[Episode 5]

Are you asleep, Mom?

I'm not asleep.

But I don't want to move.

I feel the same way.

It'll probably be cold outside.

Right?

It's warm here.

Right?

Yeah.

You know that story of the boy and girl

who were wandering around in a forest

and discovered a house made of snacks?

This reminds me of that.

You mean Hansel and Gretel?

You know how I almost screamed

when they found that house
made of snacks?

Because I was so happy?

Are you saying that
we're like Hansel and Gretel?

We had the book with that
story in it, at school

but the page where they found
the house made of snacks

was all worn out, since it was
the most frequently read.

Do you know what happens after that?

They almost die.

Because that house
belongs to a witch.

Really?

I didn't get to that part yet.

It's a house that a witch made
out of snacks

so that she could lure
young children in.

Oh no.

But they don't die.

The kids kill the witch,
and run away.

What about the house?

Do they eat it all?

Are you hungry?

Yes.

We have to get you
something to eat.

You need to eat so that
you can take your medicine.

This footage is from
December 16th at 10:45 p.m.

on the second floor
of Baek Island Mart.

What, you can't see it again?

We zoomed in as much as possible so you
could see her eyes, nose, and mouth.

On that day...

I was a bit annoyed even before
I'd gone to the supermarket.

I hurried out since I thought
that it'd be closing soon.

But Hye Na said that
she wanted to go to the bathroom

as soon as we got in the car.

I barely managed to check out
at the supermarket, and was leaving

but she said she wanted
to use the bathroom again

as soon as the elevator came!

So you hit her with the cart?

It looks a lot worse in the footage.

She only got a few scrapes
and bruises, is all!

On December 12th, you pushed your child
in front of your home, didn't you?

This day was probably the day...

that Hye Na asked me to
buy a new cage for Jjing.

My hands were shaking because I was
worried about my credit card bill

at the end of the month.

But she kept complaining about how
the door of Jjing's cage opened

and said, "What if Jjing runs away?"

Um, if you have some time
by any chance, ma'am...

take care of these for me.

I have to hurry and go to a
funeral by tomorrow morning.

They can't get cold.

And be sure to give them
fresh water in the morning.

Sure.

This is rice, and some side dishes.

And if you open up
the cabinet under the sink

you'll find pots and a rice cooker.

I'm busy, so I'll get going.
Get some rest.

Um, thank you for the food!

I...

hit Hye Na a lot.

I hit her with my hands...

and with whatever else
I could get my hands on.

But Seol Ak never did that.

He protected Hye Na...

and protected me.

There was nobody who had
done that for me before.

The only one who had
done that for me was Seol Ak.

Hello, sir.

That'll be 1,400 won.

Meet me "there" after work.

Have a pleasant day.

Is it okay for you to be drinking coffee?

Seeing your face is making
me a bit nervous, Honey.

So I have to drink coffee
to calm my nerves.

I...

want to get married.

That person doesn't
know about anything.

About Won Hee, I mean.

I really want this to work out for me.

If you're going to get married...

you must have saved up some money.

How much do you need?

You tell me.

Is three million won enough?

It's because I have
to spend a lot...

on the dress and other things.

- Five million?
- Hey.

You're getting married...

and yet, I can't do
anything for you.

But what I can do is take that
money and go away forever.

Also, let me borrow your car.

If I just lend you five million
and my car...

will things really be
over for good between us?

No.

You have to...

guess the correct
answer to this question

for this to all be over.

Why did Won Hee die?

Your son, Won Hee.

Why did he die?

Won Hee...

was playing on the balcony...

while I went out to work...

and climbed up on top of
the clay fermentation jars...

and fell.

That's what you may
be telling others...

but you have to state
the real reason to me.

That it was because
you wanted Won Hee to disappear.

That's not true.

- You did it!
- Because I knew how you felt.

If you still had Won Hee

do you think you'd be
able to get married?

You know?

That was because
you wanted Won Hee to disappear.

That's not true.

You did it!

Because I knew how you felt.

You got back early.

Yes.

Are you considering...

putting your rooftop room up for rent?

Yes.

May we stay there
for just one month?

Yes, you can.

How much should I give you for rent?

The rent for the barber shop
is 1.5 million won per month.

So I'll need at least 200,000 won
from you per month.

