Hi, Kitty.

Huh?

Where are you going, Kitty?

[Episode 11]

I think Yoon Bok is taking too long.

Yoon Bok! Yoon Bok!

Soo Jin!

Soo Jin!

Soo Jin!

What time is it right now, Uncle?

Why?

Do you have somewhere to be?

We were supposed to go take a boat at 11:30.

Oh, really?

Looks like you guys were planning to go abroad, or something.

We... probably won't be able to go, right?

Yeah.

And where are we going, Uncle?

Are we going to Mom?

Where...

did you get this?

It's mine.

You probably didn't have anything like this with you when you ran away.

Did you steal it?

Grandma gave it to me.

"Grandma"?

My mom's mom.

So...

Yoon Bok's mom's mom gave it to me.

You're talking about that old woman, aren't you?

The actress, Cha Young Shin.

That's right.

Why did she give you something so expensive?

Tell me the truth.

Because this is a very valuable, lucky necklace.

Grandma's mom gave it to her.

But to Grandma, the most important person to her is Yoon Bok's mom

and I'm the most important person to Yoon Bok's mom.

You're saying that you're that important to her?

Even though you're not even her real daughter?

Grandma didn't give birth to Mom, either...

but Mom is Grandma's real daughter.

Your real mom said she couldn't stand to raise you anymore

and put you outside in a garbage bag.

And yet, you're that important to those people?

Yes.

Ow.

Goodness, are you okay?

Yes.

Thank you, I'm okay.

- Let's report this accident first. - No!

I... already did.

To whom?

To whom did you report this accident?

Oh, um...

To my insurance company.

I'm sure that the people at the insurance company will take care of everything.

Hello?

Ja Young.

Who is this?

Honey?

Where are you, Honey?

What happened this time?

Just listen.

Ja Young.

Let's say that some kidnapper kidnapped Hye Na.

And they said that they'd kill Hye Na unless they were given money.

Then, how much money could you give them?

What are you saying?

I mean...

Is it a crime to be a mom?

Why should I have to pay anything? I wouldn't give them even a penny!

I followed Kang Soo Jin...

and took Hye Na from her while she was unaware.

- What? - But I think it'll be fun...

if I call Kang Soo Jin and her mom

and tell them to give me money.

And tell them that I'll kill the kid if they don't comply.

Um, wait.

Why did you go looking for Hye Na?

It's the police's job to find her.

The police have to catch that woman and put her ass in jail!

I don't want the police to find her.

Because you're scared that Hye Na will talk to them about us?

Hye Na knows a bit about me.

About the women I dated before dating you.

About those women's kids.

And the things that happened to those kids.

Stop it!

Stop talking about things like that! You're scaring me!

Listen, this is...

a completely safe kidnapping.

You're her mom, and those people are kidnappers, after all.

How could a mom kidnap her own child?

That just isn't legally possible.

Also, if, by any chance...

the police catch you, all you need to say is that you did as I told you to.

And that I threatened to kill the kid on the spot if you didn't comply.

Wait, but...

why would they give us money?

She's not even their biological daughter!

Those are just the kind of people they are.

They're the type to take a thrown-away kid into their own home

and raise the kid as if she's something precious.

Her biological mother said that she wouldn't give the kidnappers even a cent.

But those kidnappers...

well...

they'll give us money.

Because those people...

wouldn't be able to bear seeing Hye Na die.

Don't give them a long, drawn-out explanation

and just send them a photo.

Call them.

Tell them that if they don't send you 500 million won

by the time the bank opens tomorrow morning

your daughter will die while screaming Kang Soo Jin's name.

What if...

I say no?

You wouldn't say no.

I know you.

Let's take that money and take a plane going overseas tomorrow morning.

And let's never come back again.

If you really don't want to do this...

you can just live alone with Hye Na, like you did before.

Honey.

You're not going to abandon me, right?

I...

want you to be happy.

You said that you were happy when we went to the beach that time, right?

And that you wanted it to last forever.

If...

we can't get the money, what will you do with Hye Na?

What do you want me to do with her?

