EPISODE 16: THE GLORY DAYS
I began playing golf again because of Ae-ra.
-What are you doing? -And what are you doing?
Can't you tell? I'm hitting on guys like mad.
Do you get it now?
Do you see how dirty and cheap I am? So--
Whatever you do, I won't let you go.
So don't do this.
You need to stop.
What? You won't leave no matter what I do?
Who do you think you are?
If I tell you to get lost, you need to get lost!
Why must I get lost?
Give me one reason.
What?
If it's reasonable,
I'll get lost.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Do you know...
what I planned to do to you when we first met?
Do you know what I had schemed with Gang-san to do to you?
I know.
-What? -You were going to seduce me,
take pictures of me, and blackmail me.
I heard you
talking to him on the phone.
I just can't do it.
I really want to stop now.
Fine. Do as you wish.
Just kill me instead.
You knew that...
but you accepted me?
Because he was the one who deserved to die.
Not you,
but that dirtbag Gang-san.
I'm not going to leave you.
I'll protect you by your side,
and I'll make you smile even more than how much you were hurt.
So don't try to leave me,
and lean on me.
NAMSEO HOSPITAL
Let me introduce you to Chef Ahn Yu-bin,
who miraculously came back to life.
Today, I made special vegetable porridge for the patient.
Then please try a bite.
Goodness. It tastes like death.
Do you mean that you might die because it's too delicious?
No, because it's really...
Yes, you're right.
I mean, it's so good that I wouldn't know even if someone died next to me.
Yu-bin said it's very delicious.
Then will you empty the bowl for us?
SEOBU POLICE STATION DETECTIVE LEE BONG-U
Actually, my stomach hurts.
-No, it's okay. Eat up. -Hello?
Are you Ahn Yu-bin's father?
This is the Traffic Division of Seobu Police Station.
We have identified the culprit.
Come in.
Excuse me, Dr. Nam.
Is your son all right?
Thanks for asking. He's doing much better.
I'm so relieved.
Dr. Nam, we're rooting for you!
Thank you.
Right, can you take appointments only in the morning for a while?
Yes, Dr. Nam. These came in the mail while you were away.
We'll leave these here.
NAM JEONG-HAE
And these too.
All right.
NAM JEONG-HAE
TO JEONG-HAE
Try to eat more.
You need to eat to get the energy to lose your temper, nag, and threaten me.
Will you really be like this?
You'll collapse at this rate.
What do I mean to you?
Not you too.
"Not you too"?
You don't care about me.
I'm worth less to you than a free gift with purchase.
What about my life? I left my family and everything and live for you.
What about my life?
Darn it.
Fine. I don't care if you starve or not.
I don't care if you live or die!
You've been going dancing, haven't you?
Who said that?
What's your relationship with the director of that dance studio?
The lady in unit 1002 saw you and her shopping side by side.
Eun-sil, it's not that.
Do you think what you're doing is okay?
How could you do this?
Pu-reum is only seven years old.
Our future is already grim even if we make as much money as we can.
How could you go around dancing?
What's your relationship with her?
Eun-sil, it's not what you think. It's not, so don't take it the wrong way.
Hey, I'm late. Let's talk later.
Honey, your bag. Your bag.
Your bag. You need to take your bag!
He's completely out of his mind.
After all that talk, telling me to focus on the house chores...
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE: PARK CHUN-BOK
What's this?
TRAFFIC DIVISION TEAM 2
The driver who hit Yu-bin
ran into some guardrails the next day while driving under the influence
and died on the scene.
The car wasn't his, and the driver was a credit delinquent,
so it was pretty tough to identify him.
First, please sign this confirmation.
NOTICE OF CASE PROCESSING RESULT
GUARDIAN'S SIGNATURE
Hey, you're back.
Goodness, Did Yu-bin fall asleep again?
He has to sleep a lot to recover quickly.
Did you meet him?
He died.
I wanted to punch him a few times and tell him to drive properly.
But he died.
Ji-uk is here, isn't he?
Is someone here?
Dad.
Come here. Let's go home.
Goodness, Dad. I'm not going home.
Not until Mom gives me her approval.
I said let's go!
Go get your approval from her.
You shouldn't stay away from home until she gives her approval.
You need to go persuade her until she approves of this.
You know how she is. Once she says no, that's final.
If I must cut ties with her, I will.
But I'm not going home until she gives in.
-Dad. -What?
"Cut ties with her"?
