- Did she sleep any?
- Yes, how about Dad?

He said to bring her home at all costs.

What?
Mom is as stubborn as a goat.

How?
By knocking her out?

You don't have a clue what it's about?

Nope. All she says is, "None of your business.
I'm getting divorced."

Yes!

Hyo-joo, I'll get it.
Let me.

Alright.

How's Mom?

She's up.

- I mean, how's she feeling?
- Calm. No different than usual.

- And Dad?
- He's up.

- How's he feeling?
- As usual.

How can he be the same as usual
after kicking Mom out in the night?

Let's keep it straight.
It was Mom who left.

For nothing?
It was different than kicking her out.

He says to bring her home at all costs.

Why should we have to do it?
Tell Dad to.

Of course, Dad has to.
We tried everything.

Hee-jae and I took turns going to Ulsan
and begging. Didn't work.

You've never done that.

I was abroad.

Hee-jae, when was the last time?
Over 10 years ago, I think.

More than 10.

Oh, it was 2 days after Mom's 60th birthday.
20 years ago!

A dormant volcano has exploded
after 20 years.

Hm... Serious business.

She's talking divorce.

She called out for a divorce
each time she went to Ulsan.

- Hee-jae, it'll at least be a month.
- Won't it be shorter this time?

She can't hold out,
inconveniencing your in-law.

Then, she might go to Sun-ho's in Ulsan.

Have you had coffee?

No, are you out of coffee?

Here's your coffee, Uncle Hee-jae.

Her only possible grounds for divorce
would be irreconcilable differences.

- She's stuck it out all these years.
- She wants out of boot camp is what it is.

- One of the uncles is getting divorced?
- What are you talking about?

- Irreconcilable differences.
- Grandmother and Grandfather are getting divorced.

What?

How can you not know
that things downstairs are a mess

I took my medicine and was knocked out.

But what?
They're getting divorced?

We'll deal with it.
You just keep your head on straight.

Did they have a big fight?
About what?

No one knows.

All we can assume is Grandfather
verbally abused her over nothing,

and the nagging made Grandmother flip.

Divorce over some nagging?

I can see plowing up the grass
over some nagging, but divorce...

Don't call it "nagging"
when they're your elders.

- Preaching.
- To us it's preaching, to Grandmother it's nagging.

If they wanted divorce, they should've
done it years ago. It'll be in the papers!

Ladies journals will come for interviews.

Kids, this concerns your elders.

Is it for real?

What do you mean, real?
She's just upset.

You keep upsetting me
and I'll divorce your dad too!

Mom, look into it.
She needs a sure cause to request a divorce.

Well, I'm curious.
What could be the reason for divorce at 80.

Stop messing around.

I can get a handsome incentive fee
if Grandmother's division of assets is a success.

I'd go after the money like a shark
if it were some other rich old lady.

Shush.

- Mom, what about Joon-ki?
- What about him?

I told you I don't like this cup.

What happened to the mug
with the handle and flowers by Mr. Cha?

Yes, Father.
The kids took them all upstairs.

I don't like this. It's slippery.

Mr. Cha's has a notch to place your thumb.
You'd never spill water with that.

- It's a piece of art.
- Yes.

- Go and bring the cups down.
- Yes.

They take them up and never bring them back.

- Did you spill your tea, Father?
- I wiped it up.

- I'll make you some more when the cup's here.
- No thanks.

- You're talking nonsense.
- Not me. It's Hee-myung's reasoning.

Nonsense.
Are you some mystery writer?

There's a lot of evidence.

What evidence?

What has an 80-year-old
got to pound the floor and wail about,

saying her husband made her life into a dirty rag?

It's true.

And Mom beat Dad.

What?

Life a dirty rag,
wailing on the floor, beat Dad.

Beaten Dad is crestfallen,
Mom claims for divorce.

What does this whole situation point to?
There's no other reason.

But, but that's...
Dad would never...

It's also why neither Mom or Dad
are saying a word about it.

Dad has committed an act
that completely goes against the principles

that he's been preaching all these years.
How could he admit to it then?

Mom is embarrassed over the complete
insult and despair cast on her life.

How could she open up and tell us,
"Your dad did this and that?"

Mom may seem quiet and compliant,
but she's as stubborn as a mule.

True. Mom is like that.

Mom surrendered to Dad
for the sake of household peace.

- Mom isn't a pushover.
- My words exactly.

When Mom gets mad, blue flames pop out of her eyes.

I talked back to her in high school, senior year,
and she nearly killed me.

- What was it about?
- Oh, nothing.

Right! You got caught with a Playboy magazine.

Hee-jae, the kids will hear you.
Jesus!

