What?

Can't you see me?

You still can't see me?

No!

Hey.

Hey.

Over here.

Can't you see me?

I can.

I think my leg is stuck.

Can you help me?

How is it?

Damn it, I can't pull it out.

What are you doing?

Help me get it out.

God, you startled me. Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, Gang-du.

-No, I know a good place. -Forget it.

-What the hell? -Damn.

-What's his problem? -Let's just go.

What? Are you picking a fight with me?

You little piece of shit.

Just ignore him, man. He's a drunk.

Hey, when you bump into someone, you apologize!

-Geez. -You bastards!

Get out of my face, asshole!

-Damn it. -Hey!

He's freaking crazy.

Hey! You want a piece of me?

You little…

Hey, that's enough. Let's just go.

-That asshole. -Just go.

Hey! Did you just punch me?

You have to pay me for it then!

Hey!

You're exactly the same as when I first met you ten years ago.

Gosh. Oh, my knees.

I can never get used to this hill.

Why are you in such a hurry so early?

I'm glad I ran into you. I left the water running.

Can you turn it off?

-My mom is still half asleep. -Are you going to a funeral?

Oh, the realtor's wife made a massage appointment for 8:00 a.m.

She has a reunion today. Thanks.

Where are you going?

SANHO PUBLIC BATH

There are landfills all over that area,

and our site is one of them, so why the fuss?

The waste is buried deeper.

You should've considered that during designing.

We can't give you money every time you ask for it.

There was no indication before.

We should dig it out or put pipes--

Do you think it's easy to dig it out?

Don't you know how much it costs to dispose of waste?

I don't.

Cheongyu's first business was waste disposal,

so you should know.

-What did you say? -So it's costly.

Are you going to just ignore it like your father did?

Please let us reinvestigate the ground.

I'm going to go now.

Did your dad teach you how to nitpick like this?

Don't be like him.

You'll make a mistake too.

I'm not as generous as my father.

You can leave now.

I tell you when to leave.

Not the other way around.

Oh, what… What is it?

What's going on? Is there a problem?

No. Where is Gang-du?

He said he'd be working today.

I don't know. It's like he's the boss of me.

He just walked out, and I can't get a hold of him.

I haven't fired him only because there's no substitute.

He's been working hard lately. I guess he was tired.

Nonsense.

-Here. Please have this. -I'm good.

A popsicle before breakfast?

No, thanks.

LEE GANG-DU

The dead aren't the only victims.

What about the ones living in misery?

How do you compensate them?

I said no! This area is for authorized personnel only.

Who are you to stop me from seeing my own land?

Please leave! Close the gate!

-Geez. -Hey!

Hey! Open the gate!

Open the gate.

I said, open the gate.

Open it!

Ma'am, are you okay?

You can hold on to me.

Please drink this.

-For the tea. -No, it's okay.

In this world,

if you owe someone something, you must repay them with interest.

We probably won't meet again, so take it. Thank you.

Are you okay?

Don't sit up. You'll get dizzy.

We just met, but I owe you so much already.

-It's all right. -No, it's not.

It's such an imposition to take up someone's time.

You should go now.

I'll wait until someone comes.

No one is coming. You should go.

Then I'll stay until you're finished with the drip. You can't move around.

I'm telling you. I'm fine.

I wasn't.

I told people to leave because I felt bad

and it was uncomfortable,

but when they did, I felt sad and upset.

That's how I felt.

Do you need anything?

Just tell me and pay me back with interest later.

Canned peaches.

Canned peaches?

They're cool and sweet.

They're the best when you don't have an appetite.

I don't know why I'm so sleepy.

Make sure to leave your phone number.

Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Let's take this patient up to the exam room.

Someone was with her until a minute ago.

Don't we need her consent first?

-No. Take her up now. -Okay.

Why am I here?

I pick you up like this all the time.

Just ignore me from now on.

What is going on with you?

Is there a profound meaning to it,

like you're trying to conquer pain with more pain?

Whatever it is, you need to stop.

If it didn't work for ten years, you need to try something else.

You're only wrecking your body.

Gosh, I'm old now.

I'm not strong enough to carry you anymore.

My makeup looks terrible.

You're not old. You're the prettiest girl around here.

I know you're full of it, but it's still nice to hear.

-Where are you going? -Out on business.

-This is where you wanted to come with me? -Yeah.

Don't go anywhere while I fish. Stay right here.

I'll make you some incredible noodles later.