Do you think it's that easy to cut off ties
with your parents?
You know what?
It really isn't easy.
I've done it.
I don't regret that I chose to be with you and your mom.
But I shouldn't have cut ties with my mother to make that decision.
I should've done everything I could to persuade her.
You have no idea how much I regret cutting her off
without doing my best to persuade her.
It's as if...
It's as if there is...
a stake driven through my heart.
That's how much it hurts.
Your mom doesn't show how she feels,
but do you know how tormented and guilty she feels
about me leaving my family?
So you two...
You two shouldn't do that.
Where did I leave my bag?
The notebook with my client list is in that bag too.
Gosh, this is driving me insane.
How can you go around dancing? Are you out of your mind?
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE: PARK CHUN-BOK
Go up first.
Go up and beg.
Stress that Mom is the most important person in your life.
Got that?
Don't be a man. Be a son.
Okay, Dad.
You can do it, son!
Did you
break up with her?
What are you doing?
I came to ask for your permission.
I won't budge from here until you give me permission.
Stop it already!
I'd rather die first.
I will not approve of an orphan porn star.
No, even after I die.
I won't approve of her.
I know that's not why you disapprove of her.
What do you mean?
I know...
why you disapprove.
Did she...
tell you?
No.
I knew from the start.
You knew that?
But you were seeing her anyway?
How could you?
How could you do that?
You and she could never be happy!
Why?
What's wrong with you?
Are you trying to kill your mom?
You're all I have.
I live for you.
I'm putting up with everything to watch you become happy.
What's wrong with you?
Dad says...
he regrets it terribly.
He doesn't regret leaving his family to choose you and me,
but he says...
he regrets not sticking through it
and getting his mom's blessing.
He said Ae-ra and I shouldn't do that,
and that I should get your permission no matter what.
Dad cried
and pleaded with me.
So please, Mom. Please give me permission to see her.
You're the most important person in my life.
I don't want to cut ties with you.
Mom. She really needs me.
So please give me your permission.
My mom.
Mom.
Mom. I miss you.
Mom.
One, two, three, four.
Kick and bounce.
Samba one.
Good.
Reverse.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE: PARK CHUN-BOK
Park Chun-bok has
vascular dementia.
It's still in its early stage,
but I recommended that he pick up dancing to delay its progression.
Okay, remember the bounce. The bounce is important.
Why didn't you put on your tie?
I forgot how to tie it.
8 times 2 is 16. 8 times 3 is 24.
8 times 4 is 32.
Honey.
You're home. You haven't eaten yet, right?
I'll set a table for you.
I ate.
Eun-sil, let's talk.
What?
Yes? What is it, honey?
I'm
seeing the dance instructor.
That's why I'm taking dance class as you say.
I want to see her seriously.
So let's...
get divorced.
Good luck with her.
I'll stay quietly by your side.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
I want to try living with a woman
who is rich and successful!
Hey.
Did you...
look through my...
Why didn't you tell me?
Who cares about stupid dementia?
Don't worry.
I'll make sure you get all better.
Trust me.
Enough already!
Please leave when I let you go.
If it gets worse,
I'll forget that I even have dementia.
I'll become more and more violent,
nasty,
and eat all day long.
I'll pee and poop anywhere.
And eventually...
Eventually...
It's okay. I can handle it all.
Eun-sil.
Can you...
Can you leave me if I get sick?
I may not know who you are.
It's okay. I'll know who you are.
I may not know who Pu-reum is.
It's okay. She'll know who you are.
It's okay, honey.
We'll know who you are.
So it's not a problem at all.
"Not you too"?
You don't care about me.
I'm worth less to you than a free gift with purchase.
What about my life? I left my family and everything and live for you.
What about my life?
Dad says he regrets not sticking through it
and getting his mom's blessing.
He says it feels like he has a stake driven through his heart.
♫ I couldn't say the name ♫
"SAD SONG" PLAYING
♫ Of the person I love ♫
♫ And with loneliness ♫
♫ My name is forgotten ♫
Mom.
I've always done everything you've ever said.
So please let me do what I want just this once.
It's bad enough she's an orphan with a kid.
But a porn star? Of all the...
You are thick-skinned.
It's bad enough you hold your head high
after showing your naked body to the whole world.
How dare you seduce my precious son?
Mother.
I'll be very good to him.
So please, won't you--
Don't call me "Mother"!
