A Virtuous Business (2024) s01e10 Episode Script

1
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
I did it because Jong-seon told me to.
All I did was follow him.
Hey, Du-seok.
-So he's the accomplice?
-Yes.
Mr. Kim Du-seok led the crime
and drove the car afterward.
Mr. Park Jong-seon was the lookout
and was in the passenger seat
when the accident happened.
I could forgive you for the accident.
But…
how could you just leave behind
a bleeding man?
I can't forgive you for that.
I…
I'm sorry.
I'll never request leniency.
Please make sure
they get the punishment they deserve.
Yes, ma'am.
And I asked you this before.
If you find the person
who reported the accident,
please let me know.
The thing is…
Did you find the person?
The caller
was Mr. Park Jong-seon,
Ms. Seo Yeong-bok's husband.
What?
There's a witness who saw him
get out of the car and make a call.
The caller's voice in the recording
of the emergency call
matched Mr. Park Jong-seon's.
It seemed like he didn't tell you
because he felt guilty.
Yeong-bok, it's me.
Why did you come?
You should've gone to check in on Ms. Oh.
Let's go together.
She said…
she didn't want to see me ever again.
She'll feel uncomfortable if I visit her.
Of course, she might feel uncomfortable.
She might hate it.
But if you don't do anything,
you guys might actually become strangers.
Will you be okay with that?
Of course not.
She means so much to me.
If I could,
I'd get on my knees
and beg for forgiveness.
I'd apologize sincerely.
But…
But…
I want to tell her
I had complicated circumstances…
and beg her to hear me out just once.
Then go and tell her.
It'd be shameless of me to do that
after what happened.
I can't talk to her.
It's out of the question.
I'd look so desperate and pathetic.
What's wrong with that?
Regardless of the reasons,
you hurt her feelings.
Don't just sit back and be defeatist.
You should do anything to mend things
even if it may make you seem
desperate or pathetic.
Don't avoid it.
GEUMJE HOSPITAL
You didn't get a new patient gown today.
A new patient gown?
Yes.
His sister got a new gown every night
because he sweats a lot.
She said he needed to go to bed
in a clean gown.
She isn't his sister.
We're not even family.
I thought she was
because they seemed very close.
Your blood pressure is normal.
Please let us know if you have a headache.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
I'm glad that it's normal.
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
You cut ties with them.
I heard that it was another man
who drove the car.
In any case, he called the ambulance.
How could you say that in this state?
You nearly died!
Cutting ties with those nobodies
is not a big deal.
I know.
I'm not a saint,
so I did get upset.
But
they don't seem like nobodies
to you.
You aren't
the type to open up to people easily.
But you opened up to them
and got close to them
as if they were your family.
You must've gotten close
to them for a reason.
A reason, my foot.
Stop talking about them.
I'll get a new gown.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Mom, can I go and buy an ice pop?
Sure.
Oh, yes!
Where did Dad go to make money?
I told you that he went abroad.
That's right.
I hope he brings back presents
like clothes or a bag.
He'll make a lot of money abroad,
so I'm sure he'll bring presents.
Mom.
Yes?
Dad isn't away for work, is he?
Did you hear something?
When Dad was absent for a few years,
I had a hunch
that he wasn't away for work.
I feel like it's the same this time.
-Eom-ji.
-I'm okay.
I know how nice Dad is to us.
It's just…
I wanted to tell you this.
I was clueless when I was young.
But it must've been hard for you,
not being able to tell anyone.
Thank you for staying strong
and protecting us despite everything.
I admire you.
Admire, my foot.
Mom.
Yes?
Until Dad receives
proper punishment and returns,
let's hold out well together.
You have another person on your side,
so don't be weak.
You're a big girl now.
You're such a big girl.
You really are a big girl now, my dear.
What?
Hello?
Yes, Yeong-bok.
Where's the dishcloth?
Yeong-bok would wash it every day,
fold it nicely, and put it
in the drawer next to the couch.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh, there's something I want to say.
Did you even hear what I said?
Leave.
Ms. Oh.
Would you please spare me a minute?
I need to take care of my husband.
I'm okay.
I was going to take a nap anyway.
Go ahead.
Ms. Oh.
