"Episode 4" "In twenty years, Kim Youngmin will inherit the company from his father." "And in another twenty, I guess it'll be his son's turn to lead it." "You'll have to wait until then." "After all, your own son will eventually become chairman of Atlantic Group." "And by then you'll still be his birth mother." "And if the child turns to be a girl?" "Guess we'll have a female chairman, then." "Leave it there." "I prefer it that way." "Don't try to force changes on me, I said I prefer it this way!" "We'll have to live here together for the time being." "In this small place." "I want my things to always be at hand." "It's a bad habit, get rid of it." "We'll have a child in six months." "You can't raise a kid in this environment, can you?" "So change your habits while you still can." "Did you meet her?" "What did you do to Yang Insuk?" "Whomever gives birth to it, that child is mine." "And yours as well." "I asked you what you did to her!" "Unless you want to make that child illegitimate," "I suggest you start listening to me." "Illegitimate?" "!" "I called your father." "And told him I'm pregnant." "I will raise it." "As my child." "Hey man, you want some crack?" "Hey!" "Hey man..." "Want some crack?" "Who are you looking for?" "By any chance, you know a Yang Insuk?" "So you're..." "Kim Youngmin?" "Yes." "Stop bothering my sister." "I need to talk to her." "A moment will..." "Just go back." "She said she'll stay with her cousin in Miami, for the time being." "Miami?" "!" "She only told me that she'd go there, it's all I know." "Wait a moment!" "Look!" "Think I'm having a conversation because you're charming the hell out of me?" "Aren't you the prick who ruined my sister?" "Unless you want a hole in your head, don't ever show up here again." "Is he gone?" "Aigoo..." "Get yourself some help." "How long will it take you to clean up this mess?" "I'm just taking my time." "The roof doesn't leak anymore, does it?" "My husband said not to worry since he fixed it." "Have you given it a thought?" "Jeongsuk, you don't need to move a finger." "My husband and I can take care of the restaurant." "I'll give it some more thought." "How are you going to make a living?" "I've heard you quit at the hospital." "Who ever asked for it free of charge?" "We'll pay you rent and share the profits." "But getting rid of the ironworks shop is just..." "That's why." "Aigoo, it's not going to make you a penny here." "Isn't that the reason why your father moved to the city?" "And let's suppose you do reopen it, who's going to do the work?" "Will you do that?" "I'll first finish cleaning up here, and then we can discuss it again." "What are you, still waiting for Kang Jungu?" "He's not coming out!" "He stabbed three people to death!" "Aigoo..." "This trap here..." "Look at Nayoung, getting married and doing fine..." "Aigoo..." "This damned... trap..." "I bought some clothes to wear in the States." "Got a few for you as well." "Take care, goodbye." "Right..." "I'm not going to apologize." "Since I can't erase you from my memories as well." "Live well." "At least you should find some happiness." "Forgot the keys." "Youngmin." "Should I just go back to Seoul?" "That's what you wish for, right?" "I'll just go back, and tell them I can't live with you." "If you don't like me, what else can I do?" "I can't even look myself in the mirror anymore." "But who do I have left?" "After my father passed away, and what happened to my sister, where else could I go?" "I'm not going to have children." "I'd never be able to raise them as my own anyway." "Let's promise." "Not to have children." "Time to go now, right?" "Right?" "You'll give it to me, right?" "Aigoo..." "Look at her." "Just a look at you and she smiles." "You're that happy?" "Does this ajumma look like Mommy?" "Would you like to hold her?" "If you like her, I suggest you hurry." "A pretty kid like her will make Americans go crazy." "Can't you wait a couple of months?" "You still haven't convinced your husband?" "It's not that..." "If it's just that, I could certainly wait." "Thank you." "Bye-bye..." "Say it." "Bye-bye." "What's wrong with you?" "Say Bye-bye to her." " Bangeojin Raw Fish House " "How can you waste an entire day on that damned door?" "If we called a carpenter, it'd have been done in a minute." "Does money fall from the sky?" "Are you busy enough to waste money on a carpenter?" "Aigoo!" "Must be heavy." "You brat, like that's heavy." "Who are you trying to fool?" "Ahh..." "Sis." "Blame my slender figure if I can't carry heavy loads." "Aigoo..." "Keep shaking your ass like that, will you?" "You'll fart all the way to the counter." "Take a look." "Looks quite decent after a touch here and there, doesn't it?" "It looks nice." "Poor people like us should rely on each other." "What's that old cuss doing in there?" "And he still isn't