But how did Dad get caught?
Mom never leaves the house.

How did she find out?

I wonder with whom.
Hee-jae, do you agree with Hee-myung?

Well, it sounds plausible, but Dad?
I just can't believe it.

If she insists on getting divorced,
she'll probably end up having to file suit.

Dad would never say,
"Great! Let's do it."

She's already asked So-young to advocate her.

Huh?

Geez, what's all this?
Cheating and divorce?

But Hee-jae, what if Dad says,
"Okay, let's get divorced." What then?

- What?
- You never know.

He might be head over heels in love
with a woman 30 years younger.

Don't go overboard.
You always go too far.

I'm telling you, you never know.

So-young will have to advocate at court
if something like that ever happens.

Everyone in the family will have to submit
statements against Dad.

We'll have to make testimonies if necessary
and protect Mom as much as possible.

Hey, you think Dad is dotty?

How can you say something like that as a son?
You know how Dad has been his whole life.

A lot of old guys keep a clean slate their whole lives
and it all goes to the dumps for a young woman.

Well, let's learn the facts first.
Don't condemn Dad before we know the facts.

This isn't the answer, Hee-jae.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing for awhile.

Don't take it out of proportion.
That's always been your problem.

What can I do when it's in my nature?

Anyway, you guys at home do something about it.
I have to go to work.

Must you call us bums to our faces?

Go see Mom after you eat, okay?

- Aren't you going too, Hee-jae?
- Of course, I will.

Wouldn't it be better to send the women?

Should we?

Dad would never do something like that.

No way.
Anyway he's too cheap too.

Aren't you getting up?
Oh geez.

Why don't you hurry up and come out
if you're up. Mrs. Ahn has been up for ages.

What's the matter?

Mom, take a look at this.

What is it?

He said he went out with this "I like hiking" group
and had meetings all day yesterday.

This is yesterday's.

A big fat lie! Mom, this is a woman.
He's cheating.

What kind of gibberish are you talking about?

- Then what is this?
- Leave it to me.

Later, slowly.
Don't make a fuss while Mrs. Ahn is here.

Close in on him little by little
until there's no way out.

Be quiet and don't make any moves.

- I'm sure there's a reason.
- What reason?

Oh Mom, what are you doing?

Sleep, sleep. Sleep some more.
Get up later.

- Mom!
- Listen to me.

Count to 500, no 1,000.
1, 2, 3...

Baby!

Leave her be. She wants to get more sleep.
Out, out.

Alright. She went to bed after 2a.m. last night.
Let her sleep another couple of hours.

Hee-gyu, give it here.

I'll do it. I do everything except the vacuuming.
It's my job anyway.

It's okay.

Go in, Mrs. Ahn.
You're not a guest. You're with family.

Go on in.
Hurry.

Dad said to bring you home
at all costs.

Give it here.

Did Dad get himself a lady friend?

Hee-myung said that's what it must be

because what else is there?
Hee-myung said.

If your dad did something like that he'd be senile.

Yes, that's what I think.

But even if he's senile, it isn't out of the question
at his age yet.

Be honest.
You can be honest.

What do you mean, honest?
I said I don't want to talk. I can't talk about it.

Stop bothering me and get out.
I don't want to see you Ahns.

- Mom.
- Yikes, you startled me. Trying to kill me?

- What do I do? I can't hold it in.
- Hold it. Hold it.

I can't. How am I supposed to hold it in?

It's not the best idea to just make
the first blow at times like this.

- Intuition tells me it's nothing special.
- This is nothing special?

Someone like Hee-gyu can't cheat
unless he's thinking of putting you to your grave.

I'm practically in my grave already.

Don't talk about life and death so lightly.
I'm telling you, I'm right. It's nothing.

I'll take care of it and you just pretend you don't know.

- What?
- You stay out of it.

How can you tell me to stay out?

There's no doubt that he ate out and saw a movie
and I'm I supposed to turn a blind eye?

So what if it's true?

What if he has a girl on the side
and he's going over there all the time?

- He dies and I die.
- Then I die too?

- What in the world should I do then?
- We lure him in.

What's the use luring in that dirty bastard?

If your dog runs away, you search all over
calling for him, "Yeller, yeller!" and bring him home.

Is Hee-gyu a dog?

You bathe him well and keep a short leash on him.

How am I supposed to live with him?
It's so dirty!

Like I said, you bathe him.

Mom!

Hey, what are you up to?

Su-mi, Dad.

You still haven't found your senses.

Move over.

Get a grip on the situation.

Your most urgent task
is solving the issue between your grandparents.

Keep your lips zipped and don't even mention Su-mi.

Come home right after work and help Mom.

Don't be late. We all know what you're up to
if you are.

