(Episode 108)
Forget Spotty.
Just get Cha Taejin fired.
I think that would be best for us both.
That's why I wanted to see you.
Something interesting happened at Chamsuri Station.
But to use that to fire Cha Taejin,
I think I will need your help.
Such ill-fated ties...
Turns out I know the wife of Bong Yunjae,
who died in that accident.
Officer Moo Gunghwa.
We started off on the wrong foot.
She was in admin but took the test to become
a cop after her husband died.
Man...
She's something else.
She staged a solo protest in front of the precinct.
If she senses the slightest problem,
she's not one to back down.
And she happens to be working with Cha Taejin.
We need to get rid of Cha Taejin ASAP.
He's annoying as a fish bone stuck in my throat.
Seeing Officer Choi's face made me feel much better.
The situation was nagging at me as it reminded me
of what happened to Suhyeok.
You'll be rewarded.
Me?
They say good deeds are rewarded.
But how did you come up with such an idea?
Isn't it something anyone would think of?
Sure, sure.
That's actually better.
It wouldn't have suited you
to say you didn't do much.
What?
Anyway, I was taken aback.
I didn't know you'd step in to help like this.
How badly did you think of me?
What would I have thought of you
except for exactly what I'd seen?
You didn't seem interested in others.
I must still not know you well.
Did you think you knew everything about me?
Do you have time later?
I'd like to talk.
Goodness me.
You didn't have to bring all this.
I can manage just fine,
and the housekeeper's here during the day.
You'll collapse too if you keep
cooking and delivering food every day.
This is shiitake mushroom salad.
What's wrong?
Are you...
Oh, no.
No?
Maybe it's because I've been worried about Dad,
but I've been having digestive issues.
But of course.
You're such a good daughter.
Don't say that.
I'm not a good daughter.
Not by a long shot.
Bora.
The porridge seems to have cooled.
Dad, I'm sorry.
Please be understanding of me.
Does Suhyeok know you're here?
No.
I didn't tell him since he seemed busy.
He's swamped due to a contest and such.
Now that I think about it, apart from Chuseok,
I'd never invited him over for a meal.
I'm a terrible mother-in-law.
It's fine.
No, it's not.
Though men may not say it,
they long remember if their in-laws mistreat them.
Later.
After Dad recovers.
That must be Dohyeon.
You're here.
Yes. I should go.
Mom, I'll get going.
Did something happen between you two?
Bora's acting strangely.
Did you fight?
Why? Because of your dad?
Why are you so interested?
Dohyeon.
Didn't I tell you to keep
our interactions to a bare minimum?
Don't poke your nose where it doesn't belong.
Nurse Dad properly instead and then leave.
What do I do now?
I can't live without Suhyeok anymore,
but must I return home like Dad said?
All the video files are attached, right?
Of course.
I'll hit send now.
Okay.
Wow. We managed to get it done.
I wasn't sure we'd meet the deadline.
Me neither.
Now that it's done,
I feel strangely empty.
I really hope we do well this time.
We will.
Good job.
You too.
You pulled it off as a newlywed
and even amid a tiff with Bora.
Since this is done,
how about buying beer?
Sure, let's do that.
Call Bora.
Yeah?
Hi, Bora.
I was actually just about to call you.
Yes, we just submitted it.
So Juyeong and I want to have some beer.
Do you want to come here?
Or should we come to you?
I'm sorry.
I'll have to pull an all-nighter
on the cookbook I'm working on.
Could you tell Mother for me?
I'll come to you.
I'm sorry, but the beer will have to wait.
What's the matter with them?
It's really bugging me.
They were so in love.
Aren't you hungry?
Should I make you something?
Come sit.
We should really talk.
I can no longer pretend
nothing's wrong.
Tell me the truth. What's wrong?
None of your excuses will work today,
so don't try to avoid this anymore.
I'm having a hard time.
No. Honestly speaking,
I'm having a very hard time.
