I'll give you what you want, lady!

Stop it, you jerk!

-I'll... -Stop!

I'll give you what you want!

-Stop! -Stay still!

-Let go! -Stay still!

Stop right there!

Why are you here?

Do you have a death wish?

With just a phone call from me to the police,

your life would be over.

Oh, right.

It wouldn't be just your life.

That woman's life would be destroyed too.

That would be quite the sight!

With just a phone call to the police,

my life would be over.

And that woman's life would be destroyed too.

Well...

go ahead and try.

But the moment you leave this apartment,

you'll disappear without a trace.

(Final Episode)

(Final Episode: Truth Behind the Incident 2)

How should I chop up the bell pepper?

Mother.

Are you sure you washed this?

Yes.

Why?

It's dirty...

We can just cut that part out.

Yoo-bin.

Have you ever chopped up bell peppers before?

No.

What is this?

That...

When I went to the market, that was on sale.

So I...

Anyway, I bought all of these,

so I can make you healthy meals.

Dad's here!

Dad!

Yoo-bin!

Welcome home.

Mom's so bad at cooking.

This is...

easier than I thought.

Come on.

Jeez.

Okay, should we get started?

Yoo-bin!

Honey!

You're really going to go?

Of course!

Okay.

(Coach)

My coach is calling.

I need to take this phone call.

So you two talk.

Yes, Coach.

I...

can never accept you as my son's girlfriend.

Yes.

But I will think of you as my daughter.

Because no matter what a daughter does, you can forgive her.

I thought of this solution for my sake.

So don't be touched.

Just...

Call me "Mom".

Then even if you break up with Ji-wook,

you and I can still be daughter and Mom.

I never had the opportunity...

to call someone "Mom" before.

Call me "Mom" to make up for all the times you couldn't.

I want a daughter to call me "Mom" too.

Mom.

Did you say something to Ae-ra again?

Jeez!

I told you it's fine, but you invited us.

No, Ji-wook.

It's not what you think.

I'm sorry, Ae-ra.

I apologize on behalf of my mother.

Don't cry, Ae-ra.

Sweetheart.

Sons are useless, sweetheart.

I hope you have a daughter, you jerk.

Okay, ladies.

For this movie,

you need to be bolder.

You need to be sexier!

Okay?

Director Cho!

Say hello.

They weren't as popular as your wife.

But they reigned over the porn industry in the the 1990s.

They're the Troika!

They're called the Big Bust Ladies!

Hello.

Have a seat.

What are you waiting for? Have a seat!

Yes, ma'am.

He's Director Cho Hyung-woo.

He's the husband of Ms. Kang Kyeong-ja, your role model!

You're Kyeong-ja's husband?

Oh, my!

It's an honor!

Hyung-woo!

But...

why are you here, Director Cho?

Weren't you filming a 10 million dollar budget movie?

Pardon?

Kyeong-ja and the three of us beat up that Park Si-oh or whatever his name was.

What... are you talking about?

(Contract)

Happy now?

Well...

Should we get started?

Mr. Park.

To be honest,

I hate mundane things.

So...

I prepared a special event.

You'll go along with it, right?

Of course!

Of course!

You're the best, Ms. Kang.

The best!

Present.

Choose whatever you want.

Open up.

It's so nice to just look at you like this instead of working!

Honey.

It's nice to play around like this, right?

Mr. Park.

I won't repeat myself.

If you don't do as you promised on the contract just now,

you and I will take rat poison and die in the middle of the city!

Got it?

The end!

The end!

If you ever use that wretched mouth of yours

to call my husband an idiot or a loser again,

then without anyone ever finding out,

I will break your neck!

-Got it? -Got it?

I... I understand.

Jeez!

These days,

there's no woman who would do something so dangerous for her husband.

-She's right. -Kyeong-ja should be rewarded.

She should be!

So...

why are you here instead of filming that 10 million budget movie?

I know, right?

I...

I will see another time.

Hyung-woo!

Where is he going?

That hurts!

I love you.

Even after death,

I will love only you, Kang Kyeong-ja.

What's wrong with you all of a sudden?

Cho Hyung-woo! You got in trouble again, didn't you?

Honey.

Please kill me.

Don't ask any questions.

Please just kill me.

What's wrong?

Why are you doing this?

You're making me feel uneasy!

Why didn't you...

tell me that you made...

Park Si-oh sign a contract?

Why didn't you tell me?

