THE GOOD BAD MOTHER

- Goodbye, piggies.
- Goodness.

You still feel sad every time
you send them away, don't you?

Of course, I do.

I lived with them and fed them
longer than my husband and kid.

Goodbye.

I'll take good
care of your piglets.

Don't worry about a thing.

I'll get going then.

- One second.
- Yes?

These potatoes are plump and delicious.
Eat them with your kids.

Goodness, you're always so kind.

By the way, how's
your son doing?

- Ready or not!
- Ready or not!

- Rock, paper, scissors, sh**t!
- Rock, paper, scissors, sh**t!

- sh**t!
- sh**t!

All right! I won!

Okay!

Here we go!

Mom!

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER

Are you done?

Yes, it's good as new.

- Goodness.
- It's perfect.

My gosh, you're
such a crafty handyman.

Your family is
skilled with your hands.

You know,

I'm feeling sort of
offended to hear that.

Is it because I have
a delinquent son?

Don't take things that far.

Anyway, I'm relieved
that nobody got hurt.

- Yes.
- This could've been much worse.

Push me.

- Here I go.
- It's smooth.

- This is nice.
- Yes.

They said you'd love it

if I exercised.

Who did?

Goodness.

Goodness, Mommy's little boy
wanted to make her happy.

What a wonderful son.

Of course, he is.

And those clever twins
went after his weakness.

Kids.

How many times do I have to tell you
this is dangerous?

That's not a toy.
That's his legs.

That's not my legs.
It's a wheelchair.

Anyway, don't ever play
around with it again, okay?

It's not for muddy roads, icy roads,
bumpy stony paths, waterways,

rice paddy ridges, banks,

and especially anywhere up high.

Okay?

And it's not for
three people to ride, right?

Of course not!

See?

What about using the rubber
tube as a hula hoop?

What?

Kang-h*.

Goodness, Kang-h*…

Goodness. Hey!

You darned…

little twins!

You rascals!

- Goodness.
- Stop.

Don't do that.

I already talked to them.

Why did you drag
him out and bully him?

We didn't bully him!

We helped him exercise!

How are you going
to help him do that?

Look at him!

And you can't
treat him like that!

He's not your friend!

What? We weren't friends?

I thought we were friends.

You said you were seven!

I am!

The doctor said I'm seven!

Right, Mom?

Beans will grow from your tummy.

Thirty-five.

Repeat after me.

Thirty-five.

That's right.

Kang-h*, you're 35 years old.

But you became a little ill.

So you became
seven for a short while.

I know what that means.

What?

I'm stupid, right?

No! Who said that?

- Who said that to you?
- You did!

What?

You and the doctor said that.

"Simply put, he is…

Simply put, he is…

Stupid?

…stupid."

No, Kang-h*.

I said that
because I didn't know any better.

So here's the thing.

Yes.

Kang-h*,

you went back to your childhood.

Everyone wants
to be young again.

I do too. I want
to go back too.

Because if I could,
I'd be able to change many things.

But nobody in this world
can turn back time.

Yet you did, Kang-h*.

This is

a chance given from above.

A chance to
start all over again.

"A chance given from above"?

Yes, that's right.

So you should be happy.

Don't be sad or devastated.

Be happy.

- Happy?
- Yes.

Your return

makes me feel…

happy.

Happy.

That's right.

Hello.

Squid and mackerel
are extra fresh today.

- What would you like?
- Well…

Are you Sun-young's mother?

- I…
- What is it?

Did that b*tch
run off with your money too?

- Sorry?
- That crazy b*tch!

I can't live like this!

Good grief!

She met this gigolo somewhere

and gave him every
single penny she had.

Then she even took out a private loan
to pay back his gambling debt.

Good grief.

She put up her home, salon,

and even her father's fishing boat
as collateral.

Goodness me.

That darned brat

never even called
me once after that,

then texted me saying
she was going to Los Angeles

or whatever to make money.

Good grief.

All she left was that one message
before she disappeared.

- What do I do?
- I raised her wrong.

Who else is to blame?

You can just take me.

Just take me away!

No.

It must've been
so tough for you.

You're much better
than my daughter.

Just be my daughter!

Mom!

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS WILL BE INITIATED
DUE TO LONG OVERDUE PAYMENTS.

