Queen of Tears (2024) s01e09 Episode Script

QUEEN OF TEARS
WHERE IS THE MONEY?
WE DEMAND OUR LAND COMPENSATION!
What's going on?
Why are they acting up
when we're the victims here?
Land compensation?
All hell will break loose if we go home.
Let's go back.
Where can we go if not home?
We can't go to a hotel.
Hey, Grace.
Ma'am, the back gate is empty.
You can come this way.
You're the best. Okay.
Turn back. Take the back gate.
So? Are they coming?
Let's see what you can do.
"A conglomerate family
becomes dirt-poor and gets kicked out."
Here they come!
What are you doing? Open the gate.
Ma'am, you need to step out for a bit.
What is it? I'm tired.
Are you aware that Chairman Hong
gave Ms. Moh the power of attorney
to manage everything in Queens Town
during his absence?
So?
Is she kicking us out?
Not really.
Given how this place is swarming
with reporters and protesters,
she wants you to lie low
until the dust settles.
Does she have the right to do that?
We're all residents here.
Shut up, will you?
Don't butt in when the adults are talking.
What did you just say?
Damn it.
You don't get it, do you?
Wait. Hey.
Company vehicles, drivers,
phones, and credit cards
are no longer yours.
Your company security cards
and key cards won't work either.
What do you mean? It's my house!
Call the police, honey!
Sure, call them.
The reporters would love it.
Given our history together,
I've packed up some essentials for you.
So get going.
-What's that?
-Damn it.
Get in! There are cameras
on the other side!
Isn't this absurd, Hyun-woo?
How can Seul-hee
lock the doors and kick us out
of our father's house?
You can assert your rights
as residents of the house.
But you must file a lawsuit,
and it'll take some time.
But the biggest issue is
the chairman included a convertible
rights clause in the contract
and put his family as joint surety.
So your real estate, stocks,
and personal bank accounts
are all frozen.
Gosh, Father.
Hold on. Is this true, honey?
I didn't know either. I'm flustered too.
Lip balm, anyone?
Lip balm, my foot.
It's best that the media
doesn't post photos of you.
I'll take you somewhere safe,
and we can think of our next plan there.
Why has Soo-cheol been so quiet?
Hey, Soo-cheol! Say something!
So your wife, Da-hye,
was in on this too. Am I right?
What did I say?
Geon-u doesn't take after him at all!
Come on.
By the way, where are we going?
Well…
-What is that?
-What's that?
What?
-Who's blinding us?
-Who's that?
-Wait.
-Who's that?
This is private property.
-What?
-Is that Hyun-woo?
Who?
Hyun-woo.
Hey, Hyun-woo!
I didn't know you were coming.
Dad, it was urgent.
Hey, Hyun-woo. Why weren't you picking up?
Do you not eat well?
You look terrible.
-No, it's--
-Don't be so distraught.
I'm glad you left that crazy family.
Look at what happened to them
after they kicked you out.
Karma will always find its way.
-Hold on--
-You bet.
I was so relieved to hear
that the damn family was ruined.
Serves them right!
Anyway, forget about that sly fox
and live a happy life.
The sly fox is here too.
I see.
You're here too.
It's not just her.
Goodness.
It's your father-in-law. No.
Is it "former father-in-law"?
Anyway… What brings you here?
Hello.
How have you been?
Good.
Say hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
I apologize for coming unannounced.
Don't worry about it.
I'm glad you're here.
Please follow me. This way.
I'm going back to Seoul.
-Hail a cab.
-Mom.
There are no cabs around here
at this hour.
Then I'll find another way,
so do as you please.
Honey.
Honey.
We're already here, though.
I already told you
that I didn't want to come.
Jeez!
What's wrong?
I think she stepped on cow dung.
Mom, don't come. Don't come to me!
Don't come to me either!
Ms. Kim?
That's good.
Hey, Hyeon-tae.
I picked plenty.
How am I to make sense of this?
What do you mean?
Why did Hyun-woo bring his ex-wife
and her family all the way here?
It's similar to Korea.
There may be North and South,
but we're still on the same team
at the Olympics.
What are you saying?
We join hands when there's a common enemy.
Does this mean
they might get back together?
We may be on the same team,
but that doesn't guarantee a unification.
-Let's get ready.
-Okay.
What's wrong?
Thank you for today.