I was so worried about my children
that I wasn't thinking straight.
But I didn't know from the very start--
Forget it.
Tell me why you're really here.
Do you want a settlement?
No. That isn't why I'm here.
Then what?
I told you I didn't want to see you again.
So why are you here, rambling on and on?
Do I look like a joke?
No, it isn't like that.
I just…
I just…
I just wish…
I just hope…
you aren't hurting so much.
I'm not brazen enough
to ask for your forgiveness.
But if you could understand me just a bit,
then the pain you feel might lessen a bit.
That's why I'm here.
I don't know.
Since the friendship is already over,
I don't feel much pain.
Stop with your presumptuous worries
and mind your business.
Ms. Oh.
Why are you
still not telling me everything?
That night,
the person who called
the ambulance for my husband
was your husband.
In any case, he's responsible
for the accident.
I thought that wasn't important.
And had I brought it up,
you would've probably thought
that I was after a settlement.
So…
Thank goodness you have a conscience.
Ms. Oh…
Yeong-bok.
Yeong-bok!
Yeong-bok! What's wrong?
My belly…
Please take me to an ob-gyn.
An ob-gyn?
Yeong-bok, are you pregnant?
Yes.
This won't do. I'll call for help.
-Oh, no.
-Jeong-suk.
Oh, no.
Yeong-bok, take a deep breath.
Breathe. That's right.
What should we do? Let's sit here.
Hold on.
Get up!
-What?
-You aren't actually unwell!
You played tag
with your girlfriend yesterday!
Hurry up!
Okay.
Yeong-bok.
Yeong-bok, come here. You can do it.
Hold tight, Yeong-bok.
Move out of the way!
Move out of the way! It's urgent!
Make way for us!
Make way!
Move out of the way! All right.
It's pelvic pain.
It happens when the bones and tendons
move around or stretch
because of the fetus.
The pain could intensify
depending on the mother's condition.
Well… Is the baby okay?
Yes. Ultrasound revealed no problems.
You can go home after a bit of rest.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank goodness, Yeong-bok.
Listen.
You should've told me from the start
that you were pregnant…
I see why you couldn't.
Had I known, I wouldn't have said
such harsh words.
Why are you crying again?
I didn't say much.
I…
I know better than anyone
how kind you are.
Don't be mistaken.
I don't feel bad for you at all.
I just feel bad for the baby.
The baby is innocent.
Ms. Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'll atone for it for the rest of my life.
Stop crying.
I haven't forgiven you yet.
Okay.
It's a relief, right?
GEUMJE HOSPITAL
Seriously.
I'll atone for what I did to you
for the rest of my life.
I'm truly sorry.
I'm sorry.
Words won't do.
I'll give you a chance
to pay me back properly in the future,
so brace yourselves.
Yes, sir.
I'll do anything you ask me to do.
I'll do whatever, whenever.
Yes, I will.
I'll forward the settlement agreement
along with the case materials.
It couldn't have been easy,
but you made a decision in a few days.
Thank you.
Please make sure
people don't find out about the case.
If word gets out,
Yeong-bok's children will suffer.
I told the others to be careful,
but I'll do it again.
Thank you.
Right.
You lent me this handkerchief
the other day.
-I'm sorry I'm only returning it now.
-That's okay.
And I prepared this as a gift.
It's okay.
I made it. It's nothing big.
Thank you.
Is it a mouse? It's very cute.
It's a rabbit.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's a signature of mine.
Many people mistake it for a mouse.
Thank you.
It's a rabbit.
BURAMARBLE
One, two… Oh, no.
What? Mom, you're
on Dong-u's property again.
-It's a hotel.
-It's Madrid.
It's a property with a hotel,
so the toll is 1.2 million won.
Did you say 1.2 million won?
Oh, no. I'm 30,000 won short.
Unfortunately, you went bankrupt.
All right. The two of you should play.
I need to pack up since Min-ho is going to
his uncle's place tomorrow.
-Okay.
-All right.
Make sure you practice
while I'm at my uncle's place.
Do I need to practice?
It's a game that requires strategies.
We'll be able to have a better match
if you practice a bit.
Okay, I'll try.
-What? Keep playing.
-Okay.
It's my turn.
Hello?
