(Episode 28)
What?
That person isn't here yet?
You should've met them long ago if they were serious about meeting.
Director Kang.
You didn't even take your jacket.
What will you do...
if you catch a cold?
I left the office in a hurry.
Thank you.
Anyway, what brings you here?
You were supposed to clock out hours ago.
I got worried, knowing you were meeting a stranger by yourself.
When will this person get here?
The thing is, I messaged them on social media earlier,
but they haven't read the message yet.
What?
So you're just waiting for them here when you can't even reach them?
Is this person a man or a woman?
A man.
Let's go. He's just pranking you.
No, it's not a prank. He really said he'd give me the movie file.
Then why isn't he even checking his messages...
when he called you here at this late hour?
He could be in a situation where he can't check his phone.
Maybe that's why he can't contact me now.
You're unbelievably trusting.
You'd soon leave for Rome for your ordination ceremony.
Well, I'm sure he wants to give it to me because he wants to help.
I appreciate your concern,
but I already said I'd wait here, so I'll wait just a bit longer.
Then keep on waiting...
to see what kind of person would show up.
I never asked him to bring me my jacket.
Why did he come all the way here?
She's so stubborn.
Let's see who's right.
See? He's not coming.
I knew it.
Gosh, seriously.
Did she even have dinner?
Are you Ms. Yoo Eun Sung, by any chance?
Oh, are you the video creator?
Hello.
What?
- Is he the one she was waiting for? - I'm so sorry.
I left my phone at a cafe when I was working outside of the office.
And I think my phone died.
It took me a long time to find my phone because I was busy.
You must've waited here for a long time.
No, not at all. I'm so grateful that you showed up.
By the way, you're very pretty.
You're just my type.
I'm flattered. Thank you.
Do you have the movie file that you promised to give me?
Oh, right. Give me a moment.
What?
Oh, no. I left the flash drive at the bar.
Pardon? You left it at a bar?
I had to stop by at a bar on my way here.
Would you like to go there with me?
Many members of a movie club are at the bar right now.
Well...
Then I'll just receive the file and leave right away.
No problem. I met you to give you the movie file.
Let's get going.
Okay.
What's going on?
Why didn't he give her the file? And where are they going?
Why should I care?
Why isn't this working?
Oh, my.
Since we crossed paths with each other,
why don't we talk about movies over a drink like friends?
I can't handle alcohol very well.
Oh, then... Well...
Shall we go somewhere more comfortable...
and have a drink together?
Well... I'd rather not. It's quite late now, so...
Come on. It's not late at all.
Hey...
If you're afraid to be outside at night, I'll take you home.
Okay? Let's go.
You don't need to take her home.
Director Kang.
She has someone to drive her home,
so don't worry about that, and give her the movie file.
Who is this man?
Well... This is...
I'm her work colleague.
Her work colleague?
Yes.
So stop making a move on her.
Since you decided to help her,
help her as you promised.
Just as a creator with 500,000 subscribers would do.
It's not like that. He left his flash drive at a bar.
Oh, I see.
Then let's go together.
I was thirsty anyway.
I could use a glass of cold beer.
If I become fond of you while having a chat,
I'll subscribe to your channel, like your videos,
and turn on the notification bell.
Oh, it slipped my mind.
I just realized that I didn't leave it at the bar.
I had it in my left pocket.
I only checked my right pocket earlier, so I didn't know.
Here you go.
Thank you so much.
Please contact me sometime. I'll repay your kindness.
That's weird. He said he had left it at the bar.
You're so reckless.
- Pardon? - Why did you blindly trust him?
You're so careless like a little child!
Maybe the tie between us hasn't been severed.
Even though I haven't seen them in many years.
Maybe my relationship with my kids remained.
Maybe through someone I know.
Why on earth did he leave like that?
I wonder if these fit Eun A and Eun Hyuk.
I wonder if they've grown a lot since I last saw them.
Jung Ae.
It's been a long time.
Oh, hello. Have you been well?
I've been doing all right.
I heard you had divorced your husband.
You must've been going through a hard time emotionally.
I heard the news a long while after it happened.
Yes. Well... It happened that way.
By the way, what are you doing here?
And what's with those kids' clothes?
Actually, I got into an accident...
and was hospitalized for a long time.
So I couldn't see my kids, not even once.
I haven't seen them since I got divorced. So...
You're here to see your children?
- Yes. - But Eun A's father...
moved to another country with the kids.
What? They moved to another country?
