(Episode 32)
Gosh, I'm tired.
Seok Gu, did you go somewhere?
Yes, I visited Nam Gu at his school.
Darn. I wish Dad had left some money for us.
I know, right?
He lost all his assets before he died.
He didn't have to go through any hardship.
Do you think about Dad often?
Yes, I think about him often.
And I always come to the conclusion that I should've divorced him.
I should've left him...
after getting a chunk of money while he had money.
Come on. I thought you'd never say that ridiculous thing again.
Am I wrong?
If I had done that, I would've helped Ri An...
move to Gangnam,
so she would no longer be looked down on by other kids.
She would be going to a school in Gangnam too.
True. She would never have moved to Myeongjin-dong to begin with.
That's exactly my point.
All things considered, your dad was such a coward...
and an irresponsible man.
He put us through such hard times before he died. Gosh.
Don't say that. You still keep this photo in your room.
I'm keeping it because I hate him.
So I won't forget what the man who ruined my life looked like.
Mom, please. Don't hate Dad so much.
I should have known what kind of man he was...
when I was pregnant with your brother.
Your dad kept delaying our wedding...
until I was almost due not to get married.
It was not until my belly got so big that I couldn't hide it...
that he booked a venue for our wedding.
Stop it. I don't want to hear it anymore.
It's pointless to bad-mouth him now. That won't pay our bills.
Listen. I've been looked down on by Cho Hee...
because of your dad.
If I had wealth after he died,
she wouldn't belittle me.
She would bend over backward for me.
Come on. What makes you think she looks down on you?
And Mom, I see how hard she's working for her family.
My goodness. I can't believe you.
How could you side with her?
Gosh, let's drop this. I'm neutral on this matter.
I'll go and wash up.
Oh, right. Mom, I'm a little hungry.
Cook some ramyeon for me, okay?
You bad man.
We searched every corner in the office but couldn't find it.
We can think that it's not in here.
Where on earth is it?
I'm sure that someone stole it.
We should report to the police before it's too late.
Just be quiet. You're only distracting me.
What are we going to do now, Ms. Seo?
Eui Kyung, don't worry too much.
How can I not worry?
It's a diamond ring that is missing.
Those who knew the safe passcode will be held responsible.
They'll be key suspects as well in the police investigation.
Ro Mi, why would you say something so terrifying?
But it's true.
The three of us didn't even have access to the safe.
That's enough. All right?
I think we should let the higher-ups know now.
If it was actually stolen,
we need to check CCTV footage to catch the thief.
Let's try to sort this out without telling anyone else for now.
If we could find the ring, we'll be okay, right?
Eui Kyung.
What? You came to the staff lounge with that ring on your finger?
Yes, I did. I was hungry. I put it on the table...
while I was making a sandwich.
But I don't remember anything after that.
This is crazy.
Why didn't you tell me that sooner?
I'm sorry, Ms. Seo.
Try to remember what you did one more time.
If you took it off in this room,
I'm sure it's still somewhere in here.
Gosh, seriously.
If we can't find it,
what will happen to me, Ms. Seo?
What?
I'm not going to get fired, right?
If I lose my job,
how could I pay the intermediate payment for the apartment?
I can't afford to lose my job, Ms. Seo.
Please help me. I'm begging you.
Calm down, Eui Kyung. Nothing has been decided.
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Yang is in our office.
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Yang came? Why?
I don't know.
- Hello, you're here. - Hello.
I have to return the ring to Elegance today.
I'm here to pick it up.
Actually... Mr. Yang.
Yes?
The thing is...
What? The ring is missing?
Ms. Seo, this is absolutely absurd.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ko.
Why are you apologizing?
She's the one who caused trouble.
I have nothing to say.
I'll take responsibility.
You'll take responsibility? How?
Mr. Ko.
How about I talk to Elegance to buy us some time?
Meanwhile, Ms. Seo and her team will look for the ring.
Thank you, Mr. Yang. We'll make sure to find it.
If Elegance finds out about this,
you will have to take full responsibility.
Including the compensation for damages.
I'm sorry.
How much is a top-quality, three-carat diamond ring?
I don't know exactly, but it must be between 80,000 and 100,000 dollars.
My gosh. Is it that expensive?
What if we can't find the ring?
Our company will compensate Elegance first,
and then demand the employee who's responsible for the indemnity.
But 100,000 dollars is too much. How can anyone pay that?
If she doesn't have enough money,
she can resign and use her severance pay to pay it.
Oh, gosh. That sounds awful.
By the way, what do you think, Eui Kyung?
You knew the passcode to the safe as well.
Pardon?
Besides, you were the last one to leave the office yesterday.
So I think that you also have an ethical responsibility.
You can consider selling the right to buy a unit of Rich High...
and use the money to compensate for the loss.
Ms. Seo, what did Mr. Ko say?
What do you think he said?
We just have to keep looking until we find it.
But we searched everywhere.
I heard that Team One has lost a diamond ring.
What? Team One lost a diamond ring?