- Do you want her back-- - You know, Honey...

Hye Na is dead.

She can't ever come back home.

You take care of it for me, Honey.

And don't tell me the details.

I...

don't want to know.

Um, may I know where Doctor Jung Jin Hong is?

Over there.

Did you go to Cheongmyeong Station with Kang Soo Jin this morning?

Yes.

Why did you go there?

Ms. Cha Young Shin, who is Kang Soo Jin's mother, is my patient.

She called in the morning to say she wasn't feeling well

so I went to visit her at home.

She was in a state of shock because Yoon Bok had run away from home.

So I performed emergency first aid

and took Soo Jin, who was looking for her child, to the station.

And then what?

Oh.

It seemed to me that you two went somewhere together afterward.

I took them to my house to let them rest.

And after making sure those two had somewhere to stay, I left for work.

Um...

did you know that "Yoon Bok" is a child Kang Soo Jin kidnapped?

You knew that Ms. Kang Soo Jin had kidnapped a child, didn't you?

Doctors have a duty to maintain patient confidentiality.

The child has been put in danger.

You must tell the police.

Kang Soo Jin was a guardian

who worried for the child more than any other mother I've met.

Assisting a criminal

is a serious crime that can put you in prison.

Don't you want to keep being a doctor?

Are you okay with not being able to see patients anymore

because you helped a kidnapper?

Where is Kang Soo Jin?

[Mom]

I'll call you back, Mom.

I didn't ask her anything...

about where she was going or how she was planning to get there.

I was afraid this would happen

and Soo Jin would be put in danger because of me.

Search through all of the CCTV footage from the front of that doctor's house.

Yes, Sir.

But don't you think that Kang Soo Jin could actually be a decent person?

Seeing how everyone we've met is protecting her so much?

So what?

Pardon?

You.

Don't form any more of your own ideas regarding this incident.

You got that?

Hurry up and go!

I'm okay.

I'm really okay.

I'll come and get you right now.

Don't go anywhere. Stay right there.

It was that man.

The man who was living with Hye Na's mom.

I was scared of that man from the start.

That man, and the beast-like look in his eyes that told me...

that he devoured women and children.

That man followed you all the way there and took Yoon Bok away?

That's how predators operate.

They wait a very long time.

And because I was so nervous about that man

a senior of mine from work put a GPS meant for migratory birds on his truck.

It reports its location every four hours

so I can check it on an app.

I took a look at it not too long ago...

but it said that his truck's been at a parking lot for two days now.

If he was planning to watch Yoon Bok today and wait for his chance

then he wouldn't have used a car that Yoon Bok is familiar with.

Can you go to that parking lot for me please, Doctor?

That man could potentially go back there to pick up his car.

I'll get in a taxi right now and go after him.

What kind of car was it?

The make was "Hilton..."

and it was a white truck.

And...

Oh, yeah.

There's a sticker on the back that says "No baby in the car."

"No baby in the car"?

Here you go.

What are you looking at?

I want to speak to Cha Young Shin on the phone. Right now.

What on earth have you done?

You call yourself a human being?

Who knows?

I didn't know that I'd go to such lengths

before your daughter kidnapped my kid.

I can completely understand why my daughter did it now, you crazy woman!

You know...

I hit my kid a couple of times

because living life was hard, and I was short on cash.

But do you think that gives someone the right to kidnap my kid?

What kind of mother wouldn't go mad

if a woman she doesn't know kidnapped her kid?

What kind of mother says that she'd kill her own kid if she didn't get money?

So...

give me the money and take her back.

It's easy for rich people

to take other people's kids and raise them as their own, after all.

As if they're the kid's real mom, or something.

Oh yeah.

I think I know where your daughter learned

to snatch up other people's kids and raise them as her own.

That's exactly what you did, after all.

Even though...

I've never truly abandoned Hye Na.

I'm going to report you to the police immediately.

And when they catch you, I'll teach you a lesson!

It's fine for you to do that.

But...

what do you think will happen to Hye Na?

The police won't be able to do anything.