You have nothing to gain by getting
on the wrong side of your mom. Okay?

Yes, sir.

Try your best to obey your mother.
Act like you are, no, try. You have to try.

Why don't you answer?

Yes.

That's a fake answer.

Yes.

Your going off without having breakfast
will get on your Mother's nerves too.

Are you giving her the miso?

Your issue is on hold
until Grandmother comes home.

There's no peace in this family.

Uh-huh, I'm driving Joon-ki to the bus stop.
Yup.

He went out to drive Joon-ki
to the bus stop, Father. Go ahead and eat.

It feels strange without Grandmother.

Um, Grandfather.

Grandfather.

What?

Grandmother is serious about the divorce.

- Hey!
- She's done this several times.

She asked me to file suit.

So-young.

If she won't budge,

I have to stand by my client
and follow procedures.

What are you doing?

It's my duty to notify Grandfather
what Grandmother's intentions are.

Grandfather, you should make up soon.

Grandmother won't let it go so easy, I know.
She's threatened with divorce several times too.

Did she tell you about the suit too?

She wants me to claim division of assets.

What?

That's why I'm telling you, Grandfather.

If she doesn't bend till the end
and goes through with the divorce,

you should divorce by mutual agreement
instead of going to court.

A divorce suit is horrendous
for both plaintiff and defendant.

Hey you, are you opening your lawyer's office
and leading us into our divorce?

- Grandfather.
- And on your grandmother's side?

You'll have to get a lawyer too.

- Hey!
- So-young.

Alright then, you be my lawyer.
I'll pay you double your fees.

Drop Grandmother and work for me.

That's unethical, Grandfather.

Assets? What assets?
By what right?

That's not true, Father.

The court will acknowledge
Mother's contribution part.

- Right?
- Right. Practically half.

What do you mean half?
What kind of ruling is that?

Don't worry, Grandfather.
You'll probably only have to give about 30%.

What in the world could be so serious
to want a divorce at 80, Dad?

No kidding.
I'm not sure I'll even have the energy then.

I'm already wiped out.
I've given up and want to take it easy.

Give what up?

Nothing.

You think you're the only one who's given up?

Let's eat.

If I'm certain that this is not it,
then I'm splitting up without a second thought.

I think living with someone who isn't the one
is a waste of my life.

Hey, don't talk like that.

People who live together out of obligation
have their reasons.

I guess when women don't have the gall
they can't help it for the sake of their kids.

They're afraid of change and failure
and they're too timid to earn a living.

It'll probably be hard for a homemaker.

- Is that for me to hear?
- Oh, no. In general.

Housewives can walk out and work as maids
and make a living today.

If they really don't want to stand by.

Don't treat people who keep their families,
despite saying they hate it all the time, as imbeciles.

They don't want a divorced family for their kids.

They think, 'I'll take care of my husband.
He's balding. What glory do I want?'

You can't throw all that time together
down the drain. Do you think this is funny?

What are you getting worked up for?
She wasn't talking about you.

It felt like she wanted me to hear.

It's a futile inferiority complex.

What nonsense talk in the middle of a meal.

Mom, did you give up?

You don't look like that, Mom.
Seems to me, you like Father a lot.

Like him, my god.

It's true.

Have some dried yellowtail fish.
Mom, this is good too.

- Try some.
- Let me be.

How can you have an appetite?
Try some of this.

I love salted yellow croaker
when I've lost my appetite.

Don't mind me.
I'm eating all I need.

Frankly, you aren't eating much.

You have to have some energy to fight.
You have to eat to beat Dad, okay?

You're making me flustered. Shush and eat.

Yes.

Are you finished?
You hardly ate anything.

- Will you boil me some water?
- Why sure, Mrs. Ahn.

I'll do it. Let me, Mother.
Stay seated, Mom.

What's the matter, Hee-gyu?
Is there some water on the floor?

No, Mother. There's no water.

Good morning, Mother.

Morning, dear.

Why didn't you get more sleep, baby?

Uh-huh, good morning.
What's up?

Mom asked me to heat up some water.
It's boiling now.

Oh, is the soup not to your liking?

No, I'm eating.
Please don't worry about me.

- Want some rice?
- Later.

How about coffee?

Later for the coffee too.
I don't have an appetite right now.

Okay then.

You're only eating pickles.

I'll feel uneasy staying here
if you keep fussing over me.

Yes, alright. I understand.
Go ahead and eat, please.

How many members of your 'I love hiking'
group showed up yesterday?

Huh?

7, no 6. One didn't come.
Mr. Hwang from Jeil Construction didn't show, so 6.

- Really?
- Yes.

Where did you have lunch?
Did you order in or eat out?

