All clear!

(A Hundred Memories)

Watch your step.

Please move a little further inside!

- Be careful. - Stop pushing.

That's enough.

Jong Hee.

That day, I realised...

life really is...

just one moment of timing after another.

"Giant."

(Giant, 10th Anniversary, May 21, 1982)

Do you think Yeong Rye really likes me?

And you two call yourselves best friends.

You don't seem to know your own friend very well.

(Giant, 10th Anniversary, May 21, 1982)

The start of a misfortune that struck without reason...

Hold on.

Oh, no. What do we do?

Someone call for help!

Somebody call an ambulance!

By a single, split-second choice,

the victim of that misfortune could change.

In the midst of countless such moments,

where on earth was our fate...

truly headed?

Weren't you supposed to be covering for Jeong Bun?

Well...

- Koh Yeong Rye. - Yes?

You don't have to fill in for Choi Jeong Bun.

How come?

Hae Ja said she'd take the shift and just got on Bus Five.

I heard her family's struggling.

Guess she's desperate for the money.

She's driven four days straight, and now she wants to go again.

She's something else. Come on, hurry up!

Oh, I see.

Why are you looking in my locker?

Do you need something?

I ran out of lotion.

See? I told you to stock up before you ran out.

I guess we'll have to go into town soon.

Yes.

Here.

(Wonhwa Hospital)

(Episode 6: Timing)

Hello, Cheongah Bus office.

What? An accident?

Yes, right.

Okay, I understand.

What is it?

What accident?

Did they get a flat tire or something?

No, it's not that...

Manager.

Why isn't any more coming out?

It feels like there's still a lot left.

Hey, Yeong Rye.

Yes?

Never mind.

Here, let me try.

Guys! Something terrible has happened!

Hey, Youngest.

Hey, I was trying to take a nap. What's all the commotion?

No, listen!

There was an open-door departure accident at Cheongah Intersection.

"An open-door departure accident?"

Hae Ja was badly hurt.

What?

Hae Ja?

Stop!

Where do you all think you're going?

We heard Hae Ja got hurt. We're going to the hospital.

So you're all just going to go in a big group?

Then who's going to attend all these buses?

The accident already left us short, and our routes are uncovered.

It's a complete nightmare.

Is the schedule all you care about right now?

Someone's been hurt.

I'm the one going to the hospital!

What good will you do there? Pay for her surgery?

Are you going to go into the operating room instead of her?

Then those with a scheduled route will go.

Ok Hui and I don't have a shift, so we'll go.

Yes, please let us go, sir.

We're just so worried about her. Please.

You two, go or don't. Whatever.

Hey now, what's everyone doing out here like this?

Why the long faces? Did something happen?

(Operating Room)

Hae Ja!

Hae Ja.

Excuse me.

She's going to be okay, right?

She just came out of surgery. She needs to remain stable.

We're taking her to the recovery room now.

Hae Ja!

Hae Ja!

The surgery went well, so...

Let's just wait and see.

I can't believe this is happening.

Her leg...

Hae Ja...

Her leg is gone.

Han Jae Pil?

Here.

He...

asked me to give this to you.

I have a full shift that day.

So I didn't even have time anyway.

I'll cover your shift.

Jae Pil's done with his exam today, so we're supposed to meet up.

Come with me.

No, it's fine. I'm just going to go home and rest.

You two go ahead.

(Wonhwa Jaeil Hospital)

We did everything we could to save it.

But the nerves were severed, so amputation was unavoidable.

Hae Ja.

Hey, why are you crying? Don't cry.

I'm not dead.

Hae Ja.

Are you okay?

Doesn't it hurt?

Well...

They said that with the morphine, it should be bearable for now.

But...

If I start getting phantom pains,

they said it might be unbearable.

The nurse said to call her if it hurts.

I'm so sorry, Hae Ja.

If I hadn't bailed on my shift and just come in yesterday,

then this never would've happened.

It's all my fault.

I'm so sorry, Hae Ja.

Forget it. There's no one to blame.

It's my own fault for being greedy and pushing myself too hard.

Anyway, why haven't we heard from the company?

The hospital bill must be huge.

And still not a word from them?

No way.

They'll cover it.

It was a workplace accident.

I'll look into it for you.

Yes, thanks. You know the most about that stuff.

I'm counting on you, Yeong Rye.

What is that supposed to mean?