That's way too cheap.

You don't have to stay here
if you don't want to.

If I accept a lot of rent from you,
I'll have to do everything you ask.

I don't like having to worry
about things like that.

Here you are.

Hello.

Is the guest staying at Suite 816 here?

Just a moment.

She checked out.

Oh... really?

You're the first person who's
accompanying me as a guardian.

I've never taken someone
to the doctor's office with me before.

Why not?

Mr. Jae Beom, Yi Jin, and everyone
else are so good to you, though.

I've lived like a queen all these years.

I've never lost my dignity
as an actress before.

I know.

You're amazing.

Do you know what my secret to that is?

It's because I'm always
putting on an act.

The role I've been assigned
is that of a queen.

An ice queen.

So I never let myself
reveal my true emotions.

And whenever I ask a favor of someone,
I do it in a demanding way.

And no matter how nice
people are to me

I act as if it's only natural
that they treat me that way.

And if someone
wrongs me in any way

I pay them back tenfold or more,
without remorse.

I've never cried in front of others

without a camera there
to shoot me, either.

Except for one person.

I've only ever cried in front of you.

My husband ran off last year
with some younger woman.

And left me with
nothing but debt.

I know that there are many women

who overcome that and live on
with a strong will, but...

I wasn't one of them.

I was so miserable that I could die,
and I caused a drunk driving accident.

So all the projects that
I had lined up were canceled.

I was considering
just dying, and then...

my agency insisted that
I needed to clean up my image.

So I went to the orphanage, planning
to volunteer there for just one week.

You know that I truly had
a fabulous time there, right?

It was all thanks to you.

And so, I thought...

that I would have nothing to fear
if I had a child like you.

I guess I'm just that kind of person.

I'm too scared to live by myself.

If you really hate this so much

just think of me as the CEO
of your entertainment company.

I'll do my very best

and make sure you're well-fed,
well-dressed, and well-educated.

And I'll be on your side,
no matter what.

I'll take you to your hospital
appointments from now on...

until I leave Korea.

Thanks.

Also, let's take this opportunity
to revise our contract.

I'll be the CEO of your
entertainment company

and you'll be one of my talents.

As for the terms of the contract

we promise to respect one another

and let each other live freely.

If we do that, we may be able
to grow closer together.

Okay, fine!

But you know,
I think you've changed a bit.

When I first put you
in the backseat of my car

and felt as if I'd become
a mother for the first time...

it feels kind of like back then.

Really?

I want to be a barber
when I grow up, too.

Why?

The barber scissors are so pretty.

And they make
such a pleasant sound.

And you look so cool
when you're working.

And the men are powerless
against you, too!

Yoon Bok.

There's no need for you
to become a barber later on.

Why not?

Because you can become one now.

Every barber starts

with sweeping up
the hair on the floor.

And the most important thing is that
you wash other people's hair well.

Doesn't it seem like
there's too much lather in my hair?

Ow!

Ow, that hurts.

Oh?

It's okay, it's okay!

This is the scan that we took last week.

You can see how the
tumor has spread, right?

Don't scare the poor girl.
She may cry.

All doctors talk like this.

And there are some who
even tell you not to get treatment

saying that the people who will die
will die while suffering

and those who will get better
will get better.

And there are tons of different
treatment options nowadays, too.

So, which treatment methods
have you tried so far?

Well...

I bought a pair of sneakers.

And a pair of pants
that match them.

And an overcoat that matches those.

And I don't pick up phone calls
from people I don't like.

And I eat whatever I want,
whenever I want.

So, have you decided to
have chemotherapy?

For now, yeah.

What... made you change your mind?

I'm not scared of dying.

Because I can just do it in my
own style, like everything else I do.

I don't think you'd understand,
Doctor, since you're a man.

But the thing about
being a mother is that...

Being a mother means that

you can't leave behind your children
to just go and die.

I have three children, Doctor.

Two of them grew up in a normal
environment, and are adults.

But she's the only one
among my kids

who stopped growing up
when she was eight

and is the same as she was then.

In my heart, I mean.

Get some rest, Ma'am.

Mom.

You can stop acting now.

Even queens are allowed
to be themselves, a little.

And when it gets too much
for them, they're allowed to retire.

And if you're in pain,
complain about it a bit.