I had no idea!

Why didn't you tell me?

Get up! Your legs will fall asleep!

Who told you?

From your friends.

We met at the movie studio today.

I heard they were filming a movie. I guess it was your movie.

Cho Hyung-woo.

Let me ask just one question.

You thought I slept with Park Si-oh.

So why did you stay with me?

You can put up with it?

That's because...

more than being angry that you slept with the bastard,

I knew that you loved me that much.

That's why I stayed with you.

Honey.

Thank you for...

living with a loser like me.

And I'm really sorry that...

I jumped to conclusions.

I'm glad you know.

Don't you ever jump to conclusions again.

If you do, I'll do exactly just that.

I love you, honey.

Make sure you're free tomorrow.

We have to go somewhere.

Go somewhere?

Where?

Is she going to buy me another suit again?

Good.

Japchae is Yoo-bin's favorite dish.

So you should learn how to make this first.

Yes.

Don't you regret taking a leave of absence from the hospital?

You just became a professor.

You should work.

Being a mother is more important to me right now.

You've been a mother and a father to him until now.

So I should do it now.

It won't be easy.

The thing is...

you can't perfect it overnight, Jung-hae.

That's why you're helping me like this.

Yes. Tell me whenever you're having a hard time.

I'll be on standby 24/7, 365 days.

I wonder if Yoo-bin's going to grow taller.

He's been sleeping so much.

He's probably tired from helping out his mom

who's bad at household chores these days.

I'm so relieved that Yoo-bin's by your side.

You're not relieved that it's the other way around?

Yes.

Jeez.

Whatever.

You're good!

Should we do it again?

Our Yoo-bin's going to be taller.

He will grow taller.

You grow as much as you're in pain.

I should go now, Jung-hae.

Yes.

Thanks for the side dishes.

Don't mention it.

Don't skip your meals.

Make sure you eat.

Don't just eat anything because you're alone.

Of course.

I'm worried that I'll eat too much.

I should go.

Yes, goodbye.

If anything happens,

I'll come running right away.

Okay.

Go.

See you.

Take care.

Yes, ma'am.

Honey.

Why did we come to a temple?

Drink.

It will cleanse your blood and calm you down.

It's chrysanthemum tea.

Stop joking around.

Even if you hated me that much,

this isn't right!

Hurry up and take that off.

Let's go home.

My home is here.

Drink and leave.

Mom!

Mom!

At one point,

I resented you.

You were everything to me.

But you didn't understand how I felt so...

I was unhappy that things weren't going my way.

But...

I realized all that resentment and hatred

stemmed from my greed.

I realized how foolish I was.

After giving up everything,

I'm happy and at peace now.

Mom!

So...

don't worry about me and go.

She's waiting for you.

How can I leave?

How can I go when you're like this?

Hurry up and take this off so we can go home!

Although we're no longer related now,

I'm sure we'll meet again under different circumstances someday.

-Goodbye. -Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

When I told her I'll give her everything,

she said she's leaving.

She took everything of mine

I really loved her at one point

I believed everything like a fool.

I guess all women are the same.

I guess my baby's in love these days.

Why are you singing a love song so sincerely?

He had a girl he liked.

But I guess things didn't work out with the girl named Ga-yeon.

Ma'am.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea that Yoo-bin was so sick.

Why are you sorry?

Besides, he's healthy again.

He's not healthy!

Didn't you see that he only ate two bowls of rice

when he usually eats three bowls?

My goodness!

That's enough.

Two bowls are enough.

Are you trying to make him die from eating too much?

I was trying hard not to show my concern.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I'll get you some water.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm fine.

You still haven't thrown that away?

How could I?

It's a gift from my knight in shining armor.

Jeez, that damn knight in shining armor.

Is he some kind of rabbit?

What's with the four-leaf clover?

If I die first,

then please bury this umbrella with me.

Don't worry.

I'll find the jerk who gave you that umbrella,

and I'll beat him to death so you two can be buried together!

Okay?

Did you find it?

What is this?

Oh, this.

My mom embroidered this for me when I went to college.

She put it on all my shoes, bags, and umbrella!

I was so embarrassed back then.

I took out everything behind my mom's back.

And I just ran off with just the umbrella.

Then the person...

who gave me his umbrella at the bus stop...

Was that you?

Didn't I tell you?

That I was the owner of that umbrella?

What?

This stop is Yeongang University.