If you're going to catch a fish, make sure it's a big one.

That's not something I can control.

I'll show you some old skills of mine.

Gosh.

Stroke my hair.

-What-- -Hey.

I'll pay you extra money for it. Come on, I'm tired.

Why are you tired? All you've done today is fish.

You don't know how tired I am.

Nobody listens to me.

All they ever do is whine to me about money.

I am exhausted,

but no one knows. Not a single person.

Why aren't you stroking my hair?

You don't have to pay money for this kind of thing.

-You can go home and ask your wife-- -No.

With her,

it feels like I'm begging.

You and I have a nice, transactional relationship.

Go on then.

Yes, right there.

That feels nice.

Softer touches up there.

PEACHES

Your call cannot be connected…

GANG-DU

Call me when you see this.

Or I'll track you down.

Granny.

Here.

You don't want this?

I like the juice.

Why did you wait? I might've taken a lot longer.

What if you didn't see me leaving?

Then I'd be drinking the juice.

-Are you single? -Sorry?

-Do you have a boyfriend? -No.

I'll be sure to pay back this debt somehow.

Put your number in here.

"Debt"?

It's not a debt.

Even if I forget,

there's a boy who'll do it on my behalf. Don't worry.

He may look sloppy, but he has a strong sense of responsibility.

-Are you done? -Oh, yes.

I can vouch for him.

I don't vouch for just anyone, you know.

He's thoughtful, and he can take care of himself.

I can always be proud of him.

You came to see Mun-su?

She took the day off. She said she had some important business.

Maybe she went to hang out with Gang-du.

They spend a lot of time together.

I need to check the models for the model house opening tomorrow.

Tell her not to schedule anything else for tomorrow.

Since when are you and Mr. Lee on a first-name basis?

Your call cannot be connected…

LEE GANG-DU

Where the hell have you been…

What is that?

What are you, really?

Why do you always get beaten up?

I didn't get beaten up.

This is nothing. You should see the other guy.

-He'd be dead. -That's right.

What are you doing here?

You didn't go to work or answer your phone.

You made me come all the way here.

-He didn't come home last night either. -You little…

Hey, don't do this in my room. Leave.

Both of you. It's late.

Come on. You should go. Sang-man, you too.

These are the basic steps of the dragon kung fu.

Look, you're impatient.

-That's why you throw punches first. -Hey.

True strength comes from softness.

Big brother.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hey!

I said, go.

What is it?

What?

About yesterday.

Mr. Choi Il-do's mother.

Her neighbors cremated her this morning.

They put her in the public columbarium.

I thought I should tell you.

I'm sorry.

For what?

Letting you see her alone.

It must've been scary.

That's the last bus.

I could've taken a cab.

SAINT MUN-SU

Where are you?

Call me.

Call me when you see this.

Or I'll track you down.

RECENT CALLS, MR. SEO

Hello?

I'm sorry I missed your calls. What's up?

Where are you?

In my neighborhood.

Are you with Ms. Ha?

No.

Okay.

What was that about?

GANG-DU

Sorry I made you work alone today.

Let's do everything together from now on.

We're a team.

Oh, for God's sake.

Who is it?

We got a report that this man was wandering around your house all night.

He says he's your brother. Is that right?

Yes.

But just to be safe, will you call me in five minutes?

If I don't pick up, please come back.

Sometimes your family can be scarier.

Thank you.

What the hell? How did you know I live here?

Why did you drop the charges against me?

That's your problem? I can do whatever I want.

Tell me the reason.

I hate favors without a reason.

Favors?

I thought I'd better just ignore someone like you.

If you want to keep wasting your life writing hateful comments,

go ahead because I don't care. Satisfied? Leave now.

-Leave! -Flow Money.

-What? -My cartoon that I posted on the Web.

You left a comment three years ago and said that I had potential.

I did?

I knew it.

Take responsibility.

Hey!

Hey, what are you…

I'm good at coloring, you know.

I was bound to do community service anyway.

I'll do it here, so use me.

You've got some nerve. I told you to go. Get out!

Answer it.

Come on. The police will come back.

Get out.

CHEONGYU CONSTRUCTION

MODEL HOUSE OPENING FOR VVIPS

What's the big deal about replacing a guard?

Replacing a guard won't solve matters.

Even though it was a small, harmless accident,

we don't need silly rumors going around.

Someone needs to be held responsible.

