Your Neighbor's Wife (2013) s01e08 Episode Script

Episode 8

1
Mr. Yang, what do I need to do?
I thought I won this projecton
a clear conscience.
The package deal that we proposedat the
last presentation was a new stance
on the projectthat even the
manufacturers hadn't thought of.
We persuaded the executiveswith
our presentation.
Ms. Chae,
are you trying to teach me?
No, I…
think I won this projectfair and square,
but you're sayingwe still have a problem.,
so I'll step down, no fuss.
Hey,
is being so impudenta
concept your trying out?
How can you be so poised? Don't
you understand what's happening?
You extracted confidential company
materialto prepare for the 2nd presentation,
and the for last presentation
you deliberately leaked different
materialto Mime as bait.
Then, you simply made a slight changein your
approach and came up with a differentiated ad.
If you didn't hand over material to Mime
in the 1st place, none of
this would have happened.
So, you 2 talked aboutall sorts of things!
Are you here to blackmail me?
You want to record this?
I should have known when you flirtedwith
me at the company get-together.
You intentionally wore a short skirt
and sat right next to me, trying
to get something out of me!
Don't think I don't know!
What?
Good thing I didn'tfall for your tricks.
You think I'm so naïvethat I'd lose
my head over you like Sangsik Min
if you came at me?!
You were the onewho made a sexual assault.
What? Sexual assault?!
Hey, then did I get some fun out of it?
You've stayed quiet until now.
Does your doctor husbandknow that
his wife goes around like this
outside of the house?
Hey, Sangsik Min's desk was removed today.
And you
will probably have a comfortable
lifethanks to your doctor husband.
Do you have any ideahow
Sangsik Min got that far?
He endured all sorts of dirty stuff. He barkedif
he was told to bark, and bit when told to bite.
He endured everything to get that
farso he could feed his family!
Such a fool!
Sangsik Min, what a fool you are!
Sorry I'm late.
Oh, no problem.
Thank you.
Sure.
You look…really nice today.
Thank you. I did put in a little effort.
I hope the foodsuits your taste.
It's good.
Good.
I'm burdening you, aren't I?
No, nothing like that.
You really don't remember me?
I recognized youthe minute I saw you.
You did?
I understand if you don't remember.
I never daredeven step on your shadow,
and only watched you from afar.
You'd call thatunrequited love.
Why are you so surprised?
Oh, that's so long ago already.
I'm sure you've had a 1st love, an
unrequited love, when you were young.
The difference with me is…
you had many differentmeanings for me.
Seeing you smilefrom time to time
were dream-like momentsfor
someone who had nothing like me,
and you were my hopewhen I imagined
the 2 of us starting a relationship.
You were my hero whenever you'd goto
extremes, fighting for your patients.
I'm not that big of a person.
At least to me you were.
Oh, thank you.
That's such a nice thing to hear.
But!
Every time I tried
harderto make you like me
it felt as if someone was benton obstructing
me, and the gears just wouldn't fit.
At the time, I simply
concludedthat it was my fate.
That's when I met my husband.
I used to think that lovewas
something I could work at.
How could I not love a man
who fed us 3 meals a
daywithout me having to worry,
let me live in a housewith hot water,
let me raise my kidsas nicely as any other?
But, now that we're pretty well
off, I must be ungrateful.
At some point, I got the
notionthat my life is unhappy.
And that means
something must have gone
wrongat some point.
Some incident blocked my life.
The fountain pen that you use…
Yes.
I gave the same pento someone as a gift.
Of course, I didn't give itin person,
so I'm not sure if it properly reached him.
Happy birthday!
What is it?
Remember my classmate, Songha Chae?
She says it's a birthday gift for you.
Why? Why would she give
something like this to me?
You don't know?
She likes you, loves you, she wants
to marry you! Something like that.
Oh, gee!
Wow, this is expensive.
Uh, you scared me.
You haven't gone home yet?
Yes, I'm a bit late.
Did you checkon my mother-in-law?
Oh, yes.
She's been transferred downto
the general ward today.
Thank youfor all your care.
It's nothing. Just doing my job.
