QUEEN OF TEARS
Tell me it's not real.
DIVORCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Tell me it's not.
That you don't know anything about it.
-Hae-in. -Say it.
Say it's not true.
What are you waiting for?
I can't.
It's real. I wrote it.
I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner.
When was it?
When did…
When did you write this?
I…
have something to say.
Was it… the day I told you
I don't have a lot of time left?
It was.
And so
you had this prepared…
…to ask for a divorce.
You changed your mind when you learned
I would die soon?
That's right.
And so…
this whole time you've been lying?
What's keeping you from lying now?
You've been doing so well up till now.
What's holding you back?
I…
saw it on my way over.
On the bridge, our lock's still there.
Hong Hae-in.
Where are you going now?
You stay. I'll leave.
Just
let me be alone.
I'm tired.
Too tired to be upset.
Just hear me out.
Why… why I did it,
what I was feeling,
and what I'm going to do.
Save it. That's enough.
I don't wanna know.
I love you, Hong Hae-in.
I… I love you.
You okay?
What are you doing here?
You shouldn't be walking around all by yourself.
Let's go inside.
I'll explain everything from the beginning.
And I'll… do whatever it is you want.
-So-- -Baek Hyun-woo.
Next time this happens…
don't save me.
Turns out Hyun-woo is normal.
-How shocking. -What's that?
I mean, lately, it seemed like Hyun-woo was really in love with Hae-in,
so I thought he'd gone crazy.
But the divorce papers have proved he is quite ordinary.
I was surprised too.
Who would have thought he was preparing everything himself?
-You think he acted alone? -Hmm?
Someone's behind all this.
Someone who's been acting suspicious lately.
Who?
Auntie.
Oh.
Huh?
She's been getting in my way a lot lately saying all this rubbish,
like how Hyun-woo is better-looking than me or something.
Anyway, it seemed like both she and Hyun-woo
were sharing some kind of secret.
The main focus of this business…
-What? -So why would she go alone?
Why did you let her go by herself?
Why would you let her go by herself?
-Let her go where by herself? -Huh?
What? But why is she crying?
They were conspiring about something. That's what it looked like.
Really?
But what could it be?
Unfortunately, uh, we haven't seen any improvement
in the white blood cell count, uh, or lymphocyte ratio.
The Filgrastim treatment doesn't seem to be effective either.
And, as a doctor, my advice is always to help the patient
not to lose the will to live.
And you mentioned that your wife ran into oncoming traffic.
Such actions are not typically exhibited by individuals who even subconsciously
hold a desire to hold onto life.
I've witnessed many terminally ill patients resort to suicide.
No less than those who die from a disease.
But it's those who have something to hold onto,
hope, desire, love, or even hatred, who desperately fight for their lives.
And even if your wife gets another chance, it will only be meaningful
if she has something worth fighting for. Do you understand?
Yes?
Mrs. Hong would like to be discharged now.
What?
Where are you going?
Who cares? The treatment isn't working.
It's not that it won't work. Just please give it time.
We'll fly back here once your white blood cell count has improved--
Don't be cruel now.
This is all good news for you.
That I'm done trying.
You're… just giving up then?
You're not gonna do anything?
Not gonna file a lawsuit?
If you'd just agree to the divorce,
I'd appreciate it.
-What? -You've already found out.
So?
Well, normally, you'd never let me off easy.
It was hard enough for me to live with you.
Don't act like you don't know this about yourself, Hae-in.
You know what kind of person you are.
Don't you think this was hard for me?
It'd be so easy to stay and keep on being in a conglomerate family.
But why do you think I tried to leave?
Because I hated every second of living with you.
Hey.
-Baek Hyun-woo. -You know what, you're right.
Honestly,
when you said you had three months to live,
I… thought I am saved.
Just three more months.
Then I'd be free of it all.
But I got caught.
It's painful being around you.
So instead of doing anything,
if you just quit,
and sign the divorce agreement,
honestly,
I'd be grateful.
Would you do that?
Now what?
Should I pack my bags and leave?
Or…
I can keep sucking up to you if you decide
to revise your will.
What are you trying to do here exactly?
Can you handle it? Making me this angry at you?
Bring it on, then! Do it!
What are you gonna do?
Whatever it is, bring it on!
The initial investigation on Song is complete,
but it's our opinion as your attorneys that they're not going to stop there.
If that's what's going on with the prosecution,
then sooner or later, they'll subpoena you.
I can't believe we're in this mess because of Hyun-woo.
Speaking of, I'm worried.
You can't stand in front of the prosecution
with all those pills you're constantly taking.
Then why don't you go instead?
-Huh? -Why not?
I served my time in jail.
I was no older than Soo-cheol.
It would be doable if I were his age.
What are you looking at me for?
It's an experience so special, you can't pay to have it.
Oh, well, I don't want it.
You take the place of your grandfather,
and I think that'll make you seem like the heir to the people.
But if you don't, you'll look like a real bastard.
Father, I have family to protect.
I have a family to protect too, kid.
Yeah, that's me. You should be protecting me.
What are you trying to do?
Just shut it!
The problem is, we have a large-scale investment deal around the corner.
If investors found out about this, the deal might fall through.
Right. We should speed things up with the deal first.