What do you mean the company's not responsible?

But this was a workplace accident.

How is the company not responsible? Does that make any sense?

Of course, it makes sense.

Why wouldn't it? I mean, to be blunt,

did anyone twist Kwon Hae Ja's arm to take that dispatch?

That happened because she got greedy and insisted on going, right?

It was an accident due to an individual's poor judgment.

Why should the company take the fall for her accident?

Do you think the company is that easy to take advantage of?

- But even so... - Sir.

Hae Ja was just trying to be a diligent worker.

I've cleared it with corporate, so drop it.

My head is killing me.

What do you mean you've cleared it?

Hae Ja lost her leg.

How can you possibly say this is settled?

Gosh, Ms. Koh. You're getting on my nerves today!

It's none of your business.

Why are you getting involved like this?

Let me be blunt.

Because of Kwon Hae Ja,

the dispatch schedule's a mess, and the company's losing a fortune.

We could sue her for damages,

so she should consider herself lucky we haven't.

How frustrating. Seriously.

Watch your mouth. Got it?

That's absurd.

The company isn't responsible?

Who do they think we work so hard for with our own two hands,

cramming people into rusty tin cans they call buses?

Exactly.

They've gone way too far. Those heartless punks.

So what should we do?

Hae Ja.

I heard she doesn't have a penny to her name.

That's why I called this meeting.

I think maybe we...

need to step up and do something.

(Secret meeting in the cafeteria at 1am)

(Cafeteria)

Help yourselves, everyone!

Just eat a little. You don't want to get carsick again.

Everyone.

Thank you all for coming.

What I'm about to say...

concerns our safety and our rights.

I'm sure you've all heard,

but this accident with Kwon Hae Ja...

is something that could happen to any one of us.

They don't even properly inspect the ageing buses.

They pressure us to drive off with the doors still open.

And for any problems that arise from that,

the company pushes all the blame onto us...

and refuses to take any responsibility.

If we let them get away with this injustice,

then the next time something happens,

the company won't be there to protect us either.

That's why...

I think we...

need to stand together.

(Cheongah Bus)

(Stop avoiding responsibility for the open-door departure accident!)

(Guarantee the safety and rights of bus conductors.)

(Compensate and apologise.)

(Unite and rise up.)

(Pay the hospital bills.)

(Cheongah Bus Conductors' Demands)

What do you think you're doing?

(Don't fill your stomachs with blood money.)

(Cheongah Bus must apologise.)

What?

What do you think you're doing right now?

We know there are risks involved in our line of work,

but we have human rights too.

But the company has no intention of protecting them,

not even in the slightest.

Just look at what happened in Hae Ja's accident.

So,

we have no choice but to organise.

Hey, Ms. Koh.

You've got some serious nerve, don't you?

You need to know when to stop.

Who do you think you are, threatening me?

It seems to me you're the one who doesn't get the situation, sir.

Let's use our words.

And keep your hands to yourself.

That's right. Let's talk.

We'll try to handle this as peacefully as we can.

Even a cornered mouse will bite.

And if you step on a worm, it will turn.

And you know what that means?

It means that from now on, we're not taking this lying down.

- Right? - Right.

Have you all collectively lost your minds?

Are you out of your minds?

You're the one out of your mind, sir.

About what happened to Hae Ja...

Until the company accepts blame for it,

we are absolutely not backing down.

Cheongah Bus must guarantee...

the safety and rights of the conductors!

Guarantee them!

- Guarantee them! - Guarantee them!

You make us drive with open doors and then shirk all responsibility!

Wake up!

- Wake up! - Wake up!

Cheongah Bus ignores the rights of its conductors!

Wake up!

- Wake up! - Wake up!

Here!

I came out early just to see her for a moment.

This is as far as we go.

Good grief, what in the world is going on?

Come on, everybody off. Hurry.

Hey, Driver! Why are the buses so far apart?

I've waited over 30 minutes!

- I'll be so late for work! - It's because...

all the conductors are on strike right now.

Take your complaint to the company, not me.

This whole thing is driving me crazy too.

What is this? It's all crumpled up.

Darn it. This is only half a ticket, kid!

- Hey, kid! - No. It's okay, Driver.

- Hey, I... - Where do you think you're going?

Who's going to drive if you run off? Honestly.

- Then hurry up and get on. - Goodness.

- This is so chaotic, seriously. - My hair is a mess now!