If it weren't for you...

I'd rip all of this off
and leave this place.

I'm good at handling emotional pain.

But I'm really bad with physical pain.

But you know, Mom...

you're not exactly great at dealing
with emotional pain, either.

Yeah.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

[Samhwa Barber Shop]

[I'll be right back. If you need me,
please call 010-822-7329]

What are their names?

I named them so long ago, but it's been
so long since I've called them by name.

So I've forgotten their names.

Do these birds know that
they belong to you

even if you don't call them
by their names?

Every time my mom calls my name

I think to myself that
I'm my mom's child.

Really?

Yoon Bok.

That's quite a lovely name.

I know, right?

But, is it okay if I feed them?

I like to feed animals.

I'll entrust the bird-feeding task
to you from now on, then, Yoon Bok.

All right!

What is there in Iceland?

Birds, the ocean, and the sky.

Tons of academic papers
that need to be written.

And...

I have a secret that only I know about.

A man?

Ugh, how boring.

Can't you leave later
if it's not about having a man?

I might die soon, after all.

I'll come back.

I'll be back in six months,
at the very latest.

Or in three months.

Hah.

I have to stay alive
for six whole months, then.

Please.

Doctor Jung?

She's right next to me.

Want me to put her on the line?

Why did you call me if you weren't
going to ask me to put her on the line?

I'm in so much pain right now
because of the chemo.

Doctor Jung--

What a strange fellow.

What about this one?

That's the key for that safe over there.

What about this one?

That's the key for the bird cage.

I'll need to hold on to this one.

Since I'm the one who feeds them.

Sure.

What about this one?

That one is...

I'm not sure about that one.

Let's stop this now.

It'll be bad if
I lose any of these. Okay?

[Safe]

On December 16th,
at Baek Island Mart, did you push a cart

at Kim Hye Na,
your own daughter?

Yes.

Are you at all related to the
disappearance of Kim Hye Na?

No.

Did you kill Kim Hye Na?

No.

Is Lee Seol Ak, the man you live with,
related to Kim Hye Na's disappearance?

No.

Has Lee Seol Ak, the man you live with

ever abused Kim Hye Na?

No.

Honey.

Mister.

Can you hurry and get me the
passport I asked you about earlier?

I'm actually supposed to
meet up with them today.

- What?
- That's not true.

- Hey, watch it!
- Pardon me.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Hello! I'm Park Jae Beom,
the person who contacted you earlier.

Oh, I see.

I've heard a lot about you.

I see.

- What's this?
- Well, this is...

I heard that you liked the
30-year-old ones, so I...

Thanks.

But I like single malts more.

What brings you here?

[Samhwa Barber Shop]

I'm sorry for being back so late.

I came straight here.

Yoon Bok didn't cough much today.

She had a good appetite
and played a lot.

She got washed up,
and she's sleeping now.

Thank you.

Thanks to you, I was able to
take my mother to the hospital.

You shouldn't take young children
to hospitals, after all.

Yes. Yoon Bok isn't
completely healthy right now, so--

You shouldn't take healthy children
to hospitals, either.

If you have to go there,
just leave her here and go.

All right.

I'm quite thankful, but...

I don't think that's fair to you.

Then...

do you want to pay me?

You can pay me money
to look after your child.

Shall I do that, then?

I feed her lunch and dinner
and do everything else, too, so...

I'll need at least 5,000 won from you.

Then, I'll give you 5,000 per hour.

Yoon Bok's mother.

Yoon Bok feeds herself
with her own hands

and she can take care
of herself just fine

so how could I accept that

when it's not even that
hard to look after her?

It'll be 5,000 won per day.

Also, I'm looking after
your child because I like her.

If anything, she's doing me a favor
by keeping this old crone company.

I'm so used to eating alone every day.

But now, I hear a cute voice
talking to me as I eat.

And that gives me
more of an appetite.

But still, that's not
nearly enough money.

Is your mother severely ill?

Yes.

She has cancer.

Goodness.

I saw her on a TV show
not too long ago, though.

You... know my mother?

Everyone in this neighborhood knows her.

And I've been living here
for 27 years now.

Um...

I've been meaning to
ask you this, but...

but, 20 years ago,
back when I was a high schooler...

when there was a car accident
right in front of this store...

