High Kick! Episode 57

Are you going to the theater?

What? Yes.

There are only a few days left! You'll probably be late again, right?

Probably.

I can't wait! Good luck!

Hello? Oh, Mr. Lee.

Why are you calling the house line?

Although, I am the only one home.

Shinji? She went to work.

She went to work?

Yes, she's really busy these days. We're counting down until opening night.

I was just about to go jogging.

I've been staying in because it's cold and now my body's all stiff.

Jogging? Should I go with you?

You'll probably fall at least 10 times in the first 100 yards.

It's okay. I'll call you later.

Even if it takes time, you have to wash sweaters by hand.

I know it's hard, but please put a little more care into it, Mother.

How am I supposed to wash these one by one?

Oh, and I saw that the plants look like they're dying.

If you give plants too much water in the winter, it's worse than no water.

I've told you many times. Did you forget?

Fine.

Oh, and Mother.

I told you not to buy instant noodles.

But everyone likes them.

I saw the boys eating them just now.

They should be using their brains, and if they aren't properly nourished...

You should cook for them yourself, then.

If you're worried about the sweaters, you should wash them yourself.

If you're worried about the plants, water them yourself.

And if you're worried about the boys' eating habits, cook for them yourself!

Don't take it out on Mother.

- What? - Hey, come on.

Take it out on her? Minyong, I think you've misunderstood.

I just thought it would be good for her to keep in mind...

Is not really why you're saying that.

Times have changed, but

what kind of daughter-in-law dictates to her mother-in-law like that?

He just gets worse and worse.

Honey. Wake up. Wake up, please!

Why that impudent... I mean, really!

I thought she went to work. What's she doing there?

Comic Books

How is the patient?

Well, the MRI and CT scans show that there isn't serious damage.

Then why hasn't he regained consciousness yet?

Detective Lee!

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Lee. This is Officer Ko Sungyeong.

Oh, yes, hello.

I'm trying to reach Yunho, but I can't get through to him.

Yunho?

He should be at tutoring now. Is something wrong?

Detective Lee finally woke up. Yes.

We need Yunho in order to begin the investigation.

Yes. Oh, will you come here yourself?

Yes, okay.

Detective Lee regained consciousness.

Oh, Shinji? She quit.

Why? What was the reason?

I think it was something personal.

Who is it?

Someone is asking for Shinji.

You should tell them the truth. It wasn't personal.

Tell them she was fired.

What?

She was fired because her personal life was a mess.

Excuse me...

Forget it. I got it.

That creep...

Hello.

Hello.

Hey.

Is he really awake? Thank goodness.

Oh. Aren't you Mrs. Na's son?

Yes. Are you okay now? What a relief.

I feel as if I've come back from the dead. Give me some water.

Okay.

God must have helped you.

Look at how well you've recovered.

Oh. Aren't you Mrs. Na's son?

Yes, I already said I was.

I feel as if I've come back from the dead. Give me some water.

You're holding it.

Aren't you Mrs. Na's son?

What?

I feel as if I've come back from the dead. Give me some water.

Hey. Aren't you Mrs. Na's son?

What? Short-term memory loss?

Yes.

What's that? I think I've heard of it somewhere.

He can't remember anything for more than 10 seconds.

He forgets everything, again and again.

No more than 10 seconds? That's no better than a goldfish...

Pretty much.

The doctor says he should get better soon, but...

But he remembers that he nearly died.

He just repeats that like a broken record.

He can't remember anything from that day or anything in the present.

I thought that stuff only happened in the movies.

Hello?

Oh, yes, Chief. I'm at the hospital now.

Is he sleeping?

He's not yet stable. He'll probably be sleeping often.

Call us if he wakes up.

Okay.

Oh, was I too loud?

No, it's nice. Please, continue.

Would you mind making me a cup of coffee as well?

What? Sure.

- Mother, have some coffee. - Oh, okay.

Oh, you don't like cream, right? I forgot. I'll get you another...

No, it's okay. I'll just have it.

Are you not working today?

What? Oh, yes.

Is something wrong?

I was just surprised.

I think this is the first time you ever asked about me first.

Really? This is good coffee.

Wait a minute. Why is that roughneck being so nice all of a sudden?

Just this morning he was on attack mode.

Something's not right.

What's with you?

What?

You have a favor to ask, don't you?

You're trying to butter me up, aren't you?

Okay, I see what you're trying to do.