Get on, quick. There might not be another one.

- Go on. - Goodness.

Come on.

Gosh.

Okay. All clear!

"All right," my foot. Now I have to do this too?

- Yes, I understand. - Our conductors are on strike.

- We're very sorry. - The buses aren't running.

- Yes, we are extremely sorry. - Of course.

- Sure. - Yes, Cheongah Bus.

- Yes, we do apologise. - I'm so sorry.

It's because the conductors have collectively gone on strike.

We're terribly sorry. We're trying to fix it quickly.

- Look. I get it, but... - We're so sorry.

We're at our wits' end, and you want a note explaining why we're late?

- Yes? - Yes, we're looking into...

Hello?

- Why are you cursing at me? - Hello?

Hello? Why is the connection so bad?

- For goodness' sake. - Yes, we're terribly sorry.

What do we do? If this continues, it'll disrupt our operations...

Quiet! Hurry and unplug all the phones!

- Unplug them? All of them? - All of them!

Where's the person in charge here?

I want to see the person in charge!

- Oh, my gosh! - Oh, my gosh.

Are you in charge?

- Yes, how may I help you? - Don't give me that.

It's because of your darn buses!

I lost out on a huge contract today!

- How will you make this right? - Don't do this!

Let go of me!

How will you make this right?

- Answer me, now! - Sir!

Answer me right now!

- Jong Hee. - Yes?

Stand up for a second.

Sit here. This cushion is thicker.

No, it's okay. You sit.

No, really, I'm fine.

I've got plenty of padding back here.

Koh Yeong Rye.

Yes?

Why are you always the one to give in?

Am I?

You know you are.

Even at meals, you always give me the best dishes.

When the bathroom's crowded, you always let me go first.

And when it comes to our routes,

you always switch with me for the easier one.

And...

Hey.

I'm not like that at all.

The side dishes?

I only gave them to you because they're not my favourite.

And the bathroom? I don't even remember that.

And honestly, with the routes,

you've covered my shifts way more often.

Besides,

I wasn't even going to bring this up, but...

I do have a bit of curve back there, so I've got plenty of cushion.

As if.

No way.

I'm serious!

I get it from my mom.

Where are you going?

To the bathroom.

Oh, my gosh. What do I do?

Oh, gosh. Just a second.

Yes, hello?

Yes, hello?

Well, I'm doing fine,

but may I ask who's calling?

I'm...

I'm Seo Jong Hee. I'm a friend of Jae Pil's.

"Seo Jong Hee?"

Oh, my. Then are you Jae Pil's girlfriend?

- Please hold on a moment. - Honey.

Jae Pil, it's for you!

I'm hungry.

Honey, come to the room. We need to talk.

- About what? - We have something to discuss.

Let's talk in the room.

It's a girl.

Let's go.

Hello?

Hello?

Seo Jong Hee?

Yes, it's me.

What were you up to?

Studying.

I made a big promise to my father, so I'm trying, but it isn't easy.

My fundamentals are pretty weak.

You've got this.

This Saturday...

Do you think...

we could meet?

Yes, of course.

Actually...

I wish I could see you right now.

Okay, then.

Let's meet at the Wonhwa-dong Intersection at 12pm.

Make sure you look sharp, Han Jae Pil.

Got it?

(Demands: Cover the injured bus conductor's medical bill.)

(Bus conductors are people too.)

(People came before buses, not the way around.)

So...

You're determined to continue this, even if you have to camp all night?

Okay.

Fine.

Looks like you want to take this all the way.

I'll give you exactly one day.

Anyone who returns to work by tomorrow...

will face no repercussions.

Anyone who doesn't...

will be fired on the spot. Make no mistake.

I have made my warning clear.

Just...

one day.

Oh, no. What are we going to do?

The company has no intention of meeting our demands.

At this rate,

aren't we all just going to get fired?

Yeong Rye.

I'm sorry,

but I really can't afford to get fired.

I have a lot of younger siblings to support.

I don't think I can be a part of this anymore.

- I'm sorry. - Wait.

I never thought they'd actually fire us.

I'm really sorry.

Hey, wait up!

Guys.

(People came before buses, not the way around.)

This isn't going to work.

We need to figure something out.

Are you going straight home?

Do you want a ride?

- You drove here? - Yes.

My mom went with my dad on his business trip to Australia.

So both of their cars are available.