LANDLADY

Hello, ma'am.

Are you really
going to be like this?

I even gave you back
your deposit in advance.

Your rent payments
have been long overdue.

I can't wait any longer.

I'm going to vacate the place if you
don't transfer the money by today.

Well, I…

SEO-JIN, YE-JIN
I MADE THIS BANKBOOK FOR YOU

I WANT TO LET YOU DO
EVERYTHING YOU WANT

YE-JIN, SEO-JIN
GIVE MOM THE POWER TO GO ON

Stay there.

A warm welcome
to Petit Nail, Sillim Branch!

How many years of
experience do you have?

I got certified in school

and worked at the Ewha Branch
for three and a half years.

And I'm joining this branch
because I moved to Sillim-dong.

Welcome.

Your manager told us

you were popular among college girls
for your quick hands and nail arts.

I look forward to
working with you.

Yes, I'll do my best.

- My gosh.
- It's here.

The raw fish here is delicious.

The owner catches
the fish himself.

So this is caught in the wild?

Kang-h*?

No, not kelpfish.
It's rockfish.

Wild rockfish.

A bottle of soju, please.

Mi-joo?

No, not Mi-joo. Soju.

Where have you been, you jerk?

I can't believe you've never called
after moving to Seoul.

I waited for so long.

Why didn't you call first?

I didn't have your number.

Your mom wouldn't
tell me either.

You knew the
school I was attending.

I wanted to look for you.

But I couldn't.

You ruined your
exam because of me.

I couldn't ruin anything more.

Wait.

Did you give up on the bar exam?

I took the first test yesterday.

Isn't it a little too
early to give up?

I see.

Then what are you doing here?

Working a part-time job.

Shouldn't you be
studying every second?

I'm doing this to survive.

I have to make a living too.

What do you mean?
Doesn't your mom help you?

I'm old enough to
look after myself.

But every second counts for you.

If I fail the exam
because of a part-time job,

it means I'm just
not good enough.

Don't worry.

It's a restaurant,
so I get free food,

the lady here sometimes
helps with my laundry,

and on weekends, I
get to go fishing too.

Above all,

I like looking at these fish.

What's great about staring at fish
that are about to die?

Exactly.

They might die any moment now,

but no matter how
painful or scary it is,

they're unable to cry or scream.

I think judicial officers
must be like that.

You hated how your fate was decided
the moment you were born.

I guess you've
changed your mind.

No.

Nothing's changed.

I still hate it,
and it's still a heavy burden.

But I hate this heavy burden so much that
I'll make sure I make it.

That's the revenge for my fate,
which was already decided

the moment I was born.

So, Mi-joo, how are you doing?
How's your job?

Things have never
gone well for me,

and I never had a
reason to be successful.

But from now,
I'm going to do well.

I just found
something I want to do.

You just focus on your studies.

You might be able to pass it
with the top score if you don't work.

Let me invest in you.

I don't have much right now,
so I'll start with myself.

Let me help you
get your revenge.

Thank you for everything.

We never had any kids,

so you were like a son to us.

This is so sad.

Don't be so sad.

He'll study hard
and become a judicial officer.

Come and visit me

when you need to blow off steam.

I'll give you a ride.

Yes, I'll do
that. Thank you.

Future judicial
officer, Kang-h*!

You got this!

Did you talk to them?

Yes, it went well.

- Wait, they'll see us.
- What?

Wait for me!

Focus!

Mi-joo.

Kang-h*, I'll wash these too.

- No! It's okay.
- Let me.

- No!
- There's another one.

PETIT NAIL

Mi-joo.

Yes?

YOU HAVE PASSED
THE 1ST TEST

Really?

My gosh!

BAR EXAM MEAL

Hey. What is that?

YOU HAVE PASSED
THE 2ND TEST

Really?

Gosh, look at those two.

- Oh, my.
- My gosh.

Don't forget your bar exam meal.

- Bye.
- Okay.

- Have a great day.
- Okay!

That looks good.

BAR EXAM MEAL REVIEW
FOUR STARS

THIS PLACE IS GREAT!
ONE LESS STAR FOR ONLY ONE KISS

YOU HAVE PASSED
THE BAR EXAM

You know what?

You saved me twice already.

Once when I choked on candy,

and…

when I got into a
motorcycle accident.