Oh?
I felt that you were giving
usspecial attention.
I'm grateful.
Oh, well…
She's the grandmother of Minkyung's friend. A
little bit of different treatment is called for.
I see, thank you.
Look.
If you don't mind my saying,
I think you'll have to take some
extra carefor the time being.
She got surgery before it was too late,
but her condition is not good.
I see…
It seems her conditionhasn't
been good for quite awhile.
Weren't you aware?
Oh, she's alwaysso reticent.
It seems your wife was aware.
She'd been worried about
it for quite awhile.
That so?
She didn't say anything to me.
She must have kept it
from younot to worry you.
She isn't asleep yet. Go on in and see her.
Dr. Ahn,
do you alwayslook after your
mother-in-law's health?
You're right. That's not
an easy thing to do.
I'm just saying, because Ms. Chae
doesn't seem to be someonewho
pours her heart out.
She seems like someonewho goes it alone
even when things get tough.
Yes…
Well, she is. She has a strong
sense of responsibility too,
but when she's weak,
she's really vulnerable,
so she confers those kinds of
matters with me. No worries.
Oh, good to know…
that she has a weak side.
Yes…
Then, excuse me.
Sure.
Oh, Mother!
Sit, sit.
Oh, what brings youat this late hour?
Sorry, I'm late. I got off work late.
Oh, no no.
You're so busy. No reason
to drop by so often.
How are you feeling?
Oh, I'm good, very good.
I think I could go homepretty soon,
but they're keeping me here.
Stay here until they sayyou can run around,
and don't worry about the hospital fees.
But…
the double occupancy room is a bit much.
I'd feel more comfortable
in a 6-person room.
I wouldn't be comfortable with that.
Oh, how lucky I am
to have a son-in-law like
thiswho provides such luxuries.
Whose son-in-law could be so handsome
and fine? So handsome!
Kyungju is a lucky girl!
Boo!
Hubby!
What's taking so long?
- See you tomorrow!- Yup!
Taeho!
- Brr… It's cold.- Oh, it's cold.
- That arithmetic sequence we learned today
is really hard.- Isn't it? It's hard!
You have to teach meif
I can't figure it out.
You home?
Oh, you're home?
You must be tired.
From tomorrowyou take the car.
No thanks, driving is even more tiring.
I'm going to wash.
Um…
How's your mother and
father'shealth these days/
Why do you ask all of a sudden?
Well, it's just that I
haven'tasked about them lately.
They're alright. Thanks.
Why?
Nothing…
Oh, go on in and wash.
Hon…
Is there really nothing wrong at work?
Yeah, that's what I told you.
I just thought maybeyou
weren't telling me everything
because you didn't want to worry me.
Nothing like that.
Have you alwaysbeen quiet about things?
Because you think I won't beof much help?
Why, all of a sudden? What did I not tell?
You know I'm always chattering
awayabout this and that.
Right. Go on and wash.
Oh!
I just remembered something.
The way we first metwas when
I dropped by your school
and saw you with Sunjang, right?
By coincidence…
Yeah, at the school cafeteria.
Around this time of year, right?
Yeah, you're right, since it was during
the school's fall festival season.
It really was.
After that you gave me a
fountain penas a gift, right?
Huh?
This. Don't you remember this?
I've been using it for 20 years
because it was the 1st gift you gave me.
Oh, that…
You still use that?
Of course.
Throw that out. Why use something
like that for 20 years?
I'll buy you a new one, 1st thing tomorrow.
No thanks.
I like this one. I've gotten used to it.
Your can get used to a new one.
Wash up. You must be tired.
I get depressedeach time I
attend a parents' meeting.
How can a parents' meeting be funwhen
my kid isn't so great in school?
You know grades aren't everything.
Our Narahas her own merits.
You're right. Who knows? Nara
might become a top star someday.
Yeah, studying isn't everything. These
days becoming a star is the best.
In my opinion, Nara will
probably make it big.
She's young, but there's
something about her eyes.
She has the aura of Kim Jimiin her prime.
Wow, you're so much younger than us.
You know Kim Jimi?
I've always had a thingfor older women.