Quiet down, please.
Yes, it's true.
They borrowed the ring from Elegance for the project,
and kept it in the safe in their office, but it disappeared.
I see what happened. Someone must've stolen it.
No way. Who would've stolen it?
You said it had been in the safe.
Obviously, it was a safecracker...
or someone who knew the passcode to the safe.
Well, you have a point.
Anyway, they haven't reported to the police yet...
and keep it a secret.
Really?
What if things get even worse?
They should've called the police right away.
Exactly. You should call the police when a crime occurs.
And if you see a North Korean spy, report to NIS or the police.
Call the rescue center for a natural disaster or an emergency.
Call KCDC to report an infectious disease or to get information.
Oh, that. I knew that too. Didn't I just say that?
As if. You're lying.
- No, I'm telling you the truth. - You little...
- Stop. - It's true.
(Hanbit Villa)
If Elegance finds out about this,
you will have to take full responsibility.
Including the compensation for damages.
Goodness gracious.
Oh, Mother.
You never broke a plate while doing the dishes.
I'm sorry.
Clean that up thoroughly. Or you might get hurt.
Ri An comes to the kitchen too.
Of course.
Are you here to get something in the fridge?
Yes. I'm thirsty. I think I ate too much salty food.
Oh, I see. Then why don't you drink some barley tea?
I just made it.
I'll bring it to you.
Here you go. I'll give you a glass too.
Here. Please have some.
By the way, are you worried about something?
Is it because of Ri An?
No, I'm not worried about anything.
Leave it. I'll finish doing the dishes later.
That's okay. Please go back and rest up.
Why can't you fall asleep? Is everything okay?
It's nothing. Go to sleep.
But you look quite troubled. I can tell.
Tell me. What's the matter?
You're in trouble, aren't you?
I'm your husband, Cho Hee.
Actually,
we borrowed a ring to prepare for a presentation,
and we lost it.
A ring? What kind?
A diamond ring.
So? How much is it worth?
It has a top-quality, three-carat diamond on it.
It's worth between 80,000 and 100,000 dollars.
Between 80,000 and 100,000 dollars?
What kind of ring is worth that much? That's nonsense.
Anyway, it happened while our team was keeping it.
If we can't find it, I'll have to pay the compensation.
I don't know what to do.
I'm so upset.
Don't be too upset. Don't worry.
You'll find it. I'm sure of it.
Right. We should find it.
We really have to find it.
Right. You will. Don't worry.
My love, beautiful Poong Geum.
I feel lonely sometimes since I have no parents.
(My love, beautiful Poong Geum.)
(I feel lonely sometimes since I have no parents.)
Chris, I don't have any parents either.
So I feel lonely sometimes...
(I want to see your face. Can we talk on a video call?)
What? He wants to talk to me on a video call.
Oh, no. I didn't put on makeup properly.
(I don't have any parents either. So I feel lonely sometimes...)
I can't do that right now. Let's do it some other time.
(I can't do that right now. Let's do it some other time.)
Poong Geum, I want to see your face...
and hear your voice.
My, that was unexpected.
My dear Chris sounds so aggressive.
He's a tough guy.
I like him so much.
What are you doing? I told you to get food containers ready.
Gosh. You startled me.
I got startled to death.
Auntie Poong Geum, why are you so surprised?
I'm not surprised at all.
And what were you doing with your phone?
You've been giggling while looking at it for a while.
Was I giggling?
Well, that's because the weather is nice,
and I'm in a good mood.
You said we should put the food in food containers, right?
Wait here. I'll go and bring food containers...
like a brave woman.
Mom, I've finished what you told me to do. I can step out now, right?
Where must you go this time, you jobless girl?
Mom, don't call me a jobless girl.
What else would you call yourself?
I'm a future world star, the next BLACKPINK.
Come to your senses already, will you?
It hurts.
Go upstairs and put the laundry in the washing machine.
You never help me with house chores.
You never make Kang Rim do it. Then why must I do it?
If you think it's unfair, get a job and pitch in for living expenses.
Fine. I'll make money like he does. Happy now?
(Sisters Side Dish)
Why won't Ms. Gong pick up?
Her class must've been over. It's about time for her to come out.
Oh, Ms. Gong's friend is coming out.
(College of Medicine, Graduate School of Public Health)
Her friend came out.
Then why didn't Ms. Gong come out?
Mr. Bang, I want you to stop contacting me personally.
And I will block your number.
What... She'll block my number?
But why?
Seul A.
Where have you been? And why couldn't I reach you?
I'm working now.
Don't interrupt me.
I'm sick of hearing about your work.
Does money matter so much to you?
Yes.
Money means everything to me.
It's the most important thing in my life.
So get lost.
Seul A, what's the matter, really?
Move.
Seul A.
Here. Drink up.
No. It's so bitter. It tastes really weird.
Stop it. You don't take medicine to enjoy the flavor.
But Mom, I really don't want to drink this.
You have to get better grades to get into the contest prep class.
So stop whining and drink it.