Because I don't know where he took Hye Na, either.

The moment the police come after us...

I'll send my Honey a warning.

And if I do that, Hye Na will die.

And if he can't reach me, Hye Na will die.

So, if you report this to the police...

that would be the same as you killing Hye Na.

If you treasure your money that much, then do that.

I'd totally understand.

And as for what ended up happening to Hye Na...

my Honey will probably take a photo and send it to you.

You damned animals!

Mom!

What's going on, Mom?

Mom!

Here they are.

Stop right here.

Zoom in for me.

I think I'm short 120 million won.

Can you send some of the company's money to my bank account?

I'll sell some of my shares and pay you right back.

You're really going to send those people 500 million won?

All because of some kid you don't even know?

It makes no sense.

The right thing to do is report this to the cops.

I mean, look at most kidnapping incidents.

There are so many instances in which

the kidnappers kill the kid anyway and run off with all the cash!

This is different from most kidnappings.

That woman has no idea where Yoon Bok is, at all.

It would be of no use to only capture that woman.

The child could be put in danger.

That's not something for you to be worried about, Mom.

The kid's mom is threatening her own kid's life

so why should you, a non-relative, have to send her money?

The police will take care of this!

How could I trust the police?

I can't do anything to put Yoon Bok in danger, even in the slightest.

You're ignoring those whose duty it is to protect the public

and cooperating with criminals right now.

I can't just sit here and watch you do this.

My husband is a prosecutor.

So I'll report this to the police!

Listen to me carefully, Yi Jin.

Yoon Bok isn't "some girl who isn't related to me at all."

If something bad happens to Yoon Bok...

Soo Jin's life will be completely ruined.

And if that happens, I won't be able to rest in peace even after I die.

I'll get Yoon Bok back and bring her back to Soo Jin, no matter what.

Everything else but that is meaningless.

Also, if you report this to the police

and save the 500 million won by doing so

the money won't go to you.

Because I'll take you off my family tree immediately.

09-ga-3109.

Name: Nam Hong Hee.

Address: Jongro-gu, Pyeongchang-dong, Pyeongchangmunhwa-ro.

38th street.

I'll go to the address

so you keep tracking where Nam Hong Hee's car went.

Yes, Sir.

Here it is!

I think it'd be best for us to park nearby and wait inside of the car.

Yes?

Soo Jin is with me right now.

[House of Love]

It's so cold today...

that nobody in their right mind would be outside.

Therefore, we...

can stay in this house quietly...

without being disturbed.

Uncle.

Are you... going to kill me?

What do you think?

I don't think that you'll kill me.

Why not?

Because...

because...

we played hide-and-seek together on nights that Mom came home late.

And sometimes, you'd even buy me kimbap to eat.

And, also...

I'm hungry, Uncle.

So if we...

don't give them 500 million won...

they say that they'll kill Yoon Bok?

That's what her mom said?

Yeah.

Listen to me carefully, Soo Jin.

I have the money all ready.

If we can guarantee Yoon Bok's safety, let's take the money and get her back.

My life won't fall apart just because I don't have that money.

Soo Jin?

Soo Jin.

Are you okay?

Answer me. Soo Jin!

Mom.

It might not be as simple as that.

Do you really think that getting the money is their true goal?

Hye Na's mother...

must have been so angry after losing her child.

And it must have been so painful for Yoon Bok to reject her own mother.

What if...

she just wants to get revenge on me?

What if she just wants to make me live through the same kind of pain?

The man living with Hye Na...

has killed children before.

Oh, what do we do?

I want to speak to Hye Na's mother myself.

I cannot allow that.

Soo Jin.

Even my hands were shaking after talking to that woman

because I felt so bad for Yoon Bok, and I was just so taken aback.

But you're her mother.

If you don't pull yourself together right this moment, it's all over.

I'll mediate this, so--

No, Mom.

I lost my mind the moment that Yoon Bok disappeared.

But after finding out where Yoon Bok is...

I think I've finally come to my senses.

500 million won... is a lot of money, right?

That kind of money could completely change someone's life.