Bora.
So couldn't you please help me?
I want to be more comfortable.
Tell me what I can do.
I'll do whatever you say.
Go ahead.
Let's
leave.
What?
Dohyeon said he'd arrange for us to study abroad.
So you can study more about advertising,
and I can study what I want to too.
It'd be great.
Studying overseas?
I've long given up on furthering my education.
And I no longer think it's needed for advertising.
I want us to spend some time alone
where I can feel free.
Jin Bora.
It's what I desperately want,
so can't you say yes?
I don't know what to say.
This is beyond my wildest imagination.
So that's what's been bothering you?
Was it that hard staying at our house?
Yes, that's right.
I tried my best to adjust,
but I just couldn't.
Does that make me a bad person?
Frankly, I can't say yes right away.
I'll think about it.
Let's talk about this later.
Suhyeok. Suhyeok.
Should we get more food?
No. I can't even drink anyway.
Go ahead. What is it?
Why are you so hesitant?
Is it something hard to talk about?
About Uri's dad...
Can you tell me more about the accident?
I don't really want to talk about it.
It still enrages me to think back on it.
I think it was warm...
It was spring.
He had the following day off,
so we were planning to go to Gyeongju.
So I packed for the both of us and called him
to see when he was coming.
He said he'd be right home after dropping off
a drunk driver's car at the station.
Then bam.
I heard something crash into his car.
I ran over a few hours later
upon hearing that scumbag had confessed.
He apologized, saying he was drunk
and made a mistake,
but he didn't look sorry at all.
Spotty turned himself in?
Yes.
He came clean about everything nonchalantly.
So very nonchalantly.
I thought he'd gotten 3 years,
but I didn't even want to know.
Alas, I ended up running into him again though.
But why are you suddenly asking me about this?
Like you said, I'm going back to the very start,
the first crime Cheon Yangbae committed.
It must've been very hard on you.
Yes, it was.
This happened not even 3 months into our marriage.
I couldn't believe it at first
that my husband was suddenly gone.
When I think about that even now,
it feels like a midsummer night's dream.
I suppose it's always been like that for me.
Love always came and went like a dream.
Moo Gunghwa.
Wow. This udon's really delicious.
Wow. Moo Gunghwa's so cool.
Did you say cool?
Could you say that if it were your daughter?
A woman must know to be a little uppity like me,
yet she risked her life for him.
It's so frustrating.
My son says women like her are all the rage these days.
He says men are turned off
by the coy types.
Moo Gunghwa knows what's up.
I wish her efforts weren't in vain.
What do you mean by that?
Frankly, what better guy is there for Gunghwa?
Her heart's with him if she risked her life.
So what can she do but marry him?
Yes, that's true,
but his family's a big headache.
From his grandmother and strangely ditzy stepmom
to the mean, conniving sister...
Alas, love causes so much grief.
What was Moo Gunghwa thinking?
Are you enjoying this? Huh?
I'm off.
I'm home.
You go, Moo Gunghwa.
- Bye. / - Bye.
You talked to Suja about me again, right?
I did. So what?
What held you up for so long?
I had to discuss something.
With whom?
Why are you being like this?
Good grief. You sure made a clean break.
Did you risk your life against thugs
because you'd gotten over him?
It's not that. It was a very dangerous situation.
That's what I mean. Why'd you jump into
a dangerous situation like that?
Was I to sit back and watch
when my partner was in danger?
Geez. So you go around saving each other.
I see right through you.
But what's the point yammering about this?
One must go with the flow.
Like Suja said, what can I do if you love him?
And from what I saw, Taejin still loves you too.
It'll happen if it's meant to be.
And if it doesn't, too bad.
Goodness me. Goodness me.
You must be careful.
You can't sleep at the wheel.
And come to the restaurant after noon tomorrow.
I'll do all the prep work.
No. It'll be too tiring for you alone.
It won't be tiring at all.
You're the one who's tired.