I'd rather slit my throat and kill myself
than permit this marriage.
So if you two really want to live together,
cut ties with me first. Got that?
Let's go.
Mother, please don't be angry.
I'll... I'll really be good to him.
I'll do everything you say,
so please give me a chance.
Stop it!
Hyeong-u.
What is wrong with you?
She says over her dead body.
Let her cut ties with me. Let's go.
She doesn't mean it.
I can't see you if your mother doesn't approve.
So do whatever it takes to get her approval--
Gyeong-ja.
All I need is you. I don't need anyone else.
I don't need my mom.
So please, let's move in together.
I'm sorry this is all I am.
I'm very sorry.
Don't say that.
You are
the coolest woman in the world no matter what anyone says.
I love you.
♫ I cry from missing you when the wind blows ♫
I'm cold.
-Mommy. -Mommy? Gosh.
Mommy.
♫ When I become lonely in life ♫
Mom.
♫ I will miss you ♫
♫ My forgotten name ♫
Go home and sleep comfortably.
I'm comfortable here.
I guess we need to be emotionally comfortable to be physically comfortable.
We're still young.
I feel like I've regained the world.
That's right. I feel like I've been reborn.
Hae-suk said...
she was taking a trip, right?
Yes. It must've been draining on her to open a restaurant.
She's going to recharge.
I didn't want to tell you,
but I feel like I should tell you.
Hae-suk didn't take a trip.
Tae-uk! We found Baek Hae-suk!
We've located Baek Hae-suk.
-Take me to her. -But
the thing is...
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
TO MY FRIENDS
FROM YOUR FIRST LOVE FOREVER, HAE-SUK
Hey. What happened to Hae-suk? What?
What do you mean, Hae-suk is dying?
What's this?
What is that?
To my friends.
First, forgive me for showing up out of the blue
and for leaving again like this out of the blue.
After I left you guys 20 years ago,
I had sworn I wouldn't see you again.
But it wasn't that easy.
So you're saying her belongings were cremated with her?
Yes, she came to see me before she passed away
and made that request to me.
It's actually illegal to do so,
but I felt really bad for her situation.
What were the things that were cremated with her?
What did you burn with the body of the deceased?
Well, she had a trophy from a golf tournament,
her cellphone,
and a pair of red heels.
You guys were the glory days of my life.
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
You're my wonderful friends who gave me the most beautiful days,
the happiest time of my life.
Lastly,
I'd like to ask you guys a favor.
I didn't have
the courage to visit her.
Could you visit Professor Koo
on my behalf
and ask for forgiveness?
I'm sorry, Professor Koo.
I'm sorry.
Where's my husband?
When will he get here?
She thinks Man-sik is her husband.
She's still waiting for him to come.
I tried to kill him.
If nobody else killed him, I would have killed him.
That evil man.
She's always in that state.
She goes back and forth between a sense of longing and anger,
and she has extreme seizures now and then.
It must be too tough
for her to hate her husband or forgive him.
BAEK HAE-SUK RESTS HERE.
We went to see Professor Koo, Hae-suk.
We should have visited her long ago.
FOREVER OUR HEROINE WHO GIFTED US WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS DAYS.
You guys
have always been like my black knights.
Now it's time for me to become
your protector.
My beloved friends,
don't live in pain anymore.
Be happy.
20 YEARS AGO, THE DAY OF PROFESSOR HAN EUNG-SIK'S MURDER
Today's performance is the very last one we put on
as students of Yeongang University.
I hope you put in all of your hard work
and capture the hearts of the audience with this performance.
All right, then.
I'll take the picture.
One, two, three.
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
-We just need you to do well. -I'm so nervous.
-My gosh. -What's with the fuss?
-What am I going to do? -Are you okay?
-It's fine. -Do I look cool?
You don't look cool. That's why I have an affair.
PROFESSOR HAN EUNG-SIK
-Can you stop by for a second? -Stop it.
-Do you like me? -You better not like me.
-I can't believe this. -Hey.
-You'll be my wife on stage. -You make it way too obvious.
My gosh, she has been like that because she had a crush on me.
If you ever contact me again,
I'll visit your wife, Professor Koo, and expose everything to her.
Do whatever you want.
Are you insane?
What did you say? "Expose everything"?
Then try doing whatever you want!
What are you doing?
Come here.
You brat.
PROFESSOR HAN EUNG-SIK
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
I'll notify the school right now.
How dare you glare at me?
