Nam-soon?

Mom?

Come here.

Come on.

Nam-soon!

Nam-soon.

Nam-soon?

Mom.

Nam-soon.

Mom…

I'll do it.

To me,

you're still…

only six years old.

Mom.

Yes.

I'm your mom.

Do you remember me?

I don't remember,

but I can feel it.

I can tell you're my mom.

Don't cry.

I grew up perfectly fine and healthy.

The last memory I have of you was when you were five,

so to me,

you'll start off by being six.

Aren't I too big to be considered that age?

I have all my teeth and my feet are huge.

How is your Korean this good?

I studied it.

My mom and dad in Mongolia even paid for classes.

I couldn't be more grateful

to those who raised you.

Let's bring them here immediately.

No.

Mom and Dad need to stay in Mongolia.

They're busy around this time of year shearing sheep.

No.

I must return the favor.

Then…

can you build them a ger ?

A ger ?

As in a tent?

They can have one for leisure purposes.

I'll construct a building for them as well.

FOR LEASE

They can run a rental property business.

The money they earn

will provide a cushy life after retirement.

"Rental property"?

I know what that is. I saw it on a lot of K-dramas.

From here on out,

I will teach you how Korean capitalism works.

- "Capitalism"? - Anyway,

you remember your home address, don't you?

Gers don't have addresses.

You lived at a place that doesn't even have an address?

- Yeah. - A house without an address?

Gang Bong-go, you damn bastard!

"Gang Bong-go, you damn bastard"?

No, don't pick that up.

Don't listen to me swear.

What good would blocking my ears do when I already heard it?

It's all right.

I'm good at swearing anyway.

I learned a lot from movies.

"Fuck off, asshole."

No, please don't say that.

The swearing I picked up from your grandmother

has been etched on my insides.

I don't want to pass that on as my legacy.

Got it. I won't learn any new swear words.

Anyway,

I will return the kindness to all the people

who helped you these past 20 years,

so write down all of their names for me.

Professor Choi's lectures

are just the same as they were last year.

No effort was put in at all.

This is bad.

At this rate, he could get fired after the evaluations.

- I'm worried. - Is it someone you know?

Hardly.

I snuck in after hearing he was an expert on macroeconomics,

but it was a waste of time.

With that kind of approach to microeconomics,

he'd never understand macroeconomics.

You're right.

You have far more experience in a wide range of economic activities.

What would a professor know?

That's the issue.

What good does it do to sit at a desk and study…

Are you hungry?

I'm craving something spicy today.

Why don't we splurge on a meal today?

The bibimbap served in the cafeteria here

is topped with huge fertilized eggs.

Let's just grab a meal in Haengdang-dong.

You'll end up a vagrant if you keep wasting money like that.

There's no need to put it that way.

- That's not what I meant. - This is an announcement.

Han River Metro Trump Square Super-Duper Tower residents

-Mr. Ji Hyun-soo and Ms. No, -That's you.

- please report to the campus back gate. - Should we go?

Allow me to repeat.

I am Gang Nam-soon's mother.

- I see. - Hello.

Did we perhaps do something wrong?

It's 200 million won each in cash.

I suggest you take care of urgent business with it.

Buy yourselves some clothes

and eat proper meals.

You'll stay at the Geumju Hotel tonight.

It's a hotel I own,

so do not decline.

Mr. Choi will drive you there in the evening.

We'll solve your problems one by one, starting with a place to stay.

Please call me directly should any issues pop up.

The fact that you were part of Nam-soon's journey…

of coming back to me…

puts me in your debt.

Anyway,

please be in touch.

This is insane.

Two hundred million won?

It's real!

I don't think it's the day for bibimbap , babe.

Today isn't the day for something spicy either.

First, hold onto the money.

Let's head for the subway lockers.

- Hurry! - The lockers?

No, just leave that.

Goodness!

You're here, my child!

My precious darling.

Look at the fine lady you've become.

You took after me and not your mom.

Look how beautiful you are.

You sweet little thing.

Nam-soon.

I heard you came across a fire today

and saved people at the scene.

Your mom told me.

Look at all the dirt on your face.

Let's go and get you cleaned up in the bathroom.

Wait.

Ms. Jung, can you buy some new clothes for Nam-soon?

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay, let's go.

I'll scrub your back for you.

It reacts to water and dissolves.

After a certain period,

the water evaporates and leaves white powder behind.

This thing is dangerous.

I'm sure this mask…

Just a second.

Hello?

This is Hwang Geum-ju.

Hello.

Did you meet up with Nam-soon?

Yes, thanks to you.

She's with me as we speak.

I see. I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you.

Ms. Gang's luggage is in my possession.

I'll stop by your place to pick it up myself.

Allow me to bring it over.

No.

It's only polite that I come.

All right.

This isn't drugs. I bet it's just dust.

Sir, no! This is more potent than fentanyl.

Rinse your mouth!

- Hurry! - What's the matter?

I think I already swallowed it.

What are you, a child?

How can the leader of a drug task force

just try an unknown substance like that?

I just thought it couldn't possibly be drugs.

You weren't born yesterday.

Nam…

Nam-soon.

Of course.

No wonder…

It was you all along.

We met…

at the photo studio.

Dad?

Yes, I'm your dad.

It's Dad, Nam-soon.

Dad, I'm sorry.

I let go of your hand, didn't I?

No, don't say that.

I'm the one who should apologize.
