-They're not doing great. -That's right.

-A base hit. -Good.

SUMMER OF 1995

Gosh, don't they know how to toss balls around?

I mean, come on.

Forget it.

What's the point of winning an event game?

This way our pitcher won't strain his shoulders.

Right.

Mom, let's clink our glasses.

Jun, eat up. Isn't it great?

-Eat as much as you want. -Okay.

Here comes the fourth player.

SAMJUNG DEPARTMENT STORE COLLAPSES OVER 100 PEOPLE BURIED IN THE DEBRIS

This is breaking news from the scene of the accident.

Constant sounds of sirens and screams

are heard everywhere at the site.

Everyone who managed to escape the collapse

was covered in blood.

At the moment, the official death toll reached 97,

and the number of the injured reached 922.

Here are the names of the additional victims who have been confirmed dead.

Park Mi-jeong, Kim Cheol-su,

Lee Myeong-hun, Yun Jae-jeong, Kim Jung-bae, Song Eun-jeong,

and one unidentified individual at Hyeonseong Hospital.

There are seven in total.

However, based on the employees and witnesses' statements,

there were at least 100 to 400 people

in basement level one at the time of the collapse,

so the actual death toll...

My mom is

under the collapsed department store.

-I want my coffee. -Yes, ma'am.

Please save my mom's life.

The rescue workers are doing their best.

I told you to wait just a little longer, didn't I?

Trust the rescue workers and eat.

Yes, count on them that they will rescue your mom

and just eat your food.

You haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Come, now.

So, are you enjoying your barbecue?

Yes, I am.

The housekeeper did a very good job.

-Ma'am, can you fix a meal for Kang-- -How do you expect me to eat?

My mom

must be stuck in the dark, without even a sip of water to drink.

I keep thinking about that,

and I just can't eat.

All right. Don't eat if you can't eat.

Don't force yourself.

Even if something about Su-hui comes up,

don't bother to prepare a funeral.

If it becomes public,

it will just be something people would gossip about.

Okay, Mom.

Jun, eat up.

We'll need to collect all of your mom's belongings

and burn them.

If we don't, her soul might not be able

to move on or rest in peace

and linger in this world as a ghost.

She should've just continued to live quietly in Wando.

Why did she come to Seoul?

Ma'am.

What is it?

Please burn these, too.

What is it? Isn't that chocolate?

You used to give up sleep to have chocolate, boy.

Why burn them and not eat them?

I won't have chocolate

ever again.

Why not?

If I eat them,

I'll want to

go back to Wando.

What do you mean?

I want real food.

Please fix me a meal.

Eat slowly. No one's going to steal your food.

You had nothing but water for three days.

If you suddenly gorge yourself like that, you'll get a tummy ache.

After all, I think I'm the one who's lost, Min-seong.

I thought I was going the right way.

EPISODE 9

Will I be able

to find my way again?

First they give me shit, and now they show me love.

Your hand.

Is it this hand?

The one that doesn't listen to you.

Yes.

Have a seat.

How's the rehab?

I'm doing my best.

Thanks to you saving that doctor's wife,

the public has become much more friendly towards us.

The hospice

has become a hotbed of horrible crime,

so even those civic groups and organizations

that were against us shutting it down will be quiet for a while.

Well done.

From now on,

We're going to get rid of that useless hospice

and replace it with the best silver town

for limited members, with a quality

that this country has never seen before.

I want you to be in charge of that place.

I can't trust the others.

If you help me shut down the hospice

and make my long-cherished ambition come true,

I will wholeheartedly trust you

and even pass down Geosung Foundation to you.

Okay?

SON

He's driving me nuts.

He even turned his phone off.

Where the hell is he?

This is an emergency!

Gosh.

HUBBY

DON'T ANSWER

Take it. Why won't you answer it?

Isn't it your wife?

Hey, why are you wearing your sunglasses indoors?

If you're embarrassed that people might recognize you,

just take it off.

They'll stare even more, thinking you're a lunatic.

Gosh, I don't know if this is clean.

What is this? What the...

It's a cockroach!

What the hell?

Can't you tell the difference between a cockroach and a fruit fly?

It's gone now, dig in.

What? Hey.

Did you just dip your spoon you used

into my soup?

What kind of savage are you?

I'm so grossed out.

You know what? Just take it all.

It's been 30 years since we met,

and you just had to pick a restaurant that's as messed up as you.

What's wrong with this place?

Hey, this is a famous restaurant that's been around for 80 years.

My, it's delicious.

By the way, why did you want to see me out of the blue after 30 years?

You didn't even talk to me back in the old days.

Hey, did you talk to me so casually even back in the day?

I'm two years older than you.

Age doesn't really matter once you start working.

You and I started interning at Geosung Hospital

in the same year, you know.

All because you graduated two years late

due to your bad grades.

Watch it, prick.

So, why did you want to see me out of the blue?

Why would such a nobleman like you

need to see this lowborn man?

You see,

I did

a little research on everyone around me.

I came to the think that you were the least fortunate.

So I figured seeing you would comfort me.

What?

It really is comforting.

Even someone like you is moving on with your life,

so why can't I?

You're giving me so much courage.

When I go back,

I'll work very hard.

Hey, let's be honest.

Isn't it rare to meet someone get struck by multiple misfortunes as you did?

You divorced your first wife,

and your second wife died after giving birth

to your son.

Then your only child also--

Stop.

If you don't want this hangover soup,

go to some fancy restaurant that you like

and get yourself a steak or something.

Gosh.

Right. I heard from Sang-sik

that your first wife who had left you for another man

came back with Alzheimer's.

How could she have the audacity to come back?

Is she a salmon or what?

Don't you dare talk about that woman, you asshole!

Gosh, there's no need to get angry.

Goodness.

Cha-young!

Ji-yong.

-Mom! -Ji-hun.

Sharala, you miss him too, right?

I do too.

Ye-sol.

Dr. Lee!

What brings you here?

Are you here with your mom?
