(Episode 38)
What? Why did it stop?
Is it broken?
What's going on?
Gosh. What is the matter?
Hello? Is anyone there?
We're trapped in the elevator.
Mr. Yang, I think the elevator is broken.
What should we do?
Mr. Yang.
Hello? We're trapped in here.
Are you feeling unwell?
Get yourself together.
Mr. Yang!
My gosh. Why is he being like this?
This is crazy.
Help!
Anybody there?
My gosh.
Hello?
We're trapped in the elevator.
Okay, please calm down.
It's dangerous to force open the door, so hunker down and wait.
The rescue team will arrive shortly.
Okay, please hurry.
The rescue team will arrive shortly.
(My little sister)
What's going on?
Cho Hee! Why didn't you pick up?
We have a problem. Auntie Poong Geum is...
What about Auntie Poong Geum?
What happened?
I don't even know.
I'm trapped in the elevator at Cometome.
What?
Anyway, do something.
Your chief director is having a bit of an emergency too.
Anyway, I have to go.
Why is he sweating so much?
I'm...
I'm claustrophobic.
You're claustrophobic?
Gosh, this is bad.
What was she saying?
Why is Bo Ri trapped in the elevator at our company?
And Mr. Yang has an emergency?
Darn it.
First, let's try to take a deep breath.
Breathe.
Yes, good. Take a deep breath.
That's it.
Mr. Yang, they said the rescue team will be here shortly,
so don't worry too much.
Thank you,
Bo Ri.
When I was little,
I cried my eyes out...
whenever my mom went to work...
because I missed my mom.
There's a song Cho Hee sang for me whenever I cried like that.
When mom goes to the sea
To pick oysters
The baby watches the house
All alone
Hearing the lullaby
Sung by the waves
The baby falls asleep
On his arm
Thank you.
Do you feel a bit better now?
Hello?
Are you okay?
Yes! Please hurry and get us out.
See? I told you they'd be here shortly.
(Let's Take Cometome Global)
Thank goodness they're okay.
Bo Ri! Are you all right?
Cho Hee!
Mr. Yang.
Are you okay, Mr. Yang?
Yes, I'm okay now.
Thanks to your sister.
Bo Ri?
Yes.
Thank you so much again.
What can I do to repay you for this?
You can repay me later.
Just focus on taking good care of yourself.
Cho Hee, we have a big problem.
I think Auntie Poong Geum fell for a scam.
What? A scam?
Guys, did you hear?
Mr. Yang was trapped in the elevator.
They just got him out.
Mr. Yang was the one who was trapped in there?
Yes! Apparently, he's claustrophobic.
When he got out, he looked as if he was about to pass out.
So? What happened?
They took him to the hospital in an ambulance.
Then where is Ms. Seo?
What about Ms. Seo?
She's not at her desk.
I was wondering if she was trapped in there with him.
Gosh, come on.
She'd even dig a passage through a stone wall.
She'd never be trapped in an elevator.
- Ms. Seo. - My gosh.
I have to leave early today. That's okay, right?
- Yes. - Yes.
Thanks, guys.
- Bye. - Bye.
Is she going to the hospital to see Mr. Yang?
- Ro Mi! - Ro Mi!
Sorry.
You guys don't even let me say a word.
You should've called to tell me that you were dropping by.
Your line was busy, so I just stopped by.
Was it?
Are you not feeling well? You look a little pale.
What? No, I'm okay.
I guess I've been working too hard to prepare my paper.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
You're not feeling well.
Do you really have to go to the reunion?
I'm worried about Kyung Ho.
Kyung Ho? Why are you worried about him?
To tell you the truth, the one I'm worried about is Seul A.
I saw Kyung Ho a few days ago,
but I got a bad feeling as if he'd cause trouble.
You're too nosy for your own good. Worry about yourself first.
If I just ignore it, it'll bother me.
My gosh, is that the time? I should get going.
Look after your health first.
You have no one to look after you when you fall ill.
What are you talking about? I have you and Cho Hee.
Whatever.
I'm off.
Get some rest.
The person you have reached is unavailable. Leave a message...
Ju A didn't come to school, and she's not even picking up.
What's going on with her?
Right, I wouldn't be able to go to school either if I were her.
What are you talking about? Why can't your friend go to school?
Something big happened.
What happened?
She was utterly humiliated at school...
Well, never mind.
Just some stuff happened.
How was she humiliated that she can't even go to school?
You don't need to know.
What happened?
I'm more curious now because you're being secretive.
Gosh, it's nothing.
It has nothing to do with me anyway.
Looks like it has something to do with you.
No, never!
You're heartless.