done with the damned door." "Dad." "Nayoung got pregnant right after marriage." "Her belly is already this big." "Gently..." "Do it gently." "Careful..." "Careful." "What's wrong?" "Slowly..." "All right?" "Do it slowly." "I'll hold you from behind." "She'll soon give birth, shouldn't you find yourself a house?" "We're moving next month." "We found a nice and cheap little condo in New Jersey." "If you're moving to New Jersey, won't it be a tad far from school?" "The baby comes first." "If you had told me you were coming..." "I had some business to tend to in Washington, so I thought I'd come by." "Youngmin." "Why don't you take your brother out for lunch?" "I wish I could join you, but..." "No, I'm leaving today." "You're not even sleeping over?" "My father urged me to check on how you were doing, that's all." "They say it's a boy." "They can tell in advance with an ultrasound scan here." "I'll go check the laundry." "How much longer do you plan to stay?" "After my doctorate is done I'll gain some experience at the research center, so I guess another ten years?" "I'm sure Dad won't approve." "I might even decide to get it over with and just live here." "Why?" "Just feel that only trouble would be waiting for me in Seoul." "What could possibly trouble you?" "There's plenty of work waiting for you there." "So don't stay here too long, and come back." "Need to help Dad, right?" "He's got you, not to mention Youngdae Hyung." "Ahh..." "Right." "We've got a new sister." "A sister?" "!" "Dad finally brought home one of the children he'd been hiding." "All we heard over the years were rumors." "By the way, your wife defied my expectations." "Are you looking at monkeys at the zoo or something?" "What are you all staring at?" "How could we not?" "No matter where you stare, she looks nothing like you." "Guess your mother was a beauty." "Yes." "If she was a night club madam, how could it be otherwise?" "!" "Mother, you're going too far." "It wasn't a night club." "She ran the biggest traditional restaurant in Insa-Dong." "Is that so?" "!" "Ahh..." "Really... *younger sister-in-law" "Agasshi*, so I guess you must be a good cook?" "Good for you." "Now you can leave the chores to her and enjoy some time for yourself." "When did I ever do the chores?" "She always takes care of everything by herself." "I'll only let it slide this once, Chairman." "Aigoo..." "Look at me." "Shot some photos of Youngmin's wife." "Her belly is already huge." "Looks like it's a boy." "Why are you laughing?" "A quick look at her, and I'd bet on a shotgun wedding?" "!" "Isn't that right, Mother?" "This is the last time, Chairman." "Are we clear?" "She's the end of the line." "Stop trying to embarrass me and let's just eat." "I see we have quite the rosy future ahead..." " Just my luck." " Ehh Ehh!" "I said let's eat!" "Shut it and eat." "He's gone?" "He said he had things to do in New York as well." "I could barely breathe." "I was so worried it would come down..." "You smiled?" "!" "See how nice it is to smile?" " You..." " I what?" "Why am I doing this?" "I just wanted to feel what Yang Insuk was going through firsthand." "How it feels to be pregnant." "You can't just become a mother out of the blue," "I need to prepare myself." "What do you really..." "Just a moment." "Hello?" "What?" "Right now?" "All right, I'll be there in a minute." "Start by calling an ambulance." "Where are you going?" "To give birth." "She's ready." "Breathe in." "Breathe out." "Breathe in." "Breathe out." "They said I still had a month left, so I went out for groceries, and suddenly my belly started hurting." "Listen well, Insuk." "Right as we practiced, you'll become me from this moment on." "You're no longer Yang Insuk, your name is Yoon Nayoung." "What's your name again, Insuk?" "Yoon Nayoung!" "Your husband's name?" "Kim Youngmin..." "Go faster, you bastard!" "It's killing me!" "Say it again." "What's your name?" "Yoon..." "Yoon Nayoung!" "And my husband is Kim Youngmin." "Happy now, you bitch?" "Hello?" "It's me." "We're at the hospital." "How about her?" "Don't worry." "They just took her to the labor ward." "I called you right away, since I thought you'd be worried." "Thank you." "Sorry." "No need to be." "My name will be on that birth certificate, anyhow." "Mother Yoon Nayoung, Father Kim Youngmin." "Don't forget that." "You can't cut me up." "How can I get married with a scar on my belly?" "No way..." "Come here." "Here!" "I put all the clothes she was wearing in the bag." "I also added the adoption papers, so all you need to do is apply for it at the ward office." "What name did you give her?" "I just called her Hyejin." "Hyejin?" "You can always change it..." "Hyejin." "I like it." "Aigoo!" "Who is this?" "Aigoo, how pretty you are!" "Ahh..." "Pretty, my ass." "Looks like a boy." "They should look like a tomboy