We ordered black-bean noodles
and sweet-and-sour pork. Why?

How come your meeting lasted so long?

Oh, well...
We took breaks in between and chatted.

What was the meeting for?

Uh, some members had moral issues.
But why? What's nagging you, huh?

- Sae-rom.
- Honey.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I need a word with you, dear.

Go talk to her.

Come out this instant!

Oh, you immature girl, you.

What's the matter, Mrs. Shin?

- Well, I'm not sure.
- Oh, what is the meaning of this?

You're not by yourselves. I'm here, you know.

It seems Hee-gyu is seeing another woman.

What?

Talk.
Tell me who it is and how long it's been.

Oh, where is this coming from?
Did you dream I was seeing another girl?

Have you lost it? What, where are you getting this?
What did I do?

'I like hiking'?
What? Members with moral issues?

What girl did you have Japanese lunch
and see a movie with?

How did you know?

Did someone see me?
Someone call you?

Honey,
Sae-rom, baby.

Wait a minute.

Get a grip, honey.
Get a grip.

No, Mom.
No, it's not true. It isn't true.

Hee-jae, what do I do? What do I do?

What? Did you lose Mom?
Did Mom disappear?

That's not it, Hee-jae. It's me.
I'm in big trouble.

- Oh, what big trouble?
- I got caught.

- Caught about what?
- A woman.

No, not that kind of woman. Just a woman.

- You've been having an affair?
- No, I'm telling you, it isn't an affair.

Then, what is it?
You just said you got caught with a woman.

Yeah, what?

Oh, Hee-jae, Mom says she's going to pack up
and go to Ulsan.

She can't go there, right?

Of course not, kid!
Then things will get worse.

Where are you?

Yeah, run! Grab Mom quick.

- What is it?
- She says she's going to Ulsan. Get in quick.

Oh, Mom is causing so much trouble.

Mom is causing trouble?
And what about you in the middle of this mess?

Hee-jae, I'm not going in.
I won't be any help if I go in, so I'm not.

Hey, close the door!

Oh, Sae-rom. Hee-gyu says it's not what you think.
Don't get the wrong idea.

He says that's not it at all.

It's true.
He admitted it himself.

How will he turn the tables if he's admitted it?
That fool.

Don't be stubborn!

It's going to get freezing in the afternoon.

What do you mean you're getting on a bus
in this weather with your bundle?

We're extremely flummoxed and uncomfortable
with you staying here in the first place.

Just stay here for awhile.
It's your son's house, not someone else's.

How can you leave your son's house
and stay at your nephew's?

I feel bad for causing Mrs. Shin trouble.

Oh, no. You don't have to mind me.

If you're doing this because of me
then let me leave.

I can stay at a friend's house or something.

No, that's not what I mean.

Mom, of course Mrs. Shin will feel bad
if you do this, no?

I'd take you to Ulsan myself
if the weather were nice.

It's not bad to take off far away
and get some air when you're frustrated.

But in the middle of winter,
how will it make us feel with you there?

Take us into perspective, please?

Mom, don't do this.
We feel really bad.

I can't face Mrs. Shin if I just stay here.

Mrs. Ahn.

That crazy boy got caught
seeing another woman.

How can shamelessly I mooch off Mrs. Shin
and stay here?

He said it isn't true. I think there was
a misunderstanding. It's not true.

It's not my place to say, but we have sure proof.

He said he was out all day yesterday
because of a hiking club meeting.

This has yesterday's date.

Look.

Then, what can this mean?

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet.
It's my day off, so I'm taking it slow.

Here, make yourself some miso soup.
It'll taste good.

Sit down.
Let's talk.

What's the matter all of a sudden?

We agreed to get married.

I said I'd get married after 3 years,
but that wasn't your plan.

I told you to leave it to me, didn't I?

- Didn't I?
- You did.

- Then what?
- I've given it a lot of thought.

About what?

I went to your house and saw
how utterly immature you are.

I saw how much you've let your parents down.

That's because they never considered
something like this.

Your grandfather told me

that you do whatever it takes
to help out people in need.

I didn't know that you were trying to marry me
because you felt pity for me.

- That's not it.
- I thought it over and that's what it is.

- You want to marry me out of pity.
- That's not it, Su-mi.

You said having bubbling miso soup was your dream,
to marry you and you'd make it come true.

How is that out of pity?

That's just wanting to do
whatever your girlfriend dreams of.

I said store-bought miso didn't taste good
and you brought me homemade miso.

That's not because I pity you.
I wanted you to taste ours because it's good.

Anyway, you probably started taking care of me
because you felt sorry for me.

Now that I think of it

I told you a lot of things that would
make me look pitiful.