They may just take the money and return Yoon Bok to us.

Also...

if they see just how miserable I am right now...

Hye Na's mother may be satisfied with just that.

At any rate, I want to see for myself.

I want to see if Yoon Bok is safe

and what I need to do to get her back safely.

I'll get it together and do my best, Mom.

Oh, my poor child.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Maybe you hit your head when you got into that car accident?

No.

You don't feel dizzy?

No.

It's not that.

I'm just so scared!

These things can happen sometimes.

There are some guardians who vomit when faced with immense stress.

Your body is trying to conserve energy by completely emptying itself.

What do I do?

I have to pull myself together right now, but...

There are instances in which parents who are scared

make for better guardians sometimes.

Everyone gets scared.

It's merely a matter of whether or not you can keep it from overwhelming you.

So, how do I keep it from overwhelming me, Doctor?

I think of fear as being similar to a disobedient child.

It's too busy crying, being stubborn, and throwing a fit

that it won't listen to what anyone has to say.

At times like that, one must approach it slowly

and show it that you are calm.

If you want to calm the child down, you must first be calm.

And then...

hug them.

Now, the child...

can hear my breathing.

Children who are terrified take quick, shallow breaths.

But now...

the child will listen to my breathing carefully...

and match the pace of their breathing to mine.

You know...

when moms give birth to and raise kids...

they contemplate whether they should live or die a couple of times.

That can be so painful for them

but they overcome moments such as that, again and again

and become true moms.

And, sometimes...

that process is truly breathtaking to watch.

Hye Na's mother.

This is Kang Soo Jin.

Oh.

Yoon Bok's mom?

How does it feel...

to be a mother who has lost her child?

It's quite difficult.

I...

felt as if I would die.

I thought that Hye Na had fallen into the cold ocean water and died.

I'm sorry.

You must have been so miserable.

Don't act like you understand.

It's insulting.

I think the person who is still having the hardest time among us...

is you, Hye Na's mom.

Shut your mouth.

What I want most of all right now...

is that you properly take the chance to start a new life for yourself...

and leave this place, while leaving Hye Na behind in your past life.

We will prepare the money.

And I...

also have dollars, which can be used immediately overseas.

10,000 dollars, which is the perfect amount to make a fresh start with.

I'll send that to you, too.

But...

in order for me to do that...

you must guarantee me that Hye Na will be perfectly safe.

I must be able to verify for myself

that Hye Na is safe now and will continue to be perfectly safe.

Are you scared that I'll do something to Hye Na after taking the money?

I want to speak to Hye Na.

You can't.

First of all, I can't even even call them.

My Honey took the SIM card out of his phone, you see.

I can only reach him through texting, via Wi-Fi.

I need to hear her voice.

We'll send you a voice file.

I must speak to Hye Na and she must respond.

And I must confirm for myself that Hye Na is safe.

And I want Hye Na to know that I am all right.

Then record a voice file and send it.

So if you ask Hye Na something we can record it and send the voice file to you.

Excuse me, sir.

Do you know where that barber shop moved to?

No, I don't.

Ask the moving company.

I see.

Thank you.

- Yeah? - Sir.

You know how that doctor got a call from his mother earlier?

So what?

I was searching for clues near the doctor's home

but the security guard told me that his mother passed away six years ago.

The doctor's mother passed away, and yet he spoke to her on the phone?

The caller ID said "Mom," and even had a heart emoji.

[Mom]

Hey.

Track the location of the phone that called the doctor as "Mom."

It's so...

quiet here.

My mom always said that she wanted it to be quiet.

I was...

kind of a rowdy kid.

Do you know why those kids died?

Won Hee and So Mi, I mean?

Won Hee was too noisy.

That's right.

That kid was just too noisy.

But...

I'm not noisy, at the very least.

Then...

why do you think So Mi died?

She was so, so quiet.

What do you think the reason was?

She had a tube...

dangling off her, like this.

So she couldn't talk.

That kid...

was disgusting...

and smelly, which is why she died.