Hello, Detective.
I see.
I was actually curious about that too.
Will the settlement agreement
change the sentence?
Yes.
When it comes to sentencing, the
settlement agreement is the most crucial.
He'll be
in the detention center for a while.
But after the trial,
he might be released on parole.
I'm really glad to hear that.
Yes.
I think the case will get wrapped up soon.
Would you be free
to have dinner with me tomorrow?
I've been very busy since our date.
Okay.
I can do it since Min-ho is going
to my brother's place with my mom.
Where shall we meet?
Why don't you come to my place?
I want to cook dinner for you.
Okay. That sounds good.
Okay.
DATE IDEAS: ROLLER SKATING RINK,
MOVIE THEATER, GAME ARCADE
Hey, Ju-ri.
-You're here.
-Yes.
You said you'd think of a date idea.
Have you decided?
No.
You know,
it's so hard.
Where can we enjoy a fun date
while avoiding other people's eyes?
If you can't think of any,
why don't we go to a motel?
What? That's a bit…
Dismissive much?
This is a bit awkward.
I said I wanted a casual relationship.
It isn't like that.
All the motels in the neighborhood
belong to my mom.
I used to collect rent.
You didn't want the word to spread.
If we go to a motel,
word will spread right away.
So whether it's casual or not,
we won't be able to go on a date.
It's not like an at-home date
is an option.
I'll figure something out.
For now, why don't we have
a quick date in the dispensary
like the last time?
No. I need to go to the office.
Contact me when you finish thinking.
Hold on, Ju-ri.
But I've prepared everything.
Product description?
Yes. I think we should begin
preparing the brochure
I mentioned last time.
There's a lot of work to be done,
so we should write
the descriptions in advance.
-I see.
-Okay.
So we should pick the products
and write a description for each at home.
Yes. It'll be easier
if you take similar products.
Pick first,
then I'll take the remaining ones.
The branch manager is the best!
I'll take the products for men.
-Will you take the products for men?
-Yes.
I'll take the gel and massage oil.
My sales were the best
when I promoted these.
Then I'll take the slip dresses.
Jeong-suk and I
studied the garments, after all.
I'll introduce it that way.
-All right. I see.
-It'll be professional.
What? Is this for men as well?
GEUMJE OKSAN
MISSING CHILDREN CASE
Detective Kim left early
for his dinner plans.
Shall we go out for a drink?
What? No.
I have something to do.
You should get going.
Okay.
By the way,
you spend a lot of time alone
in the office these days.
It's just that I have work left.
I think you have something in the drawer.
That's the reason, right?
-What?
-You don't want Detective Kim to know.
Right?
How did you know that?
I also stay behind and read it sometimes.
What?
If yours is a foreign one, let's share.
NEOGUNE
10 SEXY MOVES, COLLEGE GIRL
Get out.
It's really good.
-Hurry up and go home.
-It's good.
-Go home already!
-Seriously.
For goodness' sake.
GEUMJE OKSAN
MISSING CHILDREN CASE
Yeong-bok, shall I take more items?
She's busy with her branch manager duties,
so give them to me.
It's okay. It's better to have
something to do.
You must be busy
since you have a boyfriend.
Gosh. Ju-ri, did you get a boyfriend?
How did you know?
I got a hunch when you picked
the products for men.
Enjoy testing the products.
Well, I need to look for a place.
An at-home date is nice,
but neither of our places is free.
Why is an at-home date nice?
Well, it's simple,
yet perfect for getting physical.
They act like
they're just inviting you for a meal.
But when you guys are alone
in the house…
You guys will end up
doing something R-rated.
Something will surely happen.
It might really be just a meal
and nothing more.
What's with the naivete?
Don't act so innocent.
Seriously. You know how it goes.
You're old-fashioned.
There's so much you can do at home.
Why don't you come to my place?
I want to cook dinner for you.
Is she the Virgin Mary or what?
Did a child suddenly pop out?
R-rated, my foot.
We'll just have dinner…
BURAMARBLE
…and play a board game.
It'll be G-rated.
Detective.
Detective.
What?
Why is he taking a shower
when he invited me here?
What for?
Why did you take a shower now?
I had to wash up, didn't I?