I don't usually go around telling people
about myself in case they look down on me.

I don't know why I told you.

If I had parents and siblings

and took on part-time jobs only during vacations,
You probably wouldn't be interested in me.

I thought you were cute from the beginning
because you were sunny and friendly.

You didn't sulk when I scolded or embarrassed you.

I wanted a little sister like you,
but I don't know when that feeling changed.

Anyhow, it bothered me
that you're such a lonely kid.

I'm an average person with nothing special,
but I'm fortunate.

I have a big family
and we all look after one another. It's nice.

So I wanted you to be a part of our family
and be loved. That's what I wanted.

I can see your sincerity.
Thank you, but...

Your family isn't a place I can be a part of.

Why not?

Your brother is a doctor, sister a judge.
I'm far below the line.

What kind of silly nonsense is that?
What does it matter?

I only graduated from high school.
You think they want a college graduate for me?

Anyhow, I'm really still a kid.
The adults will wonder what these kids are doing.

They might do so right this instant,
but you know how fast time flies?

A few years later, you won't be so young
and no one will consider you a kid.

Anyhow.
Let's call it quits.

Grandmother said not to eat more than
you can chew.

Don't look at a tree you can't climb.

You're the tree and you're too much
for me to chew.

Don't be childish. I'm no crown prince!

My grandfather was a poor guy
who sold soup.

But he married a rich man's daughter.
What does it matter?

Joon-ki, you don't love me, you feel sorry for me.

Are you me?
How do you know?

Your heart doesn't pound for me.
I don't feel a man when I'm with you.

That's all.

What are you doing?

Stay still.
I won't bite.

What are you doing?

Joon-ki, I'm underage.

Can you feel my heart?

How does it feel?

Alright.

I said, I got it.

- Make yourself some food.
- Let's do it 10 years from now.

What?

Let's make money selling fish at Sorae
and get married. Can you wait?

It's not a sure thing yet.

Hee-gyu said it's not anything like that,
so find out about it if that's not it.

He went all white and asked how I found out.

He didn't deny that it wasn't a woman.
Why would he lie if it weren't?

What's with you, Yoo-jung?

A credit card receipt with yesterday's date on it,
movie tickets. What more do you need?

He even acknowledged himself that it's a woman.

Why would he run if he isn't guilty?

Why would he make a beeline when someone fainted?

Oh, oh, you foolish girl!

I told you to hold your tongue
and you couldn't keep your mouth shut.

How could I?
How could I pretend when I was losing my mind?

I told you that you shouldn't make a hasty move.

- You've come, Yoo-jung.
- Oh, yes.

That's not how you handle a man, girl.

You have to get at him after you have proof
that will keep him in his place.

You make a hasty move and he'll hide his head
and his tail.

When you kill a chicken, you have to
twist off its head good before you boil it.

It'll fly off if it's just knocked unconscious.
You could lose a chicken for good.

Are we killing chickens here?

He's out there doing god knows what.

I guarantee he's out there at the shop pasting those
mouths shut and killing the evidence.

How could he do something like that?

No, Mom.
I can't believe it. I can't.

There must have been a reason.
That's not the reason. I'm certain.

Honestly, truthfully, can you vow
to the heavens

that it was purely entertaining on business?

That's what I'm saying.

Hee-jae, do people entertain on business
in dark movie theaters these days?

Well, that is strange.

A ticket to a nice show is okay,
but entering a dark theater together is a little...

Tell me how to survive, for heaven's sake.

We need to do a pilot survey to give an answer.

When did it start?
How long has the relationship been going on?

God, it isn't even a relationship. Honest.

Going to the movies simply out of business
is a little too far.

It's between us. What are you hiding?

It's been about 4 months
since I met her in private.

How many times did you see her.

Well, about 10 times.
We'd have a quick meal at lunch.

How many times to the movies?

About 4, 5, 6 times.
I just like movies.

We didn't see a lot of movies, though
because it takes up a lot of time.

How many times to motels then?

- Hee-myung, not true.
- Then did you use a hotel?

- Why are you doing this, Hee-myung?
- Or the lady's house?

I told you it's not like that.

You just slobbered all over
and never even got that far?

Oh, really. Never mind. Never mind.
I don't need your help. I don't need any help.

Sit.

- I said sit.
- It's because of Dad.

Sae-rom went through my pocket
because of the war that broke out between them.

You should have spoke out
and said it's for a business client if it was.

The way you didn't say anything
and made her faint means you aren't innocent.

Is she one to believe that?
How would she believe that?

Few woman would believe that, right?

No, they wouldn't.

She has reason to misunderstand since it was a woman
even though it was purely business.

Everything aside,
just go and beg for forgiveness.