The table is set and ready for us to eat.
But we might end up feeding the whole plate to Chairman Yeom.
It's only a matter of time before reporters find out.
Once it gets out, Mr. Yoon will back out of the deal.
And that's what Chairman Yeom wants.
So right now, I think we need to close this deal, Chairman.
Grandfather!
QUEENS MART ENTERS NEW RESORT BUSINESS
Once the construction begins,
we'll let it slip to the joint investors that there is a problem with the permit
due to the resort site's height restriction.
Then the investment companies and the securities firms
that made the loans will opt for early redemption.
Hong Soo-cheol will be a puddle on the floor.
What if he cries?
That's when I'll offer to provide extra funding
to match what the rest of the investors withdraw
in a convertible bond.
This is when the prosecution will begin the actual investigation?
Yes.
Once the public finds out, their whole family will go to jail.
That's when I exercise my conversion rights
and secure Queens stock.
We'll add up the 4.9% of the shares we each secured before that
and announce it publicly.
That'll make us the largest shareholders.
Things are going pretty well for us.
I'm glad he's out of the way. Baek Hyun-woo was such a nuisance.
Those divorce papers appeared at the exact right time for us.
Who would've thought?
Did Hyun-woo say it's true?
He put his seal on the paperwork too?
Why bother asking? Of course, he did.
Yeah, but how could he do this?
What's the point in rehashing every last detail?
Just get divorced.
Let's just say that we can get past Hyun-woo planting a bug on you
and giving the recording to the prosecution.
Why would you get past that?
Are you little brats so quick to look past problems that aren't yours, huh?
What I really can't wrap my head around is that Hyun-woo,
that asshole, he tried to divorce my Hae-in first.
That's the only thing I can wrap my head around.
There must be someone.
Another woman? Father, I'll find out what's happening.
No.
-I'll have the Audit Team do it. -The Audit Team?
He'll be leaving Queens after the divorce.
Let's be sure that he's clean.
I'll go through his computer, accounting records, phone, bank accounts,
and use digital forensics to trace his funds.
I'll find out who he knows and what he's been up to.
If any embezzlement or misconduct is found,
I will charge him with all possible civil and criminal charges, and seek damages.
-Is all that necessary? -Yes, it's necessary.
I will handle all of this.
So everyone had better keep out of my way.
So tenacious.
I told you I'd get you at the airport.
Did you forget? Yeah? You all right?
Huh? Hey, everything intact?
Jeez. Hey, can you hear me?
People's eardrums get ruptured when they're beaten up.
Many of my clients show up like that.
Listen up, Hyun-woo.
I'm all right.
Oh, really? You're okay? Huh?
You worked hard.
Right here. Let's hug.
Your whole relationship was an act anyway. You couldn't have done one more scene?
"Honey, I wrote these divorce papers to practice being a divorce attorney."
You know, some sort of improv would've been nice.
Your wife must be very angry. I wouldn't wanna piss her off.
And you probably feel so empty inside.
AVAILABLE FOR MONTHLY RENT
This whole thing was such an ordeal for you.
All for nothing.
You've got it all wrong.
-Wrong about what? -She wasn't mad.
-She wasn't? -No.
And I'm not empty inside.
-I'm angry. -Hey.
Who gave you the right to be angry?
She cried.
Hae-in.
And when she cried, I flipped out.
More than I ever have.
This is crazy.
What have I done?
What's all this?
What happened to not being able to live another day with her?
So does he really like her, or what?
So what's your next plan?
-I don't have one? -Really? No plans?
I think Hae-in is coming up with something.
She's doing that 'cause you got her all riled up.
She must be busy right now, trying to push you out.
It would be the perfect revenge.
I know.
-As she should. -What are you saying?
She needs that right now.
Something for her to focus on.
So you're gonna set the table for her to plan your demise?
What is up with you?
Just walking into a battle, knowing you'll die.
Next time this happens…
don't save me.
At least she'll live.
Hyun-woo.
Why did you do it?
I'm going to see your grandfather. Can we do this later?
It's HSC.
-What? -You can do whatever you want.
But the heir is Hong Soo-cheol. HSC, understand?
Do you not get what's going on right now?
You wanted my position, so you eavesdropped?
You wanted to hear my conversation with Grandfather.
No, I didn't want any of that.
-I didn't listen in either. -I get it.
What?
Living with my sister without a single complaint
requires some serious ambition.
And what now?
You messed up and got caught.
You know, once I succeeded with this resort business,
I was going to reward you.
"If I started a new branch in Yufuin or Cancún,
that'd be perfect."
"I could send Hyun-woo far away."
"Oh, Yufuin is too close. The flight is only an hour,
which means Hae-in could visit at any time she wanted."
"Cancún should give him enough breathing room."
I had all this in mind.
What?
You have to stop the construction of the resort.
Mr. Yoon's consulting firm predicts an annual operating profit of 500 billion.
Hanjeong Consulting has that around 89 billion won.
Not even a fifth of the former. Isn't that strange?
Closing the deal when the site suitability hasn't been fully--
There you go getting in my way again!
Hyun-woo, just stop being so uptight about my success.
HSC. Keep it in mind.
Sorry for causing you concern.
All right, just tell me.