That's so interesting.
You know, guyswho have mother
complexes from their youth…
Professor!
I'm so curious about today.
She just confidentlyinvited
us to her house.
You did all thisby yourself?
I started yesterday and took my time.
Since yesterday?
I couldn't do this in 11 days!
Wow, I never knewyou'd have such a skill.
You haven't tried it yet, though.
I can tell it's delicious,
just by looking at it.
Smells superb!
Smell has acertain effect on people.
The olfactory sense is…
That's enough, honey!
Yes.
Have a seat.
Oh, where are you?
I'm here.
Should we go right in?
- Hello.- Yes…
Ah yes, well…
I drink when it's availableand
don't when it isn't.
Sorry, I'm late.
- Come join us.- What took you so long?!
You're here!
This is fantastic. Are
these ground pine nuts?
Smells so nuttyand so delicious.
Yes, I mixed a bit of peanutswith
the ground pine nuts.
The food is outrageously delicious.
It's like food at ahigh end
Korean Table d'hote restaurant.
I'm glad it suits your taste.
Of course it suits my taste!
I've never had anything like this…
Oh my! This isn't a parents' meeting.
It's a meeting for gourmands!
Help yourself.
Thank you.
Isn't advertising pretty
hard up these days too?
Yes, a bit.
Well, you're really amazing.
They say the worldhas gotten better,
but it's still not easyfor a woman
to carve out her place at work.
And, at a great advertisement
company at that!
Dr. Ahn, you must feel
really secureand proud.
Of course, she's just amazing.
I was really amazedworking
on a recent project
with Ms. Chae.
She is dependable and driven,
but her ideas and approachwere
startlingly refreshing.
This is really good.
How could you thinkof
creating suchv a unique dish
by putting salted Pollack
roeinto this rolled omelet?
Is it alright?
Yes, it simply melts in my mouth.
This is really good.
You did a great job.
You did a great job,
but why did you make so much?
What will you dowith all these leftovers?
Did you collect any attendance fees?
Do it simple. Simple.Vegetable-oriented.
Just run the bath for me.
Are you challenging me?!
How could you think of submitting a petitionto
the board? Are you out of your mind?
I only didwhat I had to do.
You think you're so great?
I'm just a doctor. That's all.
Then what about me?
I'm a bum, not a doctor?
You're acting like a mercenary.
Wha-wha-what?!
The hospital will carry onperfectly
fine without you having to do this,
so I'm asking youto try and reduce the
financial burden of the patients.
Sure, I'll do that.
What happens afterwardis by your choice.
Got it, Ahn Sungyu?!
JN Pharmaceutical's supply
contractalmost made it through
when that great husband of yours
submitted a petition to the board.
It's been suspended! Got it?!
Director Jung even went out of his
wayand met with your husband!
But he goes all out and ruins the deal?!
Director Jung met my husband?
That's right! He knew but
stilldoes something like this?!
That's
his conviction.
I believe there's a reasonwhen
he does something like that.
What?
There's a reasonwhen a doctor
makes such a decision.
Look, Songha Chae!
You seem to be so proud,
pleased, and impressed
to have a doctor for a husband,
but thanks to him several
people will lose their jobs!
Is this how you're going to handle it?
Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang.
It's all my fault.
Please forgive me.
I'll never let this happen again,
and I'll be even more
loyalto you than before.
So, please forgive mejust this once.
I'm truly sorry.
Mr. Min,
It's been really toughmaking it
to department head, hasn't it?
You once told me
that you don't wish for anything special.
All you want is to fulfill your dutiesas
a patriarch and not shame your family.
So, I assumed, this guy will make it.
He'll stick to the job no
matter whatsince all he has
is his wife and kids.
Since he doesn't have an alternative.
But who knew such a variablewould appear?
My word! That woman is brazen.
She asked, so I went out to meet her,
thinking she's goingto surrender easily,
but instead she threatens me.
Sangsik Min, don't do this here.
Why don't you go to that
womanand beg at her feet?
I'm going to entrust you entirelyon
the pharmaceutical supplier case
with Hanjung University Hospital.
Yes.