I'm sorry. It'll never happen again.

It'll get weird if I beg, Hee-jae.

Don't beg
and act confident and sure of yourself.

But insist that you only had lunch once
and went to the movies once.

It can't be any more than that.

You had to please a patron who brings in
lots of customers to earn home the bread.

Women don't know how hard men work
to make money.

- Will she believe me?
- You said you're innocent.

Your honesty will get through.
Don't worry.

- Hee-jae, will she believe me?
- I don't even believe you.

How can you eat
and go somewhere dark out of innocence?

Women are scary people.

You're in for it.

It's too late to get divorced, Mother.
You've held out all these years.

You've held out so far.
Consider it your fate.

I think Father is in deep regret.
He doesn't speak a word during meals.

On his way out, he told us to go see you
which means to bring you home.

Lets go home, Mother.

You think I'm crazy?
I've lost it?

An old woman with her days numbered
make big talk about divorce to her kids and leave

only to go back after a day to that geezer?
Are you guys kidding?

- Oh, Mother, that's not what we mean.
- Because you said you're uncomfortable here.

So why bound me hand and foot here?

This is embarrassing for both me and Mrs. Shin.

At Ulsan, they've emptied the room
my sister-in-law had used for me.

How long of a run are you thinking?

It's hard on us if you're gone, Mother.
You know it is.

What's it to me?
I'm not living with him.

Mother.

You're the kids, so you have to deal with it.
That's none of my business.

Husband and wife are strangers
if they split. There's no relation.

Oh, stupid.
So stupid.

I'm a fool for living my whole life like this.

Nagging starts the minute I wake up.

That fickleness, that conceit!
I should gouge my own eyes out.

Who can I blame but myself?

Father is so strong-willed.
He still thinks of you deep down.

My parents had a good eye. They said
he'd make some money, but had poor character.

That he wasn't one to leave you to be comfortable.
He worked me to the bone.

And, all his energy is concentrated on his mouth.
His nitpicking increased by the day.

You're taking it hard because
you've grown weak too, Mother.

He'll continue to nag me
even after I'm in my grave.

I'll probably want to break out of there.

What did he do to make you blow up?

I can't say.
I can't.

How come there's nowhere
to rest my little body?

What is this?
Life is such an empty dream.

Should I give you So-young's room?
I can tell Hee-jae to sleep in the study.

I told you Ho-shik makes me the creeps.

Uh, Mother,
I think you shouldn't go as far as divorce.

Instead, how about going home
under the condition of getting a monetary gift?

You can receive a monetary gift between spouses
without tax up to 600,000 USD.

Why complicate things with a divorce?

You can get your 600 grand
and use it any way you like.

Then, your stress from Father
will decrease profoundly.

You don't even have any pocket money.

You'll feel a lot more comforted
if you have some money.

I'm sure that cheapskate will agree.

I'm alive and well.
How can I let another woman raise my kid?

I want to claim for damages.
Of course, I'm not giving up my kid either.

If you spent 3 years living together
and even had a child,

it's possible to claim for damages
according to termination of de facto marriage.

How much can I get?

Realistically, it's no more than 30,000 USD.

That's all?

You could also claim for division of assets
if any assets increased while you were together.

There is. He made about 200,000 USD
on some project while we were together.

And there's the monthly installment savings.

He was the one to manage the money
and gave me money for living expenses.

I asked for child support, and he told me to take
our child and he'd give 30,000 USD. God!

You can ask for half for division of property.

It won't be as much as half due to
contribution level, but you can make the claim.

But if he lives and has a kid with me,
isn't it false pretenses to marry another woman?

I really can't sue him for fraud
or false pretence of marriage?

People aren't aware yet,
but false marriage pretence was found unconstitutional.

It doesn't exist anymore, and fraud
concerns property or assets,

so tricking someone about marriage
is isn't valid to be considered fraud.

He's a real ass.

But, don't you have someone to babysit?
Why is your baby at the office?

Yes, she's getting her vaccination shots today.
I didn't have much work either.

I see.

You're finished!
Let's burp you.

That's when they're the prettiest.
She's started cooing and babbling, right?

Oh, she's a real chatterbox.

Hey, Ahn So-young.

Oh my, it really is you.

Uh, yes.

You haven't changed a bit.
I recognized you right away.

Is it a boy or girl?

When did you get married?
I never heard that you got married.

You're in Suwon, right?

Um, I'm sorry, but your name...

Hey, it's Chu Sang-suk.
Don't you know me? That's harsh.

Ah.
Uh.

Well, you were a pain,
always with your nose in your books.

I thought you were a pain too, girl.

Wow, it's so nice to meet you like this.
What does your husband do?