You can't reach your friend.
You two used to hang out every day. And you don't care?
We didn't hang out every day.
Besides, Ju A and I are very different.
Okay, fine. Why are you yelling at me?
Whatever.
Auntie, why are you lounging around at my place?
Hey, don't treat me like a stranger.
Can you not drop chip crumbs everywhere?
Go home already.
Hey.
I came here because I was worried you'd be bored alone.
I am not bored,
so just go home.
Go on!
Fine.
I will never visit you again.
Bo Ri, are you saying you've been observing the situation...
without telling us?
I couldn't tell you because Auntie Poong Geum...
kept saying that I must keep it to myself.
Gosh. I've heard of romance scams, but I never thought...
someone in my family would fall victim to it.
What should we do, Kang Rim?
I think she sent him all the money she had saved up.
We need to report this to the police first,
but the victim doesn't want to.
So it won't be easy.
Bo Ri, do you know how much she sent him?
About 50,000 dollars in total.
What? 50,000 dollars?
That's almost 60 million won.
I tried my best to stop her,
although it was useless.
Bo Ri, why are you telling us now?
I don't know! Auntie Poong Geum wasn't in her right mind.
She was acting like a totally different person.
Gosh, what do the romance scammers even do?
I can't believe she fell for such a scam.
She let her judgment become clouded at that moment.
That's right. She's been so lonely,
which is why it was easy for her to fall for such temptation.
That's true.
What did I tell you?
This is why you must let yourself...
passionately fall in love once in a while.
Like me.
Goodness.
Don't you think you let it happen too often?
Hey!
Anyway, it helps you become immune...
to awful scams like this,
and the scammers won't target you.
In that sense, you must be very careful too, Kang Rim.
Me? Why?
You're lonely. You've been single for a very long time, right?
Which means, you're very vulnerable...
to scams like this as well.
Be quiet. Stop talking nonsense.
That hurt, Mom!
Still, this is insane.
We're not talking about a few thousand dollars here.
I'm telling you, Cho Hee.
Auntie Poong Geum was not in her right mind.
I thought she had lost her mind.
She acted as though she was possessed by a ghost or something.
That's enough. Your aunt will hear everything in her room.
Yes, I've lost my mind.
- Auntie Poong Geum. - Poong Geum.
I'm going crazy because I'm so worried about Chris.
See? She still doesn't get it.
Auntie Poong Geum, this is a scam. Do you still not see it?
No!
Something must've happened to him!
Maybe he missed his flight for some reason,
or something bad happened to him.
Poong Geum, why are you being like this?
Jang Geum, what if Chris is dead?
What do I do if he's dead?
He even deleted his social media account.
He can't do that if he's dead.
What?
He deliberately approached you to scam you.
So let's report it to the police before it gets too late, okay?
No.
Chris would never do that to me.
Oh, dear. What do we do about Auntie Poong Geum?
She's been scammed and is losing her mind now.
Poong Geum.
Jang Geum, do you think that too?
That I've been scammed?
Yes.
Jang Geum!
Chris?
Police station?
You'd like to interview me as a witness?
Why?
They want to interview her as a witness, Mom.
Kang Rim.
(Traffic Services)
(Civil Complaints)
Ms. Oh Poong Geum is here for her witness interview.
For the romance scam case, right?
Detective Park, Ms. Oh Poong Geum is here.
Ms. Oh Poong Geum?
Yes.
This way, please.
Hello.
I'm Oh Poong Geum.
Why did you ask me to come in?
Do you know Chris? The man who says he's a UN medical officer.
Yes.
What happened?
Is Chris okay? Is he all right?
Yes. We brought him here safe and sound.
Hey, Chris.
Chris?
Good to see you, my love Poong Geum.
Chris...
No, he's not Chris...
My gosh!
Poong Geum!
(Fair Police)
Thank goodness you got your money back.
Otherwise, I would have killed that moron today.
Thank goodness he didn't use a borrowed-name account.
Had this been done by a scam ring,
you would've lost all your money. It would've been very complicated.
No. Something's gone wrong.
Auntie Poong Geum.
That's enough, Bo Ri. She needs some rest to get herself together.
This is crazy.
I can't believe my aunt was scammed by a moron like him.
I'm so angry. This makes my blood boil!
You should go home, Cho Hee.
I'll take Mom and Auntie Poong Geum home.
Okay, I'm counting on you.
And keep an eye on Bo Ri and Auntie Poong Geum.
They're like little kids. I'm always so worried.
What did I do?
Cho Hee is right. Don't get worked up.
Listen to Kang Rim and go home. Your family must be worried.
Auntie Poong Geum, are you all right?
