MISSING:

FRIDAY:

Hello?

I'm officer KI from

the Western Seoul precinct.

Is this Ms. LEE Ji-sun?

Detention?

They want me there by 1,

what happened, Mr. MIN?

You didn't receive

any mail or calls?

They wouldn't do that

without ample notice.

I dunno,

I don't remember.

- Han-mae!

- Pardon?

My nanny didn't know

this was important.

I don't believe this...

So why haven't you

sent the child yet?

Send her ASAP,

this'll affect the suit.

No! You know she won't

come back once she leaves.

Let's talk about it later,

be here by 11.

Okay, I'll see you soon!

What the hell happened?

Han-mae!

When did this...

Han-mae?

Where did she go?

Hello, Mr. KIM?

Of course he'll show,

he's the star.

Will you be there right?

I'll see you there.

Yes, thank you!

TO DO TODAY:

TEDDY BARE KLINIK

Over half of her salary

is used to pay the nanny,

she received loans

with my client's name

for housing deposit.

Also, during the divorce suit,

LAYU CEO KIM MIN-CHANG

she acted out

under baseless suspicion,

and was advised to receive

psychiatric treatment.

She's a very unstable individual.

Why did you ignore the ruling

and kept the child?

- From the plaintiff's...

- I'm Da-eun's mother.

I'm a hard working mother.

I got a great nanny,

and I can raise her well.

I'm doing my best,

Your Honor!

If you wish to add more,

please submit

a written petition.

You speak very well.

You should be a lawyer.

You'll do well.

If you keep this up,

you'll lose full custody.

I'll never let Da-eun go.

I'll run away with her

if I have to.

So beg to your ex,

to drop the detention,

that's the only way.

You'll have to plea now.

For who?

Da-eun, of course.

So fashionably late!

You're just a contractor!

Know your place!

Ms. LEE?

I'm so sorry, Mr. Kim.

I'll do my best.

See me afterwards.

Won't happen again!

I'm so sorry!

That was the highlight reel

from 'Can We Divorce?'

Let's bring out

the director and cast

for a photo op,

and a short Q&A.

Photo op first.

JANG JIN-HYUK

Please look front side.

HAN-MAE

- Over here!

- To the left please!

Ms. LEE, the boss is

asking for you.

SORRY FOR BEING LATE,

TUCK DA-eUN IN FOR ME

Respiration is dropping!

To the surgery ASAP!

Her temperature dropped,

she'll be okay.

Yes?

Baby, what's up?

Yeah?

When will you come today?

Today's gonna be hard...

You took off so suddenly,

let's spend today together.

- I'll call back later.

- Forget it.

- I'm sorry.

- You're always like this!

Please retract this.

SEOUL DISTRICT COURT

DETENTION NOTICE

I'm begging you.

I can't live without Da-eun.

This is pointless,

talk to my mother.

You're her dad,

and I'm her mother.

You don't want her anyway,

so I should raise her.

Does she know

you're the mother?

What?

She spends more time

with the nanny, doesn't she?

Mother will head over tomorrow,

so hand over the kid willingly.

Don't make this into a thing.

Jin-hyuk!

Jin-hyuk!

Jin-hyuck!

CAN WE DIVORCE?

Thank God, I made it.

HAN-MAE

Whoa, sorry.

Da-eun!

Da-eun!

Han-mae!

Han-mae!

Sir?

Have you seen my child?

The baby?

Well, maybe I did.

What about my nanny?

Did I see her today?

I'm not sure.

Okay.

Ma'am!

She's a bit weird.

The baby was so cute,

so I tried to pinch her cheeks,

then she went berserk!

I felt so embarrassed.

She's not even the mother!

Okay, bye.

Han-mae!

Da-eun!

Who is it?

I'm from #505.

My nanny?

She quit some time ago.

What?

What is it?

The nanny and

my child are gone.

Her phone's off too.

Your nanny introduced me to her,

said she was her niece.

I got her contact info,

would you like that?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

DON'T RING!

BABY IS SLEEPING

Sorry, I didn't see the notice.

Sorry for startling you, baby.

Come in.

Aren't you too young

to be a nanny?

Do you have any experience?

Of course,

she's got plenty.

She loves children so much.

So she's your niece?

Yes, she's my niece.

Almost, almost,

hold on.

That's terrible...

Da-eun...

She's usually mild,

but she got hurt.

How did that happen?

I had a Chinese nanny,

but while I was away,

she did this to her.

How could she

let that happen?

So I fired her,

but now I'm desperate.

She'll do well,

she's good.

Does she talk?

How long have you worked?

4 ears...

You don't speak Korean?

I will run very many.
