(Episode 30)
"Cheong Film."
You're Ms. Shin Ha Young?
Yes. And you are Detective Yoo Cha Sa?
Yes, I'm Yoo Cha Sa. What a surprise.
Who knew...
you were the one I was supposed to meet?
Right. I'm quite flustered too.
When I ran into you earlier, you said you were busy...
and that you were meeting someone very important.
Oh. So that VVIP was...
- me? - That's...
Hold on. How could you be Inspector Choi's junior colleague?
That's because we used to work in the same precinct.
Why didn't you tell me you were an advisor to a film company?
What? When did I have time to tell you that?
You always said you were busy and took off right away.
Why is your name Yoo Cha Sa? That's not your name.
Your name is Yoo Eun Hyuk.
Among police officers, I'm known as the Grim Reaper.
Once I catch criminals,
I make sure to send them to purgatory.
"Chasa" is another name for the Grim Reaper, you know.
Some call me Cha Sa, while others call me the Grim Reaper.
I see. Then what about the phone number?
How come it's a different number?
I use a separate number for work.
I get so many important phone calls.
Me too.
That's why we both had no idea.
Let's just go eat something.
We already know each other, so forget coffee.
We have things to talk about, don't we?
Don't tell me you won't be our advisor...
because of those awkward situations and misunderstandings.
"Awkward situations and misunderstandings?"
You know, I thought you were the serial killer...
and demanded that you fix my shoes.
Oh, that.
You said no when I suggested we say hi to each other,
and when I was worried you'd fallen victim to a crime,
you said I was wasting my time...
and energy.
That wasn't intentional.
At the time, the situation was...
Yes, I admit that I was mean.
But work is work, you know.
So even if you hate me,
please don't turn down the offer.
I wouldn't be here now if I were going to turn down the offer.
I would've parted ways with you at the cafe.
Also, I never have a meal with someone I hate.
I could have a drink, but not a meal.
Here's your food.
Thank you.
Try this.
But if you eat this,
we're partners.
And what if I don't?
You'll regret it for the rest of your life.
The food here is really good.
They say those who like the same kind of food...
work well together too.
Try it.
How is it? Isn't it good?
Yes, no wonder this restaurant is so famous.
See? I knew you'd like this place.
I chose everything so carefully.
Have one more, and have mine too.
I feel like I'm dying.
Is it because I met the Grim Reaper?
I feel like I can see a graveyard surrounded by greenery.
Hey.
You're young. You shouldn't be seeing a graveyard yet.
You've befriended the Grim Reaper? Goodness. That's not good.
Gosh, you can't eat sushi. Why did you eat it?
Why didn't you tell him...
that you hated sushi and couldn't eat it...
because you got sick after eating it once when you were young?
I just didn't want to get on that cop's nerves.
I messed with him many times in the past,
so I wanted to make up for my mistakes too.
Why didn't you tell me if you needed a cop's help?
I could've introduced you to the chicken place owners' son.
The chicken place owners' son?
He's a cop too?
- Yes. - Many cops live in this area.
This cop I'm working with also lives in our neighborhood.
These days, you always see civil servants wherever you go.
Someone's daughter is a teacher, and someone's son is a cop.
That cop at Haha Chicken is so cool.
He's so tall and muscular.
What's the point?
He's beautiful and muscular,
but his mother ruins it all with her fiery temper.
Mom, are you still mad at her?
You'll keep running into her every day, so let it go already.
Whatever. I'm done dealing with that family.
Ha Young, keep working with that cop.
Don't get on his nerves. You don't want to deal with our neighbors.
Jin Sil, I learned the hard way what I had to do to earn a living.
Had I known our neighbor's son was a cop,
I wouldn't have eaten the sushi.
I would've just asked him for help.
My goodness.
She seemed to really like sushi.
Next time, I should take her to a better place.
Eun Sung, you must be really busy these days.
I can only see you on your days off.
Gosh, Dad. Don't exaggerate.
We had meals together except for just a day or two.
Your dad likes to exaggerate, you know.
When he buys a lottery ticket,
he has a dream where he wins the lottery.
It's nice to win the lottery even in my dreams.