Yeong Sik!

Hey there, Ugly.

We almost missed each other.

How did you know we were at the library?

She's here for me, not us.

Whatever, you jerk. Stop nitpicking.

Gosh. Here.

Mom said you'd be getting home late from the library today.

Like I mentioned briefly,

the situation at my company is pretty urgent.

Yeong Sik.

I mean...

We really need your help.

So, the company is refusing to accept blame for the accident,

and if you continue the strike, they'll fire everyone.

They're basically threatening you, right?

That company has no class.

If they were injured on the job, that's a clear workers' comp case.

If you let this slide now,

this kind of thing will just keep happening.

In conditions this poor, open-door departure accidents...

are just going to keep happening.

I understand where you're coming from,

but there's a legal process for strikes, you know?

Your strike didn't go through a cooling-off period,

so technically, it is illegal.

Even so,

the fact that the company hasn't reported you...

means they're not so clean either.

Like you said, Yeong Rye,

the company's position was to never negotiate in the first place.

As for them threatening to fire you,

I think that was just a bluff to scare you all.

"A bluff?"

The Constitution guarantees three basic labour rights.

These three rights protect your right to pursue happiness.

They're your fundamental rights as workers.

So that means, under the Constitution's Article 33,

you have the right to make legitimate demands.

Well, it gets a little complicated if you get into the details.

So, you're saying...

Even if we keep holding out,

the company can't just fire us whenever they want, right?

Bingo.

That's all I needed to hear.

That's the answer I was hoping for.

That said, if the stand-off drags on, you'll lose your advantage.

The company will do whatever it can to find replacement workers...

and keep the buses running.

You'll all get exhausted,

and eventually, more people will start to drop out.

Then what do we do?

If we stop now,

it'll be worse than if we never started at all.

And what about Hae Ja's hospital bills?

You're right.

This is a really tough situation.

But in a situation like this,

there is one way to make the company back down.

Okay, get home safe.

I'll drop Yeong Rye off. I have an errand over there anyway.

- Let's go. - Really?

Thank you, Hyeon.

Well, I'll get going, then.

Bye.

I thought you said you were giving me a ride.

Goodness.

Gosh. You've got some serious guts, Ugly.

Why did you decide to take the lead on something like that?

That's not something just anyone can do.

You're tougher than you look.

Goodness. You must've been exhausted.

What?

You're awake?

Talk about perfect timing. We just got here.

Really?

It feels like it's been well over an hour.

There was an accident,

so we were stuck in traffic for a while.

Maybe that's why you slept so soundly.

Lucky you, Ugly.

Thank you, Hyeon.

I had such a comfortable ride, thanks to you.

Yes, it sure looked like you were comfortable.

You were even snoring.

What? I was?

No, I'm just kidding.

Fighting for your cause is vital, but take care of yourself.

And remember what I told you earlier.

Bye. Drive safely.

Okay, hurry inside. Your friends must be waiting.

- Hey, Hyeon. - Yes?

Have I ever told you this?

That you remind me of Daddy-Long-Legs.

"Daddy-Long-Legs?"

In the book "Daddy-Long-Legs,"

when the main character is at the lowest point in her life,

the one who gives her strength and supports her...

is her Daddy-Long-Legs.

And that's who you are to me.

Great. Happy now that you've turned me into an old man?

Go on, get inside.

Daddy-Long-Legs?

Not bad, I guess.

I guess I should've been a bit taller.

Thank you.

I've asked you to come by my office, but you never showed up.

My goodness, what brings you here so late at night?

I was just in the neighbourhood.

Are you here for some career advice?

I heard your sister wants you to study abroad.

She's hoping you'll take over the company.

I'm still thinking about it.

Becoming a judge or prosecutor and deciding who's right or wrong...

is a little daunting.

- But that's not why I'm here. - Yes.

Uncle.

You said you have a close friend at the Dongseong Daily, right?

(Cheongah Bus)

(A bus conductor was injured on shift!)

(People came before buses, not the way around.)

(Chungah Bus is dodging the open-door departure accident.)

(Guarantee the safety of bus conductors.)

Wait! Stop them! Don't let them in!

- Stop them! What are you doing? - Everybody, get up!

- No! - You can't just barge in like this!

- Stop them! - You can't do this.

- Manager, over here! - What?

What is wrong with you people? This is completely out of line!

Yes!