If anybody needs to be held responsible,

it's the on-site manager, not the security team.

How could we possibly replace the on-site manager right now?

We can easily hire new security guards.

Be rational, please.

You haven't changed.

You're exactly the same.

You've built Cheongyu Construction into what it is now with my father.

Seeing how he sent you here to talk to me,

I guess he's really desperate.

If the company goes under, all the employees will lose their jobs.

The victims' families won't receive proper compensation either.

If you could just turn a blind eye this one time--

Jung Yu-jin.

Get out. Get out!

PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE S MALL COLLAPSE

PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE S MALL COLLAPSE

All of us at Cheongyu Construction feel deeply responsible.

We empathize with the agony of the victims and their families

and sincerely apologize for their losses.

You're smiling?

You killed all those people. You think sorry is going to cut it?

-Sir. -Move!

I'm so sorry. I made a mistake.

Why did you make a mistake?

And why now?

You think you would've been different?

Imagine if you'd been in my position. You would've done--

No.

I would've stood by you.

It would've been hard,

but if you had,

it would've made us better people.

We need some anchors in the ground because it's too soft.

So why are we pouring concrete?

Who do you think pocketed the money for it?

The manager is hand in glove with the supplier.

Just keep quiet about it.

LIST OF MATERIALS

What?

You look a lot like him.

What?

Sir.

Mr. Jung wants to take you to a nice place. He told me to find you.

This punk. What are you doing here?

Unless you are in charge of supplies, get out.

Get out of here.

Shall we?

Hey.

You're eating without me?

You could've waited.

Don't take that tone.

I didn't know how long you'd be.

You're a terrible person.

I'm not.

-What's this? -Oh, that?

That architect girl brought it when she came to see you yesterday.

Where did you go yesterday anyway?

You didn't even answer your phone.

Hey, you wouldn't be working here if it wasn't for me.

You've got no experience in this field. Who'd hire you?

You're eating an ice pop before your meal?

You're not supposed to do that.

You've got no respect for food.

Let's get back inside.

MODEL HOUSE OPENING FOR VVIPS

CHEONGYU CASTLE

Where do you think you're going?

I still have work to do.

-Wining and dining is also work. -Not mine.

They're from the bank that will be investing in our project.

It's their money you're spending.

No, it's fine…

Could you carry it for me then? Thank you.

Hey.

After you, it's her?

That's a huge downgrade.

I got a new car. You want a ride?

There are only four of them in the country!

Why didn't you answer my calls yesterday?

Sorry?

I waited.

Oh. It was too late at night when I saw it.

I meant to ask you this morning.

It's okay if you call me at night.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for letting me help you earlier.

If you hadn't, I would've been embarrassed.

I thought so.

Was it obvious that I was pretending to be tough in front of Mr. Jung?

Yes.

Oh, it was obvious.

It's okay. It looked natural.

They're building something new again.

They tear down buildings so easily and put up new ones so fast.

It'd be nice to have more buildings that last for centuries.

Don't you think?

You should sit.

Drink your tea.

I didn't know about this place.

My dad liked it here and often brought me.

I like seeing things like that here.

Yes, it's nice.

I'm envious.

My parents are separated.

My dad passed away.

I look forward to the buildings you'll be constructing.

Now I feel pressured.

I often do a poor job.

When I was renovating this place, I got an earful from my dad as well.

He said I was calculating numbers without even looking at the site.

Your father was an architect too?

This place looks different from outside. I can show you around later.

Okay.

I have a friend who's a webtoonist. This can be her reference.

Not a lot of people know that old buildings like this still exist.

It's beautiful, right? It's perfect for the background.

Imagine the main characters riding bikes around here.

They'd fall in love for sure.

It's nice, but I'll pass on the bikes.

They're too hard to draw.

What's this?

Who's this guy?

My boss.

-He's in the picture? -Oh, you little prude.

You really don't know, or is it an act?

-Know what? -His eyes.

Look at this sweet, romantic gaze.

The way he looks at you is how a man looks at a woman.

Why?

A nice guy likes you, and you want to avoid him again?

-It's not that. -You always say that.

What is it then? He's a good person. So why not?

Because he's a good person.

He should be with someone good as well.

That's crap.

You're a good person too.

At least to me, you're the best person in the world, okay?

By the way, he looks a little too sweet though.

I need another look.

-Oh, come on. -What?

Stop it.

What?

Did you eat all those popsicles by yourself?

Even before your meal? Geez.

