It's been four years.
Today, you're taking your first step into pure agony.
I'll make you regret coming back out to this world...
to the point that you'll feel being behind bars was more comfortable.
You said even death is too much of a luxury for me.
Because of what you said, I endured it all and survived.
Just like how there are things that you have to do,
there are things that I ought to take care of as well.
Hence, I will continue to live and survive...
even if it'll lead me to more suffering.
What do you think will be waiting for you at the end of that path?
I'm already thrilled for you.
I'll keep my eyes wide open and watch what goes down.
Don't take your eyes off her and watch her carefully.
All right, ma'am.
Dal Nim! Dal Nim!
- Dal Nim! - Geum Sook!
Dal Nim, I missed you.
I'm sorry I came late.
I couldn't find you here and thought you weren't coming.
I told you when I visited you that I'll come to meet you...
when you leave prison.
Eat this first.
Thank you, Geum Sook.
We'll never come back here again.
What are you doing? Let's go.
All right. Let's go.
Goodbye, gloomy days.
Goodbye, lonely tears, we'll be happy now.
When we get married,
let's go on a trip every year on our wedding anniversary.
We'll make a food map after travelling around the world...
on our 1st, 2nd, 50th, and on our golden wedding anniversary.
You'll write your columns and I will draw...
to make a book of our own.
We made a promise, Jae Hee.
You will write and I will draw.
When I fill out this notebook,
will I be able to forget you?
Where are you?
I'm eating bibimbap with the money you gave me.
It's so delicious.
(Yangpyeong)
Are you in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province?
That's right. How did you know?
You can run, but you can't hide.
Let's live here together.
It's a small room,
but we're thin. We can live here together.
Thank you so much. Honestly, I had nowhere else to go.
I'll pay the rent and the living expenses.
You don't need to thank me.
This is nothing compared to what you did for me at the prison.
You went to prison first, and then I followed.
I was so happy to meet you again.
We stayed together throughout the times we spent in prison.
We were meant to be.
- You should unpack first. - All right.
(Nara Bankbook)
Isn't this the money you received while you were in prison?
It's a huge amount of money.
Did you save everything up without spending any of it?
I don't know who it is, but you should be thankful.
But don't you still know who it was?
It must be someone you know...
as it came regularly.
- Don't you have any guesses? - I don't know.
Maybe it's your mom.
I had a feeling while we were at the prison together...
that the money could have come from your mom.
She must have felt sorry to have left you...
which is why she sent you money...
and books to read. What do you think?
I have thought about that too.
Don't you ever blame your mom?
How could I? It's my mom.
She must have had a reason.
My mom could never do that.
By the way, why didn't you use any of this?
If it's really from my mom,
I feel too sorry to use it.
It would have been hard for her to send that much money...
as she's living a tough life too.
And if it's from someone else,
I can't just use the money sent by a stranger.
I can't understand you.
Whoever it was, it's for you.
If it was mine, I would have used it all.
Are you hungry?
I'll cook for you. Wait a moment.
It's all right. I need to go somewhere.
- Where? - I'll tell you after I come back.
Then let's have a barbecue party with soju at night.
I'll prepare everything. Don't be late.
All right. I'll be back soon.
Gosh, Dal Nim.
Why did she write the password here?
Someone might see it.
Gosh, what are you thinking?
You know what this is to her.
Even if I need money, this isn't right.
This is no better than an animal.
But this money could change my life.
With this...
Sit down here.
Are you the owner of this place?
Yes, why?
I'm sorry, but I need to ask you something.
I'm looking for someone.
How long have you been working here?
It's been about four years.
Do you know by chance where the former owner went?
I don't know.
When I bought this place, it was empty.
I don't even know who owned this place before.
Okay.
Who is this?
- Sir! - You're Dal Nim, right?
It's been such a long time. Are you feeling all right?
You've been through a lot. When did you leave prison?
- I came out today. - I see.
Are you here to find your mom?
Yes. Do you know where she is?
No, she left without a word. She hasn't called since.
After I heard she left,
I asked around the market about where she went.
Strangely, no one knew.
Hello? All right. I'll be there.
Dal Nim, I need to go now.
Visit me again when you have time.
