My Mister (Naui Ajusshi / 나의 아저씨)

What sound do flower petals make when they fall?

A nice sound.

I feel so happy, and at peace.

I feel happy for the first time in my life.

You seem like a different person when you're driving.

Yeah.

I am a different person.

What did your grandma say?

It seemed like she was saying something about me.

She was saying that she's thankful for you.

What about your friend?

He'll be coming tomorrow.

You should head inside.

Take a seat here.

You've turned yourself in

and you've agreed to cooperate with the investigation

so you don't need to worry.

I'm sorry.

And I'm thankful.

Why is everyone thanking me?

If I were you guys, I'd hate me.

And I hated you a lot, Lady.

I was so envious of you.

Here you are.

- Yes, thank you. - All right, thank you. Goodbye.

Why the flowers?

It wouldn't do to go empty-handed.

Let's go.

What did Jung Hee say to you when she came by?

She said she was going to start a fire.

Are you here because you're scared of her?

Sheesh.

I didn't want to walk around in this neighborhood.

The neighborhood that made me feel as if I'd committed a crime.

The neighborhood in which

I defied my parents' and siblings' expectations

and cast aside my lover and bride, in an act of betrayal.

Whenever I came to Seoul and passed by this area

it made me feel bad, and I ended up going back.

If I remembered anything about this place

I would banish those thoughts immediately, again and again.

But I should have worked on banishing my feelings of guilt

rather than those thoughts.

I had no idea what I should work on banishing.

I guess I just ended up severing my own head, in a way.

When you ended up becoming a monk...

I was relieved.

I said to myself, "Ah."

"That's one down."

I was always in second place because of you, you know.

When I was watching you get your head shaved, all those years ago...

This thought occurred to me:

"I'm going to lose to this bastard."

"I'll definitely lose to him."

After watching you get your head shaved, I felt scared all of the sudden.

So I rushed off that mountain...

and did my best to life my life diligently.

But I lost.

For sure.

There's no such thing as "winning" or "losing."

Everyone has his or her own life.

There's this one girl who is the most pitiful person in the whole world.

But she...

said that I'm the most pitiful person in the whole world.

I didn't live my life properly.

I lost.

Well, go ahead...

and win now.

I'll be going now.

Welcome!

Just a moment!

We're still getting ready to open for business...

I must be going crazy.

You left when you were a young man

but you're back as a middle-aged guy.

What are you staring at so intently?

I'm just wondering why I couldn't bring myself to come here.

It only takes me an hour and half to come here

so why couldn't I bring myself to come here, for almost 20 years?

I think I couldn't come because there was something weighing on my conscience.

And now...

there's nothing weighing on your conscience?

All this time, I've been hoping

that I was weighing on your conscience.

And lived in misery for all of these years.

So, will you feel absolved from any kind of guilt

no matter what I end up doing now?

Then...

what is left for me to look forward to in life?

Living happily...

and comfortably.

Goodness.

Use this to buy yourself some clothes.

There you go again, Mom!

We can see you, you know!

Even if I'm watching TV right now

my peripheral vision covers 180 degrees!

I gave him some money so he could get himself some clothes!

He can't be wearing the same clothes after his promotion!

But why are you giving him something like that in secret?

It's not like we'd try to stop you.

You only take care of Dong Hoon.

Hey, why aren't you eating?

Hey, don't buy yourself a black suit, though, okay?

I'll buy that for you.

Mom.

Do you think of me as pitiful, too?

Who said that?

It's just that I worry about you more since you're such a quiet kid.

Why are you hanging out here instead of going home?

Oh, I'm waiting for my wife to call me.

Why?

Hey, eat this.

It seems that he only called one person with that phone

because there was only one cell phone number on it.

But, that number...

in Manager Park Dong Hoon's phone...

was saved as "Wife."

That's how I knew

why he was trying to get Manager Park fired.

I agreed to get both Director Park Dong Woon...

and Manager Park Dong Hoon fired...

in exchange for 10 million won per person.

She came to me and said

that she knew why I was trying to get Park Dong Hoon fired.

She was blackmailing me, for money.

And when I didn't give it to her, she said she would get

both Director Park Dong Woon and Manager Park Dong Hoon

fired for me.

And she wanted 10 million won per person.

I didn't even bother to scoff.

I mean, how could she possibly do that?

But then, later on...

she told me that she was the one who screwed Director Park over

and demanded money.

A chill went down my spine.

And I thought, "Wow, she's a very scary person, isn't she?"

"Something terrible will happen to me if I get tangled up with her."

"And if I give her money, I'll get tangled up with her, too."

So I didn't give her any money.

Why didn't you report her back then?

You knew Director Park was treated unfairly, and yet you did nothing.

Because I did something wrong, too.

And I didn't want to fess up to it myself.

How did you know that Director Park Dong Woon

had an important meeting on the day after he drank a lot?

I heard him talking about it with Manager Park Dong Hoon.

How?

I already know everything, so just tell me.

I just need to confirm things.

I installed a wiretap program...

on Manager Park Dong Hoon's phone.

Did Do Joon Young order you to do that?

I'm not crazy! Why would I order her to do that?

It's not like regular civilians like me know anything about things like that.

Do you honestly think that I am capable of doing that?

She did all of that on her own.

She played back the audio from Park Dong Hoon

and threatened me, saying that I would be exposed soon.

She said that you ordered her to continue listening in on Park Dong Hoon.

- For what reason? - To keep tabs on him.

And you even told her to approach him and start an internal scandal with him.

That girl...

I didn't order her to do that.

She actually has feelings for Park Dong Hoon, for real!

Ask her and see if it's true or not.

I mean, you don't have any evidence that Do Joon Young was involved, here!

All the money was in cash.

And you said that all of the audio recordings were stolen!

I've already submitted a request for the call and text records

for the burner phone Do Joon Young used to contact Lee Ji An, so...

I'm telling you, no such cell phone exists!

There is! I know that for a fact.

Why do you keep claiming that you "know" all of these things?

Forget it. Let's just have a formal interview.

Why did you delete the audio recordings that were on your phone?

Because there was stuff about you on them.

The stuff that made Mister suffer most.

Yes, please take a seat here.

The stories that you two are telling are quite different, so...

Sheesh.

Let's take a look, here.

You sure have an interesting way of living your lives, huh?

Tell me the truth.

Did I know what you did to Director Park, or not?

You caused that entire mess

and then you told me that it was your doing, and demanded money from me!

Did I know, or not?

You didn't know.

You heard her, right? I didn't know.

It's not like you had the mental capacity to think of a plan that would work.

Because the only thing you could think of

was using a subcontractor to try to create a bribery scandal.

You sure say whatever the hell you want, don't you?

What huge crime did I commit against you?

You approached me because you needed money

and you wiretapped Park Dong Hoon yourself, acting like you did it for me.

And you had one-sided feelings for him.

You're doing this to me right now

because I put your beloved Park Dong Hoon through a hard time.