Next stop is Exit 2 of Yeongang University.

That day,

a girl I've never seen before...

was crying in front of me.

For some reason, I felt like crying too.

So at that moment, I made a promise.

That I'll make this woman smile forever.

But...

I made you cry even more because of me.

I'm really sorry, Jung-hae.

I...

I had no idea.

You're so bad.

Well, since I'm a bad guy anyway now,

I know it's late but...

let me confess something.

Nam Jung-hae.

My first love is...

you.

Oh, my!

Forget it.

Should we go back up?

When did you find out?

Do you remember the day I told you

I was going to the hot springs overnight?

It was the day your mother officially became a member of the temple.

Are you sleeping there?

Yes, I'm going to sleep here.

Oh, my goodness!

My wife is finally spending the night at the hot springs!

You said you were going to sleep there!

You stink!

I guess she had a drink after she went up Mount Bukhan with Aunt Choon-ja.

Why did she go there? Didn't she go to the hot springs?

I begged her and tried to persuade her. But it was no use.

I'm sorry.

Why would you apologize?

It's my fault.

After going through Ji-wook's incident,

I understood how your mother felt.

And I hated myself.

So I wanted to shave my head and join the temple.

Unbelievable.

But I remembered when your mother held my hands and told me something.

What did she say?

"Hyung-woo is your son now."

"Please take care of Hyung-woo for me."

So when people ask me about my family,

I tell them I live with two sons without a husband.

That's what I said.

Thank you so much.

And I love you.

I love you too.

After being betrayed by my closest friend,

I was forced to retire from my job.

My mother died in surgery.

I couldn't bear to live on while I was sober.

So I was drinking whenever I was awake.

I would yell at your mom for no good reason.

I would break everything.

Back then,

I thought it was the only way to keep what little pride I had as a man.

But now that I think about it,

I don't know why I did such crazy things.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

I'll just resent you for the rest of my life.

So don't say, "I'm sorry" or "It's my fault."

I know I was never a father to you.

I regret that the most.

I'm sorry.

Goong-chul.

I told you to don't do that.

Just...

yell and shout like you did before.

You don't have to be a father to me.

Please don't do this, Father. Please...

Please don't do this.

When a man matures,

when he gets old,

it may mean he's dying.

We learn the precious truths of life by living life.

We learn the depth of life

based on how much time has passed by and how much we suffered.

When we're my father's age,

what other kind of truth of life will we have learned?

In our 40s,

we're making our own milestones of life

instead of following those made by others.

(Congratulations on opening!)

(A Man's Soaring)

(Middle-aged men's playground)

Hey, you washed your hands, right?

Of course.

Hyung-woo, please put up the menu.

Please wipe down the utensils too.

Choon-bok, please put up the balloons.

-Yes. -Blow a lot of balloons.

-We need more? -Blow about a 100.

100? That many?

I guess you liked balloons?

Isn't this too cheap?

We should've increased the prices.

No.

Choon-bok, you put it on the wrong way.

It's crooked. Make sure it's straight.

Okay.

That scared me!

Jeez!

Why you little!

Goodbye! Please come again!

Excuse me!

Please give us another bottle of soju!

Okay! Please wait a minute!

Choon-bok, hurry up!

-Please enjoy! -Thank you!

-Excuse me! -Yes, I'll bring it right away!

Eun-sil, eat up.

Yes, I understand!

Which table does this go to?

Of course!

Mr. Ahn!

-Over here! -Yes?

Mr. Ahn, come join us!

Over here!

Hurry!

I knew you would end up this way, Mr. Ahn!

Right, honey?

He's not a director anymore.

He's the CEO!

Boss!

It tastes way better than High-Five!

Mr. Ahn, you're the best!

This is the best chicken I ever tasted!

You mean that, right?

Of course!

I may lie about other things.

But I never lied about food.

How could you say something's delicious when it's not?

That's unacceptable! Right?

This chicken's really delicious!

By the way,

don't you need a honorary ambassador?

If you want, then I can do it for a very cheap price!

What about High-Five Chicken?

He was fired last week.

I guess the word got out.

My youngest is still in kindergarten.

But my oldest is becoming a high school senior next year.

So...

my future looks bleak!

I'm worried about it!

I'm not telling you this to pressure you, Mr. Ahn.

Anyway, thank you very much for coming today!

-Yes. -Yes.

Please tell me anytime if you need anything.