I won't be of much help,
but I can at least get you a job. All right?
All right.
It's been suspended for four years.
If someone else is using it, we can't do anything about it.
I can't do with another number. I need to use this number.
If my number changes,
my mom won't be able to find me.
This is the only way we can contact each other.
Wait a moment.
Fortunately, it's not being used.
Does that mean I can use it?
Yes, if you pay the unpaid fees.
It's 480 dollars.
I didn't bring that much money. I'll be back with the money.
Why is this outside?
Did she go grocery shopping?
Geum Sook.
The door might fall out. Stop banging the door.
There's no one there.
What do you mean?
The girl who used to live there paid off all the rent...
and emptied the room.
What do you mean? Where did she go?
How would I know?
That's your bag, right?
She asked me to give it to you.
There must be something wrong.
She never told me she was going anywhere.
I gave you the bag. Goodbye.
Wait a moment.
If you have a cell phone, can I borrow it for a moment?
Thank you.
(Geum Sook)
The receiver cannot answer your call.
Please leave a message...
She won't answer your call even if you call again.
She must have been determined to leave.
- Give it to me if you're done. - All right.
Good morning.
- Prepare a bath for me. - Yes, ma'am.
Where's the music box?
Where is she?
She's on the second floor.
Hey, hey!
Yes, ma'am?
Did you put away the music box on Jae Hee's desk?
That is... I broke it while cleaning.
I told you to be careful.
I told you to put everything in the right place...
and not to throw anything away.
Jae Hee liked that music box the most.
Get out right now.
I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time.
- I told you to get out. - Ma'am.
Go inside. Do your job.
Calm down. Don't get upset.
How can I calm down?
It's Jae Hee's.
I'll buy the same music box.
Don't get upset.
It's no use.
It's not the one Jae Hee used.
I'll teach her never to do this again.
Forgive her this time.
It won't be easy to get another help like that.
I brought the clothes you ordered. Look at this.
Cheer up.
What's this sauce?
It's not the one we had before.
It was out of stock,
so I had to change it to a similar product.
You know she has allergies.
Why did you buy this one?
Look here. It has shrimp powder.
What should I do? I made a mistake.
I told you.
You need to check the product ingredients carefully.
What if she ate this without knowing?
Throw it away.
And bring me the list I gave you.
This list has everything from what she likes, she dislikes,
things she cannot eat, and so on.
If you just follow this, there won't be any problem.
But what happened?
I won't forgive you if you make a mistake like this again.
I'll be more careful next time.
I gave her a warning.
It won't happen again. I'll get going now.
Yoo Kyung.
Why? Do you need anything?
If you need anything, just tell me.
It's nothing. Have a safe trip.
Goodbye.
Why do I always have to do this?
If I use this well...
- Welcome, Se Na. - Where's Ms. Ko?
She's worrying over Sun Ho.
Eun Jung, Se Na is here.
Hello.
- How have you been? - Sit here.
- Do you want to drink something? - No, it's all right.
How are you feeling?
I thought you'd be worried.
Don't worry about Sun Ho.
He told me he was well.
Where is he?
Will you go there if you find out?
Just leave him be.
When you did that last time Se Na told you,
he became really mad...
and went somewhere else.
I don't know if he's even eating well.
Look. He says he had bibimbap.
Even if he doesn't call us,
it's nice to know that he's contacting you at least.
When will he ever stop travelling around?
I trust in him.
I think he's trying to find himself,
not lose himself.
He'll come back. We need to have trust in him and wait.
Thank you for staying next to Sun Ho.
I seem to be always thanking you.
It's nothing. Don't say that.
Now that you're here, you should have dinner with us.
Please stay here. I'll prepare dinner.
I went grocery shopping.
They had good seafood.
How about a spicy seafood stew?
I feel so sorry every time.
Take her to her room and rest.
I'll call you when I'm ready.
All right. Even if I offer to help,
I'll just break plates and cause more trouble.
To strangers, it'll look like...
she's your daughter-in-law.
What are you saying? Don't say that.
Mother will get angry.
Why not? Se Na's great.
We'll become in-laws twice.
She's great to Sun Ho,
but she can't become his wife.
Why are you here at this hour?