I'll look for a new place
to go to tomorrow.
Nothing will change
overnight.
I know. All the more reason
why we shouldn't stay here.
It'll take some time
until the dust settles.
This is the safest
and the most comfortable place you can be.
Not for me.
I'm at my former in-laws' house.
Not you. Me.
This is comfortable for me.
Let me…
be selfish for now.
I have too much on my plate right now
to worry about you as well.
Don't worry about me.
We're divorced.
Whatever happens to me
or my family
has nothing to do with you.
I'll stop worrying
once you're better.
But for now,
that's impossible.
So please…
understand.
Just…
stay with me.
Do you think being together
in this situation will make us happier?
We'll be less miserable.
Don't think too much for today.
Let's just focus on being less miserable.
I got rid of the chunks. As for the smell…
It'll take some time to dry.
-Just throw them away.
-Goodness.
What for? They look expensive.
Wear these for now.
What about these heels?
Should I throw them away?
So what is it?
Will she get rid of them or not?
They look expensive.
Over 500,000 won.
Five million?
I didn't come here by choice.
Your son was very quick.
He practically kidnapped us.
My late mother
was right.
She said, "You never know
what the future holds."
Who knew we'd meet again
a few days after we bid our last farewell?
My sister is urging us
to stay at her villa in Namhae instead.
We'll leave first thing in the morning.
Sure.
But don't be so confident.
Sir.
Please eat.
Okay.
It's tasty.
Does it suit your taste?
Yes, it's very delicious.
Eat up.
You need to cut down on sodium.
Doctor Yoon will scold you
if he finds out. Don't eat that.
Don't worry.
He hasn't been answering my calls.
I think he blocked me.
Why aren't you eating, Soo-cheol?
I'm sorry.
I'm not hungry.
Do you have water?
Yes, here.
Here you go.
You see…
I only drink sealed water.
Do you have bottled water?
Hey, just drink it.
Yes, we have some at the store.
I'll bring some.
Thank you. I'd prefer mineral water
from the Alps, please.
Sorry? The Alps?
I can't believe you.
I apologize.
He's still immature.
Gosh, that's okay.
We understand.
It doesn't have to be from the Alps.
Germany or Australia is fine.
Fiji is okay too.
We're not that picky.
Yes, I'm fine with them too.
Just drink from the kettle!
I'll take that.
-Gosh.
-No, please.
She doesn't hit me.
Did you see her hit her brother?
I was terrified.
What do you mean? You hit me too.
Hey, my slaps aren't that painful.
But Hae-in was totally--
Should I help?
Gosh.
That's okay.
No, you don't need to help.
You can just rest.
Thank you.
By the way, Hae-in…
Right.
Can I say something?
Even though you two are divorced…
Sure, you can.
Don't take to heart what I said earlier.
Which was?
About you being a sly fox and all.
-Right.
-I never disliked sly foxes.
After all, that was my nickname
in high school.
I look like a fox, you know?
I'd like to apologize
for saying that your family was ruined.
It's true though.
We're done for.
This is a touchy subject.
I know you're divorced,
but did you agree to come here
because you had feelings for each other?
No.
It was an emergency. Nothing more.
Right. You're strangers now.
We're more than that.
But could there be something between you--
No, not at all.
I see.
We wouldn't have divorced
if that was the case.
That's true.
She's right.
So please don't misunderstand, anticipate,
or give meaning to any of this.
I won't. Remember So-yeong?
The principal's daughter?
She recently got a job
at a middle school nearby
and has been asking for Hyun-woo's number.
-But I couldn't tell her.
-You can.
Can I?
But then again,
I didn't need to ask for permission.
Good night then.
I knew it.
They won't get back together.
Hey, I don't want that either.
She's so rude.
She didn't bother to hear me out
and kept cutting me off.
Jeez, that sly fox.
She shouldn't have come.
This is our annex.
We used to live here
before Hyeon-tae and Mi-seon
got married.
We heated up the floor.
I'm sorry about everything.
Goodness.
Please don't apologize.
Even neighbors help out
when times are rough.
But we
used to be family.
Hyun-woo told me
that it's a secret that you're here.
I already warned the villagers
not to use the internet.
There are no CCTV cameras around,
and barely anyone uses a smartphone here.
So don't you worry
and have a good night's sleep.
Thank you so much.
Gosh, it's nothing.