It'll never happen in reality anyway.
So how's work? Are you enjoying it?
Yes, it's fun.
I'm fascinated whenever I think our films will be in theaters.
Oh, I'm revising a script this time.
If my thoughts are reflected in it,
I'll feel even more attached to the film.
Look at you, Eun Sung. You're talking like a film producer.
Will you attend award ceremonies as a producer in the future?
Oh, maybe.
Shall I get a dress made in advance? For the Cannes Film Festival?
Whatever.
How are your co-workers?
What about the handsome, mysterious director?
- Yes. - Is he nice to you?
Gosh, I don't even expect him to be nice to me.
I just wish he wasn't so arrogant.
Why?
Does he act all tough because he's from the big pond?
Is he a greaseball because he's had too much butter?
No, it's not that.
He gets nosy but acts like he's concerned.
He acts like he's looking out for me but subtly belittles me.
Anyway, he gets on my nerves. I don't like him.
I hope it's not workplace bullying.
If that ever happens, tell me.
I'll come right over.
Me too.
I can always count on the men in this family.
But don't worry.
They say those who bluff are actually weak.
If he messes with me again,
I'll use the taekwondo skills I learned as a kid...
and show him the power of taekwondo.
Taekwon!
What is it? What happened? You were eating.
Hey, did someone hit you or something?
Why are you touching your chest like that?
Oh, it's not that.
You know I'm an advocate of peace.
"An advocate of peace?" No, you're a coward.
I saw your baby clothes.
You were much smaller than me.
You were tiny.
What? "Tiny?" What do you mean?
The other day, I happened to see...
our baby clothes Mom has been keeping.
But yours was a lot smaller than mine...
as if you were my little brother.
Right, Mom?
Mom.
Why are you so engrossed in thought in the middle of a meal?
Why? What?
Did you ask me something?
We're talking about those clothes.
The baby clothes you had hidden in the drawer.
Oh, those.
- What about them? - Mine was...
much bigger than Sun Woo's.
You said they were bought at different times,
but I could tell at a glance that you bought them together.
They were both brand new.
No, that's not true.
I bought them separately.
Why won't you believe me?
That's odd.
Mom, you don't keep old clothes.
But you still have such old clothes?
Goodness. She probably forgot to throw them out...
or kept them as a souvenir.
Your mom has too many clothes.
I bet she didn't even know she still had those clothes.
No, Mom was fondly staring at those clothes.
Stop talking about those clothes. Just eat your food.
Who do you take after that you're so chatty?
This isn't about me being chatty. I just think it's odd.
That's enough!
You're spraying your saliva all over your food.
Dad, you already spread your saliva all over the table.
My goodness.
Be careful, honey.
Try not to show it in front of the kids.
I'm sorry.
Sun Ju is incredibly quick-witted.
She happened to see the clothes I had bought for Eun A and Eun Hyuk.
And ever since then...
Yes, exactly.
That's why I'm telling you to be careful.
What will you do going forward if you're already being like this?
If Yoo Dong Gu really is in Korea now,
will you walk around in a daze like you did in the past?
No, I won't do that again.
I bet the total distance I've traveled looking for him...
would be enough to cover the circumference of the Earth.
You see, our children are adults now.
They won't believe your lies and let it go...
like they used to when they were little.
We should tell them about Eun A and Eun Hyuk eventually,
but not yet.
Okay.
Until we know everything for sure... No.
Until I find Yoo Dong Gu and meet Eun A and Eun Hyuk,
I'll do my best to stay calm and keep my composure.
Don't you think Mom was acting weird earlier?
I'm telling you. There's something about those clothes.
What they said didn't match up, and they were both flustered.
What are you, Sherlock Holmes?
Mom said no.
Why are you doubting her?
Do I have to be Sherlock Holmes to doubt what others say?
I can do it too.
My intuition is telling me...
- that it's something important... - That's enough. Get out.
Okay? You said you were going out to see a friend.
Stop bugging me.
Do you think everyone has nothing to do, like you?
You're so full of yourself.
My friend and I will bad-mouth her boss today.
We'll bad-mouth you too. Brace yourself.