I'll give you everything for free today!

Eat all you want!

How great!

I'll show him how much I can eat!

Give me the whelk.

Okay. Here we go.

Hae-sook gave me so much before she left.

How can I ever repay her?

She left before I even had the chance to repay her.

That's why people say friendship is greater than love.

I thought it seemed empty.

Now that I think about it, Jae-hoon's not here.

Why didn't he come on a day like today?

I wonder if he's okay.

Why?

You know...

what Hae-sook took was...

an empty suitcase.

An empty suitcase.

Are you sure you didn't put on a show,

knowing the evidence is gone?

Yes.

Whether it's for show or not...

isn't important.

The important thing is...

those things disappeared from the world forever.

Goodness!

I'm dying.

I'm dying.

It's not easy to own a bar.

There's nothing easy in life.

I really don't know much about life.

Choon-bok, are you okay?

Keep this a secret.

But my thighs are very strong! They're like a horse's!

Choon-bok.

I have to admit you're right! You were running around all day!

He's not just a horse. He's a horny horse.

I wonder if it's because I'm taking dance lessons.

My body is so healthy now!

I think it's very effective.

At this rate, I might have another kid.

Really?

-Is it that good? -It really is.

I never knew that Choon-bok was so strong!

He was flying around with beer mugs in both hands!

I never bragged about it before.

But my husband is very strong.

I see.

So you wanted to say that your husband is the most handsome?

Oh, Kyeong-ja.

You know he's handsome, regardless of everything else.

Fine. Let's just say he is.

You'll cry your eyes out if I tell you he's ugly.

Jung-hae.

Are things okay between you two?

Yes, we're good.

Even if all the married couples in the world divorce,

I thought you two would never get one.

I feel bad.

Divorce isn't always a bad thing.

Life is like household goods that eventually break down one by one.

When you repair a broken refrigerator,

your washer breaks down.

When you repair that, your rice cooker goes crazy.

You're right.

It would be nice if there's a household good that never breaks down.

You're right though.

The human body breaks down here and there too.

I should go home now.

Jung-hae, we should meet up more often from now on.

-Yes. -I'll come visit with lots of good food!

Okay.

Goodbye!

-Bye! -Bye!

I'll go this way.

-See you. -Goodbye.

Choon-bok!

How could he not show up?

Jae-hoon's not even a friend now.

I'm sure he had a good reason.

Jae-hoon.

When did you come?

Why do you look so sick?

Did you eat?

Do you want something to eat?

It was you, right?

You took them, right?

If Hae-sook didn't take them, you're the only one left.

Where did you hide those things?

I don't know.

I wonder where I hid them.

Why are you doing this?

I'm asking what your intentions are!

You said you want to pay for what you did!

You're the one who decides...

how to pay for your sins.

Who can put a price on your sins?

Staying in jail for a few years?

That's not really paying for your sins.

You know something?

When I think about what you did,

I hate you so much that I want to kill you.

But when I think about how you saved Yoo-bin,

I'm so grateful that I would die for you.

When I think about you,

I can't be resentful or grateful!

Do you know how crappy that makes me feel?

Just hate me!

Don't be grateful!

Just hate me!

Hate you?

No.

I'll forgive you.

I'll forgive you for everything, Jung Jae-hoon.

That way, I'll make you repent for what you did.

I told you.

You can't be the culprit.

And you can't turn yourself in.

So...

live with this for the rest of your life.

Like Man-sik did.

You should...

suffer too.

Then what about you?

Do you think you can forget about this?

What about Hyung-woo and Choon-bok?

And what about Jung-hae?

She will live, feeling guilty for many years!

My cellphone...

Mr. Jung Jae-hoon?

It's been a while.

Yes.

It's been a while.

I heard Yoo-bin's back home.

Yes.

It's been a week.

I should go.

Jae-hoon.

Thank you.

For saving our Yoo-bin.

Don't mention it.

I would've saved him, even if he wasn't Yoo-bin.

I'm a doctor.

Yes.

You were a doctor.

But why did you kill him?

I heard you turned yourself in.

For Joo Kang-san's murder.

Did you really...

kill him?

Yes.

It was me.

I was hoping it wasn't you.

How could you do that? How?

How could you kill someone, Jae-hoon?

I was a doctor when I saved Yoo-bin.

But I was Jung Jae-hoon when I killed that bastard.

What?

It's all over anyway.

Go. You just need to forget about everything and live on.