[Kang Soo Jin]

wasn't the person who treated
my injury at the scene

and called an ambulance for me...

you, Ma'am?

No.

My mother visited you,
saying that she'd like to repay you.

But she said that you insisted
that you weren't the one.

I don't remember that.

I'll need to get some sleep now.

You should go upstairs and
get some rest too, Yoon Bok's mom.

Mom.

You were waiting for me, weren't you?

What's the matter, Yoon Bok?

I came home too late, didn't I?

Did you wait for me
for a long time?

It's because...

I'm so happy.

We don't have to go anywhere...

and we don't have to run.

Because we can just be here...

like this.

We'll...

become even happier, day by day.

Later on, it'll feel natural to be happy.

Later on, you won't even remember...

your old name or your old life.

And when I tell you later on that
you cried because you were so happy

you'll laugh, thinking
that it was ridiculous.

Hey, Yoon Bok.

I think you were right.

The barber shop lady...

seems to be quite a kind person.

We're so lucky...

that we're able to live here.

[Kang Yi Jin]

[Will]

If you have any questions,
the attorney here will take care of them.

I don't like this.

Why are you making these sorts of
preparations, as if you'll be dying?

Shouldn't you be focusing on
your chemo treatment right now?

Yes.

My body may be healthy, but I
periodically work on my own will as well.

It's a completely
normal thing to do.

My real estate will be distributed
equally after being appraised.

As for my shares and gold,
they are to be sold at market price

and the profits are to be
distributed equally.

I'm so, so sorry.

But I have to go now.

I'm fine with anything, Mom.
If you leave me things, I'll be thankful.

But if you don't, that's fine, too.

I'll do exactly as
you all decide today.

That's... okay with you, right?

Of course.

Hurry and go, then.

I'll see you this weekend,
Yi Jin and Soo Jin!

I'm going to give
this house to Yi Jin.

But, Yi Jin.

You can't sell this house until I die.

Why not, Mom?

There needs to be a place
for our family to get together.

It costs so much to
maintain this huge house!

And I might need cash
in a hurry later on!

In exchange...

the furniture in this house, as well
as the decorations and my clothes

will all be yours.

Including your shoes, bags,
and jewelry, too?

Yeah.

Well, I'm the only one
who has your shoe size.

I'm sorry...

but I'd like to give up my right
to inherit anything.

I'm sorry, Soo Jin.

But I won't be leaving you anything.

I was thinking for quite a long time

after the two of us spoke.

I wanted to let you be
as free as possible

so I rewrote my will.

I won't give you
anything at all.

You won't be held down by me anymore.

And you have no obligations
toward me anymore, either.

So go and fly free,
to wherever you wish.

Thank you so much. Really.

But here, it says...

You'll see when you
read it until the end.

Those things aren't
being passed down to you

but to your future children,
Ms. Soo Jin.

I don't want my children to
inherit anything, either.

Just as you are my daughter, yet
I can't force you to do as I wish

I don't think you'll be able to force
your child to do as you wish, either.

I've made it so your child can decide
for themselves when they are of age.

Because there is a possibility
that you may never have a child

your share of the inheritance will be
used to establish a charitable foundation

starting from five years
after Ms. Cha's death.

Ms. Cha has said that she
would like for that foundation

to assist single mothers
and their children.

And she was considering making Ms. Yi Jin
the chairwoman of the foundation.

Yi Jin is most suitable
for running an organization

and she likes children, too.

Do you think I'll be
good at doing that?

I've always wanted to
try doing something like that.

Big Sis.

How old are you turning
this year, again?

38...

Oh, you're definitely still
young enough to have a child!

You need to know the dangers
associated with doing this, okay?

I have no idea why you need this,
or what you'll be using it for.

I don't want to know, either.

I'm only worried
about one thing, which is

what will happen to Madam if you
take that and try to leave the country

and get caught at immigrations.

Let's not get into you, okay?
This is your choice, after all.

However, it's different
when it comes to Madam.

She hasn't had any scandals
for the past 30 years

and I worked so hard to make sure that
her name was never on any online posts

so that she could focus on
just acting.

So do you think I'd allow her
name to be on the 9 o' clock news

when I've worked so hard
for all these years?

That's why I'm entrusting this to you.

That's why, yesterday...

