(Episode 77)
Oh, wait. I have something for you.
Here.
What is this?
A fountain pen.
I bought it to give it to you in case you won the competition.
Stay in the company for many more years to come...
and use it whenever you need it.
It'd be great to see you using it...
when you need to sign documents in a high-ranking position.
That's what I was picturing as I was preparing this gift for you.
I might not get first place after all.
No.
That would be so unfair. I won't let that happen to you.
Anyway, thank you, Kyung Jun.
You even got me this gift.
So I should cheer up.
I'll try to lift my spirits.
You're so strong. I love that about you.
Grandpa... I mean, Chairman Jang told me...
that there were waves in big companies.
He said, "Don't be a grain of sand that gets swept away by the waves."
"Become a solid rock."
I don't know what tomorrow holds,
but I won't be afraid of what hasn't happened yet.
All of this could be part of the process of becoming a solid rock.
Yes, let's think of it that way.
It looks delicious.
- I'm home. - Hey.
Mom's here. Mom!
Hi.
You said you'd come straight home after work.
What took you so long?
Congratulations! You won first place, my dear daughter-in-law.
Grandma is so proud of you. She suggested we grill some beef today.
Thank you, Grandma.
What did I tell you?
Yeong I, I told you that you had a lucky face.
I knew you'd land a permanent position.
What about me, Grandma?
You have the face of a man who just eats and does nothing else.
You little...
Goodness, you two. You're fighting again at the table.
Why are you standing there? Go wash your hands.
- Okay. - Go on.
Come here.
- Try this. - This looks delicious.
Mom.
I'm going to face the truth head-on.
I know it's too late,
but I'll start now.
I'm afraid,
but I'll choose that path.
(Muyeon Public Health Center)
Hold on.
Don't be like this. You can talk it out.
Calm down.
(Muyeon Public Health Center)
Let go of me!
Excuse me.
Muyeon Public Health Center?
Then maybe...
Wait!
Excuse me.
Did you call me?
By any chance,
are you a doctor at the public health center?
Yes, I'm a public health doctor.
Public health doctor?
May I ask you when you started working at the public health center?
Just a few months ago.
Anyway, why do you ask?
I'm looking for someone.
How do you get stationed at this public health center?
In most cases, med school grads...
come here to complete their military service.
Then most of the doctors at the health center...
must be quite young.
Yes.
Wait, let me ask you just one more thing.
Where should I go to find out who was sent here six years ago...
as a public health doctor?
Six years ago?
Then the records must still be stored at the county office.
But it's personal information, so they may not tell you.
Right, I believe the full-time nurse was at the center back then.
You may be able to find out if you ask the nurse.
Se Jun isn't in his room.
He's taking time off work,
so I'm sure he didn't go to the office.
I heard...
he left last night, saying he'd be back in a couple of days.
He only talked to Ms. An before he left.
He went away by himself?
He's never done this before.
Se Jun hasn't been looking so well.
Is something going on?
Something? Like what?
He's just overworked and tired.
All he does is work.
I was asking out of concern. You seem on edge, Mother.
Do you know where he went?
He's an adult. I can't make him report everything to me.
Maybe he went to see Won Sub.
Even in the past, he talked to Won Sub often...
whenever he was stressed out about something.
Gosh. Why would Se Jun meet him?
Won Sub?
You mean, Sim Won Sub? The driver?
That's right, Father.
I guess I haven't told you.
He recently got in contact with us.
He visited the office to see us,
so Yoon Hee and I met with him.
He said he wanted to come by and say hello to you,
so we're going to invite him over soon.
I see. I'm glad to hear that he got in contact with you.
Is he doing well?
I think he's been doing pretty well.
I haven't heard Uncle Won Sub's name in so long.
Right?
Hearing that you regained your eyesight made him so happy...
as if you were his own family.
You don't know what he looks like, right?
You've never met him since you underwent your surgery.
It'd be nice for you to meet him too.
Honey. Since this topic has been brought up anyway,
why don't we invite him over this weekend?
Let's call Se Jun and tell him to come home with Won Sub...
if he's with him now.
Where does Uncle Won Sub live?
He said he had moved,
but I don't know where he lives now.
My gosh.
Well, it's nothing urgent.
Our priority should be getting things sorted out at work.
Yes.
I met your son and told him I was washing my hands of the matter.
I passed along the photo you gave me.
Did he say anything?
He seemed to believe me.
I'll send the remainder to your account this morning.
Do not call him again.