at her age to grow into pretty ladies." "So you really brought her from the orphanage?" "No, the stork brought it this morning, why?" "I'll go in." "Let's go in." "You did well." "Raising an orphan is a hundred times better than living alone." "Hyejin." "This is your home." "Let's live happily with Mommy." "It's her, all right." "With that thug, Kang Jungu or something." "Life sure is cruel..." "When did they have a child together?" "She was raped, that's why." "Think she wanted that baby?" "Aigoo, how pretty..." "My Hyejin." "Take a look..." "Look." "Look." "That's our son." "I called your father, and he gave him his name." "It's Minjae." "Kim Minjae." "Looks like he can see us." "See how he's moving his hand?" "Mommy." "Mommy is here." "Wave your hand, too." "Mommy is here." "Mommy..." " 10 Years Later " " Is this pretty enough?" " What's so pretty about it?" "Look." "Is this what you call a shellfish?" "Look for more." "One more time." "I'll be late tonight." "Once Minjae is done with his violin lesson, he's set for another piano one." "You'll find some spaghetti with sauce in the fridge." "How many lessons is he taking?" "!" "We must send him to Harvard." "And being a good student alone won't cut it." "Violin, piano, art, baseball..." "He must be proficient in all those things." "Honey." "I told you to leave Minjae's education to me, didn't I?" "If you keep talking like that, you'll only encourage Minjae to become lazier." "You can go to sleep first." "Can't you even find a few pretty ones?" "Let's get moving!" "Look." "There is nothing I can't do." "You might walk, but I can fly." "Take a good look." "I'll fly to places you could never find, places filled with treasures." "Yoon Hyejin!" "Yoon Hyejin!" "Yoon Hyejin!" "Yoon Hyejin!" "Yoon Hyejin!" "Yoon Hyejin!" "Chin up." "I said chin up!" "What are you doing?" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "What are you, retards?" "I told you that if you showed up again," "I wouldn't let it slide, didn't I?" "Did I or didn't I?" "Why aren't you answering?" "Sorry..." "How dare you talk to me like that?" "You better listen to me." "This is my turf." "Bother my friends again, and I'll come looking for you at school, and beat you to a pulp." "Is that clear?" "Then, get out of my sight." "Don't you even pay your respects to an elder on your way out?" "Wow..." "Our Hyejin can be scary." "You're in elementary school and still scold middle-schoolers?" "!" "That's a secret." "They have no idea that I'm actually younger." "Really?" "Wow..." "It's huge." "You brought it for my mother, didn't you?" "Thank you." "Hyejin..." "You're in trouble." "Why is that?" "Your teacher is here." "What trouble did you get into this time?" "I didn't do a thing..." "Seonsaengnim, it's you..." "Take these on your way out." "They're fresh off the boat." "Still breathing and all." "Why did you cheat on your test?" "I didn't..." "The guy just turned this way and I couldn't help but take a look." "You little brat..." "Hyejin." "You hate studying that bad?" "You need to study hard if you want to go to a good school, and become a great person later." "I don't really want to become a great person." "Hyejin." "Then, what do you want to become?" "I'll become a singer." "A singer?" "!" "What are you saying?" "That's fine, too." "If you can really make it." "I'm a good singer." "Is that so?" "Then how about you sing us a song?" "Sure, Seonsaengnim." "Mom, take these." "Lee Eunha's Night Train" "Far away, the horn screams." "Leaving me behind, going far away." "Now I must forget him," "The love of a lifetime nobody could forget." "Listen to her!" "The sound of horns disappearing far away..." "Why do you want to become a singer?" "I've heard the richest people are singers?" "And what would you do with all that money?" "I'll give it to you." "So you're making all that money just to give it to me?" "Think of how much you struggled, raising me all by yourself." "My daughter's a good girl." "Mom." "How did Dad die?" "Dad?" "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Your father..." "Was he really in a car accident?" "But people around here have no idea?" "How he died and all." "It happened back when we were living in Ulsan." "So people here just heard about it." "What?" "Sometimes, he comes back to mind." "But you didn't even see his face?" "Still, whenever I think of him, his face comes to mind." "And how does he look?" "Changes every time." "Sometimes he's this tall fella, and others..." "Mom." "Why don't you have a single photo of him?" "Show one to me, will you?" "Mom..." "Mom!" "Wow..." "So this is Dad?" "He's really handsome." "Dad, nice to meet you." "I'm Hyejin." "I thought she brought Hyejin from an orphanage, but I guess that wasn't the case?" "Aigoo..." "The hell are you prattling?" "You brat." "So she's really his