My mother...
can't be reached since yesterday.
Her last call was with you, sir.
So I came here to ask you about it.
Did you...
speak with my mother?
Sir.
Yes. We talked.
I want to know what about.
How do you know my mother?
What are you doing?
Are you interrogating him?
I want to know what you talked about.
It's about Chan Woo.
I'll leave a document in your mailbox.
Take a look and call me.
I don't mean anything.
She was last traced...
near your holiday home where she talked to you.
Was that woman there to see Father?
If you tell me what you talked about,
it might help me find her.
Sir.
We didn't talk about much.
But you called her.
Wasn't it to say something?
If you saw her call history,
you'll have noticed she called me first the day before.
Well...
Don't ask any more questions.
Nothing good will come from you hearing any more.
I must know.
You don't know what Iri-dong is like, do you?
It's full of people who want to...
borrow my money.
They must see dollar signs on me.
They ask for it whenever I appear.
Are you saying my mother asked you for money?
Hearing any more...
will only upset you.
No. No way. That can't be.
My mother wouldn't have done that.
Leave. I have nothing more to say.
Isn't it obvious?
She realized who Father is,
and she must've come up with a plan.
She'll have ignored what she had done,
and focused on you getting punched.
I have a feeling she called Father to demand compensation.
Am I wrong?
No. My mother would never do that.
You can never tell what a person is thinking.
You can't see if their heart is red or black.
Even if they're family.
What's going on?
Why would you do that?
You wouldn't have.
Ji Hwan.
I heard something.
Maybe it can help.
What a strange kid.
I get that he's grasping at straws to find his mother,
but that was insolent.
His mother too. She screamed and threw water at me.
I guess he got it from her.
Why did you...
join the conversation and make a fool of me?
Why did you add your piece when I said she asked for a loan?
Because I was afraid Ji Hwan wouldn't believe you.
What?
If you don't convince him well, he'll just come back.
Plus, what I said wasn't completely wrong, was it?
Well...
She can't know you well enough to ask you for a loan.
If not for that incident at the restaurant,
she wouldn't have dared.
Would she have dared to ask you for money?
The mailbox?
That's what I heard.
I don't care what's in the mailbox.
Do what you want!
If it was your mother he was talking to,
I thought you should know.
I think she said she'd leave something in the mailbox.
Okay. Thank you.
I should go.
Ji Hwan. Tell me if there's anything I can do.
I'll help.
Okay.
Thanks.
(Seohyun University Hospital Outpatient Bill and Receipt)
Where are you, Mom?
I hope you're not lost somewhere.
That mom of is.
She should've disappeared before the interview.
Then I could've beaten Ji Hwan with no problem.
Just a few days too late.
Wait, 11 calls?
This is crazy.
I like Woo Ji Hwan.
Darn it.
(Nam Tae Hyung)
Whose call did you just ignore?
It's no one.
Any news on Ms. An yet?
No.
Did you call all your friends?
Not just call them.
I walked around the neighborhood dozens of times too.
Does what she has...
to change someone like that overnight?
Alzheimer's has grades and levels.
Even then, it's weird.
Even if it was acute and advanced,
it didn't seem to be that bad.
Hello.
How do you feel, Dad? Any better?
Still the same.
Did she get into an accident while wandering a strange place?
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Why do I keep thinking the worst?
Ji Hwan would've heard if she'd been in an accident.
Right?
She must've had her wallet and ID in her bag.
They would've traced her.
Of course.
If she didn't vanish into thin air,
where did she go overnight?
It's so frustrating.
Oh, dear.
There's nothing here.
What happened?
You wiped the dashcam memory cards in both cars, right?
Yes, ma'am, I did.
Did you look into that woman?
It was difficult to find a connection with the chairman.
However,
she was recently diagnosed with dementia.
- Dementia? - It sounded pretty far along.
She has dementia?
Thief.
That was why she did something so outrageous.
Dementia? We lucked out.