When women are angry, nothing can stop them.
My goodness.
They're meeting up to bad-mouth others?
What an unproductive thing to do.
What? Your brother?
You want to bad-mouth your brother with me?
Yes. You bad-mouth your boss, and I'll bad-mouth my brother.
We will chew them to pieces.
It's better to have more people to bad-mouth.
But your brother helped me...
when Si Heon filed the complaint against me,
and he gave us those movie tickets too.
I think he's so nice.
You always fall for materialistic things.
You like everyone who gives you things.
Hey, isn't it better than people who never give you anything?
Anyway, what's your boss like? Is he super rude?
Gosh, don't even get me started.
He's arrogant. It's his way or the highway.
But there's something even more surprising.
What?
My boss is that pretentious guy.
Shai Lutton!
What? Shai Lutton?
That jerk you met at the theater?
Yes. On my first day, I saw that rude jerk...
walking toward me saying that he was the director.
My gosh. That's nuts.
So? What happened after that?
What do you think?
I considered quitting on my first day,
but I couldn't afford to quit, so I decided to stay.
Even the name, Heuk Film, is so lame.
No wonder they hired such a jerk as a director.
It looks like Cheong Film is thriving, just like its name.
Except for one obnoxious jerk.
Hey.
"Cheong Film?"
Did you know someone at Cheong Film?
What? No, I don't know anyone there.
It's a big company,
so I heard things from various people.
Right, of course. Cheong Film is a big company.
And they're very famous.
Right. Anyway, I'm worried about your future.
How are you going to work with such a jerk?
I'm worried too.
I didn't know my future would look so grim.
Sun Woo, I have some news for you.
You'll be very surprised too.
What now?
What's all this fuss about?
You know, my friend's boss who's been stressing her out.
Turns out, he's the pretentious jerk who likes luxury brands.
"The pretentious jerk?"
Oh, the guy who hit on your friend...
at the theater and showed off his expensive clothes?
You said your friend followed him.
Maybe they're dating.
She's not crazy. Why would she date such a jerk?
I know she has bad taste in men, but still.
Anyway, what does this have to do with me?
Why should I be surprised?
You're heartless.
Someone you helped in the past now has to work for a jerk,
and you don't care?
This is why I told her not to apply to Cheong Film.
Because you're so mean.
What?
Your friend applied to Cheong Film?
For the admin assistant position?
Yes. She's acting like she never applied,
but she probably didn't pass the screening stage.
So she had to look for a different job...
and met that jerk again.
Thank goodness.
Had she joined my team,
you would've really become like Hong Gil Dong.
Hong Gil Dong?
He couldn't call his father and brother his family.
Do you hate it that much when people find out I'm your sister?
Of course, I hate it.
Nothing good will come out of it.
Someone's acquaintances, friends, and sons.
All they do is come to me for favors.
Every single one of them.
You're talking as though you're the president or something.
Are you on Director Bong Joon Ho's level?
In any case,
I really don't want anyone to find out about our relationship,
so keep your lips sealed.
If people heard you, they'd think we're having an affair.
Gosh, okay.
From now on, I'll call you Hong Gil Dong.
No, Kang Gil Dong!
Get out.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
I wonder if that show host will be here.
I need to apologize to her, but she hasn't dropped by yet.
- My gosh. - Hello.
You're the cafe owner. What's up?
Do you need something from us?
Well...
The thing is,
I offended your daughter,
so I owe her an apology.
I was wondering when she'd drop by.
You offended her?
What exactly did you do that you seem so worried?
Well... My son, Ga Ram, called your daughter "Ma'am."
So while apologizing for that,
I said by mistake...
that she was nasty... I mean, ill-tempered.
What? What did you say?
You told my daughter that she was nasty...
and ill-tempered?
Well, my daughter isn't exactly a softie,
but "nasty?"
Wait, hold on.
So the kid who called Eun A "Ma'am"...
was your son?
Sorry? Oh, yes.
I guess you didn't know.
That little kid from your cafe also called me "Grandpa."
My gosh.
So he called you "Grandpa" and called Eun A "Ma'am?"