Judge? Lawyer?

How come no one knows
you got married?

Hey, you're going to lose your son.

Huh?

Oh, that rascal.

So-young, wait here.
Let's grab some coffee. Just a minute.

Just a minute.

Thank you. Thank you.

Ah, that was a truly a decent lunch.
Thank you, Dr. Lee.

Let's take this over there.
Dr. Ahn?

Oh, let's get up.

I was thinking during the meal,
how if you keep feeding us lunch, Dr. Lee?

We'll pay you for the food and helper's fees.

Let's go.

It's only a 3-4 minute walk
and the food is great.

Why not, Dr. Lee?

Well, I haven't thought about selling food.

It was a really good meal.
Much better than my house.

I have a skillful cook.

Please clear up the table after we leave.

Yes.

- Noise is distracting.
- So fussy.

Have a seat.
Have a seat, Dr. Ahn.

Um, I have to wash my hands.
I touched the crab.

Over there. That door.

I have to head straight home.

- Why?
- Troubles at home.

What is it with your family and their troubles?
What is it this time?

Grandfather and Grandmother are getting divorced.

What?

My mom is on edge as it is over Joon-ki,

but the sparks could land on me if I'm late.

Regardless of the sparks, I should
get home early if there's confusion at home.

My dad gets upset too
if I'm not attentive to household affairs.

Your grandparents still fight so intensely?

Once every 10, 15 years.
It's serious when Grandmother leaves.

She left?
Why?

Because she's getting divorced.
Didn't you hear me?

- What's her reason?
- Irreconcilable differences.

She's hired my sister for the law suit.
Including division of property.

Don't laugh.
She's serious.

When Grandmother's serious,
Mom, Dad, uncles, and aunts are all on alert.

Your house is so funny.

Try living there and tell me if it's funny.

- The coffee is ready.
- Yes.

What did she say?

It's causing Mrs. Shin trouble.

That came up.

She kept insisting on going to Ulsan,
so we had to stop her. We stopped her.

Ulsan? Who'd welcome her there?

- Still, it's her old home.
- Only her nephews are there. How is that home?

Tell her to stop causing a fuss and come home.

If she keeps it up, I'll be the one to divorce her.
Is she the only one with a temper?

Did Mother do something wrong?

Yes,
there is.

Couldn't you tell me
what it is, Father?

It's a curse word.
A curse, so I can't say it with my own lips.

What is everyone doing?

At Hee-gyu's.
They're looking after Mother.

What are they doing there and not coming home?

Honey, get the door.

Can't you see this?
Put that down and open it.

Let's put it down.

I told you I'm not hungry.

You have to get up and eat.
You shouldn't do this.

I'm not hungry.
I have no appetite.

Oh, really Mother!

You have to force yourself to eat
unless you're thinking of starving to death.

We can't even go home because of you.
We're on eggshells because of Mrs. Shin.

That's why I said I'm going to Ulsan.

The children are the ones
to cause trouble in other houses.

Do you like it that it's the parents
cause in trouble in our house?

Hey.

Try some, please?
You have to eat.

Have a seat.
You too, You-jung.

Later for me, Hee-jae.

Hurry up and eat.
I'm starving.

Ah, that's good.
Mom!

Should I feed you, Mom?
Okay, then I'll feed you.

The radish water kimchi is refreshing,
so let's start with that.

Yes, Mom. There you go.

I'm right, I'm telling you.

Is it a double rainbow?

He told his brother that it isn't like that,
so I'm sure it's nothing.

I should believe that?

You just buy it when it's better
for your own sake.

What can you do?
There's no one like him in the world.

He's always been kind to you and us
all this time, so just turn a blind eye.

That's what you do, baby. Okay?

Don't smooth my hair.
I'm mad with him.

Understood?
Did you understand?

It's so vile.
How am I supposed to live with him?

Of course it's vile.
It's vile, but what will you do?

Are you going to toss him out
for some other girl?

Sure, I'll toss him over.

If you end it like that,
do you think you'll find someone

who will call you baby
and go smooch smooch like him?

You've grown used to Hee-gyu,
so you can't live with anyone else.

Just think of it as a chip on a plate
and let it go.

How could he do that when he has me?

How could he?
What do I lack?

You don't know men, dear.

It isn't because their wife lacks something.
They just try it out.

They get bored with just one woman.
Boredom.

I didn't make it boring for him.

Do you know why wives fall over out of anger
when they find their husband's lovers?

It's because the other woman is never
someone their husband would go for.

They're either buck teeth, freckle face,
or have ugly lips like a cave woman.

Mom.

Just think of it as a broken branch
off a tree that you nurtured.

Stay with him.
It'll turn into nothing special after awhile.

