Sea of the Woman (그 여자의 바다)

Madam Lee.

What are you doing here, Mr. Jang?

What? Oh, I...

Why are you here?

I'm here to...

- Mr. Kim. - Hello.

- Hello. - How is everything?

Everything's fine.

Tell me if you need anything.

I have something to tell you. Could you come with me?

Right now.

Sorry about this.

We need to talk.

What do you need to say, Mr. Jang?

The thing is...

- Hello, sir. - Hello.

See you.

What's wrong, Mr. Jang?

What? Oh, nothing's wrong.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see someone who works here.

Someone you know works here?

Yes. A young man who used to be my tenant works here.

I brought him some food.

Oh, I see.

Are you here on work?

What? Oh, well...

Sorry, but I'm busy right now.

Would you mind if I call you later? I'm really sorry.

I went to Chungil to see you and met someone I know by chance.

At my company?

We were from the same town.

I thought he'd died in the war but he hadn't.

I met him by chance in Incheon...

and we met again today.

I see. You must've been pleased to see him.

I was.

Did you hear the news?

Soo In and Mr. Kim got permission to get married.

I heard. It's great for Soo In.

It is.

Tae Soo, there's something I'd like to ask.

You work at Chungil Flour...

and they supply to Taesan Noodles.

Yes.

Does Chungil Flour's CEO...

know Choi Jeong Wook?

Yes, I believe so.

I see. Then...

do you think Soo In knows that the two men...

know each other?

No, I don't think she does.

Really?

If she'd known, she wouldn't have stayed at Mr. Kim's for that long.

I'll make sure things don't get awkward for her.

You don't need to worry.

Thank you, Tae Soo.

Who's the employee that Madam Lee knows?

It was a close call today,

but she could meet Mr. Kim at any time.

Ms. Oh, what's this?

This?

It's beautiful.

Did that overseer buy it for you?

Yes. Isn't it pretty?

He brought it to the cafe yesterday.

He must be really rich.

It looks really expensive.

It's not. It's a fake.

What? Is it really a fake? Did you have it checked?

There's no point in checking. I've known Mr. Hong for years.

He could never afford a real ruby.

Do you really think he'd give the woman he likes a fake ruby?

Who cares if this is fake as long as he truly loves me?

No, Ms. Oh, I think that's the real deal.

My gut tells me so.

If you don't believe me, have a jeweler check it out.

Forget it.

It's me who makes the fake look real.

I don't need to check.

I have to go. Thanks for the soup.

- Gosh, it's so hot. - Hello.

Were you having lunch?

- I have to go now. - See you.

It's so hot. Can I have some water?

Sure, just a moment.

Hello, Yoon's Soup.

Jung In?

Is Mom there? Can you put her on?

She went to Seoul to see you. Haven't you met her yet?

I see. She left in the morning. She'll be there soon.

Call me back if she doesn't come over.

Okay, bye.

What's wrong? Did she not go to see Jung In?

She left saying she'd visit Jung In. Do you think something happened?

She'd been fine until now. I'm worried.

Did you make the delivery?

Is something wrong?

I have a bad feeling about something.

About what?

My wife. She went to Seoul this morning to visit Jung In.

I think she's lying.

Why would she lie about that?

That's what I think is so strange.

She's been going to Seoul often these days.

What is she doing?

Hang on. This old friend, this Mr. Jang.

Is she seeing him in secret?

She must have another reason.

You wife wouldn't cheat on you.

I know she wouldn't, but you can never be sure.

That's the real deal. My gut tells me so.

If you don't believe me, have a jeweler check it out.

Hello.

Welcome.

Can you check my ring?

See if it's a real jewel or a fake.

Sure.

It's a fake ruby, isn't it?

No, it's the real thing.

What? This is a real ruby?

Yes. It's top quality too.

My goodness...

You made a very tough decision.

Mr. Kim and Soo In will be happy...

and take good care of you. Don't worry.

Hello, Mr. Jang.

Hello, sir.

What is it?

I invited Soo In and Ji Hoon over for dinner.

You should join us.

Too bad. I can't.

Why not? You said this morning that you had no dinner plans.

I did, but something came up last minute.

Why did you make plans without asking me first?

Sorry, Grandma.

I assumed that you'd be free.

Well I'm not today. Count me out.

Okay. We can eat together some other time.

I'll come home after dinner, then.

Okay.

Madam Cho.

As far as I know, you don't have a dinner appointment.

May I ask why you said you did?

I gave permission because I had no choice,

but I don't feel comfortable with the idea just yet.

I see.

I understand how you must feel.

Do we have the campaign funds?

We're gathering investors to come up with the money,

but it won't be enough. Campaigning is expensive business.

What can we do? Do you have an alternative?

I think we must take from the foundation.

The foundation?

Yes. At first I considered bribing the finance team,

but we could get found out before it's cleared.

That's true. What is your plan?

What's this?

A list of orphanages that Chungil Foundation is sponsoring.

They pay out a huge amount to these places every month.

See if any of the orphanage directors...

will cooperate with us.

Do you mean...

you plan to divert the foundation's money elsewhere?

Yes. I need you to find out which directors are willing to help.

See if you can find other orphanages that will join in our scheme.

Are you trying to gather Mr. Jung's campaign funds?

Mr. Nam, since when did you get so curious?

Do not ask questions and just do as I say.

Yes, sir.

Drink this.

Tell me the truth. Where did you go today?

What?

You didn't go to see Jung In.

She called the restaurant and asked for you.

Where were you?

Are you meeting this Mr. Jang?

The old friend from your hometown?

What? No, I'm not.

There's no need to be so startled.

Then what? Are you in touch with your other family?

Are they all alive?

Why would you think that?

If they were alive, why would I tell you they were dead?

I can't make sense of anything.

You go to Seoul often and Jung In said you didn't visit her.

I did see Jung In. I just arrived a little late.

Did you? Are you sure?

Yes. You can ask her if you want.

It's just that...

hearing that you met an old friend...

made me feel a little strange.

What if your previous family suddenly shows up?

I was worried, that's all.

I'm sorry if I got the wrong idea about you.

Don't apologize. I'm sorry for making you worry.

Are you really not hiding anything from me?

I'm not.

Meeting Mr. Jang like that...

did make me feel a little strange.