Don't think about anything. Just go home and get some rest.
You too, Mom.
All right. Get home safely.
See you, Cho Hee.
Bo Ri, I hope we'll have calls only with good news from now on.
Whatever.
Gosh, they're all stained.
What stained them?
Oh, dear. You caused trouble again. Gosh.
Goodness.
I'm home.
Hey, you're back.
Yes.
Oh, you did laundry? Let me hang...
Well, I washed them in the washing machine earlier,
but there must've been some cheap fabric.
All the white clothes got stained.
Seok Gu's cheap jeans must be the culprit.
Did you not separate them by color?
You washed them together?
Why bother washing them separately? That'd be such a waste of water.
My gosh!
What is this?
Ri An's blouse.
Oh, no. She's only worn this twice.
To tell you the truth,
I debated whether or not I should wash it with the rest.
Mother!
Come on, Cho Hee. The color looks great.
Yes. Look, it's not spotty. The whole thing got stained,
so everyone will think this is the original color.
Are you saying Ri An should wear this?
Why not? It's not like it has holes.
She can wear it because it doesn't have holes?
That's right. When I was young,
I had to wear socks with holes multiple times.
Gosh, kids these days are so spoiled.
They're so wasteful.
Mom, please.
Times have changed. You can't expect Ri An to do what you used to do.
Mother, please make sure...
you wash whites separately when you do laundry from now on.
If you wash everything together, the whites will be stained,
and the lint from the whites will stick to the colors.
Okay, I heard you.
I get nagged even when I do the laundry.
Sorry?
Cho Hee, don't be so angry.
I'll buy Ri An a new blouse. We're good now, right?
Seok Gu, you stay out of this.
Cho Hee.
What should I do to be good enough for you?
What more can I do?
Just wash whites and colors separately.
The washing machine does the actual work, not you.
What?
I'll be in my room.
- How dare she... - Mom! That's enough.
She's angry because even Ri An's blouse got stained.
It is pretty bad, you know.
What are you talking about?
This only happened because I was trying to help her!
In any case.
Let go!
This happened because of your jeans.
The video has been deleted, right?
Okay, thank you. I'll check.
Let's see.
Nice, it's been deleted.
I must share this good news with Ms. Gong.
I hope she's doing okay.
Gosh, Sa Rang. Go wash your face.
Mom, I'm so sleepy.
Can I please just go to bed now?
The contest is around the corner. How can you be sleepy now?
Go wash your face. Go!
I really don't want to study.
Enough is enough.
It's not like you studied all night back in school.
Me? Of course, I did.
I studied all night, all the time.
You did what?
Then how come you couldn't get into a college?
That is why I want to make sure my child gets into a good college.
But someone ruined everything.
Thanks to that, I'm all stressed out having to find a new tutor.
I'm sorry. I already apologized.
Seriously! I heard Ri An's clothes got stained because of Mom.
What is wrong with her?
What's so hard about washing them separately?
We'll spend more on clothes instead of saving on water bills.
I really wish she could be more careful.
That way, you wouldn't have to do things twice. Darn it!
Nam Gu.
Yes, Cho Hee. What is it?
Don't go overboard.
I know you're doing this because you're worried...
that I'd keep nagging Mother.
No, why would I think that?
You even work as a driver now, so you must be really tired.
I don't want you to worry about me and Mother.
I'm not angry.
Honey.
You must be exhausted. You should go to bed.
What? What about you?
Oh, I want to call my family.
I see. Have you decided whether or not to accept the offer?
I haven't yet.
Go to bed.
Be back soon, honey.
Driving is not easy.
Hey, Bo Ri.
How's Auntie Poong Geum? She's okay, right?
How could she be okay after experiencing such humiliation?
Thankfully, she got her money back from that ugly jerk,
but this will leave her scarred for a long time.
My gosh.
I'd want to go kill myself if I were in her situation.
Hey, don't say that.
I'm just saying, she must be awfully embarrassed now.
You don't know because you didn't see it.
Do you know how excited she was to meet Chris...
or whatever his name is?
She even bought new clothes.
She waited for him in front of the station all day.
Gosh, it's making my blood boil again!
I know. So stay by her side and take good care of her.
You and Auntie Poong Geum talk about all sorts of things.
All right. Talk to you soon.

(The All-Round Wife)
We have a problem. Auntie Poong Geum is gone!
Do you know where she could be?
She already decided to leave,
- so she'd do anything. - What did you say?
I must say, the timing is awfully perfect.
You need to be objective and smart about it.
It worries me that you're out driving until so late.
I swear, I've met him before.
Do you mind bringing him upstairs?