If you save me one more time,

then I'll let you marry me.

- That's weird.
- What?

Why am I punished
for doing something nice?

Punished?

- Come here. What did you say?
- I was joking.

- I'll teach you a lesson!
- No, it was a joke.

- Okay?
- It was a joke.

- Mi-joo.
- Yes?

You should be grateful

to someone who
makes you want to live,

not someone who saved you.

I want to live

a very long time with you.

All right.

I got him.

Okay, you're all set.

I'm sorry for the
trouble every time.

Goodness, do you feel bad?

Then get well soon.

That'll comfort your mom,
you, and all of us.

It's a relief he can go back and forth
instead of staying at the rehab center.

- He's much better, right?
- Yes.

- Here.
- Goodness.

You like abalone
porridge, so I made some.

I also packed water kimchi,

so have a bite
while he exercises.

Don't skip your meals.

You didn't have to.

You didn't have to.

You feel sick in your stomach
because of stress.

You have so much to
look after every day.

And you always eat in a hurry
in the kitchen.

That's why you feel sick!

She's right.

Kang-h* has gotten
much better now,

so you need to relax a little.

You need to relax a little.

- See you later.
- Okay, go on.

Wait!

- Oh, my.
- Wait!

- My gosh.
- My gosh.

Wait.

I was worried that
you might have left already.

Kang-h*, give me your hand.

Here.

Goodness, what's that for?

You'll find a homemade
snack store for pets

near the back
exit of the hospital.

Can you pick up an
Alaskan salmon tart,

ricotta cheese cookies,
and oatmeal dog chews?

- Please get me...
- I knew it.

Go.

Mom, go.

Go on.

Go!

Go.

Just go.

Go!

That's it.

Next, left foot.

Two more steps.
One, two, three.

That's it.

Good.

One more time.

Last one.

- Excuse me.
- Last one.

Excuse me.

Where can I get some
digestive medicine?

- Please follow me.
- Okay.

PHYSICAL THERAPY ROOM

- Bye, Kang-h*.
- Goodbye.

Get some rest.

Mom?

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom…

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Kang-h*.

- Mom!
- Kang-h*.

Mom!

- What's wrong?
- Mom!

Kang-h*, look at me.

- Mom!
- Look at me!

Look at me!

When you don't see me,

where did I say
you could find me?

Pig farm.

Potato field.

And?

Bathroom.

Kitchen.

And? If you don't
see me there?

I should call you.

You're right.

I will

never go anywhere
without you, okay?

- Never.
- Okay.

Okay?

The results of the presidential
preference poll this month showed

Assemblyman Oh Tae-soo
as the leading candidate by 42.5%.

- Yes.
- This shows

many people are showing
their support for your candidacy.

If you do declare
your candidacy,

is there a pledge
you'd like to make?

If I run for the
presidential election,

I will only abide
by one principle.

"Come empty,
return empty."

I, Oh Tae-soo, will
come empty-handed…

ENCOUNTERING A
NEW ERA, A NEW PERSON

…and leave empty-handed.

I see.

That was Assemblyman Oh's principle
when it comes to politics.

If he declares
candidacy, that is.

Let's look forward to seeing
the rise of a new political leader.

This time, I'd like to ask
a casual question.

Who gives you
the most strength when you need…

What did you just say?

You want the money back?

The term was for him to leave
Korea right after the accident.

But Mr. Yang Gu-man
suddenly took his own life,

which led to a
police investigation

and ended up
putting us in danger.

This is a breach of contract.

I already know the hit-and-run accident
and suicide were in the contract.

As soon as I received
a huge amount of money in the bank,

I got a call about
my husband's death.

And the day after that,
I received his suicide note.

It was all written there.

Where he got the money,
who made him do it,

and why he had
to take his own life.

Where is

Mr. Yang's suicide note?

If you lay a finger
on me or my child,

that note will be
sent to the police.

I must save myself too.

All right.

Would you like to
continue watching?

It took me a lot of effort

to find all these.

Do you know that?

Apparently, at the
time of the accident,

Kang-h* was asleep in the car.

How does that make any sense?

He had just cut
ties with his mother,

but managed to sleep
peacefully afterward?

Does this mean
Kang-h* is the worst b*stard in history?