Yes, they moved to the Philippines.
That was several days ago. You didn't know that?
Ma'am.
Oh, hey, Jung Ae.
Is it true that my ex-husband moved to the Philippines?
Did he really take Eun A and Eun Hyuk with him?
Yes, it's true. They moved about a month ago.
Didn't he let you know?
Goodness gracious.
He said he wanted to forget everything that happened in Korea...
and start his life anew when he left.
That can't be.
How could he leave without even telling me?
This can't be happening.
Eun A. Eun Hyuk.
Mr. Yoo Dong Gu quit his job two months ago.
His contact information?
I didn't even know he had moved to another country.
Of course, I don't have his numbers.
What is wrong with you?
Why are you doing this to me?
Cheating on me wasn't enough?
How could you even take my children away from me?
We too want to know how he's doing, but he hasn't called us.
Dong Gu lost his parents at a young age...
and has no relatives, you know.
His friends were the only ones he was connected to.
Where on earth is he now?
Where did he run away with my children?
He promised he would let me raise them.
Then why?
Why?
- Mom. - What?
How am I supposed to go on with my life?
In this world without my kids.
How am I supposed to live all alone?
Eun A.
Eun Hyuk.
Eun A. Eun Hyuk.
Eun Hyuk. Mommy is right here.
Where are you, my babies? Mommy is here.
Eun Hyuk. Come to Mommy, please.
Oh, gosh. Eun Hyuk.
There hasn't been a single day that I've given up on you two ever since.
Mommy is here, my babies.
Mom's coming for you.
I'll find you two no matter what!
Eun A and Eun Hyuk.
Mommy will...
Mommy will find you.
How come you don't eat carrots when you're all grown up?
Mom had to make two different types because of you.
I didn't ask. She made this for me because she wanted to.
Everyone else in our family eats carrots.
Seeing that only you hate carrots,
you might have been adopted.
No one else in our family has curly hair.
Only you have curly hair.
You might have been adopted too.
I'll force you to eat carrots if you keep going on like this.
It's so sweet and tasty.
I don't know why Eun Hyuk doesn't eat carrots.
Well, it's probably because he takes after his birth mother.
That's why they say that you can't deceive blood.
Her mother hated carrots too, as far as I remember.
Did she?
By the way, I wonder if Jung Ae got remarried and had more children.
Why do you want to know if she had more children?
I'm just curious.
I heard the man she remarried had no kids.
So I guess she had children with him unless they had a reason not to.
How many?
One? Or two?
How would I know that?
Why do you care about how many kids she had?
Even those who abandoned their kids when they were younger...
try to find their kids as they get old. That's what they say.
But Jung Ae hasn't tried to contact us, not even once...
when 30 years have passed.
I mean, she must've been so happy with her marriage...
seeing that she abandoned her own children...
and cut all ties with them.
I know.
She was never that heartless.
You know how much she adored Eun A and Eun Hyuk.
She insisted on raising the kids no matter what.
What's the point?
We left her our new address and a letter,
but she completely ignored those.
Director Kang.
Do you realize you were out of line?
I was being careless like a little kid?
Then would you call yourself careful?
The guy you couldn't even reach finally showed up...
and invited you to a pub in the middle of the night.
You followed him right away.
What? What do you mean I followed him right away?
I was going to just get the movie file and leave.
It's a public place, so he wouldn't dare to do anything silly.
That's called careless.
Blindly trusting what a stranger tells you.
After all, the flash drive came out of his pocket. It wasn't at the pub.
What was I supposed to do in that situation though?
Should I have searched his pocket or something?
Should I have given up on the file because he seemed suspicious?
Of course, you should've given up on the movie file.
Nothing's more important than you.
No, I will never give up.
I have no way of figuring out his true intentions.
I didn't even know where the flash drive was.
It's not that big of a deal. Why would you risk it all for this?
Cheong Film is just one of many film production companies.
Even if you can't get this sorted out,
there are many companies where you can work.
If you'd like, I can put you in touch with some of them.
It's so easy...
for you to say that, isn't it?
I never asked you to put me in touch with a different company.
I got the job at Cheong Film...
on my own, of my own accord.
You shouldn't talk about it as if it's nothing at all.
I never said it was nothing.
You don't need to risk everything for...
Please don't cross the line.
What did you say?
I told you not to cross the line.
Everyone's situation is different.
Don't judge others...
based on your subjective opinion.
My subjective opinion?
Okay. I'll never cross the line again,
no matter where you go and what you decide to meddle in.