May I have a quietword with you?
What is it?
Today, I'm seeing youas department
head at JN Pharmaceutical.
Seeing you as a pharmaceutical
company employee
puts me in a very difficult spot.
Yes, I'm well aware.
Yes, well if you're
herebecause of that matter
I have nothing furtherto say.
I beg you.
Please don't do this. You're
really putting me on the spot.
I'm pleading with you.
This is a matter of principle about my job.
If I break that, I'd be breakingthe
beliefs that I've maintained as a doctor.
It's impossibleno matter how you ask.
I'm really sorry. Well then…
I know it's hard for you.
I also know thatnaturally you
have to maintain your principles.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Just this once,
just this once, help me out.
Then, I'll always…
Look…
I'm really, really sorry too
since you're asking meso desperately.
My throat is on the line.
My family's welfareis at stake.
Mr. Min,
I heard that my wife
could get fired toobecause of my decision.
I'm sure you're pretty
awareof the situation
since this has to do withthe
advertisement case,
so I've really given it a lot of thought.
However, this is what I've concluded.
It isn't that I'm not concernedor
being inconsiderate of you.
If something happens to my
wifeat work because of this,
it would hurt me morethan if
I'd have to quit the hospital,
but this is wrong.
And, I believethat my wife will support me
at least as the wifeof a doctor.
Good-bye.
The customer is not available. At
the tone, please leave a message.
It's such a cold day…even dropped his bag…
Wake up! Wake up!
Here's the misses.Mrs. Hong!
Honey, honey, dear!
What happened…What made you drink so much?
Huh? No, it's alright. No need to worry.
Nothing's wrong. Don't worry.
Lend me a hand, please? Help me boost him…
You shouldn't be here, drunk
like thison such a cold night.
Someone calledand told me he
was sitting here drunk, so…
He's had quite a few.
Try holding yourself up, please!
I don't think Mr. Mintold you,
but he's being investigatedby
the audit team.
He's on stand-by for reassignmentuntil
the investigation results are out.
It seems critical, since they've
even removed his desk at work.
To the best of my knowledge, Mr.
Yang was the one to initiate it.
Mrs. Hong,
what a load you've bought.
What is all this?
Don't lay a finger on my things!
Yes, who is it?
Yes, is this Mr. Yang's
housefrom JN Pharmaceutical?
Hello, Mrs. Yang.
What brings you to our house?
I deeply apologizefor
coming without notice,
and I really appreciateyou
taking the time to see me.
That's that, but what brings you here?
I heard that your daughteris
getting married soon
and your in-laws-to-beare an
incredibly affluent family.
I offer you my sincere
congratulations, Mrs. Yang.
Thank you, but your point?
Soon, you'll have to send overthe
wedding food to your in-laws.
It seems everyone buys
themwith money nowadays,
but since they're such
a distinguished family
I thought that perhapsyou'd have
to take more care than ordinary,
so I prepared some for you.
I didn't have time for the beef jerky.
I'm in the middle of making that,
but if you tell me the date and time
I'd like to prepare your daughter's wedding
foodwith the utmost care that I can muster.
Now that you mention it, I've
been worried because the in-laws
are such a distinguished family, and I
couldn't order this from just anywhere.
You'll probably have to
host guests often too.
Shall I prepare food for all that too?
Did the hospital have a place like this?
Yeah.
It's nice.
Have a seat.
Should I start?
Sure.
There's nothing wrongwith JN
Pharmaceutical's drugs, right?
It's true that their drugs are good,
but if they want to get a
higher price than others
they should have done it through regularconsultation
procedures and opinion collecting.
Please don't be obstinate, just this once.
This isn't obstinacy.
I know, it's your beliefs.
I respect you as a doctor.
- Then, for just this case…- For me…
Won't you do it for me?
If it isn't about youselling
your conscience as a doctor
and simply an issue of procedure,
would it be too much to
ask, to do it for me?
I…
Want to stay at the company.
It's so important to me.
I'm sorry.
I never wantedto put such a
burden on your shoulders.
I always complained that I
was working to the bone
for you and the children's sake,
but it turns out
now that I mighthave to quit my job,
I can't imagine doing it.