Goodness. That kid made us look so old.
At this rate, he'll even call Eun Sung "Ma'am" and you, "Granny."
No, please don't get the wrong idea. My son just didn't know.
He didn't know? Don't give me that.
When I told him to call me "Mister," not "Grandpa,"
he said, "I call my dad's friends 'Mister.'"
Then he asked me, "Are you friends with my dad's friends?"
- What? - My goodness.
That kid is incredibly logical and smart.
Go away.
We won't accept apologies from a man who thoughtlessly runs his mouth.
My gosh. I guess you think you look very young and youthful.
You'd better watch what you say.
I will.
What?
Gosh. This was not my plan.
I just wanted to apologize.
Why do I feel like I now have more to apologize for?
Gosh.
Yes, Mr. Kim. What's up?
Sir, I believe the person who contacted us...
really knew Yoo Dong Gu.
What? You're sure?
They sent us a photo, and it wasn't edited in any way.
Okay, all right. I'll check.
We looked for him for 30 years but couldn't find him.
At last...
Gosh, was the dinner too salty?
Why am I so thirsty?
Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Honey.
You should see this.
Yoo Dong Gu?
How did you get this?
I'm convinced...
that Yoo Dong Gu is in Korea.
What?
So, Eun A and Eun Hyuk are in Korea too?
What?
It's true that Yoo Dong Gu returned to Korea 17 years ago?
Yes. The photo that person sent turned out to be real.
He really knew Yoo Dong Gu.
What? Okay, then...
what did Dong Gu look like in that photo?
- Are the kids in the photo too? - No.
Just Dong Gu and his friends.
But there were kids' clothes hung on the clothesline behind them.
Kids' clothes?
Yes. They must've grown a lot.
It looked like they were a handspan taller...
compared to the last time I saw them.
I suppose it's only natural since three years have passed.
So what's Ki Seok going to do now?
Now that we know for sure he's in Korea,
Ki Seok will look for a private detective or a detective agency.
Oh, really?
Jung Sook.
I have a feeling...
that I can really meet Eun A and Eun Hyuk this time.
We haven't found them yet...
because we looked for them in the Philippines...
when they were here.
But now, we know they're here.
Don't you think we have a high likelihood of finding them now?
Yes, definitely.
My heart is already racing, thinking I could meet my kids.
Gosh, I've been through this several times.
Why can't I calm down?
All right, Jung Ae. Try to calm down. We'll talk later.
What should I do? What if she really finds them?
Why did they come back to Korea?
He said he'd never come back. Why did he come back?
If she finds out what I did...
Hold on. I should be on the move as soon as the sun rises.
I must find them first, no matter what.
You need me to find someone?
Yes.
His name is Yoo Dong Gu.
He had moved to the Philippines 30 years ago.
He moved back to Korea 17 years ago.
His children's names are Yoo Eun A and Yoo Eun Hyuk.
Is it all the info you have on him?
Oh, I'm not 100 percent sure about this,
but his wife's name is probably Ko Chun Young.
He had moved to the Philippines by himself,
but I heard later on that Ko Chun Young followed him there.
You see, finding someone may sound easy, but it really isn't.
In dramas, they make it look so easy,
but that's not reality.
I see. Then is there a possibility that you won't find him?
If we're lucky, we could find him in a few months.
However, it can take years.
And there's a chance we won't find him.
Also, if he'd moved to a foreign country,
all his documents in Korea...
could be gone from the system by now.
Oh, I see.
So it's harder to find someone who'd moved to a foreign country.
This is the best detective agency in the country, right?
- That's right. - Then...
if you can't find him,
is it safe to assume that he'll never be found?
Sorry? Do you want to find this man...
or not?
Well...
I do want to find him,
but I'm also kind of hoping he wouldn't...
Oh, hello.
Yes, hello.
You must be the new member of Team "Hidden Memory."
Yes, I joined the team about a week ago.
Oh, that reminds me. The hard drive or whatever it's called.
What happened to that thing?
Gosh, it was covered in coffee.
Was it totally broken?
My gosh. Yoon A seemed very worried.
Pardon me? "Hard drive?" What do you mean?