You can wash up in here.
Where's the tub?
There is none.
But here's the shower.
Where can I take a bath?
You can't.
-What about my bath bomb?
-Don't use it.
You can use this towel.
BAEK HO-YEOL'S FIRST BIRTHDAY
Didn't you say
your nephew's name was Ho-yeol?
Yes, Baek Ho-yeol.
This "baby Ho-yeol" can't possibly be
the boy I saw earlier, right?
I see.
Right. He used to be so tiny.
He was so adorable. Yes, this is him.
So it's the same person.
Then how old is this towel?
Gosh.
What's wrong? Do you want a new one?
Hyun-woo.
Do you know
what's even more unbelievable
than this eight-year-old towel?
It's that
Da-hye and Geon-u have left me.
And that Yoon Eun-sung,
that bastard deceived me!
What's going on?
Where is everyone?
Hello.
Where's Hae-in's family?
I wouldn't know.
I'm sure they're somewhere.
Why did you do it?
Did you want them to stay then?
How can we possibly live
under the same roof
as those we stole from?
It's not over yet.
They'll try to find your weakness
and retaliate.
You should've just kept them close--
Don't you…
just want to keep Hae-in close?
Forget her.
You will do so eventually.
Don't bother regretting it.
I've lived here for 25 years,
but this is the first time I get to pick
my own wine.
Let's enjoy what we have from now on.
Okay?
Remember what you said
when you sent me away?
Don't forget.
I love you the most.
So I'll stay strong and endure it
even when I miss you
and want to see you.
Just because I love you.
And you kept your word.
You were pretty good at it.
You were never curious about
how your young son was doing abroad.
You never bothered to call.
You really endured it all.
But, you see,
I realized that it was a lie…
to endure something out of love.
You can't endure it
if you truly love someone.
What are you getting at?
Are you saying
that you resent me now?
No.
I'm telling you that I'll bring Hae-in
back here at all costs.
I'm not like you.
It drives me crazy to wonder
where she is and what she's doing.
I can't
endure it.
Do you even know
how difficult it was to come this far?
Why do you think I'm doing this?
We don't share the same goal.
So just like
how you chose this family over me,
I can also choose
something else over you.
Check all the hotels and villas.
This is a living hell.
What kind of hell offers us a silk blanket
and a warm floor?
Let him be.
He must be utterly distraught.
He's never slept on hard floors before.
He can only sleep on Spanish royal beds.
Ours looks thicker than his.
Let's switch blankets.
Honey.
What?
Me too.
It's my first time sleeping
on the floor too.
I'm from a rich family too.
Hello?
-Beom-seok.
-I saw the news.
How's everyone?
A total mess.
I feel terrible for Father.
I'm hanging up if this is about him.
Don't be like this.
Remember what he said?
He told me
not to even come to his funeral.
So don't call me even if he passes away.
Come on. Don't be like this.
I resented him when he was healthy.
But now that he's ill,
I feel so guilty.
For what?
Maybe everything would've been okay
had I treated Seul-hee better.
Maybe she was livid
because I mistreated her.
About ten years ago,
I threw a huge fit when Father told me
he wanted her to be his legal wife.
So he gave up on that idea.
Maybe she held a grudge
and schemed everything.
This stupid ring. It's nothing.
I should've just let her have it.
Should I give it back to her?
Should I give it to her right now?
Beom-ja.
It feels like I'm to blame
for what happened to Father.
Why are you crying?
Did your husband leave you?
-No.
-Then, are your parents ill?
Yes…
My father is sick.
Oh, dear.
It's normal to feel guilty
when your parent falls ill.
Cry.
Let it all out
and treat him better from now on.
Everything will be fine.
Thank you.
Mom!
Mom!
Goodness, what do I do?
What's the matter?
There's this lunatic
who calls me Mom and follows me around.
What?
Can you tell him that you're my daughter?
Okay.
Mom.
It's too late to be out.
Excuse me. This is my mom.
-So go on your way.
-What?
I'm her daughter,
so leave.
Aren't you from Seoul?
She's my mom.
No, she's mine!
Mom, aren't you going to watch
the soap opera?
The soap opera?
Well, I can't skip out on that.
Let's go, my son.
The soap opera.
What was that?
Jeez.
MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE
Hyun-woo and I have similar tastes.
Are you sleeping?
I'm about to.