Thanks for these.

GANG-DU

The Seoyeon-dong bus stop at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

The next place is closer to my house.

What? That's it?

She didn't ask me how I was doing or add any emojis.

Stop looking at your damn phone and do what I told you!

Put those boxes up there first.

Hey, make sure you clean all the dust.

Squeeze water out of the rag!

Why are you doing this? Since when do you clean?

Shut up and do it.

I would if you gave me some money, at least.

I'll give you more than money.

You've been saying that to me for over ten years.

But what have you given me? Work, humiliation and insults?

Empty these drawers

and clean them as well.

Hey, don't lose anything in these drawers.

The medicine for my regulars

and the payment dates are all…

Oh, you brat. You could at least pretend like you're listening!

There you go again.

Look. Here is my clients' contact information.

The contracts are in the drawer too. You should keep these--

What are you doing?

Are you going somewhere?

I have money and no family to support. I could go anywhere if I wanted.

But what about me?

Listen to you. Did you think I'd be by your side forever?

Can't you see the dust flying around? Hurry up and clean.

I'm not doing this.

Don't go anywhere.

Just live the way you always have.

What's the use of cleaning up?

You want to go somewhere? Just go to the playground and exercise.

Who'd give me moxibustion if not you?

Another bottle of soju, please.

You had enough drinks at the salon. You still want more?

Hey, the drinks I have at work

and the ones I buy myself are not the same.

Let her drink tonight.

Her first customer was an ass.

We're done for the day, so drink all you want and go home.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Hey, why don't you have a drink with us?

Hey.

What's with her today?

You're the one who recommended this place, so why are you so late?

Don't get me started. Granny turned her store upside down.

Gosh, did you see that? I can't straighten my arm.

Noodles, please.

Hey, eat some food while drinking,

or you'll get sick.

My mom used to give me warm milk too when I was sick.

Okay, no more drinks.

Sir, don't be nice and give us things for free.

Even a small thing can mislead these vulnerable girls.

NOODLES AND GIMBAP

Oh, they work at a nearby place.

I told them to come eat here at night.

More sales for you, a good hangover cure for them.

Walk with me.

Why are we going this way? Aren't you going home?

I have a client.

-Mr. Jung? -Yes. Why? You don't like it?

It doesn't matter if I don't. I just think you're too good for him.

Don't worry. I don't consider my clients as men.

I'm going to date someone nice and single.

And you? Are you ever going to date?

Date? Come on. You can't do everything you want to do.

You can't, and that frustration is what keeps you going.

You never know what life has in store.

That's what makes it fun.

You have it all figured out.

That damn thing called love comes when you think it's over.

Make sure you don't miss it. Bye.

Which side is the front?

She left the light on.

SANHO PUBLIC BATH

Why did the boiler suddenly break down? It was fine.

Whether it's a person or a thing, it's bound to break after ten years.

Is Kim coming to fix it or not?

I don't know. We'll know when he gets here.

It looks like we won't be working today.

Already?

What else am I going to do all day?

I'm going out.

To work? But it's the weekend. Why won't they let you rest?

Even if it's work, you should dress up more.

Look at those dull clothes. You should wear a lacy skirt,

put curls in your hair and stuff.

Oh, wait.

Hey, you look much prettier.

Even just some lipstick makes you look beautiful.

It's good to be young.

Do I look pretty?

Gosh.

How pretty.

Oh, you look… What are you doing?

-What are you doing, Mom? -Don't do it.

Mom!

Not you! Don't put makeup on your face.

Why? Why can't I?

Because I can't lose you too!

They say a beautiful flower withers more quickly.

I didn't know.

She was just a child, but I put makeup on her face

and made her go out and work.

What was I thinking?

I must've been out of my mind.

Yun-ok. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Yun-ok…

I must've been out of my mind.

No, Yun-ok. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

We can't work today anyway, so let's just drink all we want.

Come on, Yun-ok.

You two are always so chummy. You make me look like a crazy person.

We don't do that. It's a misunderstanding.

Mun-su is my daughter. Stop caring about her so much.

I'm not going to take her away from you, okay?

Oh, that's good.

I know how you must feel.

If I don't, who would?

Even I feel like this when I think of Yeon-su.

I know it's much worse for you.

Still, I'm jealous of you.

I really am.

Mun-su loves you so much.

She's always on your side.

Still, you have a husband.

A bad husband is still better than a good child.

Your children leave you eventually.

