(Episode 96)
I was going to make some tea.
But there was really nothing left in this place.
I know.
So?
What are you going to do now?
Why can't you answer me?
I thought you agreed not to go to the US.
And you will never leave my side no matter what happens.
Right?
Yes.
Now, what you have to do...
I mean, what we have to do now is...
to get your things back from the movers...
and put them back where they were,
so we can make things go back to the way they used to be.
Sure. Let's do that.
Oh, I forgot. One more thing.
You should cancel your leave of absence from school.
I'll do that.
What else?
Kang Rim.
Yes? Why?
What are we going to do now?
You know the answer.
We're going to overcome this instead of running away from it.
Just trust me from now on.
All you have to do is trust me, Sun Hae.
- Mom! - My goodness.
Why are you making a fuss first thing in the morning?
Mom, I think that Kang Rim didn't come home last night.
- What? - What did you say?
Kang Rim is not in his room.
Maybe he left early.
No. There's no trace of him having been there last night.
Jang Geum, could he have had drinks and slept at Cho Hee's house again?
Kang Rim, I think your phone is ringing.
Really?
It's my mom.
Answer it.
Yes, Mom.
Kang Rim, did you sleep out last night?
Yes, I did. I couldn't go home...
because I had something important to do.
Then where did you sleep?
Did you sleep at Cho Hee's house?
No.
At Sun Hae's place.
I'm with her right now.
Kang Rim.
What? You're with Sun Hae?
All right, then. I'll see you when you're back.
What was that about? Is Kang Rim with Sun Hae now?
He didn't sleep at Cho Hee's house?
Mom, by any chance...
Did they spend the night together?
It seems so.
My goodness. That's great.
That means they're back together.
That's great news.
Right.
That's what it means, right, Poong Geum?
Goodness, you. Of course, that's what it means.
Gosh. If they were going to get back together,
why did they make us all worry so much?
I know, right?
They had such a raucous lovers' quarrel. Am I right?
Honestly, I'm happy that they're back together,
but when I think about how much I worried about them...
for the past few days,
I get so upset.
I'm going to make sure...
to make Kang Rim feel as distressed as I did.
Don't you dare. What if they end up breaking up again because of you...
when they just got back together?
Bo Ri, just don't do anything. Do you understand?
Well, I might consider it if Kang Rim makes it up to me.
I'm worried...
if they might break up again.
No way. Don't worry. They won't break up again.
I mean, their relationship can't be severed just like that.
She's right. They do have a very strong bond.
Maybe their late fathers watching over them...
felt so sad that they broke up,
and helped them get back together, Jang Geum.
You're right.
What took you so long, Nam Gu?
How can you be so relaxed when you have just started working there?
We still have enough time. What's the matter?
Gosh. You're such a slacker.
You want me to teach you a serious lesson?
What did you say, you punk? Why you little...
I was just joking. Where's Cho Hee?
Oh, no. Did I keep you waiting too long, Seok Gu?
Not at all. I enjoyed waiting for you.
Let's get going, Cho Hee.
I can't believe you. You're discriminating.
Come on. She cooks for me, you know.
Wait. Hold on.
Hi, Kang Rim.
A document?
Oh, that. I have it.
Honey, you and Seok Gu should leave without me.
Okay.
What kind of document are you talking about?
Well...
Mind your own business.
- Come on out. We're off, honey. - But...
Hey, stop pushing me. I'm going.
Yes.
Right. Yes, I found it.
But what do you need this for?
Okay. I'll see you then.
Wait, Kang Rim.
Are you two okay?
Yes, we're fine.
Sun Hae is fine too.
Except it's so cold in here because gas is cut off.
Okay. Then I'll hang up. Bye.
I already checked the document.
It wasn't fabricated.
Right. I'm sure you checked it thoroughly.
But still, I want to see it myself.
But it won't make any difference.
I guess you're right.
But I think you might have...
jumped to a conclusion just based on the document.
We were all too emotional at the time.
True. But I went over the document so many times,
and all the evidence was pointing to my dad.
Sun Hae.
Mr. Choi whom I knew wasn't a man who would do such a thing.
Kang Rim.
So let's do everything we can before deciding to believe it.
Oh, dear. It's killing me.
Mom, does it hurt a lot?
Please don't die, Mom.
Hey, Sa Rang.
Mommy is fine.
I should get up and go to work.
Oh, goodness. I'm so worried. Oh, no.
You can't go to work in this state.
You look bad. I'll call your manager to tell him you can't come in,
so you can take the day off.
No, don't do that. I have to go.
It's only been a few days.
What would Father say if I take the day off?
I bet he'd tell me to quit my job and stay at home.
I should never...
let that happen.
Honey.
(Seo Kang Rim Law Office)
(Information on obtaining a lawyer's license in the US)
"Information on obtaining a lawyer's license in the US?"