It was so much work to make her clean

that it took all the strength I had to give her a bath.

But...

I tend to be on the cleaner side.

Am I wrong?

Do you know what you and those kids have in common?

You are all children whose mothers don't love you.

That's what you guys are.

Then, why did Jjing die?

She was so quiet and clean.

She was the gentlest little hamster in the world.

And I...

loved Jjing so much.

Because I wanted to make you cry.

I...

just love watching moms cry after they've lost their kids.

So much that my heart...

feels this shooting pain.

Uncle.

Don't kill me.

I'll be really quiet.

And I'll wash myself to be really clean.

I can even cut my own fingernails.

Are you scared that I'll make your mom cry?

[Voice recording file]

There was once...

a baby rabbit that wanted to run away.

"Mom."

"I'm going to run away."

That is what the baby rabbit said to the mommy rabbit.

"If you run away..."

"I will come after you."

"Because you are my adorable child."

"If you come after me, Mom, I will go to the riverside and become a fish."

"And I'll swim away."

"If you go to the riverside and become a fish..."

"I will become a fisherman."

"And then, I'll catch you."

"If you become a fisherman, Mom..."

"I will go to a mountain that is much higher than where you are."

"And I will become a rock."

"If you go to a mountain"

"that is much higher than where I am, and become a rock..."

"I will become a hiker."

"Then, I will crawl up to where you are."

"If you become a hiker and find me, Mom..."

"I..."

"will become a 'who bird' and fly far, far away."

She just said "who bird," right?

"I..."

"will become a 'who bird' and fly far, far away."

Instead of saying "I will become a bird..."

she said, "I'll become a 'who bird.'"

There's no way that she'd get this wrong.

She recites it multiple times per day, without getting a single word wrong.

"If you become a tree, Mom..."

"I will become a small child..."

"and run home."

If you become a small child and run home...

"I will become a mother..."

"I will become a mother..."

- "And, with arms wide open..." - "And, with arms wide open..."

I will...

- "I will hold you tight." - "I will hold you tight."

No.

You can't become a mom.

The best thing that a bad child

can do for her mother is to die.

Because if she doesn't

then the mom will die.

He's crazy.

Because if she doesn't...

then the mom will die.

It's a "who bird."

This is what Yoon Bok was trying to tell me.

The House of Love!

This man went to the House of Love a couple of days ago!

That's the orphanage where I grew up.

The "who bird" cries in the hills around it at night.

When I went there not too long ago with Yoon Bok, I told her about the who birds.

That is a "who bird."

A "who bird"?

Every winter, they call through the mountains at night

saying, "who, who."

So the kids who came here were scared because of it, at first.

But they're still around.

This is what Yoon Bok was trying to tell me.

That this is where she is!

[Police]

We're still trying to track down Nam Hong Hee's car via CCTV footage.

And I think it'll be difficult to track down the doctor's and his mom's phones.

I kept pressuring them

but they told me that it doesn't work as well nowadays.

Also...

Yes, Chief?

The suspect's younger sister, Kang Yi Jin, has made a report.

Apparently, they are being blackmailed by Kim Hye Na's mom.

Kim Hye Na's mom's boyfriend took Kim Hye Na away

and said he'd kill the kid if they didn't give him money.

She's threatening the kidnapper that she'll kill her own kid

if she doesn't get money?

Yeah.

I can't tell who's the mom and who's the kidnapper.

Anyway, according to what the little sister said

Kim Hye Na's mom doesn't know where her boyfriend is, either.

So she said that you'll have to be quite careful.

Do you know who that boyfriend is?

Yes.

His name is Lee Seol Ak.

He has physical assault charges on his record from a dozen years ago.

Geez. At any rate, come back and we can talk further here.

Yes, Sir.

Uncle.

I want to go to the bathroom.

You can't do it, even if you'd die?

Do you know why you're still alive right now?

It's because you never cried.

Interestingly enough, you didn't cry.

Except on that one day

when I crushed Jjing to death.

And I told you that day...

that you'd die if a tear fell from your eye.