Or did someone slip him

sleeping pills or something?

Oh, right.

The day before the
accident, your daughter

got a prescription
for sleeping pills.

Mr. Song!

Right, I enjoyed your show.

You were eloquent.

"I will come empty-handed
and leave empty-handed."

How wonderful.

Who would watch
that and imagine that

you had your future
son-in-law m*rder*d?

Do you remember

Choi Hae-sik?

Choi… Who?

Back in 1987,

during the urban improvement,

the man who was running
a pig farm in Bongu-dong.

That Choi Hae-sik.

Goodness, I don't even remember
someone I met yesterday.

A man from 30 years ago?
Anyway, what about him?

Do you know how my daughter
came to meet Choi Kang-h*?

My daughter was arrested by him

for carrying ill*gal drugs.

It was odd, so I checked.

But they didn't receive
any order or report

regarding ill*gal drugs.

That's right.

He approached her on purpose.

I'm sure

it was to use my daughter

to eventually approach me.

Choi Kang-h*
already knew everything.

He knew who k*lled his father

thirty years ago.

Who k*lled his father?

He's Choi Hae-sik's son.

Choi Kang-h*.

Exactly.

Who k*lled Choi Kang-h*'s father,
Choi Hae-sik?

Did you k*ll him?

You did.

Oh, my.

Did I k*ll him?

Really?

I didn't know
because there was no evidence.

But isn't this odd?

A kid who wanted to
take revenge on his father's k*ller

came to work for me without hiding that
he is Choi Hae-sik's son?

That's crazy.

Are you saying

you already knew
who Choi Kang-h* was?

Look, Mr. Oh.

Do you really think

I wouldn't have checked
before I took him in

to do the dirtiest
of jobs for me?

She said she'd give me drugs,
but it was a lie!

So…

I k*lled her.

No, Chairman Song.

I didn't hear anything.
Please, sir. Don't k*ll me!

Jung Jong-gu, the defendant and owner of a street
tteokbokki stall,

went to an alley nearby
to return a lipstick

Woo Mi-jeong had left behind,

where he found her dead.

The defendant checked to see
if she was conscious,

then a passerby saw
it and made a report.

He was soon arrested on the scene
by nearby officers.

LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY PERMIT
JIN YOUNG-SOON, CHOI HAE-SIK

This is Prosecutor Choi Kang-h*,
who took charge of the trial.

It's a pleasure.

Hello, I'm Choi Kang-h*

with the Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office.

Your grandson's name will not be mentioned
during the course of this trial.

Prosecutor Choi
will ensure discretion throughout it.

I'm really curious

about your parents who brought you up
to be such a promising prosecutor.

What are your parents like?

So,

what does your father do?

He passed away.

Goodness.

I shouldn't have asked.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

He passed away
before I was born.

I don't have any
memories of him.

He passed away…

even before you were born?

He must have passed away
at a very young age.

What happened?

I heard he took his own life.

Suicide?

Why did he do that?

His farm went
under after a fire,

and he was apparently
under a lot of stress.

I don't know anything more.

Well…

To be frank, I
don't want to know.

To me, my father

is just an irresponsible man

who abandoned his
wife and unborn child.

Anyhow, I'm sorry.

Have a drink with me.

Prosecutor Choi, let
me ask you something.

What's the reason?

- Sorry?
- This trial, I mean.

Are you after money or power?

If I want it,

can you give it to me?

You just saved my grandson.

So why not?

In that case, both.

Man.

You're a man, aren't you?

Mr. So.

Go on.

In return, from now on,

you'll be a part of my family.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

That's enough.

I'll do my best,
Mr. Song. Thank you!

I don't care what
Kang-h* had on his mind

when he approached me.

I don't care if it's
ambition or wrath.

Because his hands
are now also dirty.

All I want to do
is use his talent

and then I'll abandon him.

Goodness, Mr. Son.

What on earth are you doing?
It's been an hour.

It's because my
breathing rhythm is off.

I'm sorry.

This time, I'll
really insert it.

Damn it.

Even fish don't
breathe like that.

Mr. Son.

Are you really a
licensed doctor?

I'm getting a bit anxious.

Goodness.

- Oh, my! What are you doing?
- Kang-h*.

My mom feels anxious.

No, Kang-h*.
That's dangerous. Give it to me.