Why?
I need to go to work early tomorrow,
so I won't be able to see you…
Going to work early tomorrow.
When will you be coming home…
Okay.
Should I take tomorrow off?
Can you just take tomorrow off?
Good night.
I'm going to listen to the songs
on your MP3 before I sleep.
Oh, that? How are the songs?
They're all oldies.
I like them.
They're all my favorite songs.
That MP3 isn't mine.
-Then?
-I picked it up in the past.
I couldn't find the owner,
so I kept it with me all along.
Where did you find it?
At my high school.
On the field.
Didn't you go
to Hanil Foreign Language High School?
Yes, I picked it up on my first day there.
What?
So this was mine?
Wait.
That was
Hyun-woo?
Unbelievable.
I mean…
Was he born
to love me or something?
He fell for me in that brief moment,
so he kept this all this time.
He'll be so shocked
if he finds out that the girl he fell for
was me.
But why do you still have it?
She must've been so pretty.
What…
What is it?
I don't…
remember.
You don't?
Of course not.
That was years ago.
Exactly.
The fact that you still kept this
all these years must mean
you couldn't get her out of your head.
She must've been gorgeous.
Come on. It's not like that.
I can't even remember
if the person was male,
female, a teacher, a student,
or a security guard.
I can't remember a thing.
Then why still keep it?
I'm not keeping it.
I just stashed it away.
Okay. You can go.
Go. Go sleep.
What is it this time?
The curtain.
Make sure you draw it.
This room is facing east,
so it gets pretty bright in the morning.
Okay, so leave.
Should I help?
Will you?
I'm going to make some japchae.
Can you chop these carrots for me?
Okay.
Sweetie, be careful
not to chop your fingers.
You need to julienne it.
Exactly how thin
do you want me to chop them?
Well… It's…
Let me show you.
-Mother.
-Yes?
You're incredible.
What's so incredible about this?
How could you say that? This is like
modern art.
Is that so?
Goodness.
That's a new one.
You're making japchae, right?
What else do you need to do?
Next…
I need to cook some eggs.
-How exactly do you do that?
-The eggs?
It's a cakewalk. Should I show you?
I'm excited.
You're so incredible.
I can use both hands.
Goodness, Mother.
You're truly amazing.
Am I? Should I give it a spin too?
A spin?
I was just joking.
Why the change of heart?
You said your villa was vacant.
What's wrong? Is your husband against it?
In case the reporters find out?
He's unbelievable.
Who helped him
whenever his business was failing?
How could he do this
to my husband of all people?
Forget it.
Unbelievable.
Here you are.
I was looking everywhere for you.
Why me?
They're clean now.
They don't smell at all.
Is that so?
-Have them if you want.
-Really?
But they're extremely expensive.
It's okay. They're yours.
Then why don't you let me do your hair?
I'm very skilled.
What kind of hairstyle do you want?
What can you do?
Everything.
I used to work
in Cheongdam-dong, you know?
Mi-seon, what is going on?
This is the best twist ever
since The Sixth Sense.
Even my palms are sweaty.
-Hey--
-You bad-mouthed that sly fox.
Then I heard she suddenly appeared.
That only happens in movies or dramas.
This is more thrilling
than any drama ending.
-Yes.
-So what happened?
Guys, let's talk later.
I heard Hae-in's mother is a psychopath.
What do you mean? That's just nonsense.
-Go!
-Wait!
I'm not leaving.
My husband told me everything.
I heard she stepped on dung
the moment she arrived
and cried a river.
It's crazy. How could she step
on dung as soon as she arrived?
Let's be frank.
-Your mom is the one who stepped in dung.
-That's right.
They're former in-laws
who ended things on a bad note.
That dirt-poor family
fled in the middle of the night,
and Ms. Jeon had to take them in.
Yes, I saw the news.
They have nothing to their names now.
Your mom may look tough,
but she's such a softie at heart.
-Yes.
-Thanks.
By the way, isn't that woman so shameless?
How dare she come here
after what she's done?
-Right.
-You know what?
I'd love to see her face just once.
Me too.
What? Is there something on my lips?
Then look.
You wanted to see me, so take a good look.
Our assets are just frozen for now.
We're not dirt-poor.
Though it was late when we arrived,
we didn't flee in the middle of the night.
And we'll be leaving soon.
We're not mooching off of them.