The thing that was on Ms. Shin's desk.
It looked like a cell phone.
Yoon A dropped it with the coffee.
Isn't that why she asked me about it, panicking?
She probably got in trouble for it.
Sorry?
So that was Yoon A's fault?
Oh, no. I'm so forgetful.
I forgot to bring the rags.
My goodness.
Good morning!
- Hello. - Eun Sung, you're early...
as always.
Our new hire is a morning fairy.
An early morning fairy.
Yoon A, could you spare me a moment?
What's with her?
Do you owe her an apology for something?
No.
I didn't do anything.
Eun Sung, what's up?
Telling your senior colleague to come and go. It's not nice.
Yoon A.
The external hard drive with all those movie files.
Wasn't it your fault that the files got erased?
What are you talking about?
I never even saw the external hard drive.
The cleaning lady told me everything just now.
She said you dropped the hard drive with your coffee...
and broke it.
That's...
Eun Sung, I'm sorry.
It wasn't intentional.
I simply missed my chance to tell you.
I only found out later that it was my fault.
Thanks to you, who managed to get it all sorted out,
nothing happened.
So can we let it go just this once...
Yoon A, that's just wrong.
Whether or not something had happened,
you should've come forward and told us what you did.
Instead of dumping it all on a junior colleague,
you should've admitted that it was your fault and fixed it.
I'm sorry. I really mean it.
So are you going to tell everyone?
Eun Sung, please let it go just this once.
If people find out, I'll be too embarrassed to work here.
Ha Young and I joined the company together.
Every day, she tells me that I'm so bad at my job...
and picks on me, saying every movie I work on fails.
So if she finds out about this...
I'll have nowhere to go.
No one will hire me.
Then I'll let it go just this once.
Really? Will you really forgive me?
Thanks, Eun Sung.
The person you should be thanking...
is Jae Jun, not me.
If it weren't for Jae Jun,
both you and I could be in deep trouble now.
Jae Jun?
What did Jae Jun do?
- Oh, hello. - Good morning, Eun Sung.
Well, Jae Jun.
I understand that you don't want anyone to find out,
but Yoon A already knows too,
so I should say this.
What are you talking about?
You uploaded those movie files that I'd lost.
Thank you so much.
I should've thanked you sooner,
but it didn't look like you wanted anyone to find out,
so I pretended not to know about it even after receiving so much help.
Movie files?
I wasn't the one who uploaded them.
The last two, right?
What? You weren't the one who uploaded those files?
No, it wasn't me.
I totally assumed you uploaded them.
So I was very impressed.
What? Then who did it?
Good morning.
- Director Kang. - Hello.
Oh!
It must've been Director Kang.
Those movies...
were produced by the company that produced his debut film.
What? It was Director Kang?
Director Kang, were you the one who uploaded those movies?
Yes, it was me.
I personally know the company that produced those movies.
Then why didn't you tell me?
All this time, I thought Jae Jun did it.
Why is that important?
It doesn't matter who uploaded them.
The problem has been solved, so it's all good.
No, that's not true.
I at least should've known who helped me.
Had I known, I would've never told you...
not to cross the line or judge others.
I wouldn't have crossed the line like that.
Now, you're reflecting on yourself and regret what you did?
It's not about that.
I'm just saying I admit what I did was wrong...
and that I want to apologize to you.
But before you went ahead and helped me,
I wish you had asked me for my opinion first.
Then was I supposed to do nothing, knowing you were...
meeting a stranger alone at night?
Where is he?
It's not like we met for the first time at Cheong Film.
There's nothing wrong with me being considerate of you.
What?
They knew each other in the past?
No.
We said we'd put the past behind us...
and go back to being complete strangers.
Right, we said that.
But what can I do? I can't stop worrying about you.
Sorry?
Did you two know each other in the past?
You said you decided to put the past behind you.
You can't fool me.
Director Kang, you must be seeing someone.
Dad, I saw you desperately chasing after a lady...
while checking some security footage.
Oh, that woman.
What? What is this?
Who is that lady?
Why is Dad lying?
Excuse me.
Oh, you're that lady from...