Hurry up and take a shower, Jeong-suk.
Hey, you're here.
Yes. The door was open.
I kept it open on purpose.
Sauce splattered while I was cooking,
so I washed my hair.
I thought you might arrive
during that time.
I see.
You must be hungry.
I'm going to make pasta.
Would that be okay?
Pasta?
It's like spaghetti.
I see. Yes, I've seen it on TV.
I'll do it. Just leave it.
There are only a few plates.
We should clean up
to hang out comfortably.
I brought something for entertainment.
Entertainment?
Yes. It's in my bag.
Please take it out and set it up.
Okay.
Did you find it?
Yes.
So you're saying
you brought these for me, right?
You don't know how to play, do you?
I know well, so I'll teach you
step by step.
Oh, my!
Why did you…
My goodness.
These were the only things in the bag.
My goodness, not this bag.
I meant this one.
-I see. Buramarble.
-Yes.
-I'll set it up.
-Okay.
-My goodness.
-Okay.
I should've taken it out myself.
Things got so awkward.
Too expensive.
Ms. Han.
Let's stop having strange thoughts.
Detective invited me with pure intentions.
Ms. Han.
You need to go to Hong Kong.
What?
Go to Hong Kong? What do you…
You rolled the dice and got seven.
Three, four, five, six, seven.
It's Hong Kong.
I see. Yes, Hong Kong.
One, two, three, four, five… Yes.
This Hong Kong.
What other meaning…
I'm sorry.
I had a chat with the in-home sales reps
before coming here.
They said something is bound to happen
if you're on an at-home date.
It's not like I thought
that was your intention.
It's a ridiculous thought, but…
I don't think it's a ridiculous thought.
What?
That thing that's bound to happen
on an at-home date…
I want that too.
OKSAN RESTAURAN
Thank you for the food.
This candy is
the tastiest thing they have.
But you emptied all the plates.
My goodness.
Mom.
Would it be okay if I moved out?
Why so suddenly?
My workplace is far away,
so it gets exhausting.
Isn't it a ten-minute walk?
Even a ten-minute walk
can be exhausting at times.
Gosh, it can't be more exhausting
than having a son like you.
Geez, stop spouting nonsense.
Here. Eat a candy.
That's right. Mom, aren't you going
on a trip abroad with Dad soon?
Yes. We'll go to China
with the Royal Club members next week.
I'm going to Seoul next week for business.
Then Dae-geun will be home alone.
What? Really?
Why are you so surprised?
What? Do you think I'll make you starve?
I'll make a big pot of bone broth soup
before I go, so don't worry.
Thank you, Mom. Thank you so much.
What's up with you?
You don't even like beef bone soup.
Seriously.
That isn't true. I like it.
I'm obsessed with it.
Really? Are you obsessed with it?
HOW TO USE A WHIP
These were the only things in the bag.
My goodness.
That startled me.
"As lightly as possible."
HONG KONG - 80,000 WON
Hello?
Yes, Captain.
Now?
Recently, I talked on the phone
with Yeong-ho's mom,
who runs a hanbok shop in Yeongeup.
She said a detective asked her
about the missing children case
because he was looking for his parents.
Only I know about it,
so you don't need to worry.
I couldn't get it off my mind,
so I contacted a junior police officer
who investigated the case with me.
He said something strange.
There's an orphanage in Yeongeup.
It closed down recently
because the director passed away.
Following the director's death,
hidden materials were revealed.
He said they seemed to be connected
to the missing children case.
These are
the materials.
Why does he think that?
Yeongeup Orphanage sent about 20 children
for international adoption.
But eleven of them
weren't from the orphanage.
There are no files
regarding their admissions.
Only their adoption applications
were found.
Do the adoption applications have
the children's photos?
Just a few.
They all look similar
since they were all newborns.
It's hard to tell them apart
since the photos are in black and white.
But thankfully, this three-year-old
girl's photos are clear.
Take a look.
It's the same girl, right?
There's a high chance
the other children were kidnapped too.
Is there any information
on who brought in these children?
No, but… My goodness.
A price was written
on the children's files.
It was 10,000 won per child.
TEN THOUSAND WON
In the 1960s, it was a hefty sum.