I love my job the way you're
proudand find meaning as a doctor.
Yes, Mr. Yang?
Your deskwill be back tomorrow.
We'll have to wait and see for the investigation
resultsfor your tasks as department head,
but your assignment
stand-by has been revoked.
What do you mean?
Hey, Sangsik Min.
This isn't the time to be acting like this!
How could you put your family's lifeline at stakeby
doing something like that with a wife like yours?
Your wife is at my house right now.
She's been there all day!
Excuse me?
She accidentally saw you
at the hospital, grovelingto
that woman's husband.
It turns outthat you have a decent wife.
What's all this?!
Mrs. Yang, would you see
if the seasoning is right?
Delicious!
Mrs. Yang, shall I make watery kimchi too?
Nabak kimchi is so refreshing.
I'd love it if you would!
Mr. Yang asks for nabak kimchiseveral
times a day when we have any.
It's easy. I'll make some
with this while I'm at it.
I love my job the way you're
proudand find meaning as a doctor.
Couldn't you do itfor me?
What brings you at this hour?
If you're here with another way to threaten
me, place a petition to the board.
I'll take it.
I don't want to see that face of yours.
Get out!
Um…
I apologize.
The pharmaceutical supplier case
wasn't something I should havefound
fault with to this degree.
I'm sorry.
Eat something bad?
Or did you eat something good
and get your wits back?
Dr. Ahn, didn't have dinner yet, did you?
Is it okay for you to buy
drinks at a place like this?
It's just drink money.
I can't driveif I drink.
You can't drive?
Wow,
then tonight…
I can't call a chauffeur servicebecause
I hate other people touching my car.
I always take a cab. A
luxury cab to be safe.
It costs about 50,000
wonfrom here to my place.
Of course, you planto escort a lady home?
Well, that's elementary, isn't it?
Then, I'll drink.
Oh sure.
Drink, go ahead and drink.
1 more, please!
How did you know…
You didn't have dinner yet, did you?
No, I guess not.
Is there anything you'd like to eat?
Isn't this near that pork cutlet shopyou
used to take me to every now and then?
Ask for something better.
That's good enough for me.
Don't you like it?
Haven't you had dinner yet?
What has kept youfrom
eating until this hour?
Thinking of pork cutlets after all
this timeis making me crave some.
I can carry them.
Their set menu is good.
The one that comes with pork cutlet,
hamburger steak, and even a fish cutlet.
We didn't have that often
because it was expensive.
Come on. I'll get you the set menu.
I've misjudged. I'll simply quit my job.
Don't do it, if it doesn't
suityour principles as a doctor.
Anything else, but this isn't right.
No matter how I nagabout
struggling over money,
I've always been proud of you.
If you can save a person's lifeof
course you should come forward
and if it's unfavorable to a patient,
of course you should oppose.
I apologized to the vice president.
I was being too stubborn, so don't
worry about it. I'll handle it.
Thanks.
We're husband and wife.
I've met my match!
She's completely wiped me outof all
the money I brought for a hotel room.
They're going to flip outif I
ask them to let me sleep over.
Oh yeah, Uncle Sunjang is going up now.
Yup, thanks.
Hey, Songha Chae! Hurry up and
answer your phone, hurry!
Who is it at this hour?
Sunjang, I mean 'Brother'.
Don't take it.
Brainless schmuck!
Hey, Songha Chae! Sis! This is
an emergency! An emergency!
I just saw that woman! I'm certain!
I'm in front of your building right now. You
know the nurse who had a crush on Sungyu?
The fountain pen girl!
That woman lives in your
apartment building!
Your Neighbor's Wife
Why do you let Sunjangstep all over you?
As if he has something on you…
Sungyu, you must not know yet…
Didn't anyone move in recently?
No, it's fine.
You stole a person's destiny?
That woman scares me.
You wouldn't leave our family, would you?
We're going camping.
That's great!
You know that sweaterthat
I used to wear a lot?
Why don't you ride in his car?
If it's true that if someone is
destinedto meet a person, they will…
Just who is he destined to be with?
