When the Phone Rings (지금 거신 전화는)

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS

Let's go.

MEMORIAL GATE

Chief, I'm sorry. Excuse me for a moment.

Yes, what is it?

This is Yongju Silver Care Hospital.

We can't locate Mr. Na Jin-cheol.

Your number was listed as the emergency contact, so I called you.

Okay, I'll be right there.

What's the matter?

There seems to be an issue with my father-in-law.

Oh, no. Then you should hurry.

Use my official vehicle. They'll get you there quickly and safely.

Oh, dear.

Are you okay?

What?

Why are they coming towards us?

- Did we do something wrong? - No way!

We didn't do anything.

Hello. Thank you for your hard work.

You may leave now.

Pardon?

I'll come to the station to file the report.

I'm sorry, but what's your relationship with her?

We're family.

Excuse me?

She is…

my wife.

Stay here.

- My wife gave this case to me. - He's Paik Sa-eon.

I have a favor to ask.

Yes, please go ahead.

I'll visit as soon as I can to file the report.

In the meantime, please keep our personal information private.

Yes, of course.

We'll ensure strict security.

Thank you.

By the way…

- Don't do it. Don't. - I also have a favor to ask.

I know this isn't the greatest situation,

but may I get a picture with you?

If you keep your promise,

I'll take a picture with you at the station.

I see. Okay.

- Well, then. - Okay, see you again.

Go safely.

Your father's nurse…

has my number.

Anyway, we should move him to a different nursing home.

How could he go so far?

From now on,

you don't have to worry about your father.

I'll take care of it.

You're making sounds.

Hong Hee-joo…

can make sounds.

You look so ugly right now.

I'm not telling you to stop crying.

Cry as much as you want.

One tteokbokki set with gimbap, fish cakes, and sundae with the entrails.

Can I have one?

Come more often!

- Okay? - I'm here!

I'm just happy to see you.

You get prettier by the day.

I was always pretty.

- Are you just getting off work? - My goodness.

We don't have a show today. What brings you here?

Well…

Oh, my.

Don't tell me…

Did you come hoping to run into me?

Come on.

We're visiting a site together in a few days!

I was kidding.

Do you live in Yeouido?

Yeah, it's near the hospital.

Thank you.

Is it…

your birthday today?

- What? - That looks like a feast.

This is one serving for me.

I see.

That day at the French restaurant, it didn't even make a dent in my stomach.

Eat up.

Hey.

Interpreter Hong Hee-joo.

It's her, isn't it?

Your secret crush.

I could just tell that day.

You said you've been through unrequited love like a fan before.

Remember?

Well… I'm curious about something too.

Spokesperson Paik Sa-eon.

Why are you such a big fan of him?

Well…

Me?

I didn't like him at first.

Actually, I was so scared of him.

ON AIR

Are you saying there are no standards to regulate microplastics?

Yes, a bill must be prepared through National Assembly discussions.

That's all that I've prepared.

Then, what could be realistic regulatory measures?

Excuse me?

MICROPLASTIC SWALLOWING THE OCEAN

Well…

First, we should reduce plastic use and use tumblers instead of disposables.

That would be more of an individual effort and a recommendation.

What could be legally prohibited?

Well…

Well…

Anchor Na You-ri?

Aside from just raising the issue,

are there no concrete solutions prepared?

Well… I…

He's breaking in a new recruit again.

She looks like she'll cry.

Thank you for your presentation.

Come in by two o'clock from tomorrow.

You mean, two o'clock in the morning?

If you're to run it by me for review, learn how to write it, and practice,

it's not that early.

You'll teach me yourself?

An anchor isn't a parrot that simply reads off a script.

Plus, for the morning news, you should come in by two to remove facial swelling.

Look at your face now. You look like a soggy steamed bun.

He was scary,

but he was a good colleague who taught me a lot.

But then one day,

he quit his job and got appointed as spokesperson.

He even got married.

- Now it's hard to see him once a year. - Who did he marry?

Sa-eon's family is a famous political family.

His grandfather's a bigwig who's done everything except for the presidency.

His father's a strong presidential candidate.

His relatives are former or current ministers,

prosecutor generals, mayors, lawmakers…

Naturally, he married the daughter of a very influential family.

The eldest daughter of Chairman Hong of Chungwoon Daily News.

Did you just remember what day it is today?

Why a hotel room?

Wash your face. And blow your nose too.

Yes, this is room service.

I need to get it together.

I have to stay focused from now on.

Should we talk now?

Sit down.

Take out your phone.

Because from now on,

I want us to have a conversation.

- Not an interrogation? - It's not an interrogation.

As you know,

someone's been messing with us lately.

Your car, my office,

and even your father's nursing home this time.

I haven't requested a police investigation yet.

But if this continues,

I'll have no other choice.

If you're the victim instead of me, the police will start digging into you.

So before that happens, tell me if you're hiding anything.

I guess there is something.

I could keep pressuring you until I force it out of you, but…

I won't.

I won't do that, Hee-joo.

We're not close enough to interfere

with each other's lives, right?

Leave it at the door.

Eat this and rest. Come down afterward. I'll go first.

You haven't settled from the shock yet.

You know you'll be very tense down there.

Don't overdo it. Just do as I say.

Another glass.

Relax.

What?

Ouch.

Do you have a plan?

It shouldn't just be another regular meal today, right?

Didn't the aides make a plan?

I don't need a grand plan for this.

A disobedient child?

Just beat him until he obeys.

Don't worry.

You're here.

Why are you alone?

Where is she?

She's not feeling well.

Call her.

Did you not hear me?

Bring her here right now.

Let's eat.

I only have an hour to spare.

Didn't you have something to say to me?

Appear on a show?

Yeah.

A special on presidential candidates. Just anyone does it these days.

You know, cooking, dancing, and singing.

Come when we're filming.

Come and sit.

Others bring their sons, daughters-in-law,