You're trying to smooth things over, and then ask the favor.

I don't know what it is, but it won't come easy.

Do you think you can handle this?

Okay.

Isn't this Mrs. Na's son?

What is he doing here? Hey.

Oh, I'm thirsty.

Hey. Isn't this Mrs. Na's son?

What is he doing here? Hey.

Why are you sleeping here?

"I have short-term memory loss." "My memory only lasts 10 seconds."

What? I have short-term memory loss?

This is Mrs. Na's son. Why is he here?

Please, let go. Why are you doing this?

Get out of my sight.

When I said it wasn't the only body, I meant...

"I have short-term memory loss." "My memory only lasts 10 seconds."

- We're home. - Hello.

It's cold out, isn't it?

I'm hungry. When's lunch?

Minho, why do you look so weak? Is it because of Yumi?

She'll come soon enough. Don't worry.

- I guess. - Welcome home, boys.

Wash up and sit down.

- Why? - Why?

Today's lunch is homemade dumpling soup.

Everyone makes their own dumplings. Try to make 10 each.

How about it?

I'll do it. Don't make the kids do it.

Why not, Mother?

It's good for boys to learn how to cook, too.

Everybody, okay?

Yunho, Minho, Beom, okay? Mother, okay, and Minyong...

He doesn't like dumplings.

It's okay, right?

10, you said? That should be easy.

Okay. Everyone wash your hands. I'll get everything ready.

Don't do it. There's no need for you to make dumplings.

I'm bored. I'll give it a try.

Doesn't Uncle Minyong hate doing things like this?

Not only that, I don't think he ever eats dumplings.

Good job, everyone. Keep going.

Yunho's the fastest.

Minyong, what are you doing? You have to keep up.

Go, go, go! Come on, now. Go, go!

Go.

I'm done! I'm first! Me!

Who's first? Minyong?

Yes, I'm first! Hooray!

That's great! Give him a hand!

Thank you. Thank you.

How about we go sing karaoke after lunch?

Karaoke?

A new place opened up nearby.

Let's go, Mother. It will be fun.

Sure, why not?

And you guys? Yunho, okay? Minho, okay, Beom, okay, Minyong...

Okay, right?

Okay.

Everyone, okay. Good. Lunch will be ready in 10 minutes!

You hate singing karaoke. What's with you today?

Well, it's been awhile since I went.

I should go wash my hands.

Uncle Minyong's acting strange, isn't he?

Something's really weird.

It's not like him. He's so agreeable.

Who goes singing in broad daylight?

Wait a minute. Is she doing this on purpose?

Man, it's cold.

He's sleeping.

Mr. Lee? Wake up. We're here.

What? Oh. I must've fallen asleep.

What's all that?

What?

Lee Suna, body, follow, Yumi Someone wrote on you.

- What? - What is all this?

What? What is it?

Someone...

I have to write it down before I forget. Before I forget again.

Where am I?

Detective Lee wrote it! These are clues!

What?

Don't touch it! Hold on, hold on! Hold on, hold on!

Why? What is it?

There's more on his back.

- Take off your shirt. Quick! - What?

Take it off quickly! Carefully, or it'll erase.

What are you doing? Stop it, you freaks!

The winter moon shines on the paulownia tree

Become a small candle in my heart

When you miss me, close your eyes

I want to scream it out,

But I see an image of you

Coming toward me I can't take it anymore

This night, this night...

Uncle Minyong hates harmony.

Really? It seems like he really likes it.

Yes, Chief.

We're taking pictures now.

Detective Lee is still sleeping.

He may be able to solve the case if he looks at what he wrote.

Yes, we'll keep the scene intact.

Man! What's he doing writing on a person's back?

I'm telling you, I really have to go home now!

Just one more minute, okay?

You're saying I can't shower? But you took all those pictures.

It's standard procedure to preserve all evidence.

What am I, an object? What do you mean 'evidence'?

Detective Lee must have written clues on someone's body.

I don't know what it is yet.

Get rid of it before it gets to the investigative team.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

You must be hungry. Let's get dinner, and then talk.

Dinner? What are you going to have?

There's a famous beef soup place nearby. How about it?

Beef soup?

He just left with the police. I can't secure it right now.

Where were you?

- Singing karaoke. - Oh.

- When did you get in? - A little while ago.

We sang our hearts out.

Father, is Junha home?

Not yet.

He's been at the police station all day.

- What is it? - What?