I mean, without any prior notice or an official request...

What story? What is there to even report?

It's about the bus accident with the open doors.

We heard a conflict arose between the conductors and the company,

and that they're on strike now.

First, we'd like to cover the strike and interview a conductor.

Then we'll get the company's side of the story as well.

The company has no comment. Got it?

I'm telling you, this isn't even newsworthy.

They're blaming us for an accident that was their own fault.

What do you expect us to do?

That's exactly what we're here to investigate.

We need to hear from both sides, don't you think?

We already have someone to interview from the conductors' side.

Ms. Koh Yeong Rye.

What?

Koh Yeong Rye?

I'm Koh Yeong Rye!

I am Koh Yeong Rye.

Where should we do the interview?

First, let's get some shots of the conductors on strike here.

We'd like to do the interview with the protest in the background.

Okay, let's hurry and start filming here.

- Yes. - Stop! What are you filming?

What are you filming?

I don't know who tipped them off,

but Dongseong Daily found out and came running.

If that kind of story gets out in the press,

it's going to look bad for us.

Yes, I understand.

Yes. I'll do that.

Seriously.

What'd they say?

Honestly.

So?

What did headquarters say?

What did they say?

You guys won.

Kwon Hae Ja's hospital bills...

and her severance pay.

Headquarters has agreed to pay for it all.

So, break it up now!

Do it.

What?

We're done!

We won!

We won.

- We won! - We won!

Everyone! This is all thanks to our Koh Yeong Rye!

- Koh Yeong Rye! - Koh Yeong Rye!

- Koh Yeong Rye! - Koh Yeong Rye!

- Koh Yeong Rye! - Koh Yeong Rye!

So...

The hospital bills are taken care of,

and I'm getting compensation?

Yes, Hae Ja.

Honestly...

When I first heard what happened,

I thought this was the end of the line for me.

The company abandoned me.

I had no idea how to handle this situation.

I'm so glad everything worked out, Hae Ja.

This time, though,

Yeong Rye really worked so hard.

It wasn't just me.

It was only possible because everyone stuck together.

If I had done it alone, I wouldn't have stood a chance.

Thank you, Koh Yeong Rye.

And all the rest of you, too.

To be honest,

as your dorm leader all this time,

I always just did whatever I wanted and bossed you all around.

I was so mean.

And yet,

you still did all this for me.

Well, you did have your moments.

What? Why the sudden respect?

What happened to insisting that we were the same age?

Now that...

all our worries are over,

and only good things are ahead.

So just focus on your treatment, Hae Ja.

Yes, I will.

I'm going to start physical therapy first thing tomorrow.

My therapist...

turns out he's super handsome.

I'm planning to make my move.

Seriously? At a time like this?

Now that sounds like our Hae Ja.

Oh, right. There's more news.

It's about Driver Kim.

They say he's going to Dongjin Bus.

Wait. Driver Kim?

Which Driver Kim?

What do you mean, "which Driver Kim?"

That womanizer, Driver Kim, of course.

Unbelievable.

I wonder what kind of trouble he'll stir up at Dongjin Bus.

What are you talking about? Can you explain?

So it's true that you're going to Dongjin Bus?

But why so suddenly?

Without even saying a word to me.

Well, it wasn't exactly sudden.

There's been talk about it for a while.

This is nice.

This ssanghwa tea is really good.

We should start coming here from now on, right?

Then what about us?

What's going to happen to us?

Us?

What's the big deal?

Just because I'm going to Dongjin Bus doesn't mean we can't meet.

We can meet on my days off.

And we can still run into each other now and then.

You won't try to see me.

Not me, anyway.

You're just done with me, right?

What?

You'll just hit on the conductors there.

A leopard can't change its spots.

You think a womanizer is going to stop playing his games?

How can you say that to me?

Are you calling me a womanizer right now?

There's nothing more to say.

I'm going to...

give you one last piece of advice.

Stop living such a sleazy life.

- You'll get what's coming to you. - Jeong Bun.

Jeong Bun, why the foul language?

If you're going to be like this, I can't see you anymore, Jeong Bun.

I'm the one who's done. I won't see you.

Darn it, I should just sew that mouth of yours shut.

You've got some nerve.

Get your life straight, you hear?

If you make others cry,

you'll shed tears of blood.

Womanizer, my foot.

It's good to see you, Seo Jong Hee.

It's been way too long, hasn't it?