I visited Sun Ho's house...
and I thought of you. I thought I'd go home together.
How is Se Kang?
You always ask about him first.
Are you only worried about him and not me?
Why do you have to say it like that?
I'm just worried because he's living...
in his wife's house.
Don't worry. Even if he were to be in Siberia,
he'd become friends with polar bears.
He'd even get a beef soup in temples.
Isn't this Jae Hee's music box?
It is.
Why do you have this?
It's even broken. Why didn't you throw it away?
Excuse me, can I borrow your phone?
Thank you.
The receiver cannot answer your call.
Please leave a message...
(Sauna)
Mom.
I wish I could meet you...
at least once.
Mom.
(Company CEO, Cha Bok Nam, Investing Company CEO, Yoon Yi Ran)
The franchise agreement for...
Choigo Foods and Hyunsung Holdings has been signed.
Thank you for having faith in us.
It is said that wise men do not fight in losing battles.
I think I'll win in this battle.
The person in charge is Ms. Hong.
You are right.
She led everything to success...
when she was in charge.
I'll look forward to it.
Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best to get the best results.
As you already know, franchises...
aren't blue oceans. They are red oceans.
That is why for differentiation,
we intend to hire famous chefs.
Who do you have in mind?
We can't disclose the details yet.
We're trying to recruit the chef in secret.
If you came here you should have come in.
- Hello. - Let's go inside.
- Did you have breakfast? - Yes.
Well, I...
What are you doing? Start working.
Yes, sir!
Isn't that Chef Jung Jae Wook?
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
You are violating my portrait rights.
I'll forgive you as you are beautiful.
How did you know I was in Korea?
I just finished the collaboration with a hotel in Tokyo...
and dropped by before I left for New York.
So how did I know your unofficial schedules?
Someone I know worked as a staff...
for your collaboration work.
He gave me a tip-off.
What is his name?
How dare he tell my schedules to outsiders?
I'll never tell.
By the way, where are we going?
(Yangpyeong Restaurant)
What is this? Are we here to eat?
You wanted to eat something special.
I wanted you to have something special.
You won't regret it.
Gosh. Work properly.
Why can't you chop firewood?
I made one mistake.
If you don't finish this, I won't give you dinner.
Don't worry. I'm good at this.
Jae Wook.
I can't believe I'm having lunch with the Chef of the Year...
by the Culinary Institute of America,
who created the Soybean Paste Stew Foie Gras...
that is highly praised by Hollywood celebrities.
It's an honor.
You've been travelling around. How do you know so well?
I don't know about anything else,
but I know everything about you.
Eat up. It's delicious here.
Okay.
This is it. The taste I'm used to and always miss.
It is, right?
I told you you won't regret it.
How long will you stay here like this?
What's wrong with being here?
I like my life as it is.
Yes. It's nice to see that you're having a good time,
but you need to go back to where you were.
I don't see the reason I need to go back.
When are you leaving for New York?
I'll visit Jae Hee's charnel house tomorrow...
and leave that night.
That fast?
I dropped by because it's her birthday.
It was probably more delicious because I had it with a friend...
that I missed a lot.
Someone I'm used to and miss from the past that I want to go back to.
But...
you know that we can't go back even if we wanted to.
I think you should go back to where you were...
and keep the past as a memory.
I hope you're not bound by the time you can't go back to.
Don't you want to go back with us?
No, I'll go to Jae Hee straight away tomorrow.
Have a safe trip.
All right. Take care.
We'll get going. See you tomorrow.
Are you going to stay at a hotel and not go home?
Ms. Yoon will be upset.
She doesn't know I'm here.
You shouldn't tell her.
All right. But I need to tell you something.
What is it?
I had the best lunch in the world. I'm willing to listen.
The chef in charge?
Yes, we're starting a franchise business.
I want you to be the chef in charge.
This is the proposal.
I'm sorry, but I don't want to come back to Korea.
Just consider it.
If you read it, you might change your mind.
- I won't change my mind. - Jae Wook.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Goodbye.
You'll need to sleep in the sofa today.
But tomorrow, I'll get you a temporary bed.
Thank you so much.
You don't need to thank me. Even after hearing what happened,
I couldn't even visit you because of all the work.