Do you understand?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Jeez.
What do you take me for?
Wait.
Hey.
You didn't have breakfast.
I'm taking these to the orchard.
The cold bean-soup noodles
are tasty and refreshing.
Would you like some?
I don't have carbs during the day.
Jeez. Then when will you have them?
How do you feel about becoming
the youngest chairman?
What's your plan?
Is it any different
from the previous management?
There is rumor of a large-scale
restructuring. Is it true?
How is Chairman Hong doing?
I plan to establish
a corporation in Singapore by 2025
so we can branch out to foreign markets.
It'll cost us
about 140 billion won to establish
and run this corporation
that'll serve as the foundation
for department stores
and supermarkets abroad.
I visited Mr. Song
at the penitentiary and spoke with him.
I don't think he knows
where the chairman's secret fund is.
He created the fund and wired it abroad,
but he doesn't know where it is.
How's that possible?
The chairman's office
manually managed the ledger
and handed it
to the chairman to be reviewed.
The laundering process was complicated
as they went through ten countries.
The last destination
was a bank in Labuan, Malaysia,
but the money wasn't there.
You wanted to see me, Chairman Yoon?
You didn't hesitate
to call me that.
Why should I?
Things have changed.
I'm no longer a part of Queens
or Hae-in's husband.
I see.
But it's a pity.
I feel uncomfortable
that you're still leading our Legal Team.
Of course. I understand.
Mr. Baek.
Drop the act already.
I'll be honest
since you seem to know everything.
I'm still waiting.
I submitted my resume
to Baekhwa, Taepung, Hwang & Kim.
We're still negotiating my salary,
but it's not easy in this field.
It's hard to raise your salary
if you've been on a break.
As you already know,
I didn't receive any alimony.
So I need to make this work.
I only need one month.
Could you please help me out?
So you're looking for a new job?
Correct. And as you know,
I have no access
to the Legal Team's classified documents.
There's nothing to worry about.
You may go.
Where is she?
Hae-in.
Wasn't it you who picked her up yesterday?
So where is she?
I'm afraid
I don't know either.
You picked her up,
but you don't know where she went?
Exactly.
I guess she couldn't trust me.
She took the car
and hasn't been picking up.
Please let me know
if you find her.
Sure.
You're the true owner of this teacup.
It suits you much better.
I love your outfit too.
You look glamorous and elegant.
That's rare.
This is why I haven't been dressing up.
It's easy for me to look glamorous.
Please come by the spa
before I close it down.
Let me take care of you one last time.
Are you closing it down?
Sorry?
Why? Hasn't business been good?
Of course, you should shut it down.
Right?
You've had it for a long time.
Exactly.
I thought I'd grow old
while making others look more youthful.
-That can't happen.
-Right?
Once I take office,
I want to launch a cosmetic line
with products from the department store.
What do you say?
Just like Lafayette or Harrods,
we should give our store
a luxurious reputation--
Wait.
"Take office"?
-What?
-Where?
Aren't I taking over Hae-in's spot?
Would it look too weird
if I took over right away?
Then how about a director first?
What is it?
Close down your spa,
pack up your stuff,
and join Director Jo in the US.
We have too much to lose
if they catch you here.
You can start
a small cosmetic line there if you want.
I'll look for some investors.
You can shut down your business,
move, and go into hiding.
But one thing you can't change
is your child's academy
if you're a parent.
His daughter is a senior.
She's preparing to go
to college by majoring in cello.
I sued you for fraud and violating
the Communications Privacy Act,
but they couldn't send you
the papers since you were gone.
I looked everywhere for you.
So he had this all along.
He must've made a copy.
Who is she?
Soo-cheol, let me reveal the truth
about your former wife, Cheon Da-hye.
It might scare you a bit.
You said you'd get rashes
just eating next to an older woman.
But you see, I'm five years your senior.
Everything about my parents,
their wealth, and my education is fake.
One more. Geon-u isn't your son.
How was it not obvious?
You have sharp features,
while Geon-u's are soft.
How could you not suspect it?
I'm sad to leave you as well.
I'll never meet another man like you.
Are you going to marry me or not?
I said no.
Fine, but give me your gloves then.
You're skittish yet clumsy.
What's my name again?
Cheon Da-hye.
You're rich, but you're not too bright.
Can you promise
that I don't have to marry you?
Yes.