Yes, please.
Thank you for coming all the way here...
to drive me home.
Well...
Get home safely.
Wait.
I never said it was nothing or easy.
I just said those things out of concern.
He doesn't even know why I decided to work for Cheong Film.
He has no idea.
Gosh, you scared me.
What are you doing here?
Hey, you showed up out of nowhere like a ghost.
I came out to ride my bike around the block...
to enjoy this beautiful autumn night.
Anyway, what are you doing here so late, looking dazed?
Oh, someone on my team lives in this area,
so I gave them a ride home as it was too late.
I see.
It must be a woman.
Look at those moist eyes.
What? "Moist?"
What is this nonsense about?
From that moody face to those moist eyes,
shall I say you look like a man starting a new love?
Stop talking nonsense. Just exercise and enjoy your bike ride.
It's getting late, so go around the block once and come home.
I wonder if Ms. Yoo managed to get it all sorted out.
Ms. Shin.
I've finished uploading all the movies I managed to find,
but there are some that I haven't been able to find yet.
I looked into it and found out...
that the company that had imported those films went out of business.
So I'd like to visit the person who was in charge of them back then.
That said, would you be able to wait until tomorrow morning?
I'm meeting an investor with Mr. Kim in the morning,
so I have to get ready for that.
I see. Then I'll come into the office first...
and visit them in the afternoon.
Got it.
She's doing her best to get it sorted out to keep her job.
Please. I really hope that person still has those films.
But if they're gone because they're too old...
Then where can I go to find them?
I bet no one in the country has these films.
It was never imported officially.
I don't want to bother with this,
but I shall upload them for everyone's sake.
("Someone Else's Day," "At the End of the Rainbow")
(Uploads)
(Upload Successful)
- What? "Nasty temper?" - Yes.
I was trying to tell her she was pretty and that she didn't look old.
So I told her you always thought she was pretty...
despite her temper.
Dad, I struggled to reconcile with her.
I can't believe you blew your chance again.
And you didn't even tell me.
You were keeping it all to yourself?
I was too embarrassed to tell you.
I was just trying to buy time.
Buy time? What for?
If we dawdle like this,
the situation will only get worse,
and things will get more complicated.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't stop running my mouth like a broken faucet.
You need a filter.
There are some things you should never say.
I'll apologize to her again.
I'll earn her forgiveness.
You called her "nasty" and "ill-tempered."
She won't forgive you easily.
Dad, how come you don't understand women?
It's not like I understand men either.
Anyway, how did "nasty" become "ill-tempered?"
My gosh. Who knew that show host was the chicken place owner's daughter?
I'm still so shocked, Father.
I know.
I was very surprised too.
Who'd imagine that lady would have a daughter like her?
Her mother is like a wild tiger,
ruthlessly chasing her prey.
But she looks like a roe deer with sweet eyes.
She may not resemble her mother,
but a daughter is bound to take after her mother.
If her mother is a tiger,
she'll eventually turn into a tiger too.
Hey, a tiger can't give birth to a roe deer.
But what if the father is a roe deer?
The father? Oh, that man at the fried chicken restaurant?
Yes, he seems so gentle and pure-hearted.
As if he'd only eat dew drops on the leaves at dawn.
Right, that cop is so gentle and sweet too.
He's buff and muscular,
but he has such a sweet personality.
I'm a man, but even I find his unexpected charms attractive.
The market report...
and the sales report are both ready.
I think I have everything ready for the meeting.
It must be the person from the film company I texted yesterday.
The films you inquired about were never imported.
We wanted to import them but couldn't.
I'm sorry I can't be of much help.
What? They don't have them?
What should I do? If they were never imported...
(Office Alarm, Upload Successful)
Oh, someone uploaded movies to the archive last night.
("Someone Else's Day," "At the End of the Rainbow")
What? The two films I couldn't find are here.
What? How did this happen?
Who uploaded these?
I went through hoops to find that film.
"Film?"
I can do that much for my junior colleague...
who works so hard until late at night.
Was Jae Jun the one who uploaded the films?
It's a foreign film that was never imported,
so it wasn't easy to find the distribution company.
Whatever you do, you need connections.
Gosh, no. I won't tell anyone that I did it.
It did it for everyone.
Right.
What?
My gosh. It was Jae Jun, for sure.
Without his help, I could've gotten fired.
What can I do to express my gratitude?
Oh, he likes coffee. First, I'll get him a coffee.
That's right.