Is Attorney Seo planning to move to the US?
(Bangsoo Construction)
Where on earth did Won Ju go this time?
My gosh.
(Bangsoo Construction, CEO Bang Bae Soo)
Yes, Mr. Kim.
Sir.
I have something to report to you regarding the sculpture...
that was going to be placed at the entrance of Noble River Vill.
The sculpture at the entrance?
And?
What?
Artist Baek Jun Ha said he would reconsider signing the contract?
All right. I'll head up to my office right now.
Tell everyone to wait there.
I can't believe this. Darn it.
(Locker Room)
Why did he rush to his office like that?
He seemed to be reviewing this document so carefully.
Could this be his last will and testament?
"Noble River Vill International MOU?"
What's this?
Ms. No Won Ju.
Yes, Mother. I mean, Ms. Na.
What are you doing here instead of doing your work?
I was taking a break.
It's not your break time, is it?
Well... I think you're right, Ms. Na.
I already told you...
that you could get fired...
if you kept slacking off.
Why are you still standing there?
I'm in charge of this area.
Leave immediately and clean your area.
Of course. I should go. I'm leaving, Ms. Na.
Seriously, if you keep slacking off like that,
you could get fired soon.
Why did she get a job as a cleaner anyway?
She should've put trash in the trash can.
Why did she toss it on the floor?
Hey, you're here.
- Is Sun Hae okay? - Yes.
You're aware of what you might...
have to go through, right?
Of course, I am.
Also, I won't give up.
Neither on Sun Hae nor our family.
That's why I'm going to go over that document.
I brought it as I understood your intention.
But getting to the bottom of this...
might put Sun Hae through greater pain. You know that, right?
I know that.
But...
I also know that it's not so hard...
to fabricate a document if you're determined to do so.
So I decided to put my hopes on that possibility.
I, too, desperately hope that this document is fake.
But...
What if it's not?
You also know...
that Mr. Choi would never have done anything like that.
Kang Rim.
I've been doing serious thinking, but I can't believe it.
So I'm going to take this to the end.
All right. I'm counting on you.
Oh, man. How could this happen? It makes no sense.
I clearly remember putting it in this folder.
It's not like it could move itself. Where on earth could it be?
What are you looking for?
I'm looking for a contract. A very important one.
I'll be in big trouble if I lose it.
Why did you leave it here if it was so important?
Exactly. I've never let anything like this happen before.
Anyway, I was gone just for a short while,
and only that document disappeared.
Has any one of you seen it?
I don't know. I haven't come here since I came in this morning.
Hey, I came here with you.
And I haven't come here until now either.
This is my first time coming here too.
Won Ju, we met here earlier.
Well... Did we?
Let's stop thinking and look for it together...
since Father says it's very important to him.
- Right. - Okay.
That's weird. I slid it under the table.
Hold on. Stop what you're doing, everyone.
Why? What is it?
I've figured it out. The culprit is among us.
Hey, it's not time to joke around.
I'm serious, Nam Gu.
If Mr. Bang really left the document in this room,
Yes.
one of those who entered this room...
while he was gone...
must have taken the document.
Right?
Nam Gu, go to your office and check the CCTV footage.
Find out who else came here other than us.
Then we can find the culprit. What do you think?
He has a point.
We can find the culprit if we check the CCTV footage.
Brad.
You see, I think...
Yes, Ms. Na? Please continue.
I think I might've thrown it out...
while cleaning this room.
Oh, no. Ms. Na.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'll go out right now to go through the garbage.
Thank you, Ms. Na. My goodness.
- I'll go with you, Mom. - Me too.
Thanks, guys. Gosh, this darn document.
Won Ju, why are you shivering?
I'm the one whose heart should be pounding right now.
(Recycle your garbage.)
(Restricted Area)
Nam Gu, do you think this is it?
Give me that.
No, I don't think so. It doesn't look like a contract.
Darn. Where on earth is it?
They haven't picked up the garbage yet, so it must be somewhere here.
Search more thoroughly.
It must not be there.
Aren't you here to help them?
Father.
(Business Partnership Agreement)
Nam Gu, I found it. This is it, right?
Let me have a look.
"Noble River Vill Complex International Construction MOU".
Mom, I think this is it.
I'm so relieved.
- You found it? - Yes. Here you go, Mr. Bang.
Come on, Mom. You should check if it's something important...
before you throw things out next time.
You're right. I should check first before throwing things out.
This is it.
I was so worried if I couldn't find it.
Thank you, Ms. Na.
Nonsense. I was the one who threw it out in the first place.
Oh, my.
Mr. Bang, you should review important documents in your office.
I'll do that. Thank you all for finding this.
Go on in now. It's cold out here.
- Mom, please go in. - Go on in without me.