I met with the biggest name
in the business.

Hey.

You know that the NIS is
the first to know about

celebrities' personal lives, right?

How is it that Mister and Soo Jin
have so much to discuss?

Well, if he gets started on how long
he had to search for Soo Jin

it's impossible to stop him.

Hey, you should smile too, all right?

Yi Jin is staring at us
from over there.

At any rate, I had to go through
three people and drink with six

in order to be able to meet that man.

What kind of person is he?

The less you know, the better.

Curiosity killed the cat.

He said it'll take two weeks.

That's too long.

They'll be sending us the invoice soon

so have the money ready, okay?

All right.

That's the spot we talk in when
we're discussing secret matters.

That's where Big Sis yelled at me after
she caught me smoking in middle school.

Oh, and when I found out
that I was pregnant with twins

that's where I cried in Hyun Jin's arms

and debated whether I should
get married or get an abortion.

Let's split up here.

Is it true that you're missing a finger?

Huh?

I heard that you lost it
while you were in prison.

Want to take a look?

Have you heard other rumors
about me, too?

That you killed someone.

Doesn't that scare you?

I feel like those are all lies.

You're a nice person, after all.

And my mom said that
you seem like a nice person, too.

My mom is a scientist,
so she knows everything.

All right.

Yoon Bok.

I've gotten really old now...

so can't you call me "Grandma"?

Grandma?

Can I call you "Granny Finger"?

Sure.

Mom.

Can't you stay home from work today?

What are you all going to eat
if I don't work?

I won't eat anything today, then.

You can...

order some chicken and
eat it with Uncle later.

Why not?

Chicken is your favorite food, though.

I'm scared of Uncle.

Why would you be scared?

He lived with us when
you were younger, after all.

So Mi...

Because of Uncle, So Mi...

Shut it.

So Mi died while I was bathing her.

And she was always really sickly, anyway.

That's not true.

Uncle told So Mi that
they should take a bath together.

So Mi was always really sickly

so she had tubes attached to her shoulder
and arms, and other spots like that.

But Uncle took all of those off her, and
took her to the bathroom to bathe her.

And not too long after,
Uncle called you

so you ran back here, crying.

- And an ambulance came--
- Hey.

Stop making things up.

How could you remember that
when you were only five years old?

If you have to go,
take Byung Gook with you.

What if Uncle tries to
bathe Byung Gook, too?

Why do you want to go to a concert
when you're not even feeling well?

It's because I'm sick
that I'm going to a concert.

When people are truly ill,
music cannot make them feel anything.

The Vivaldi piece that brought
one to tears 20 years ago

sounds like nothing more
than mere noise.

Do you have any idea
what it feels like to live like that?

The desperation of a cancer patient

who doesn't have many days left
to listen to music...

Do you understand
what that feels like?

Oh!

There he is.

Oh.

Oh, I'm so scatterbrained!

I had a fitting today,
but I completely forgot about it!

Also, here, Soo Jin.

See the concert with Doctor Jung.

Oh yeah, did I tell you?
Doctor Jung is an excellent violinist.

Does she have to shoot some
extra scenes again today?

No.

It's a fitting.

The TV show is over now, so she can't
use the "extra scene" excuse.

Oh.

How is Yoon Bok?

She's gotten a lot better.

Her fever has gone down
and she coughs a lot less now.

She's running around now.

She's taking her medication, right?

She can't stop taking it
just because she's gotten better.

Yes, she's taking it.

Give me the tickets.

Go on now.

Madam Cha doesn't know
about Yoon Bok, right?

And I'm sure that had you on edge
while you were on your way here.

Because you want to
hurry back to Yoon Bok.

Please go. Yoon Bok will be waiting.

Thank you.

Also, I'd like to examine Yoon Bok.

Shall I visit you two
where you're staying?

That's... a bit...

Then, based on how Yoon Bok is doing...

there's a park around here, out front.

There's a cafe there.
Please meet me there.

I'll wait there, and I'll leave if it
seems like you won't be coming.

Take care.

[Samhwa Barber Shop]

[Special Documentary
Featuring Actress Cha Young Shin]

Based on what we've confirmed so far

two of the three times,
she was hit was by her mother.

And the reason for
the final injury is unknown.

Is that relevant to the
child's disappearance?