Are you really licensed?

I really am!
What's with you?

Honey, tell him.

He is.

He would never forge a license.

Although he has forged
his resident registration card before.

- What?
- What?

I did it because I love you!

I thought that was
how I could have you!

You're my woman!

I thought you might not like me
because of our age gap.

Oh, my. Is
that really why?

Did you want me that badly?

Good grief.

How is that relevant right now?

He'll bleed if you stab him.

That'll make me sad.
Do you want me to be sad?

Good boy.

- Good boy.
- Good, Kang-h*.

- Good boy.
- You must've been startled.

- It's okay.
- I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

You can feel that way
if he doesn't seem very trustworthy.

By any chance, do you know

a man named Choi Mun-sik,
who owns a carp farm in Negi-ri?

Hello?

The realtor?

Yes, one second.

Was it Choi Mun-sik?

- Isn't it Yoo Mun-sik?
- Not Lee?

No, he's Choi Mun-sik.

Yes, that huge carp farm in Negi-ri.
Of course, I know.

I've heard of him too.

We know. Go on.

What's with him?

Mr. Son, go on and talk.

Go on and talk, Mr. Son.

Mr. Son…

What's with him?

So that Choi Mun-sik...

I have to go to Seoul tomorrow.

Seoul? What for?

I'm sorry I keep asking you guys
for favors like this.

Don't say that.
We're neighbors.

Don't worry.

We'll give the pigs their meals
and Kang-h* his feed…

We'll make sure Kang-h* has his meal
and the pigs their feed.

Don't worry about a thing.

Okay. Andrea's
got the farm covered,

so please just
look after Kang-h*.

I'll get going then.

Right.

Kang-h*, I'll come back soon

after I get your stuff.

I'll go with you and
come back with you.

Kang-h*.

I told you, didn't I?

The place is really dusty
because people are moving things.

If dust gets into your body,
you'll get sick.

And that'll make me really sad.

Do you want me to be sad?

No.

How soon will you come back?

Around five o'clock.

- Five o'clock.
- Yes.

So be good and do
as they say, okay?

Make sure you
study and exercise.

- Okay.
- Good.

WE'RE ALL JOU-RI FAMILY

I told you, didn't I?

I told you he'd be
doing something stupid.

Why are you here?

I heard Ms. Jin
is coming back at five o'clock.

Yes.

So what time is five o'clock?

We're only seven,
so we can't read the clock,

but I do know that we have
a lot of time to play with him.

- Yes!
- Yes!

No, I can't play today.

I have to study and exercise.

Study? We'll help you.

Exercise?

You know we're experts at that.

- Let's play!
- No! I can't!

- Let's play!
- No! I can't play right now!

No!

I left everything as is
because I thought you would return soon.

But the realtor called and said
your lease has expired.

CHOI KANG-h*
SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

I'm sorry, Kang-h*.

I've always wanted
to visit this place.

And I'm finally here.

Are you taking this painting?

This is…

- Sure.
- Okay.

He had some things here too.

MY SON, JUNG
JONG-GU, IS INNOCENT!

I DENOUNCE
PROSECUTOR CHOI KANG-h*!

He doesn't have a lot here.

I put his personal
belongings in here.

And… Right.

That plant pot is his too.

It looks dead, so you can leave it.
We'll throw it out.

No.

It's not dead.

The stem looks perfectly fine.

I'll take it.

Why didn't anyone water this?

You can't go in there.
Ma'am, please leave.

Please.

Where's Choi
Kang-h*? Where is he?

Woobyeok Group
bought him off, right?

That's why the
case was acquitted!

My daughter is the evidence!

So how is it that the case is dismissed
for lack of evidence?

Ma'am, you can't do this here!

If you don't stop, we'll arrest you
for obstruction of justice.

Come on.

Where is Choi Kang-h*?

Please leave.

Where is he?

Please leave.

What was that
woman talking about?

MY SON, JUNG
JONG-GU, IS INNOCENT!

I DENOUNCE
PROSECUTOR CHOI KANG-h*!

Excuse me.

Why are you doing this?

What did my son do so wrong
for you to do this here?

Are you Prosecutor
Choi Kang-h*'s mother?

Yes, I'm his mother.

If you feel something is unfair,

you should go through the legal process
and get a retrial.