By the way, is that muffler warm?
You should've recognized me
after giving me everything I wanted.
Please give them a round of applause
as they begin their new journey.
They're both good-looking.
Hey.
Don't make me frustrated.
I was so annoyed
when Hae-in refused to listen to me
and chose that guy instead.
You better seduce Soo-cheol
and marry him right away.
All right.
Don't tell him your real name.
Use a fake one.
No, I'm going to use my real name.
By the way, where is he?
Over there.
Don't ever get married.
It's so hectic.
-No way.
-I know.
That's the crybaby that I knew?
He's so tall. Just my type.
No, behind him.
That fool. He hasn't changed.
-Gosh.
-Anyway, eat up since you're here anyway.
Goodbye.
-Sir.
-It's nice to see you.
Where have you been?
I was looking for you.
I'm glad you're here.
Eat up.
But you failed to recognize me.
Hello.
My name is Cheon Da-hye.
"Cheon Da-hye"?
That's a pretty name.
And so is your face.
I see.
You haven't eaten yet.
Let's see…
Forget me
like you have in the past.
Geon-u too.
It won't be hard.
You're not that bright anyway.
Hey.
Why are you crying?
Where will I find Da-hye?
You can't.
She took everything
and probably went into hiding.
No, you're wrong. She forgot something.
What?
Me.
I'm still here.
She used to say
that I was the most precious person.
So where did she go
after leaving me behind?
Gosh, are you up?
Hi, you're up.
Hold on.
Look at this, Geon-u.
It used to be my favorite doll.
But what's the point of doing this now?
The tables have been turned.
-I'll turn them back again.
-But how?
Eun-sung didn't achieve
what he did legally, and I'll prove that.
Fine.
Let's say it was illegal
and we had all the proof.
Filing a suit, attending trials,
suing him again for the stocks…
It'll take at least five years.
-Are you sure?
-I'll take a shortcut.
-Which is?
-Investment fraud.
He schemed a two-trillion investment fraud
from the get-go and lured the family
with a new business idea
to steal their stocks.
They'll get their provisional seizures
back if I can prove it.
But most importantly,
he'll lose his power.
What about the stocks?
The stocks would still be his.
I'm going to use the same tactic he did.
-What are you doing?
-I just have a lot of time.
They should give us new positions.
I feel uneasy here.
I felt bad.
I've never rejected
Mr. Hong's call before.
Don't feel bad.
It's best to cut ties immediately.
Weren't you pretty close
with Ms. Hong though?
Who's that?
-Gosh.
-Gosh.
Do you know why "friendship" and "loyalty"
are abstract nouns?
Because they don't exist.
Secretary Na and Ms. Hong
don't seem to be in touch at all.
She's taking some time off.
She's going to stay
at a farm with her kid.
-And Mr. Baek?
-He has no work these days.
So he's been writing resumes
and attending job interviews too.
I don't want to hear it!
Bring out the executives!
-Arrest them!
-Arrest them!
We demand that Queens
resolve this investment fraud!
Hey, what's your plan?
They look livid.
The legal director is also on their side!
You married into that family!
No, you're wrong.
He's been fired from work and home.
He has no influence whatsoever.
Anyway…
I came here to hear you out.
We've already told our story.
Queens lured us in by offering
to pay five times the market price.
Then they said
the resort complex project fell through
and offered only double?
I think there was a double contract.
-Let me see the contract and--
-Don't be absurd.

BANK PRESIDENT GU BON-JUN
ASSEMBLYMAN HAN
DIRECTOR RYU
I'M IN A MEETING.
I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
Goodness!
What are you doing out here?
You work on the weekends too.
Yes.
The weeds never stop growing.
There's nothing more we can ask for
than some cold makgeolli
and green onion pancakes
after our morning work.
I see.
You're living a great life
surrounded by nature.
I'm envious.
Goodness.
People will laugh if they hear
that a rich family
is envious of some farmers.
By the way, I'm not sure
if you've had makgeolli before.
I did once,
out of curiosity,
back in university 30 years ago.
Then you should have some today.
Goodness.
-Here.
-Goodness.
Thank you.
Okay.
Then…
We need to make a toast,
but what should we say?
How about "Health matters the most"?
We can't say that
since his father is bedridden.
Then how about
"It's wonderful to see you"?
That won't work either
since their current situation
isn't that wonderful.
