Two Mothers (Cuckoo Nest / Bbeoggoogi Doongji / 뻐꾸기 둥지)

Two Mothers

Why aren't they coming down?

My grandson won't be able to sleep.

Mom, is dinner ready?

Tell them to come for dinner.

They're being an imposition.

This isn't some public display.

Can't they just be patient?

Yeonhui's mother and father

are probably eager to see their grandson.

You should try to understand.

And who should you be thankful to?

Don't forget that I made this all happen.

Okay, okay.

He's so cute.

Yeonhui.

He looks exactly like you as a baby.

Mother-in-law thinks he looks like Byeongguk.

No, he looks exactly like you.

Isn't that right, honey?

Yes, he looks exactly like Yeonhui.

No, I think he looks like me.

Dinner's ready. We should go eat.

Yes, mom. Give Jinwu to me.

Dad, I'm hungry.

- Okay. - Let's go downstairs.

Yeonhui.

I'm happy.

You look happier than you've ever been.

Yes, dad.

Do you still hate me?

Okay.

Thank you.

My baby, Jinwu.

You make me so happy.

But...

I'm not sure if I deserve to be happy.

Go inside. You didn't have to come out.

Father, thank you.

Yes, you're a dad now...

Dad, that's all you talked about during dinner.

Okay then. We're leaving.

Okay.

Bye, dad.

Thank you, Baek Yeonhui.

Thank you. You're sweet.

Let's go inside.

Yes, savor your joy.

I'm going to take that joy away from you.

You think it's your baby?

No, it's mine!

I'm going to get my baby back.

You think the baby belongs to you?

No, it's my baby.

6 years later

Jinwu, come here.

I told you to stay put, not run around.

No.

If you keep this up, you'll be in trouble.

Let him be. He's too young to know better.

You can run around all you want.

But don't go far away.

Make sure you stay close to us.

Why is Yumi so late?

Everyone else came out already.

I keep telling her to get married,

but she decided to study for years instead.

She's a pain in my backside.

But she studied so hard for all those years.

Do you know how much I spent on her studies?

She's like a money vacuum.

Jinwu?

Jinwu?

Why? Is Jinwu gone?

Yes.

Jinwu!

Where did he go?

Jinwu?

Grace Lee

Are you Grace Lee,

New York's assistant manager?

Yes, that's right.

YM sent me. Please follow me.

What's this? Why isn't anyone here?

Mom?

Goodness! Why didn't you come out sooner?

Why'd you hit me?

We're in a crisis!

Jinwu's missing.

- What? - Mother.

You didn't find him?

I can't find him anywhere.

What if someone took Jinwu?

How could you assume such a terrible thing?

Let's look for him carefully.

You go this way, I'll go that way.

Mom, watch my stuff.

We can't lose Jinwu.

Jinwu, my baby.

Jeong Jinwu!

Hey, kid.

Don't cry.

Is this yours?

Oh, it's broken.

Don't cry.

Where's your mom?

Did you lose your mommy?

Mom.

Mom!

Shush.

Handsome boys don't cry.

Get up.

Oh, I remember.

I have a doll that's kind of like this one.

If you promise not to cry, I'll give it to you.

And let's look for your mom together, okay?

Ta-da.

What's your name?

Jeong Jinwu.

How old are you?

I'm six.

Jinwu, you're so smart.

And you speak very well.

Jinwu, shall we look for

your mom together?

- Please wait just a moment. - Yes.

Jinwu!

Jinwu, do you remember me?

I'm your aunt.

Auntie!

That's right.

Where were you?

We were looking all over for you.

He seemed lost

so I was about to ask the staff for help.

Thank you.

Don't get lost next time, okay?

Your mom will worry about you.

Okay.

But what's her name?

I didn't name her yet.

Do you want to name her?

Since she's pretty like my mom,

I'll name her "mommy doll."

Your mom must be very pretty.

Mommy's doll sounds nice.

Well then, Jinwu. Goodbye.

- Bye. - Take care.

Bye.

Let's go.

My baby is probably about that age now.

Jinwu.

Jinwu, where were you?

Are you okay?

If you wander off again,

daddy is going to scold you.

Got it?

Okay then.

Okay. See you later, Jinwu.

Yes?

What about Grace Lee?

I just escorted her to the hotel.

She didn't say much?

Did you tell her about the meeting tomorrow?

Yes, she's busy in the morning

so she'll be here in the afternoon.

Really? Did she seem prickly to you?

No, not really.

She was friendly and kind.

That's a relief.

Please show me my baby.

Bring my baby here!

Can't you show me his face once?

You didn't give birth to that baby.

My daughter-in-law did.

Hello?

Officer Park Yongun?

I was the one who called you from the States.

My name is Lee Hwayeong.

As you requested,

I did go through the case again.

But there was nothing unusual.

Please look through it one more time.

I'm sure there's something you missed.

I'm sorry, officer, for being a nuisance.

It's an old case

and the statute of limitations has run out.

Why do you insist on digging up this case?

Is it because you don't trust the police?

Or is there another reason?

Of course, I understand that you think

you're a victim.

This isn't the first time

I've come across a case like this.

But still,

I'm sure you know

that this case is already closed.

Isn't the person who caused the accident

the real perpetrator?

I know. The famous...