daughter, isn't she?" "You know, that murderer..." "Aigoo..." "I told you she brought her from the orphanage!" "But Hyejin is prancing around with her father's photo bragging all day?" "Aigoo..." "You foolish wench..." "Just pretend you don't know." "Hyejin, that little brat sure sings well!" "I was surprised, too." "Who does she take after?" "Ahh..." "Really..." "Don't poke me in the ribs and worry about your husband's trap, will you?" "And you better stop looking at him that way." "If I spot you doing that again, consider yourself dead!" "My..." "Listen to that..." "The world will have to run out of men before I bother with him." "You really..." "Aigoo..." "Of course you're free to have those fantasies." "Better be careful about that brat." "She was born to seduce men." "You did the right thing." "Saying her father died certainly beats telling her she's an orphan." "Hyejin is much more mature than other kids her age." "Looks like she's struggling as well." "People with nothing better to do will find any excuse to talk behind your back." "Just ignore it." "That's what I do." "Woo Younggeun." "Park Sangmi!" "You two come forward." "I thought I told you to come forward?" "!" "Hands up and on your knees." "Get on your knees and put your hands up!" "So listen, Woo Younggeun and Park Sangmi went around... spreading false rumors about me coming from an orphanage." "Take a look." "The man in the photo is my father." " Take a good look." " Who does he resemble?" "You know Ahn Sunggi Ajeosshi, don't you?" "He's my father's spitting image!" "At first I thought this was Ahn Sunggi Ajeosshi." "And you have the guts to laugh about this?" "You know how much I've been struggling over this?" "I really thought I was an orphan." "So take a good look." "This is my father." "He died in a car accident back in Ulsan, when I was little." "Show it around." "Who said you could put your hands down?" "You don't even deserve to be shown this picture." "Just a moment." "Your father called." "He said to bring Minjae along and come over during the holidays." " Go ahead." " How about you?" "I told you I'll be in Denver for a month, because of my new project." "We could still go together and then you can always leave earlier." "It's Minjae he wants to see, what's the point of coming as well?" "He keeps asking me when you'll wrap up things here in the States." "It sounds as if he'd like to entrust the company to you before age catches up with him." "But I have no interest in his company." "And what if you lose his favors altogether?" "I'll just have to accept it." "And Minjae?" "Minjae must inherit the company from you." "I don't want to raise Minjae that way." "Enough with all that tutoring you're shoving down his throat." "Violin, piano or whatever." "Stop forcing all that stress on him." "Minjae is my son." "Who said otherwise?" "So I'll raise him the way I want." "You really are a workaholic." "You could enjoy a life of leisure, why bother with work?" "You know how expensive those lessons are?" "With the money we're getting from my in-laws," "I could barely pay for my son's piano lessons." "Your husband is quite ambitious, isn't he?" "Are you trying to raise your son into a Superman?" "Right..." "Did you prepare what I asked?" "Check the top drawer." "So all tutors in the US only want cash?" "!" "Guess they don't want to pay taxes." "It's time already." "I'll have to go." "Minjae!" "Mom, why are you so late?" "Who were you talking with?" "This Korean ajumma asked me the way to Lincoln Tunnel." "A Korean ajumma?" "!" "Mom..." "I told you not to talk with strangers, didn't I?" "Is it good?" "The pizza you make is the best!" "Sorry... for getting angry at you." "I was the one who did wrong, anyway." "Mom." "I'll never talk with strangers again." "Instead, will you do me a favor?" "What is it?" "I want to ride the bus to school." "That's out of the question." "I want to take the bus to school and then back home." "I'll go out a moment." "Go upstairs for your art lesson." "Mom!" "I'll be in middle school this autumn." "I'm not a kid anymore, Mom." "Not until you're in high school." "Mom!" "Hey..." "You prick..." "You still don't get it?" "That's not my business!" "Okay?" "Where is all my money?" "Hey..." "My money!" "Shit!" "My money." "What?" "!" "Minjae!" "What?" "Ohh..." "Really..." "Hey, you prick!" "Give me back my money!" "Nayoung." "Your English is good, right?" "Why, is anything the matter?" "This prick is Spanish, and just because I introduced him the wrong person, he refuses to pay." "Should I give him a call?" "His English is no better than mine." "He was throwing around platitudes in broken English." "Forget it." "Will have to pay a street thug to see if a gun to his mouth does the trick." "Things are getting harder by the day..." "I didn't want to stoop this low, at least for