Tell me about it. It has been a while.

It's been a whirlwind at the company these past few days.

- We even went on strike. - Really?

So that's why the buses weren't running.

- How about now? - It's all sorted out.

Yeong Rye worked really hard on it.

She even stepped up to lead the strike.

Really?

I didn't know Yeong Rye had that kind of backbone.

That's a surprise.

Oh, right.

Here, have a seat.

I was getting one for myself and bought one for you too.

I thought they'd look good on you.

Gosh.

Try them on.

- Should I? - Yes.

They're a perfect fit.

How did you know my size?

I just eyeballed it.

I figured we could exchange them if they didn't fit.

Sang Cheol, that idiot, always says you shouldn't give shoes as a gift.

He says they'll use them to run away from you.

But I've never believed in things like that.

Where would you even go without me?

Right?

Wearing these,

let's go have some fun today.

What should we do? Anything you want.

- I get to choose? - Yes.

In that case...

Since I get to choose,

how about we get out of the neighbourhood for once?

I took most of it.

Are you okay?

Here, let's trade.

Here.

(Haunted House)

Gosh. Look at that!

Look over there.

Watch this.

Gosh, it's so beautiful, right?

- Cheers. - Cheers.

That looks delicious, right?

- Should I try it? - Go ahead.

Is it good?

You got some on your face.

Wait. We're not going home already, are we?

Do you want me to tell you?

What is it?

Are you going to do it this time?

No.

Here, let me see.

- Is it bad? - No, it's fine.

- Give it here. I'll put it on. - I've got it.

It's an awkward spot. Let me help.

Oh, no.

New shoes usually need some time to be broken in.

We walked too much today.

I wasn't thinking.

I'm sorry.

Next time,

let's just stay in one place and not move an inch.

There...

won't be a next time.

What?

What's that supposed to mean?

Let's...

Let's just end it here.

We're too different.

We grew up in different worlds, and I don't have a mom or a dad,

I just have a brother I'd like to kill sometimes.

But that's something you already know.

But now that we're actually together,

it's become painfully clear how different we are.

And I'm exhausted from the strike, too.

That's insane. To just do this out of the blue...

You're right.

This is just who I am.

Impulsive and selfish.

I'm fickle and too proud for my own good.

So let's end this before you're completely sick of me.

I'm sorry.

No.

Don't be sorry.

I can't accept this.

- Jae Pil. - Why are you doing this?

I mean, why all of a sudden?

What changed your mind?

We were happy, weren't we?

Yes, it was good. It was.

But it wasn't all good.

You said it yourself. That new shoes need breaking in.

But with us,

there are too many obstacles in the way.

We'll probably always feel uncomfortable...

like we're wearing shoes that don't fit.

I guess...

This is as far as my feelings for you go.

Thanks for the band-aid.

Take care.

And make sure you get into college.

Seo Jong Hee.

Are you...

really okay with never seeing me again?

Just like this?

You're really ending it just like that?

Yes.

It's not like we've been together that long.

Jong Hee!

You said you were meeting Jae Pil, so why...

Hey, what's wrong?

Did something happen?

What is it? What's wrong, Jong Hee?

What is it?

This is for the best.

This is for the best.

It can't be helped.

Here's the weather.

Today, an earlier than usual first snow of the season...

is forecast across the country.

First snow? But it's only November.

No way.

Tell me about it.

But it sure has gotten chilly all of a sudden.

Oh, my.

Why are you blocking the way?

Hey, now.

What's gotten into him now?

It has to be wiped perfectly clean.

He's always picking on Yeong Rye these days.

Where is Mudeung Mountain tiger?

It should come take that punk.

One, two, three.

Goodness. That's so loud.

Darn it. Of all the days, why'd he set up right there.

- Oh, no. - Goodness.

Gosh. I messed it up again.

This airplane one is way too hard.

I can do the hat shape with my eyes closed now.

That scared me!

That scared me. Sae Ri!

You made me break it again.

Why are you always so jumpy?

She startles at every little thing.

All right. Again.

Okay, focus up.

Wait, is that my wife?

Stop.

Back up.

What do you think you're doing here?

- You scared me. - Dad.

So this is what you've been up to when you're not home.

Out on the street with our daughter, eating junk food?

We're going home!

- Get in! Now! - All right.

Why are you yelling like that?

Let me just get this one last thing. I'm so close to getting it.