If he calls you, don't answer it.
As for Baby Chick, we all know that she's innocent.
The problem is that we must find out who framed her...
and find evidence.
I'm looking into it at the moment.
I'll get this sorted out on my own.
Grandpa.
I think...
I'll need your help in the near future.
For what?
I'll tell you when it happens.
Please trust me and help me just this once.
All right. You have my word.
Soo Wan is stopping by,
so I should step out now.
He seems to have changed a little, don't you think?
He seems determined.
I should head out and start my day at the restaurant.
Take it easy, Father.
All right, thanks.
You can do it, honey.
Thanks.
Is Father not feeling well?
He seemed totally fine last night.
Yesterday, he didn't want to ruin your party,
so he acted like he was okay.
But he's come back to reality now.
He was sighing all night. He couldn't sleep a wink.
Why?
Wear these to work.
Is it for me?
I wanted to give you these last night...
but decided to wait until you were heading out.
You need a new pair of shoes now that you have a permanent position.
Mother.
Here.
My gosh, I love them.
Hey, does it have to be that guy?
Right now, I have nothing to tell you, Mother.
The tight relationship between your father-in-law and his brother...
is ruined because of you.
Yesterday, he went to the bank to see Uncle Chang Yi.
But Uncle Chang Yi is hurt...
because your father-in-law didn't tell him about you dating him.
He gave him an earful.
Because of your relationship with him,
the elders in the family are fighting. What a mess.
I'm sorry.
Your grandma is upset too, of course.
She gave you permission when she had no idea,
but she also knows everything now.
She's sandwiched between the two families.
She can't side with Hae Mi or you.
Goodness. She must be so stressed out now.
Mom, why are you nagging her right before work?
Grandma, don't be so mean to my mom.
Goodness. Yeong I, I can't even talk to you now...
because I'm so scared of Mi Ri Nae.
I'll talk to Grandma when I get home from work.
I'll see you later.
Mi Ri Nae, let's go.
Yeong I. You know that I'm against it, right?
I am against it, okay?
Thank you for the shoes, Mother!
We got the laptop back.
The internal investigation is now over.
When will they announce the results?
Sometime today, I believe.
Good morning.
- Hello, Ms. Kim. - Good morning, Ms. Kim.
Kyung Jun is taking the morning off.
Yeong I, I guess he didn't tell you.
He has a doctor's appointment.
A doctor's appointment?
I asked some people at DG.
They had no plans for developing a lunchbox in this quarter,
but Assistant Manager Kim Kyu Young submitted the proposal suddenly.
But that person...
She went to the same university as Manager Kim Hae Mi.
She and Hae Mi went to college together?
Hae Mi told me that she didn't know anyone in that company.
It could be true. Attending the same school doesn't mean they're close.
Don't suspect her yet.
I need to meet that person.
Will she meet you though?
She won't if there's something she wants to hide.
But if that's the case,
I must meet her at all costs.
That said...
Thank you for meeting me.
So you wanted to ask me about Dr. Kim Do Jin?
Yes.
Dr. Kim worked here as a public health doctor...
after graduating from Hanguk Medical School.
I resigned right after his accident.
- "Accident?" - I only know what I heard.
I heard he was found in the sea near the wharf.
He was alive when he was rescued,
so he was taken to the ER right away.
But then, he was transferred to Seoul and passed away.
He was found in the sea?
Do you know who found him and called it in?
There's a sashimi restaurant right across the street.
I heard he was found by some people who were on their way there.
But I don't know who those people are.
That incident took place...
the day you came to see me.
I was the one who called the police and 911.
So it wasn't Uncle Won Sub?
People headed to the restaurant found him?
Are you talking about Sim the Carpenter...
and the Captain of Victory?
His surname is Sim?
I believe his first name is Won Sub.
Anyway,
everyone in this town knows about that accident.
A young doctor from Seoul fell into the sea and died.
Oh, dear.
Why did he go there alone?
He went there alone,
and the accident happened?
That's right. He lost his footing.
Thank goodness Sim and the Captain of Victory found him.
Otherwise, his body would never have been found.
Those two always met up and drank until they dropped.
They did something useful, for once.
Find Victory and ask him.
Thank you.
You said the doctor's name was Kim Do Jin.
He went to Hanguk Medical School.
Yes.
Goodness. I feel so bad for his wife and kid.
So he was...
married?
That's right. We lifted him from the sea.
The police investigated it and concluded...
that he lost his footing.
Gosh, he must've hit his head hard against something.