Why on earth did you keep the divorce papers hidden?
Or were you planning on shoving it in our faces later, is that it?
Is that why you've been disobeying me and nitpicking everything I say?
Because of that divorce paper?
Baek Hyun-woo, the chairman would to see you now.
Okay.
He requested all electronics to be left outside.
Yes, and so do I.
You're probably recording us.
Mmm.
-What did Chairman Yeom promise you? -Sir?
I really don't care if you get divorced or not.
You're the one screwing yourself over.
I apologize.
But if you planted a bug on me
and used it to sell me out to the prosecution through Chairman Yeom,
that I will not forgive.
Song's embezzlement, are you responsible?
Did you plan this to get to me?
Team Leader Song's embezzlement was ultimately targeted at you.
Are you playing with words right now?
I'm saying you're the one who did it!
The person signing Song's documents is Director Jo Hyeon-myeong.
Next to him is Hwang Byeong-u, CEO of the accounting firm Byeongu,
one of our external auditors. The two went to college together.
So, what about it?
We have our accounts audited every year,
but there's never been a negative opinion in the audit results.
I find it hard to believe they didn't know Song was embezzling money from you
for five years now.
So what you're saying is Jo Hyeon-myeong
knew about Song's embezzlement…
…but conspired with the accounting firm to leave him be on purpose,
as an excuse to get me investigated?
No.
Director Jo needed help on this. Someone else must be behind this.
Whoever that is, is the one responsible for planting the bug and the receiver
to make it look like it was me.
So, who did it?
I don't know yet who's responsible.
What?
You're not even sure,
and yet I'm supposed to believe the guy
who tried to stab my granddaughter in the back and divorce her?
Huh?
Director.
Get a move on.
Why?
'Cause Baek Hyun-woo is looking into you.
ESTIMATED ASSETS 2,386,690
Investing in stocks again?
In this market?
Just because it's bad, I don't have to cry about it.
It'll be good soon, you'll see.
QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE
-Yeah, boy! -What is it?
-How's it looking? -Don't worry.
-What is it? What's happening? -Nothing. It's nothing.
Don't worry. It's nothing.
-Let go! -Hey, that really hurt.
Hey! Did you buy Queens Department Store stocks?
Our mother's gonna freak out if she finds out.
Then why did you do it?
Idiot.
I've been invested for a while actually, but I sold some.
When?
When Hyun-woo said he was getting divorced.
CEO's private life tends to affect stocks.
So I figured I'd sell, you know,
with the media being covered with negative news.
Son of a bitch.
So, since they are getting divorced,
you bought them again?
Yeah. How about it?
-There. It's doing good. -Oh…
Oh, Mom.
Since when do you take naps?
I had a nightmare.
-Oh, goodness. -What was it?
It's a bit confusing.
Were you pregnant?
-Tell me. -Huh?
-You know, that's good luck. -No. It was nothing like that, no.
Mmm.
MOM
-He's busy. -Uh, hello?
I thought… Isn't this Baek Hyun-woo's phone?
Yes, that's correct. This is Hae-in's mother.
Ah, yes. I'm sorry. How are you?
Uh, I guess Hyun-woo left his phone and went somewhere else.
-Why are you-- -Yes.
Beak Hyun-woo is talking to my father-in-law right now.
I'm not sure if you know this,
but our family is a complete mess right now because of him.
What? What happened?
A bug was found in my father-in-law's…
Actually, forget I said that.
He's been getting ready to file for a divorce?
What?
Uh…
I do recall that he said that, yes.
Buy anything can happen.
They could spend the rest of their lives together.
And I thought they'd gotten past it.
The divorce, they know.
Uh, well…
I think that you maybe should try to--
You told me on their wedding day
not to get in the way of them being happy together.
I will make sure those two get divorced.
Don't get in my way.
Now what? Spill it.
What should I do?
Oh, goodness. What should I do?
This is bullshit.
Hey, Ma.
Something crazy is going on.
What if Hyun-woo gets divorced for real?
Hmm?
Are you serious right now?
SELL
YOUR ORDER IS COMPLETE
Ha!
Bingo.
I mean, what's so complicated about it?
You can use the same strategy to make pears popular.
Hong Hae-in can bite into a refreshing pear
and all she has to say is, "Wow, that's so sweet."
-You're saying I should ask her again? -You should.
I mean, she's already willing.
Ugh. Those freeloaders. They're the ones at fault.
What do you think?
It's amazing how Ms. Hong showed up out of the blue with presents
even with her busy schedule.
But to ask for her help once again?
Not easy to do.
-Yeah. -You'll lose face too.
Really?
So you're saying that Park Seok-hun will take everything from us?
Jeez, calm down.
You're always taking things to the extreme.
You're an INFP?
What are you even saying? I'm Park Chun-sik.
What are your goals in life? Do you care about how you treat others?
Or are you ruthless in your pursuit of your goals? INFP or ENFJ.
Yeah, I'm thinking…
…INFP.
Let's get her to eat a pear.
And then she'll say, "Sweet as honey."
But before that, we need the video of her eating an apple taken down.
If you don't want your efforts going to waste, disarm the other side.
I think that's exactly right.
Dad, I've been calling you.
Oh, my phone's dead.