It won't be a problem even if she wakes up.
(Kim Jung Im)
Will she survive?
I'm not sure. We'll have to wait and see for a few more days.
What's the probability that she'll wake up?
Does that matter?
Right? We just make her sleep anyway.
Anyway,
who is she?
- I need to know... - Shut it.
Be quiet and just do as you're told.
It was very difficult.
It's no easy task to turn this person...
into that person.
But I managed to do something that difficult.
Don't you think you should pay me extra?
I know our relationship is based on more than money, but still.
What relationship?
Pardon?
I can hear the gears in your brain turning.
I'm not trying anything funny.
I'm just telling you the truth...
You must know if you saw her.
Just how far I can go.
You've received more than enough thus far.
You and I both have evidence that you received my money.
Yes, ma'am.
Stop trying to use your dumb brain against me.
Call me right away if anything changes.
Yes, ma'am. I'll do that.
The police began investigating.
They're investigating?
They started around the vacation house.
Everything should be okay, right?
I cleaned up the site flawlessly.
Good.
And it poured that night.
They won't find a thing.
It's fake?
Yes. It was just for show.
It's common for people to put up fake cameras in the suburbs.
We confirmed her getting off the bus though.
You did?
What about her getting back on going in reverse?
If we track her movements,
we may be able to figure out where she went.
We can't confirm that.
There's no trace of her going anywhere that night.
What do you mean?
How did she end up in Gimpo then?
That was where her signal ended.
What? Do I make you sick?
I'm not like you.
I'll protect my child.
I won't even let the universe punish him.
If it's for Tae Hyung,
I'd jump into the fiery pit in his place.
Just watch.
Let's go. I'll cook for you.
Hello.
I have a sharp poking pain in my lower abdomen.
Do you want a painkiller?
Yes, please.
(Steps to avoid developing dementia)
(Steps to take by age to avoid developing dementia)
Not really.
I couldn't remember the code.
Hello. Has Mom called?
I see.
No, not yet.
Okay. Got it.
I hear your mom's missing.
Had I known your mom would get lost on her own...
Darn it.
I wouldn't have wasted my time on you.
I only did it to get back at Ji Hwan anyway.
- What? - Then what?
Did you think I was seeing you because I liked you?
You should've kept refusing instead of letting me have you.
You kept saying no, but you ended up letting me have you.
You jerk.
Since we're even now,
let's not see each other again.
That's right.
Hey.
Tell your brother...
about this humiliation from today.
First your mom and now you...
Hopefully he'll lose it.
Seriously.
You are...
not human.
I remember I'd jump out of bed if your mom said...
she'd make me glutinous rice meat.
She always pressed down hard on the meat...
whenever she made it...
so that the pieces wouldn't separate.
I think she did it to make sure...
the people eating it would receive her energy.
Even when she cooked it,
she didn't cook anything else and didn't take her eyes off of it.
Also putting a spell on it...
to be delicious.
I don't know if it'll come out like hers.
Anything unfamiliar is very difficult for her.
Food, places...
She becomes scared of anything unfamiliar.
I don't know where she is or how she's coping.
I'm sure she's trying hard to come back.
She'll come back.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Woo Ji Hwan.
Yes.
I should've called you first. I'm sorry.
Something came up, so we couldn't go.
Yes.
Okay.
I guess that was Jeju.
She was supposed to be in Jeju by now.
Sorry, Ju Hong. I have to go.
I should make flyers to hand out.
Eat up before you leave.
Wait.
I'll come too.
Let's do something. I'll help.
Let's go.
Did Ji Hwan's mother...
really ask you for a loan?
Were you going to meet her and give her money?
Why do you want to know about that?
Because if you were going to lend her money...
- What if? - You wouldn't have let Mr. Yang...
take the day off.
When you lend someone money, you always take Mr. Yang with you.
- As a witness. - So...
Since Mr. Yang was out the whole day,
even before we talked,
I had no intention of lending her cash?