Minjae's sake." "Ever been to Minjae's school?" "Think I'm that crazy?" "Why would I ever try to meet him?" "It'd only make me feel worse." "I mean..." "I don't even remember his face." "Of course I don't..." "You locked him in that incubator the moment I gave birth to him." "Don't you want to see him?" "And what would be the point?" "Trying to test me?" "Just thought you might have wanted to meet him, that's all." "You still gave birth to him, after all." "Like someone who resorts to selling out her child would have the nerve..." "I see the envelope is heavier than usual?" "!" "Can't go on meeting each other every month, it's a nuisance for both." "It's perfectly fine with me." "30,000 dollars, for the next six months' expenses." "So when are you giving me that store?" "Give me a little more time." " Once it's ready, I'll..." " I can't take this anymore!" "I need my own shop." "Having to beg for pocket money has made me miserable." "Thank you for living up to your word all this time." " Hope I can keep counting on you." " I told you I don't even remember his face!" "Break your promise and you'll face even greater misery." "Because if you do, then I'll be forced to hold you responsible." "You always try to intimidate people that way, don't you?" "You've been living here a lot longer than me, so you should know the deal." "Yes..." "I sure do." "That you can get someone killed for a hundred bucks." "Keep your promise." "So give me a good reason to!" "As if you were feeding the goddamned pigeons, one handful at a time..." "I'll be waiting." "For the day Youngmin becomes chairman of Atlantic Group." "And I'll have to give it my all so that one day I can become a chairman's mother." "Isn't that right?" "Thank you!" "It's a special grant, so you can take your time." "I apologize." "I haven't visited in far too long." "I said you didn't need to bother, didn't I?" "I don't know when I might come again, so I brought you some warm clothes for the winter." "I said I don't want to see your face again, didn't I?" "I didn't want to come, either." "So why are you here?" "The prison kept calling me..." "All the more reason why you shouldn't come, was that so hard to get?" "They're treating me quite well these days." "I never asked to see anyone, but they kept pestering me, asking if I wanted any visitors." "That's not the reason..." "It's not what you're thinking." "Jeongsuk." "You..." "Even if I die here, don't ever forgive me." "Since I ruined your life." "I think... that all this was destined to happen." "Destined?" "!" "If I had told my father that you were the one I liked a little earlier..." "So if I ended up marrying you, nothing would have happened to our family." "You wouldn't have needed to force yourself on me, and my father wouldn't have collapsed seeing that." "And you surely wouldn't have had to kill someone for my own sake." "So this was all in our destiny." "So... don't ever feel sorry for me." "Still..." "I feel sorry anyway." "I'm really happy now." "Hyejin is growing into a healthy and strong girl, and business is doing fine." "All the new friends I've made are kind, decent people." "Really?" "I mean it." "Then..." "Then." "I can die in peace." "Why are you talking like that?" "You've spent the last ten years here without a problem." "Jungu..." "I'll come more often." "So don't say that." "Ac..." "Actually, I was a little scared." "I told the warden that Yoon Jeongsuk was the only person I wanted to see, but I was worried you wouldn't come..." "So that's why I said I didn't want to meet anyone." "Didn't I tell you I'll come more often?" "I've had my problems..." "Aigoo..." "Come on..." "I'm not blaming you for not coming more often." "I better go." "Listen." "Hyejin..." "Take good care of her." "Got it?" "Let's go." "Hyejin, come here." "Hyejin, come back here." "If the whale bites you, you'll die!" "Have you ever tried whale meat?" "I have." "Was it good?" "It was." "You mean it?" "Gather at our HQ later." "I'll bring you whale meat." "See you later!" "You little rascals!" "So I hear another whale got caught in the fishing net?" "Happens quite frequently these days." "Shall we start selling whale meat, then?" "Don't even joke about it!" "Don't you know that selling or buying it is illegal?" "So, what, are you just going to throw all that meat away?" "Then again, would be a waste, uh?" "So listen, go fetch some whale meat for us at the dock." "Let's have a taste." "What are you doing?" "I'll bring it back right away." "Where would you use a kitchen knife?" "Hyejin..." "Where are you going?" "To eat whale meat." "Do you even realize how tasty this is?" "Take a look." "Try it out." "Here..." "It tastes great." "Come on." "Good, isn't it?" "Try some more." "Don't you want to see him?" "Like someone who resorts to selling out her child would have the nerve..."