That video of Hae-in eating an apple when she was here.
-We should remove it. -It's already taken down.
That's not important right now. There's some news.
What is it?
Uh…
Ah, well, you'll all find out anyway.
So… they've now decided to…
Goodness. What are we going to do?
He's getting divorced, hyung?
Don't you have any cheongsimhwan in there?
-Like we'd carry that. -Cheongsimhwan isn't necessary.
Better for him to calm his mind.
Hey, that's enough.
That's easy for you to say.
I wanted to incorporate Dr. Oh's advice for situations like this.
Episode 58 of My Golden Kids with Nancy Lang.
She says if you wanna overcome life's difficulties,
there are three steps.
-I don't recall any of that. -Okay, first…
Acknowledge it.
Figure out the facts about exactly what the current crisis is.
Have they signed off on it yet?
Uh, I don't think so.
Mmm. Second, self-awareness.
Is your life going badly right now?
Imagine how much worse it could be.
Is the news talking about their divorce?
I don't think so. But sooner or later, they will.
Exactly.
The third thing is, differentiate.
Know what you're willing to sacrifice and what you want and respond accordingly.
Ah.
I'm quitting the election. This is such a mess.
That's it.
-Where are you going? -What's your mom up to?
Oh, she just left earlier. But I don't know where she went.
I mean, did you have to say all this? You know the election is a sore spot.
Sorry. I'm INTP.
YONGDU-RI SUPERMARKET
"INTP."
Gosh, what the hell is he going on about?
That woman knew about it. She knew about it and deceived us.
They filmed a video of her when she wasn't looking
and they posted it online.
Please relax.
As a mom, you must remain calm.
For Hae-in's sake and for yours.
Unni!
What's going on?
Did Hyun-woo really do it?
You are always siding with Hyun-woo, Beom-ja.
What did I tell you?
You have the absolute worst taste when it comes to people.
That's why you get betrayed.
My taste isn't the issue.
If someone purposefully deceives me, there's no way for me to know about it.
But why can't I bring it up?
That girl has been playing us for 20 years!
For someone to do that,
she'd have to be a truly Machiavellian strategist.
If you confront her without hard evidence,
she'll cut ties and you'll end up looking like a fool.
Hang in there. We know she has a son. He must be getting something from her.
Let's find her son first.
Until then, you need to control your temper.
Okay?
I can't imagine how you must be feeling since I don't have children.
I guess the same goes for Moh Seul-hee. Isn't that right?
You don't need kids to empathize.
You should be able to understand that.
Still, divorce is risky.
Times may have changed,
however, the woman is still usually the biggest loser in divorce.
Why are you looking at me?
It's because all of your ex-husbands got remarried immediately,
and yet you're still single.
Oh, what are you talking about?
I also got remarried right away.
But you kept getting divorced right away as well.
Oh, well…
Unni, my marriages aren't the issue.
I'm worried for Hae-in.
Oh, she's already suffered so much.
"She already suffered"?
Is there something else going on with Hae-in?
It's just, she's working so much, that's all.
Too much, I'd say.
She should be talking it easy.
What was that?
Yikes.
Look, I…
You see? I stamped my seal too.
But I decide when and how this will be submitted. Is that clear?
Yes.
Now I get why Auntie made sure
her ex-husbands were all worn down when she got divorced.
And I'm going to use much better attorneys than she did.
You won't even be able to stand.
You'll be face down on the ground when we're done.
All right.
I understand.
I don't want you getting too close with Yoon Eun-sung.
Why do you care?
You were out of touch for a while, and then he suddenly appears?
He got a large investment for Soo-cheol,
and the contract for Hercyna, and he presents it as a gift?
I think he has an agenda.
-He's suspicious. -What are you saying?
After the hunting incident,
I took dashcam footage to a data recovery shop
to get the footage from the SD card.
Yoon Eun-sung visited the shop, and then the shop owner disappeared.
That so? Eun-sung going to that shop isn't evidence of anything, Hyun-woo.
He must have had something to recover too.
And even if he was up to something suspicious,
I'm not easily fooled.
I fooled you though.
I'm saying this to protect you.
I have mushroom porridge for you, Ms. Hong.
-Sound good? -No, thank you.
I'll have steak.
As she walked in, I got blinded by Ms. Hong's diamonds.
As of right now, I'm issuing Peacock One.
-Stay alert, everyone. -Yeah.
"Peacock One"? Sorry, what is that?
Right. You're new here, so you don't know.
-What do you think of Ms. Hong's outfit? -It was pretty.
It was pretty.
Well, yeah.
Now, remember this.
The worse Ms. Hong's mood is, the fancier her outfit.
And if she's dressed like a peacock with her tail feathers high,
then we're dead meat.
Then what do we do?
Our plan is,
we do nothing.
Neither natural disasters nor Ms. Hong's bad mood
can be controlled by humans.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll go print out the documents.
-It's all right. -Uh… sorry?
-What do you mean, "It's all right"? -It's all right. It's not a big deal.
All you did was spill coffee. Don't worry, really. It's fine.
Get to work.
Uh, uh…
Can I ask, are you angry right now?
No, I have something else to be angry about.
My attention is on that.
For example, look at this.
Even something as shitty as this report doesn't anger me at all.