Seriously, this woman.

And the housekeeper's off today!

I'm hungry!

I need to get dinner on the table!

Hurry and get in. Sae Ri, get in.

- Come on, hurry. Get in. - Gosh. Seriously.

Man Ok is saying she'll leave as soon as she gets it.

It's not like getting this takes an hour.

You won't pass out from hunger if dinner's a little late, right?

- Am I right? - What's with this lady?

Are you going to let go of me or what?

I won't.

I can't let go.

Not until you let go of his hand, sir.

It's just lipstick on a pig, you know.

A truly respectable person should cherish their spouse.

You're doing this on the street, in front of a cheap snack vendor.

How could you humiliate her like this?

Be home in 30 minutes.

Or else...

You're getting kicked out.

Don't be late!

Oh, my gosh. You were incredible.

You sent infamous Han Gi Bok away just like that.

Gosh.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

That was so incredibly satisfying!

Hey, not in front of the kid.

Hurry up and get your prize before you get kicked out.

He won't kick me out. He's all talk.

But seriously, that was so satisfying.

You're really...

These fried anchovies are well-salted.

They're mighty tasty.

Jeong Bun, you've been eating so much lately.

At this rate, you'll eat us out of house and home.

But I'm just so curious, I have to ask.

Jong Hee.

Why on earth did you and your boyfriend break up?

Yes, I've been wondering that myself.

You were so crazy about each other. What happened?

There was no reason.

That's just how relationships are.

People meet, and people break up.

You can be crazy about someone, and then just get tired of them.

I get bored easily.

I'm just really fickle.

But still, Jong Hee, you two were...

That's enough.

I told you not to bring that up.

Eat.

Come on, eat up.

I'm telling you to slow down.

The way you're eating,

anyone would think you're pregnant...

Don't tell me.

You're not, are you?

Hey!

Even as a joke,

you can't say that to an unmarried woman.

How did this happen?

Who is he?

Jeong Bun, why would you do that?

What were you thinking?

Ho Suk.

The one who is the most overwhelmed right now...

isn't us, it's Jeong Bun.

The father.

Does the father know?

Does he even know?

This is insane, seriously.

I'm getting rid of it.

I have to. What other choice do I have?

A baby without a father...

How am I supposed to raise a child on my own?

Hey.

Come work out with me today.

You've been studying like a maniac lately.

How can you stay glued to your chair without a single bathroom break?

Seriously, you're starting to scare me.

Are you even listening?

Come on, let's go.

We can hit the heavy bag a bit. Get some fresh air.

The weather's so nice out, you know?

Hey, and let's be real here.

Is Seo Jong Hee the only girl in the world or something?

A guy with your looks, your money, and your personality.

If you just so much as wink at them...

Girls would be lining up by the truckload for you!

I'm sorry.

That's why I'm saying we should go!

This doesn't add up.

None of it adds up.

Ms. Gye.

The secret inspector's headcount, from corporate,

and the deposit amount here. Why don't they match at all?

Nothing adds up at all.

Are you sure you calculated this correctly?

I did calculate it correctly.

Those inspectors come undercover, but act like they can't be bothered.

They do a sloppy job counting.

So of course the headcount is going to be off.

All right, that's enough.

Quiet.

These corporate guys...

- Unbelievable. - Gosh.

What on earth isn't adding up?

I mean, come on.

You think you can get away with playing dumb?

The deposit amount is off!

I'm telling you, that's impossible.

I'm sure I collected the fare...

from every single passenger that day,

and I deposited the exact amount I received.

Then why is the headcount the corporate inspector took...

different from the amount you deposited?

The answer is pretty obvious.

Either the money grew wings and flew away,

or someone skimmed off the top.

Are you...

accusing me right now?

Yes.

I am.

Why? What?

Do you have proof that you didn't?

Out of all things, I would never steal.

And I'd never sell my conscience for money.

In all my years as a conductor,

that's a line I've never crossed.

Oh, that's rich.

How am I supposed to know that?

How am I supposed to take your word that you've been honest?

(Vivaldi Music Cafe, 2nd Floor)

Hey, you're here?

The usual Vienna coffee?

Yes.

You know, your girlfriend requests that same song whenever she's here.

Are you two obsessed with this song or something?

But why have you been coming in separately lately?

Are your schedules not lining up?

She keeps...

coming here by herself?