Well, I can't say for sure
that it is, but--

You won't be able to
make a case out of this.

You have no decisive evidence!

The defendant has confessed to it.

What is the most decisive piece
of evidence in a case like this?

It's the child! The child!

We need to get her corpse out of the sea
to figure out how much she was hurt.

Let her go!

And focus on finding the child first.

You got that?

What are you doing, Byung Gook?

What's this?

"The curved, sloping road."

"A large bag with wheels."

"When a balloon gets
bigger and bigger."

"A key and a lock."

"Cafe latte."

"When my eyes meet a cat's gaze."

"The path that leads
down to the ocean."

"The sound of Jjing
eating sunflower seeds."

"When my mom holds me tight."

"The sound of waves."

"Long Legs Kindergarten."

"Ongdalsaem Class."

"Lee Won Hee."

[Lee Won Hee from Long Legs
Kindergarten, Ongdalsaem Class]

Yoon Bok.
Kim Yoon Bok!

What is this?
Where did you get this?

That's...

Granny's.

It's Granny Finger's key.

"The first day that
Ms. Kang Soo Jin smiled."

Let's stop here for today, Student.

What?

Let's stop here for today.
Come back tomorrow.

What do you mean?
You only cut half of my hair.

I won't accept any money from you.

I'll cut the rest for you tomorrow.

How can I keep my hair
like this until tomorrow?

You have a younger sibling, right?

Bring them here, too.

I'll cut their hair for free, too.

Hurry and go.

Come back tomorrow.

Can you...

unlock this for me?

You promised me that you would.

That you'd come and unlock this for me.

Are you going to buy me a bike, Mom?

Let's buy the bike later.

I don't have enough money today, so...

[Bicycle Lock]

Shall we buy this instead?

You can lock your bike up with
this later, when you get a bike.

Yes!

You said...

that you'd buy me a bike later, right?

You...

remember...

the things that happened on that day?

No.

I don't remember.

I don't remember
anything that happened...

before that day.

The doctors told me that

it's a defense mechanism to
protect me from painful memories.

But every time I have flashbacks
like this, once in a while...

it frightens me.

I'm sorry.

I've lived my entire life
without thinking about...

my birth mother.

I've never waited for her...

and I've never once thought
that I wanted to meet her.

I've never once thought that
I wanted to show her

what kind of person I am
or how I ended up living my life.

Not even once. So, why?

Why did you open such
an out-of-place barber shop here?

All while being teased and called
a witch by the neighborhood kids?

It pisses me off!

Oh! Oh no!

Wake up, Yoon Bok. Let's go.

Where are we going, Mom?

We have to hurry
and get out of here.

Hurry up and pack your things.

Wait, Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok!

Can you give this to your mom?

Hurry and follow her.

[Shin Ja Young]

The investigation is over.

Hurry back, Honey.
Everything will be fine.

Where are we going?

Mom.

Why are you locking me up here?

I'm not a bike.

It's going to be a while
until I can come back.

But I can't have someone
take my Soo Jin away while I'm gone.

It'll be bad if you go somewhere
and I can't find you.

I'm not going to
go anywhere, though.

I won't go anywhere,
and wait right here!

I know.

Eat this while you wait for me, Soo Jin.

Are you going to be back by the time
I'm done eating this?

Yeah.

Eat it slowly.

I'll eat it super, super slowly.

You, the person who is my mother...

I wasted a tremendous amount of time...

so that I would
stop thinking of you...

and so that I wouldn't
wait for you anymore.

Let's go.

"Lee Won Hee from Ongdalsaem Class
at Long Legs Kindergarten."

"The first day that
Ms. Kang Soo Jin smiled."

Take a seat.

I'll take a look at that.

How did this happen?

I broke a cup.

You need stitches.

You do it for me, Doctor.

Can you...

let us sleep at your place tonight?

[Call Me Mother]

Why did you do it?

Did you hate me?

If you threw me away like that,
you should be living a nice life now.

Isn't that the least
you could do for me?

Find the child first,
no matter what.

Where are you, Hye Na?

Why did she go to Iceland?

Please don't try to learn
any more about us.

Soo Jin has a child?

Is a dangerous person after you?

I want to go home, Mom.

Our house.

I will never see you again.

Not all moms can raise a child.