Let's just
clink our glasses.
But…
Goodness.
Goodness.
Are you okay?
Let's…
Let's drink a bit more.
Don't be silly. We should go home.
No, I won't go back there.
Gosh. Is our house uncomfortable?
I do admit that it's shabbier than--
No, that's not why!
As the head of my family,
I should comfort them and say
that everything is fine.
That things will pan out
and that we should go back home tomorrow.
But I can't say that right now.
I'm too ashamed to face them.
I don't want to go home either.
Oh, dear.
Earlier today,
I called my closest friend.
I had never asked for such a favor before,
but I asked him for just 20 million
since we had no money.
And?
He said no.
He was hesitant to give me money
since we'd be interrogated
by the prosecution soon,
and reporters are looking for us.
I see.
I was dumbfounded.
I can understand why you were dumbfounded
since he was your closest friend.
No, not because of him.
By the fact
that I didn't even have 20 million won.
I had recently signed
a tax invoice worth 45.6 billion won.
But now, I don't even have
20 million in my pocket.
I feel utterly pathetic.
Look.
I don't know if this will comfort you.
Okay.
But no one does.
No one has that much in their pockets.
Mr. Baek! I know you're lying
just to make me feel better!
I mean it!
I've never had that much before!
All right.
We'll talk again later.
Aunt Hae-in.
Hey.
I heard that you're in a pickle right now.
A bit.
It's a long story.
I heard it's a secret that you're here.
Don't worry.
No one will hear a peep from our end.
"Our end"?
The Yongdu-ri Internet cafe.
I pretty much run the place.
I see.
Okay.
Thanks.
Goodness, she's up.
-Hae-in.
-Are you okay, Hae-in?
Have some water, sweetie.
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?
Shouldn't you?
I'm okay.
I couldn't sleep well last night,
so I felt dizzy.
Are you taking your medication?
What medication? Is she sick?
It's for my anemia.
You have anemia?
Your checkup results never showed that.
How bad is it?
Jeez, don't be so dramatic.
I'm anemic too.
I'm also dizzy
since I couldn't sleep much either.
It's not like Soo-cheol
is doing fine either.
We're all suffering here.
Even still, it's not normal to faint.
Tag along with Hyun-woo
to Seoul tomorrow and visit a hospital.
Okay, I'll do that.
What? I'm tired.
Why are you so harsh to Hae-in?
-When was I?
-She's sick.
She fainted.
Even a stranger would be concerned.
It's okay. Her mother-in-law--
No, her former mother-in-law
takes good care of her anyway.
Didn't you see?
Hae-in didn't hesitate to obey her.
Has she ever done the same to me?
Seon-hwa, do you think
you know everything about Hae-in?
No, of course not.
And there's no need for that.
Seon-hwa.
What?
Gosh.
Seon-hwa!
What's wrong with you?
Stop calling my name.
Hae-in is…
What about her?
Just do me this favor.
Treat her well
so you won't regret it later on.
Please.
Why would I regret it?
I never do things that I regret.
God, this is so upsetting.
She's going to be so heartbroken.
Gosh.
Why aren't any of my exes like him?
I called your doctor.
-You can see him tomorrow.
-Sit down.
What have you been up to?
What?
Some days, he was covered in eggs.
LAND PURCHASE AGREEMEN
Secretary Na?
Let's have a meeting in the office pantry.
Okay.
I think he's been meeting
with those land protestors.
All right.
We'll talk again later.
Were you in touch with her?
Tell me how much you found out
behind my back.
It's your typical
real estate investment fraud.
A broker bought the land in question
from the owners
and offered five times the market price.
Then they signed a contract
with Queens for one-third of that price.
A double contract?
That's deliberate fraud.
We need to prove that.
And the broker? You mentioned one.
Is he in Korea? Did he flee already?
PARADISE LAND, LTD
He did disappear,
but he's getting married this weekend.
I think he plans to fly out
immediately afterward.
But he won't be able to.
I persuaded the landowners to sue
and put him on the No Fly List today.
Things will pan out once we catch him.
Yes.
But you shouldn't concern yourself
with this matter.
Why not? Why shouldn't I?
Look at me.
I'm dying.
Our family's ruined.
We're dirt-poor and homeless.
My grandfather is in a coma.
Da-hye ran off.
Soo-cheol is out of it.