- Won Ju, let's go. Seok Gu, come. - Okay.
Ms. Na.
Why did you do that?
What do you mean?
You knew it was me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Anyway, I'm partly responsible since I just threw it away.
Your break time is over. So, Won Ju...
I mean, Ms. No.
Go back to work and finish cleaning your area.
Yes, ma'am. I'll do that.
Spring has arrived in our hearts
- Spring has come - Mr. Soo. I'm here.
Do you know what time it is now?
Don't even come if you're going to come in at this hour.
Mr. Soo, why are you wearing the green one?
I told you that red was your color.
I prefer green.
Oh, right. Watch the store, please.
I should make deliveries.
Sure.
Why does he like green when it doesn't suit him?
Jun, let's sit here.
Okay.
There you go.
Hello, Ms. Ma. We're here.
Hi, Mom. I guess Mr. Soo went on a delivery.
Yes, he did.
Oh, dear. He's so clumsy.
He forgot to take that one.
I'll go and give this to him.
You two watch the store and look after Jun, okay?
Okay.
Mr. Soo.
Sun Joong.
"Mr. Soo. Sun Joong." Gosh.
What's with that nasal voice? Does she have a stuffy nose?
Why doesn't she blow her nose already?
Besides, some people might think something's going on between them.
How annoying.
(Sisters Side Dish)
Seul A, does that mean you'll lose your job at Mr. Seo's office?
I don't know. He hasn't told me anything about it yet.
I'm out of breath.
How does he walk so fast when he's so small?
(Premium Dry Cleaning)
You're saying that Mr. Seo seems to plan to move to the US, right?
That's right.
Since he looked for information...
on getting a lawyer's license in the US,
I'm sure he's going to leave Korea soon.
Why else would he look into it?
Then could Professor Choi have taken a leave of absence,
so they could leave together?
What does that mean?
They're leaving together?
The number you have dialed is not in service.
Please check the number and try again.
Choi Sun Hae, you were planning to run away with your boyfriend...
after giving me just the deposit?
I'll teach you a lesson.
(Sisters Side Dish)
I'm sorry, we're closed...
Hello.
What brings you here?
Is your son moving to the US?
Pardon?
Hey, whether or not my nephew is moving to the US,
it's none of your business.
Exactly. Why would you ask us so many questions about my brother?
Just answer the question. Is he moving to the US or not?
What did you hear? And where did you hear it?
Yes, he's moving to the US.
His fiancee was offered a job as a visiting professor.
So they'll get married and leave together. Happy now?
They'll get married and leave together?
Ms. Oh, are you really going to let them get married?
Ms. Ma, you said those weird things last time too.
I want you to stop meddling in my son's affairs.
They can't get married.
You shouldn't let your son marry Choi Sun Hae.
Listen, Ms. Ma.
A visiting professor, my foot.
You don't know who Choi Sun Hae really is, do you?
She's the daughter of the scumbag...
who caused your husband and mine to die.
What did you say?
What?
Mom.
What is she talking about?
Choi Sun Hae's father Choi Hyung Nam...
is the con man who sold...
the company's patented technology...
and made us all go broke.
What?
Mom.
Does that mean that Kang Rim doesn't believe the case at all?
I think he needs to find certainty.
Whatever the truth may be,
he needs a conclusion that's convincing enough,
so he can figure out a solution.
It's not that I don't understand how he feels.
But it might be best if he just lets go.
You know how Kang Rim is.
He would never let it go.
He won't give up until he gets to the bottom of it.
Yes, Auntie Poong Geum.
What? Who came to see you?
For now, I don't see anything wrong with the way the document was made.
Sun Hae.
Whatever the truth may be,
let's not give up.
If your father was wrongfully accused,
we have to find out the truth.
And...
Although I believe it can never be the case,
even if what this document says is all true,
it's something we have to deal with.
It'll be painful, but let's face the truth.
Whatever the truth is, I'll stay by your side.
Kang Rim.
Do you think you can stay strong?
Yes.
Good. That's all that matters.
Could one of those who went to the same school as us...
be working in the legal team of PM Cosmetics?
I think we can find one.
But it was a long time ago.
Still, let's try our best to look into it.
If we find such a person, we could get the information we need.
Let's do that.
Kang Rim.
Mom.
Tell me. Is it true?
What are you talking about?
Is it really true?
That your father was the one...
who stole the patented technology?
Ms. Oh.
(The All-Round Wife)
Are we locked in here?
Is anyone out there?
You said you would let it go.
We have to leave this town as soon as possible.
Thank you for everything.
Are you saying that it's all true?
Then you two should've broken up.
I'll be with Sun Hae for the rest of my life.
That means you're abandoning your family.
I'll find out what really happened 22 years ago.
I'll get to the bottom of it.