His head was covered with blood. My goodness.
He lost so much blood. No wonder he didn't make it.
Is Mr. Sim Won Sub the man you were with that day?
Yes, that's right.
But everyone here called him Sim the Carpenter.
He said someone was visiting him from Seoul that day.
What did he say?
A nephew who's like a son to him?
Nephew or son? Choose one, you know?
"A nephew who's like a son?" What does that mean?
Anyway, he went downtown to pick up some groceries.
Then he suddenly came by to have a drink with me.
Then what happened?
Nothing much.
I asked him about his nephew. He said he never came.
He seemed very disappointed,
so I went out for drinks with him.
I never came?
Why did he tell such a lie?
But you know, I must say...
Sim is very intuitive.
It gets very windy at this time of year.
But he said we had to go to the sashimi restaurant by the wharf.
He was so adamant about it.
In hindsight, it looked as though he took me there to find the doctor.
My goodness.
Was there someone else around you when you found him or...
Later on, I found out...
that the restaurant was closed that day.
That's why he wasn't found sooner.
There was nobody around.
Oh, boy.
That day, I finally got hold of him.
So I came here, feeling excited to see him again.
Uncle Won Sub, I'm here.
Uncle Won Sub?
Did he step out?
Why are you living here alone like this?
Why did I forget that part?
I swear,
I saw something there, then ran out.
What was it that I saw?
That's right.
That day,
I got into a fight with some fishermen.
(6 years ago)
Hey, you can't touch that.
Hey, you. Can you not hear me?
That little...
Just leave him be.
He's obviously drunk.
Why is he so drunk in broad daylight?
I feel bad for that young brat.
Yes, this young brat is drunk.
But it's none of your business.
Who are you to pity me?
How dare you!
Hey.
If you want to get drunk, just get drunk and stay out of trouble.
Don't pick a fight for no reason.
Why...
Why should I...
know...
something so disgusting?
What's he saying?
I have no idea.
What? You little...
Hey, you punk!
Play someplace else.
We're having a hard time catching fish today.
Stop bothering us. Just get lost, okay?
You little...
Look at you glaring at me. What will you do, then?
- Hey! - Darn it.
Darn you...
- They're fighting. - Hey, hold him.
- Let go! - I'll teach you a lesson.
- Let go. - You little jerk.
How dare you. I told you to get lost!
You punk.
Stop! Hold on.
Don't be like this. You can talk it out.
Calm down.
What?
Who are you to step in?
Who are you?
He seems quite drunk.
It's dangerous to fight with him now.
I'm a doctor. I work at Muyeon Public Health Center.
Please stop fighting now.
Let him go.
Now!
Are you all right?
Are you traveling alone?
I'll take you to where you're staying. Come on.
Who are you?
That jerk hit me.
That scumbag...
I told you to drop it!
You two, get going.
- Let's go. - Come on.
Hey, get back here.
Let go.
Let go of me!
Let's go.
Excuse me. Hey.
Mister.
Hey, mister.
Mister.
Hey.
Mom?
Mom!
I...
I think...
I just killed someone.
What? What do you mean?
- Se Jun. - Mom!
Pull yourself together at once and tell me what's going on.
Where are you now?
Now? I'm...
This place is...
(Managing Director Cha Yoon Hee)
Sim Won Sub! Where are you?
Se Jun!
Se Jun.
Se Jun, are you all right?
This is...
Hey, mister.
Mister.
Hey!
Uncle Won Sub, I...
I killed him.
Don't say anything.
You didn't do anything.
You know where my workshop is. Go there now and wait for me, okay?
Hey, mister.
Hurry!
What if he really is dead?
I'm scared.
I'm scared, Uncle Won Sub.
I'll take care of everything here.
Just go to my workshop and stay there, okay?
This man...
He should be taken to the hospital at once.
We must take him to the hospital!
Snap out of it!
Don't think about anything.
I won't let anything bad happen to you.
Get up and go. Now.
Hurry.
No way.
To create an alibi,
he went to see the Captain of Victory?
Then he ended up...
calling the police?
The truth I remember...
How much of it...
is really true?
(The Love in Your Eyes)
What do you mean? They have already put up the notice?
- What about Yeong I? - She didn't get it.
This is so unfair.
It cannot end like this.
She kept saying she didn't want to be interviewed.
So the reporter I know had a hard time.
She bit the bait?
That girl met up with you...
and talked about her proposal?
"That girl?" I guess you two are quite close.