Stop singing psalms to a dead horse.
I'm going to kill him.

He isn't answering.
It's because he's guilty.

Come home.
Are you really not coming home this instant?

You want me to go there?
You want to be humiliated big time?

Come home.
Are you really not coming home this instant?

You want me to go there?
You want to be humiliated big time?

I'm not here.
I'm not here, okay?

Nice to see you. I thought you were in Japan.
When did you return?

Oh, I'm back.
Where's your boss?

Uh, he went to Seoul.

What made him go to Seoul?

I don't know all the details.

Someone asked me for a favor.
What's the hottest item these days?

Yes, over here.

Here it is.

Nice.
You have it in every size, right?

Yes, in every size.

It would be nice if they'd choose for themselves

They ask me to do it for them.

I don't even get an errand fee.
I guess this is my fate.

It's not the time to laugh.

- Didn't she cause you trouble?
- No trouble. She's a little under the weather, though.

I'm sorry, Yoo-jin.
Grandma couldn't go with you.

Let's see your diaper.

You didn't go?
Nice and dry!

I changed her at the hospital.

And?

She's grown a lot.
Everything is normal.

Of course, everything is normal.
Certainly.

What about Grandmother?

Your dad is having a hard time
because she's trying to go to Ulsan.

And her decision for divorce is still the same?

How can you take that seriously?

Grandmother was serious.

Aunt Yoo-jung said that monetary gifts
between spouses is tax free up to 600,000 USD.

- How does Aunt Yoo-jung know that?
- Because she's the one most interested in money.

She told her to get that
instead of getting divorced.

That's just like Aunt Yoo-jung.
Like that will go over well with Grandfather.

- No kidding. Dinner?
- A little later.

- Did you eat something?
- No, it's been a weird day.

I was almost in an accident twice.
I don't feel well.

Where were you keeping your head?

I bumped into a high school classmate
at the hospital. I pretended to be married.

I can't spill out my guts to someone
whose name I can't remember.

Then I felt so guilty to Yoo-jin.

I only made big-talk, but
still have a long way to go.

What's there to announce to the world?

Our neighbors are starting to get the clue.

The women that I bump into
look at me that way.

I was bent on admitting it
if anyone asked,

- but no one has yet.
- Because it's a respectable neighborhood.

- Yes.
- Mom.

The director at the single mothers' facility
wants me to do an interview with a ladies journal.

I said I'd think it over, but I'm too scared.

- What kind of interview?
- That women like me can be a single mom.

You know, to give courage
to single moms.

The unfair treatment and financial troubles.
My stand on single mother support policies.

And you have to be in a ladies journal.

Once I start, I could get called by newspapers
and even TV.

I have to have a sense of duty,
but I haven't come that far yet.

I'm a sham, Mom.
It hurts my pride.

I have to get over it.
I have to change direction.

I'd rather you just stayed a sham.

One day, when I get the nerve, I'll do it,
although I don't know when that'll be.

- Come in.
- Uh, uh yeah.

I'm just going to see Mom for a bit.
Just Mom.

Hurry up and come out here.

Did Mom go to the bathroom?

- She isn't there?
- She's not there.

Then I guess she did.
Come in here.

Mom.
Mom.

She isn't there?

Hee-myung, Hee-myung.
Hee-myung!

Uh, uh.
I must've fallen asleep.

- What happened to Mom?
- Mom what?

- She isn't here.
- What?

Hee-jae.
Did Mom go home?

What are you talking about?
Did she say she was?

Hey, what was Hee-myung doing?
Wasn't he there?

Oh, no, no, no.

How could you sleep if you're the night watch?

Mom was sleeping too.

Don't you know what "night watch" means?

Hey, do you know how long the day has been?

You haven't done anything.
What are you raising your voice about?

Do you think I'm in the position to
think of Mom right now?

That's your problem.

- Argh!
- Ah! Old woman!

Mom!

- I know how shocked you are.
- You wanted to cheat, didn't you?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Ahn Ho-shik and Choi Geum-shil
are now complete strangers.

I knew there's no one to trust in the world
yet I trusted you.

Incompetent fools.

Do something.

- Psychological cheating is cheating too.
- That's not what it was.

I don't believe you.

Go tell her I'm going to hire 10 lawyers
and stand up against her.

Tell him to stop dreaming.

How could you do that to me?

- I could eat you alive, but...
- It isn't true.

Bastard.

- Did you marry her to be her slave?
- Oh, Mom.

This isn't a confession it's sabotage.

- He said he'd be faithful to me.
- So did you get a handful of her hair?

- Stop fooling around and take care of the assets.
- She wants to fight, I can put up a fight.

I want a divorce.