These children lived
in the unpopulated mountains,
so there were no witnesses whatsoever.
Was there no other link
between the victims?
Perhaps they were born
in the same hospital.
It was rare to give birth
in a hospital back then.
They did have the same midwife.
But she had a solid alibi.
Do you know where she lives?
Excuse me.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm Detective Kim Do-hyeon
of Geumje Police Station.
I have a few questions.
Do you have a minute?
By any chance,
are you here because of that incident?
I did think someone would come.
Thirty years ago, children went missing
in Geumje and Oksan.
I heard you were their midwife.
Do you know anything about it?
Who are you?
Mother.
By any chance,
are you here because of that incident?
I did think someone would come.
Gosh, you're at it again.
Why do you say that
when I visit every day?
She has Alzheimer's disease.
By the way, who are you?
You worked as a midwife's assistant?
Yes. It's been about 20 years.
Twenty years?
Did someone else do it before you?
Yes, I heard that there was
another assistant.
What was the name?
Ok-yeop's mom.
Gosh, do you remember?
Her mind becomes clear from time to time.
Did you say Ok-yeop's mom?
Ok-yeop's mom.
She told me she started
a business in the town center.
She told me to visit.
Do you remember
what kind of business it was?
Who are you?
A woman in her 50s or 60s
with a son named Ok-yeop.
And she runs a business
in Geumje town center.
Those are the clues we have.
Yes.
Since she has Alzheimer's disease,
it's not certain. But we should check.
Ok-yeop isn't a common name,
so I'll go through the IDs
of the residents I've investigated.
I'll come and help after I ask around.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-My goodness.
-Go ahead and eat.
-All right. Take one.
-It looks delicious.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Welcome. Take a seat.
Are you here for sales?
Thank you.
I'm here to ask a question, not to sell.
I see.
Have you heard of the name, Ok-yeop?
He's a man in his 30s.
Oh-gyeop? Like "Oh" of "Oh, no?"
My goodness.
No. It's "Ok," as in, "Okay."
-I see. Ok-yeop.
-Ok-yeop.
-I've never heard the name before.
-Same here.
It's a very unusual name,
so no one would forget it.
But I have no idea.
-Me neither.
-Right.
Why are you looking for this man?
Well…
You see,
someone I met during in-home sales
talked about Ok-yeop's mom.
But I had never heard the name before.
Ok-yeop's mom?
Sun-ae, who has lived here the longest,
doesn't know anyone with that name,
so he can't be someone around here.
Hey, can you stop saying
that I've lived here the longest?
People will think we're the same age.
The same age? Sure.
Stop joking around.
I'm not joking around.
Tell me. Who looks younger?
-I don't know.
-Let's count the wrinkles.
Who has more wrinkles?
Who looks younger?
-One, two, three, four, five…
-I don't have many wrinkles.
-I'll get going now.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
-All right.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-But you have lived here long.
-Hello.
I should leave too.
Let me ask you something.
Do you know anyone named Ok-yeop?
-Ok-yeop?
-A man in his 30s…
His mother…
It makes no sense
that it isn't in the moving records.
Could it be that you got the name wrong?
No, I don't think that's it.
Tomorrow, I'll check…
What? What's going on?
What are you hiding
that you suddenly stop talking?
We aren't hiding anything.
We were talking about a case.
What case?
-Mill…
-Car repair…
You guys are hiding something.
We're a team. Let's work together.
Forget it.
It's a secret project.
How could you have
a secret project with him
when I'm his senior? Why?
It's…
You can't keep a secret.
-Let's talk later.
-Okay.
Detective Na.
What?
It's about the inheritance dispute
in the family that runs a wallpaper store.
What about it?
The second wife's child showed up.
What a mess!
But we can't confirm it
on the resident registration.
Check the family registration.
It'll show both the second wife's child
and the deceased people.
GEUMJE TOWN HALL
KANG OK-YEOP
BORN 11/24/1960, DIED 2/28/1961
That means he passed away 30 years ago.
FATHER: KANG DEOK-PAL
MOTHER: CHO SUN-AE
Cho Sun-ae?
Writing together
makes it feel like a writing contest.
It was hard to write by myself.
I couldn't pick up speed either.
My goodness.