Cha Huijin, your sudden change makes me
feel weird.
Why? Don't you like it?
It's not that I don't like it.
I feel like newlyweds again.
We can reclaim the love we felt then.
Okay.
Take it easy, Baekho.
Yes, yes. I should go. I should go.
Yes.
You're so silly.
I'm off.
Sleep tight, okay?
Spotty turned himself in?
You're late.
Why are you still up?
I couldn't sleep.
Suhyeok's late tonight.
He's busy because of a contest.
Do you want to have tea with me?
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Why?
I wonder what I'm doing with myself.
Fact is, he was in danger recently.
Inspector Cha?
Yes.
As soon as I found out,
I found myself unconsciously heading toward him,
worried the bad guys would hurt him.
I shielded him even though
they were wielding pool cues.
I have no idea what I was thinking.
That means you still love Inspector Cha.
I thought I'd made a clean break, but I must
have a long way to go.
Then why don't you tell him
and start over again?
He'd feel very uncomfortable
if he knew I still had feelings for him.
He's not one to backtrack on a decision.
He might be feeling the same way you are.
I'm telling you it's over.
And I'm perfectly happy right now.
I wish you could really be happy even if it means
giving you all my happiness.
Do you know you've been acting strange?
What do you mean?
What you just said, for one.
Suhyeok seems very distraught.
Can't you just tell me what it is?
It's just something between Suhyeok and me.
You need not worry about it.
Attention, everyone.
There's big news.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
What's going on?
Do you know how much we've raised?
Over $20,000?
Higher.
$25,000?
Come on.
It can't be over $30,000.
Bingo.
Good for you, Officer Choi!
Thank you, Officer Moo.
We might raise the full settlement amount.
I know.
But then again, we can all relate.
The entire force of 110,000 has experienced this.
Whoa. What's going on
that everyone looks so happy?
Sir, we got over $30,000 in Officer Choi's
fundraiser account.
What? Really?
I feel great. It's my treat today.
What are you getting us?
The red bean cake lady's out front.
Go get 5 cakes.
Don't be such a cheapskate.
A whole bag per person.
You always show up at the wrong time.
Fine then.
A bag per person.
Here.
You can't get red bean cakes with a credit card.
Oh, right.
I'll go.
No, I'll go.
Red bean cakes are my treat.
Okay. You're his former classmate after all.
Run along.
Yes, sir.
Here.
Luckily, he's still at the same number.
But why did you want the witness' number?
Officer Moo told me about the accident yesterday,
and there was something odd.
What?
She said Spotty turned himself in
within a few hours
of the hit-and-run.
He turned himself in?
He wasn't caught at the scene?
That's right.
It seems so out of character.
I know.
It doesn't sound right.
Don't say anything to Officer Moo yet.
She's very tenderhearted.
I don't want her to worry
over something we have no proof of.
Inspector Cha,
I wasn't going to say this.
I'm really not someone who meddles
in matters that are romantic in nature.
But Inspector Cha, Officer Moo...
What I mean is... You know?
Um... Do you have special feelings for her?
I guess you are someone who meddles.
Wait...
So it's true.
Thank you very much.
I'd pleaded with Chairman Jin several times.
Dad would never do it.
He'd never sustain a loss of even a penny.
Plus, there was a little issue my dad had with you.
Yes.
I didn't deal with that properly,
and I feel bad about it to this day.
Anyway, I won't forget this.
There's no need for that.
I just want you to do a little something for me.
Did you go somewhere?
I met with the director of Hanju Bank.
Chairman Jin doesn't like him.
Ms. Heo pleaded on his behalf several times,
but he flatly refused.
I know that.
But I need to use him for something.
That aside, you have press contacts, right?
Why do you ask?
A Chamsuri officer
is in a bind after a little snafu,
and defender of justice Cha Taejin
has stepped in to help his subordinate.
We should let the world know about his good deed.
What are you trying to do?