Yes.
You're pretty smart.
Did Ji Hwan's mother really ask you for money?
Did she ask for compensation?
Once you graduate, come and work for me.
Sometimes dogs pick up neat tricks.
It looks like you did.
What was she doing at the holiday home?
- Tae Hee. - Yes?
Do you know...
what keeps the world going?
It's money.
Money is the greatest magnet.
If a large sum of money appears,
people gather from all around.
They all work for money.
It's for money and nothing else.
What's this?
- Money. - Money?
What is all this?
Where did you get all this?
What's wrong?
Your dad must be at it again.
Where would he get this much unless he won it gambling?
- Dad. - If I gambled,
I'd have lost, not brought money home.
What's this, then?
You can't tell anyone.
I'm not kidding!
Don't ask any questions and put it toward your tuition.
Medical school costs a fortune.
That's why I got a student loan.
Student loans aren't for free.
You end up with debt the moment you graduate.
I'm doing this because I don't want my kid to be in debt.
You know that and you gambled in the first place?
Not just a few times but for 20 years?
I won't gamble again. Don't worry.
Ju Hong. Don't study until your nose bleeds...
for each exam just so you can get a scholarship.
You don't have to anymore.
You can now relax and study without worry.
Did you go to a loan shark?
Is that where you got this money?
No!
Let's go. We'll return this right now!
It's not from a loan shark!
Dad!
It's mine. It's my money.
I...
(Police Station)
We visited everyone in the area...
and got nothing.
Unless we find the person within 48 hours,
the case usually gets dragged out.
(Notice Board)
(Missing Mother)
(An Kyung Sun, Aged 48)
Hello?
Who?
(Estate Agent)
What do you mean our lease ran out?
It couldn't have.
Your landlord sold the home you live in,
and the new landlord won't extend the lease.
We have a new landlord?
You're on time.
- Is the contract ready? - Yes, ma'am.
Your old landlord was way too nice.
I can't let you stay. You have to go.
Even so... This is way too sudden.
Please let me stay.
My mother will come back to look for us here.
Your mom won't come back.
Please let me stay at least until she returns.
I can't.
Please, ma'am.
Why should I willingly take that loss?
It's irrational to live in Seoul if you can't afford to.
Wouldn't it be best to move to where you can afford the rent?
Move far away.
And take your sister with you.
Don't let me see you again.
I will get you the money.
I'll pay more for the deposit.
Extend our lease.
Don't waste your efforts.
I'm going to tear down the building.
Take care of this behind the chairman's back.
Yes, ma'am.
Once Ji Hwan and Min Young are out of our lives,
Tae Hyung won't have any more distractions.
They say bad things aren't always that bad.
That woman's accident worked in our favor.
Please take a look. I'm looking for my mother.
I'm looking for my mother. Thank you.
Hello. Please take a look.
I'm looking for my mother.

As a trainee...
at the Judicial Training Institute,
I will remember my duty is to cultivate...
the character and capabilities of a legal expert.
I will obey the law,
study diligently,
and preserve the class and honor of a trainee.
To that, I solemnly swear.
(45th Judicial Training Institute Admission Ceremony)
I'm proud of you, son.
I will get rid of anything that's in your way.
Don't mind anything and run straight ahead.
Take the path I set up for you.
Mom.
I'm so sorry.
Hello?
Hello? Speak up.
I'm calling from a hospital.
A hospital?
Yes. I think you should come over.
What is this about?
By chance... Is Ms. An Kyung Sun there?
Where is she?
(The Secret House)
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Can't you do anything right?
Why did you have to squeeze in and get photographed?
- Stay still. - I caught him.
There is no such thing! Stop asking!
Just leave already!
Don't be so mean to your future son-in-law.
- He's not my son-in-law! - Why are you getting mad?
Min Young!
Darn it.
Why are you holding a baby?
Where did you go? Whose baby is that?