Why on earth are you
condemning my son so harshly?

What's wrong with
you? Give it back!

Give it back!

My son

has a physical disability.

He couldn't even hurt a fly.

Your son knew that,
but he took a bribe from a rich man

and turned my
son into a m*rder*r.

When my husband
asked to hear him out,

he said such harsh things
and made him collapse.

Your son is such
a horrible person.

Why did you give
birth to such scum?

Darn it!

I will make your son pay for it!

I may forget to eat,

but I will not
forget to pray that

your son gets punished and dies!

You got that?

Why should my son get punished?

Your son should be
punished for his crime.

He was bribed?

Why would he? What
more could he want?

Did you see him take it?

If you say anything
of this sort again,

I will make you pay for it.

Understand?

All right.

k*ll me.

Just k*ll me.

k*ll me!

My poor son…

Now, the next one
is a science question.

This insect lives in a flower.

Butterfly.

Wrong.

- Bee.
- Wrong.

What?

Silverfish, cabbage caterpillars,
fleas, and aphids.

Correct!

I was actually talking
about napa cabbage flowers.

Okay, ten points to Lee Seo-jin.

Hey, Ye-jin, that's not right.

He mentioned four.
That means he gets forty points.

Okay. He can
get 40 points.

That could've been bad, right?

Right, sure.

Okay, the next one
is a math question.

Seo-jin had five apples.

But Ye-jin stole three.
How many are left?

Kang-h* was faster.

Simple larceny shall be punished
for up to six years

or by a fine under ten million won
under Article 329 of the Criminal Act.

What's simple larceny?

What?

What's simple larceny?

Catch it!

Oh, no. She's mad.

You should have caught it.

My mom sent it
to us from the US.

You almost lost it!

- The US?
- Yes, the US.

Look.

It's written in English.

"From the US."

Sorry.

Anyway, I'll get really mad
if you miss the ball again.

- Okay.
- All right.

Play ball!

Strike!

Hey, Ye-jin.

- That's a strike?
- Yes.

You're really good at baseball.

Did your dad teach you?

Don't ever mention my dad again,

especially before my grandma.

Why not?

This is a huge secret.

Actually, my dad is…

What? Your dad is
a horrifying b*stard?

I'm sure of it.

My grandma said
that countless times.

But what's a horrifying b*stard?

Tell him.

Do you know what
horrifying means?

It means scary in other words.

So it means our dad
is someone who's really scary.

- I see.
- He's so scary that

my grandma shudders

whenever she mentions him.

I even saw her eyes turn white.

He must be really scary.

So you better behave.

If you don't, we'll tell on you

to our horrible b*stard dad!

Understood?

Yes, ma'am.

Come on. You don't
have to be so polite.

Okay.

All right, let's get
back to baseball.

All right.

No!

- All safe?
- Yes, I'm fine.

I'm talking about the ball!

Is my bouncy ball safe?

No way.

Choi Kang-h*!

How dare you
lose my bouncy ball?

My…

My dad

will come and
teach you a lesson!

Ye-jin, wait!

Seo-jin!

Kang-h* would never do
something like that.

Things like that happen from time to time
when a trial doesn't go well.

Don't worry about it.

No.

Goodness.

Are you all right?

Of course not.
How can I be fine?

What are you doing?

Lady, what do you think?

I'm taking a photo
of the assailant.

What do you mean?

Look how much damage
your beat-up truck caused

to my expensive foreign car.

You hit me from the back.

I don't want to hear it.

I'll settle for 50 million won.

If anything, I
should be saying that!

Forget it. I'll
call the police.

The police? Listen, lady.

Do you really
want to go to prison?

Why would I go to prison?

You should keep
a safe distance when you drive!

Safe distance, my foot.

If you can't drive, you should
just cook for your kids at home

and just online shop
with your husband's money.

Why the heck do these women
have to drive on the road

and get in the
way of a great man?

I don't have a husband
who makes money,

but I still need to feed my kid.

So I drive this smelly truck

- to make money...
- Oh, I see.

So you don't have a husband.

Lady.

I knew it as soon as I saw you.

The way you talk back to me

shows just how
tough your life must be.

My gosh.

How could you be so
brazen and yell at me?

I can't believe this.

Goodness.