She's scary even when she's not angry.
What on earth is she angry about?
We are from the Audit Team.
We've received a report of abuse over your expenses.
We will now begin an investigation accordingly.
Please stand up.
You may not shred any documents,
or destroy or move anything.
Man, this is a total bloodbath.
Is the Hong-Baek War of Terror on again?
Things are gonna get crazy. Come on, let's go.
-You're denying them all? -Mmm.
-Every single one? -Mmm.
You already confirmed them
-before your Germany trip. -Mm-hmm.
-Ugh, all of them? -Yes, they're all rejected.
This phase of hers usually lasts a week.
True, but this is something else. This is the worst she's been.
What happened to her in Germany?
All right, let's exchange schedules so we can avoid each other.
Huh? Oh, no. We're eating at that sushi place.
We'll take your elevator route and we'll change the reservation.
Okay.
BAEK HYUN-WOO
QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE INC.
"We can now proceed as they have reviewed the toxic clause
for the soon-to-be-closed store."
"The schedule is confirmed as they've already been verbally notified."
"To change the schedule now will cost three times the penalty fee."
"Please approve this so we can proceed. That is all."
His words.
"The Law Department handles penalty fees."
"It's difficult to sign off on this as CEO."
"You need to be proactive about problems we may face and have a plan A, B and C."
"When we proceed with this, include them in the report. Do it again."
Her words.
-She's full of energy. -Sorry?
It's nothing.
We're going to the sushi restaurant at J Hotel, right? Time for lunch.
Ah, how about that Chinese place instead?
Why?
Paying for the whole team might be a bit too expensive.
Ah. It's all right, it's on me.
Things have been tough at work lately.
Let's just go to the Chinese place. The sweet and sour pork is very good.
What's going on? Is there another reason you want to change restaurants?
No. It's just that everyone on the team is dying for some Chinese food.
Secretary Kim is gonna call us
Japanese sympathizers if we say we want sushi.
I bet Ms. Hong will be at the sushi place too.
Mr. Baek is on to him. He's usually crazy about jajangmyeon.
This is gonna be fun. Forget jajangmyeon.
Just give me popcorn and let me watch them fight.
ME TOO ME TOO
The Owl is now headed toward China.
Okay. The Eagle is on her way to elevator A.
The Owl is headed to Building B.
So slow. Elevator B.
No, hang on. Let's just wait a little longer.
Change of plan. We're approaching Building B in three minutes.
Should we take the stairs? You know, I've heard that it's good for your health.
I heard it's bad for your knees.
This is an emergency. Ms. Hong will be here any minute. Help me!
I'm in this group chat too.
Sorry, sir.
The Law Department must be having a team lunch.
Guess you don't have much work to do.
Ah, we're working. We just need some food.
I see. Get back to work after your meal.
I also want a report
on the causes of our repeated lawsuit losses over the past three years
and ways to improve our results.
All right, fine.
But I hope when you read it
that you remain rational instead of getting overly emotional.
Oh, don't worry.
Our work and our personal lives are separate affairs entirely.
That right? I don't know.
The reason you keep losing is probably because you don't know things like that.
Should we take the stairs?
Yes, sir.
Right.
You see the news? NSFA's new biotechnology was altered.
-That's the company our fund invested in. -And your stocks are collateral?
Where else would I be able to get such a large amount of cash?
Director Jo introduced me to a savings bank,
-so I signed a foreclosure. -So did I.
You don't think we'll lose our shares to the bank…
…do you?
Get Director Jo.
Gosh.
I'm sad to see you go. I've grown fond of you.
-You're a real keeper. -I am pretty fond of you too.
Imagine how excited your kids will be when their dad returns home rich.
This is a new phase of life.
It's time for me to give back to the community.
Right.
Statute for financial fraud over 100 million won is 25 years.
You might want to remember that.
-Live a good life and don't get caught. -Of course.
I'm going to stay away from
Korean grocery stores and Korean restaurants.
All right.
Wow, what a total scumbag he is.
After putting your colleagues of 30 years out on the street,
that's all you have to say?
Mmm.
Go on.
That bastard, he better watch out.
SUNGMIN UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
BAEK HYUN-WOO
Hae-in.
Oh.
Sungmin University Medical Center. Get me in there.
Oh, my! Mr. Baek!
How are you doing? How can I help you?
There's something I wanted to ask you.
Do you recognize this watch?
Ah.
Ronde de Frédic's 101st Year Limited Edition.
-Only 101 of those in the world. -Ah.
But it's the preorder product.
You see the yellow diamond here?
Ten preorder products have yellow diamonds at the center of the face.
I know I'm asking for a lot.
Could you get me a list of those ten people who have this?
Even if it's a lot, I owe you
from the time you helped me out with my mother's medical dispute.
I can call the head office in Switzerland. Leave it to me, okay?
Appreciate it.
-Look straight ahead. -I'm making the turn.
-I'm going forward. -Slowly.
-Yes.
Yes.
-Sit up straight. -Right.
-Get into position. -Right.
-Yes. Corner. -All right.
-Smoothly. -Smoothly.
You've cornered well.
Don't get all stiff.
-Is this correct? -Yeah.
You're doing great.
-All right. -That's it!