Yes.

She doesn't stay long.

She just requests this one song,

listens to it on repeat a few times, and then leaves.

I'll go get your coffee.

Okay.

(Song Request, Vivaldi Cafe)

(Vivaldi Music Cafe, 2nd Floor)

It's really snowing.

Why are you by yourself?

I don't know. My heart just feels heavy.

Jeong Bun had to go somewhere and left a while ago.

Yeong Rye was called in by the manager earlier.

- and isn't back yet. - How long has Yeong Rye been gone?

Let's see.

It's been about...

a good 30 minutes.

Thirty minutes?

Yes.

You know the kind of person I trust the least in this world?

People who act all righteous,

so high and mighty.

The kind who pretends to have a conscience.

Leading a strike like you're some kind of saint,

going on and on about human rights,

but then stabbing people in the back and skimming money, just like you!

What makes you so sure?

Aren't you...

just trying to frame me for this?

Unbelievable.

I've been patient, but don't push it.

Hey.

You think you're so special, don't you?

Getting one over on the company.

We've got a real hero on our hands.

All right, I've had enough of you.

I'm going to find the evidence...

and staple that mouth of yours shut.

Where's the money you skimmed?

Where is it? Hand it over!

What is wrong with you? Seriously!

Where is it? Give me the money you skimmed!

Where is it?

Have you completely lost your mind?

Hey, what gives you the nerve to act up like this?

Do you know how much heat I'm taking from corporate because of you?

Why are you pushing my buttons!

Why?

Jong...

Jong Hee!

(Cheongah Bus)

Stop it! What are you trying to do?

Run.

Yeong Rye.

Run, Jong Hee.

Run.

Hurry.

- Quick! - No.

What if he dies?

If that happens...

No.

No, he won't die.

People don't die that easily, Jong Hee.

So...

Leave this to me.

You just get out of here.

Hurry!

I'll be fine.

My life has always been come-what-may anyway.

I don't care if I get punished.

How can you say that, Seo Jong Hee?

Just...

Run away, please. Okay?

Go.

Yeong Rye.

Go as far away as you can.

And stay out of sight.

Lay low, all right?

Go.

Please, Jong Hee.

Go.

Go.

Koh Yeong Rye?

Jae Pil.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Jong Hee...

Jong Hee...

What about Jong Hee?

Did something happen to Jong Hee? Jong Hee, where is she?

Jong Hee...

Jong Hee...

What am I going to do?

(7 years later, Year 1989)

Hello.

(Please use tokens. Token 14 cents, Cash 15 cents)

(Bus 30 Route)

(Juri Beauty Salon)

- Hello. - You're here?

(Juri Beauty Salon)

To check the iron's heat, hold it near your nose.

If you feel the heat, it's ready, okay?

Thank you.

Yeong Rye. Get changed and hurry on down.

What?

I start at 10am. I'm not late yet.

I know.

It's not that you're late.

It's that difficult client, the manager's cut regular.

His cut's done, but he's insisting on getting his hair washed by you.

Says you have the magic touch or something.

Gosh, he's the worst.

And has he no manners?

The way he talks down to people.

If he weren't a customer, I would just...

All right, tell him I'll just be a minute.

(Hair Designer Koh Yeong Rye)

More.

- Excuse me? - No, I mean...

It feels great, so do more.

You really do have the magic touch.

What? Are you crazy?

Is something the matter, sir?

It seems you suffer from chronic headaches.

So I just pressed a pressure point for you.

Did you not like it?

I mean, what kind of pressure point hurts that much?

It's just, you don't usually make such a peculiar sound.

Not unless the headache was particularly severe.

I might have applied a little more pressure.

Would you like me to go a little easier?

Yeong Rye, your boyfriend's here.

(A Hundred Memories)

"Rose Day?"

I guess this is another one of those days to confess your love?

Maybe this is your chance...

to finally tell Jae Pil how you feel?

Jae Pil? Where did that come from?

No, it would just make things weird.

How long are you going to leave her hanging like this?

Make your move, you fool.

It's about the Medical Students' Night this week.

Is it true that you get a huge fine if you don't have a partner?

Hello?

Are you free this Sunday?

So what is Yeong Rye to you?

I mean, is she more than a friend?

Are you sure it's okay for me to go?

Of course, it's fine.

I'm only asking because it's you.

- Jong Hee? - Yeong Rye!