Goodness, look at you.

I told her she didn't have to
worry about a thing.

But look at him
now. What do I do?

Goodness.

Darn it!

Those darned twins.

My gosh.

Goodness.

Wait.

Shouldn't he

wash his lower body too?

Right.

Just strip him
naked and wash him.

Just pretend he's
a seven-year-old.

But still, his body
isn't that of a seven-year-old.

Then what do we do?
Do we just leave him covered up in mud?

Then you do it. Think
of him as Sam-sik.

Why would I bathe
that damned kid?

Then I'll do it.

I bathe my husband too.

- Oh, my.
- Sparkling clean.

He gets sulky and refuses to eat

if I don't bathe him.

He's such a whiny baby.

All right. Here we go.

Oh, my.

- It's all right. I'll be gentle.
- Well…

- Hey, she's back.
- Mom!

Mom!

Mom.

May I go out for a moment?

I lost Ye-jin's bouncy ball
while we were playing.

No.

We weren't playing.

We were exercising.

I studied too, Mom.

Silverfish, cabbage
caterpillars, fleas,

and aphids live in a flower.

This flower is actually
a napa cabbage flower.

But I didn't know that.

I have to find that bouncy ball.

She's going to tell her dad.

And their dad is a horrifying b*stard,
so he's really scary.

Mom, please, just once.

It'll only be a
moment. I'll be quick.

Right, why don't we go together?

Why did you live like that?

What's all this?

Did you take money and bribes
and do bad things?

No, right?
Say you didn't.

Say you didn't!

You brought tears and pain

into other people's lives!

Did you think
you'd live a good life?

Did you think you'd be fine?

Look.

Look how you've been punished
for what you've done!

Look!

Look, you punk.

It's all my fault.

I told you to
help those in need.

I told you to save
those who have been wronged.

But I ended up
raising you like this.

I locked you up in a pigsty
and didn't even let you breathe,

telling you to only study!

I wanted to make
you rich and powerful,

but instead, I made you
into a cold-hearted monster!

It's my fault.

- It's my fault!
- Mom.

Mom.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Mom, I was wrong. I
won't do that again.

Mom…

But I really don't
remember, Mom.

Am I a bad person, Mom?

Is that why I was punished?

Was this a punishment from above

and not a chance?

No.

No.

No.

Mom.

Mom, I'm sorry.

No.

No.

All done.

Come over here.

It stinks.

You're right.

That's why you hated
this place so much.

And I also didn't
want to bring you

to such a smelly, dirty place.

But…

there's something
I really want to show you now.

There are two animals
that are useful from their head to toe.

Do you know what they are?

Humans…

and pigs.

Everyone thinks pigs
are dirty and smelly,

but that's not the case.

They not only
do their business in one place,

but they also only
sleep where it's clean.

They bathe often in
mud to cool themselves

and get rid of bugs.

But humans

started to lock them
up in tiny pigsties.

The pigs couldn't
bathe in mud anymore,

so they began to rub their bodies
on their own excrement.

That's how they grew dirtier
and more aggressive.

Isn't that so sad?

It is.

However, what's
really sad is this.

Pigs are unable
to lift their heads,

so they live their entire life
staring at the ground.

There is only one way for a pig
to look up at the sky.

It's…

to fall down.

Fall down?

Yes.

That's right.

Falling down

is a way for you to see another world,
a world you have never seen before,

both for pigs

and people.

We have fallen over right now.

Both Mom and you, Kang-h*.

That's how we got
to see this new world.

A world we've never seen
and we couldn't see before.

A precious world

that we were meant to see.

A precious world.

I'm sorry.

- Hello?
- Hey!

Where are you?

When will you
pay me back…

I'm sorry. Goodness.

Is this it?

- I'm sure of it.
- It's here.

Excuse me.

Lee Mi-joo is here,
right? Where is she?

- Where's Lee Mi-joo?
- What are you doing?

Are you the owner?

- Yes. What's the matter?
- Where's Lee Mi-joo?

That b*tch ran off
with our membership fees.

And that b*tch Baek Sun-young
took two million won from me!

She's not here, so please leave.

- Leave.
- Call the police!

- Look around!
- Okay.

- Stop this.
- I'm not leaving!

- Start looking!
- Stop it!

- Stop it!
- Move aside!