I can't believe how good you are. You look comfortable.
I don't even need these.
The instructor kept insisting I have them on.
Hmm.
-He's an Asian Games bronze medalist. -Mmm.
The expert knows.
And everyone has them on their first week.
-I'd be speeding by if I took them off. -Mmm.
Watch this.
-Gonna try a little faster. -Okay, careful.
-Slowly, that's it. -Here goes.
-Like this? -Yes, that's right.
Now don't… don't start wobbling. Whoa!
You okay?
-I'm okay. -Oh, my! My son.
Soo-cheol! Oh, my.
Oh, my God! Oh!
You're bleeding.
Oh, what was everyone doing? You should've stopped him.
Stopped me from what?
Can't you see? It's all dirt and cement here.
It's too dangerous to ride a bike here. Get rid of it.
Would you just stop it?!
Skateboarding, bicycles, skiing, roller skating, riding a scooter.
Since I was a boy, you wouldn't let me try any of it.
You wouldn't let me go down the slide if it was too fast.
I wasn't able to do anything.
-I didn't want you to fall, that's all. -Exactly, Mother. You never let me fall.
Yes.
That's because I was trying to protect my son.
Why would I let him fall down?
My son, my Geon-u,
he should at least know how to ride a bicycle.
You're doing all this just 'cause you wanna teach your son
-how to ride a bike? -Yes, my Geon-u.
He'll learn how to ride and ski, roller skates, skateboard, everything.
He's gonna learn all that.
Honestly, if that's what you really want, just get him instructors.
You'll be putting yourself at risk teaching him yourself.
Ugh, no, I am his father! I'll teach him.
Let's start over.
-Oh. Oh! -Yeah.
-You're going to fall. Careful! -Mr. Kim, back the car up.
-Get off! -Mother, let go!
Jeez. Back the car up, hurry. I'm going to crash.
-Hello? -Hello, this is Kevin from Manhattan.
-Yes? -The apartment on the Upper West Side
we spoke about before, the owner decided to sell it.
That's good news.
Then I'll proceed with the deal.
The contract will be closed at the end of this month.
You'll be in the States by then, right? You have to sign the contract yourself.
In two weeks.
I was monitoring Mr. Baek's movements and I found something peculiar.
-What is it? -He keeps calling out
a woman's name in the rooftop garden.
What name?
Yeong-suk.
Yeong-suk?
Yeong--
If you're there, please come out now.
The name is Yeong-suk.
Ah, right.
He keeps saying, "Please come out if you're there."
-And it's-- -Just forget it.
That name's familiar. Yeong-suk.
Sure.
You find anything?
We've kept a very close eye on him 24 hours a day for the past few days,
and we made a record of his movements every hour.
However, his movements were quite unusual.
What's he up to, this guy?
What's this? "Batting cage"?
Yes, you put money in and they give you five balls to swing at.
He went there after work.
-With who? -Alone.
Whoa!
-Wow! -Fine.
Next. What's "Grandma's Handmade Food"?
Grandma's Handmade Food is a diner. He ate there every day.
-With who? -Himself.
I ate there once for research purposes.
Wonderful food. No wonder he would eat there alone.
Why would he have dinner there all alone? That's sad.
It's not like he's homeless.
And yesterday, I noticed he turned in close to midnight.
Ah, yes, that day he had dinner again at Grandma's Handmade Food.
He had some pork, got bottled water at a convenience store
and then went to the elementary school by the house.
Why would he do that? Secret meeting with someone?
-Who was it? -No, he was alone.
-What's at an elementary school? -He ran.
-He ran? -Yes, like how back in school,
they made you run laps after class as punishment?
He runs around the field just like that.
-But why? -Right.
It's not like he's joining the National Sports Festival,
but he was singing and shouting by himself.
Mmm, I was a bit scared.
Want to watch the video?
♪ Don't ask me why I'm leaving ♪
♪ I was ♪
♪ Such a fool ♪
What is going on?
We told you, something's up with him.
On his way home, he met a stray cat in the neighborhood.
He said hello and gave it a snack.
If he doesn't have a mistress, shouldn't he be meeting up with movers and shakers?
Did you really investigate?
I know this may sound like I'm bragging right now,
But I have the information to find people even if they end up in North Korea.
He really does. He's persistent.
Mmm!
The Queens Law Department director is meeting with a cat on the sidewalk?
-Come on. -It's Meow.
-What? -The cat's name.
Well, he kind of rules this area. He's ferocious.
But Mr. Baek named him, so they've got quite close.
I even found an ex-CSI hacker and had him hack into Mr. Baek's phone.
He has lots of pictures of Meow here too.
He's strange, isn't he? Yes, we thought so too.
What kind of a man
takes all these pictures of the woman he wants to divorce?
Oh, and if you look at this one carefully, the angle makes the legs look really long.
You can tell he put a lot of effort into this picture.
-This is love. -Hundred percent.
Um, at the very least, he isn't sleeping around on you.
You don't know that for sure.
You put a tail on him before, haven't you?
You really think he'd start behaving strangely right now?
Guess not.
The numbers will tell me everything.
We'll be done with the audit soon.
They've thoroughly reviewed all his finances.
Everything from the law firm's consultation fee to his litigation costs.