Yeong-bok, you wrote quite a lot.
-Gosh.
-My goodness.
I may not look it,
but I enjoyed writing in my school days.
Let me read yours.
-Do you want to?
-Yes.
Sure, here you go.
"This slip dress
that's as red as a poppy flower
is 'perpect' for showing your sexiness."
-Why are you laughing?
-What?
Yeong-bok, what's "perpect"?
That doesn't make sense!
-What? It's not "perpect"?
-So funny.
Oh, here.
PERFEC
I see.
I told you I'm not very well-educated.
Ju-ri, you made a mistake too.
What? Where?
Where?
"It's a ring-shaped product
that'll bring back
a man's confidence and power.
Hold yourself 'erection'
and wear it close to the body."
This part.
It isn't "erection."
It's "erect."
"Erect."
How embarrassing!
You made a mistake too.
You're not better than me.
But why is it "erect"?
Honestly, men wear this product
and get an--
Ju-ri, it's "erect."
You hold yourself erect.
-Okay.
-"Erect."
Come to think of it,
the problem isn't our writing skills.
We should start with basic grammar.
Ms. Oh will proofread what we wrote.
That's right. Write freely
without worrying about grammar.
-How nice.
-I'll fix everything.
Okay.
I'm nearly done,
so I'll go and buy some drinks.
-Really? Then I want Skoll.
-Skoll.
-I want Tabom.
-Tabom?
I want BB Col.
-BB Col. Skoll, Tabom, and BB Col.
-Yes.
Thank you.
-How about money?
-I have it.
That's right.
PAY PHONE
President of the Women's Club,
it's me, Han Jeong-suk.
You told me to call you.
Yes.
In the neighborhood,
is there a man in his 30s named Ok-yeop?
His mother would be in her 50s or 60s.
Yes. Okay.
Can you stop?
Ma'am.
You're looking for Ok-yeop's mom.
Stop it. It's meaningless.
What do you mean?
He's dead.
-What?
-I'm talking about Ok-yeop.
He died 30 years ago due to an illness.
I don't know what this is about, but stop.
Must you trouble the woman
who's trying to get by
after losing a child?
Do you know Ok-yeop's mom?
I don't know.
Please tell me.
There's something I must check.
Well…
STAR VIDEO RENTAL
It's me.
Yes, I'm Ok-yeop's mom.
Have a drink.
Okay.
So, from 1961 to 1965,
you worked as a midwife's assistant?
Yes.
After losing Ok-yeop,
my heart felt so empty.
As volunteer work,
I helped women give birth.
I had to do something
to pull myself together.
Do you know
how my child died?
A cold.
It was just a cold with a fever.
He just needed
to receive treatment at the hospital…
but we couldn't afford it.
All night long, I tried to break his fever
by wiping his body with a wet towel.
"Baby, don't go. I'm sorry."
"Don't go."
But
his body went limp.
He was a tiny baby
who was barely 100 days old.
I buried him and returned home.
I'm sorry. When I think about that time…
It's okay.
The thing is,
you began running a business
two years after your child passed away.
If I may ask,
how did your financial situation improve
when you couldn't even
afford the hospital?
It only took two years too.
My husband worked hard--
He was a tenant farmer.
Even with your salary
as a midwife's assistant,
you couldn't have afforded such expenses.
There's a story behind it.
I'll tell you everything from now on.
My goodness, I don't know where to begin.
That's right.
Detective, I…
I did take those children.
Dear Heaven, please let
each and every one of the children
be healthy and happy.
Please watch over them
so that they can become important people.
This is my daily routine.
I pray for the children's health
and happiness.
Do you think it makes sense?
You kidnapped children
and sold them for money.
I didn't do it for money.
Every single one…
of these children
came from a penniless family…
INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS SURGE
…just like my Ok-yeop.
Those families couldn't afford hospitals
even if their children got sick.
How could anyone be happy
growing up in such a family?
I think
I saved these children.
"Save"?
I resented my parents all my life.
"Why did they abandon me?"
"Why did they have me in the first place?"
I didn't know that it was your doing.
What? You saved me?
You're wrong.
When I sent the angels away,
I put a tiny cross tattoo
on their foreheads,
just in case I might
recognize them later in life.