How could I forget?

You killed someone because of me.

Someone died because of me!

Everything became a mess because of me!

I won't forget.

I'll feel as guilty as you do.

No, I'll suffer more than you do.

But you know...

even if I could turn back time,

even if you do kill someone because of me,

I will still...

not choose you.

So, Jae-hoon...

please just abandon me now.

Okay?

Okay.

Goodbye.

I should go.

What's wrong with you?

It's nothing. I'm just a little tired.

Jae-hoon.

Don't come!

Don't come near me.

From now on,

don't come to me.

Goong-chul.

Then...

Hae-sook didn't take those things?

Just be honest with us.

Did you hide those things?

(Middle-aged men's playground)

The rain is coming down quietly.

As if telling memories of the past.

When it rains like this,

I remember that day.

This is for Kang-san.

This is...

for your sins.

I told you.

You can't be the culprit.

And you can't turn yourself in.

So...

live with this for the rest of your life.

Like Man-sik did.

You should...

suffer too.

But you know...

even if I could turn back time,

even if you do kill someone because of me,

I will still...

...not choose you.

So, Jae-hoon...

Please abandon me now.

Okay?

I feel like he would show up someday.

When I look back,

there's no one there.

There are only raindrops falling down in loneliness.

Jae-hoon!

Jung Jae-hoon!

Jung Jae-hoon! You're inside, right?

Jung Jae-hoon, open the door!

Jung Jae-hoon, open the door!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon! Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon! Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon, open the door!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

-Jae-hoon! -Go.

Don't ever...

come to me again.

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

When I look back,

there's no one there.

There are only raindrops falling down in loneliness.

Hyung-woo!

Whatever, punk.

-Want to take a look? -Hey!

Come on!

Jung Jae-hoon, open the door! Are you okay?

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon, open the door!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Jung Jae-hoon, open the door!

Jae-hoon!

Jae-hoon!

Tae-uk, congratulations on retiring!

Tae-uk.

Thank you for everything you did.

Attention!

Salute!

Jeez, guys!

Do you want me to leave so soon?

I'm leaving work exactly at 6 p.m. today.

So if there's a case before that, get ready to go right away!

-Okay? -Yes, sir!

Blow!

Jeez!

Yes, Detective Cho Tae-uk speaking.

Somebody took Joo Kang-san's corpse yesterday night.

What did you say?

(3 years later)

Man-sik.

How have you been?

He's still the same.

We're older now.

We miss you, Man-sik.

Why didn't Jae-hoon come?

Did you ever see him come on time?

I'm sure he'll come.

I'm sure he'll come someday.

To be honest, Man-sik...

Jae-hoon...

The latecomer's here.

How have you been?

(Cheon Man-sik)

These three were talking bad about me, weren't they?

You should've come on time then, you punk!

How have you been?

Are you feeling okay?

I'm fine, of course.

Half of the blood in my body is his.

So of course, I'm fine.

You better pay back my blood.

I'm dizzy.

Jeez!

When I think about that day!

You two said you're both Type O!

I can't believe you two are Type AB!

He's right! I can't believe you two lied about your blood types of all things!

I can see Jung Jae-hoon doing that. But I can't believe you lied too!

We thought you two were both Type O!

Did I ever say I'm Type O blood?

I don't think I ever said I was Type O.

Wow, look at how shameless these two punks are!

Man-sik, did you hear them?

Hey, don't ask Man-sik. He's Type AB too.

Man-sik is Type AB too?

You punk! Did you lie to me?

Hey, come out! Come out!

Come out and tell me! Did you lie to me?

Man-sik, come out and explain.

You told me that Jae-hoon is Rh- and Type C!

I asked a nurse and she said that blood type doesn't exist!

He's a ridiculous punk!

Come out!

Hey!

Hey, let me look at you.

You punk!

Goong-chul!

Let's do rock, paper, scissor. Loser will buy us a meal!

-Really? -Come on!

Come on! Let's do this!

Rock, paper, scissors

Damn it! Let's do this.

Rock, paper, scissors!

We will have to continue living

with another heavy burden buried deep within our hearts.

Even if we made the wrong choice,

we have an obligation to protect what's precious to us.

That's what men do.

That's the fate of males.

When we were in our 20s,

we were inexperienced but confident.

As men in our 40s,

we are confident but we're in a precarious position.

But we still need to move forward.

To protect what's precious to us again.