But it all looks spotless. After reviewing it all,
it's amazing he spends so little money.
The only thing he frequently spends money on is the car wash.
-However-- -However?
He did withdraw millions of won in cash from time to time.
-Really? -Yes.
And on the days he withdrew that cash,
he put 300,000 won on his credit card at Moulin Rouge.
Moulin Rouge?
-A club? -Flower shop.
He did the same today too,
and delivered flowers to someone named Kim Min-ji.
Kim Min-ji? A girl?
I suppose.
Ah.
So he went to go meet this Kim Min-ji
with a bouquet of flowers and a wad of cash.
Where is she?
Kim Min-ji. Where is she, huh?
Uh…
KIM MIN-JI GANGJU-GU, SEOUL
DAUGHTERS KIM MIN-JI
CEO HONG HAE-IN OF QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE
Yes. All right. Thank you.
Ms. Hong.
Ms. Hong, I'm…
Ms. Kim Min-ji?
You only need to provide service to customers.
The company's mutual aid association prepares everything.
Yet you still sent flowers separately and donated so much condolence money.
And now you're here.
I don't know how to thank you.
It's okay, it's okay.
I guess Director Baek Hyun-woo
has been sending condolence wreaths in your name all this time.
That's very thoughtful.
-It's not bad, I guess. -What?
Funeral homes all look alike. Yet this one is actually quite beautiful.
Adding in dahlias and tulips instead of just having chrysanthemums
make them look a lot nicer.
Are those angels?
They're rococo. I like it.
They have halogen lamps for the mourners' side.
Over there, they have a spotlight on the portrait.
Um, do you need this place for anything?
Huh?
Well, you're looking at everything quite closely.
I'm just looking.
Oh, interesting.
Haven't been somewhere like this in a while.
The funeral is where we usually go.
We don't see a lot of children crying like that.
Everyone's either talking to their attorneys about inheritance
or to their accountants about paying gift taxes.
Mom.
You're right.
They look like they actually are in mourning.
Why would you send flowers?
And give them money?
You're scheming behind my back. It's despicable.
Even if my memory starts to fade away, I will never forget what you did to me.
This has been the most difficult time in my life.
And you still left.
You won't have the time to ask for my forgiveness.
So no matter what you do going forward,
I will despise you until I'm dead.
So you can… stay put.
I don't want you doing anything.
Just get the hell out when I tell you to.
Yeah.
-You came out fast. -Of course.
What is it?
I'm sorry. I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
That's fine. Add fuel. Go ahead.
What is it?
Did you know, I've gotten really close with Secretary Kim?
We're on the phone just now, wondering, "Are they ever going to reconcile?"
"Let's make sure they don't run into each other."
-You're my secretary-- -It's not just the secretaries.
All of the employees are losing their minds.
They actually prefer how cold you used to be.
There's so many ups and downs these days.
-It's just-- -Enough. Stop it.
I don't want to hear this.
I warned you beforehand.
The best welfare that you could provide all of us
-is the two of you not fighting. -Stop it.
Try going on vacation. Overseas.
Aren't you busy?
Of course. I'm your secretary.
I see you're having dinner with Mr. Yoon.
You've been seeing him a lot.
Isn't it brilliant?
You've avoided making the store split level,
an entry fee and 8%.
It's not bad.
However, why does Hercyna's main store want to hire the employees?
They only want employees 27 and younger.
All right. Why?
They don't want old employees selling their products.
Ridiculous. What's wrong with being old?
Getting older is a blessing.
I think that's what people should be jealous of.
Hermann is a jerk.
Are you backing out of the deal? He accepted most of our conditions.
"Our"?
The conditions you wanted.
That's right.
He accepted those conditions all because you decided to get involved.
So?
What is it you want?
Because I owe you.
You keeping it for later makes me jumpy.
If there's anything I can do for you now, I'll repay you.
-Divorce. -What?
Divorce Baek Hyun-woo.
That's what I want.
He tried to leave you, and for some reason you want to stay together.
I'll decide that.
You're crossing another boundary.
You want to see crossing a boundary?
When his seat's empty…
can I take it?
And that right there is what crossing a boundary looks like.
I'm not hungry.
When I'm in a bad mood,
I tend to not digest well.
He was adopted by a Korean family when he was 12.
The Korean community in America is small.
Someone who grew up in the same neighborhood as him
is a new attorney at my law firm.
They weren't close, but his family was well-known in the neighborhood.
-Why? -Once they adopted Yoon Eun-sung,
his new parents moved into a bigger house.
Yoon Eun-sung entered an expensive private school
called Hillcroft Academy.
School costs over 60,000 per year.
But his adoptive parents weren't rich at all.
Are his adoptive parents available to talk?
I already asked.
They both passed away.
They got into a car accident from drunk driving.
But everyone thought it was strange.
Because neither one of his parents were drinkers.
You can't just show up here.
So how is it? I've kept it vacant all this time.
Just go.
It's just reassuring to have us living in the same house once again.
I said you should go.
-Ms. Moh, you were the one urging caution. -Don't call me that.
It's Mom.
You told me I couldn't call you that so I've held my tongue for so long.
I can't seem to say it out loud anymore.
Yes.
What unbelievable lives we've lived.