I went to college with the new hire at Bombom Film.
He's in charge of the indie film festival.
They're looking for unknown films.
Many of them aren't imported yet, so he's been working late every day,
which is why I jumped in to help.
(Film Files)
What? Did Eun Sung find all those films?
My, I'm impressed. How did she do this?
- Jae Jun! - Eun Sung.
I see that everything's been restored at last.
Yes, it's all thanks to you.
Gosh, I didn't even do anything.
All I did was root for you.
Knowing that you were rooting for me was such a big help.
You made all those efforts without even showing it.
You're so considerate.
Thank you, Jae Jun. Thank you so much.
Gosh, no problem.
I don't think this is enough to repay you for everything,
but this is a token of my gratitude.
What? "Repay?" "Gratitude?"
Well, all right. Thanks for the coffee.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Okay.
Good morning.
- Hello. - Ms. Shin.
Eun Sung got all the movie files she lost and uploaded them.
Is that true?
You said you had to meet someone from a film company just last night.
Yes, that was the situation.
But with some kind person's help, I got it sorted out well.
Really? That's great news.
Eun Sung, I'm so relieved.
I was worried to death if you might not pull it off.
I couldn't even sleep last night.
I tried to find the lost movies all night long.
Why did you do that?
You don't care about others.
You only care about yourself.
That's not true. I love my subordinates very much.
As much as I love macarons.
Thank you, Ms. Lee.
You and Mr. Kim's support and encouragement made it possible.
Ms. Yoo, you did a great job.
And I appreciate how you tried to take responsibility to the end.
But you should never make the same mistake again.
Of course. I'll be very careful to make sure it won't happen again.
Great job, Eun Sung.
- Thank you, Mr. Kim. - You did well.
- It must've been so hard. - I'm so relieved.
- What's with her, really? - Thanks for the coffee.
- Please enjoy. - What a relief.
Everyone seems happy, so that's all that matters.
It doesn't matter how Ms. Yoo thinks of me.
Jung Sook, what brings you to my office?
I heard you had heard some news from the Philippines.
So I'm curious.
I see. I'm still trying to confirm if it's true.
As you know, while looking for Jung Ae's children,
we got scammed and wasted so much time.
So I'm trying to be more cautious this time.
Of course, you should be.
Or else, Jung Ae might end up being disappointed again.
By the way, about Yoo Dong Gu.
You said that he wasn't heartless enough...
to sever a parent-child tie on purpose.
How did the situation seem to you when they were separated?
Well... I don't really know why it happened that way,
but I suppose Dong Gu wanted to raise the kids as Jung Ae did.
I mean, he probably promised he would do as Jung Ae wanted...
because he was at fault in their divorce.
But when he was about to move to the Philippines,
he must have wanted to take the kids with him.
Could that be the case?
Oh, dear.
Had I not caused the car accident,
Jung Ae wouldn't have been hospitalized.
And then none of this would have happened.
I know.
It's such a shame.
If only Jung Ae hadn't been hospitalized at the time.
(KS Foodville)
Jung Ae, I'm sorry.
I'm worried if she might find Dong Gu.
And I'm worried if she might not at the same time.
Constable Lee asked me to give you this.
- What's this? - It's CCTV footage.
He was tracking the suspect in the theft...
at a commercial building near Saebit Catholic Church.
And he saw the dumpling thief you told me about...
caught on the CCTV camera.
A dumpling thief?
Oh, you mean, the one who took the dumplings my father lost?
But my father told me not to worry about it.
He said that a food thief shouldn't be caught.
Really?
Then forget it.
Constable Lee said he had collected the parts where the thief appeared.
Hold on. Since you brought it, I'll take a look.
Thank you.
All right. Let's watch it.
Where are you, dumpling thief?
Oh, Dad is taking the dumplings with him.
He said he had run into his acquaintance and lost them.
What?
Why did he come back?
Is he looking for someone?
Oh, there she is.
The dumpling thief must be somewhere around here.
I found you, you punk.
Wait.
That thief was strange.
But whom is Dad chasing after?
Could it be that lady?
Is she the acquaintance he ran into?
But who is she? And why did Dad look for her so desperately?
Where did she go?
Eun Sung restored all the lost movie files.
Is it your work colleague you gave a ride to?
If it were not Dong Gu's fault that you were separated...
from your children like that,
- how would you feel? - Oh, gosh.
What's her relationship with Dad?
Who on earth is she?
They probably assume...
that we're suspecting them.