I'm going to make Cha Taejin a hero.
I'll turn him into the world's best cop and then
cause his fall from grace with a corruption scandal.
Look, look.
Haechan's not doing this haphazardly.
Look how systematic he is.
See? He noted how much salt
and how much sugar he put in.
Haechan, are you getting somewhere?
I tried this and that,
but it's not perfect yet.
Dad, can I practice here after
my cooking lesson?
Sure, sure.
I'm off.
Okay, okay.
Mind the cars.
How can he be so happy?
He's wasting his intelligence.
You need intelligence to be a good cook.
Huijin, trust me.
You won't regret setting Haechan down this path.
I hope so, but...
What's this?
What I've made so far as a rent-a-driver.
Can I really take this?
Of course. I earned this
by working my butt off for you.
Kang Baekho.
Why don't we go to the movies tomorrow?
The movies?
It's been a long time since we went.
I got tickets for Mother and Father as well.
Oh, my. What's this?
Movie tickets.
We're going tomorrow,
and we got you tickets as well.
There's a movie about a beautiful love story.
Romantic drama is the way to go in the fall.
Really?
Thank you so much, Baekho.
I don't even know when I last went.
I love romantic dramas.
Wait. What should I wear tomorrow?
It's just the neighborhood theater.
But still...
Shouldn't we take Mother as well?
No, no.
Theaters are very dark.
What if she slips and falls?
It's too dangerous.
Grandma doesn't like movies anyway.
She likes TV soap operas.
And she doesn't like crowds,
so she doesn't even go to malls.
Yes. Mom won't care for it.
She'll say it's too loud and distracting.
Really? I wonder why.
She'd change her mind if she went.
They just assume without asking me.
Mother's so excited
over nothing.
I know.
She should've treated herself once in a while.
Movies don't cost a lot.
Loan sharks were after her for over a decade.
How could she have had the wherewithal for movies?
Really?
I feel bad for her.
We should get her movie tickets once in a while.
Yes, let's do that.
That's not too hard.
Why do you look so pretty all of sudden?
I've always been pretty.
Yes. But you look even prettier
because you're being nice.
Are you happy?
Are you going out again?
Yes. I have to see someone.
I wish you'd sleep after having this.
You look so tired.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Oh?
Truth is, Baekho got us movie tickets.
I see.
Who are you seeing?
Is it Officer Moo by any chance?
Mom.
I think you two should get back together.
Your dad's changed a lot.
He doesn't lose it anymore when I say I'd like
to see you get back together.
No one here will adamantly oppose it anymore.
Oh, my. I must have blabbered again.
Drink this before you go, okay?
Here.
Drink up.
I'm off.
Okay. Don't be too late.
Why are you out in the cold?
Where are you going this late?
Something came up.
Go on in. You'll catch a cold.
Okay.
I was just about to anyway.
I'm off.
He used to come to my room and rub my shoulders
when he got home,
but after what happened with that girl,
he no longer comes to my room.
Mom, why are you crying?
Thank you for making time to see me.
You're welcome.
But it was so long ago that
I'm not sure if I can help.
Do you remember him?
He caused the crash and then ran.
I don't know. I'm not sure.
He's short
and has a large birthmark on his face.
I only got a quick glance.
Plus, it was late at night, and he was
wearing a hat.
I see.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm sorry I couldn't help.
Wait.
Did you say he's short?
Yes.
That can't be.
The man I was saw was tall.
He was a tall, slim young man.
That's how I testified at the police precinct.
He was tall?
What's going on with the news story?
Over $100,000 was raised,
so it made for a good news piece.
Have them really build him up while they're at it.
Aren't you that little girl?
Is something wrong?
She gave up everything for you.
I don't want to be pushed around like this.
You'd better make the right choice.
Did you look into it?
The witness said he'd testified it was a tall man,
but the statement says it was short man.
You ruined your own son.
Cheon Yangbae, if it wasn't you, who was it?
