules When Using Electric Scooters on Campus)
Hello?
It's me. I know we said...
we'd go to Professor Hong's retirement ceremony together,
but I don't think I can go with you.
Are you blowing me off?
No, it's not that. I have a bit of a situation.
Don't ask me why. I have to go.
What now? What's with him?
What about today's lecture though?
Kang Rim!
Hey, I told you not to barge into my room like this.
I have to go to the recording studio now.
Lend me some money for a taxi ride.
Hey, am I your bank?
Come on.
Hold on. What's with you today?
What?
Hold on. Let me see.
- Hey. - Come on.
Gosh, seriously.
My gosh. What happened to your face?
Did you fight with someone?
Yes, well...
Don't tell Mom. I don't want her to worry.
Well...
Then give me 50 dollars.
Darn it.
Here.
Thanks.
It's zipped up. Get well soon, Kang Rim.
Gosh, she really is the bane of my existence.
Can I give the lecture like this?
Hold on. It keeps fogging up.
Darn it.
(Gross Negligence, Criminal Law)
Did something happen to him?
He's never late.
Even Pool Ball, who is always late, is here now.
Will the lecture be canceled?
My gosh.
Today, we'll watch a legal film together...
instead of a lecture.
I think he has bruises on his face.
Did he trip and fall?
Or maybe someone punched him.
Hey, watch what you say.
What?
Clearly, Professor Seo wouldn't let anyone punch him.
If he indeed got into a fight,
I bet he only fought to teach some bad guys a lesson.
He must've fought alone against at least ten men.
All right. Please be quiet and watch the film.
And I'll check attendance after the movie ends,
so please stay until the end.
Anyone who falls asleep will get a penalty point.
Ms. Seo, we got the 34 project.
You know that this is all thanks to you, right?
I really miss you.
- Professor Seo. - I'm sorry.
I didn't see you because of my sunglasses.
Don't worry. It's okay.
- See you. - Bye.
Excuse me!
What?
That man...
Isn't he the jerk from yesterday?
(Bolivian Copper Mine, Progress Report)
A copper mine in Bolivia?
That's right.
Look at this.
This is a Bolivian newspaper.
You see, copper is the new oil.
The copper war has begun.
- Really? - Yes.
Those who caught the whiff of money have already invested in this.
We must get on the bandwagon while we still can.
Are you sure about this?
Yes, of course. I'm a businessman now.
Forget the clumsy Kang Seok Gu. I'm a changed man.
All right. How much do you need for this?
Well, I'd say 30,000 dollars to start.
It'll become 300,000 dollars in just half a year.
Whether it's 30,000 or 300,000, I don't have that kind of money.
Hey, who invests their savings these days?
Just take out a loan.
You need to move back to Gangnam with your family and Mom, right?
(Professor Kang Nam Gu)
Hey, Mr. Hwang.
You have enough investors now? You just need one more?
Okay, I see. Save that spot for me.
I'll call you right back. Okay.
You heard that, right?
Yes.
What should I do?
Do any of your fellow professors have money to invest in this?
This is too good of an opportunity to pass up.
Well, I do have one person in mind.
You do? Then introduce me to that person at once.
I'll give you a commission for introducing me to this person.
Come on. There's no reason to hesitate.
Okay, let's go ask.
- Let's go. - Okay.
You lead the way.
Kang Rim.
It looks really bad, doesn't it?
Is this why you said you couldn't go to the retirement ceremony with me?
That's right. How can I go there, looking like this?
Although I couldn't cancel my lecture today.
My gosh.
Anyway, I came here to show you this...
because I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.
My gosh, I'm so touched.
And you waited for me to tell me this.
But then again, I wouldn't really want my partner to be there...
with his beaten-up face.
Right?
But how did this happen?
Did you run into some thugs?
No, my former client's ex-husband.
He said I destroyed his life...
and punched me.
So he assaulted you because of his personal grudge?
Well, you could say that.
I was going to press charges right away, but I'm torn now.
You're here.
Professor Kang.
- Hi. - Sorry.
- You're here too, Kang Rim. - Yes.
Hey, what happened to your face?
Well, this is...
I had a little mishap.
He ran into some thugs.
Seriously? You need to be careful at all times.
They say Korea is very safe,
but you should always be careful of thugs and hoodlums.
They're like cockroaches.
You never know when they'll show up.
Right.
What brings you by?
Don't you have a lecture?
There is a great investment opportunity.
Are you interested in foreign investments?
Foreign investments?
If you don't know much, take this as an opportunity to learn.
Seok Gu, come on in. What are you doing?
Someone else is here?
Yes, my brother is here.
His specialty is investing in natural resource equities.
I wanted you to meet him.
Come on in, Seok Gu. Where are you?
Where were you?
Sorry, Nam Gu. I had to use the restroom.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kang Seok Gu.
Hello.
My gosh, it's so nice to meet you.
Likewise. Sorry, but it hurts.
Gosh, my apologies.
I've lived abroad for many years, so I can be a little rough at times.
I see.
Don't be silly.
This is... You may not remember him,
but you met him at my wedding. He is Cho Hee's little brother.
Kang Rim is a lawyer, and he also teaches here.
Come on. Of course, I remember him.
How could I forget Cho Hee's brother?
And he graduated from the number one law school.
Right?
Does he want to be invisible?
Why is he covering his entire face?
We meet again.
You're...
I am very excited to see you again, brother-in-law.
(The All-Round Wife)
There's another good news. Do you want to give it a shot?
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
Don't you think this is too much?
That jerk...
I went through so much to raise him.
- Is it you, Seok Gu? - Who's giving my mom a hard time?
- Nam Gu, what are you doing here? - Mom.
I won't go home without you.
It's not like something bad will happen...
if she's home alone for a few more days.
Nam Gu, we have a problem.
What?