But you have nothing on your forehead.
I have a burn scar on my arm.
I've had it since I was left
at the orphanage.
Then you're definitely not one of them.
I cherished my babies.
It looks like
you're an adoptee as well.
You grew up to be a great man.
Why are you so full of resentment?
-No, I--
-Here.
I'm going to pray now.
Even if I were to leave everything behind,
I should take my babies' photos.
Ms. Cho!
Ms. Cho, please come on out for a second!
Ms. Cho, you're inside, right?
Ms. Cho!
Ms. Cho!
What?
CLOSED FOR THE DAY
What brings you here?
Didn't you see the sign that reads,
"Closed for the day"?
I have to ask you something urgently.
Well, I was just heading out.
Shall we talk as we go?
Hold on.
This is Detective Kim's.
Did Detective Kim come here?
Where is he?
Tell me!
Detective!
Detective!
Detective!
Detective!
Detective!
Oh, no.
Detective.
Jeong-suk.
It's okay now.
Let's get out of here.
Be careful.
-Let go!
-My goodness!
What are you doing? Hey!
Let go!
You can't go anywhere!
-Let go!
-My goodness.
It's over, Ms. Cho Sun-ae.
You're under arrest
for kidnapping children
in Geumje and Oksan
and illegal international adoptions.
-You kidnapped children?
-No, I didn't do it!
-Is it true?
-Let go!
-Hold tightly!
-Let go!
GEUMJE HOSPITAL
Geumje Police arrested
the culprit behind the horrific crime
of kidnapping children in Geumje and Oksan
and putting them up

The suspect, Ms. Cho Sun-ae
kidnapped children
from poor families in remote areas

-and receive money for adoption.
-Move!
Although the statute of limitations
has expired…
CAPTAIN SEO HYEON-SIK
GEUMJE POLICE STATION
…she poisoned the detective
who was after her,
locked him up, and committed arson.
So we plan to punish her for confinement
and an injury due to negligence.
Are you okay?
I'm glad that she's getting punished,
but I feel troubled.
I thought I was almost there.
Did you bring my belongings?
Yes, I brought mail.
You received a package from overseas.
It's from my adoptive parents.
I see.
They cleared out the garage
and found the clothing
I was wearing when they adopted me.
I see.
What? There's an embroidery.
It could be your real name.
In any case, I know for sure
that it's a new lead for my case.
Ms. Oh. Yeong-bok. Ju-ri.
-Hello.
-Hello.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine. I'll be discharged in two days.
I wanted to thank you guys.
The three of you helped a lot
in apprehending the culprit.
Gosh, don't mention it.
We just did what Jeong-suk told us to do.
My goodness.
Did Mr. Choi get discharged
from the hospital?
Of course.
While we're on that, why don't you come
to my house this weekend?
I'd like to invite you to a party
in celebration of my husband's discharge.
That's right.
You guys should come together
as an official couple.
Ju-ri, it isn't like that.
Okay. We'll come together.
"An official couple."
How sweet.
My goodness, why did you make
so much food?
It's tomorrow, right?
Yes.
My mom, dad, and sister are all away.
The house will be totally empty.
I'll bring the products,
so brace yourself.
Don't run around. You're stirring up dust.
You'll get hurt!
-Calm down, will you?
-Hello.
-My goodness.
-Hello.
-Congratulations on your discharge.
-Thanks.
You didn't have to.
Let me help. What should I do first?
-You're here.
-Yeong-bok.
Ms. Oh, we need another stove.
One won't be enough.
A stove.
I know where it is.
I put it away during work.
Let me go get it quickly.
-Please take a seat.
-Okay.
My goodness.
Gosh.
What?
What is this doing here?
…and found the clothing
I was wearing when they adopted me.
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
Your search for your biological parents
went back to square one.
I'll start over.
It's cool that you're a good photographer.
It's wonderful.
No one has said that to me before.
What are you guys doing?
Why are you here?
By the way, you told me
that you excluded Ms. Oh early on.
May I ask you why?
You're a wonderful babysitter.
-Really? Am I?
-Yes.
I'd imagined meeting my mother
hundreds of times.
Perhaps because of that,
I feel better than I expected.