Do you think you're equal to me?
If you're a professor, you should act like a professor
and set an example for the students.
Let go.
What's this?
What if I refuse? What will you do about it?
-Darn it! -You little...
No.
Where have you been?
What's going on?
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
What happened to your face?
Wait, did that man do this to you?
PROFESSOR OF KOREAN LITERATURE
Hello?
There's a dead person here.
It's the humanities building of Yeongang University.
Professor Han Eung-sik's office. Yes.
Please come in a hurry.
Yes.
Are you sure everyone was there together?
-Yes. -Yes.
We'll find out during the investigation.
How many times do we have to tell you?
We were all going through our final rehearsal.
Stop trembling, man.
We were all at the final rehearsal.
Isn't that so?
Of course. Don't be scared.
You have a solid alibi.
It's my first time seeing a dead body,
but we don't have to get scared.
It's not like we killed him.
Let's keep up our spirits.
-Is she a suspect? -Yes, she's a murder suspect.
I'll go study abroad like you said.
But I have a favor to ask.
Please find a good attorney.
A friend is
locked up as a murder suspect.
"PROFESSOR HAN EUNG-SIK FOUND DEAD IN OFFICE"
"HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A STUDENT"
I can't believe this.
Did Ms. Baek make this choice to repay her friends
who killed that professor
on her behalf 20 years ago?
Goodness.
Should I be jealous of their wonderful friendship or something?
Tae-uk, what happens now?
All the hard evidence is gone.
What do you think?
The number of unsolved cases goes up by one.
Let's go eat lunch.
All right.
First, Man-sik, then Hae-suk.
How can this happen?
Seriously.
You're right.
I still can't believe Hae-suk came back into our lives.
It all feels like a dream.
I knew it. Hae-suk seemed different
when she came to see Yu-bin.
That bright and bubbly girl seemed sort of gloomy,
and you know, sort of calm.
Really?
I couldn't tell.
I was a bit concerned about the suitcase she brought.
I shouldn't have left like that on that day.
Thanks to Hae-suk, we got to visit Professor Koo.
Don't you feel much lighter at heart?
When Professor Koo patted me on the back,
her hand was so warm that I had a hard time holding back the tears.
Gosh, look at the time.
Eun-sil is probably still up waiting.
I'll get going.
I have to go read the scenario too.
Aren't you two leaving?
Go ahead.
Do you think they'll be okay?
They needed to talk it out at least once.
It wouldn't be easy
for Gung-cheol to forgive Jae-hun.
You're right.
We can never go back to our fun old days, can we?
I doubt it.
But it might be possible with time.
Something like this happened 20 years ago.
What?
Does that mean we can only have fun again at 60?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure if I'll be alive then.
Chun-bok.
You have to live long, okay?
Who am I going to hang out with
if you aren't around?
I want to live long too.
Ms. Baek Hae-suk took all the evidence
and disappeared into a pile of ashes.
Therefore, the investigation of Joo Gang-san's murder
is practically closed.
I thought I should tell you myself.
That's why I came here.
Anyway,
for whom do you think Ms. Baek did
what she did?
For Mr. Jung Jae-hun? For Mr. Ahn Gung-cheol?
Or was it for you, Ms. Nam Jeong-hae?
You don't have to answer that.
I asked out of personal curiosity.
Thank you for all your cooperation. Goodbye.
Why did you
turn yourself in?
Because I killed him.
Did you forget what I said?
Even if you killed him, you didn't.
That was just your wish.
It's true that I killed him.
Did you just put on a show
knowing that the evidence was gone?
Fine. I don't care if you put on a show or not.
That's not what's important.
What's important is that those things are
now gone from the face of the earth.
What should I do now?
Will you tell me?
What...
What should I do from now on?
If I tell you,
will you do as I say?
Fine.
I'll do it.
Forget everything
and make a fresh start.
That's probably what Hae-suk wants too.
But...
don't ever show your face in front of me again.
You killed someone else
in addition to that jerk.
My conviction died because of you.
My conviction was like my life.
So you've killed me.
Let us never meet
again.
Ms. Baek Hae-suk took all the evidence
and disappeared into a pile of ashes.
For whom do you think Ms. Baek did
what she did?
You all gave me
the most beautiful memories
of my entire life.
But I don't think I gave anything to any of you.
That's what I feel the worst about,
and it's what I regret the most.
You're here.
I ran pretty late, didn't I?