Forget about all the children and husbands.

When you're old, friends are all you have left.

Really?

Yeah.

They said something came up.

They want to reschedule.

All of a sudden?

Yeah.

They should've called sooner and saved us the trouble.

I guess I'll see you--

Since we're already out…

let's do something.

-Put this on. -No.

Come on, put it on.

I said no. Not a chance.

I'll wear it then.

Why do people pay money to go on that thing?

Right?

I'm hungry.

I want to eat octopus.

Octopus?

Sliced octopus dipped in sesame oil and wrapped with spicy green onion.

Oh, I should stop. Talking about it makes me want it more.

You know what?

Octopuses have a very high IQ.

Even higher than a dog's.

They can recognize people's faces.

I bet you can't eat it now.

Then I should eat oysters instead.

Oysters?

With some chives and spicy chili.

If you roll it in your mouth and pop it, it's so tasty.

Even just a bite makes you so happy.

-Please enjoy. -Thanks.

I'm surprised you eat this.

I didn't see any other places.

Eat.

You can't eat it, can you? Order something else.

-Can we have the menu-- -No. I'm going to eat it.

I'm just waiting for it to cool down.

I'll go wash my hands. Don't touch it.

Pineapple?

No, I'm good.

Just taste it. You don't have to buy any.

It's really sweet.

Thank you.

It's sweet, right? Isn't it good?

Yes, it's sweet. Thank you.

All right. I'll give you two for 10,000 won.

Okay? I'll cut them for you,

so you guys can have it with your drinks later.

-It's really refreshing. -No, it's okay…

Oh, geez.

I'm really sorry.

You hurt my baby.

-I'm sorry. -That's not going to cut it.

You ruined my merchandise.

-You should compensate me for it. -Okay.

-Here. -Yeah.

-What's going on? -Nothing. I don't need the pineapple.

Now, what is that supposed to mean?

Did I ask you for money?

You dropped it, didn't you?

I'm sorry. It's for the pineapple.

This is insulting. Why are you making me look like a jerk?

Put down the knife first.

She already apologized.

Apologized? She tried to get rid of me with 10,000 won. Is that an apology?

-It's my bad. Stay out of it. -Even so!

You want me to stay out of it when he's treating you this way?

Who are you to butt in? My baby is hurt.

Why are you so angry? It wasn't a big deal.

I told you. I'm fine.

-You're fine? -Yeah.

What are you so fine with?

Answer me.

You're fine with whatever people do?

-Let go of me. -You little fool.

Why do you bottle everything up inside?

Don't try to be so nice.

-Nobody is going to reward you! -I said, let go of me!

Good.

That's all you've got? Keep going.

Yell. Stop pretending to be okay.

-You fool! -Hey!

That's right! Yell like that!

-Is it good? -Yeah.

What's good about it?

This.

I guess this is why my mom drinks.

You can frown or just cry.

You can laugh all you want.

And just say you were drunk.

It's like you can blame it all on the alcohol.

-Ma'am. -Yes?

No, it's nothing.

Enough. You drank all that.

Me?

That's not true.

Who else could it have been? I don't drink soju.

I like guys who eat carrots.

I don't know why.

I just do.

Guys who eat carrots.

Excuse me. Can I get the bill?

Let's have one more drink. Just one more.

Forget it.

One more drink.

Or just half a drink. Please?

I'll buy.

Fine. Knock yourself out and drink until you drop.

It's you who will feel awful.

You have very thick lips.

They're like sausages.

Wow.

Hey.

That's what we're having with our drinks. Sausages.

You can't sit still for one minute?

Hey!

Do you feel better now?

What is it?

Thank you.

Hey.

Don't tell me you're asleep.

You're up?

Let's go then.

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM JIN-WOO

You run errands? I'll carry it.

-It's fine. -You're so stubborn, Shorty.

Why do you keep calling me short? I'm petite.

Even if she doesn't care,

she won't just let someone take away what's hers.

Didn't you know that Mun-su and Gang-du like each other?

What are you, a kid? You got it all over your lips.

Aren't you two tired of playing Romeo and Juliet?

Do you need an obstacle to get fired up? Did you, missus?

Don't ask me for any favors.

I already compromised once.

I'm going to stick by Ju-won and see it through this time.

Did you know about Gang-du's father?

Watch what you say.

Then you should've stepped in and protected Gang-du.

Don't go. Let me explain.

Not now. Let's talk later.