You were supposed to die that night...

if only that woman hadn't found you in the garbage bag.

The rules are still the same.

You cry, you die.

If a tear falls from your eyes...

you'll die.

If you think it'll be dangerous, we need to report this to the police.

Those people are trained in handling these matters.

I am a very, very cautious person.

If I feel like you or Yoon Bok will be harmed in the slightest

I'll call the police.

There was no quiver in Yoon Bok's voice.

It seemed that Yoon Bok, who told me about the "who birds..."

believed that I would come for her.

Yoon Bok is a young child.

All young children believe that their mothers can protect them, no matter what.

I guess that mothers...

also kind of believe...

that they can protect their children, no matter what.

My mom...

will come this time, too.

To find me.

You're saying...

that your mom...

will come here for you?

Yes.

Sounds nice.

And what should I give to her...

when she comes?

Uncle.

Disgusting.

They've tracked the location of the doctor's and his mother's phones.

They're on Gyeongchoon Highway, and they're together.

Are we... going there?

Check on their location every 10 minutes.

I'm going to go around them.

That doctor and his deceased mother aren't going to Chuncheon

at this hour of night to eat chicken galbi, I'm sure.

Something is definitely up.

Uncle.

I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

I'm so scared.

All right.

Let's see what we have here.

[I hate you, Dad]

This is a place where moms abandon their kids.

I've lived at a place like this before too, which is how I know.

All kids wait for their moms...

but not a single one of their moms comes back for them.

Did your mom...

abandon you at a place like this, too, Uncle?

My mom?

My mom...

was such a great mom.

She was clean.

And quiet.

And smelled nice.

What about Seol Ak?

What are you going to do about Seol Ak?

Is divorce such a simple matter for you?

Are you kidding me right now?

Stop saying ridiculous things

and let's talk in person.

We should meet, at the very least, if you want a divorce!

Where are you going, Mom?

I'll be right back. Turn the TV on and go to bed.

What if you don't?

What if you don't come back, Mom?

Seol Ak.

We have to bring Daddy back.

We can't live without him.

And if that happens...

Mommy will die.

So you have to help me. Okay, Seol Ak?

Are you crying?

You're not, right?

Don't go...

and leave me behind.

I felt really uneasy...

when I was waiting for my mom.

And wondered what kind of mom would come home this time.

Because, you see, my mom was actually two different people.

A good mom...

and a bad mom.

I hate this so much.

Ugh, I hate this so much!

I hate this so much! So, so much!

Get up!

- Get over here. - Mom!

- Get over here! - Mom!

Get up!

I'm sorry, Mom.

Don't cry.

Why are you crying?

You have no right to be crying right now!

Seol Ak.

Shall you and I...

die together today?

No.

I told you that this is so hard for me that I feel like I'll die.

And yet, you want to live on by yourself?

Can you live alone, without me?

Huh?

Can you?

Answer me. I said, answer me!

And the next morning...

I felt that Good Mom would definitely be there, but...

Mom?

Mom?

Don't cry.

Why are you crying?

You have no right to be crying right now.

And after that, I never cried again.

I really can't stand it when I see crying kids.

Uncle.

I know what you were thinking back then.

"It would've been better if I'd died."

"If I had..."

"my mom wouldn't have died."

Because I thought the same thing, too.

When my mom took too many pills and didn't get up...

I would think that...

my mom wouldn't have died if I weren't around.

"I wish..."

"that I could disappear."

I told you not to cry, didn't I?

I told you not to cry.

Uncle.

You're the one who's crying.

[Call Me Mother]

Subtitles by DramaFever

I can see your mom.

Did she say that she wanted to die because of you?

Did she try to strangle you?

My mom died because of me.

What happened to my Soo Jin?

I reported it to the cops.

Is anyone in there?

- You go inside. - I'm sorry, Ja Young.

What's going on, Honey?

If you say anything else, you'll die first.

There must be another way. Think about it carefully.

I'm going to end it all here.

Nobody will be able to leave this place alive today.

That's why I came here.

Because I am fully aware of what becoming a child's mother entails.