You must be tired. Why didn't you go home and sleep?
I'm not tired. You should go home and get some sleep.
I'll stay here.
Gung-cheol.
Yes?
Let's forget
about everything.
We kept saying we'll forget everything,
but we never actually forgot.
Let's not do that anymore.
Let's forget everything
and bury them.
Do you
know
everything?
Yes.
Detective Cho came by.
Let's forget everything.
And I don't mean that we'll forgive anybody.
Just so that
Hae-suk's death wouldn't be wasted.
It's the last present our friend gave us.
We should accept it.
You killed someone else
in addition to that jerk.
My conviction died
because of you.
My conviction was like my life.
So you've killed me.
Jae-hun.
You need to stop now.
Stop loving someone who won't look at you
and really live
your life now.
ONE MONTH LATER
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
What are you stressing about? Just put it up for sale.
He's right. It's in your name anyway.
Hae-suk put so much care into it.
I feel bad selling it.
That's true.
Hey. Then you run it.
You don't have a job anyway.
That's right. Gung-cheol is jobless.
Which is why I was thinking...
Do you want to run it with me?
With me? Hey. That's ridiculous.
Yes, that's weird.
It's not like he's normal. Think it over again.
I've thought a lot about it.
You are more than qualified.
The doctor said you should move around a lot.
I'll help you, so run it with me.
Really?
Do you think I can do it?
True. You were nervous about keeping your job anyway.
You can just quit
and become the owner of a bar restaurant.
I'll come by and help when I'm not working.
You'll be here every day then.
You're right.
Should I just get a job too?
Gung-cheol, don't you need a manager?
Why would we need three people in this tiny place?
We won't make any money.
You call this place tiny?
You cheapo. You want to keep all the profits.
Stop eating that!
Eating a lot of it doesn't help. You should eat the right amount.
I'm having one a day.
Anyway, I haven't heard at all from Jae-hun.
I hope everything's okay with him.
What is this?
Did you drink all this in a few days?
Are you trying to kill yourself?
Stop drinking.
-Give it back. -What's wrong with you?
This isn't like you.
And what's like me?
What is like me?
Not batting an eye even if the world collapses around you.
Not being phased even if you're stabbed.
Not giving a person a second glance even if he dies in front of you.
That's you.
I'm not human.
Didn't you know that?
You're not human.
So stop acting like one now.
You told Hae-suk, didn't you?
Why did you do that to her?
Why did you do that to that poor girl?
Hae-suk said she felt sorry for you.
She said she felt so bad for you, it was unbearable.
She said she needed to save you.
That's what she said as she took it.
Save me?
-Me? -So don't do this.
Shake it off and act like yourself.
Be clean, arrogant,
finicky, and shameless.
Then what?
Will you bring those things back?
What?
I'll go back to being me!
So put them
back where they belong.
What is wrong with you?
It's been a month already. Get over it.
You can't do it, can you?
Then mind your own business and get lost.
Doctor.
You'll come back after a year, right?
Of course.
Then we'll leave this office for you
until you do.
Thank you for everything, Ms. Lim.
You too, Ms. Jung.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Jung Jae-hun insists strongly that he killed him,
but since the evidence
to back that statement is gone,
it is impossible to arrest him.
You're going to the US?
Yes. Didn't I tell you?
I'm flying out tonight.
I thought the sooner I got out of your sight the better.
Seeing me just makes you drink.
Stop drinking so much, and make sure to eat.
And get back to work.
Aren't you worried about your patients?
Cancel it. Stay a few more days.
Oh my gosh.
Honey. Are you clinging onto me?
You must still be drunk.
-Mo-ran. -Sorry, but I can't.
Because
if I stay a few more days, I may cling onto you.
I'll go now.
I'll take you to the airport.
Don't. Saying bye at the airport is tacky. I don't like it.
If...
by chance
you're able to remove a certain someone from your heart,
will you call me?
I'm the only woman in the entire world
who can completely accept and understand
your pain, sadness, wounds,
weaknesses, strengths, and traumas.
So call me once you've moved on.
I'm fine even if it's just an empty shell.
Bye.
That's right.
I should say bye.
I guess you liked my farewell message.
Goodbye.
-Hi, Gung-cheol. -Hi, Mo-ran.
I came for my dishes and knives, but you're not in.
Yes. What's the code?
Okay.
Know something?
What Hae-suk took
was an empty suitcase. An empty suitcase.