- Move!
- Hey!

There she is.

It's her.

Please give me some more time.

I'll pay you back soon.

So Mi-joo, are
you drinking soju?

It's too early to be drinking.

You must not know.

Soju tastes best
after you get fired.

Right.

I got fired again.

I got fired because
I was too old.

I got fired because
of my bad credit.

I got fired because
of my creditors.

Should I just go back to my kids
and start farming?

Do you think farming's a joke?

Do you know how hard it is?

Do you know what the adequate distance
between rice plants is?

When do you spray sterilizers,

pesticides, and
nutrients for peppers?

Why don't you

just go to the US with me?

Let's go find Sun-young

and that as*h*le who abandoned you
and left for the US.

You should find
him and get alimony.

What do you say?

Do you think we can get a visa?

I have bad credit,
and you're an ex-convict.

You're smart.

How are you?
How's working on a fishing vessel?

Where are you?

Me?

I'm, well, somewhere
in the Pacific.

Goodness, look at
the dolphins jumping.

Can you hear the dolphins?

Yes.

You're far away,
but you have great reception.

It's because my heart
is always by your side.

Anyway, I'm glad
you got your act together.

Do you know why I did that?

Just hang in there.

I'll earn a lot of money

and pay off all of your debt.

But until then,

please remain the Lee Mi-joo
I've always known.

The Mi-joo who
never loses to anybody,

whether it be to a boy,
your dad, or your sisters.

Thanks, Sam-sik.

Take care.

Okay.

I'll call you again.

Bye.

FISHING UNION
COMMUNAL WORKSHOP

Let me know if
you need anything.

- Hurry.
- I need beer.

Sure, coming.

Two large beers.

- A pack of cigarettes.
- Cigarettes.

Blow.

How gross.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

I'm going to go feed the pigs.

Have some snacks
and watch TV, okay?

And if anything happens…

"Remember to call, okay?"

Yes.

I'll be quick.

She didn't say I
couldn't go out.

Right?

What do you mean, plagiarized?

Similar lyrics isn't plagiarism.

Hey, look.

What Na Hoon-a's mother loved
was ripe persimmon,

but what my mother loved
was firm persimmon.

Listen to this.

Gingers grow

Na Hoon-a sang about thinking,
but I'm singing about ginger.

When firm persimmons grow

Hello?

Damn it!

What is that?

Hey.

Who are you?

Hello. I'm Choi Kang-h*.

What is Choi Kang-h* doing here?

Right, well…

I'm looking for
Ye-jin's bouncy ball.

Have you seen it?

It's pink…

and it's this big.

This is so ridiculous.

This is intrusion
upon habitation.

Leave before I report you!

"Criminal Act, Article 319,
Intrusion upon Habitation."

"A person who intrudes upon
one’s residence, guarded building,

structure, ship, or occupied room,
shall be punished

for up to three years
or by a fine under five million won."

But what is an intrusion
upon habitation?

You're just a village
idiot, aren't you?

Get out of here!

Goodbye, then!

But you know,

I'm not an idiot.

I just returned to my childhood.

This is a chance
given from above.

I'll also give you a chance.

You get three seconds

to get lost!

One.

Two.

Wait, darn it.

Three! I challenge
you to a duel!

Where did he…

Did he fall?

Hi, Kang-h*.

Are you looking for something?

Kang-h*!

Kang-h*!

I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH.

Choi Kang-h*!

I'm dead.

Found it.

I found it!

Ye-jin, Seo-jin!
I found it!

I found it!

One, two, three.

I found it.

I can do it. I
can take it down.

Ye-jin! Seo-jin!

Ye-jin! Seo-jin!

Ye-jin! Seo-jin!

Who is it?

THE GOOD BAD MOTHER

Someone I don't know.

But it hurts right here.

And it's something…

you need to do on your own.

If you ever get in my way,

I will not condone it.

I rotted in prison for
months because of you!

Violation of Article 49, Paragraph 1,
Item 10 of the Road Traffic Act.

- He was never my friend.
- Mi-joo?

Mi-joo.

Do you remember her?

Seeing how you came back
with all your stuff,

it looks like
you've come to stay.

I know it wasn't easy for you
to come. Let's live together.

Don't call him.

Don't ever meet him
or play with him again.