I'm the one to be sorry.
I'll clean up and lock the doors.
You should go home and rest.
All right. See you tomorrow.
- Bye. - Bye.
Mom.
I came back to the place where we used to live together.
It feels so good as if you were here with me.
(Police Station)
What? She's not registered?
That can't be true. Please check again.
Kang Soon Hee,
born in 1960.
There wasn't any report.
Look here.
I made a leaflet to find your mom.
I'm putting it up everywhere...
and going around the village...
to pass it around whenever I have time.
She told me she reported to the police.
It's your mom right?
And she left home four years ago?
Yes.
To be honest, I was occupied and couldn't contact her.
What should I do? Should I file a disappearance report?
Yes, please.
Dal Nim.
Hello.
It's really you.
I heard you came out.
How have you been?
Of course.
It's a relief.
You can always live your way out when you're healthy.
That way you'll meet your mom.
Do you know where she is?
No. But after she left,
I met some man who visited the restaurant...
who asked about your mom.
- A man? - Yes, a young man.
Hello? All right.
I must be out of my mind.
A customer was supposed visit for a contract.
You should go.
- All right. I'll visit soon. - Okay.
The man must have been Se Kang.
Are you done already?
Yes, I finished cutting the meat too.
You are indeed the Butchering Witch.
You haven't forgotten your skills.
Can I visit somewhere for a moment?
I need to do something.
Okay. If you're done, you're free to go.
I'll clean up afterwards.
Mr. Hong, your pose is so nice.
You look better than models.
Thank you. Thank you.
Se Kang?
Wait a moment.
We'll shoot with your wife this time.
Shall we?
We are affectionate...
and we say we love each every day.
I think love is about expressing.
- I love you. - I love you more.
Excuse me. Can you move out of the way?
Gosh.
Can't you hear me?
We'll go out this time and shoot a lunch box date.
Okay.
- What are you doing? - What?
Why do you look so pale?
Is it because of the interviews?
I'm fine.
But you look so pale.
Maybe you were too nervous.
We should rest a little.
We'll take a break.
Are you all right?
Se Kang.
When did you come out?
It's been a few days.
How are you feeling? Are you all right?
Yes.
Why did you come all the way here?
I don't have any feelings for you...
nor do I have any grudge against you.
I just needed to ask you something.
Do you know anything about the whereabouts of my mom?
- Se Kang. - No.
No.
Didn't you say you reported to the police?
I checked at the police station, but they said...
there weren't any registered reports.
What are you saying? We did.
You must have been mistaken.
You should check with the police station again.
All right.
If you did it, you must be right.
I just wanted to make sure.
My mom, Se Na, and I used to give out leaflets...
whenever we had time.
How's your mom?
She's doing fine.
I can't afford to visit your mom right now.
Please tell her that I would've like to.
All right.
I...
Dal Nim.
I have a favor to ask.
As you saw there,
I'm married, and I've become a husband.
My wife doesn't know anything about us.
That is why...
I think you shouldn't come visit me.
I'm sorry for saying this.
No, I wasn't thinking straight.
I should've known you were married.
You look happy.
I told you...
you'd be able to meet someone nice.
I hope you are happy and well.
I mean it.
And don't worry.
I won't come back.
- I'll go. - Wait, Dal Nim.
- I'm sorry. This is all I can do. - No, don't do this.
- You should have it. - No.
You should have it.
Dal Nim.
Be safe wherever you are.
I hope you find your mom.
I'll get going.
By the way,
where is Jung Jae Hee's charnel house?
Jae Hee,
you know the truth.
I don't know about anyone else,
but you know the truth.
I'll prove it.
I'll find out...
who did this...
to you and me,
my mom, and my baby.
I know it won't be easy.
But I won't give up...
for you, me,
my mom,
and my baby.
What are you doing here?
How dare you come here?
(Sweet Enemy)
- She was released from prison. - What?
You should go back home.
Can't you call me mother?
I'll be good to your mom.
- I'll stay at home for a while. - Who said you could?
Why do you think Sun Ho would be like that?
Before you go, please read this.
What is this?
Goodbye.
Isn't he the secretary from Hyunsung Holdings?
Everyone, listen to me.
We had a baby together.