This herbal medicine will help you focus on studying, okay?
Seriously.
If you don't drink this,
I'll take your phone away.
What do you say? Will you still refuse to drink it?
All right, Mom. I'll drink it.
Good. Drink up.
Here. That's good. Drink up.
Drink every last drop. Good girl. Keep going.
Yes. Great.
Good.
- There. - Oh, my.
It's from Ri An.
- Hi, Ri An. - Ri An?
What? Mom.
Ri An, why do you keep calling Sa Rang?
Don't call her again, okay?
Drink the rest. Come on.
Mom.
Don't hang with Ri An again.
You'll be left out too if you keep playing with her.
I'm already being left out.
Because my grades are bad.
What?
No one at the academy wants to play with me...
except for Ri An.
Then how could you do that to my only friend?
Your friend?
If you get into the contest prep class,
the kids in that class will be your friends.
You don't know anything.
What's with her?
Finish your homework. I'll check later.
By the way, who dares to bully my daughter?
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Sa Rang, did you finish your homework?
What?
Where did she go?
Sa Rang.
Sa Rang, are you in the bathroom?
That's weird. Where on earth did she go?
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What... Why won't she pick up?
Oh, dear. What do I do?
Hold on.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Why won't Hyung Do pick up either?
My gosh. Where did she go?
She was in her room until just now.
Oh, no. I hope nothing bad happened to her.
So you came here to see Ri An?
And you came by yourself at such a late hour?
Yes.
- Sa Rang. - Ri An.
It feels great since I haven't gone number two for a while.
Hey.
Mr. Kang. Hello.
Hey, kid, what brings you here?
I came here to see Ri An.
- By yourself? - Yes.
Mom, can I play in my room with Sa Rang?
Yes. Sure.
- Let's go, Sa Rang. - Okay.
Aren't they just adorable, Cho Hee?
Well... Honey.
What are you waiting for? Call her mother right now.
Oh, right. I'll do that.
Ready, get set, and go.
Let's start the game, say a country name
Ri An goes first, in 1, 2, 3, 4
Here we go, South Korea
Here we go, the Philippines
Here we go, Japan
Here we go, America
Here we go, China
Here we go, Italy
Stop. Hold on a second. Sa Rang, you know Italy too?
Of course. My mom and dad took me on a trip to Italy last year.
Oh, my. You went to Italy?
My family goes on a trip overseas during my school break.
I'm jealous.
I have never traveled by plane.
Don't worry. You'll get to travel by plane until you get tired.
Really?
Of course. Believe me.
By the way, Sa Rang, what does your father do?
I don't know exactly,
but I heard that he ran a real estate business.
Oh, I see. A real estate business?
Let's start the game, say a country name
Hey, Won Ju, it's me.
Your daughter is at my house right now.
What? Sa Rang is there?
My gosh. I'm speechless. Hey, give me your address now.
Okay. I'll wait.
Come quickly and pick her up.
So, is the girl in Ri An's room your friend's daughter?
She's not exactly a friend.
We went to the same high school.
That's the same thing.
Anyway, the kids became friends at the academy.
And when Ri An was being bullied,
she helped Ri An out a lot.
Did she?
Then why do you look so upset, Cho Hee?
You should be grateful since your friend's child helped yours out.
Well...
Sa Rang's mother and I had some issues. It's complicated.
Why do you make everything so complicated?
You see Vietnam here, right?
You see, I made a business a big success here too.
Oh, my. You're so cool.
He works in foreign countries most of the time.
Then you must be fluent in English.
English? Of course.
In order to do business in a foreign country,
English fluency is a must.
Hey, Cho Hee.
As you can see, I'm playing with the kids.
I have something to tell the kids.
Can you leave us alone, please?
Oh, is it something you don't want me to hear?
Yes.
Okay. Sa Rang.
- See you in a bit. - Yes, Mr. Kang.
Sa Rang, your mother will be here shortly.
My mom will be here?
Oh, I'm in trouble.
I understand that you wanted to see Ri An.
But it's too dangerous for you to come here alone at a late hour.
Ri An, the same goes for you.
You should've stopped her from coming all the way here.
Why did you give her the address?
I'm sorry.
Ri An didn't do anything wrong.
I came to see her without letting her know.
My mom told me to stop playing with Ri An.
What?
What does that mean?
I'm sorry about that, Ri An.
All right. I understand.
I'll talk to your mother, so she can change her mind.
One more thing. From now on, when you want to see Ri An,
ask your mother to give you a ride to our house.
Okay?
Yes, Ms. Seo.
My gosh. She's been living here...
without anyone knowing?
Wait. This is it, right?
(The All-Round Wife)
Auntie Poong Geum has been acting strange lately.
What are you doing there? Aren't you going to bed?
Oh, my. Jang Geum.
I don't want to go home.
- You'll stay at this shabby house? - Excuse me.
- No Won Ju. - Why?
Everyone is saying that Team One is in a big crisis.
Disciplinary action because of a mere ring?
I can't let this one slide.