Still, I don't regret it.
You don't? Stuck here like a prisoner?
Oh, that's one of our housekeepers. She's been here for a long time.
Ah, not just any housekeeper, she's above the others.
My grandfather relies on her.
There's no need for you to worry about her.
Oh, and over there, that's a…
Oh, it's so salty. I guess Ms. Moh lost her touch.
Why would she season the food like this?
That's why I've been saying… this woman needs to go.
Oh, believe me, she'd already be gone if I had my way.
Eat. The rest is all right.
All right.
How many years have you missed out on?
Thirty or so?
Well, of course.
I wanted to hold my son close, to be a mother to him all those years.
But I would have had to make you seaweed soup without meat
for your birthday.
And barely pay for your uniforms for school,
living dirt-poor like that.
And all I could say was, "We're a family. Just hang on."
"Good days are coming."
Yet those good days would never arrive.
Isn't this house lovely?
Chairman Hong is so meticulous.
He took five years to build this place where others would have built it in one.
There's not a single thing he didn't take care of,
even the rocks in the garden.
And now,
we can push everyone else out.
You and I will soon own it.
No need to think about the past.
We have a new future now, a new destiny.
The people here had everything, and they were happy.
Now, it'll be ours at last.
And we'll have each other.
You make it sound so easy.
We haven't won yet.
Look!
No, we're going now. Kick it. Kick it toward me.
Oh, I wanna do it? It's mine.
Beom-jun, it's going that way.
Hey, kids, come get a drink.
Hey, Mom brought juice.
-Let's go. -Can I eat now?
-Sure. -Can I really eat?
-I surrender! -Hey!
Here, my little fortune cookie.
Are you up?
Goodness,
you're so pretty, my fortune cookie.
Ah.
Hey, Beom-jun! Hey, hey. Be careful, huh?
Yeah, let's get the kids over here.
Just look at him, watching his kids and his wife having fun.
We have to take that from him.
So…
I need us to act right now.
-What is this? -You may use it as you need.
Well, what do I do with this?
Secretary Jang said you're under investigation for your slush fund.
And it's not like you can just send your son or grandson off to prison.
They're too important.
-Okay, so… -I can go.
We'll say I used the scholarship fund as a cover-up for the slush fund.
But you, however, had no idea.
I'm not a family member or an executive of Queens Group.
If I say I did it and I deceived you, it wouldn't affect the Hong family.
Even if the press cover it, I'm the only one who would be criticized.
And I don't have any special honor to protect.
So it doesn't matter to me.
Whether it's the prosecutor's office or jail, I can go.
Don't worry about a thing.
Having ten children…
is nothing compared to you.
Hae-in.
Here.
What are you doing out here in the cold? Where's the car?
Where's your car? Where's Mr. Oh?
You're right.
How did I get here?
This happens a lot these days.
I don't have enough time, but I keep losing it in pieces.
Why are you here? How'd you know where I was?
Was it my umbrella?
You gave this to me a while ago.
I was surprised when you did that.
Hae-in.
Don't give me that look.
I have a 51% chance.
I'll work on getting a treatment in Germany.
Hae-in?
What? What is it?
Oh.
Oh, that's right. You know Ye-na?
She got into a car accident a couple days ago.
She lost consciousness, so they took her to the ER.
They took her to the ER and apparently, her husband came running with an attorney.
And apparently her husband came running with an attorney.
He was trying to get her signatures while she was still alive.
Apparently, Ye-na actually regained consciousness from all the noise.
You all right?
I'm sorry.
What do you mean you're sorry?
Oh.
Are you worried about me?
Don't be afraid.
Baek Hyun-woo.
I love you.
-The name is Yeong-suk. -Just forget it.
-That name's familiar, Yeong-suk. -Sure.
That was a while ago.
He's still looking for her?
QUEENS DEPARTMENT STORE GUIDE MAP
4 YEARS AGO
Hyun-woo, did you know?
I hear there's a raccoon in our garden.
Nah, no way.
What kind of raccoon would live in Seoul?
But I've seen it several times.
-Really? -Mmm.
It'll come out of hiding when there's no one else around.
So it'll come out?
How weird is that?
You… you must think I'm stupid or something.
No, it's the truth.
Her name is Yeong-suk.
I don't believe you.
Don't believe me? Call her name when no one's here.
She doesn't come out every time, though, only when she feels like it.
Nah.
No way.
I don't believe it.
You'll find she's very cute.
You're fooling me again.
No way.
She has round eyes. You'll like her if you see her.
Sorry, but you can't fool me with something like this.
Baek Hyun-woo is an idiot.
How can he still believe that?
Does he believe everything I say or what?
That's why he fell for it when I said I'd make him happy.
How foolish.
Yeong-suk.
Listen, if you're there, please come out.
Yeong-suk?
Yeong-suk!
Please come out, Yeong-suk.
QUEEN OF TEARS
And he ran. Gukbap again. Must be good.
Where would I go without Hae-in?
Get out!
Alumni reunion? Bar? I know what's going on here.
Another woman.
Why are you holding out and humiliating yourself?
Like today is going to be the best day of my life.
Because in the end, I will be the one by her side.
Let her go!
If you ever try harming her, I'll be there to give it right back.