But the worst part
is that I'm in my ex-husband's hometown.
Is that
so terrible?
I need to do something
in this situation.
Today, I even gave myself
the injection that'd raise my WBC.
I don't want to sit still.
I see. You did well.
Yes, I'll be able to get back on my feet
if I keep this up.
And you'll be able to leave me
without feeling worried.
Then we'll finally part ways
like a true divorced couple.
That's my goal.
To part ways with you for good.
I'll share everything
with you from now on.
Let's do everything we can
as long as your body can take it.
You should reach your goal
as soon as possible.
Right.

Even the hospital director

but I finally get to meet you.
You wrote this diagnosis.
So tell me.
How can I save Hong Hae-in?
That's all I need to know.
Why are you here?
I'm going to the doctor's office.
The doctor called.
Eun-sung came by.
I'm sorry.
You're neither her family nor guardian,
so I'm not obligated to tell you.
I have nothing to say.
Is that so?
Will you tell me if I become her guardian?
YONGDU-RI SUPERMARKE
Hello.
Aren't you hungry?
Please sit here.
So…
You see…
Yes?
An old lady lent me her handkerchief.
What old lady?
So… She…
She had a son.
I see. And his name was?
I'm not sure.
He looked ordinary.
He looked like Leslie Cheung.
In our neighborhood?
No, I doubt it.
He had a great voice too.
Like that of a singer.
A man who looks like Leslie Cheung
and has the voice of a singer.
In our neighborhood?
Unless it was a ghost,
I'm afraid you're mistaken.
No, I'm not.
They look similar.
Goodness.
They're here.
Are you hungry?
-Yes.
-Okay, let's eat.
Great timing.
Dinner is ready. Let's eat.
What's for dinner?
I made braised short ribs.
-Braised short ribs?
-It's sweet.
-I hope that's okay.
-Did you add chestnuts too?
Did you…
Did Grace visit you?
Did you tell her no?
Yes, I did.
Well done. She needs to know her place.
Send out a press release and say
that I'll take over the department store.
No, that's Hae-in's spot.
What are you saying?
She's coming back.
I'll manage it until then.
He won't die that easily.
I'm going to take great care of him
so that he lives but remains unconscious.
As long as he's in a coma,
I am in charge of 21% of the stocks.
Do you understand?
TAKE ME OFF THE NO FLY LIS
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING
MR. YOON EUN-SUNG
What have you done?
I told you.
We don't share the same goal.
Where is the chairman?
You shouldn't do this.
What if he dies?
Then it can't be helped.
HONG HAE-IN
I'm leaving now.
Where are you going this late?
Let's have dinner.
I'm just going
for a walk.
I think Hyun-woo is coming soon.
Is he?
Yes.
We should wait and eat with him.
All right then.
Don't go too far, okay?
Okay.
BAEK HYUN-WOO
Hyun-woo?
BAEK HYUN-WOO
Mr. Pyeon Seong-uk?
I've been looking for you.
I see. I should be
in Boracay right now after my wedding.
But things have become complicated,
thanks to you.
Did you get my text?
I replied and said
we should deal with it legally
since I won't drop the suit.
Exactly.
The fact that you still kept this
all these years must mean
you couldn't get her out of your head.
She must've been gorgeous.
Come on.
It's not like that.
I can't even remember
if the person was male, female,
a teacher, a student,
or a security guard.
I can't remember a thing.
That was close.
She sure is sharp
just like a CEO should be.
How could she get it right away?
As soon as she saw it, her gut told her
that it belonged to a woman.
It was close.
I almost got caught.
Didn't you say
you searched the entire school
for that girl just like the prince
from Cinderella?
I did.
She was really pretty.
-Do you still remember that?
-Vividly.
She was my ideal type.
Do you think you'd recognize her?
Right away.
I know it's too late,
but maybe she was your destiny.
I wonder where she is
and what she's doing.
QUEEN OF TEARS
-What humiliation did he get?
-I'm going to kill you!
Even still,
I would've made the same choice.
You should know by now
that I do anything I set my mind to.
No amount of money
can buy this experience.
-You told me to hold it!
-Nepotism?
Will he move out?
Does he want to live with you?
No way. Is he jealous?
From what I heard,
he's feigning ignorance.
I have a knack for revealing truths.
There's something I must do.
You're really testing my patience,
so just get lost.