You keep looking at me.

Is there something you have to say?

Oh, yes. Well...

I knew it. It's time now, is it?

I thought you did. What is it?

I... Can we talk in the study?

Sure. Let's see...

Why? What is it?

What is it? Just say it here.

I think Minyong would like privacy.

What is it? I'm curious.

Yes, well...

Yes, what is it?

Well, it's about Shinji.

Shinji?

Yes...

If it has to do with Shinji, is it about her getting fired?

You know?

I'm friends with the director. I heard.

I hear the guy she was seeing spread vicious rumors about her.

Well, if you know, I guess there's no need to explain.

But what does that have to do with you?

Oh, my. You don't still...

I...

Oh, right, right, right.

You don't want me prying into your personal life, right?

I'd better not say anything or you'll get mad. Sorry.

No comment. No comment.

But if you don't say anything, I have no choice but to think what I want.

I can make my own guesses, so you can't get mad about that.

So, what about it?

Yes, well, you see...

Go ahead.

The fired part...

It's partly my fault, so I can't just ignore it.

Really? So?

And I heard that you...

Yes? I what?

You're friends with the director, but you also went to school with the executive producer.

Yes. And?

You know what I'm trying to say.

I really have no idea.

I really don't know. What is it?

- Could... - Could?

You help Shinji...

Help Shinji?

By using your weight as a...

By using my weight as a...?

Using my weight as a what? You didn't finish your question.

Well?

Fa - Fa... - Fa...?

Favor Fa... vor...

A favor?

Oh, my, Minyong. Are you asking me for a favor?

Oh, my. You? I can't believe it.

You? Ask me for a favor?

So you want me to help you out

so that Shinji can be in the musical. Is that right?

Yes.

What a shame.

I don't have enough clout to bring back someone who was fired.

How can I determine who gets to be on the cast?

But, since this is the first time ever that you've asked me for a favor,

I'll give it a try.

Don't get your hopes up, though.

What's with you? What's so funny?

What happened? What did he say?

No, no. It's nothing.

What's with her?

I'm dying of curiosity. Why is she laughing?

What did you talk about that's so funny?

Minyong!

Why is he so pale?

Minyong! What's wrong?

Mom, get out. Get out, get out.

What's wrong?

I don't know. He's vomiting.

Minyong! Open the door!

What's wrong with them? One's vomiting while the other's laughing.

I have to write it down before I forget. Before I forget again.

Wait a minute...

"I have short-term memory loss"

That's right! That man! That man!

Oh, my! Where are you going?

That man! That man!

Mrs. Na's son's back

Why am I here?

You can't walk around like this. Come with me.

Look. Why am I...

Mrs. Na's son's back

Right! That man's back!

- Where is he? - Where are you going?

Why are you out here?

- Come here. Quickly! - What are you doing?

Why are you writing there? They already took pictures!

Wait a minute. Why am I... Oh, right!

Oh, come on!

Those punks!

- Run! - What? Run where?

Where are we going?

What? You said to run!

Why?

How am I supposed to know? You told me to run!

Mrs. Na's son's back

Oh! Let's see your back!

Man!

January 15th, body, wood floor, Busan

It's freezing cold. Come on!

Hold still!

I'm writing down the final clue! Keep it safe!

What? What are you writing?

What's going on?

You have to get this to the Chief.

If I forget again, just go to the Chief!

Go quickly! Run!

Go where? To the police station?

- Run! - Oh, man!

Where am I? Why am I here?

Oh, it's cold.

Did I lose them? What is this?

What in the world is going on?

What am I supposed to do?

Who's chasing me?

Why am I running away?

What the heck did he write on my back?

What the...

Hey! What are you doing?

You need to come with us.

What? Why? Why? What are you doing? I don't know! I don't know anything!

Why are you doing this?

We lost him!

Let me go! Let me go! Help!

That stings! That hurts! That stings! It stings!

Don't do this! Come on!

Lie still for a minute.

Scrub it clean. There's some writing below his armpit.

Stop! Stop! Stop it!

It hurts! It hurts!

Thank you for your cooperation.

Good-bye.

What the...

What did you say?

We just have to wait and see for now.

- Oh. - Oh, no.

A single event can bring you success, right?

A single event can bring you success? That's a great way to look at things.

Focus & Debate?

This is absolute garbage.

What? Cyber Investigative Unit?

I can't go. There's no way.

So who wants to go for me?
